Sebastian

Jace and I walked hand in hand down towards the table where my mom, Luke, and my so called brother sat. Since he was facing towards us, I saw that... my brother had blonde hair - bleached unlike Jace's golden- with dark brown eyes and an angular face with high cheekbones and red lips. My brother, Sebastian Morgensten, did look like me but I still wouldn't believe that he was my brother until I got a reason, story, and maybe a birth certificate as well.

Morgensten. That was my father's last name, Valentine Morgensten, that was the last name on my birth certificate. I loved Valentine very much even if he could give us some... tough love at times. It was still hard for me to talk about my father, his death; a car accident which happened just over a year ago that I was in- was very hard on my mother and I.

And apparently my brother too, and I would of helped him if I had known about Sebastian Morgensten.

We approached the table, Jace and I slid into the booth across from my mother and Sebastian. Luke wasn't there, which I guessed was a good thing but I was still upset that he wasn't with them.

"Hello, Clary." My mother started with an odd sense of properness.

"Mom." I replied, anger swelling inside me as I looked at her familiar red hair.

"Hi, Jocelyn." Jace said, polite for once.

"Jace, it's very nice to see you again. Are you doing well?" Jocelyn smiled pleasantly at my boyfriend.

"Very well," Jace nodded, "Don't worry, I'm keeping Clary out of trouble. And Izzy would kill me if I ever hurt her."

My mother laughed, "Great. I'm happy to hear that."

I sent Jace a glare, this was my meeting not his. Jace nodded, moving his arm behind me with his hand loosely hanging off my shoulder. "Mom. Is this Sebastian?" I moved my eyes over to the other blonde haired older boy.

"Yes. Clary, I'd like to formally introduce you to your brother, Sebastian. Sebastian this is Clary, Clary this is Sebastian." She waved her hand in greeting between us.

Sebastian gave me a crooked smile, "Hi sister, I'm sorry we had to meet like this."

"Hello." I replied patiently, "Would you mind if we talked in private? I need to ask you some questions." But more so, I need answers.

"Of course." My brother nodded and after Jace let me out of the booth, Sebastian and I walked over to an empty table with only two seats.

We sat down across from one another. I could feel both my mothers green eyes and Jace's golden eyes burning holes in the back of my head, but this was my brother that I needed to talk to.

"Did you know about me?" I asked, eyes narrowed. "Or did my mother lie to both of us?"

Sebastian's dark eyes met mine evenly, "I heard my father talk about you a few times. I suppose I knew of you, but I didn't know that we were related. He loved you very much, Clary."

"I know that." I answered a little to quickly. "Are you positive that you are my brother?"

Sebastian nodded, "One hundred percent positive."

I rose my eyebrows and Sebastian smiled.

"We can take a blood test, I can show you our old family photos, or I can show you my birth certificate if that's what you would like."

"We'll get to that later." I said and Sebastian laughed. "You look like him, my father."

He smiled wistfully, "Our father and yes I know, I've heard." His head cocked in the direction of my... our mother.

"When did you met her?" I asked glancing over at Jocelyn and away.

"Much like how I heard about you, Valentine would talk about her - much more than he would talk about you actually." Sebastian laughed uncomfortably, "I remember seeing her at five, then again at eight, nine, fourteen, and the last time I saw her I was sixteen. I am eighteen now." He supplied, "We got in touch after Valentine died. For the last year I have been living with Amatis- Luke's sister- and then one day Jocelyn called and told me to come live with you guys. That was yesterday."

"Luke has a sister?!" I half screeched.

Sebastian paused, "Yes... you didn't know that?"

"No!" I yelped, "No, I did not know that!"

A hand was suddenly placed on my shoulder, my head whipped around and I saw that it was Jace. With my mother behind him, I immediately whirled on her.

"Luke has a sister?" I repeated, fulling yelling now.

"Clary, please don't yell. Yes, her name is Amatis and she lives in Pennsylvania. We didn't want to tell you because-"

"Mom! What else have you not told me?" I asked.

My mother flinched, "I believe that's it."

"Why didn't you tell me?" I yelled, feeling my anger start to wash into sadness.

"Clary," Sebastian's voice came from behind me, "I think she was only trying to protect you."

"From what?" I asked whirling on him.

"I, uh, I don't know." Sebastian took a step back, "Valentine never liked Luke."

"How did you know about Luke?" I glared at him.

Sebastian shrugged, "I always heard father yelling about someone called Luke, he was always very angry. I can only imagine why..." His brown eyes looked at Jocelyn.

Valentine thought that Luke was stealing Jocelyn away. I supplied in my own head. Then, I shrugged internally after all, it probably was true.

"Clary, please don't be angry with me." Jocelyn stepped towards me. But, before I could reply Jace stepped between us.

"I think that Clary needs some time to think." Jace, oddly, was the voice of reason, "Why don't I take her back to school so she can calm down?"

Jocelyn looked from Jace to me several times, eventually she nodded, "I suppose that's a good idea."

"Can I come?" Sebastian asked. We all looked back at him, "I think that Clary and I should have some time to bond. Plus, if I am going to join her at school, I need to tour her school, don't I?"

