Hey guys, I didn't like my original first chapter, so here is a new one! This is a prologue actually more than a chapter. This is a flashback in Clary's POV and it will have a small summary. Okay, so here is the prologue! Sorry for all the mistakes with spelling and grammar. I tried my best! Enjoy...


{2015}

"Clary there's something I need to tell you."

"Sure, what is it?" Confused, I looking up from Wattpad on my computer, facing my mom, who has a nervous look on her face. And we Fray's are never nervous. "I think it's better if you sit down because this might take a while." I sat down slowly, still confused and now also worried.

"So what is it mom? You can tell me anything." My mom and I have this mom-and-daughter-best-friend relationship. I can tell her anything, except about the fact I get bullied by Jace Lightwood. I'm pretty sure she knows, just doesn't wanna talk to me about it...

Jocelyn walks over, sits down next to me, and sighs. "Well, you know how when Luke and I got married, we didn't have a big wedding." I slowly nod my head, telling her to continue. "We didn't have a big wedding because we didn't want any chances of Grandma Susan to know. Cause she doesn't really except Luke for some reason."

Wait..."So you're saying that Grandma doesn't know anything. ANYTHING (!), about Luke at all!" Before I can say anything else, mom cuts me off. "I know what you are probably thinking about this and getting angry at me. But Grandma Susan recently found out and wants Luke and I to come visit her. For a year."

"So what happens to me? Will I be coming to Florida with you and Luke?" She looks at the opposite direction. "I have, um. Arranged a stay for you at the um, Lightwoods." She looks back at me with a sheepish smile.

"WHAT?!" I quickly stand up from my bed.

I can't believe this! I could feel my eyes popping out of my head, not literally. My mom never told Grandma Susan of her marriage with Luke which it has been 3 months so far, and now she's making me, well trying to, live with the Lightwoods. FOR. A. YEAR. Call me dramatic, which I never am for I am some-what content with my live, but there is no way I will stay in the same house with the entire Lightwood family.

"I understand you and Jace have your thing, but the Lightwoods agree to take you in while Luke and I go to Florida. Please do it for me. It will be over before it even begun. Please."

"How do you even know the Lightwoods?!"

"I told you Clary, we were good friends in high school, then we moved and stopped contacting each other. Please Clary, it's just for a year." Her shoulders drops. "You know how Grandma Susan is. She takes forever to make up her mind. For God's sake, the old woman takes an hour to decide what's for dinner!" I could hear the desperation in her voice.

"Ugh, fine. When will I be leaving?" At least one of us will be happy-ish for today. Or for the next year.

end of flashback


Clary and Jace hates each other. Clary didn't even now how they started hating each other. All she knew that before the Lightwoods came to town, it was just her and Simon. Simon is now on the 'dark side'. That traitor. Ever since Isabelle Lightwood stole him from her, not as a boyfriend and girlfriend way, Simon stop hanging out with her. They even stop talking to each other, besides the occasional "hello"s when they bumped into each other in the hallways.

Clary Fray was always good at being invisible. You could say that no one was interested in her. Clary wasn't ugly. She had these vibrant green eyes and freckles across her nose and cheekbones. She had bright auburn red hair, but to avoid attention she would always had her hair up, so no one would ever really think about it. She never dressed up like Kaelie, who wears skimpy clothing like size small mini skirts.

There was 3 Lightwoods that at she knew. Isabelle, the best friend stealer (who is now dating her ex-best friend according to school's gossip). She could tell that Isabelle was proud of her body for she dress in tight leather pants and shirts, and she could make it work unlike Kaelie. Alexander, or Alec, the oldest Lightwood (Clary only seen him in town a couple times and who looks more like Isabelle than her actual twin). He had recently came out and started dating Magnus Bane, the boy who would give a her smile everyday. But Magnus smiles at everyone. And finally, there is Jace. The twin of Isabelle Lightwood, even though they look nothing alike. The "bad-boy" of Alicante High and the small Idris, which is the town they live in. The same guy who would always wipes the smile off her face when she saw him. The same boy that calls her "Freckles" and "Midget" since the day they met. The same boy who is coming back to Idris, New York tomorrow from Military school. The guy who she will be living with for a year. Amazing.


This so freaking short. But my friend Leah is bugging me so yeah! I will have a recent flashback whenever I do Clary's POV. I will have Jace POV chapters, but not a lot. Reminder this is a prologue(!), and there is Max but Clary haven't meet him yet. Please review, it would make my day! [ And maybe I'll update sooner ;) ].
