Jace's POV:
Everyone was taken in by the CIA. They were given something and didn't remember what had happened. Only Izzy, Clary, Simon and I were allowed to remember. Clary had been guarded for two weeks and then left alone. It had been a month since it had happened. Everything had returned to normal. Mayrse and Robert were told everything. They immediately decided to move. Clary had been absolutely fine about the whole ordeal, just madder than ever.
A man she had trusted had murdered her parents and tried to kill her. Mayrse and Robert were at home a lot more and were more uptight. We had to tell them where we going and when. They had come to truly care for Clary like she was one of their own. They had asked if they could adopt her but she hadn't wanted them to. She had wanted to honour her parents and keep their name as a memory.
Today was the day we moved. Everything had been packed up into boxes and sent to our new home. Robert and Mayrse had told us that we would have had to of moved anyway because of Robert's new job. We were going to California. We all pilled into our cars. Izzy's had been sent ahead so she, Clary and Max rode in my car. Clary sat in the back with Max. They talked about comics for half the journey until Max fell asleep and Clary put her headphones in. The rest of the journey was filled with Izzy's chatting and catching glances of Clary in the rear view mirror. We got to the airport and met Robert and Mayrse. Alec had gone a week earlier so he could stay with Magnus who had an apartment there.
(Time skip)
We were now in California. It was the middle of the night. I grabbed Clary's hand in one of my hands and my suitcase in the other. Clary grabbed her suitcase as well. I had insisted on carrying it but she wanted to do it. She said it "Added to the excitement." We all piled into some Taxis and drove to our new house. Clary fell asleep on me in the Taxi, her head on my shoulder. The cab driver kept sending her glances until I glared at him. When we pulled up at the house it was 1am.
"Clary love, we are here," I gently woke her up with a peck on the lips.
"If you did that all the time I wouldn't mind waking up," she yawned, her voice scratchy from sleep. I helped her inside, payed the cabbie and took our bags inside. I carried Clary upstairs as she was already asleep again. I took her into her room and set her down on the mattress and tried to go but Clary pulled me back.
"Stay," she whispered so I did. I climbed in besides her, pulling her into my arms and drifting off.
Clary's POV: (The next morning)
I woke up on a mattress, on the floor, under a comforter and in Jace's arms. Looking to the side I grabbed my phone. It was 10am. I got up, leaving Jace asleep, took a change of clothes from the suitcase and went to have a shower in my ensuite bathroom. When I had done that I pulled on my high waisted shorts and black tank top. Back in my room I found that Jace was awake.
"Morning sleeping beauty," I teased, kissing his forehead before pulling a brush through my hair.
"Morning gorgeous." Jace grinned and got up. When I saw he wasn't wearing a shirt I nearly had a heart attack. He grinned again.
"I'm not going to ask if you like what you see because I learnt my lesson," he told me before heading to his room. We all ate breakfast and at 11 am the moving van arrived.
"Everyone outside!" Mayrse ordered as I pulled on my shoes.
Nathan's POV (he's a new character):
It was 11 am when a moving van pulled up next door. I woke up my twin, Jake, and we headed outside to meet the new family. The front door opened and out walked a woman, a man, a boy about 10 years old, a raven haired beauty and a golden boy. The girl was tall with curves and long black hair. She looked like a smaller version of her mother. The golden boy turned around.
"Come on Clary!" He called and a musical voice yelled back.
"I'm coming!" A girl ran out then and I blinked. She had long red hair, porcelain skin and emerald green eyes. She wore shorts, a black tank top and converse.
"We should go over and help," Jake said. I nodded and we walked over. As we did so the red head picked up a whole table with one hand.
"Really Clary? Showing off?" Golden boy said. The girl, Clary, stopped, her face falling dead.
"I am not showing off. He," She spoke the word with venom, "trained me." Golden boy fell quiet.
"I'msorry," he said. Clary smiled and kissed his nose.
"It's not your fault," with that she carried the table into the house. I wondered who he was? Meanwhile the woman had spotted us.
"Hello, you must be the neighbours. We just moved in. I'm Mayrse, this is my husband, Robert. These are my sons, Jace and Max," Mayrse pointed them out in turn. "My daughter, Izzy," she pointed at the girl who was complaining about her nails. The red head ran back out. "And this is my- this is Clary," Clary walked over to us. She looked us up and down with her emerald green eyes and rolled her eyes.
"I'm their friends daughter," she said before turning to Mayrse. "I'm not letting you adopt me," with that she ran off again.
"I'm Nathan and this is my brother, Jake." I introduced ourselves and Mayrse shook our hands.
"I have to get going but you and your family are invited around for dinner at six." Mayrse headed back to the moving van.
We went back inside and told our parents about the neighbours and dinner. Our sister, Evey, ran down with a silly smile on her face.
"What is it now?" Jake asked.
"The blonde one is dreamy," she sighed and I groaned.
"Evey, I think he and the red head are dating," I told her. "They are her parents friends and she lives with them." At that Evey scowled.
Clary's POV:
The walls of my room were white so I could draw or paint on them. Mayrse had allowed me, saying that it would be more than silly scribbles. My room was huge, then again this house was massive. I had a walk in wardrobe, ensuite bathroom, balcony and floor to ceiling windows. I had put my double bed opposite the balcony doors so the light would shine through. My desk was on the opposite wall from the wardrobe. I didn't own any other furniture but Izzy said she wanted to change that. I finished unpacking at around four and went to explore the house. There were five floors. Mayrse and Robert were on the first floor. Jace, Alec and Max were on the second. Izzy and I were on the third. The fifth was the attic. The fourth floor had a music room, movie room, games room complete with pool table, and a library. Outside we had a swimming pool, a trampoline at Max's request, a swing seat and a set of outdoor furniture on the decking. The furniture consisted of two wicker sofas with white visions and six matching chairs. There was a glass topped table in the middle. At the other end of the decking was a hammock. Trees stood around the edge. With one big oak in the middle. I sat in the garden until I was called in to get changed for dinner.
