Clary POV
The whole car ride home Jon was asking questions, Clary didn't know how to answer any of them. She didn't know how to tell him about her rough past, about how the 4 years in California didn't go how she expected.
Once Clary and Jon got home Clary locked herself in her room and didn't come out till morning
(This is on a Thursday now, just saying)
Clary had gotten to school 10 minutes late, Jon had given up on trying to get her up and to school on time.
The hallways were empty and the next bell signaling that 1st period was over was about to ring. Once the bell rang Clary was met at her locker by Isabelle.
"Did you tell Jon?" She asked
"No" Clary said taking books out of her locker
"Why not?" Isabelle asked
"Because it's kind of hard to explain what's gone on" Clary said
"When are you going to tell him?, he deserves to know" Isabelle asked
"I know" Clary said "I'll tell him tonight, at your house, I'll tell Jace too"
"What!?" Isabelle exclaimed causing people to look at her
"Lower your voice Isabelle, people are staring!" Clary whisper yelled
"You're going to tell Jace?" Isabelle asked and Clary nodded
"Wow ok" Isabelle said "when?"
"Tonight, your house, around 6?" Clary asked hopefully
"Sure" Isabelle said giving her a small smile
School ended rather quickly for Clary. She was worried about what she was going to say, how she was going to say it without breaking down. Her past was a touchy subject that no one was aware about except of course Isabelle and Simon.
6:00 came around really fast. Clary was at Isabelle's house at 5:30 so was Simon, Isabelle thought that he should be there for moral support. Jon and Jace were sitting in the living room waiting.
"Are you ready?" Isabelle asked
"As ready as I'll ever be" Clary replied
Before Clary started she put on her best poker face, show no weakness.
"Ok" Clary started "you guys want answers and I'm going to give them to you but please, bear with me OK?"
She got a nod from everyone
"So it started when I was 14, I had lived with dad for a year, around that time he was letting himself go. He got drunk frequently and he got fired from his job"
Clary swallowed visibly and continued
"He started-" Clary took in a deep breath "He started hitting me"
Jon made an audible gasp
"It was fine, a slap here and there but then it started getting worse a punch a kick every once in a while. Then it got more frequent everyday. One day I had enough after being abused for almost a year I packed a bag and left."
Clary was now looking at her hands as she ringed them over and over again
"I just turned 15 I didn't have any money for a plane ticket, all I had was $100 in cash and a few changes of clothes. One day I was walking through an alley and I was stopped by a man his name was Raphael. I don't know how he knew I was homeless but he did. He offered me a job a way to make money, but I needed to give him something in return. I was Desperate so I said yes blind and not knowing what I was getting into."
This was it the hard part Clary thought. Clary had to keep her poker face on. Everyone was staring at her intently waiting for her to continue. She looked up from her hands and was met with jobs worried gaze. She looked to Isabelle and she nodded her head to continue.
"I was taken to an abandoned institute where I was-"
Clary inhaled a deep breath, tears threatening to fall
"Where I was rapped, I was rapped for 3 months by a different man every day" Clary admitted
She looked up and was met with Jon's enraged expression and Jace's shocked face.
"After those 3 months of torture they had me tattooed"
Clary turned around and showed her tattoo of a triangle △ that was on the back of her neck.
"They said that phase one of my initiation was complete that I needed to move on to phase 2. I had no idea what he was talking about, He told me that the offer he gave me in the alley was to join his gang and that he now owned me"
"Phase 2 of my initiation was learning to fight traditional and dirty. Phase 2 was more bearable than phase 1, it was still hard the first 4 months I was beaten bloody and bruised."
"I had finally finished my training perfecting everything from hand to hand combat to disarming a weapon and other thing along those lines"
"Once that was over I was meant to be put to phase 3. It was a little hard, they had me do 3 tasks to see which one would fit me best. I was desperate they offered me food and shelter so I obliged to anything they wanted me to do I had no other choice"
Clary was proud of herself for keeping it together.
"My first task was to deal" Clary explained
"What do you mean?" Jon asked
"Drugs" Clary simply explained
"I was good at it, it was simple all I had to do was retrieve money, easy enough. My second task was being a prostitute when I refused they beat me for disobeying orders, I didn't have to do it. My third task was being a hit man or girl, I killed people for money."
That was it that's all it took.
"I took lives in vain" Clary said practically sobbing
"It was either them or me and I couldn't risk that. They told me that, that was going to be my permanent Job. I obliged they were taking care of me, feeding me, clothing me, I had to" Clary tried to slow her tears
"One day when I was out for a walk I met Simon" Clary said with a small smile.
"I'd known Simon for about a year when raphael told me I had a new target. It was Simon" Clary said tears flowing again
"They wanted me to kill my best friend because they were afraid he knew too much when in fact he knew nothing. That night I packed my stuff and left, I went to Simons house and I told him, everything" Clary explained in a low voice
"Me and Simon were on the run for a year Raphael "owned" me and leaving was gonna come with consequences" Clary explained
"When I knew it was about time for me to be going back to new York I went back to dads house with simon. Dad had cleaned up his act in the 3 years I was gone and he didn't expect to see me on his doorstep at 3 in the morning. He welcomed me with open arms and in those 3 years I had learned to forgive him for what he's done"
"I didn't tell him what happened just that I ran away, met Simon, and that I was living with him ever since."
"Simon didn't move here because his mom and dad got a divorce. He ran away from home with me when he was 16 and he always stayed with or around me because I put him in danger so it was my job to protect him. I had a friend from the gang that ran away because he had enough, he was also a hit man and we kept in touch he lives here in new York and that's where Simon lives with him because when I can't he can protect him"
"Oh my god" Jace spoke up
"What" Clary said
"You're seraphina morgenstern" Jace said
Clary looked at Isabelle "excuse me?" Clary said looking at Jace again
Jace got up as did Clary. He showed her a small brand on his shoulder in the shape of a triangle △.
"What is that" Clary said now gaurded
"That's my initiation "tattoo" well sorta when they found me they didn't think of tattoos, I was branded" Jace explain in a low voice
"Jace" Isabelle said "what's going on"
At that moment a frantic knock came from the front door. Jace went to go open it and Clary wasn't expecting to see who was at the door.
"Jordan?!" Clary said "what are you doing here?"
"We don't have time Clary!" Jordan said "They're coming" Jordan said looking at Jace and Clary "for both of you"
