Clary

We were all sent here for a reason. It's not like you could casually walk in and say 'Hey, I think I might be having a mental breakdown. Where's my room?'
It just doesn't work like that, you have to be issued out here. Which basically means that you have to be crazy and mentally unstable.

Which is exactly why I'm here; why we're all here.

Idris is a new start for people like me. The Idris Institute is where we were all sent, for some of us it is the only home we'll ever know. Others, its just a reminder of what we had lost.

Of our small little group, Alec and Isabelle Lightwood arrived first. Alec was 12 and Isabelle had just turned 10. They grew up in a wealthy home, living in a mansion and getting everything they wanted. They both had looks most people would kill for. Alec has the best blue eyes, and dark hair. Isabelle inherited the same dark hair, but has grey eyes. Unlike what I thought when I first heard the story, their lives were far from perfect.

At a young age, Alec knew that he was not like the other boys. Alec was always afraid to come out and tell his parents that he was gay. I mean, what boy actually knows when he's twelve? He was in denial for two years before he confided in Isabelle, who was more than supportive. So when he finally got the courage to tell his parents, their reactions were just what he expected and more. They had a fit. They grounded him, his dad told him he better get the disease out of him before he ruins the family name, and his mother cried for days. It was horrible.

Isabelle, who had a bit more nerve than Alec at the time, stood up for her big brother, telling her parents that it is how he feels, and that if a nine-year old could accept it, than a pair of forty-year olds could.

That made then really lose it. They started physically and verbally abusing Alec, Isabelle, and their little brother Max. He was only about two or three years old. The fighting got out of hand, and it tore the family apart. One day, Isabelle accidentally broke a plate in the kitchen and her mother went ballistic. She screamed at Isabelle, and then the situation brought back Alec's sexuality.

Maryse, their mother, told Isabelle that she was being a failure to God for standing up for someone like Alec and that she and him better get ready to go to hell. When her father joined in, he gave Isabelle a hard slap to the face after fighting for hours. Alec intervened, trying to help his little sister, and tried to fight his dad off. His dad continuously punched him and kicked him until he was unconscious, leaving a screaming Isabelle to take care of him. Then, little Max decided he wanted to protect his 'Iswy' so he ran towards his father and started kicking his father. That is when Robert, their father, kicked Max till he was on the floor and hit his head on the wall. Isabelle swears she heard his skull crack.

The neighbors, who heard the commotion called the cops and they soon came and arrested Rob and Maryse. Isabelle, Alec, and Max were taken to the hospital where Alec and Isabelle got stitched up. Max, however, had permanent brain damage and died three days after the event took place. Isabelle and Alec were brought to Idris, instead of an orphanage, and have been here ever since.

Jace Wayland came after them. Jace grew up without a father. He abandoned Jace and his mother when Jace was two. His mother was not a great mother. Sure, she loved Jace, but she was never there. She suffered from severe depression and was very suicidal. When Jace was five, she tried hanging herself and Jace found her and got the neighbors to call the ambulance before she passed. Once she was released, she tried her best to pull herself together for Jace, but as he grew, he started to look more like father, which caused Celine, to slip back into her depression. When Jace was at school when he was 11, she slit her wrist in the bathtub and drowned herself.

Jace found her and called the hospital. He was took into a foster care before being taken to Idris. He's a very reserved person, only Alec and Isabelle really know a lot about him. I mean, sure we hang out in a group, but I don't think we've had one conversation that was saying 'Happy Birthday' or 'Good Morning'.

I came a few years after Jace did. I never met my father, like Jace. But, unlike him, my mother didn't miss my father. Or at least she never showed it. My older brother, Jonathan, Mom, and I were so close. We used to make tents out of sheets near the fireplace and roast marshmallows. We were a happy family that lived in a crappy New York apartment, living off of my mother's paintings. Then, when I was 13 and Jonathan was 15 he started...touching me. Not in a friendly way, though. He always told me how much he loved me and how pretty I was. I thought it was just a brotherly way of saying I was pretty, but one day, when my mom was gone, he came into my room and molested me.

I was so scared, I didn't know what to do. I didn't want to tell my mom, because I was afraid of what Jonathan would do. He did it for months, until finally my mom heard me screaming when she came home early. She was mortified. She got Jonathan away from me and started crying. She called the cops and they took Jonathan away. She didn't talk to me for months. She just spent her time painting and crying. I didn't know who to talk to, she wouldn't take me to a therapist or anything! So, after months of being ignored, I ran away and found Idris.

Simon and Magnus came around the same time as each other. They got there about a year after I did. Simon easily became my best friend. He was so nerdy and funny. He was happy all the time and made us all forget about our problems. But that doesn't mean he didn't have any problems himself. He grew up in the most normal atmosphere that its almost hard to believe that he's even here in the first place. His mother, though, was always pushing Simon to do better, even if he was already doing great. If he got an A- on a test, she told him he should've gotten an A+. If he got 2nd in his class, she'd be disappointed he didn't get 1st.

This led to Simon getting into drugs and alcohol and partying and everything I never would have thought he would have been through. He'd play Golden Boy at home, and then he'd break into his father's liquor cabinet and drink all of his troubles away. Unfortunately, he had one too many drinks and ended up passed out on his bed. His mother found him and, instead of helping him, started yelling at his dad about him. He nearly died from alcohol poisoning, but luckily his sister got him to the hospital in time. Rebecca was underage and was not able to take care of him, so they were both sent to Idris.

Magnus is a whole different story. He only lived with his father, his mother and father divorced and she had a new family to take care of, and his father was rather...superstitious. He believed in demons and angels and Greek mythology and basically everything that is fake. Magnus loved to prank his father, so one Halloween he decided to dress up as a demon and scare him. He got fake contacts, ones that look like a cats eyes, and waited until his dad was going for a swim.

He got in the water and jumped out in front of him. Magnus' dad lost it. He started screaming 'DEMON' and grabbed Magnus by the head and started drowning him. He tried to fight back, but his dad had to have held him under for at least over a minute. He managed to kick his father off. He took off the contacts and screamed at his father that it was him. His dad still didn't believe him. He believed that his son was a demon and called for social services. They got Magnus away from his home and then gave him a choice; orphanage or Idris. He chose Idris.

And that is us. The six of us are the closest in the house. We've all come from different backgrounds and we all have different stories, but in the end we're all there for each other. Our lives have been totally the same for that past few years, nothing terrible is happening to us. We're all learning to deal with our selves.

That was until we grew up, became teenagers. Thats when everything changes.
