another chapter :) also, Jace will be in making an appearance soon, probably in the chap after next.
"It's been a long day, hasn't it?"
"You're telling me."
Simon had just helped me put the kids down for bed. I still can't believe how fast they accepted him!
Flashback...
"Kids, I want you to meet one of my friends that I love as dearly as you all. Uncle Simon, you can come in now."
Simon walked in and smiled gently at the kids. While Lilly, Elliot, and Melody stared at him, my Simon got up and walked over towards my best friend. He pulled on his pants leg and big Simon got on his knees and said, "Hi there little man."
My Simon cocked his head to the side and said, "Awr you the man I named after?" I smirked and Si said, "I suppose I am. Did you know that the name Simon means, 'to be head' I bet you can be pretty stubborn, can't you?"
My baby smirked now and nodded. Elliot spoke up now from beside me. "What does my name mean?" And Melody said, "What about mine?" I laughed as each of my kids ran over to him. Well, except for Lilly. She staid by me and blew raspberry's into my arm.
End Flashback...
Everyone gathered in the living room and chatted. Finally, after a bit, I said, "Guys, I think that I should come clean with something else. Something I've known about since just a little after the kids were born. And I don't know how y'all are going to feel about it either. But, here it is." I take a deep breath.
"Adreona had taken me out for the day because she thought that I could use some peace and quiet. So we went to the store, then the park. I...felt weird. Like, something was going to happen to me. And it did. I was sitting in a tree with her and I started to fall. But...I never hit the ground.
That's when...I saw my back glowing. Turns out, I have wings. And that's not all. You know my extra angel blood?Well, it doesn't just give me the ability to make new runes. I can also read Angelic. It's the words of the angels. I can speak some, but not enough to count.
So, yeah. I have wings. They're big enough to carry me and one person. Well, Adreona. That's why we'd leave some days. So that we could figure out my powers. I actually mastered them pretty fast.
The point I'm making is that more than likely, the kids will have wings too. I...don't know if they will, it's just a feeling, but I'm almost positive that they will. We'll have to train them and keep them in hiding until they learn to keep their powers hidden. If you guys don't want to help me-or even let us stay here-I'll totally understand. I've lied to you, munched on your food for years now, and now, you have to deal with us being freaks."
My throat tightens, holding back the tears, as I wait for someone to say something. Anything. Are they disgusted? Will they let me stay here still?
Simon was the one to speak. "I think being part ange is anything but a freak. It's amazing. And Clary, how could you think that they would kick you out now? They've dealt with you for this long. And they still want you, even after you told them the truth. Ask them. I'm sure I'm right."
Maddy nodded as my gaze fell on her. "Of course you're right. Why would you even think that we wouldn't love you and want you Roe? We love and want you here. You and the kids. Don't you dare think other wise. You are our family and family stays together no matter what."
Family...they...really think I'm family...Tears streamed down my face now and I cried, "I don't have a family! My own mother tried to kill my babies! My father tried to take over the Clave! All I have is me and my kids!" I fall to my knees and cry.
Lucas falls to his knees next to me and pulls me to his chest. "Do you know how wrong you are? We all love you and you are a part of our family. So don't you dare say other wise. Hell! Simon over here is your family! Why else would he come here?"
He was right. As I cried into his chest, I realized he was right. Everyone here was my family. And thanks to them, I finally felt like things would always get better.
**At the end of the week...**
Today was the day Simon had to go back. And me and the kids were all sad. None of us wanted him to leave. The kids especially. They really loved their uncle Si. Yes, since it was too confusing to remember which Simon was needed at times, my baby was either "Lil Simon" or just plain old Simon. The other was "Si", "Big Si", or some version of "Uncy."
It was decided that since I missed Si so much, I would spend a day or two with him. Yes, I know that the Lightwoods were still there, but I didn't care. I just wasn't ready to let him go yet. We were going to talk more now, but visits were going to be harder. We both agreed to at least once a month thought.
This week with him had made me just how big a piece of my heart was missing. And unfortunately, that piece was New York. There were things that I did and did not miss. But eventually, I'd have to face the things I didn't like anyways.
Anyways, Simon brought back the kid in me. Sure, that kid had kids of her own, but a kid none the less. Like, on the third day, we both changed our hair. We died our hair brown. He put in a red streak in his, and I put in blue. Of course, mine turned out to be low lights. And, we did a good job if I say so myself. Seeing as we did it all by ourselves in my bathroom.
