So here's the new chapter. That's all. K. Bye.

TMI BELONGS TO CASSIE CLARE

The crowd behind us gasped. Prince Jonathan looked at me shocked, and nearly sputtered when he spoke, "How could Ruby look like that?"

I looked at the Prince confusion written all over my face, "Ruby? My name is Clarissa." I felt someone grab my hand and I flinched.

Standing beside me was King Stephan. I bowed my head and crouched on one knee. He shook his head and pulled me up. "Here, there is no need for that. I should be paying you my respects, Ruby." Who the damn hell was Ruby?

"Would to like to come stay in the castle with us dear. I wish to know about you."

I smiled at the King. "My King, I am a Morgenstern. You shouldn't trust me."

He chuckled. "Such loyalty the Morgenstern's have. Your brother said the same when he arrived. Now he is my right hand man! Please, my dear. Let's go get your things."

A chance to live with m brother! To start new. I smiled and nodded gratefully at the King. "We must go to my house, Sire. My uh-weapons rest there." He nodded.

"I have been wondering where you lived. Come guards, we shall all go together."

"Father she could be a spy! Look at her." Everyone looked at the Prince, he was right I very well could be. "This could have been a setup."

"My Prince, have you ever thought of ending your life before it has started?" He shook his head, and I continued, "I have many times. I tried killing my Father, too. For years I have been planning an escape. When I finally ran I decided I would fight until the end. So for two years I have been traveling from town to town, killing rebels. You can say what you want, but that is the truth. However, I am not on the Royal's side I am on my own."

I bent down and picked up one of my golden daggers, it must have fallen out of my belt. Carefully I slipped it into it's sheath."I shall have to decline your offer my King. I know when I am unwanted. Thank you very much though. Goodbye brother."

"No! You shall come!" The King roared. "I owe you everything. If my son does not respect you, that is his loss. I want you to come, go get your stuff. Come guards."

I smiled to myself and began to walk to my … old home.

We rounded to corner and my brother spoke up and I knelt near the dumpster. "This is where you have been living?"

I chuckled. "No. My house is here." I began taking the bricks out and slipped inside followed by King Stephan, Prince Jonathan, some guards, and my brother. They looked around shocked.

"Clarissa how did you find this place?" the Prince asked while he walked inside.

"I am an assassin. I have been trained by the best, Prince Jonathan."

The Prince made a face. "Just call me Jace."

I nodded and I walked to my bed. I pushed it aside and entered the code in the trap door. I took all my weapons and armour and put them in a case. I then brought a couple suitcases and threw in some nice dresses, jeans, and shirts. " Okay I'm ready."

"Clare, where's all your food?" Jon called from the kitchen.

"I don't have any; no money."

Jace looked at me frustration glistening in his golden eyes "So you've stolen then?"

"Yeah," I shrugged, "you do what you have to do. I tried to take the most possible amount I could when I stole too. I'd take a small portion and give the rest to some Lones who couldn't afford such things."

"Well then where did you get these beautiful dresses? And why do you own such things?" The king reached for one of my most exquisite dresses.

"I sold some jewelry I stole from the Rebel camp. I used then to get into balls. Some Rebels, especially the higher ranked ones, tried to kill your family at many balls. I'd sneak up on them."

"My dear. How many times have you saved our family?"

"I don't know, lots though. You should really up your guard's training though. I once climbed the whole castle for fun once! I didn't even get caught!"

"You're insane, Ruby." Jace shook his head and began to climb out of my house.

The drive up to he castle was actually quite long. With about thirty minutes left I finally asked. "Who is this Ruby you speak of?"

The King and Jonathan smiled. "You. People would see someone helping or protecting towns from rebels and the only thing they saw was a red ruby glistening in the moonlight."

"When I heard about the necklace I knew it was you," my brother laughed, "I just couldn't find you. Quite the hider aren't you?"

"I guess," I looked out the window, "Valentine taught me to be the best, better than you."

"Yeah that means you can terrorize our country." Jace's eyes glistened with hate.

"No, I think you'll do that first." I whipped my head towards him and felt my own angry coming off of my in waves.

"What are you talking about?" Jace continued to stare at me, almost like he thought looks could kill.

"You let your greed and pride disguise you from the outside world. Do you know how hard it is to be a Lone?"

"Well those people can get jobs they chose not to."

"No, I've tried. Because you are a Lone you are only fit to clean houses."

"Now, now," The King but in, "look out the window Clarissa."

I did as he said and before stood us stood a large white stucco castle. "It's beautiful."

"Yeah, whatever princess," mumbled Jace.

"My apologizes you highness," I mocked Jace and Jon tensed up.

"I shall bring try sister to her room, my apologizes." Jon abruptly grabbed me, and dragged me up the stairs.

He led me through never ending hallways until we came upon a small guest room. "Listen, Clare," my brother guided me to the chair in the corner., "be very careful around Jace. He is not gentle nor caring. He will hurt you."

"Really? More than Valentine, more then you did?"

"What the hell are you talking about Clary? I never hurt you!"

Rage poured through me. I screamed, my temper lost. "You left me with him! You left to fend for myself! I wanted to come here do badly! You knew that, but no, you will always come first! You have hurt me more than anyone else. Being here, in this beautiful place reminds me of the anger I felt when you left me behind, so you could have a better life. You've had it so damn easy."

Jon's face was guarded. I was getting on a topic he didn't want to talk about. Our past. I stood abruptly, "I'm leaving, this was a mistake. I shouldn't have come. I am nothing to you, I will never be something."

I ran towards the balcony and jumped. I felt the air and the cold breeze, and for a moment I forgot about everything.
