The Shadow's Dawn- Chapter 3

Enjoy!

Full Summary:

Clary Fray is daughter of Valentine Morgenstern, the wicked and cruel father bent on making her life miserable. Ever since she was 5, he has abused and raped her. Clary's mother, Jocelyn, had gone missing when Clary was only 4 and a half. Her brother Jonathan, or Jon, had died in a car crash when she was 10. Clary is just about ready to give up, but then the mysterious Lightwoods show up at her school, and turn out to live right next door. Will Jace, Izzy, and Alec find out her secret? If so, will they help save the broken girl, or break her even more? I know, many stories are like this, but please give mine a try! All Human.


Clary POV, after school

"Hey, you can always spend the night at my house. Or at least I can walk you home," Sky offered. "My dad would kill me if I spent the night somewhere- and I don't know about you walking me home." Clary muttered.

"Well then, it's settled, let's go!" Sky said cheerily. My weirdo of a friend. Clary thought, smiling.

They jogged to Clary's house, and Clary was about to open the door when Valentine, her father, opened it. Oh shoot.. She thought, remembering what Valentine's latest job was as he layed eyes on Sky. "Well, Clary, who is your little friend here?" Valentine quiered.

"Oh why, I'm Sky Madeline Amberjade, your daughter's best friend." Sky said with a smile. Whoa, she knows how to hide her true feelings well. Clary thought, looking at Sky's casually light expression.

"Come inside, perhaps you'd like to sign up for a job?" Valentine offered. "No, I already know what your 'job' is, Mr. Morgenstern. I would not like to be a slave. Anyway, I also know how you treat your daughter. And no, she did not tell me, let's say I'm just a bit... sneaky." She said with a smirk. Valentine's face suddenly contorted in rage, and faster than she'd ever seen him move before, Clary watched Valentine grab Sky by the throat.

"I think you will be spending the night for awhile, won't you, Sky?" Valentine seethed. Her father threw Sky into the house and pushed Clary inside roughly before slamming the door. Clary, on an impulse to protect her friend, pushed Valentine. Valentine looked at her in shock, as Clary's eyes widened in shock and fear.

Valentine raised a hand to hit her, and Clary closed her eyes tightly, expecting the punch. But it never came. Opening her eyes, Clary saw that Sky had tackled her father. Valentine was underneath Sky, and Sky was sitting on her father, throwing punch after punch at his face.

But Valentine had had enough.

He threw Sky off of him with a roar off rage, and punched her in the throat. He hit Clary in the face, sending her flying to the floor. Valentine turned to the glass table in the living room, where he had a knife that Clary hadn't noticed before.

Valentine picked up the knife, an insane smile on his face. Sky and Clary started to get up, but Valentine kicked Clary hard in the gut, and kicked Sky in the face, directly on the nose, where blood started to flow.

Valentine picked Sky up by her throat and pinned her to the wall, where Clary could only scream and beg him to stop as he stabbed Sky in the stomach, twisting the knife agonizingly slowly.

He pulled out the knife, and Sky didn't even whimper in pain as blood stained her black clothing. She only glared at Valentine as he cut from above her left eye, all the way down, to her jaw bone. Oh my god.. Clary thought, horrified.

Valentine then cut Sky all the way across her collarbone. Then cutting deeper, he made a long gash down her right arm.

How was Sky not screaming or even whimpering in pain?!

Valentine then threw Sky into the glass table, which shattered into peices, and Sky did not move. She was breathing at least, but all the new scars and the stomach wound had weakened her, along with the wound in her thigh.

Clary gulped as Valentine turned to her, a malicious and manical grin on his face. All Clary wanted to do now was run.
