AN: Hi this is my first fan fiction and this is really just a crazy idea I got and I wanted to share it. I'm not sure if you guys would want me to continue this or not. I hope you enjoy it. I did some editing and hopefully this will help, but I'm not sure. I also tried to give Emily and Selene more of a background.

Disclaimer: I only own the OCs, the rest belongs to Cassandra Clare.

Chapter 1: Visit from Family

Simon POV

It's been two years since I've last seen my cousins. Two years and in that time a lot has changed. I know that I've changed science they last saw me. I'm not even human anymore. I'm a vampire, the daylighter to be exact. I know that I will have to be careful and not get my cousins involved in the Shadow world. If they get involved things could end up getting very messy, it's better just to leave them out of the Shadow world. This means that summer is going to be interesting, trying to keep my cousins out of the Shadow world and yet still spend time with them, especially since I have some new friends that are part of the Shadow world.

My mom and I stood in th airport awaiting for my two cousins Em and her older sister Selene. We were expecting to see a tall blond hired girl and a short brunette, however what we saw were two tall girls one with blond hair, the other one with brunette hair with blue tips. I'm shocked that Em's mom let her get her hair dyed, she usually isn't allowed to do things like that.

Despite the fact that they are sisters they look nothing alike and don't act alike. Selene is like a Barbie doll and is very high maintenance, she always gets her way no matter what. Emily is pretty much the exact opposite, Emily is pretty, but not a Barbie doll, she looks like she could easily kick your ass, and if you give her a reason to she probably would.

When they get to us Em and Selene greet us , however Selene looks more interested in her phone than greeting her family. While we are riding home I notice that Em doesn't seem completely like I remember her. She seems more distant somehow like she is hiding something. Unlike the last time she was in New York with us she seems quieter and like something is bothering her. Who knows what's going on inside her head. She was never this distant, but now she seems to always be thinking.

Emily POV

I was in my room in Florida pack in up my stuff to head to New York. I was a little pissed at my mom, not because she was sending us to New York to visit Simon, but because she decided this last minute. It's bad enough that I have to hide what I am from my parents and my sister so they don't try to kill me or disown me, but now I have to spend the summer with my aunt and my cousin, and they almost found out my secret the last time we saw each other.

I walked over into Selene's room to see if she was ready. When I walked in she was texting on her phone, knowing Selene it was probably one of her annoying stuck up friends.

"Hey Sel. You ready to go?"

"Why do you care? It's not like you even want to go."

"I do want to go. In fact I'm excited to go, we haven't seen Simon in two years! It's been two years and you don't even want to see them!"

"I never said that!"

"You definitely implied it."

"I had plans this summer! It's not that I don't want to see Si, I had plans that I had to cancel!"

"Yes because those plans you had this summer are going to affect your life sooo much!" That statement finally got her to look at me.

"You don't know that they wouldn't affect my life, and what are you wearing!"

I looked down at my outfit which consisted of jeggings, a light blue t-shirt, and my black ankle boots and replied "Actual clothes, not those off brands that you and your stuck up friends think are soooo cool."

Before Selene could reply we heard our mom yell at us to grab our suitcases and anything that we wanted to bring with us.

The ride over to the airport was silent and boring so I put in my headphones so I wouldn't go deaf from the silence. Selene spent the whole car ride on her phone, nothing new there. At least she would be texting on the plane, maybe I could try to get an actual conversation out of her with out us fighting.

We were just barely able to get to our flight on time. I tried talking Selene a couple times, but eventually gave up when she wouldn't respond, so I just slept most of the way to New York. When I woke up Selene was finally off her phone and looked completely bored.

"How long until we get to New York?"

"About another hour." Selene replied.

"What do you want to do until then?"

"I don't know, and when did you dye the ends of your hair blue? I didn't remember seeing that earlier."

"I've had this for a while. I did it at my friend's house the last time we had a sleepover." This was a complete lie, but I had to give my sister some excuse so she wouldn't get pulled into my secrets.

"Oh, it looks good, mom should have let you do that earlier."

"Who says mom let me?"

"You did that without her permission!?"

"Yep. I've already done the time for this crime sis." In all honesty when mom saw this I did get grounded, so I just let my true hair colors show.

The plane Selene and I were on finally landed in New York. When we got off the plane we were able to spot Simon pretty quickly. When we got nearer I noticed that Simon wasn't completely like I remembered. When I gave him a hug and said hello he was cold to the touch, and in that moment I realized he wasn't human anymore he's a vampire, but it's day time, holy shit my cousin is the daylighter! This went through my head within about 10 seconds and when we got in the car I thought about how I was going to tell him I knew his secret and how I know his secret, which means revealing my own secret. I didn't even realize how quiet the car ride was, or that Selene was texting the entire way to Simon's house. All I could think about was how I'm no longer the only one in this family keeping a secret.
