AN: Thanks to everyone who has reviewed the story and I hope you liked the past two chapters and I hope you will like this next chapter. And I am also sorry about a mistake I made the other chapter by putting queen instead of king. Well after that then I will let you all enjoy this next chapter. And to anyone who has asked me if I'm a fan of the show Sleepy Hollow then yes I am a massive fan of it and that show inspired me to write this fan fiction so all say thank you to the show really.

Clary's point of view

I waited until the officer I spoke to last night came in and then told me that he was given orders to take me to a mental institute but first I had to go to his apartment to get cleaned up.

I sighed and slid my paper and pen into my back pocket before following him through the building before I pointed out to him "You haven't actually told me your name sir."

The officer looked at me and said "My name is Jace Lightwood."

I nodded though he didn't see me and studied him properly.

Jace looked about eighteen or nineteen at the most. He had longish golden hair which was sort of wavy/ curly and fell into his almost hawk golden eyes. And he had a very dark sort of golden tan to his skin. He was fairly tall and he had quite big sort of muscles which partly reminded me of Jonathan and Valentine but I pushed that thought away quickly because they are not my favourite subject to say the least. Jace was pretty good looking but I would presume that he had flocks of girls after him and I don't think that finding love is particularly suitable when my demonic brother is on the loose.

I followed him into his car and I watched how when you pushed a button one way the windows all fell down and if you pushed it the other way then they went up again.

That amused me for about five more minutes until Jace snapped at me to stop so I did because one thing I learnt about living with hormonal boys who are abusive, is that when they tell you to do something angrily, you do it without a word.

We drove through the streets for a few minutes more in silence before Jace asked me "You said yesterday you woke up in a cave right?"

I looked from out the window to him and answered him "Yes I did state that which was the complete truth in case you were wondering."

Jace nodded and asked me "Do you think you could take me to it?"

I stared at him and pointed out "You'd be violating your orders."

He just simply replied "Well if you never tell anyone, no one will know about it."

I considered this; I could easily take a look around the cave until he'd finished right? Maybe I'll find something that could help me understand this mess I am in.

I turned back to him and said "Fine, I'll take you there."

I only managed to half guide Jace back to the cave in the car and the rest of the way back to the cave was easy enough to remember.

I wasn't handcuffed for once so whilst we walked in the fields of long green/yellow grass I stuck a hand out and brushed it past all of the grass on our way up there as I walked slightly ahead of Jace.

When I arrived at the lake I saw that Jace was quite far behind me so I went towards the water and stared at my reflection once again.

I still looked no different but I still felt almost out of place here.

When Jace finally caught up with me he told me "You walk very fast."

I raised my eyebrows and said "It either that or you walk really slowly."

I walked through the second field of grass and I soon stopped at the cave entrance and yelled back to Jace "It's here!"

Jace jogged the rest of the way and stood behind me looking down at the cave entrance.

His closeness to me was starting to freak me out so I said as happily as I could "Come on then Goldilocks."

I moved forwards and I placed my hand on my dagger hoping that I wouldn't need it but I guess I could never be too sure.

Jace passed me a light thing when we got inside the dark cave and showed me how to use it.

"This is a flashlight. All you do is click the button for on and then move it around to the place where you want to look and then click the button again for it to turn off, got it?"

I nodded and felt like I was some kind of five year old learning something at a school or something similar to that.

Jace moved straight over to the walls of the caves where as I looked straight around the area of where I came up from.

I pushed some earth around trying to find something that I would recognise.

I quickly located my stele and my very own witchlight stone which would be handy as well as a few hidden seraph blades and shoved them into my pockets whilst Jace was distracted.

I pushed a few more pieces of earth around and my hand found something hard.

I tugged on it and found that it was two book bound inside of one.

One was the Shadowhunter's Codex which was basically our miniature law book and it explains about us Shadowhunters and the Downworlders.

And the other was a normal Christian bible.

I muttered quietly "Oh God."

Jace's voice then asked "What is it Clary?"

Well I guess that wasn't so quietly after all.

I answered anyway "Someone buried me with a God damn bible. Urgh wrong religion much."

Jace stared at me and said "I thought most people were Christian in your times."

I agreed "They were, but my family … they brought me up under a different… let's just say a different belief okay?"

I felt Jace stare at me as I looked at the bible in disgust before realising that there was a small bookmark in it.

I opened the book and shone the flashlight onto the page.

I only scanned the text and muttered "Okay who the hell decided to mark this stupid part and bury it with me?"

Jace looked at me again and asked me "What part is it?"

I gave him an annoyed look and said "The part about Lucifer the angel being cast down to hell and becoming well becoming the devil."

Jace laughed and said "And who left you with that?"

I shrugged and said "Probably Magnus or Simon. They would have found it amusing for me to be buried with it."

Jace shook his head before searching the cave again.

I looked at the bookmark that had been place in the book and I read the scribbly handwriting on it.

