Being a Gallagher/shadow hunter is kind of hard. okay maybe It's not that hard. but it isn't all that easy. Do you know how many times I almost spilt the beans on my family? At least a dozen times. To Gallagher, I'm an orphan. My name is Campari Lightwood, sister to Alexander, Isabelle, Maxwell and Jonathan lightwood.

To the glammered word my name is Cameron Morgan (I adopted the last name), 16 years of age, no family, except for the Gallagher sisterhood, and alone and confused in the world. But lest make one thing clear- I am not confused and I am not alone.

Me and my brother Alec were very close and we still would be if I wasn't at Gallagher. And why am I at Gallagher if I'm a Shadow hunter you ask? Because the clave is evil and wanted to punish my parents for a sin they did long ago. Being part of the Circle that almost wiped out all downworlders completely.

Their excuse? They wanted someone to go to the mundane world and live it for themselves. I haven't seen or talked to my family in three years. My little brother Max was only six when I left and I don't know if he remembers me.

Anyway, with all the introduction crap out of the way, lets get started on the story.

I was in my room alone, playing on my laptop. It's amazing how good I had gotten at solitaire. Besides the point. I was alone and then out of the blue, a fire message popped up for me. I rolled my eyes. The clave would send me messages asking how I was doing. Like they cared.

But this one was different. This one was from Isabelle. I quickly opened it. up and read:

Dear Campari,

Yeah! You get to come home! I can't wait to see you! Alec is almost bouncing of the walls he's so excited. Mom and Dad are in Idris so you won't see them when you get back. It's so lonely back here without you. So much has happened and you couldn't even come back to see it. Damn Clave. They don't know what a family is. Anyway, I'll be seeing you soon. Alec is going to pick you up. He'll send you a message telling you when and where.

Miss you

-Isabelle

It was official. I was going home.
