The Shadow's Dawn- Chapter 1
Full Summary:
Clary Fray is daughter of Valentine Morgenstern, the wicked and cruel father bent on making her life miserable. Ever since she was 5, he has abused and raped her. Clary's mother, Jocelyn, had gone missing when Clary was only 4 and a half. Her brother Jonathan, or Jon, had died in a car crash when she was 10. Clary is just about ready to give up, but then the mysterious Lightwoods show up at her school, and turn out to live right next door. Will Jace, Izzy, and Alec find out her secret? If so, will they help save the broken girl, or break her even more? I know, many stories are like this, but please give mine a try! All Human.
Clary woke up early, at 4AM. She had to get up this early so that she could cover last night's beating. With a heavy sigh, she got off of her bed and went towards the bathroom. Her room consisted of just a regular white bed, white carpet, dresser, and computer desk. She had art supplies neatly tucked away. Her walls had been painted by her mother before she was born, and the paint still hadn't chipped off.
Clary went to the bathroom, looking at the mirror. He hadn't been that bad last night, muttering about some new neighbors or something. Clary's hair was messy as always, an untammable mob of unruly fiery red hair, and her vibrant green eyes were dull and misty with sleep. She had a bruise of her left cheek, hand prints on her neck, and a cut above her right eyebrow. There were many more cuts and bruises, he almost never aimed at her face, afraid someone might see.
Clary jumped in the shower, washed herself, got dry, got dressed in black skinny jeans and a black hoodie, brushed her hair, and put on some concealer. Clary got on her black converse, throwing her bag over her shoulder and darted out of the house before Valentine could wake up. She jogged a bit down the street before noticing someone moved in next door last night. Just then three teenagers came out the house.
The first one she saw was a girl. She was tall, skinny, pale, with long straight jet-black hair and dark brown eyes- the perfect model. She even had the perfect curves. After her Clary saw a boy. He was tall, skinny, pale, with intense blue eyes and jet-black hair. They were obviously siblings.
But then came the golden boy. Literally. He was tall and muscly, with perfectly tanned skin, golden hair, and breathtaking golden eyes.
That were staring right at her.
Clary gulped as they came over. "Want a ride?" The girl offered, motioning to their jeep. Clary shook her head, "I'm fine, thanks." She muttered. Before they could reply, she was already jogging down the street towards school.
At school, she made it after her new neighbors, in time to see them get bombarded by Aline and her groupies. Rolling her eyes, Clary walked up to the school doors where she met up with Simon and Sky.
Simon was taller than she, was pale, with messwy brown hair, glasses, and brown eyes. Sky was tall, pale and slightly tanned, with wavvy white hair that shone silver in the sunlight and beautiful golden-orange eyes that reminded Clary of the sunset.
Simon was her longest friend, her best friend. Sky was the last new girl in school- she had the same past as Clary. Although, she had it much worse. To top it all off, she had killed her family only to be put into foster home after foster home until sticking with the Amberjade's. Here, Sky was the badass of the school. She could beat up anybody and not even break a sweat.
Linking arms with them, Clary, Simon, and Sky headed into the school, all three oblivious of the molten gold gaze that followed Clary's curly red hair into the school doors.
Okay! How was that so far? I know, short, but I wrote this in 15 minutes, so give me a break! Plus, this is more of a fill-in anyway, so it shouldn't matter.
I'll try to post longer chapters, and I will get at least one chapter in each week, ok?
Alright, well, please favorite, follow, and review!
But really, please review. I need to know how I can make this better.
And if I'm good at all right now.
Yours truly,
Sky Amberjade ~
