Chapter 1: How It Began
Clary POV:
Betrayal,anger,sadness,regret. Those were the emotions coursing through me when I saw them. You couldn't tell where he began or where she ended. It was less than a week ago that I was in her position, thinking that I was the only one he would ever touch with such passion. But now I knew that I was never special to him. Now I knew that he never really loved me. 'Who?' you may ask is the cause of such pain. Jase Wayland/Lightwood/Heronlade/ what ever you want to call him, my former boyfriend, all around lady's man, your normal everyday "perfect" person. I thought he loved me but I guess everyone was right to warn me,'He'll break your heart' they said. I should have listened.
When it all hit me I couldn't stop myself from letting out a sob, announcing my presence. "CLARY?!!" Jace shouted.
"HOW COULD YOU?!!" I shouted my anger fueling me.
"Wait I can explain! She didn't mean anything I promise! I love you!" He shouted separating from the blonde.
I couldn't take it anymore. I ran towards my room as he chased after me. I locked my door with a rune knowing it wouldn't buy me much time. I packed everything except my phone and drew a rune so that no one could track me. The next thing I know Jace is bursting through my door proclaiming his love for me begging me not to leave. I quickly ran to my bathroom, locked the door , drew a portal rune and jumped through not knowing what awaited me on the other side.
Line Break
I landed in an abandoned alley somewhere in Las Vegas. After I cried for two hours straight and wiped my face of tears I got up and started looking for the closest Institute. As soon as I rounded the corner I ran into someone and fell landing flat on my back."Oh! Sorry I didn't see you there!" Said a boy with messy Jet black hair and sea green eyes that I could look at all day. I immediately knew he was a shadow hunter do to his runes.
" I'm Adrian," he said offering me his hand.
"Clarissa but you can call me Clary," I said as he pulled me up.
"Clarissa as in Clarissa Morgenstern??!!!" He exclaimed while handing me my duffle bag that he had retrieved off the concrete sidewalk.
"The one and only. Look could you please direct me to your institute? I'm looking for somewhere to stay."
"Of course, follow me!" He said heading right.
Line Break
When we got there Adrian said that he needed to go get Jasey, the one in charge of the institute, and to stay put. While I was waiting I noticed how similar it was here to the institute in NY. Then I started thinking of everyone I'd left behind Izzy, Simon, Alec, Magnus, Luke, my mom, and him Jace. Just because he broke my heart doesn't mean I can just turn off my feelings for him.
Before I know it I feel the tears pouring down my face."Clary are you okay?!" worries Adrian. I quickly dropped my bag and turned my back to him and a woman that seems to be in her mid 30's with bright blue eyes and long black hair that came to mid thigh.
"Yeah I'm fine," I said while ridding my face of tears still not facing them. When my face was clear I turned to face them.
"No, Clary your obviously not. You were jus-
"Let her be, this is none of our business," the woman cuts him off.
"I'm sorry, Clary I'm just worried about you," Adrian apologizes.
"It's ok I understand," I reply.
"I'm Jasey, nice to meet you," the lady introduces herself, offering me her hand to shake.
"Clary, the pleasure is mine," I reply accepting her hand.
"Adrian, would you please show Clary around, get her bag up to her room, and introduce her to the rest of the family?" Asks Jasey.
"Sure," he agrees.
