Clary's point of view

Luke stared at me in amazement and stuttered out "I only had one child with your mum and that was Jessica but Jessica's …"

I interrupted him "Well whatever either Jocelyn or the police told was a lie. Jessica is right here." I gestured to the little girl who was staring at me and Luke as though she hated us talking harshly to each other.

Luke's mouth fell open and he said to Jessica slowly "You're Jessica?"

The girl nodded and said "Hey dad."

Luke grinned now and they both hugged each other which hurt me in a strange way, so I looked away and at Agent Scott who said "Well now that a family reunion has happened can you people please tell me what happened?"

I sighed and told Scott everything about how I found Jessica and when we went to Taki's and well basically everything.

Jace and Jessica backed me up on this story and soon he let all of us go and I waited for everyone else to get out of the room except Luke and Jessica and I asked Luke quietly "When were you going to tell me that I have a half-sister?"

Luke sighed and admitted "I wasn't, I thought that Jessica was dead Clary and before me and your mum thought that you would just be worse if you knew you had a bigger family."

I felt my anger rise again and I snapped "Oh great, is there anymore secret half-siblings I have or has my mum decided that you two are good enough for her now?"

Luke started to speak "Clary your mother…"

I interrupted him again "Oh here we go again. Clary your mother was only trying to protect you. Well look how that turned out Luke. She's made me go through near everything a child shouldn't go through just because she was 'trying to protect me.', great job that she did there wasn't it?"

I walked out of the door letting the door slam shut behind me and leaving Luke staring after me sadly and Jessica just as confused and sad too.

I walked to the garden rooftop and almost threw myself onto the bench that looked out into the city watching all of the people below us rushing and stumbling around the maze like streets of New York.

I sat there watching the skyline for at least an hour before I heard footsteps coming up the stairs.

I sighed and wondered through the rows of plants until I found my midnight flower again.

I knew that it was probably near to midnight so it would only be half an hour at least until it blooms again with its pretty glowing white flower petals.

I heard a clock strike twelve times in the distance and I saw the flower petals begin to shake slightly.

Within seconds most of the flowers around me were lit up by the midnight flower's white glow.

I smiled at the plant and I wondered if I would ever watch or see something so beautiful again.

Soon I would be locked up in my house of complete nightmares and I would have to kill my only family by blood (not counting Jocelyn here) left.

I heard a voice say quietly "Clary? Where are you? I know you're up here; you always travel to high places when you're upset or mad."

I recognised it as Simon's voice so I called back just as quiet "I'm here Si, near the midnight flower."

Simon came into view from around the corner and he soon pulled me into a massive Simon bear hug.

Even Simon's awkward hugs felt more family and home like then Luke or Jocelyn's would do now.

Simon said softly "I don't want you to go back to that place Clary. I almost want to cancel it for you and let both of us go together instead."

I sighed and said "I don't want to go back but we need our director back and I suppose that I'll have to save Jocelyn too whilst I'm at it."

Simon let go of me and asked me curiously "You don't want to save her anyway?"

I shrugged and replied "I don't know Si. Everything I thought I knew about my past life was a complete lie but she also brought me up for seven years so I can't just forget her either. I don't know how I fell about her Si."

Simon nodded and said "That'd be like if my dad was still alive wouldn't it?"

I nodded and leant my head on his shoulder and I said "I wish you could come back with me. It used to be kind of fun trying to climb up the tree the fastest and racing against the horses and each other."

Simon smiled slightly and asked "Do you remember how we met Clary?"

I looked at him as best as I could from his shoulder and answered automatically "Of course I do. You were round my house playing with your sister Becca and I was watching you two play hide and seek, and I tried to make you two jump but I slipped on my branch and I fell on top of you instead."

Simon laughed and said "Interesting first meeting we had huh?"

I smiled and agreed "Yeah, I'm sure most people just see each other in a club and start to make out right?"

Simon grinned and said "I don't know really. I've never done that."

I laughed and said "You've never danced properly at the club and you just wear your jeans and t-shirt so you can't complain, anyway I think that it's mostly the sluts and players who do that and you're neither or them so you haven't done that."

Simon smiled and we started to walk back to the apartments again.

Simon asked me "When are you going to the manor?"

"The day after tomorrow. Though we have to leave here tomorrow to get to a country road nearby and then we'll walk to Texas and get to the manor the next day."

