*To my old readers: I wanted to let you know I edited a few things on here to fit the story better. I added something about what Valentine taught them and at what age. I just said Demonolgy came shortly after they started there basic studies. I also added another line for Adele at the end. The major thing I changed was I added horses. I was gong to change the staying at the academy situation, but instead I left them there. I will benefit the story later. Thank you all for being patient with me! I love you all!

To all my new readers: Welcome!*

*Valentine's father never died, the circle never went anywhere. When they graduated they stayed friends but the circle was nonexistent. The Lightwoods live in Idris. Michael Wayland and his son run one of the institutes somewhere in the world and the Whitelaws run the New York institute. Stephen Herondale married Celine Montclaire and had Jace Herondale. He latter divorced her because they both found that they did not love each other fully and he married Amatis. As far as Luke, he is Valentine's parabatai, and he is still in love with Jocelyn, but he won't come in until later.*

*Clary is Seraphina because that is what Valentine would have had her named, and Adele is named after Jocelyn's mother. Adele is somewhat based off of Clary's dream sister*

Jonathan Morgenstern smiled down at his sister. There were tears in his bright green eyes from laughing so hard. Just looking into her matching, green eyes made him laugh even more. They were discussing their relentless sister.

"I'm serious Jonathan, Adele will march all the way to the academy in the middle of the night just to come and get me!" Seraphina Morgenstern laughed slightly before continuing. "You do remember how mad she was when you left for school,"

Jonathan did; Adele had done everything she could to stop it. She had unpacked his suitcases and put all of its contents all over the Morgenstern manor. He had less than a day to find everything. Then on top of it all she never dropped the subject. She was always complaining about how it would be so much easier if he would just stay. Now that Seraphina was fourteen she could go with her brother to the shadowhunter academy, but Adele still was too young. She was even more unhappy than she had been last year when only her brother was leaving. She saw it to be completely unfair.

Their father, Valentine Morgenstern had started their training when they were ten. He was a little tough but because of that both Jonathan and Seraphina were excellent fighters.

Adele hadn't started her training yet; she was still nine. She would be ten in two months and Adele always made sure everyone remember. She knew that once she turned ten she would get her first rune, and start her training which was one step closer to going to the academy for the year. She was sick of being left behind.

"I'm going to say this one more time," Adele Morgenstern marched into the training room were her siblings sat. She was very serious and a little frustrated. She probably had been talking to mom. Their father was sick of hearing it and she knew it was a lost cause with him. Jonathan and Seraphina started to laugh, and Adele continued on. "You guys don't have to go; dad's a great teacher and you guys are already great,"

"Del, you only have four years and two months left. Trust me; it will fly by and before you know it you will be able to attend school there," Jonathan reached out to pat his younger sisters strawberry, blonde hair. Which was so different from his pale hair that matched Valentines. Even Seraphina and their mother had red hair. She did have the trademark green eyes that all the siblings had though. Their mother had given them all bright green eyes, but only Adele has her sharp features. Clary was the only one with freckles since Adele's faded when she was still a toddler. Jonathan got the same build as their father, along with the hair color.

"You don't want to go though, do you Ser," she really hated being left at home while her sibling got to go to the big academy to practice for demon hunting. Actual demon hunting. They all had started there tutoring in basic subjects when they were five, and then demonology a little bit later. There training started when there were ten, but Adele liked action. She was also stubborn just like Seraphina was, and it was probably from their mother's constant fretting about being careful.

Del, this is were all shadowhunters go when they turn fourteen, your going to be fine," Seraphina tried to be reassuring. "Remember two months-"

"-Till' I'll be ten and then I'm almost there," Adele finished with a sigh.

"That's right," Seraphina replied.

She turn and left the room leaving the older siblings to laugh. When Jonathan laughed his face light up. There was no harshness in his features, and his eyes were like lights. He cared about his sisters so much. Going without either of them last year had been hard and he constantly worried about them. For Seraphina to be coming with him was what made him feel a little easier that he was leaving again. They were always writing, but when he got to see them the ache in his heart faded.

"Do you guys have everything," Jocelyn Morgenstern asked for the three hundereth time.

"Yes, we made sure," Seraphina gave her mom a huge hug.

Jonathan shook their father's hand and talked with him about something having to do with looking out for Seraphina.

"I love you so much," Jocelyn kept saying. Adele was furious and was currently sitting on the grass. Her arms were crossed over her chest and her face hid nothing. It was red and she was glaring pointedly over at the trees across the yard.

"Dely, Dely, Dely, oh filled with jelly," Jonathan begain to sing. Adele turned so her back was to him with a grunt. "You do know what happens when someone is filled with jelly right?" He asked with a laugh.

Adele was trying so hard to keep her small, final attempt at defiance.

Jocelyn, and Valentine looked on with a smile. Seraphina could barley contain herself from laughing; they all knew what was going to happen, because Jonathan had been doing this since Adele was little. When ever she was upset or angry he would tease her with the same rhyme.

"I'm going to have to have to eat you," He said matter of factly. He reached down and swung her up into his strong arms, and licked her right across the face.

"Ew, Jonathan that was gross," but her anger was almost gone. Adele could not help but giggle.

"I have to get that jelly, hold still," he bent down to lick her face again, and Adele giggled with delight.

"Jonathan, don't please," she could barley talk through giggles. "I'm not made of jelly,"

"Your not!" Jonathan said in mock supprise. "I was almost sure; your face was so red!"

He set her down gently and placed a kiss on top of her head.

"Behave yourself and study hard. I want progress reports. Man the fort for me ok?" he said with a smile.

"Ok," Adele's anger was gone, but her eyes were sad and she was frowning.

"I love you Del," Seraphina bent down to kiss her on the head and all three of them huged.

"I love you too," she replied.

Jonathan turn to their mother and gave her a hug.

"Be careful ok," she said one more time.

"We will," Jonathan replied as he squeezed tighter.

Seraphina had turned to their father and gave him a hug.

"I love you dad," she whispered into his shoulder.

"I love you too, my girl, work hard," He whispered back.

I will," she said

When they were all finished saying goodbye Jonathan and Seraphina mounted their horses, and headed for the academy. They lived outside of the only city Idris had; Alicante. Riding though would not take to long.

"Ready?" Jonathan asked.

"Yep," was all Seraphina said, but the nerves were eating at her. She didn't know if she would fit in.
