A/N: I do not own anything but the imaginary place called Blackwater valley and the plot. All the characters belong to the oh so mighty Cassandra Clare!

Chapter one – New beginning

Alec was sitting in his grey Toyota Corolla. Jace was driving as usual, so Alec just watched as the familiar city went by and trees surrounded them. The car smelled like cigarettes because he didn't have the guts to tell Jace not to smoke while driving. Alec had always hated the smell, but he loved his best friend so he let the smell linger inside of his car once again. He slowly opened another window as Jace dropped his cigarette to the ground.

"You know, I don't think this will be as bad as you think," Jace said and quickly looked at Alec. Alec sighed and tried not to breath in the smoke.

"Yeah, that might be right," he answered. He was sure that Jace would see right trough his lie.

"We are just moving away, it's not that big deal. Besides this place isn't that far away," the golden-eyed boy said and smiled.

"How about Izzy and Max? Mom and dad won't be there for them, I'm sure," Alec asked nervously and stared at his adopted brother's profile. It was Jace's time to sigh.

"Izzy will be there. She said that she will take care of Max. And she has a car so they can come over whenever they want to," Jace answered. His tone was relaxed and calming. Sometimes it was hard to think that Alec was the older one of the couple.

Alec turned his eyes to the road again. They had been driving for almost an hour and he was getting sick of the huge green trees. The road was in good condition though, and it calmed his nerves a little bit. Maybe they wouldn't get into an accident and die. He closed his bright blue eyes.

"I'm trying to get some sleep, if you don't mind," he said to Jace.

"Yeah, go ahead. We should be there in forty minutes," Jace answered. Alec let out an annoyed sigh, but Jace didn't say anything.

"Alec, hey! Wake up, we are here," Alec heard Jace shouting, way too loud and straight to his ear.

"Ow, ow, ow! Why would you do that?" Alec yelled and almost hit his head to the car's ceiling.

"Believe it or not, I've been trying to wake you up for five minutes. Dude, you were seariously passed out," Jace explained and opened the driver's door.

"Now get up, I need to get to toilet," Jace continued and jumped out of the car. Alec rolled his eyes and got out too. It was so typical Jace; he didn't want to stop for wc breaks.

Jace locked the car and tossed the keys to Alec. Alec easily caught them and put them to his jeans' pocket.

Alec looked around and saw the slightly familiar parking lot. He and Jace had been there few times before; when they first went to see the apartment, when they got the keys, and when they brought all their stuff there. The apartment was a small and old house with two bedrooms, kitchen, bathroom, and a living room. It was located near the road and the forests, but the town itself couldn't be called a village. Well, it had no skyscrapers or huge shopping malls, but it had highly respected college, few nice nightclubs, and comfy little resaturants and coffee shops. Blackwater valley was, despite its name, a beautiful and social place. Alec smiled.

"Alexander Gideon Lightwood! We need togo right now! Otherwise I'm gonna wet my pants," Jace said from the wooden door. Alec laughed and rushed beside his best friend.

"Open the door, for god's sake! We don't want you to piss yourself on a first day in here, do we?" Alec said laughing even harder.

"It seems like thats exactly what you want," Jace said and smiled. Before Alec could answer, the golden boy had already run trough the open door.

A/N: So, this was the beginning of my FIRST FANFIC EVER! It is really short, I know, but I PROMISE to make next chapters longer. I'm Finnish, so English isn't my first language, and because of that there may be spelling mistakes. But hey, I'm trying! I would love to hear your opinions of this short and humble start. And yes, this is a Malec fic and Magnus will arrive soon enough, don't worry about that!The first reviewer gets imaginary rainbow sparkles and lots of love!

Love, Kiikka
