Clary POV
I go to your school, and I'm in all your classes. No, you don't know me. If you did, you would think I was a freak. You can't see my best friend, either. That is because we are cursed. When Valentine was killed, he called upon the dark angel to force us to live eternally. For those of you seeking immortality, let me tell you that it is not worth dirt. The only way we are able to stand it is the power that is given to us. When Jace tried to attack the angel, he commented that Jace was rather like a wolf, being sneaky. In exchange for trying to kill him, the angel "blessed" Jace with the power, grace, and looks of a wolf. Hes been turned into a wolf, a great golden beast with piercing golden eyes. If you see me, I am instantly recognizable. I have fiery red hair and green eyes.
Anyways, you won't see Jace. After living a few dozen years living hiding, we decided to ask Magnus to make him invisible to mortals. Magnus felt sorry for us, but he couldn't reverse the powerful spell placed upon us by the angel. He said it was the least he could do, so now Jace has become invisible to all but Magnus and I. He can still see them, and they can still hear him. Luckily, he was always able to move silently. We can't age, so we are stuck in the eight grade. Sure, we usually start in sixth or seventh grade, and move up to about Junior year, but then we have to move. Since we don't look old enough to get a job, we mostly rely on Magnus. We live with him, because he can't age, just like us. Since all our friends died, and the kingdoms collapsed, and the plague swept through England, we moved to America. Now we are living in Southern California, adapting to the times with Magnus. Its kind of a weird, twisted little family. He earns money by reading the future, and investing in the stock market. He also uses his powers to offer intelligence for the Government, so we actually are pretty rich. We have a big house, a huge backyard, an indoor pool, fitness center, stables (of course) and a racetrack. Since Magnus can read the future, we also go to the racetracks a lot. He places enormous bets on the winning horse, no matter what the stats. They don't matter, because he knows who will win.
Most of the horses in our stable are the descendants of Sundance, Justin, and Moonblink. There are only three that aren't. The reason? At least the Angel had some heart, and made the three horses immortal as well. They were just as they were then, happy as ever because we take them galloping every day. They never get spooked, because they have seen anything and everything. It also helps that Jace can talk to them. It freaked them out at first, but Jace convinced them that he was the same person he always was. Luckily, I can understand Jace and the horses (thanks to Magnus.) Jace can understand me, because he still has the brain of a human. The horses understand most of what I say, but that didn't come until a few dozen years ago.
I only go to school because the money makes some eyes turn to us. If I don't seem somewhat normal, people begin to ask questions. When you are hundreds of years old, some of these questions start to get a little bit uncomfortable. Everything is a piece of cake, having been through all the same material at least 30 times. None of the teachers pay much attention to me, and Magnus put a charm on my bag that does my homework automatically. Since Magnus is much older than us, he basically taught us everything we would learn in college.
I walked down the pathway, and entered through the school gates. Jace trotted at my side, ears perked and nose twitching. We walked past Nick and he growled quietly. I gagged as we were overwhelmed by the stench of the nerd's body odor, but we quickly passed through the cloud of nauseous gas. Jace sneezed and coughed a few times to clear his sensitive nose. I laughed silently, touching two fingers to the scruff of his neck to quiet him.
The bell rang and we walked into class. I sat in my usual spot at the back of the room and Jace lay down beside me. Magnus didn't do anything to make people ignore me, but I didn't draw much attention to myself. Some kid named Lauren took the seat next to me, and a guy named Ryan sat on the other side, in front of Jace. He threw me a glance and smirked. Jace growled and I laughed. The poor kid looked behind him only to see nothing. I smirked at him now, having the upper hand. Jace and I just found it hilarious to mess with the mortals sometimes. I was done with school for today.
"Hey Clary," He said cautiously.
"Hey," I sighed, "OUCH!" I suddenly shouted, picking my feet off the floor and setting them on my chair, knees to my chest. "Something just bit me!" I exclaimed, looking around with false worry. I saw Ryan, Lauren and the other kids look around, fear in their eyes. I saw Jace slink around the room, careful not to brush up against anyone.
"Oh please. Nothing bit..." I saw Jace open his jaws, ready to clamp down on the brat's pants, "OW! It got me too!" a kid named Andrew exclaimed. Sure enough, a neat row of punctures in the tough jean material. The teacher began to scream, leading to a full scale evacuation of the school. I laughed, picking up my bag and slipping under the fence. I lept down the retaining wall, whistling for Sundance. We let them out to graze wherever they wanted, as Magnus put a spell like the one he put on Jace. Only certain mortals could see the horses, unless they were being ridden. The horses stayed close, being as smart as they were. Sundance came galloping up behind me. I waited until she got closer, and then began sprinting. She slowed down once she came alongside me, allowing me to grab her mane and swing onto her bareback.
"Lets go home, Jace!" I called to the wolf, watching as he let his stride lengthen. Sundance followed him, and we set off up the hill to our grand house.