It read 'Dear Fray,

The last few days have been strange without you around, making jokes or laugh at them. It feels like someone has torn a piece of me out and burnt it. I know what Mags did to you and I'm sure you'll find out soon enough or you'll already know and I will wait for you in the city. I will wait for you for as long as it takes even if you die afterwards and just to let you know I've still got your back Fray, no matter what.

Love Si Lewis.'

I smiled at Simon who I remembered to be a stupid yet loveable idiot.

I then read the neater and loopy handwriting which said 'Dear Sweetheart,

Miss you already and wish you were here except not really. Only joking I really do miss you and even Simon is depressed and he's a dead thing. Okay Simon is now glaring at me but I am ignoring it and I will also wait for you in the city and when you wake I hope to meet you again and this time we can party properly and maybe even teach Simon how to dance. I'm sorry for what I did to you too but it was the only way I could leave you in peace.

Lots of hugs and kisses from Mags Bane.'

I almost laughed at the image of Simon dancing from ages ago at the camp when we hadn't been fighting.

Then I saw another message on it; this time the writing was neater than Simon's but it wasn't as nice as Magnus'.

This one read 'To Claire Bear,

I miss you now like normal, it's also like you're going to run into the room at any moment and make a joke or laugh at us for being so stupid. I met your mum and she wants to tell you that she's sorry and both of us hope to see you soon.

Love from Luke.'

I smiled to myself and slid the bible into my pocket before turning to the codex and flicking through it before realising that this was my own copy of it which I had doodled and scribbled in with Simon and Magnus.

I saw Simon's note reading next to the vampire section on where they come from reading 'In 1444 in Wallachial, The vampires all came forth to rock ya, ha.' Which I had crossed out and written underneath 'Just no.' which made me smile at that memory.

I slid it into my pocket as Jace called to me "Okay, fieldtrips over. Come on Fray back to the car."

When he called me Fray it was almost like I could see Simon standing there teasing me about my hair colour or something but I knew I couldn't afford to think of him in front of company and especially the people who think I'm mad.

So instead I glared at Jace and said "Don't call me Fray."

Jace lost his smile and asked "Why not? It's your last name right?"

I nodded and said "Just don't okay, it's personal."

Jace nodded and let me walk in front of him all the way back to the car in silence.

Once we were moving I asked Jace "What about your friends and family? You haven't really told me much about them."

Jace looked at me irritated as though it was a sensitive subject and said "My foster parents are nice. I have three siblings, two brothers and one sister. They're names are Alec who is just under a year older than me, Max who's nine and Isabelle who is sixteen."

I asked him as gently as I could "And your real parents?"

He said coldly "They're dead."

I stared at him and said "Oh, that's sad, no one should lose their parents at any age or at least until your older anyway."

Suddenly Jace half chuckled and I asked him confusedly "What's so funny?"

Jace smiled and answered "Normally people say something like 'I'm so sorry' or give me a sympathetic look like I'm a kicked puppy but you just say 'that's sad'."

I narrowed my eyes and said "Well there's no point in saying that I'm sorry because I didn't murder or kill your parents so therefore it's not my fault."

Jace was still chuckling as he said "Well that's good to know you're not a murderer."

I flinched and said "Yeah that's good to know I'm not a killer."

I dreaded the moment that if he ever found out any differently.

Jace's point of view

As we drove along the road back to my house I wondered what the small red girl was thinking about.

When I told her that she wasn't a murderer she flinched before answering which kind of scared me but she had looked almost upset so I let it drop for now.

Back at the cave I had seen her slip two books into her pockets and I knew on was the bible but she never showed me the other and I don't think she will unless she wants to.

I tried to think that it was something that she would have liked but from the smile on her face when she read it, the book had meant a lot more to her.

I tried to break the silence by asking her "So not even the civil war here woke you up huh?"

Clary turned around to face me her green eyes were filled with some kind of hatred and sadness as if she'd seen many people lose their lives or she is haunted by something.

She just said "You do know that what you say to me is like watching a chicken cluck right?"

I told her "But you can't understand chickens."

She rolled her eyes and said as if I was an idiot "That was meant to be the point."

She then turned back to the window and sighed even if it was barely audible it was still there.

I pulled the car to a stop at some traffic lights and Clary asked me "What is that building?"

I saw that she was nodding at a Starbucks and I told her "That's a Starbucks."

She just gave me a plainly confused stare so I explained "Where they make coffee."

Clary still looked slightly confused but she just said "That used to be a Livery Stable."

As the light turned green we drove off and as we passed yet another Starbucks Clary just said "Really? That's another Starbucks?"

I nodded and she then questioned me further "How many are there?"

I shrugged and said "I've lost count but it's probably about one per block."

Clary smiled before losing it and then looked back out of the window once again.

When I pulled up outside my block of apartments I had to lead Clary to my apartment because she kept glancing around and almost walking into other things.

Once we got inside I showed Clary how the shower worked before giving her a spare set of Izzy's clothes I had from ages ago and got her to leave her other clothes outside the door.

As I went to throw the clothes into the washing machine I saw a piece of paper that was in her back pocket.

