Chapter 1: Accidents
Ten years ago...
"What's for lunch mom?" Eight year old, Mia O'Connell asked, skipping into the kitchen of her family's brownstone in Brooklyn, her five year old brother Sam clutching her arm.
Dorothy O'Connell turned around, spatula in her hand, but stopped in shock when she saw her daughter, the spatula clanging to the floor.
"What's the matter mom?" Mia asked, confused.
Little Sam grinned and rocked back and forth on his feet. "Look at Mia's eyes mommy. Aren't they pretty?"
"Oh sweet Jesus!" Mrs. O' Connell exclaimed, staring at the purple eyes, purple hair tips, and purple horns protruding from the head of her daughter. "I've created a monster. Robert! Robert! Come quick!"
Mia looked around confused, pulling Sam closer to her. "Mom. I'm scared, what's going on?"
"You monster!" Mrs. O'Connell scowled. "Get away from him demon." She yelled, pulling Sam closer to her, who began to cry.
"I want Mia! I want Mia!" The five year old cried, shaking.
Robert O'Connell ran into the kitchen, but stopped dead in his tracks when he spotted his eight year old daughter. "Get out of her demon. Release my daughter." He cried, pointing his finger at Mia, and reaching out to slap her.
Mia began to shake from her spot in the kitchen, as her eyes slowly turned from purple to red. With one last cry, she struck out with all the magic she had in her, incinerating her parents where they stood, and lighting the brownstone on fire. The last thing Mia remembered, before blacking out, was launching across the kitchen and taking Sam in her arms, hoping to protect him from the raging inferno.
When Luke Garroway pulled up to the brownstone, ten minutes later, the only thing remaining among the ashes was one little eight year old girl, clutching a five year old boy in her arms. "Do you know what happened?" He asked his partner of five years, and fellow werewolf, Alaric Rodriguez.
"No. But I'm guessing she's a Downworlder, probably a warlock, who's glamored herself and the little boy, most likely her brother, since the mundane cops don't seem to notice her." Alaric said, as the two of them headed towards the ashes of the former brownstone.
Luke ducked underneath the police tape and cautiously approached the young girl, not wanting to startle her. "Hi, I'm Luke. What's your name?" He asked as she raised her head, still holding onto the boy, revealing her purple eyes, hair and horns, an obvious warlock mark.
"I'm Mia O'Connell, and this is my brother Sam." She said, as the little boy clutched to her and whimpered. "I'm afraid I did something bad."
Luke gently placed a hand on her arm. "I'm going to take care of you now Mia. I'm like you." He reassured her, his eyes momentarily flashing green. "Whatever happened, it's not your fault. How would you feel about going to a new home?"
"I would like that." She said, nodding and slowly standing up. "But I don't want to be separated from Sam."
"You won't be." Luke assured her. "I'm going to take you two to my friend Jocelyn's, where you'll live. She has a daughter Clary, who's your age. And then I'll take you to my friend Magnus Bane. He's a warlock like you, and he'll help you control your magic, so you don't hurt anyone ever again."
Mia nodded and slowly stood up, taking Luke's hand as she did. Luke turned to Alaric. "I'm going to take little Mia and Sam here. Will you cover for me?"
Alaric nodded. "I'll do the best I can."
Luke led the two children back to the police car and got into the driver's seat, before heading down the road towards Jocelyn's.
Fifteen minutes later, Luke pulled up outside the brownstone in Brooklyn that belonged to Jocelyn and Clary Fray. "Wait here, I'll go get my friend." He told Mia and Sam, before hoping out of the car and approaching the apartment door. The front door opened to reveal not Jocelyn, but Jocelyn's daughter, Clary.
"Uncle Luke!" Clary announced excitedly, launching into his arms. "What are you doing here?" She asked, smiling up at him.
Luke grinned before slowly peeling the little girl off of him. "Not that I'm excited to see you Clary, but I need to talk to your mother. Do you know where she is?"
"She's in the kitchen." Clary said smiling, and skipped into the apartment, with Luke following close behind.
Jocelyn Fray looked up when the two entered. "Luke." She said in surprise. "What are you doing here?"
Luke grabbed her by the arm, and took her into the hallway, before turning to his friend. "I was hoping you would take in a eight year old warlock girl and her brother."
"What?" Jocelyn asked, confused. "What happened?"
