Prologue
Clary POV
I always had a special connection with Jace. From the minute I was born, Jace was able to read my thoughts and I was able to read his thoughts, too. We never met each other, but we went through everything together. I had realized that I was one of the Nephilim and was able to experience that life. Jace learned how to be human and to face his inner demons. We were always there for each other. No matter what. We respected the other, advised them, became what they needed most at any time. Jace was a shadowhunter who went through the hardships of life. I was a shadowhunter, hidden from the shadow world. Jace and I went through all the hard times and the good times of our lives together.
Jace and I never told anyone about our connection. And even though it is wonderful, the connection is not normal. Jace and I don't even know if the other is actually real, not just some character made up in our minds. We always try to make sure no one thinks anyone is suspicious of us. We didn't want a bunch of downworlders, shadowhunters, demons, and humans experimenting on us, which is sure to happen if they ever found out, like we were two mental cases. Anyway, I am sure you are wondering by now what happened on how I am a shadowhunter living a human life.
Well when I was young, and I first saw a creature of the shadow world, my mother took me to see Magnus Bane, the High Warlock of Brooklyn, where he proceeded tp try to block my sight. The only reason Jace and I could think of why I was still able to see the shadow world is that because Jace and I share a brain, you could say. We are two halves of a whole. So, we figured Magnus Bane would have needed to put the spell on Jace to in order for it to work. However, Jace lived in Idris with his father when he was little but now he lives in the New York Institution with the Lightwoods'. Even though Jace was put through so much dramatic trauma when he was a kid, he has a hard exterior, which was filled with conceited comments and assiness, he does have a caring and loving heart. Jace was selfless, interesting, and so incredible.
And that was exactly the reason why I fell in love with him.
