CHAPTER ONE: THE DREAM

Eleven Years ago

"Mommy, I want ice cream," a soft voice sang.

Jocelyn looked down with a smile to hide her nervousness that had come upon her to two pairs of green emerald eyes looking back at her. "Lead the way to the ice cream girls."

Clarissa who had red hair and freckles, look at her identical twin with a gapped smile plastered across her freckled face. "Race you sissy," she yelled excitedly. Lilyana looked back to her mom, who nodded in approval. When the ice cream truck came into view, Jocelyn saw past the glamour. She gasped in horror. A man in his late 20's early 30's with very pale blonde hair was in a white van looking around searching for something, or someone. Jocelyn looked away calling the girls back before they got too close to the van. "GIRLS! CLARISSA. LILYANA, STOP!" Clarissa stopped and looked back their mom who was running to catch up with a questionable expression written across her face. Lilyana didn't hear her mom yelling so she kept running.

Lilyana finally heard her mom yelling at her but she was too late. One minute she was looking at her mom with Clarissa who started to cry then the next she was inside a car not knowing what was happening, and who she was with.

Present day

I have been having the same dream for the past 5 hours since the Clave had found me, I have been trying to sleep but sleep was ripped away from me by the dream that refuses to leave. I look over at the clock on the night stand. Great, its only 1am. In six hours I have to be in front of the council. I rolled over on the mattress that rested on the floor of the cellar under the City of bones. The Silent brother's let me keep the cellar door open so that I don't feel like a prisoner. I pull the wool blanket up to my chin. It was chilly down here, chillier then it was at my home with father, Jonathan and Katherine. When I lived with them I felt like half of me was missing, like another half of me is out there somewhere. I always wondered who my mom was, is she dead, if she was alive, and if I had other siblings alive.

I was lost in thought until I heard a voice in my head. Here is some clothing you can wear. It was Brother Jeremiah. I nodded while grabbing the clothing. After he left giving me some privacy, I started to strip off my filthy clothes and put on shadowhunter gear. May I come in?

"Yes, Brother Jeremiah," I echoed. He came around the wall and stood patiently. "I just have to tie my shoes then I'm ready." Brother Jeremiah nodded his head while looking at me as if he had pity for me. I got up from the floor and brushed off the dust.

Ready, young one? I nodded and followed Brother Jeremiah to the rest of the counsel. We walked into a large room. I was standing in the middle of the room, standing on the clairvoyant rune. Around the room were the Silent brothers under arches with angel wings behind them and a sword in front of them. State your name, age, and race. Brother Jeremiah said.

"Lilyana Jade Morgenstern, fourteen, Shadowhunter," I stated softly.

Before we make our decision, we would like to hear your story Ms Morgenstern. I nodded my head, "I don't remember anything from under six."

Just tell us what you remember, Brother Jeremiah echoed.

I took a deep breathe, "I was six when..."