"I was called to a fire in Brooklyn half an hour ago." Luke told her. "When I got there, the only thing left among the ashes was a little warlock girl who was clutching her brother in her arms. She had glamored herself, so only Alaric and I could see her. She's an orphan Jocelyn, and I want her to go to someone I trust."
Jocelyn nodded. "Of course I'll take them in. Is the little boy a warlock too?"
"If he is, he hasn't got his warlock mark yet." Luke told her. "I'm going to go get Sam from the car and then bring Mia to Magnus'. He'll help her control her magic, and teach her how to glamor herself."
The two former Shadowhunters exited the house and headed outside. Luke pulled open the passenger door causing the two children to look up at him. "Sam, you're going to stay here with Jocelyn while I take Mia to see my friend, Magnus Bane." He told them, crouching down to their level.
Mia grabbed Luke by the hand, as Jocelyn pulled Sam out of the car and began to walk back into the house. "We're coming back right? I'm going to see my brother again?"
"We're coming back." Luke reassured her. "I'm not separating you two, ever. Now let's go see Magnus." He told her, hopping into the front seat.
Ten minutes later, Luke stopped the car outside of a large brownstone in the heart of Chinatown, before getting out and opening the door for Mia.
"Why are we going here?" Mia asked, clutching Luke's hand as they boarded the elevator.
Luke smiled down at the little girl who had quickly latched onto him. "Magnus is a warlock like you Mia. He's going to teach you how to control your powers, so you never hurt anyone ever again."
The elevator dinged open on the third floor and Luke led Mia down the hallway, before stopping outside a door and knocking sharply. After a few seconds, the door opened, revealing a tall Asian man with a glittery jacket on and a cocktail in his hand.
"Well who is this?" He asked, turning to Mia.
"This is Mia." Luke informed him. "She's a warlock. May we come in?"
Magnus nodded and stepped aside, allowing the two to enter his loft. "So what can I do for you?" He asked, leading them into his living room.
"Do you wanna tell Magnus here what happened?" Luke asked, turning to Mia. "That way he can help you."
Mia nodded, before removing the glamor and starting to speak, quiet at first. "My little brother Sam noticed my purple eyes, hair, and horns this morning when they appeared. He thought they were so pretty so we went to tell mommy and daddy." She began to tear up as she got to this point in the story, and Luke gently rubbed her back. "She started screaming at me, and pulled Sam from my arms, claiming to not want a demon infecting her son. My daddy came in and started yelling as well. He went to hit me and I struck out with all the magic in me. My parents burned up in smoke and the building caught on fire. The last thing I remembered before everything went dark was grabbing Sam in my arms and trying to protect him. When I woke up, Mr. Luke was there."
"It's going to be okay pumpkin." Magnus told her, pulling her into a hug. "When I was a little older than you, I did the same thing. But I'm going to help you control your magic, the way the Silent Brothers helped me, so you never hurt anyone again, okay."
Mia nodded and stood up before facing Magnus. "When do we start?"
By the time Mia and Luke left Magnus' loft, it was ten at night, and Mia was starting to fall asleep on her feet.
"It's been a long day. She's just exhausted." Luke told Magnus, scooping Mia up into his arms, who promptly curled up, clutching his arm. "We'll be back tomorrow."
Magnus nodded. "I understand. The important thing is she knows how to glamor herself now. I'll see you tomorrow pumpkin." He told the sleepy Mia, as Luke exited the loft.
"Where are we going Mr. Luke?" Mia asked sleepily as they rode back down the elevator.
"Back to Jocelyn's." Luke told her. "Where we dropped your brother off earlier. Jocelyn has a daughter your age named Clary. I'm sure you two will get along just fine. And tomorrow, we can go get you some clothes of your own, before we go to Magnus'. But this is important Mia, I want you to pay attention."
Mia nodded as Luke placed her on the ground, facing up at him.
"You can't show your warlock mark to anyone besides Magnus, Jocelyn, me, and Jocelyn's assistant Dot okay." Luke told her. "You understand that?" Mia nodded, prompting him to continue. "You can't even show Clary or Sam. It's for your own protection. There are some big bad people in the world who want to hurt you, simply because you're different, just like your parents."
Mia nodded in understanding. "I understand Mr. Luke."
"Good." Luke said, grinning. "Let's get you home." He told her as they climbed into the police car and headed towards Jocelyn's.
Ten minutes later, Luke's car pulled to a stop outside Jocelyn's brownstone and led Mia up the steps towards the door. This time, when he knocked, it was Jocelyn who opened the door instead of Clary.
