CHAPTER 2
***CLARY***
Jumping up, she sped to the door, past her father and down the stairs, eager to see if her mother was alright.
When she got to the foyer, she saw her mother standing by Jonathan, looking pissed as hell. Valentine smiled at her as if expecting her to welcome him with open arms.
He wrapped his arms around her in a hug. Jocelyn stiffened and tried to shove him off.
Clary glanced at Jonathan who looked amused to say the least. He glanced over at her and nodded toward the stairs. After weighing her options and deciding to talk with her mother later, she followed him upstairs. He led her back to her room and opened the door for her and closing it behind her. After glancing around at the pictures, he sat down beside her bed and patted the floor beside him, "Come sit with me sister. It's time we got to know each other". She looked at him suspiciously before sitting down across from him with the wall to her back.
With only a small frown, he asked, "So what do mundanes do for fun?"
She blinked in surprise,"You care about that?" He shrugged. "Well, they..."
***TIME SKIP***
They talked for over an hour about nothing and everything. She was starting to see a new side of him, but still wouldn't trust him completely. That would take a few lifetimes.
"So, what's with the abnormal amount of pictures of the Lightwood girl?"
"Abnormal? There are hardly THAT many", but glancing around she saw that there were a lot more pictures of her than the others.
"Oh, really?", He studied her for a few moments before smirking. "Never would have pegged you for a lesbian"
"Wha? I-I-I'm not a lesbian!" She sputtered, blushing.
"Don't worry little sister. I'll not tell father. Though I think I know what to get you for your birthday"
She felt a spike of fear go through her for Isabelle. What would he do? She didn't have to wait long because her birthday was only a few days away. With that, he got up to leave. Before he left he called over his shoulder,"By the way, father wants a 'family dinner' in a about 30 minutes, so get ready"
"Okay" This was going to be interesting.