I looked around and saw that the shower was going and she was likely to still be in there so I opened it and read it.

The handwriting was fairly neat and a little loopy but it was readable.

It read 'The writing below is really disturbing well it is to my brain anyway but this is what I know and what I remember too.

So far these are the things I can mostly remember from as long as however I lived years ago:

My new name is Clary Adele Fray. I can remember my birth name but I can't write it as people will most likely judge me by it and this could also fall into many wrong hands and of course my very own family disowned me and I disowned them to. Not that I am complaining of course considering they're a bunch of evil pricks. Anyway I thought that I was fifth teen nearly sixteen but if I was born on the twenty third of August 1707 then that should make me about three hundred and six years old. I don't know how this could have happened but somehow I have awoken nearly three hundred years later than I last remember and I'm being held as a suspect for murdering someone who I have no idea who it is.

I remember the last time I saw life minus this morning as clearly as ever like normal. I was sitting at the breakfast table laughing with some of the other people when I was called to the Director's tent. I was told that my mission was to kill something. Something that is next to impossible to kill. I will not name it as again this may fall into the wrong hands. I remember fighting with Simon and Magnus and then I saw it, the thing I was meant to kill. I remember a bit of the fight still, I was cut in my right side but as it tried to kill me I chopped it in half before it did but it had used its poison on my side so the last thing I remember is collapsing next to the body and then a voice, one I can't even place in my head at the moment. They yelled my name, my real name not my fake boys name Cain Fray. No it had been Clary, then I remember nothing more, it's like I lost consciousness and the black darkness had swallowed me whole but three hundred years later, it spits me back out again and makes me almost repeat my life.

I can now here the two men talking. They are speaking of people that I know but again I cannot name them. All three descriptions fit them but all I can do is hope I am wrong and that the man saw someone else that looked like them but I have a feeling that it will be them.

I almost told the golden man what I am and my job but I stopped myself as I think that maybe telling people about me will not help me get out of the mental institution that I am probably heading to tomorrow.

I dreamt last night, it was a fairly good thing after what my family did to me I guess. I dreamt of my mother and she told me a few things but now I have no clue whether to believe her or not. What she said made sense and it fits a few things together but can I really trust her now? It may be three hundred years ago but I still remember them days to this day and I don't think that anything can ever make me forget them no matter how many apologies I get from them that was one thing I can never take back now, the one thing I had and it's now been taken away from me even if it was ages ago. And no matter how many times I've tried not to, I still dread falling to sleep anywhere, it makes me feel unsafe as if it pulls me out of my life and somewhere else but these dreams all seem so real and I don't think I can handle them every night but I'll try for Simon and Magnus.

I have to go now but I will be writing again soon I'm sure of it. All I can hope is that no matter what happens I will always remember these things:

I know who I am, I know what I am, I even know where I am and I know what I must do now thanks to my mother, and I swear on the angel that I will do that job or die trying to complete it. I also swear that no matter what this time I won't hesitate on killing them all I will kill them all even if they were people who I once loved but I will if it comes to that.'

It ended there and I knelt there looking at it as I turned the washing machine on and let her clothes spin round and round.

I wondered what had happened to the small red to make her hate sleeping and what does she mean by that she knows what she is and what her job is and especially the part about the people I once loved.

Then my cell rang which jolted me out of my thoughts and I picked it up and spoke "Hello?"

"Hello Jace, I'm ringing about a certain annoying red headed girl who you're meant to take to the mental institute." The voice said back.

I asked the voice "Who is this and what about Miss Fray."

The voice replied "It's Sebastian, and the institute needs more time to prepare her room so they won't be ready for her until the day after tomorrow. So I think she needs to come back to the station."

I thought about the red and how she'd looked so scared of the cells so I said "Actually, what if she stayed at my apartment for the days and then I can take her there afterwards?"

I heard Sebastian talk about this to the leader before he came back onto the phone and said "The leader says it's okay so I guess she can stay but he wants updates on her behaviour okay Lightwood?"

"Yes Verlac."

His cheery voice came on as he said "Okay Officer, have fun looking after her."

I just hung up and let the phone drop onto the table.

Just then I heard footsteps and then a small moan and a voice asking "Who the hell owned these clothes? They're like another layer of skin added onto me and then gone saggy or something."

I spun around and saw that Clary had put on the clothes I'd given her which was a pair of blue jeans and a purple strappy top. Her hair was in wild curls and once again pulled back into a neater ponytail.

She looked a bit too small in them clothes and I finally took pity on her and said "My foster sister did, and you're staying here for a couple of days so the place can prepare for you and your going to need some new clothes so come on, I'll take you to meet my sister and you two can go shopping."

Clary muttered something that sounded a lot like "For God's sake, if she owns these ones from a few years ago then I hate to think what she's like now."

I laughed and threw her a pair of trainer s which she tugged on and then walked down the stairs and down the street next to me in silence.

As we approached my big family house, Clary looked up and said "Nice house."

I smiled and said "Tell that to the others."

She smiled nervously and then walked more behind me up to the door and waiting for someone to answer the doorbell.

