On September 12th, 1998, Seraphina Morgenstern, now Fray, waited at the hospital waiting room, for her new sister to be born.
Her mother was in labour for hours and with her is her mother's friend Dot.
Thirty minutes later, a doctor came out of the room her mother was in.
"Congratulations, you have a little sister, dear. Your mother is in her room and she wants to see you." the doctor announced.
Seraphina bounced up from her seat, her braids bouncing up and down.
She ran to her mother's room, with Dot right behind her.
Since the Uprising happened, her mother and her left Idris and now lived in New York.
They live in Tessa's apartment on Greenpoint. She truly loves it there, but that's not to say she misses her father and brother.
Every night she dreams of Jonathan. Each dream different than the other.
"Momma" she said, coming into the room.
She ran to her mother, but slowed down when she saw that her mom was holding a baby in her arms.
"Oh my sweet. Say hello to your sister. What should we name her?" asked Jocelyn.
"Clarissa, momma. I told you before that the baby is 'Rissa. Clarissa Adele, after grandma." smiled Seraphina.
"Clarissa Adele, welcome. Your sister will be there to protect you as you will protect her." smiled Jocelyn, bouncing the little baby in her arms.
One morning, eighteen years later, a nineteen year old Seraphina could be found sketching in her room, with earphones in her ears, bobbing to the rhythm of the song.
The door to her room were thrown open, and Seraphina, now scared, jumped up from her bed when she heard the noise.
"Mom, are you insane? You scared me." yelled Seraphina.
"Oh good, your awake. Time from breakfast. You have to get ready if you want to leave with your sister to her audition." ordered Jocelyn.
"Seriously? I am ready. What's for breakfast?" she asked as she left her sketchpad on her bed and looked at the mirror.
"For you, oat meal with chocolate chips." Jocelyn said flabbergasted at how her daughter could eat that every morning.
"Good" said Seraphina, looking at herself in the mirror.
Her mom came to stand beside her, putting her hand on Seraphina's shoulder and looked at the mirror.
Everytime Jocelyn saw her daughter, she was reminded of Valentine and Jonathan. Seraphina was so much like her father in looks, with blonde hair, Valentine's mouth and high cheekbones, but with her emerald green eyes, while Clary was all her.
Seraphina was wearing dark blue skinny jeans, black crop top and black high heel boots.
The first time Jocelyn took Clary and Seraphina to the warlock Magnus, Seraphina begged and pleaded to not erase her memories, she wanted to remember her father and brother.
But Jocelyn didn't listen. Magnus erased both of their memories.
But what Jocelyn doesn't know is that Seraphina's memories were not erased.
Seraphina, being a reborn soul, simply couldn't forget those things. Only Death can make her forget.
Seraphina, knowing about the Shadow World, begged her mother on her 8th birthday to sign up for martial arts classes, which Jocelyn readily agreed to.
Since then she trained so hard, untill finally, one day, she earned her black belt.
Now, outside of Brooklyn Academy of Arts, Seraphina could be found waiting for Clary.
She was texting her boyfriend Mark to meet her at Java Jones in an hour.
With the text sent, Seraphina saw a familiar face.
"Alec?" she wispered.
Down on the street, the man in question could be found turning around after hearing his name thanks to his hearing rune.
Alec turned around and saw a familiar girl. His memories of them hanging out and him proclaiming her his wife bombarded his mind.
Alec realised who that blonde haired girl was. His best friend since childhood, Seraphina Morgenstern. But then he also realised that she is Valentine's daughter.
Alec in that moment didn't care.
He deactivated his invisibility rune and walked over to her saying "Seraphina, is that you?"
"It's me, Alec. My husband." laughed Seraphina, hugging him.
"What, how, what are you doing here?" asked Alec.
"Well, mom left father after the Uprising. My brother died in the fire, but I don't truly believe that they are both dead. And now I am waiting for my little sister to finish up with her audition." explained Seraphina.
A few hours later Seraphina could be found walking home with Clary.
After her talk with Alec, Clary came out of the building, showing her the letter that said 'CONGRATULATIONS'.
She hugged Clary and congratulated her, telling her that dad would've been proud of her.
Now, Clary knows nothing of the shadow world, their father, brother.
She thinks their father was a soldier who died.
Seraphina never agreed with Jocelyn lying to Clary, to her, but she couldn't say anything, Jocelyn would know that her memories were not erased.
As they walked in their home, they saw Dot.
"Hey, Dot." they said, as Seraphina went over to hug her.
"Hey" greeted back Dot.
"How's your future looking?" asked Clary, looking at her, while Seraphina moved to check the cards.
While both of them were talking, Seraphina saw the card 'The Ace of Cups', to her known as the card that holds The Mortal Cup.
As she moved to touch the card, the card flew to her palm.
She quickly looked at Clary, to see if she saw that. Fortunantly, Clary was oblivious.
Her hand turned the card over and as she did, she blacked out.
In her mind, Seraphina could see the Angel Raziel creating the Nephilim, she could see how Jonathan Shadowhunter first transitioned in to a Nephilim.
"My child, be calm." said a voice in her mind.
Seraphina jerked her head, spooked, and looked around trying to spot where the voice came from.
Slowly, the figure presented itself to her.
"Be calm, my child. I have been waiting for you."
"Who are you?" asked Seraphina.
The figure laughed and Seraphina looked up. She could see a man with big Angel wings. His figure was blinding, but to Seraphina it was normal.
"I am the father of the Angels. I am what the mortals call God." said the man.
Seraphina, now speachless, tried to think of something to say.
"My child, this is not your second life. In your first life, your were my Goddess. You are the mother of the Angels. And as now you are here, as a Nephilim, on your 20th birthday, you will become a true Goddess, once more."
Shocked, Seraphina answered with the only thing she could think of. "What?"
The man, now known as God, smiled and ran his hand through her hair. "We will see each other soon. Be patient, my love."
"Go up and see your mom." she heard Dot say as she opened her eyes.
Seraphina quickly put the card back, and went over to her "Love you, Dot." she said, kissing her on her cheek.
"Love you, too, Seph." she answered back.
I will be posting part two of this chapter tomorrow. Don't want this chapter to be too long.