"Be quiet." She whispered as she led the two inside. "Sam and Clary are already asleep. Hi Mia, I'm Jocelyn." She told the girl, crouching down to her level. "I think you'll like it here."
Jocelyn led the two down the hallway, stopping outside an open door. "This is going to be your new room Mia. You can go bed and we can make sure to get you new clothes tomorrow." She told the young warlock, before kissing her on the head and shutting the door behind her.
"Are you sure you're up for this Jocelyn?" Luke asked, as the two former Shadowhunters headed back into the living room. "You're a single mother raising three children."
Jocelyn smiled and put her hand on Luke's arm. "I'll be fine. I have you, Magnus and Dot to help me out. Mia and Sam have been through so much today, they should have a good home."
"Thank you Jocelyn." Luke told her as he headed for the door. "I'll be by tomorrow."
"Goodbye Luke!" Jocelyn called, as he headed for the car, waving goodbye as he went.
Five years ago...
"What's going on?" Mia asked confused. The second she had stepped into Magnus' apartment for her magic training, she became face to face with Dot, Jocelyn, Luke, and Magnus.
"Sit down pumpkin." Magnus told her, leading her to the sofa. "It's time we explained something to you."
"Years ago, I met a man by the name of Valentine Morgenstern." Jocelyn told her. "He was kind, charming and charismatic. I believed he wanted to help the Downworld, and so did Luke."
"We weren't the only ones to join his group, called The Circle." Luke told her. "Many prominent Shadowhunters did as well. Now, this was in a time before I became a werewolf, when I was still a Shadowhunter, like Jocelyn. I trusted Valentine so much that I became his parabatai, and Jocelyn married him. But Valentine had other motives, he wanted to rid the world of not only demons, but all Downworlders. He became so sadistic, that I turned on him and he did the worst thing he could do, he betrayed the parabatai bound and set a werewolf on me. Everyone I knew from my previous life turned their back on me, except Jocelyn."
Jocelyn sighed. "I discovered that he was planning to attack when all the Downworlders came to sign the Accords. It was a massacre of both Downworlders and Shadowhunters. I barely made it out with my life, and Valentine vanished. I fled to New York City with Luke, when I was eight months pregnant with Clary. There, I met Dot and tried to raise Clary like a mundane. But when she was six years old, I realized she had the Sight. So I went to Magnus."
"Jocelyn had me take away all Clary's memories of the Shadow World," Magnus said sighing. "And we became friends. Three years later, Luke found you and your brother."
"We're telling you this, because we believe you deserve to know the truth." Jocelyn told her. "But you can't tell Clary, not until she's eighteen. I want her to live a normal life for a while."
Mia nodded. "I understand. And I'm glad that you trust me with this information. I won't tell Clary."
"Good." Magnus said, grinning. "Now time for your training."
"You seem lost in thought." Raphael noted that evening as the two walked along the Brooklyn streets. "Is something bothering you?"
Mia sighed. "Just something Jocelyn and Luke told me today about their past. But I'm thinking more about Clary."
"Your sister?" Raphael asked, confused. "What about her?"
Mia gestured all around them. "She's a part of this Raphael. She's a Nephilim. But I'm not allowed to tell her anything until she turns eighteen. What if she hates me for it, hates me for lying?"
"She won't hate you." Raphael assured her. "She's your sister. She loves you."
Mia nodded. "I know but at the same time, I'm a Downworlder, she's a Shadowhunter. Our species aren't meant to interact. Clary will one day kill demons, and I'm half-demon. Even Magnus, with the amount of people he's dated in his life has one rule, never date a Shadowhunter. It's not in her blood to interact."
"You are correct." Raphael agreed. "But I've met Jocelyn, you know she doesn't feel that way. And Clary is Jocelyn's daughter. I'm sure she'll feel differently, especially since she has been raised as a mundane, and not with the Clave's view of right and wrong."
"Thank you Raphael." Mia said, smiling. "I'm not sure what I would do without you."
Raphael grinned. "I don't know, you'd be awfully lonely. Now race you to the Jade Wolf? And no portals!" He called after her as Mia took off running, before grinning and using his vampire speed to run away.
Present day...
"Where are we even going?" Clary asked in excitement as she joined Maureen, Simon and Mia in Simon's van.
Maureen grinned. "It's a surprise for your birthday. Just trust us."
"Yeah," Mia agreed. "When has anything bad ever happened?"
