"L-Luke,"Clary said as she got into Luke's pick up truck. Luke was her mom's best friend.

"Clary are you alright?" asked Luke, leaning in to hug Clary.

Clary snuggled into him as the tears started flowing gain,"Th-they t-to-ok her-r, Lu-uke."

"Clary, it's going to be alright. I promise."

"Luke, who is the person who took her?"she asked, pulling away.

Luke let out a long sigh,"Clary, He is your father."

Clary eyes widened,"Wh-what! No, my father is dead. He-"

"Clary, that's what your mom wanted you to think. The truth is that your father is a murderer. His name is Valentine Morgenstern. He and Jocelyn met in high school and fell in love. They got married at

eighteen. Jocelyn got pregnant and she had twins. She had you and a boy. She named the boy Jonathon. Jocelyn feared Jonathon, because he popped off the heads of your dolls and bit all of the other chiildren.

She thought he was possessed. Then, Valentine went crazy. He had this idea that he and Jocelyn were going to rule the world together with Jonathon as his heir. Valentine didn't want a female heir thought, so he tried

to kill you, Clary. Luckily, youor mother walked in on him about to slit your throat. Your grandparents and I helped put Valentine in jail, but a year later, he had broken out. He killed your grandparents in their sleep.

I and your mother ran away and Valentine went into hiding. It seems that hiding didn't last as long as we had hoped."

Clary allowed this to sink in. Her father wasn't John Clark. It was Valentine Morgenstern, the murderer in hiding.

Clary slowly raised her head to Luke,"So what now."

Luke glared at the road in front of them,"We are going to New York. I'm possitive that that is where Valentine took Jocelyn."

Clary nodded,"Is there anyone there who will help us?"

"I have a few old friends. Maryse and Robert LIghtwood. They have connections and they are no doubt willing to help"

Clary fell silent then, lost in her own mind.

Luke and Clary stopped at a gas station in Virginia. That was when Clary realized the same car had been following them for the past seventeen hours. It was a black SUV. In the driver and paasnger seats sat two men .

One man had sandy brown hair, the other had blonde hair. Both wore block sunglasses and both had a muscular build.

Clary edged toward Luke, who was casually filling gasoline into the car,"Luke, there are two men who are following us."

Luke's eyes glided to the SUV. He mummbled,"Stay here."

Then he was off.

Luke walked over to the SUV and put his arm on the edge of the window and grinned at the men. He said something and then suddenly a lot of things happened at once.

Clary saw the driver reach in his the dashboard. She heard a gunshot, saw Luke dodge the bullet, and watched a very handsome blonde headed boy jump from

the roof ofthe SUV (was he there before?). The boy was attacking the SUV with a sword. He slashed the tires and then Luke had a knife to the driver's throat, the boy had his sword to the passenger's, who was trying to

flee the scene, chest.

Luke glared at the man,"Now leave, Blackwell, and tell Morgenstern that if he tries this again, we'll be ready for him."

Luke growled at Blackwell and then pulled the blade away. He started walking away, back to the truck, when Blackwell went for the gun again. But then the boy was there and had his sword to Blackwell's throat.

The boy growled,"Get goin' Blackwell, or it will be more than your pride that was killed today."

Blackwell and the passenger fleed. The boy walked over to Luke, who now stood leaning against the pick-up.

"You must be Jace,"said Luke to the boy.

The boy, Jace, smirked,"I am, and yoou must be Luke. Let me guess, "-Jace ducks his head down to look at Clary-"the twig with the read hair in there is Clarissa Morgenstern."

Luke glared at Jace, as did Clary. Luke said,"That young lady in there is Clarissa Fray."

Jace just smirked and nodded. He went around to the bed of the pick-up and grabbed a bag (when did that get there?), and got into the backseat.

Luke climbed into the drivers side,"All right. Let's go."

Jace just nodded and Luke focused on the rode. leaving a very confused Clary.
