Chapter One

Clary

Getting settled.

When we finally arrived it wasn't like i thought it was going to be. It was kinda like an old Victorian mansion. The only thing really screaming "CRAZY LIVES HERE" are the automatic gates keeping us in. I got out of the car grabbed my bag and headed up the stairs. Half way up the stairs a tall linky girl with long black hair walked out she had the most amazing and flawless stride. Her Cupid's-bow red lips surrounded her small mouth with perfect alabaster teeth. Dimples were pressed under her high cheekbones. Her soft hands with long fingers terminated in painted, polished mauve nails. She stood at 5'7" and had a voluptuous figure that poured into a nice hourglass.

"Hey I'm Isabelle" she handed me her hand and I took it."Isabelle Lightwood"

"Hey" I shook her hand, "I'm Clary, Clary Fray." She opened the door and i followed her in.

"So what are you in for?" She took my bag and gestured for me to follow her.

"Im crazy." i laughed trying to keep up with her. My little legs could not keep up with her.

"Well duh." I heard her giggle "If you weren't crazy you wouldn't be in here."

"Well im not really sure why im here." I laughed and ran up to Isabelle. She was stopped.

"You can room with me I'm not that fun but I'm a good roommate." she swung open the door and placed my bag on one of the two beds. The room had two beds one on each side of the room. There was one closet on the left wall. The walls of the room were painted a pretty shade of purple almost a lavender. The rug looked like it could be cleaned but hey who was i to complain.

"Hey Clary I'm going to get some breakfast if you want you can come." Isabelle said as she turned to leave.

"That sounds great. Thanks." I followed her down the main stairs and into a long hall with at least 20 doors on the hall way had dim lights that made me shiver with a bad feeling. When we finally reached the end of the hall she opened two large marble doors to reveal a big dinning hall. With beautiful chandlers hanging from the ceiling, long tables filled with lots of food ranging from toast to bacon and eggs. I would never be able to tell this place was a home for the crazy.

I followed Isabelle to a table filled with a few other kids. There was a tall boy about 6'1" sitting at the corner of the table. He had beautiful blonde hair that fell in front of his face. The golden light shinning across his face made his pale skin look like it was shinning.

"Hey guys this is Clary." She gestured for me to say something.

"Hey" I gave a slight wave and crossed my arms. The tall boy who caught my attention got up and walked my way. He bent down on one knee gently took my hand away from my chest and gave it a slight kiss. His kiss made me jump back. His lips were so warm.

"Hello You are so stunningly beautiful" He stood up still having my hand in his."I'm Jace." His voice was smooth and calm. "Jace Wayland."

After breakfast i decided to go back to my room and unpack. I opened the closet door and looked inside. The closet seemed to be never ending. I grabbed some hangers out and started hanging up the clothes that were able to be on hangers. I stuck the rest of them in the top draw of the dresser that sat across from my bed.

"Hey Isabelle. Whats Jace's story?" I was still putting away my stuff but I turned to listen to her.

"Well no one really knows actually he hasn't told anyone hes kind of a keep to himself kind of person.." She put down her magazine and helped me put away my clothes."He's been here longer than most of us. I think hes killed a few people but thats just what the rumors tell me." She shrugged. I wanted to know everything about this mysterious person. Who was he? When did he get here? Why was here? Questions flooded my mind. "Hey Clary."I turned to face Isabelle.

"Yeah?"

"Do me a favor." Her voice cracked a little. "Be careful around here people aren't always what they seem."Okay Izzy" i shut the closet.

*knock Knock* "Is everyone dressed? Is it safe for me to come in?" Alec peeked his head in.

"Yeah come on in" Izzy got up and turned the light on. "Clary this is my brother Alec. Alec this is clary."

"Hey" I waved and went back to folding my clothes. He gave me a slight head nod.

"Are you going to see Magnus?" Izzy asked with a sharp tone in her voice.

"Yeah wanna come?" Alec leaned against the door frame impatient for an answer.

"Yeah" She put on her jacket and was getting ready to leave."Clary are you going to be okay by yourself?"

