Hi I'm natasha

this is my first story I hope you enjoy it. I will try to come out with a new part about every 3-7 days until I feel it's done. each part would be about 1,000 words but this one is extra long because it's like a pilot.

this part is about clary being introduced to the school, she just met izzy and found out something surprising. Btw nocte means night in French

I hope you enjoy, please review it, it will motivate me more to post earlier.


A fresh start

I woke up to my alarm playing take me home (haha the song from the album.). It took me a couple of minutes to wake up but than I started to smell bacon, my mum must be cooking a special breakfast for when I go to my new home, the nephilim academy. I had only recently found out about shadowhunting and the whole angel demon thing. The school found out I had great potential and offered me a scholarship. I was unlucky that I had to leave my best friend simon and my old life half way thought junior year, I hate attention and coming to the school half way thought the year really isn't going to help.

I pulled my body up and out of my bed and got changed. I grabbed my black jeans and black tank top with a green singlet. I love the school uniform all we need to wear is black, it's really cool and when we do training we just add amour. The bad thing is to wear black all the time is that one of our neighbouring schools, Lycanthrope academy, nocte academy or spellcast academy could think we are emo.

I put on my black high top converse and slipped on my leather jacket. I was about to walk out the door, I turned and took one last look at my now barren room, I packed up all my band posters and photos so I could take it to my dorm. I picked up my last bag and walked downstairs where my mum Jocelyn us cooking bacon, eggs and my favourite pancakes.
"Honey are you ready?" Jocelyn asked
"Yep, I've got pretty much my whole room in these 2 suitcases."
I grabbed 3 golden pancakes and put them on my plate. I grabbed Nutella and sloshed it onto my stack. I ate them and put my plate into the sink.
"Luke, time to go!" I called, A second later my step dad Luke walked down the stairs.
"Ok let's get your stuff into the car." He said, I grabbed my bags and kissed my mum on the cheek and told her bye. I jumped into the car and waited for Luke to drive. I was quite lucky even though I didn't know about the other world, Luke was the vice principal of the Lycanthrope academy and all of the academy's and linked in the centre. There is a lunch area in the centre of the 4 academy's and the place is like a circle, at least that's what Luke has told me. We drove of thought the city of Alicante, I love the town after I found out we moved here and the academy is just outside the border.

We drove up the hill and saw the academy's, they were amazing they looked huge it was like building that would've been around the 12 hundreds, the nephilim academy was black, the Lycanthropes academy was light grey- almost white, the nocte academy's was maroon- like it was blood red but faded over time and the spellcast academy was a bright blue but warn out so it looks like a faded blue.

I saw heaps of students outside- carrying books, talking to friends, eating lunch. I saw the uniforms from the other academy's. The vampires dressed similar to us but has a pop or red somewhere. The warlocks wore old fashioned clothes, some with sparkles. The werewolf's wore just jeans and plain shirts.

We pulled up to the school, I got out of the car. I could feel eyes on me from everywhere, I grabbed my suitcase and started making my way to the nephilim academy. As I was walking I could hear guys whistle and I could see girls giving me judgy stares. I made my way into the office. Luke told the office lady about me and got my schedule
"Ok," the office lady said "clary you can go and find your dorm and get set up, you can come down to class anytime of the day."
"Ok thanks" I said
"Oh!" She said clicking to a tall and slender girl with long dark brown hair who was walking by. "Isabelle can you be a dear and show clary to her dorm?"
"Yeah sure." Isabelle said, she turned to me, "hi I'm Isabelle Lightwood"
"Clary, clary fray."
"Nice to meet you, where is your dorm?"
I looked down at a paper the office lady gave me, "G,12"
"Oh my gosh! Your rooming with me!" She screamed, a couple of people turned to look at us but walked away.
Luke patted me on the arm "ok I'll be at the Lycanthrope academy office if you need me, bye"
"Bye"
Isabelle started showing me where to go, " Is that your father?"
"Step father"
"Oh ok, um can I see your schedule, I'm going to see if we have any classes together." I handed her my schedule
"Ooooooo!" She screamed
"What?"
"We have combat training, history and demonology together!" She squealed
We walked outside the school, she showed me around, I saw the outside if all the schools and saw the 'quad'(izzy called it), which is the area in the middle of the schools I was talking about before, I saw all of the people in groups together, some studying, others reading.

I was surprised that the vampires were out on the sun, but izzy told me there is a sort of shield over the school that stops the sun rays and the full moon rays that could come in. For obvious reasons- no dead vampires and no wolfs running around. I saw this one boy sitting alone reading, what looks like a book on pianos. He had golden hair and golden eyes a couple of shades darker than his hair. He was gorgeous, but he was alone- someone like that I would think would have a whole group around him.

We walked to the dorm block at the side of the school, I looked like the main building it was just a half of the size, and next to it there was a building exactly like it accept one had mostly boys walking on and one had mostly girls walking it. We walked up to the building closest to the main buildings, it had a large sign in the front of it with metallic gold writing saying 'GIRLS'. We pushed through the tall wooden doors, the place was quite bright from the witch stones, considering it has not a lot if windows and the place was black.
We walked down the hall and I saw the number 12 in small silver
Letters, I opened the door and walked in.

This room was so big, there where 2 queen sized beds, 2 sets of large, wooden draws, huge walk in closet that had equal things on each side. And the bathroom was huge, it was white and had a bath, shower, toilet, a huge mirror and 2 sinks. One of the sinks was occupied with skin creams and hair products. I walked over to the bed that had plain sheets and nothing in them. The walls had a black and white lace pattern and one wall was bright aqua.
"I guess you customised the room yourself?" I asked
"Yep I've already had the room for a year and a half- you get to keep the room for the whole of your time here so you can do whatever you want in here." Izzy said "oh and curfew is 10:30."
"Ok."
"I'm going to go to art now, I'll come back here in an hour- I'll let you get yourself set up than I'll show you around the school"
"Ok bye."

I opened my suitcase and started putting my clothes in the closet, one half was filled with izzys things. She had a lot of stuff. Most of my clothes where black because that's the schools dress code, but on the weekends we can wear whatever we want. One I was done that, I started to put up some pictures of my old life and some other things that I had kept like concert tickets. I was almost done putting up my collage on my pin board when I picked up a picture of simon, I missed him so much. I probably won't ever see him again- I put his picture right in the middle, I had so many photos of us when we where little, at concerts, hanging around. I finished that just as izzy walked in. That hour when past so quickly.
"Ok, the administration office forgot to give you this." Izzy gave me a necklace. "It's so that the staff and the students know your a shadowhunter, mainly on the weekend, everyone wears it, so the other schools don't get confused." She handed me a silver necklace with the angelic rune that is half the size of my palm (5cm).
I put it on "thanks"
She looked around the room "I like what you done to the place." She looked on my pin board "I've seen him before."
"Really? Where" I said, I couldn't believe she has seen simon before.
"Yeah, he goes to the nocte academy."
"What! He's a vampire! Last time I saw him he was just a regular
Person."
"Yeah I remember he came 2 or 3 weeks ago." She turned to face me "Ok now for the fun part, showing you the school and after we can hit the food court, it has everything! Oh wait I gotta give you something" she said running to the closet,She quickly emerged from the closet with some amour and a Seraph blade. She dropped the stuff in my arms "this is for you! It's for combat training everyone wears amour cause we usually get hurt. Bring it wear going to your locker on the way so you should put it in. Oh and it's name is Camael."
I grabbed a bag and put it in, I grabbed my combat boots and stuffed them in. I carefully put the Seraph blade in the front pocket. I slung my backpack on and I was ready for the tour.
