Chapter 3- new friends

The next morning found me in a sour mood. It's pouring outside and I didn't want to deal with Kaelie again I sighed and went into my closet to get dressed. I put on faded skinny jeans with rips in the knees, a grey tank top with a black and white patterned sweater jacket over it and grey Vans. I pulled my hair up in a messy bun and went downstairs, grabbing my bag on the way. I dropped it onto the couch and went into the kitchen.

Dad was there like always, but no Jonathan. Weird. "Hey, dad," I greeted, kissing his cheek. "Where's Jon?" "Morning, Clary. Jon's still sleeping." "Oh. Well, I'll go get him, then. School starts soon. Thank God it's Friday!" He chuckled and I went to Jon's bedroom door. I knocked loudly and waited, repeating the process twice before I stood silently, listening.

The shower wasn't on. I shrugged and went in, being quiet as a mouse. I heard movement in the closet and saw that his closet door was, indeed, slightly open. I knocked on it. "Yeah?" he called. "Are you decent?" I asked. "Yeah. " I opened the closet door fully and saw him in just black jeans with a single rip in one knee. "Want to help me?" he asked. I giggled and grabbed a white T-shirt, a black leather jacket with a cloth hood and black leather gloves.

He thanked me and slipped them on. "I'm gonna have to keep the girls off of you." I joked. "Oh? Does that me I look good?" he joked back, smirking. "Well, you need to do something with that bedhead, but otherwise, yes. You do." I said, grabbing the brush and a hairband. "Sit." He sat on a stool and I stood behind him brushing his hair. (Conor McLain. Look him up. That's what he looks like…)

I set the brush down when I finished and smiled at him in the mirror. "There you go, Jon. All done." I said. "Thanks, Clary." He got up and kissed my cheek. "Let's go eat. I'm starving." "Aren't you always starving? You might want to stop eating so much or you'll get fat and look like a pig." I said cheekily. He wrinkled his nose at me and flicked my forehead. "Ow." I pouted as e walk downstairs. "Jerk." "Yeah yeah. We all know you love me, Clare." He chuckled.

"Do I though? Really?" I teased. He feigned looking hurt while I giggled. We sat at the counter and ate a bowl of cereal each. I put my bowl and spoon in the sink and headed out the door yelling a "bye, dad!" and "You better hurry, Jon, or you'll be late!" before the door closed behind me. I took a breath and stuck my headphones, which I grabbed on my out, in my ears and walked to school in the rain, getting totally soaked, listening to some Evanescence songs.

I was half way there when a black SUV pulled up beside me. I looked at it, shocked, as the window rolled down. "Hey!" Isabelle Lightwood peeked her head out and waved at me. I could see Alec sitting in the passenger seat and knew Jace was probably in the back. "Oh, hi." I half-smiled. "I'm Isabelle." "Clary." I shook the hand she stuck out the window. "Do you need a ride to school? You're getting soaked. "Um, I-" "She will be fine." Jonathan said from behind me. I turned and smiled at him. "Why not just take the offer, Jon? We are getting soaked and it's cold. Please?" I asked, pleadingly to him. He sighed. "Fine. You have room for both of us?" he asked Isabelle. "Yep! Two more spots in the back, by Jace." He nodded and we got ing, him sitting by Jace, who scowled at him, and me by the window. We buckled in. "So, who are you?" Jon asked. "I'm Isabelle, but call me Izzy. This is my older brothers." Isabelle said. "I'm Alec." Alec nodded to us. "And I'm Jace. I'm adopted." Jace smiled at me while Jon glared at him.

"I'm Clary and this is my older brother ,Jonathan." "What's your last name?" Izzy asked. "Our last name is Morgenstern. And yours is Lightwood right?" She nodded and smiled warmly at me.
"Tell us about you and we will do the same, in turns. Clary, go first." She said. "Ok. My name is Clarissa Morgenstern, but I go by Clary. My mother and father are divorced and she married a man named Luke, who she's divorcing soon and getting back with our father because Luke was… abusive. Remember the first time you saw me? With my friend? I was limping and I fell?" they nod. "Yeah, he broke my ankle. That was the last straw, so I ran to my father's house and told him and Jon everything."