Clary's point of view

I felt ridiculous as the door to the massive mansion like house opened to reveal a girl about my age maybe more standing in what I presumed was designer clothes and everything where as I stood there in her old clothes.

The girl was one of the girls I would of loved to have drawn. She was ribbon slim and she had raven, waist length black hair and dark charcoal coloured eyes. I couldn't help but think of the faeries like Kaelie from all those years ago.

The girl wrapped Jace into a hug before seeing me and telling Jace "You need to stop giving poor homeless people my clothes Jace. It makes them look like they've drowned in a bathtub and then put through a tumble dryer."

Jace smiled and said "This Izzy is Clary Fray, she's going to stay with me for a few days before moving to a mental institute but she needs some more clothes so I was hoping that you could take her shopping."

I rolled my eyes as they both spoke in hushed voices about me and I muttered something Magnus always told me "You do know that all the best people are actually mad right?"

Both of them turned and stared at me which made me blush and look away from them and I muttered "Sorry wasn't meant to be that loud."

Jace muttered something and the girl sighed before obviously agreeing with him and she said to me "Come on Clary, we have some shopping to do."

She grabbed my wrist and dragged me back onto the street and practically dragged me the whole way to town whilst talking to Jace and Alec who had come to be my escorts.

I let Isabelle drag me through the streets and into different shops before finding one I actually liked.

This one had a lot more interesting Shadowhunter stuff in there as the clothes were mostly black and had some kind of skulls on it.

Isabelle who was finally happy that I liked something did a 'typical girl thing' according to Jace (and a snarky comment by Alec) and brought me near enough everything in the shop.

After we got back to Jace's apartment Isabelle made me pack them all in a wardrobe in the spare room and everything.

After Isabelle and Alec had gone out the door I sighed and looked down at myself and said "I look like I've been dead three thousand years instead of three hundred."

Jace smiled until we both heard a scream shatter the silence.

We both looked at each other and ran to the window where I saw Isabelle and Alec standing on the pavement about four balconies below our one, opposite a Ravener demon.

I cursed to myself as Jace asked me "Uh what the hell is that."

I turned to him and told him "You stay here and if you try to get out then put it this way you might get me and your family killed so please stay here unless I tell you to move it."

Jace frowned at me and asked "Clary what ar-"

I smiled at him slightly and said "I'm sorry but I have to save your family's ass."

And without a second thought a stood on the edge of the balcony and jumped.

I could feel the air pull me down and then suddenly my feet thudded against the ground making me feel the impact pretty hard but I didn't care.

The demon spun around and saw me and it's whole face lit up happily and it muttered "Hmmm food, kill food, walking food looks tasty." I pulled my seraph blade out and it muttered "Oh no not you."

It turned back to Isabelle and Alec and it muttered "Get the other food quick before nasty girl get me."

I put the blade away again and called to it "Hey you ugly beast, you don't want them little skanky things. You want something big and juicy like me don't you?"

The demon watched me carefully and it muttered "Hmmm shadow girl is right she does look more tasty. Eat shadow girl first then."

It lunged straight at me trying to stab my heart but I knew that it would try that so I whipped out my seraph blade again and then yelled at my blade "Cassiel!" which made it light up and shine brilliantly bright as I slashed my blade straight through the demons skin and then yelling at Isabelle and Alec "Go back to your brother!"

They typically didn't move though so I had to dance away from them as best as I could so the demon didn't change its mind about eating me first.

I blocked all of the demon's attempts at killing me before taunting it "Ha, can't even kill a little girl can you?"

It growled and muttered "I will kill you now!"

It lunged at me but I easily dodged and rolled out of the way of its tail.

As I spun around to face it again I saw a mark of a star on the demons skin and I instantly knew who sent the demon.

So I called to it "Ha you can't kill me you foolish creature. Not without making your master angry. He wants me alive doesn't he? He wants to make me suffer like the others did."

The demon murmured "Master wants death upon you."

I snapped at him "Well you better tell your master that death has claimed me once and it won't claim me again until he reverses what he's done but he's going to have a death tonight but not mine."

The demon trembled and muttered "No kill me. Please no. Master will leave me in punishment for another thousand years."

I told the demon "Who is your master?"

The demon shook and said "My master is a kind and loving man. Master is very smart and sneaky with his moves. Master is-"

I interrupted the demon by snapping "Yes okay get to the name please."

"My Master is Jonathan Morgenstern, your-"

I snapped at him and said "Yes, yes I know. Now that's cleared up then I can put an end to you."

I raised the blade and then I felt the teeth sink into my leg and I staggered slightly but it wasn't enough for me to bring my seraph blade down and stab the demon straight in the heart and I asked it "Where is the master?"

The demon screamed "Hidden!" before dissolving completely and then leaving no trace of it ever being here.

I let out a frustrated scream before remembering that Isabelle and Alec was still down here so I found her kneeling in the shadows and ran towards her and knelt next to her and I asked her quickly "Did it cut you or even touch you?"

