Hey! I'm back!

I know that this will sound a bit rude, or cocky, or arrogant, but I think that it would be cool if there was art for this fanfiction! I'd still be okay no matter what, but I just think that it would be awesome!

Clary's POV

lIlIlIl

I sat there in the back of the van, with the landscape moving by us.

I didn't want to go with them, but after a look-through of a book of laws, we realized that there wasn't anything that we could do.

So there I was, sitting in the back of their Honda, driving towards what would almost surely by my worst nightmare brought to life.

"So, Clary. How's your week been?" Celine asked me, barely glancing back.

"Well, my abusive husband who I was forced to marry came back, my two best friends found out, my mother died, we had a very low-budget funeral for her that was just disrespectful, and now I'm in the back of my parent-in-laws' van headed towards their house where my abusive husband no doubt waits. You know, the usual?" I stated in my usual sarcastic tone.

"You should be grateful! We saved you from becoming homeless! You'd be sitting on the street with a plastic mug if it wasn't for us!"

"You saved me how? By forcing me to marry Jace? Well I've got two things for you! One, Jace was abusive and probably still is, causing me more pain then being homeless would be! And two, none of the money even went to me, anyway! Jonathan took all of it, to pay for his expensive suits while I was stuck with the exact same outfit for the rest of my life! So even though you think that you've been helping me, you haven't! You've turned my life into a living hell! And I want out of this car!"

"Hmph! Disrespectful little girl!"

"Oh, and what's my punishment? No desert for a week? YOU COULDN'T MAKE MY LIFE ANY WORSE EVEN IF YOU TRIED!"

They didn't respond. They just closed the tiny door they had in between the front seats and the back seats and continued driving.

But I had one thing on my mind that kept me positive. I would meet my brother again. I thought back to when he left.

I was about 4 at the time. He was about 6. I watched as Jonathan handed Sebastian over to Stephen and Celine, wondering what was going on.

I looked up to my mother, who had apparently been crying.

"What's going on, Mommy?" I asked her.

"Sebastian's leaving. He's going to live with the Herondales." She answered sadly.

"But why? Why does he have to leave?"

"Because we don't have enough food."

"But Father's always eating expensive food. How do we not have enough food?"

"His food is his food. Our food is our food."

I turned towards the doorway where Sebastian and the Herondales were walking away.

"Bye." I said quietly.

"We're here." Stephen grunted, snapping me out of my memory.

We got out of the car, and headed up the hill that their house was on.

I'm not sure that the word 'house' covers it, more like 'Small mansion'.

It had marble walls with gold framing and large oak doors, with a garden that would make flower goddesses jealous surrounding it.

There was also a little run-down shack with blackened walls and a crumbling roof next to it. That was probably her room.

We walked up the hill, to the front door. When we got there, Stephen opened them.

Inside was a large room with tall ceilings and windows with luxurious furniture scattered around and giant beautiful pieces of art.

"CLARY'S HERE!" Celine yelled down the giant hall with multiple rooms.

2 people ran into the room.

One was a teenage girl with blonde hair, golden eyes, and a bright and happy face.

"Hi! I'm Joy!" She told me happily. Must've been a while since a girl around her age came around.

And the other was Jace, who was wearing a nice white flannel shirt, a jacket, dark grey trousers, and formal boots. Did his parents really have THAT much of an effect on him?

"Hello Honey." He said in a calm tone. Wow. They're better than I thought.

"Hello. Um… Where's Sebastian? Where's my Brother?" I asked.

"Oh. Sebastian." Joy said grimly.

"Sebastian's dead." Stephen told me bluntly.

lIlIlIl

Yep.

Joy's in!

And I actually think that I have enough OCs…
