*Five years earlier*
CLARY POV:
"I DON'T WANT TO GO TO THE SURFACE", I screamed hoping to get my point across. But of course all I got was death glares.
"You are going and that is FINAL" my mom said in a low whisper. I envied the way she could be so calm, then again she was only human. She doesn't even know how lucky she is.
"Oh that's final"
"Yes it is, I am your mother and what I say goes, young lady"
"Young lady my ass! I'm 17 now. I think I can handle things on my own dear mother"
"I will not put up with your foul language, talk to me when you have washed your mouth out with soap"
"Really mom. Really. Wash it with soap. Who does that? Why would you even do that!?"
"Stupid human" I muttered under my breath.
"What was that?" she asked
Shit she heard. I'm screwed. Totally screwed. BEYOND screwed.
"Umm… nothing…" I said staring at the floor. I knew I crossed the line. Oh well... No turning back now…
She must have seen the way I completely changed from being well a demon to a mere half-bloody, because she took this opportunity to explain her reasoning. Here it goes the lecture…
"Honey, you know I love you and I only want the best for you. I want you to go explore the world, meet new people, try new things, and find LOVE! Experience all the things I got to do!"
"Mom…. I know you mean well but I don't know if you noticed but I'm a demon! A half-demon, which makes it even worst. I go crazy every full moon. Can you IMAGINE the confusion those surface dwellers would be in.! THEY'D FREAK! And probably try to kill ME! I mean I know where at each other throats right now but I pretty sure you don't want me to die right?" I said as I looked deeply into her eyes trying to convince her that I DIDN'T WANT TO DIE!
She looked at me for a moment, her face was unreadable. They all of a sudden she burst into laughter. I was surprised and confused, was she really laughing at me. My confusion suddenly changed to anger.
"Breathe… Breathe…." I whispered trying to gain back my composure.
But it was too late, I started to feel a searing pain in my back, my wings were coming out of my body, my new shirt that I just bought started to rip, and blood began to trickle down my back.
"AAAAHHHHH!" I screamed not being able to handle my transformation.
"Oh honey! I'm so sorry I didn't mean to, I'm sorry!"
MOM POV:
I hated seeing my baby transform, it was so hard on her since she was half human, I couldn't bear to see her in so much pain, but their is nothing I can do, it's just something that she has to get used to, it will eventually get better when she finds her love. That's the whole reason I want her to leave, I want her to find her soul mate. It's the only way she can handle the pain.
"Baby, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you" I said letting tears flood out of my eyes.
"Mom don't cry, it's okay, I shouldn't have been angry, it's just I'm confused, why'd you laugh? "She asked with concerned eyes.
"Oh sweetie it's nothing, I just thought it was funny how you thought you could die, its impossible sweetie, your half demon." I said trying to reassure her.
"Oh... well I feel dumb" she said looked at the floor.
"Oh honey your new shirt, your poor back, are you okay? Here let me help you cleanup"
"No mom its okay, it'll go away eventually, and don't even worry about the shirt, it was on sale anyway "she said with a nervous laugh.
"So do I still have to go to the surface?" she asked
"I'm sorry sweetie but, yes, I know your scared but TRUST me you'll only benefit from this experience, and I'll tell you what, you can bring your two fang friends with you, Isabelle and Magnus" I said trying to get her to go.
"REALLY! YOU'RE SERIUOS! Why didn't you start with that from the beginning! Oh man their gonna be so excited, I can't wait to te-"
"Wait, there are some condition"
"Like always "she said letting out a breath, "Whats the condition?"
"You know what I don't want you to do, no dilly dallying, no being immature, basically don't be stupid and make me regret this" I said with a stern face.
"Oh mother, we would never be that juvenile, we are all almost 18 now, and you can trust us!" she said with a mischievous look in her eyes.
Oh god, I'm totally gonna regret this.
"Alright honey, I trust you to go. You can go and tell your friends AFTER you go to the infirmary to get some aloe to heal your back. Okay?"
"Okay mom, I promise" She said after giving me a quick peck on the cheek.
I watched her walk away with a skip in her step. There goes my baby, out into the world. I quickly went to my room to begin the letter.
JACE POV:
"Yes mother, you asked to speak with me?" I said with a questioning look. What could be so urgent to interrupt my music lessons? I never missed my music lessons, my mother always wanted me to excel in music so why would she cut it short? I thought to myself, as I walked into the hall outside of the music room.
"Sweetie I want you to leave."
"What? What do you mean you want me to leave, I thought I was your son! I thought you loved me?" I said as I started to panic and hyperventilate. Oh god she found out, oh man what am I gonna do, she thinks I'm a little angel, but I do grow up, I'm 18 so it's only natural for me to grow up, that stupid little angel, she must have told everyone about last night. Oh god I'm screwed, I'm screwed.
"Oh sweetie I do love you, I just want you to go and explore the world below"
"Oh" I said letting out a huge breathe. I'm safe for now.
"Wait, wait… did you say go to the world below!?" I said looking at her like she was crazy
"Yes son, I thinks it's about time to go explore new things, leave the heavens and go experience the world and find out what it has to offer, I want you to go and have fun, find your soul mate! "She said cheerfully.
"Soul mate? What makes you think I don't already have one?" I said not realizing that I basically just gave my secret away.
"You really think you soul mate is that angel you had sex with last night?" she said with a chuckle
I turned bright red, realizing that she knew. "How'd you know" I asked not really wanting to know the answer.
"Well son... you may think your sneaky, but… this is my palace, and I know everything, and also she was screaming super loud." She said with a chuckle.
Dammit I should have shoved a pillow on her face.
"Oh god mom, I'm sorry it's just, I'm a man now, and I sometimes have urges." I said staring at my feet.
"Oh son, it's okay, I was young too once. But I know for a fact that that angel girl, Debra, is not the one for you believe me. I know that your love is beneath us, and you have to go and meet her and help her. It's gonna be a difficult journey but I know you can do it!" she said trying to reassure me.
"Plus, since I'm in a nice mood…. You can bring... God I'm gonna regret this… you can bring your two fae friends, what their names?
"SIMON AND ALEC!"
"Yes, yes... those two."
"Really! Then I'm in!"
"But wait theirs a few conditions."
"Okay shoot."
"No dilly dallying, no being stupid and immature"
"Oh mother, we are all grown men now, we would never" I said knowing that we are totally gonna get into mischief.
"Okay, I trust you son. Now go and prepare for you journey, go get your companions, you will leave tomorrow. "She said with tears forming in her eyes.
"Oh mom, don't worry, I promise that we'll be safe and come back in one piece" I said as a quickly kissed her on the cheek trying to reassure her.
"I know son. I know, now go off, before I change my mind... and don't tell you father okay…"
"Okay mom, whatever bye! Love ya!"
I went back into the music class to finish my lesson, but right after I'll go and tell the guys. Their gonna be stoked!
JACE'S MOM POV:
I quickly went into my room and began to write a letter to my dear best friend
Hello dear friend,
I have talked to Jace about it, and he's going, if everything goes according to plan, everything will work out. I have not told my husband and I won't. Just as you have. Oh gosh I'm so excited for them to meet! Everything will work out, I just know it.
With Love, Maryse
