Disclaimer: I don't own TMI. At all. It's Cassie Clare's. Next Update will only be for 5 reviews. Please. Come on I need some feedback. Btw has anyone watched the TMI trailer. Valentine has BROWN hair with DREADLOCKS! I mean I have nothing against brown hair or dreadlocks but that is not Valentine at all! Lovestory112 :)

Clary lived most of her life in darkness. Resigned under the thick impenetrable canopy of the Far Forest trees the only light came from witchlight streetlamps, flaming torches and lights shining through the small windows of houses. But after those went out it was... nothing. A black endless void stretching vast in every direction.

But Clarissa knew of one special place in the forest. A hill. As a young wandering girl she laid eyes on it and knew it was where she belonged- a second home. She knew the time as if it was yesterday...

Light bathed the mound of dirt in a brilliant column, engulfing every thing in its path with a searing golden haze. Tiny flowers that Clary only saw in the green houses were popping up everywhere. Little bundles of colour splotches against a green canvas. And it was strange. The ground was green. A sweet bright colourful green like Clary's own eyes. The elders described them as grass green. Was this grass?

Clary moved soundlessly, as if not to startle the brilliant light away, and tip-toed up the hill. She looked around. There were no sources in sight. So what was it? Clary focused on the light. It was shooting downward from a break in the canopy and ...

Was this really the sun?

She looked toward the sky and saw the branding, bright light watching her.

The sun. It was really the sun.

Looking at that stream of light Clary had been mesmerized and only now did she remember that awe. Because in looking at these two golden eyes was looking a two twin shining suns. Beautiful.

Above her- holding her- was a boy. He was handsome, with golden blonde hair and golden eyes, a face that could make Apollo a run for his money and, other than a slight chip in his incisor of his flashing white teeth, was perfect. The artist in Clary wanted to draw that face. With all its planes and angles, the strong jawline, and plush lips, he was a masterpiece of art just waiting to be painted.

And he looked surprised.

"Why are you so surprised?" Clary asked innocently in her slight Far Forest accent. It added a sweet hum to her words.

"Well-I-you-I...what?" he stuttered. People laughed behind him.

She smiled. "Are you hard of hearing...or are you just borderline stupid? I mean I have nothing against both I just thought you'd be all... manly." she flashed her perfect teeth.

"I was just surprised. I thought you'd faint the way you were staring at me." he recovered.

He was egotistical. He reminded her of Sebastian. She instantly disliked him. "Yes, one does hardly recover from such traumatic, horrific and life-scarring experiences. Though you look in the mirror every day. You know what it's like."

He glared. She smiled sweetly.

"Now if you don't mind letting go of me..."she drawled. He quickly unwrapped his arms from around her body as if she were acidic.

"I wouldn't mind at all"he murmured. She grinned and flicked her eyes to his partners. A boy and a girl.

"So what are you three doing, all alone, in the middle of the woods, lightly armed?"she asked.

"We could ask you the same thing." The girl said.

She was beautiful with long waist length black hair and dark mocha eyes framed by extremely long eyelashes. Her lips were dark ruby red with lipstick and stood out against her creamy pale face. She was wearing black tough clothing-shadowhunter gear.

"No you couldn't. Because I asked you first."

The girl smiled. "I'm Izzy, well Isabelle but you can call me Izzy, and this is my blue-eyed brother Alec," she pointed at the boy who had the same black hair but had blue eyes instead," and my adoptive brother Jace. We came out here on a patrol."

"Yeah,"the boy-Alec said. "But so far we've got nothing on the mission."

"What's your mission?"Clary asked. This time Jace replied.

"To find and kill Valentine Morgenstern."

"First off, I didn't ask you Goldie Locks and second, you think you're going to kill Valentine Morgenstern!?"

"No, we were sent out to find clues on his whereabouts but it would be nice to kill him." Izzy replied.

"Well, you can't kill him." Clary asked a pit of dread opening in her stomach. "Because I already did."

So...I think 5 reviews is reasonable. Plus I know it doesn't have a lot of action but it just started getting good. Please tell me what you think. Lovestory112 :)