Isabelle whispered "No it only tried to bite me." And Alec just shook his head.

I asked Isabelle "Can you stand?"

Isabelle shook her head and said "Don't think so."

I sighed and told her "Put your arms around my neck and I'll carry you okay?"

Isabelle murmured something but she did as I asked and I picked her up and carried her back up the stairs trying not to whack her body against anything.

Alec followed us scowling at me.

When I got up to the right floor I saw Jace running down the corridor and the demon venom was starting to take effect on me so I was stumbling around slightly, struggling to support both me and Isabelle at the same time.

Jace was near me in seconds and he took Isabelle away from me before carrying her effortlessly into the apartment with me stumbling after him.

He was already at the couch next to Isabelle and Alec was almost fast asleep by the time I managed to stumble into the apartment without accidently walking into the wall instead.

I collapsed on the floor near Isabelle and I winced in pain as the venom from the demon made my leg burn with what felt like acid running through my veins.

A voice asked me if I was okay but when I looked up it seemed like there were dozens of the same person.

I searched my ragged jeans pockets to try and find my stele so I could heal myself with a healing rune.

I found it and then tried to draw it on my arm but I had no idea how well I did it as there looked like I was drawing dozens of them.

My mind seemed to almost instantly sharpen and become clearer as the pain was taken away.

I sighed in relief and let my head fall back against a wall for a few seconds before I realised that my leg may not be healed properly from one rune so I checked my leg and saw that it was only dried up blood and a small scar that was now slowly fading too was there.

I went to slide my stele back into my pocket but I felt eyes stare at me so I looked up and like normal I felt embarrassed to be watched by someone let alone people who thought I was as mad as hell.

Jace asked me "Are you okay?"

I nodded and said "What about Isabelle and Alec?"

Jace said "They're fine." He bit his lip like I did when I was nervous and I turned away from him pretending that I didn't notice him thinking about what to ask me.

I looked out of the window and I could have almost sworn that I saw another demon but it was only a stupid black cat crossing the road.

Jace then asked me "Um Clary?"

I answered automatically "Yes?"

Jace seemed to want to ask but be afraid of me "What was that thing that you just stabbed and it disintegrated?"

I turned around and told him "I keep telling you that I can't tell you and that you won't even believe me if I told you. Trust me, it'll put my name on the door to that cell in the institute and I'll be moved to different ones so they can try and 'heal' me. I don't need that okay?"

Jace snapped angrily "That thing just almost killed my brother and sister."

I snapped back "That thing did not kill your sister though because I saved her ass and like normal no one is grateful about it. I hate my job sometimes, I seriously do."

Jace asked me "And what is your job exactly?"

I repeated myself "I've told you, it's too dangerous to know and once you do it doesn't make your life any easier."

Isabelle then asked "What about me? That thing almost killed me so I think I deserve to know what it was."

I kicked the wall and told her angrily "That thing barely even touched you. It only wanted to take you to its master and then it will make me have to come and get you because I know exactly who the master is and why he wants me to go there."

Isabelle asked me "Who's the master then? Why can't you go there and beat him up?"

I told them "Can't tell you yet again and I can't because I know what will happen if I did and the master isn't normal like you or your brother. The master is a lot stronger than most people maybe even me but that thing's master wants me to suffer not die which is why it didn't kill me, even if it did try."

I walked away from the window and said "I need some fresh air or something."

I walked straight towards the door and down the flights of stairs before I came to the outside air.

I sat on the edge of the curb and placed my head in my hands and tried to sort out my thoughts again.

I need to find Simon and Magnus. That's one thing I know for sure.

Another is that I need to find and rescue my own mother.

I pushed a few of my red curls away from my face and muttered "How come this happens to you Fray? Why do you always get stuck with the curious mundanes of this god forsaken world?"

I heard a faint roar and a small "Shit!" from a street nearby and then a figure run down the street and then a flash of white and brown went speeding past me with a Forsaken chasing after it.

I jumped up and then ran to meet the Forsaken.

It looked at me witch I almost hated but I never looked away from it.

The cold dull eyes bored into mine and I told it "Back off you stupid thing!"

It roared and charged at me and slashed with a dagger which I dodged and then I sent a seraph blade into its side.

The Forsaken roared again and then I jumped out of the way of both of the blades flying at me.

The flash was suddenly back and we ended up helping each other fight which seemed like we'd done it so many times but that seemed ridiculous considering I only awoke yesterday morning.

The other person did a spin kick into the Forsaken's stomach which I then grabbed my own dagger and then stabbed it straight in the heart and I dug it straight through so it suffered a quick death at least before pulling it out again.

I muttered more to myself "Urgh, why can't their blood evaporate from weapons too. It's gross to have to keep cleaning it."

The other person said from behind me "I guess you hate blood then."

I laughed and said "No actually I used to have a friend who hated blood. And it messes up your cloths too."

I glanced at the other person and saw that it was a boy with pale skin so it was probably a Vampire, he had brown hair that fell into his face and he had deep brown eyes.

It reminded me of Simon in a way but I shook the thought out of my head.

