Prologue

It started of as the best year but it went bad. Real bad. How does it ends? I am not even sure about that. I can't tell the future but I can bring you up to scratch to the part were I am strapped down to a hospital bed with iv drips injected into my wrists.

Hi. My name is Clarissa Adele Fairchild... Kidding... Well sort of. We will get to my alternative life after I explain whom I pretend to be. I am Clarissa Adele Morgenstern. I am a 5ft redheaded, the wig is more orange, with a fiery attitude to match my hair (when I am not pretending to be an awkward nobody). I have emerald green eyes which I hide behind a pair of glasses I really don't need to help with the act of being a awkward friendless nobody. I attend a boarding school on the east coast of Albany, New York. My family is well off, not exactly rich but well off enough to give me the best private eduction they can get, The Institute. Where you go to get the best academic, sports and talent eructation possible, starting with the first grade right through twelve grade. I have attended since the fifth grade.

I don't really need to be here. See I am not a nobody, I am perfect in every sense of the word. No not bring cocky. It's just a fact. The Institute is a cover, I am a special agent. Not your average agent thou. I am practically a genius having graduated high school by the age of eleven and multiple college degrees and counting at my current age of seventeen. I also know how to read, write and speak many languages fluently. The main ones everyone wants to know and at least one from every country. I am in peak physical condition, super flexible and able to do many gymnastic and yoga feats combined with Judo, Kickboxing, Karate, Aikido, Taekwondo, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Traditional Boxing, Wrestling, Krav Maga, Muay Thai or my highly extensive weapons training. Lets just say I am unstoppable, undefeated and totally amazing. I rank above the best adults in the all the agencys. I am just as talented with musical instruments, many forms of dance and in art. Art is my favourite, it also the one thing I let be part of my cover. My hair is actually curly and a beautiful red colour. I am beautiful even thou I am covered with freckle's.

So back to why the Institute. Simple, it's a base for people like me. More like a safe house/ haven for the kids of the people like me. It's a school after all. Of course the kids don't know about their parents or the secret base beneath the school. No my parents aren't spys, I am. I turns out it skipped a generation. Therefore most of my families wealth is hidden until I turn of age and can make use of the safe houses and millions of dollars in different countries all over the world. It's kinda funny how my moms' and dads' side of the family come from a long line of spys the best the world ever had along with the Herondales, and Lightwoods but it only ever skipped them in the history of spys. It skipped them while they both end up together, I guess they don't have the genuis or skills so they were simply not given the choice that all the kids get when their skill is evident, to join. Anyway I hit the jackpot being all awesome and what not. So I make use of the spy facilities on a sly, cant let all the other kids know. I pretend to be a student mainly to up hold a cover and have a normal life as well as to make my parents think I am normal.

And to help with the pretence I wear baggy clothes and an orange frizzy wig. And glasses, highly technological advanced glasses. Can't sit in classrooms listening to what I already know. The glasses are controlled by my "books" they are actually a keyboard and touch pad with a stylus as a pencil. People think I just draw all the time. So the screens displays anything and everything that the internet and spy computers have access to, I designed this by the way. I am exempted from test, exam and homework cause I already did this stuff, hell I could teach the whole school everything a hundred times better than any of the professors here, including the retired agents. Its required of me to sit in the classes, it helps when I claim to come from the school. My parents get an average fake report card and I get a high school experience. It also helps with the cover I am building, I am aiming to become a world renown artist, it will help with the spy stuff and verse visa. As I said I am perfect in everything, same goes for art. I let my perfect art be part of my cover, the only thing that make a nobody the art freak. I am skilled in everything art, sculping ,sketching ,painting, carvings etc...

So I basically show up for classes and outside of them do what I want when I want. Including leaving the Institute for pleasure, leisure or missions. You got that? So back to the story of my life...