But inside, she was panicking. When Maureen and Simon had first suggested Pandemonium, it had seemed like a good idea. Except for the fact that it was run by Magnus, and catered to a lot of Shadow World customers. Even so, she knew there was nothing that could go wrong at a club run by Magnus, who would certainly keep an eye out for them. Except for the news that Luke and Jocelyn had delivered this morning, Valentine was back and he was searching for the Mortal Cup. Even so, Luke and Jocelyn had told her to go, so that she could watch out for Clary. But something still seemed off. Pushing her panic down, Mia put on a smile, her friends oblivious to her inner struggle.
"We're here." Simon called, ten minutes later as he pulled into a parking spot outside the club. Running around to Clary's side door, he helped her out, before grabbing her hand and running towards the line, Clary giggling as they went.
Maureen and Mia glanced at each other, before rolling their eyes and following their oblivious friends.
Mia glanced around, as her friends talked, eyes peeled for any sign of demons. Suddenly, something caught her eye, three young Shadowhunters, about her age, headed towards the club. And Clary was walking straight towards them. Mia sighed, waiting for the inevitable collision that Clary would never notice. Instead, Mia's eyes widened as she watched Clary bump into the male Shadowhunter, before looking at him in disgust.
"Hey, can you watch where you're going?" She scowled.
The Shadowhunter looked completely caught off guard. "You can see me?"
"Yeah, that's kind of the point, but you obviously didn't see me." Clary continued, not aware of the ramifications of what just happened.
The Shadowhunter still looked confused. "You have the Sight."
"Wait, the what?" Clary asked, confused now.
"How can I not know who you are?" The Shadowhunter commented, more to himself now.
"Has that line seriously ever worked for you? Even once?" Clary asked, still pissed off.
One of the other Shadowhunters appeared. "Jace!" He called and the Shadowhunter, Jace, disappeared inside the club.
Clary turned back to the three of them. "Can you guys believe that blonde dude?" She asked, not aware that neither Simon nor Maureen could see him.
"You mean the imaginary dude you were talking to?" Simon asked, confused.
"No, the guy right there, running into the club." Clary insisted.
"Clary, there's nobody there." Maureen told her.
Clary looked at them oddly. "The guy covered in tats, like—"
"What guy are you talking about?" Simon asked her.
"You guys seriously don't see him?" Clary asked them.
"No." Maureen told her, Mia nodding her head and playing along.
"Okay, could you stop making me feel insane?" Clary pleaded.
Maureen sighed. "Could you stop acting that way?"
Simon looked at her concerned. "Clary, what was in your latte?" Clary sighed and turned around, running into the club. "Where are you going?" Simon called after her.
"To get some answers." Clary responded.
"Remember, your fake ID sucks." Simon reminded her.
Mia rolled her eyes and followed her adopted sister into the club. If Clary insisted on going into a demon club run by Mia's warlock mentor to chase some Shadowhunter, she would be damned if she let Clary do it alone. Not knowing what else to do, Maureen and Simon ran after her.
As soon as they entered the club, Simon turned toward them. "I'm gonna go fail at getting us some birthday drinks."
"I'm gonna go fail with you." Maureen agreed.
"Do you want some... Clary!" Simon called, but Clary had already followed the Shadowhunters into the club.
Mia slipped away from her mundane friends, determined to stop Clary before she did something stupid. But before Mia could go find her, someone else found her.
"Mia!" Magnus called out, making the younger warlock stop in her tracks. "What are you doing here?"
Mia sighed and ran back towards her mentor. "Simon and Maureen, two of my mundane friends, insisted on taking Clary here for her eighteenth birthday. I couldn't exactly refuse by telling them it was a demon club, so Jocelyn and Luke had me go to watch out for them. The only problem is, Clary has the Sight. She spotted some Shadowhunter and followed him. I'm trying to catch up to her."
"Clary's protections must have worn off." Magnus commented. "She's eighteen now. I take it Jocelyn hasn't told her yet?"
Mia shook her head. "They were going to, but Simon and Clary insisted we had to get going. Jocelyn also warned me, Valentine is back."
"I'm aware. I had to chase some Circle members out right before you showed up." Magnus told her. "But if Clary is with the Nephilim, she'll be fine. I'm just concerned how she'll take this."
Before Mia could say anything, Clary burst out of the room next to them. "Clary!" Mia called, but her adopted sister ignored her and continued on her way.
"Damn it." A voice called, and the Shadowhunter from before came out of the room, followed by the other two Shadowhunters with him and continued towards where Clary had left.
