I Need a Hero
Summary: Clary was a shadowhunter. She lived with her father, Valentine, in Idris. Her father never liked her, but he kept her around because she was special. Just because she was special didn't men she had to treat her well. She was beaten and abused. Clary finally gathered the courage and ran away. She goes on her search for her hero. Will she ever find him? This is my first fanfic so it might not be good, but it is defiantly better than the summary.
Chapter One:
I felt a sharp pain flow through me as my brother, Sabastian, cut me on the side of my arm with his blade causing a deep gash. I screamed out in pain as I fell to the floor. I looked at him. I mean I really looked at him and saw that he was wearing his shadowhunter gear along with combat boots. His face was pale and he had bags under his eyes from lack of sleep. Sabastian's hair was a mess and it looked like he didn't even comb it this morning. Lastly, I looked into his eyes and saw that he was enjoying this. He attempted to pin me, but I wasn't going to let him win that easily. I rolled to the side and flung my blade towards his leg creating a deep wound. It was his turn to cry out in pain. I used this as a distraction and pinned him to the floor with my blade at his throat. I simply said "I win" and walked away.
I heard Sabastian yell after me "Dad is going to get you for that!" I visibly stiffened but continued walking. I knew he as right. Ever since my mom died due to an unfortunate demon attack, or so my dad says, he blamed me for her death. He said it was my fault. I never understood how, but I guess it as just an excuse for him to beat me. Every little thing I do he seems to find something wrong about it and uses it as an excuse to beat me.
When I walked into my room I jumped on my bed and stared at the ceiling. I don't know how long I stayed like that, but it only seemed like a couple minute. Then I heard my door fling open and immediately I knew who as standing there. Sure enough, I turn my face towards the door and standing there was my father, Valentine. His hair was light blond almost white, and it was combed nicely to the side. He wore a black button up shirt with black slacks and black dress shoes. He had this smirk on his face and right then and there I knew what was coming next.
He pulled me up by the hair and slammed my head into the wall. I knew better than to say or do anything because it would just make things worse than they already were. He kneed me in the stomach and soon after I tasted something coppery in my mouth. I instantly knew it was blood. I fell to the floor and he began to repeatedly kicked me in the stomach. I felt one of my ribs crack. Once he stepped on my leg I felt it crack and I knew I wouldn't walk properly tomorrow even with an irateze. He then laughed and walked out of my room leaving me on my floor bleeding and broken.
I used the rest of my strength that I had left and walked to my night stand and pulled out my stele and drew an irateze on my injuries. Then I laid in bed and let sleep take over.
I woke with a start, gasping for air. Trying to find my way back to the present and forgetting the past. I pulled out my iPod and played the first song that came on. The song was Holding Out for a Hero by Ella Me Bowen. I listened to the song letting myself calm down from my nightmare.
Once the song ended I decided that if my 'hero' wasn't going to come looking for me, I would go find him. I packed my bag and grabbed a couple daggers, blades, throwing knives, and my bow and arrow. I then put on my shadowhunter gear stashing the rest of my weapons in my gear.
I drew myself a portal and took one last look at my room. The walls were plan white with the occasional red of my bloody hand bed was in the corner of the room and the dresser was beside the door. On the other side of the room was my plain black desk. Next to it as my closet, which contained a mix between mundane and shadowhunter clothes. I took one last look around and then I faced the portal and let it take me wherever it pleased.
So that was chapter one I hope you liked it. I know it probably wasn't one of the best but it was my first fanfic. I hope to update within 2-7 days but I started school and I don't know what my work load will be so…. until next time!
