It's been six years since the day of the celebration where Jace's and my relationship was defined. Six years since we both admitted our love for each other, with knowing that we weren't related. Six years of fighting side by side as shadow hunters have passed. Six years of daily kisses and murmurings of sweet nothings.
And I, Clary Morgenstern, have loved every second of it. A few weeks after the parade, everyone moved back to the New York Institute. By everyone, I mean the Lightwoods, Jace, Jocelyn, Luke, and me.
Luke, Jocelyn, and I decided to move into the Institute, to make things easier. After all, Jace, Alec, Isabelle, and Jocelyn all decided to teach me how to be a Shadow hunter. That didn't thrill Luke too much but he eventually gave in.
Speaking of Luke and Jocelyn, they got married 3 years after the parade and I am proud to say that I have a baby sister who is 2 years old and a little brother on the way. My baby sister's name is Christina, but I call her Chris. Jocelyn and Luke don't know what they're going to name the baby boy, though.
Jace was the one who was constantly by my side, teaching me runes and teaching me how to fight. By the second year of my training, I was almost as good as him. After all, it was in my blood.
I liked fighting by Jace's side. I loved depending on him and how he depended on me. Anyone could see how great a pair we are. But that's not all I love about Jace, of course. Surprisingly, when Jace and I are alone, he's actually quite the romantic.
Well, scratch that, he's a romantic even when we're not alone. I'll give you an example, one day we were hunting down a nest of Ravener demons, and Jace is leading the way when, all of a sudden, he turns around and says, "You look absolutely stunning in Shadow hunter gear." Keep in mind that we all thought something was wrong when he suddenly spun around.
But, well, today he's still the witty and sarcastic Jace that I fell in love with so long ago and I have never been so in love wit him, either. Of course, we've both grown up, quite a lot actually.
I'm now 22 years old and Jace is 23. Somewhere along the line, I actually developed curves, but I still had the same red, untamable hair and clear complexion. I pretty much looked the same, aside from my curves. Jace. Damn. He's still pretty much the same, but he has grown. A lot. He's almost 6'2" now and I'm just a measly 5'5".
Today is our 6-year anniversary and we are in Idris. Why are we in Idris? I have no clue, but everyone at the New York Institute decided to take a spontaneous vacation. So, now, Jace and I were just walking the streets, holding hands and sharing kisses every once in a while.
This is just the prologue.
And I'll be continuing it.
I'll get the next chapter up as soon as I can.
This is my first Mortal Instruments fic, so review please!