"Yes, you can go." Jocelyn nodded harshly, "Clary can drive you home or I can come get you, either way just call me." I could tell she was about to leave, but before she could I side-stepped Jace and handed her an envelope.

"Here," I gave it to her.

"What is this?" She asked, looking confused.

"A check," I replied before I could say otherwise, "For three million dollars, the money I told you about. Remember?"

"Clary..." She was about to hug me, but I stepped back bumping into Jace's chest, "Thank you." Jocelyn said, giving us a quick goodbye before she exited the restaurant.

I took a deep breath, "Alright. Come on." I told the two boys behind me, we exited the restaurant as well and, after getting past the paparazzi, we got to my car and I was on my way.

"Clary?" Jace asked from the back seat, "It's fifteen minutes until your tattoo appointment, we should probably go straight there."

"You're getting a tattoo?" Sebastian asked, looking over at me from the passenger seat.

"Yes, an Olympic rings tattoo." I shrugged and turned on a road that lead to the tattoo shop, "I drew it up."

"I have it right here." Jace pulled the folded sheet of paper out of his pocket.

"Cool," Sebastian nodded, "I have one, on my arm, for dad's death." Sebastian pulled up his sleeve to show us a cross with the word 'DAD' over it and my fathers birthday.

"That's amazing." I said, glancing at it and then looking back at the road. "I think I'm going to get mine over my ankle."

"Over your ankle? I thought you were getting it on your foot." Jace replied, looking confused.

"I was going to," I nodded, "but then I heard about how painful getting a tattoo on your foot is."

They both laughed, "That's true, I have heard it is very painful." Sebastian said.

I nodded as we parked in the lot of the tattoo place. We got out and after I made sure that I had everything I needed, we entered the tattoo shop. Then, we waiting in the waiting room for about ten minutes before my artist, Tony, walked out.

He, like all the tattoo artist in America, was covered in beautiful tattoos. He was tall and muscular with a shaved head, his eyes were brown like Sebastian's but not like Sebastian's at all. Tony looked older than twenty-five but younger than thirty, he had a smile on his face as he walked towards me.

"Hello, I assume you're Clary." Tony held his hand out for me to shake.

"Yes, I am." I replied shaking his hand, "And you're Tony?"

"That's me. So you want an Olympic rings tattoo above your ankle, right?" I nodded to his question, "And I was told you drew something out."

"I did." I nodded.

Jace handed me the piece of paper and I passed it to Tony. On the sheet of paper was: Olympic rings in there five colors, with London 2012 above it in black, and around it was an open wreath with some space just to add other Olympic games if I went to them. I told Tony exactly what I wanted and he started to write around the sheet of paper.

"You're a good artist." Tony commented after five minutes of talking.

"Thank you, but I hardly drew anything." I replied.

Tony shook his head, "True, but you would be surprised about how bad of artists I get coming in here. This one girl came in once, sweet girl, she wanted a dog and her drawing looked liked a bunny having sex with a pencil."

We all laughed, "Are you serious?" Sebastian asked.

"Totally serious." Tony replied, "Come on back and we'll get started."

Tony led us down the hall and into a room with some seats and a dentist-looking chair to which I sat in. We all sat down in our seats.

"Alright, I'll be back in a few minutes with a stencil of this. Sit tight." Tony said and walked down the hall again.

Jace scooted his chair with wheels closer to me and grabbed my hand, "I can't believe that you are getting a tattoo before I am."

I rose my eyebrows, "What you think I'm not going to go through with it?"

"No," Jace shook his head and whispered in my ear, "It's very hot."

I blushed, looking around at Sebastian to make sure he didn't hear us. My brother just seemed very interested in the different color inks that Tony set out.

I was mildly surprised how well Sebastian and I were getting along. It was as if we had known each other forever, we just clicked. Almost how Jace and I clicked, but in a completely different way. After all, Jace was my boyfriend and Sebastian was my brother. I shooed that thought away viciously and turned my attention back on Jace.

He was smiling at me wistfully, "One of my favorite traits of yours is how easily you can get lost in your mind."

I blushed deeper, "Thank you."

"What's your favorite trait of mine?" Jace asked, smiling beautiful. His gold eyes shimmering.

"I like your hair, but that's not really a characteristic." I offered, Jace smiled and kissed my forehead as Tony walked back in the room.

Tony went on to say what was going to happen. When he told me about, it didn't sound like it was going to hurt at all, I knew it was, but Tony was just confident and sure of himself in a way that wasn't arrogant.

When the actual tattoo started it wasn't that bad, in some areas it hurt; like around the bone and in tender areas. But overall, it didn't hurt that bad and in the end it looked great and after a few hugs and several thank you's we exited the parlor and made our way back to school. Because I was sure that everyone wanted to meet my mysterious new brother.

A/N: Thanks for reading! I think like 2 chapters left! Also I've been wanting to write a new story about how Clary is a shadowhunter and Jace is a mundane. Valentine and Sebastian are evil and they can teleport Clary to them whenever they want to. She hates them both. If you can think of names to call this story please tell me, I'm really blank and how to title it! haha