"I have to go back." Mia told Magnus. "No doubt Clary headed towards home. I need to be there when Jocelyn tells her the truth."
Magnus nodded. "You can use the back alley to portal. Just be careful, Valentine might come for Jocelyn."
"I will." Mia told her mentor before heading out the back, portaling away before anyone could notice her leave.
"Mia." Jocelyn said in surprise. "I thought you were out with Simon, Maureen and Clary all night."
Mia shook her head. "Change of plans. When we were at Pandemonium, three young Shadowhunters, my age, showed up. Clary had the Sight. She went after them and I went to follow her but I was stopped by Magnus. He said he had to chase Circle members out of the club before I showed up. I think Clary saw the Shadowhunters fight a demon. She's coming back here, so I used the back alley behind Pandemonium to portal here."
Jocelyn sighed. "I want you to go Magnus'. Lay low for a while. I'll send Sam to stay with Luke. If Clary is coming back here, I want it to just be me that tells her the news. She's going to have a lot thrown at her and learning her sister is a warlock may be too much at once. Besides, if Valentine does find us, I don't want you to be here. You know his attitude towards Downworlders."
"I will." Mia assured her, before giving Jocelyn one last hug and heading out to the back alley to portal to Pandemonium.
"Mia." Magnus said in surprise, as she came in through the back door. "I thought you were going to Jocelyn's.
Mia nodded. "I did. But Jocelyn wanted me back here. She said Clary is going to have enough to deal with in one night, without the knowledge that I'm a warlock as well. Also, if you're right and Valentine does find them, me being there is a bad idea. You know how he feels about Downworlders."
Before Magnus could say anything, a man came towards him. "I thought I told you and your Circle friends to get out." Magnus told him. "Don't make me say it again."
The Circle member simply grinned. "Tell your friend Jocelyn Fairchild that we know where she is, and we're coming for her."
Magnus growled under his breath, as one of the other warlocks hustled the man out the door. Mia's face went pale. "What do we do now Magnus?"
"Now, we warn Jocelyn." He told her. "Go stay at my apartment, lie low. If Dot is smart, which she is, she'll have Clary go to the police station and meet up with Luke. We'll figure something out then. Now go." He told her, already dialing Dot's phone number.
Mia nodded and headed out into the alley again, before portaling to Magnus' apartment, and promptly passing out on the couch.
Mia was woken up several hours later, by a gentle shaking. Groaning, she slightly opened her eyes to see Magnus leaning over her. "What's going on?" She asked, sitting up slightly.
"I'm afraid I have some bad news Mia." Magnus said, sighing.
That spurred Mia into action. "What happened?" She asked, sitting up quickly and no longer tired.
"Dot's dead." Magnus told her bluntly.
Mia blinked at him. "Wait what? Are you sure?"
Magnus sadly nodded. "I can't feel her magic anymore."
Tears pricking at the corner of her eyes, Mia launched herself at her mentor, who soothingly rubbed her back.
"It's okay Mia." He told her. "You can cry."
Magnus gently laid her back down, before standing up and shutting off the light. A couple of minutes later, Mia heard the door close again. She fell asleep, tears tracks still drying on her face.
When Mia woke again, it was still dark and her phone was ringing. Groaning her eyes at the light, she read the caller ID, which flashed 'Simon'. Lifting the phone to her ear, she answered. "Simon?"
"Mia. Thank god you answered. Where are you, it's been two days?"
"Staying at a friend's apartment. Why are you calling?"
"Neither you nor Clary have answered your phones in two days and when I went to the apartment, it was deserted. Find My Friends says that Clary's at an old church on Deighton."
Mia's eyes widened. That was the New York Institute. "Stay where you are Simon. I'm really close, I'll meet you there."
Mia hung up the phone and portaled herself several hundred feet away from Simon, so he wouldn't see her appearing from nothing. "Simon!" She called, causing the boy to turn around in surprise.
"Mia? How did you get here so quick?" He asked, confused.
Mia waved it off. "I was really close. Call Clary."
Simon nodded and dialed the phone number. When he wasn't listening, Mia whispered a spell under her breath, so she could hear both sides of the phone conversation.
"How come you haven't answered your phone in two days?" Simon demanded when Clary picked up.
"Things are... all ripped apart."
"Where are you? Find My Friends says your phone is in an abandoned church on Deighton. I'm outside with Mia."
"I see you two."
"I don't see you."
"Give me five minutes. I have to get dressed."
