CHAPTER 1
"Okay lets take it from the top, A One..A Two..A One...Two...Three," Clary says to her friends/ bandmates and begins to sing ….
"Here is my story, I got my type
Tattoos and skinny jeans, black boots and piercings
A public enemy
Not Cinderella, still got my shoes
I like the animal, the supernatural
Maybe I'm crazy but
If you were Dracula
Are you ready to take that bite?
Hot and hazardous
Like playing with dynamite
Yeah, I want Dracula
Forever be young and wild
Dark and dangerous
Yeah, I love, I love the tragically beautiful"
"Clary!" Dorothea Clary's adopted mom yells, disrupting the band practice causing a series of groans and that's when it struck Clary "Oh shit! Coming Dot! Practice is over we will meet tomorrow," Clary says hurriedly
"Clary the performance is in three days and we have to sing five songs and we practiced, how many again? That's right – None," Kyle the drummer and Jorden's brother says sarcastically
"I'm Sorry guys I promised Dot that I would watch the store for her today, We will meet tomorrow at noon, Bye" Clary packs her bag and runs to Dot.
O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
"Listen Clary! There is a special order someone will come to pick up, its for Amelia,"Dot says handing Clary a Red gift bag with a pendant that was custom made, it was rose gold and had 'AG' embossed on it.
"Sure, Go! I will manage everything here," Clary reassures Dot and hugs her
" I love you! Clary...I'll be late so don't wait up." Dot tells Clary and gets in the Cab. Clary watches as the cab leave and walks inside and sit behind the counter of the custom, jewelry store called 'Birthstones' which Clary's adopted Mom owned. The store was fairly small but was well known in New York for its remarkable designs and variety of Jewelry.
Clary started reading the book IT by Stephen King, she was so engrossed in the story that she didn't realize there was a customer standing in front of her until he cleared his throat and startled the poor girl. Clary looked up from the book and gasped at who she saw, the person looked so much like her dead father that she had to pinch herself to realize it was real. The boy in front was indeed who she thought he was, her brother Jonathan Morgernstern or rather Garroway now.
"uh-uh- sorry! M-May I help you?" Clary asks dumbfounded
"You know just because I'm famous doesn't mean I'm dangerous, cause your expression was like you just saw a ghost." Jonathan says smirking but something in his eyes showed recognition, Clary could only hope it were true , that he had recognized her.
"No I-I just...you look like someone I knew, someone really close to me," Clary answered and whispered the last part but Jonathan heard it nevertheless.
"Yeah! You know you look a lot like my Mom," Jonathan says
Clary flinched when Jonathan said 'mom'.
"Oh! So uh May I help you?" Clary said quickly changing the subject.
"Oh yeah! I'm here to pick a gift for Amelia- My younger sister." Johnathan Said and showed the receipt for the order.
"oh right! The special order," Clary says handing the bag to Jonathan, Clary's heart broke when Jonathan said younger sister, here he was collecting a present for his younger sister not recognizing his own twin.
"So, I know you must know all about me since I'm famous and all, I'm Jonathan Garroway but you can call me Jon, that's what my friends call me and the people I actually like," Jon says putting his hand forward for Clary to shake.
Clary smiled and said "I'm Clarissa Morgernstern, but you can call me Clary, Cause everybody does," except My Real Mother if she was not calling worthless or unloved, Clary thought harshly
"Clary? I don't know why but I always loved that name...I even had an imaginary friend..well sister named Clary, when I was young ,"Jon says causing Clary to smile.
"Wow! Imaginary sister..How long did that last?" Clary asked instead of yelling at Jon saying 'I am your so called 'imaginary sister' in fact I'm your twin sister.
"Till I was 5 years, I remember when she 'disappeared' I cried asking my mom here she was and mom was like "Honey! Clary was just in your mind, she was your imaginary friend and because you have become a big boy, she disappeared," I mean that was so realistic.. I thought she was real and cried for several months." Jon says "You know you kind of remind me of her," Jon continued
"Oh!...don't you have to be somewhere " Clary said
"Uh..yeah I do have to but I'd rather talk to you...Unless you want me to leave?" Jon replied
"No! I thought you would have had to go cause it's your sister's birthday today!" Clary said
"Yeah...but I don't know...I know its wrong for me to say this but I would rather spend time somewhere else than go to the party, Somehow I could never really connect with Amelia... even if she is my half- sister...wait How did you know it's her birthday today? ," Jon asks suspicious
Clary panicked for a second and simply answered " the gift," she said.
"Do you want to sit?" Clary asked again changing the subject. Jon smiles and nods but thought it was rather strange how clary always manages to changes the subject, to which he caught on to easily because this was the exact same reaction he got when he asked his mom where Clary was? When he was 5. He decided to get to know more about her.
