Hi! So this is my new story. I'm very new to this so please don't judge to harshly! I hope you all like it!

Idris was always…. how can I put it, conflicted I suppose. There are three different kingdoms. The Lightwood kingdom is the one that I live. The king and queen have always been very gracious with the people. They are never unnecessarily cruel. The Garroway kingdom is a very interesting kingdom. Most of the people that live there are either werewolves, fairies, or warlocks. In fact the king himself is a werewolf. Then there is the Morgenstern kingdom. It is populated by demons and every so often you will see a human living there. Their king, Valentine Morgenstern, is human but he experimented on himself by injecting demon blood into his system. That gave him the power to control demons which is why he is the most feared person in all of Idris. The Lightwoods have a treaty with him so he will not attack this kingdom, but the Garroway kingdom is constantly at war with the demons.

The Lightwoods have three children, Isabelle (who is my age), Alec (who is two years older than me), and Max (who is nine years old). They are not seen much in town so I don't know them, but from what I hear they are very goods friends with Valentine's son, Jace.

Let me tell you a bit albeit about myself. My name is Clarissa Fray, but I prefer to be called Clary. I am 5' 2" an have long, curly, flaming red hair. People say my eyes are the color of emeralds but I think they are more of a dull evergreen. I'm fifteen turning sixteen in 2 days. I am currently attending the only school in the Lightwood kingdom. I am probably the only person in my entire grade to never have had a boyfriend and I don't plan to either. All of the guys at my school are either jerks, not good looking, or they bully me. So that leaves my options down to a minimum. I currently live in a small, I guess you could call it an apartment, alone. My mother died a year ago to an outbreak of pneumonia. I work at a small restaurant called Taki's. I don't make much, only enough for rent and food. Thats enough about me lets get on with the story.

I woke up to the annoying sound of my alarm clock. I let it ring for about 5 more minutes until I couldn't stand it anymore. I threw it against the wall and got out of bed. I ran over to my closet in search of something to wear for school, even though I know I shouldn't care about what I look like, I do. I grab a pair of black skinny jeans, a green tank top, and a gamer crop top to through over the tank. I get dressed and slowly walk to my bathroom. I brush my teeth and after a couple of minutes trying to ams my curls I give up. I'm not one for makeup so I only put on mascara. I amble down the hall to my kitchen and grab a piece of bread to put in the toaster. While it toasts I gather my things for school and put on my converse. I grab my piece of toast and look at the clock. 6:50! Shit, I can't be late again! I run out of my apartment and don't stop until I reach the school. Of course as soon as I walk in the bell goes off signaling I'm late. Well shit, Mrs. Beal is going to kill me, literally. I rush to class and I walk through the door. Everybody immediately looks at me so I duck my head and walk to the back where the only empty seat sadly is next to Sebastian. Now don't get me wrong nothing is wrong with Sebastian except for the fact that he can' keep his damn hands to himself. I sit down and open my notebook to start doodling.

"Hey Fray, why you late?" Sebastian whispers.

I inwardly groan but reply, "I slept in."

He has his usual arrogant smirk plastered on his face when he says, "as usual. Hey, I was wondering if you maybe wanted to hang out after school?"

I plaster the same smirk on my face and cockily say, "I wish I could nut work is work, so no."

"Come on Clary, just this once?" he practically begs.

Before I can answer Mrs. Beal practically screeches at us, "Fray and Verlac, get out of my class right now!"

I groan but gather my things and walk out into the hall. Sebastian quickly follows and stands next to me while we wait for the inevitable detention we will be getting. As we wait I sit down and rest against the lockers. Sebastian follows suit.

"I'm sorry I got us in trouble," Sedastian says, barely sounding apologetic.

"Its fine," I sigh.

"Let me make it up to you by taking you out to dinner after detention," he replies his smirk now back on his face.

I laugh a little, but think whats the harm in one dinner? "Ok, but nothing extravagant."

A look of shock goes across his faced but is quickly replaced by a smile instead of a smirk.

The day passed by rather quickly after Mrs. Beal's class. Sebastian and I were now walking to detention laughing about how Mrs. Beal reminds us of a frog with her big glasses perched on her nose and how her lips always stick out like a frogs. I was laughing so hard that I didn't notice Mrs. Beal standing right in front of me, so I crashed into her. I pick up my things from the floor and quickly splutter out an apology. My face must be a crimson color due to the embarrassment. She directs us into her room and tells us to sit. As soon as I take a sit she takes no time to tell us our punishment. Thankfully all we ahem to do is wipe down her chalkboard and get the gum off the bottom of the desks. Soon she leaves the classroom and Sebastian and I are left to silence. I start to drift off in my mind while I'm cleaning the board. Unfortunately I didn't realize that our time was up so I stood there while Sebastian watched for about ten minutes until telling me that our time was finally up. Bastard. He started laughing his ass off because I was so oblivious that apparently he threw a pencil at me without me noticing. We walked to his car and he droves to a small cafe about 20 minutes away from the school. We walked inside and sat down at a small table in the back. The waitress came and took our orders. While I got a cappuccino, Sebastian got probably the most disgusting drink ever, black coffee. No sugar or cream just coffee. Nasty!

"Thanks for taking me here," I say with a smile.

He sips his coffee and says, "anything for you, your majesty."

At that I burst out laughing and he soon joined in. We talked and talked until they kicked us out so they could close. Sebastian was actually really fun to hang out with. We were walking to his car that was parked on the side of the street about 2 blocks from the cafe. He open the passenger door for me and said, "m'lady."

I smiled and replied with mock surprise, "what a gentleman." To emphasize my fake surprise I placed my hand to my chest. He chuckled and went around to his side of the car. He hopped in and he drove me to my apartment building. He got out and opened my door for me again. We walked up to my door and I turned around and said albeit shyly, "Thank you….for tonight. I had a really good time."

His eyes lit up when he said, "me too. Maybe we could do it again sometime soon."

"Ya, I'd really like that." I say blushing slightly. He starts to lean in and his lips are just about to reach mine when we here a blood curdling scream. We both turn in the direction of the scream and see a hideous looking demon coming straight at us. Before my mind can comprehend anything the beast attacks Sebastian. I scream fro help but nobody comes. I start to sob uncontrollably and begin to run away but the demon grabs me before I can. I scream and scream but nobody comes, Sebastian lays unconscious on the floor with a nasty demon bite on his shoulder. I'm about to scream again but the demons tail stabs into my shoulder and the world goes black.

When I come back to my senses I notice toe throbbing pain in my shoulder. I try to sit up but I can't. I start to panic, so I start thrashing around. I finally calm down and look at my whereabouts. I'm in a dark, damp, and filthy cell. I hear a cackle and my eyes search for the source. I finally find the source and what I find makes my heart drop. Valentine Morgenstern is standing in my cell looking at me with those black eyes of his.

Please tell me what you think!