"Dressed? What are you doing undressed in an abandoned church? Clary, is there... is there a meth problem we have to talk about?" Mia rolled her eyes at Simon's hysterics. Given the situation, there was probably a run in with demon venom.
"Simon, just give me five minutes, okay?" She said, before hanging up.
Simon stared at the phone, before turning to Mia in shock. "What do we do now?"
Mia shrugged. "We wait. Like I'm sure Clary told you to do."
"Are you sure she doesn't have a meth problem?" Simon asked, after a few seconds of silence.
Mia chuckled. "Simon, Clary is my sister. I doubt she has a meth problem."
Suddenly, a breathing sounded behind the two of them. Without having to turn around, Mia knew immediately that it was a Circle member. But she also knew that she couldn't do anything to stop it, without revealing she was a warlock. Hopefully Clary and her Shadowhunter friends showed up soon.
Before Simon could say anything, the door opened to reveal Clary and Jace.
"So why can't Simon and Mia see you?" Clary asked as the two of them walked down the steps.
Jace held out his arm to show Clary one of the runes. "This is a glamour, a rune that makes me invisible to mundanes. It's a shame, really, 'cause..well, denying them all this." Mia rolled her eyes. The Shadow World really wasn't all it was cracked up to be, especially for Downworlders.
"What do you have on, Clary?" Simon asked, confused before giving his coat to Clary. "Let us take you home."
Clary sighed. "I don't think we have one anymore."
"Why? What do you mean?" Simon asked, confused. Mia's heart clenched. Valentine really had gotten there, just like Magnus thought.
"Well..." Clary hesitated, obviously torn at what to do.
"Clary Fairchild!" The Circle member from before called out. Jace went to attack him and Clary gasped. Mia pulled Simon aside, all the while trying to act like she didn't see what was happening.
"Clary, what's going on? What are you looking at?" Simon demanded, still unable to see what the rest of them did.
The man growled. "If you give us the girl, I'll let you live."
"You're in no position to be making rules." Jace told him.
"Clary..." Simon protested, still unaware of the ramifications of what was happening.
Jace and the man were still in a battle. Mia did the best she could to not react to it, even though all she wanted to do was use her magic to end it quickly.
"We'll never stop hunting her." The man told Jace
"This is for my father." Jace told the man, before plunging his seraph blade down and killing the man.
"Jace!" Clary called out in shock.
Simon looked utterly baffled. "Excuse me?"
"Is he dead?" Clary demanded.
Simon turned to her in surprise. "Is who dead?" Suddenly, the Circle member appeared to Simon.
"What the..." Simon said in surprise. Mia stared at him too, trying to look as shocked as Simon did at that moment.
Clary sighed and turned to Jace. "Could you deglamourize, or whatever, so my best friend and sister don't think I'm loosing my mind?"
Jace appeared for Simon, who looked at him in shock. "Yeah, we don't have the luxury right now, kids. Everyone back inside."
"Clary, who is this? Your meth dealer?" Simon demanded.
Mia sighed. She supposed she would have to just play along, until she knew what she was dealing with. There was no way she was revealing herself to some random Shadowhunter, at least until she knew she could trust him. "Clary, what is happening?"
Clary ignored both of them and pointed to the dead Circle member. "I've seen him before. At the police station."
"He's a member of the Circle. Clary, he's here for you." Jace told her.
"He's with the people who took my mother." Clary revealed. Mia gasped. What she feared was true, Jocelyn had been captured, no doubt by Valentine.
"Right, your little best friend and sister here led them right to you. He's here to capture or kill you." Jace accused.
Simon looked at both of them, not aware of what actually was going on. "There's a dead body there, we have to call Luke."
"We can't trust Luke, Simon. We can't." Clary told him.
Mia sighed. Clary must have seen Luke tell the Circle members something so they would get off her trail. Mia had known Luke for ten years, and if there was one thing he hated most in the world, it was the Circle.
"Clary, I need to keep you safe. I promise you, I promise I am gonna help you find your mother. But you're one of us. You're a Shadowhunter." Jace told her.
Simon stared at them like they were crazy. "What are you talking about? Clary, you don't know this guy, all right? Come with us. I can get us help."
"Simon's right." Mia agreed, playing along. "Are you really going to trust some stranger?"
"Clary, please." Jace insisted.
Simon sighed. "Clary, come on."
This story is going to deviate a lot more from the actual show, it's just very similar right now in order to set up the story.
Please review. I love reviews.
