The Angel's Curse

by Mother-of-Introverts

Skylar is a special girl, and not just because she's a Shadowhunter. She's been blessed two times by the Angel Ithuriel. Once when he was trapped in a clockwork angel and the second time when his blood was taken unwillingly and put into her unborn great grandparents, Jace and Clarissa. As she fights demons alongside her Parabatai she sees it as a curse.

Prologue

Skylar felt the familiar pain of a stele on skin as her best friend Caitlen marked her. But this was no ordinary mark this was her Parabatai mark. This vow connected them to each other in a bond that was more than brothers or in their case sisters. The room was cold but that was expected. They were underground in the Silent Brother's City otherwise known as The City of Bones. Unlike the outside world the city did not change with the time. There was no modernization; even in their means of transport the Silent Brothers still used a carriage. The City had a beauty unto itself but one would never want to be trapped here at night as this is where the dead are buried. The Silent Brothers that were with them helped them complete the ritual and then she felt it, the connection she had to Caitlen and she couldn't imagine living without that between them. She knew she would always need Caitlen as Caitlen would need her.