The Vampire boy laughed and said "Yeah I guess it does for your blades at least."

I smiled and then I looked up at Jace's balcony before sighing as I saw Jace on the balcony staring down at me and the vampire.

The vampire looked up and said "He your boyfriend?"

I shook my head and told him "I guess I never really thought about having a boyfriend really, I've always been too obsessed with my job and my family back in London never used to let me play with boys or really even talk to them. I'm staying with him until my room at the metal institute is ready because they think my brains screwed up majorly but then that's what all the mundies think I guess."

The boy laughed and said "Yeah they always think you're mental when you meet them. It's just a general thing really; they thought that I was a zombie once because they couldn't find my pulse."

I laughed and said "Well at least you'd be very convincing for Halloween."

The vampire laughed and said "It would be if I ever got invited to a party or something, I'm not very popular at my school I am trying to attend to, actually I'm probably at the bottom of the food chain and it takes a lot to stop myself from doing a hulk smash on them."

I frowned and asked "Hulk Smash?"

The vampire explained "Um the hulk is a big green monster which is inside a man until he is really angry and big green monster comes out and smashes everything up. How did you not know that?"

I shrugged and said "Long story really, what's your name?"

The vampire hesitated before saying "I'm Simon. Simon Lewis."

I stared at him and asked uncertainly "Si? Is that you?"

Simon stared back at me and asked back at me "Clary? You've awoken at last?"

I laughed and said "Yep, apparently death got bored of me and threw me back out of hell."

Simon laughed with me before saying "It's really you isn't it?"

I did a mocking bow and said "The one and only my friend."

Simon smiled and asked "Big hug for me?"

I smiled back and gave him a massive hug. Simon's hugs always felt like it was my brother hugging me not my best friend. It also felt so familiar as if it had replaced my family with just him, Magnus and Luke.

I pulled back and pushed a few of his locks of brown hair out of his face and I said "You ditched the glasses."

Simon laughed and said "I don't need them any more Fray."

Shook my head and asked "Is Magnus and Luke still here and alive? Are you okay? What's happened all of these years when I've been sleeping if you could say that?"

Simon bent down and whispered in my ear "Both of them are alive and okay. And not too much just a few Mundie wars and new inventions."

I smiled and whispered back "I think that I should go. The police dude will be killing me otherwise and we can meet up tomorrow right?"

Simon released me and said "Okay Fray, I'll collect you here at two on my lunch break okay? And did you want me to help explain?"

I nodded and said "Oh could you? That'd be amazing Si."

"Sure thing Fray."

We walked back up to the apartment, and I was smiling to myself and half expecting to be hit or punished in some way for speaking to Simon.

We went inside the apartment and saw that now all of the Lightwoods were staring at us as if we were some kind of different species.

Jace then pointed to a plate and said "Dinner's on that plate okay? And we still want answers. And who's your little boyfriend?"

I told them "You won't believe me if I tell you. Trust me you won't. And this is Simon Lewis who I knew from my previous life and he's not my boyfriend, he's my best friend."

Jace asked me "But what if we did believe you?"

Me and Simon shared a glance at each other before I sighed and said "Fine but I'll only answer if I can."

Jace started off with "What exactly are you and Simon?"

I told him "I'm a Shadowhunter, Simon's a Vampire. Next."

Isabelle then asked "What's a Shadowhunter?"

Simon answered this time "A Shadowhunter is someone who is half angel half human. Or in-"

I interrupted him sharply "And they don't need to know that."

Simon looked at me and nodded before falling silent.

Jace then asked "What don't we need to know?"

Simon muttered to me under his breath "Busted."

I glared at Simon and said to everyone else "Like I said, you don't need to know that yet."

Jace then frowned and asked "And you want us to believe that there are such things as demon killers and vampires exist? What next werewolves and pixies?"

I hesitated before telling him "You do realise that most creatures like werewolves and pixies and faeries actually exist right?"

Jace looked mildly surprised but Alec then asked "What are the marks on your arms?"

I answered again and indicated one of my runes on my arm "They are what we call runes. These help us do certain stuff such as this one is a heightened speed rune which will give me extra speed. We have them for all sorts of stuff like extra strength or deflect runes. Shadowhunter's draw them on using a stele which looks a little like this."

I pulled out my own stele and saw that Jace looked like he remembered it from earlier and he asked me "What was the one you drew on your leg earlier?"

I answered "It was a healing rune which heals most injuries, look."

I pulled up my ripped trouser leg and showed them where the demon had cut me and now there was only dried blood left.

Isabelle then questioned me "How is Simon then walking around in daylight? I swear I've seen him around the city during the day."

I glanced at Simon nervously because the reason he was a daylighter and the only one in the world was because one time he was starving after a war ages ago and we'd been stranded away from headquarters so I'd let Simon drink some of my blood which contains three quarters angel blood instead of only half angel blood. We'd also told no one except Magnus about the blood drinking and that's what we think cased it anyway.