Clary offers him a chair and returns behind the counter and sits.
"So, Do you have any siblings?" Jon asks Clary to which she replied " Yeah I do.. or did" at that she smiles "He was my twin brother," she says and smiles, looking at him, hoping he realized she was talking about him
"Oh...Cool! Who was elder?" he asked
"He was," she answered "but by only 5 minutes." she say and laughs. Clary found it really weird talking about Jon in third person.
"Do you work here often?" He asks hoping to visit again soon, it was weird, Jon thought at how easily he was able to connect to this short red head who reminded him of his mom and his ''Imaginary sister''.
"No! I just watch the store for my adopted mom," Clary answered easily but wondered where her filter was, why couldn't she just say mom... Oh god! She thought now this could lead to more questions and then possibly he would realize the truth...Would that be such a bad thing? She asked herself but before she could come up with an answer Jon says "Adopted Mom?," 'there it is' Clary thought to herself.
"Yeah! My Mother left my Dad and I when I was young and then after a few years my Dad passed away. After years of being in the system, Dot adopted me," she said blinking away the tears that threatened to fall down.
"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to pry," Jon says trying to calm Clary who looked like any second she would burst into tears.
"No, its fine... its just ...its been years since I spoke about my Dad," Clary says and puts on a fake smile.
"You don't have to answer this but what about you brother?...before you kept on saying 'was' instead of is and when you talked about you mom leaving you said Dad and I instead of saying my Dad, brother and I ," he asked
"You picked up on that?" Clary asked surprised
"Well?" Jon said hoping she would answer " Yeah... My mother left with my brother," Clary said unknowingly touching her locket that she always wore, there was a picture of Jon and her dad inside it and whenever she thought about them she would touch it.
"How old were you?" Jon questioned and Clary answered knowing he was trying to put the pieces together, She decided then that Jon had to know the truth " When I was 5 years old," Clary said and saw Jon's eyes grew wide, but before he could say anything else his phone rang, it was his best friend Jace and the lead singer in their band. Jon answered and was yelled at because he was not at the party and Jace was surrounded in pink balloons and 7 year-old running and screaming and Jon was nowhere to be found. Jon laughed at the panicked tone in Jace's voice, he said that he would be there in 15 minutes and hung up
"That was my friend...I've got to go, but we should meet up give me your mobile number ," Jon says
"Sure!" Clary tells him and gives her number.
"Bye Clary! I really look forward to meeting you again," Jon tells Clary and leaves
"Bye Jon! I missed you!" Clary responded albeit, Jon had already left.

Jace was surely going to kill Jon this time. He had agreed to come to Jon's sister Amelia's birthday party, if Jon was also present and here he was, with Jon nowhere to be found. It had been past 20 minutes since their phone call, So much for 'I will be there in 15 minutes' Jace thought to himself.
"Hey!" Jon said, alerting Jace of his presence. "Alas! Finally Jonathan Garroway has blessed us with his presence," Jace sarcastically said to which Jon rolled his eyes at the dramatics of his friend.
"Sorry! I went to collect Milly's gift," Jon said and walked toward his mother Jocelyn.
"Where were you?" Jocelyn asked her Son
"I went to collect the gift, Mom, like you asked me to do," Jon answered.
"but you left almost an hour and a half ago, I specifically told Dorothea to keep the gift ready, So what took so long?" She asked again.
"I was talking to a friend and lost track of time." Jon simply answered and was just about to leave when he asked " Mom? I know this is not the time but I really want to know, so please just tell me the truth okay? What is my father's...biological father's name?" Jocelyn froze " what? Honey why...where did this ...um..uh question come from? You know your father is Luke biological or not."
"Mom! Please I just...I really want to know who he is. I- I just..this question has always been there and I know you dont like to talk about him because he walked out on us but... I just..i just want to know okay?"
"Fine! His name was Valentine," jocelyn replied
"Valentine what," Jon asked " Mom! I want the full name," Jon tells Jocelyn
""I gave you his first name ...that's all you need to know," Jocelyn replies rudely and walks away. Jon looks at his mother thinking about her reaction, he knew what to do in order to get the answers he was looking for. There was no way that there was no connection between Clary's family and his. She reminded of his mom although a really young version, the weird reactions of his mom and Clary's.
'Looks like I know what I'm going to do tomorrow' Jon thought to himself.
O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
Clary sat behind the counter and thought about the day when lost her brother and bestfriend...
FLASHBACK
"Daddy?" Clary asked her father " What clare-bear?" her father replied while driving back home from grocery store. " Can Johnny and I watch air buddies? Please please please" clary pleaded and made a puppy dog face to add effect to try and convince her father, to which he simply laughed and nodded his head saying yes.
Valentine smiled thinking how adorable both his children were, he could never say no to his children especially Clary.
