CHAPTER ONE

Jon's pov

In a small town, everyone knows everyone.

In the small town of idris, we are all like family. If something happens, everyone knows in about 1 minute after it happened.

No one knows who did it, or why they did it, she was loved by everyone. She had this laugh that if you heard it, you couldn't help but laugh to, same thing for when she smiled

Today was her birthday, she was turning 16. "Are you thinking about her to" asked Maia, one of my little sister's. I just nodded, and we started silent for the rest car ride home.

It was a Saturday, but we were at school for practice. I am the Capitan of the football team while she was the head cheerleader.

If my other little sister was here she would be the Capitan of the soccer team, and everyone knows it

"The gang is coming over tonight" Maia said. I nodded again. Everytime her birthday comes around, i feel like a shell, like the life was drained from me and i am a walking zombie.

It was my fault, i was supposed to watch her. When we pulled up to the house Maia got out, but i stayed in the car. she gave me a sad smile before walking into the house

i was 11 when she was taken. We were all at the park in our neighborhood. Me, Maia, Jace, Alec, Izzy, Simon, Magnus, Jordan, And Clary. We were all next door neighbor's, that how we all became friends.

We were playing soccer, when she got thirsty. She walked over to the bench to get a drink, but when i looked back over to where she was... she was gone

We looked everywhere, my mom called the police, but it was like she vanished from thin air. She was gone.

We don't know if she was alive or dead. She was just 9 years old. My baby sister.

She was the baby of the family, i am know 18, and Maia is 17. After she was tooken, out mom fell off of the wagen and started to drink.

she was a single mother, since our dad left when i was 6. I took care of myself and Maia. Luke , her best friend, came back from the army, and he got her out if her slump.

They got married a few years after. I am happy for her, but she was still sad. The whole town still is. It has been 7 years.

i sighed before getting out of the car. I went into the house "Hey Jon, how was practice?" asked Luke, he was in his cop uniform

"Fine, but we have a lot of work to do" he nodded his head in agreement, laughing. We got some new people on the team, and they suck, but have talent.

he looked down at his watch "shit, i have to go!" he yelled into the kitchen and a few seconds later my mom came out

"be safe" she said and kissed him on the cheek

"always"

"Where are you going now?" i asked

"To the next town over. A guy is pimping out girls, so we are going to bust him in the act" i nodded. He is a state cop.

"catch the fucker" he laughed, nodded then left.

i looked at my mom, and hugged her, knowing she needed it "i love you Jon"

"i love you too mom" we pulled apart and i walked upstairs.

so what did you think. hate it. love it. please review. love ya ;-)