On the day that we were going to leave, Joe told me that if I wanted to stay over with Si for a few days, they'd take the kids camping. I agreed, knowing that the kids loved camping. And Si was more than happy to take me in.
I packed a bag for three days and Si and I said good bye to everyone. I'd miss my babies like crazy, but I know they'd be safe and have a great time. "You ready to go?" I nodded. "Come on." I made the portal and stepped threw.
Since I had never been to his apartment, I took us to the park. Right when the portal closed, Si turned to me and smirked. "So, wanna see how fast I've become?" Before I can answer, he threw me onto his back and started running.
Next thing I know, he's setting me down, laughing, "Welcome to my building." I grabbed his arm, because I would've fell other wise, and said, "I hate you Simon Lewis. You could've warned a girl!" he just chuckled more and pulled my by the hand up into his building. This was going to be one hell of a mini-vacation.
The next day...
When I was up and dressed, we went and got me breakfast. Si had called Izzy and told her that he was back, but not to come over because he was still, "doing some shit for Raphael."
The day was spent going around New York and reminiscing. It was a great day! One of the best I've had in years! And that night, we decided to go partying. A.K.A. Pandemonium. Sure, there wasn't clubs in WV where demons hung out, but there were plenty of hang outs.
I slipped on the little black dress and knee high boots I had brought with me-because I had a feeling we might go partying- and we left in his car. Did I mention he has a Audi Quattro Concept in black? (AN-I'm going to put a link to a picture of it on my profile) That car is just...Beautifully amazing!
At the club, we managed to kill 5 demons in just an hour! When we were at the bar, Si said, "You're really good at this Fray." "Of course. Rowena is famous in West Virginia for her skills." And I was. Being a mother of 4 actually made me more aware of my surroundings. Hey, a mom has to make sure that her kids grow up safe.
"Think you can handle two miss thang?" He nodded towards the two boys across the floor. "Yep. This should be easy." I finish my drink and strut over. They're both blond. The taller wears jeans and a button down. The shorter has jeans and a t-shirt.
I put my hand on my hip and smile seductively at them. "Hey boys. Looking for some fun?" The taller purrs, "Think you can handle us?" I smirk, then 'accidentally' brush the front of their jeans with my hands. "I think the question is, can you two handle me?"
They follow me to the back room and I attack one with my lips. As he's up against the wall, I press my hand against his chest and blast him with a bolt of energy. In an instant, he's dead and I turn to the other and say, "Thought y'all couldn't handle-" But I'm cut off by the claws that are currently resting in my stomach. I gasp and he growls, "Dammed little girl."
He yanks his claws out and I fall to the floor. The world blurs and my body begins to numb, but I know Si's taking care of the demon now. I soon feel his hands on me. "Clary! Hold on, OK? I'm not going to let you die. Stay awake and fight it Clary! Do it for the kids!" My...kids...
I stay awake threw the drive, not knowing where we're going. All I can think about is staying awake and fighting the urge to give in. I do it for my kids. I can't die. I can't make them orphans before they even turn 2. So all I can do is fight the poison coursing threw my veins.
Faintly, I hear Simon talking to someone on the phone. "Look, you gotta help...You have to heal her...Family...don't tell anyone..."
The car stops and arms lift me up. Voices...people are talking. What am I laying on? Why is it cold?
Why can't I move? Why can't I say anything?
"Clary? Clary, can you hear me?" Who's that? It sounds like Simon...
"She should wake up very soon." Who's this? I know it's not Simon. But it sounds familiar.
Feeling began to come back to my body. My fingers twitched and I groaned in pain. "Clary! Thank goodness you're alright!" My eyes fluttered open and I saw Simon. I whispered dryly, "S-Simon..? What happened?" I tried to sit up and it hurt.
As his arm slid behind me to help me sit up, he said, "Easy there. Take it slow. That demon got you pretty good. It's poison claws pierced your stomach. You're lucky this time." I was poisoned? Then how did he save me?
"Simon, how did you save me? You can't make izates. And where are we? I know this isn't the club or your apartment." He smiled gently. "I brought you to a friend's house. He saved you." Who...? Before I could ask, I heard a mans voice say, "You bet you vampire ass I did." It couldn't be...
But there he was. Standing almost directly in front of me, was none other than Magnus Bane.
oh! cliffy! BTW, who should appear in the next chap? Izzy or Alec? maybe both?