Simon nodded and we walked the rest of the way in silence until we got to my door first and I said "Goodnight Simon Lewis."

Simon smiled sadly as if he knew that it could be my last time to say that to him as he answered back "Goodnight Clarissa Fray."

I tried to smile reassuringly but it came out more forced so I just shut the door behind me.

I walked into the lounge and smiled as best as I could at the Lightwoods before going into the kitchen and getting myself some coffee.

I went straight to my room afterwards and I sat the studying all of the photos I have taken from my whole life.

Ones which included Luke, Jocelyn, Valentine, Jonathan, Simon and all of my other older friends and of course some from Peru a month or so ago now.

I fell to sleep whilst looking at all of these photos and still in my normal clothes and even with my empty coffee mug in my hand.

Jace's point of view

After meeting up with the waitress girl who I can't even remember her name now, I went to go and visit Luke and Jessica as I'm sure that Clary hadn't.

When Luke saw me he smiled and said "Oh hey Jace, come in."

I nodded and walked inside the spare apartment.

Everything was just a plain white; I don't think that it's much different to my room actually.

I saw Jessica sitting on the sofa watching the movie that Luke had put on.

Jessica saw me and she smiled shyly and said "Oh hey Jace. If you're looking for Clary then she's not here."

I nodded and said "That's exactly why I'm here."

Jessica nodded and paused her film before saying "So you and her leave tomorrow right?"

I nodded and said "Yeah, I don't know how to feel about that though."

Jessica smiled sadly and said "Don't worry it'll be fine."

I sighed and said "It must be hard for you two to let Clary go there again."

Luke told me almost bitterly "I have tried to talk sense into her all day but she won't listen to me because she puts all of her hatred and anger to cloud her real emotions so even if she was scared then she hides it with anger to me."

Jessica snapped suddenly "Dad. Don't speak so harshly about her she's had a hard past. It also doesn't help that now she has proof that mum is alive and she never told Clary about me and now I've come along and she has no one to be her family. She thinks that you and mum will be happier with me than you would with her or both of us. So when she thought she had someone she could trust again from her past, she probably now feels neglected and as though she's not worth anything to you or mum anymore. I mean mum ran away and faked her own death, you broke your promises you made to her, her real father is a violent drunk man and her brother was the only one who treated her right and then he went like her dad and now she has orders to kill him as soon as possible as well as go back to the house where she got abused and save mum who tried and failed to protect her and this director guy who she probably likes a lot more than her own family now. So don't blame her for how she acts to you dad."

Luke sighed and tried to explain "I thought she'd be happy with her dad and brother."

Jessica snapped back "Well you didn't check on her like you promised and how would you feel if your step dad or real dad did all of that to you and now you have to kill someone who you once trusted and loved? You would be angry and upset wouldn't you? Well that's what Clary feels but she only lets her anger show to everyone else because she doesn't want to be weak to everyone else so she makes herself lock away all of that sadness and only show anger if she really has to."

Luke sighed and said "Jess you think you understand but…"

"But what? But I'm too young? But I don't understand how it feels like to have everyone I love betray me? You are the one who doesn't understand father, not me, you!" She almost shouted this at Luke who now looked fairly surprised.

Jessica got up and said "I'm going to check on Clary and make sure she hasn't got that angry or upset that she's done something stupid."

With that Jessica then stormed out of the door and down the small corridor to Clary's apartment.

Luke sighed and said "Great now I've messed up two relationships with my family, only one more to go."

I nodded and asked "You promised to Clary that you would take her back with you one day, why didn't you ever try that?"

Luke looked angry and upset as he answered "I tried to fight for her at the start but after her dad won I checked on her nearly every week but after a year I thought that she'd be happy and safe with her real family. But it turns out that it was only for that year she wasn't abused in."

I nodded as I remembered Clary talking to Izzy what seemed like ages ago now when she had said "Both of them were nice and loving to me for the first year I was there…"

I asked Luke "Is that why they never hit her then? Because they knew you would look for her and then after a year or so you'd stop if you thought she was happy."

Luke nodded and said "Probably and I've never forgiven myself since I found that she'd been hurt by them since I stopped, I should have looked but I thought that she'd be finally happy somewhere."

I nodded and I asked more to myself "How long does it take for Jessica to check on someone?"

Luke shrugged lightly and then he got up and went to their apartment so I followed him and at the front door was when we heard Jessica's scream ring through the apartment and hallway.