I met Simon's eyes and he shook his head slightly which I nodded at and half explained "Simon's what we call a Daylighter, the only one which I've ever known about anyway."

Simon nodded and said "Same here with me. No other Vampire has registered them as a Daylighter except me of course."

I told Simon "Only because the Clave saw you walking in daylight and made you confess."

Simon answered back fake wisely "Ah but Miss Mo- I mean Fray, it may have been a part of my plan all along. And you will never know okay?"

I rolled my eyes and said "I can still make truth runes for Vampires you know."

Simon went paler if that was possible and he told me "But would you ever do it?"

I smiled and said "Not when I can get you to tell me when you're drunk."

Simon muttered "I hate you Fray."

I grinned this time and answered back "The same back at you there Lewis."

Simon laughed and said "Well that's one thing I have missed for nearly three hundred years isn't it?"

I grinned and said "Of course you missed me; I am very loveable after all."

Jace then asked me "So you two have never been gone out like as boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Both me and Simon said at the same time "He wishes." And "She wishes."

We glanced at each other and said synchronised again "Hey, that's not true."

We both laughed and I said "Wow that was kind of freaky there."

Jace cleared his throat and then asked "What were those things that you fought?"

I studied him and said "First one was a Ravener Demon, they're pretty stupid but you get the occasional smart one. The other one was a Forsaken, they're like normal humans who've tried to draw powerful runes on them and well they end up looking a bit like that."

Isabelle asked me "So what are Shadowhunters and all the other stuff like?"

I glanced at Simon who asked back "What do you mean?"

Isabelle explained "As in what do they look like? How can you tell what they are?"

I sighed and said "I'll let Simon explain about Vampires actually."

Simon looked at me and asked "Why would that be?"

I smiled and said "I always have a tendency to get myself killed or attacked by some kind of leader and trust me death isn't as fun as you think."

Simon smiled and said "Fair enough, Vampires tend to look like normal people except when they're vamping out. You can tell them apart from their like sneaking around at night, they will have fangs, they may drink your blood, and they may be drinking any other kind of blood-"

I put my head in my hand and interrupted Simon "They tend to have pale skin and if they were once dark skinned then it turns a more greyish colour. They tend to avoid direct daylight unless you're Mr Idiot over here, if you touch them then they have no body heat, they can't blush, and they will also have no pulse. They also will not appear to age which means that as I get older Simon here will look the same five hundred years later."

Simon smiled and said "Not an idiot."

I replied "Beg to differ."

Simon then said "Next I would say would be werewolves."

I sighed and said "Now werewolves are harder to notice, the only ways you can really tell them apart is if their angry their eyes turn a wolfish colour, at full moon they transform into a wolf, and they are allergic to silver so they won't pick any up or touch any silver with their bare skin. They tend to look like normal people during the days too."

Isabelle asked "Do Faeries exist?"

I nodded and said "Yeah there's lots of rumour of how they're born. Some say they're fallen angels but I think personally the other way is that they're a child of an angel and a demon. That always seemed more likely. Anyway Faeries aren't how you imagine them to be, they look like normal people but they tend to be very beautiful and just so you know telling a girl or a boy that they look beautiful and if they're a faerie does not make them like you in our world."

Simon thought and said "You forgot Warlocks and then that's the Downworlders done."

I nodded and said "Warlocks too look like normal human beings but they always have a certain mark. Like my friend Magnus Bane who I am sure you will probably meet, he has cat eyes and Ragnor Fell has green skin. And by the way also telling people you like to guess where your warlock mark is really doesn't work with chatting them up, trust me there."

Simon then said "And Shadowhunters, hmm where shall I start? They are arrogant, sarcastic, idiots, ugly, and very horrible and mean."

I smacked Simon's arm lightly and he pointed out "See that was mean."

I rolled my eyes and said "Yes I am very mean and that was for being a naughty little Vampire."

He pointed out "The Codex says that you shouldn't tease a Vampire."

I smiled and said "I've never been one for rules."

Simon smirked and said "It must run in the family bloodline."

I narrowed my eyes and said "Gee thanks, like I wanted to be more like them."

Simon said "Your welcome and how would you describe Shadowhunters then?"

I counted them off my fingers "Brave, sometimes reckless, they put other people before them, they normally like to think that they're the best people in the world not including me in that group, they are normally fairly smart, yes they are arrogant and sarcastic but they are meant to be very violent and mean otherwise they wouldn't have the guts to kill demons, they are normally pretty until you meet a faerie, and most of the time they wear black and carry around some form of weapons."

Simon clapped politely and said "Very well said."

I rolled my eyes and asked the others "Anymore questions for tonight?"

Alec asked me "Is this actually true?"

I nodded and said "Yep, told you it makes your life no easier knowing that demons and angels exist."

Alec argued "No it doesn't but our medical doctors think that you have a brain disease that makes you believe in unreal stuff. And the dude doesn't even have fangs"

I asked Alec "So you think I'm a liar?"

Alec nodded and said "Along the lines of that but you have a disease right?"

I snapped "I have no mental disease; I only have dyslexia and ADHD okay?"