"Yeah ill be fine thanks" I smiled and waved good bye. Now that Izzy was gone i think I'm going to explore. I put on some bunny slippers to go along with my bubble gum pink shorts and my white lace tank top that was almost see threw. The hallway was dark and scary and smelt kind of funny. Every other step i took the floor boards creaked beneath my feet. I heard a noise behind me. I fell like i got the wind knocked out of was a shadow. Then two."Hey pretty thing. Where are you going?" They started walking towards me i kept taking small steps back trying to make it back to my room. Then he was in front of me. "Don't be shy now" he moved a loose piece of hair behind the back of my ear touching my face softly when he did this. "Don't you talk?" The other shadow started moving closer. Then they both were right in front of me. "Well how rude of me" the second boy said pushing the first boy aside "I'm Sebastian and this is Johnathan" Is this what Isabelle warned me about? How do i get out of this.I'm backed up against a wall with no way out. "You're so pretty" Sebastian Touched my face. He picked me up and wrapped my legs around his waist.I was struggling to get out but he was to strong. He threw me up against the wall and started to kiss my neck.

"GET OFF OF ME!" I tried to push him away but he held my hands above my head.

"We have a screamer on our hands Johnathan." Sebastian Laughed as he threw me over his shoulder.

"Shes going to be fun," Johnathan laughed, he followed Sebastian up the stairs.

"PUT ME DOWN!" I screamed and kicked and punched but nothing worked. Johnathan kicked open a door. Sebastian threw me onto the bed. He started to take my clothes off. He tore open my tank started to make his way to my shorts. I kept screaming but no one seemed to hear me. There was a bang and the door flew open. I couldn't see who it was, it was to dark. Sebastian flew off of me and i sat up as fast as i could. My hands still shaking in fear. I curled into a ball on the corner of the bed. Trying to cover my bare chest from the cold breeze. There was a bang and then screaming and then someone yelling awful things words i would never even think to begin to say to someone.

I woke up the next day in my bed but it didn't feel right. Izzy was sound asleep in her bed. She looked like she needed the sleep. I got out of bed and grabbed my robe and made my way to the bathroom that was across the hall. I opened the door that said "girls room." Well at least i know we don't share a bathroom with the guys. The bathroom wasn't as "nice" as the rest of the house it had four toilet stalls on the back wall, two sinks in the middle of the room, two stand up showers on the left wall,and three golden bathtubs on the right wall. I made my way to the first shower stall. I turned the water so it was hot. I dropped my rob and clothes on the floor and stepped into the shower. There was one bottle of conditioner that was almost empty. I took what was left and put it in my hair. It smelt like vanilla cookies. Yumm. I could go for some food.

I sat there watching Izzy eat her breakfast. She really was hungry. She handed me a piece of bacon."At least eat something you're starring at me like you're ready to take the food right out of my mouth."

I laughed and took the bacon. "well if you insist. Hey Izzy i think im going to go look around."

"Alright, have fun."she waved and moved up to wear Alec and im assuming was Magnus were sitting.

The halls were cold. I could see my breath. I arrived at the foot of the staircase. I stood and peered at the top, wondering when a twisted head person will crawl down the stairs and chase me down the hall. I started my journey up the stairs tripping constantly over my untied boots. I stopped at the first platform to tie my boot. I could feel someone standing behind me. I didn't want to turn around so i continued to lace up my combat boots.

"Wheres your little friend when you need him? Little slut." Sebastian covered my mouth from behind and lifted me from my crouching position and spun me around so i was facing him. He started lifting up my dress and pulling down my panties. "Im going to fuck you so hard." He unzipped his pants. I closed my eyes trying to pretend this wasnt going to happen, not again. I couldn't drown out his moans. Some one save me. I tried to get free but he was two strong. "Oh Clary I could get used to this." He finally let go of my mouth.

"AHHH!" I moved my hands to over his face and dug my thumbs into his eyes. He dropped me. I could see the blood begin to rush from his eyes. I tried to get up and run but i wasn't fast enough. He grabbed my arm and pulled me back.

"You Little whore." He smacked me across the face and i went flying. I got up and ran for my life and i kept running until i ran into someone. Johnathan standing there laughing at me. I was trapped. Sebastian started walking towards me wiping the blood drops from under his eye. He threw me over his shoulder kicked open the door and dropped me on the empty bed.

"Please stop." I could feel myself crying, "Please."

"This is just revenge sweat pea. Don't take it personal." He ripped my dress open and started to take my panties off. Johnathan was holding me down and covering my mouth there was no way i was getting out of this i was going to die. I closed my eyes and pretended nothing was happening. I felt a single tear come from my eye. This isn't how i wanted to die.