"That sucks." Alec says.

I nodded. "Well," I continued. "After I got done, they called Luke and mom and had them come over, and they did. They were confused at first, but when dad told them what happened Luke threatened to kill me. That's when Jonathan snapped. He's half-demon. The blood of Lilith runs through his veins, put there by dad when da was… more power hungry. He's chilled down as we got older. I have extra angel blood and can create new Runes, make old runes stronger and use runs only Angels can use.

"So, yeah, Jon snapped and nearly killed him. I don't know why I stopped him from killing Luke, but I did. I guess I didn't want blood spilled because of me. So I calmed Jon down and everything was fine."

"Did your mother know that Luke was abusing you?" Jace asked, his face pale.

"Yeah. She tried to stop him, but he just hit her, too. Though she never gave up trying to stop him. Hey, she even took some of the beatings for me… so when Jon had calmed she said that she was leaving Luke and going back to dad. That's what happened. Back to me. I'm 16 years old."

"That's the same age as me." Izzy said, happy. "That's cool. I love to draw, too. I'm not dating anyone, so don't ask. " I said as Izzy's face lit up with the question. "And… I train with Jon and use Seraph Blades and my stele." I finished with a smile.

"Why are you telling us, no one you know, this personal information?" Alec asked. "I… don't know. I guess this is one of those times when you meet new people and you feel like you've known them for years…" I said, shrugging.

"Wow. You're so strong, dealing with that and not breaking…" Izzy said softly. "Thanks… I have to deal with Kaelie and her friends too." "I've met them. They aren't very nice people." Alec said. "They tried to hit on me…" Jace informed with a laugh.

"She tried to get me to hook her up with Jon. I told her that I wouldn't put my brother through that Hell." Everyone laughed. "So, Izzy, tell us about you." I prompted.

" Well, you know my name and age and that I'm a Shadowhunter. We all are here. I like to cook-" "Though she sucks at it," Jace interjected while she glared at him before continuing. "-and I love shopping. I use a whip as my main weapon. I have a mother and father who are in Idris now and a little brother, Max, who's 9 and I got these two. I'm not dating anyone."

"Ok, I guess it's my turn." Jon sighed. I'm Jonathan but call me Jon. Do NOT call me Jonny." "He will kill you. Nearly killed Kaelie when she called him that… and when she called me a bitch." I said, patting is arm gently. "Yeah. I'm 17. I like to hunt and train with my sister. I only paint in blood. I am not dating, but I do like someone. I'm not saying who. I have my father and mother and Clarissa, my little sister."

"Awesome. Well, I'm Jace. I'm 17 as well and I like to hunt and train too. " "Hunting buddies!" I said. Jon rolled his eyes while Jace smiled at me. "Maybe. I play the piano and am very good at it and I have stunningly good looks." "Cough. Arrogant. Cough." Alec pretended to cough. We laughed and Jace scowled at him. "Not funny, Alexander. I'm not dating anyone, sadly. And my real parents are dead so the Lightwoods took me in when I was 10. They are my only family. I fight with Seraph Blades or my bare hands."

"Alright. I'm Alexander, but I go by Alec… Um I'm 18 years old. I'm Izzy's older brother so you already know about our family… Um I like to read, I guess. And train. I use a bow. I'm… dating a warlock." "Who?" I asked, curious. He blushed a bright red. "Magnus Bane. I-I'm gay." "Oh! That's awesome! And don't worry about Jon and I thinking bad about you being gay . We don't care. We like you the way you are and will not try to change you. Promise." I said, grinning. "Yes. People who judge other by their sexuality are idiots." Jon agreed.

"If anyone bothers you, let me know and I'll beat the crap out of them. " I offered. "Thanks." Alec smiled at me, grateful. "Does Magnus go here?" Jon asks. Alec nods. "Yeah. Same grade a me."

"Cool. Well, we're here!" We got out of the car and Izzy and I shared schedules with each other and the boys. Turns out I'm in most of her classes, a few of Alec's and one of Jace's. Jace seemed to be a little put off by that, which we mocked him for. Well, except Jon. He just glowered at us.

We went to school, becoming greater friends as the day went on.

So there ya have it. The replaced chapter 3! You're welcome!