Simon suddenly butted in by saying "Don't call her a liar. If anyone's a liar it's you Alec Lightwood!"

Simon then prowled forwards and he slowly made his fangs fall down reminding me of a snakes.

Once they were fully extended Simon made an unhuman noise and started staring at their veins so I yelled over his weird noises "Simon. Stop it now."

They all backed away which made Simon move even more gracefully and eagerly.

I sprinted across the room as the Lightwood's backs all hit the wall and Simon moved closer to them.

I skidded in front of Simon and said "Simon stop now!"

Simon growled at me and snarled.

I ordered him "Simon back off, NOW!"

Simon suddenly leapt at me which I was only half prepared for.

I told the others "Go, whilst I distract him, use silver."

They all nodded and this time they ran out to the bathroom which was surrounded my silver.

I told Simon gently "Okay Simon, it's just me and you now. You don't want to hurt anyone now do you?"

Simon growled and started struggling as if the real one was trying to break through.

I gently made a thin scratch across my arm and I pinned Simon underneath me and I let a few drops of my blood land on his lips which he licked up and then he grabbed my wrist and sunk his fangs into my veins.

I gritted my teeth and told myself that I'd survived it once, I can do it again.

After a few minutes I felt light and dizzy so I slapped Simon gently and he let go of me and I let him up.

He blinked a few times and I stood away from him just in case, holding my wrist trying to stop the bleeding.

Simon then saw me holding my wrist with some blood leaking through my fingers and he asked me "Did I do that?"

I nodded and said "I let you though."

Simon buried his head in his hands and muttered "Oh god Clary, why did you let me do it?"

I told him "Its fine, I stopped you before it hurt too much and also I heal quicker than normal don't I?"

Simon looked at me and said "I don't know what got into me there I just suddenly snapped."

I told him "Just try not to do that in front of mundies next time okay?"

Simon nodded and asked "Where are they?"

I nodded to the bathroom and said "In there."

Simon nodded as I walked to the door and knocked on it lightly and called through "Hey you guys! You can come out now."

I heard Jace's relieved voice ask "Is it safe?"

I called back "Yeah, he's had some blood and he's back to normal."

I moved away as Jace unlocked the door and I was still trying to stop the bleeding but instead it was leaking around my hands.

Jace saw my hands first and he said "Holy shit. He did that?"

I nodded and cursed the wound for not stopping.

Simon saw me cursing and he said "Stele."

I stopped holding it a while so I could pass it to Simon and he asked me "Where should I draw it?"

I pointed to my other arm where the main one was and he slowly touched the stele against my skin which made it burn as it cut into me.

Once Simon was finished the healing rune I felt the pain slowly ebb away and I also heard three different exclaims.

I looked up and saw that Jace, Alec and Isabelle were staring at me and as I had just let Simon cut a mark into my skin and now all of my small scratches and the fang mark were closing up again and making my skin look as new as a baby's.

I stared at my wrist as the layers of skin started to almost stitch itself back together using magic which wasn't true really.

Now even the scar was fading and in the end it only left dried up blood and two tiny white marks to show where the bite had been.

I sighed slightly and said to no one in particular "I'm going to clean up and then I'm going to bed."

Simon nodded and said "I'll be leaving then, see you tomorrow Fray?"

I nodded and said "Yeah I guess I need to see the others don't I?"

Simon nodded and said "Okay then Bye Fray!"

I smiled slightly and replied "Bye."

I saw Jace staring at me but I didn't say anything like I would normally do I just went inside the spare guest room and I grabbed some pyjamas before heading out to the bathroom and running some water in the bathtub.

I let my wrists and legs soak in the soft velvety water and I muttered to myself "Nicer than a cave I guess."

When I started to wash off the dried blood on my wrists I felt my scars tingle slightly as if they were screaming at the water.

One of my punishments had been to throw me in a bath full of water and then Valentine or Jonathan or even Jocelyn would hold me down whilst the other two cut my wrists at the same time vertically down so they wouldn't stop bleeding naturally. I'd screamed out in pain when they did that but they always put me in a sound proof chamber so when I screamed no one but them could hear it. That was one of my worst punishments I ever had to sit through before.

I pulled my arms out of the water as I started to breath heavier and I got out of the water completely and I glanced at myself in the mirror studying my reflection.

I looked exactly the same as I had two hours ago. My eyes were full of hardness and no emotions were being given away but inside there was too many emotions to count and sort out.

I sighed and then got dressed into my pyjamas and then went straight to bed ignoring Jace calling my name softly.

I shut the bedroom door and sighed.

Everyone now would think I was crazy for telling them about the truth of this world and how it was full of what they believed as mythical creatures.

I shifted in the bed and told myself to think of something else and finally sleep found me thinking of a pair of dark golden eyes.

AN: Sorry for not updating so soon I've been revising for my English essays which are counting as half of my GCSE grade and I can't re sit them but I will be trying to update some more before then hopefully. Anyway thanks for reading and please leave me a review and let me know what you think of the story.