Valentine parked the car in the garrage and took the shopping bags, clary holding a small bag walking behind him. Valentine rang the doorbell but no one answered he rang the doorbell again but no on answered again, Valentine put the grocery bags on the ground and took the spare key under the flowerpot and opened the door calling out to Jocelyn and Jon but no answer came. Valentine rushed kept the grocery bags on the kitche counter and walked to his room to see an empty room an saw that jocelyns side of the closet was empty. "DADDY!" Clary yelled, Valentine ran and saw Clary in her and Jons bedroom to see Jon's side of the closet empty too. "Daddy where's mommy and Jon?" Clary asked her father. " I don't know honey, maybe they went for a walk. Why don't you go put the movie on while I call your mommy okay!" Clary smiled nd ran to the TV room to put the disk in the dvd player while valentine called Jocelyn's cell phone but it was switched-off. Valentine searched his room to see if there was any clue as to where Jocelyn and Jon was. He searched her closet and saw an envelope, when he opened it his heart sank..it was Divorce papers and a letter stating that Jocelyn as unhappy with him and was taking Jon. If he tried to take custody of him she would take custody of both the kids.
END OF FLASHBACK
Clary remembered how she went to her father's room and saw hin cry. It was heart-breaking but what ever happened she loved her father more than anything in the world.
"DING" Clary's phone alerted her that she received a message. She opened it and saw it was a message from Jon asking her if she wanted to hang out tomorrow, to which she replied that she was jampacked till friday so they decided to meet up on saturday for lunch. Clary knew that Jon was going to ask her questions about their father and to which she would answer. She was done with the threats her mother sent her and done with hiding the truth from her twin.
O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
"Yo! dude what was that about?" Jace asks his friend as he looks deep in thought "Huh? Oh..uh yeah...it was nothing," Jon tells Jace but Jace looks at him giving 'really! Cause you are not fine look, don't lie to me' look "urg! Fine, I met this girl today whe I went to pick milly's gift and.."
"Was she hot?" Jace interupts him
"what? no.. I mean yes... I mean...urg just listen if you want to know what's wrong.' Jon burst out and Jace replies saying "Yesh..looks like someone's on their period, anyways continue," Jon rolls his eyes and tells Jace " that girl reminded me of my Mom and my Imaginery friend which I told you about remember?" Jon asks Jace wanted to laugh but looking at Jon's serious face he composed himself and replied " yeah, Clary...uh yeah I do,"
"That girl's name was Clary too annd she had a twin brother, she lives with her adopted mother because her father passed away and her mom walked out on her father and her when she was five with her twin brother, exactly the same time my so called 'imaginery friend' dissappered and when I asked when I asked mom about mmy biological father's name she looked almost panicked and refused to tell me his name...well at least the surname." Jace processed the information and found it kinda weird but it could all be coincedences right? " uh...that's relly weird, do you have her mobile number or something? Ask her to meet you tomorrow and we will get the answers from her." Jace told him and he nodded his head and messaged Clary if they could meet up tomorrow but she replied telling him she was jam packed till friday to which the decided to meet-up for lunch on saturday.
O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
Clary decided to close the store since there was no customers, when her phone rang to an Unknown number
"Hello?" Clary answered
"Hello! Is this Clary Fray?" a female voice asked
"Uh- yeahb this is she, May I know who this is?" Clary replied
"Oh sorry dear! My name is Celine Herondale, I wanted to talk to you about you performing for a function on 2nd of november, you see it is my husband and my 20th anniversary and we heard about your band called the mortal instruments, a lot of people have suggested your band," Celine said
"sure! Could we meet tomorrow at around 4:00 pm tomorrow?" Clary asked
"Yes sure! Thank you so much," Celine replied
"Anytime Mrs. Herondale, see you tomorrow, bye!"
"Bye dear!" celine replied and hung-up.
Clary sighed tomorrow is going to be one really hectic day, her band has to practice 5 songs for the halloween party and if they are good enough the could get a record deal and now they have to perforn for an anniversary party, she could not turn it down because they had to keep a good name and slowly get popular not that they weren't but still. Clary closed the shop and went home after the really emotional day she had.
O0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o
"So Clary said we could meet-up on saturday for lunch, so do you want to come too?" Jon asked Jace, Jace could make out that Jon was really nervous about this meeting "Dude! I would have come whether you'd like it or not, plus I want to see this Clary," Jace replied putting a cocky grin at the last part.
"Oh and Friday we are going to a Halloween party so dress scary" Jace said walking toward the kitchen to get cake, Jon looked around and spotted his mother talking to Maryse and laughing, Jo stared at her thinking about why? Or what caused his mother to snap at him for asking a simple question. On saturday he would finally or hopefully get the answers he was looking for.
