As soon as Simon walked into his house his mother shouted from the kitchen. "Dinners ready". I can do this Simon thought to himself on repeat. He walked into the kitchen and saw his sister sitting at the table and his mom in the kitchen putting their dinner onto coughed and said
"I have something I have to tell you" but it came out as a mumble.
"What did you say?" His mother said leaning over so she could hear him.
"I need to tell you something, you might want to sit down" Simon said motioning over to the table.
His mother went and sat down next to his sister and Simon sat opposite them both.
"What is it?" His sister asked.
"Well I have to tell you someday so it mays well be today" Simon said before taking a deep breath.
"I'm ascending to become a shadowhunter" He looked over at his mother who just looked confused.
"What do you mean, what's a shadowhunter?" Simon looked for an answer.
"Shadowhunters are the people who protect the world from demons and other evil things. They are part angel part human and I used to be a part of their world before I lost my memories. They're back now. I remember all of my friends who are shadowhunters, my girlfriend. Its just... I don't know how to explain that this is real, that this stuff does exist" Simon stopped feeling himself go bright red.
His family must think he was crazy. He then had a thought. "Be back in a second" He ran out of the room leaving his mom and sister looking stunned. He fumbled around in his pocket to find his phone and he texted Clary.
Hey can you please come over
A few minutes later his phone rang.
"Hey why do you want me to come over?" Clary asked sounding confused.
"Izzy told me to tell my family about ascension and I need some way to prove that shadowhunters are real" Simon said. It took Clary a few minutes to reply.
"I'm on my way, this is important" She said before she hung up.
Simon walked into the kitchen to see his mother and sister sitting whispering.
"Simon do you feel all right?" His sister asked not making eye contact.
"I'm not crazy if that's what you mean" He said before sitting back down. It was silent until the doorbell rang about 5 minutes later. Wow she's fast Simon thought as he ran to the front door. Clary was standing with Jace on the front step.
"Jace refused to stay at the institute so I brought him" Clary said before Simon could say anything.
"Its fine just come with me" He said leading them both to the kitchen.
"Thanks by the way" he said before they entered. When they walked in they all went and sat down at the table.
"This is Jace and Clary, they are shadowhunters" He said to his mom and sister.
"Hi Miss Lewis Simon is telling the truth about us look" Clary said as she took out her stele and drew a rune on her arm. It was a glamour so she disappeared to anyone who didn't have the sight. Simon's mother went pale.
"How did you..." She began to say before the sentence trailed off into silence. Clary removed the glamour and looked over at Simon.
"Can you give us a minute" Simon whispered to Clary and Jace. Clary nodded and dragged Jace out of the room behind her
"Shadowhunters use runes that give them special abilities, after I ascend I'll be able to as well" He said. "Do you believe me?" He asked his mom and sister.
"I think I do" Rebecca, his sister said looking gob smacked. Simon's mom didn't say anything just walked round the table and put her arms around Simon.
"I believe you" She said.
"When I ascend I will have to go and live in the institute, that's this huge building that looks like a church" Simon said as his mother went and sat back down.
"How long?" His sister asked. "How long till you ascend?" Simon replied.
"My ascensions in 1 month" He said.
"And are you ready?" She asked.
"Pretty much" He said with a small smile. His mother asked
"Is it dangerous, being a shadowhunter?" Simon answered very carefully
"As long as I have the proper knowledge and the proper training it shouldn't be so bad. Anyway I have friends who can help me" he said motioning to the door where Clary and Jace had dissapeared.
"I'll give you a few minutes for that to soak in" He said leaving through the same door. They both nodded. When he went through the door he saw Clary and Jace sitting on the sofa whispering. As soon as Clary saw him she stood up and ran to hug him.
"How did it go, do they believe you?" She asked.
"They believe me, thanks for coming, they would think I was crazy otherwise" he said with a sigh of relief pulling away from Clary.
"That's good" Jace said coming over to take Clarys hand in his own. "Now that you've told them you don't have to worry about leaving them behind, you can come and see them whenever" Simon smiled.
"You guys can go if you want" he said.
"You sure" Clary asked with a look of concern.
"Yeah you have stuff to do" Clary and Jace smiled and said goodbye as they left. Simon went back into the kitchen and saw his mom and sister smiling over at him.
"So you really believe me now" He asked.
"Yeah and you look happy with your choice so we are happy for you" His mother said as he came to sit down beside her.
"Now, food" His sister said and he laughed as they began to eat. Simon smiled and talked about what being a shadowhunter would mean while they ate and his mom and sister listened very well, nodding when he asked if they understood.
Simon went to bed that night with a smile on his face, they know, now I don't have to lie anymore! He thought to himself as he fell asleep.
