i own nothing :(

"clarissa fairchild, get your ass down here right this instant!"

clary cursed under her breath as she jumped out of bed and sprinted down the stairs at the dangerous tone in her mother's voice. she came around the corner and skidded to a stop face to face with her mother.

her mother stood there a mirror image of clary. the same red hair and bright green eyes. the only difference was age. her mother looked old, graying, i mean that's what happens when your ex-husband is psychopath. things like that tend to age you. a lot. clary on the other hand looked young. the way she was supposed to be. that was until you looked deep into her eyes.

those green orbs held secrets, ones that are darker than your soul. things that can corrupt you. change you. they sure changed clary.

you're probably thinking this is one screwed up family. you aren't wrong, but there is a reason. they're shadowhunters. now for you mundanes this might make you slightly confused, and by confused i mean you're mind is like, "what the hell is a shadowhunter?!?"

let's start with, welcome to the shadow world!

the world consists of faeries, vampires, werewolves, demons, warlocks, and shadowhunters. protectors of the shadow world are called shadowhunters. a mix of angel and human, they have super human abilities that help them fight the demons. they keep demons from reeking havoc on the human and shadow realms.

the morgenstern is an ancient shadowhunter family. producing generations of powerful hunters, including valentine.

valentine was bright. he showed tremendous progress at the academy. that's where he met jocelyn fairchild. they fell in love. she got pregnant. valentine had changed over the years. he had formed the circle in high school. their goal had changed and morphed into something completely different, he wanted to cure the shadow world of downworlders.

he had turned cruel. while jocelyn was sleeping with their child he injected her with angel blood. planning to experiment on their child. jocelyn found out and ran to valentine's parabatai, lucian. they plotted against valentine. he found out and ambushed lucian with werewolves, causing lucian to become one. jocelyn ran after seemingly seeing valentine die in a fire. she gave birth to clary. they moved to D.C. , creating a new life. she took the name fray, trying to disguise herself.

jocelyn fray planned on keeping clary out of the shadow world, but clary was soon training under her mother's watchful eyes.

clary was highly skilled. she took to being a shadowhunter quickly. she trained hard and it payed off. she was one of the best. even though she doesn't belong to an institute, a place where shadowhunters reside, she was well known. they called her "the shadow". no one knew her real identity besides her mother.

"what do you think?"

"of the apartment , mom?"

"well, yeah."

to be honest clary didn't know what to say. the house was amazing and provided a perfect view that she would like to sketch one day.

art was like a gene for the two women, both were extremely talented. it helped with one of clary's abilities, she could create new runes.

runes are power enhancing symbols that shadowhunters use a stele to burn into their skin. one of the runes cause them to be invisible to the human eye. this is extremely helpful, especially on missions.

clary still didn't like moving though. she missed d.c. she didn't want to be in new york. it was beautiful there and luke—lucian—was there, the local alpha. but there was an institute in new york. what if we get caught? what if we are discovered? clary thought.

"the apartment is great mom. i love it."

"i'm glad," jocelyn gave a sly smile, "i have a surprise for you."

"what is it?"

"you'll love it, i promise. follow me and close your eyes."

she took clary's hand and guided her through the apartment to the surprise.

they stopped inside a dark room and clary was allowed to open her eyes. the lights flicked on and there stood the one and only alpha of new york, lucian garroway.

"happy birthday, clary."
