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's POV

"It seems that Sky was almost murdured, then dragged herself to your home to give you the note before she died. We believe the killer is Valentine Morgenstern, who had broken out of jail approximately 43 hours ago." Officer Penhallow explained.

Clary looked at her shaking hands, tearing her gaze away from Sky's parents, Jaye and Mark. Both had red-rimmed eyes which were streaming with tears, their cheeks were red, and Jaye even had a runny nose. "My beautiful d-daughter was m-murdured by V-valentine? Didn't he want revenge on C-clary?" Jaye whimpered, her voice heavy with grief and tears.

"Yes. He probably though the best way to get revenge was to make Sky die in Clarissa's arms. It is a very insane idea, but it has worked. Sky had given Clarissa a note from Valentine himself. On it was written, Erchomai, which means I am coming. We believe he will kill more people unless we stop him."

Clary felt tears sting her eyes, and knew she was about to cry again. Her father, the insane schycopath murder who is bent on revenge. She truly did not like her father. If she hated him before, that is nothing compared to what she felt now.

Hands clenched into fists, Clary's knuckles turned white. Why do I have to be me? Why can't someone else be me? Can't I be happy for once? She thought angrily.

"Valentine is sick and twisted. He has been for years. He's the reason my mother left. He's been abusing me since the age of 5." Clary said quietly, "But he has taken his insane ways too far. He's hurt other people. I can handle him hurting me- but never anyone else."

Officer Penhallow nodded. "For now, you should stay home for awhile. We will try to track him down-" Clary cut him off. "I am going to school, sir. Knowing Valentine, it will take awhile for his plan to go into action." She muttered.

He nodded. "Fine. But we will keep more police in the school." He said. Clary nodded slightly.

A few weeks later (I don't like Time Traveling, but I can't think of much stuff to put inbetween the action..)

Sitting in the back seat, Clary rode to school with Jace, Alec, Izzy, and Magnus. Magnus was a tall guy, kinda asian, with spiky hair and black eyeliner. He had pink tips on his hair today- and as always he was wearing glitter. It turns out that they all had become good friends. Jace and Clary turned out to like eachother, but never really told eachother. Alec had become a good friend and was currently dating Magnus Bane. Izzy filled in the empty space that Sky's death had left, and was dating Simon.

Turns out Simon never really did lie about having a hot girlfriend.

They parked in their parking lot space and went inside the school. Clary waved goodbye to her friends and went with Simon to their first class.

Time Break To Lunch

Clary, Izzy, and Simon walked towards the lunchroom, where thye would meet up with Alec, Magnus, and Jace.

That was, until the fire alarm when off.

"This is not a drill!" The princibal's voice boomed through the speakers before there was a yell. Then, along with the fire alarm, an intruder alarm went off. "Intruuddderrrr..." The alarms stopped, and the three friends looked at eachother with wide eyes.

"Hide." Clary said, just as their other friends ran over to them. "The attic?" Jace asked. "Yep." Simon answered before they all bolted towards the attic door. They climbed up the stairs- after closing the door of course- and hid in silence behind all the dust-covered stuff. Then the speakers went on. "This is Valentine Morgenstern." Valentine's voice boomed, making everyone stiffen in shock, fear, and dread.

"I have started a fire and locked the doors, trapping you all inside. You will all burn to death unless I get what- or who- I want. You have half an hour to find Clarissa Morgenstern and send her to room 13 on the 2nd floor." The speakers turned off, and Clary started to cry. Jace hugged her closely. "Clary, we're not turning you in."

Clary shook her head. "But we have to, unless you want everyone in the school to burn to death!" She wailed, and they suddenly heard a gunshot. The speakers turned on again. "I am sending my men to find Clarissa. If anyone tries to keep her hidden from me, they are to die." Clary's eyes widened.

"They're killing people, guys! I have to give myself to Valentine or he'll kill everybody!" She shrieked. Her friends fell silent, obviously wanting to keep Clary safe, but not wanting everyone in the school to die.

Clary broke out of Jace's grasp and darted down the stairs. Jace yelled for her to stop, but she ignored him.

Clary threw open the door and shrieked when she ran into one of her father's men. He grabbed Clary by the hair and demanded, "Who are you? Are you Clarissa Morgenstern?" In a voice that sounded like he was yelling.

Scared out of her mind, Clary nodded with wide eyes. "I- I like to be called Clary Fray, not Clarissa Morgenstern." She added angrily. The man laughed. "He said that you'd say something like that."

Taking out a small hand-radio, the man turned it on and said, "Hey boss, I found her." From the other side of the line, Clary heard Valentine laugh and say, "Good. Bring her to me."

The man dragged Clary to the room, despite her protests, and took her inside. That is where she came face-to-face with Valentine himself.

"Clarissa, my dear." Valentine said with a smile, his arms wide as though he were expecting Clary to run up to him and hug him. He wore black leather with weapons covering almost every inch of his body.

"You liked your gift, yes? Now it is time to take you away, Clarissa; we can live happily ever after." He purred, and Clary cringed, shrinking away. Valentine's face contorted in anger and rage. "Don't you dare cower away from me, Clarissa!" He boomed. "We are going to go home now, weather you like it or not-"

"No!" Clary yelled. "I am not going with you!"

Valentine, in a deathly calm voice, growled. "Did you just talk back to me, Clarissa?" Clary's eyes widened in fear. "Yes, I- I just talked back to you. I am not going with you, Valentine. You are the reason mom left, not me. You hurt me for years and years, and for what? Your own enjoyment." She spat. "And- and you killed Sky!"

Her father tsk'ed. "No, Clarissa, you killed her." He said. "No I didn't you sick and twisted excuse for a person!" Clary screamed at him.

Valentine shook his head. "Oh, poor poor Clarissa." He said, taking out something long and silver from his belt. A gun. He aimed it at Clary's head. "I was hoping I wouldn't have to use this."

The door burst open behind Clary and she screamed as policemen streamed into the room. But with the police, there was the loud bang of a gunshot.

And Clary's world went black.

Okay, hope you guys lickie that new Cliffer! Yeah... pretty awesome, right? Now the big questions come. What about Jace and the others? The fire? The other students? Is Valentine going to prison again? And the biggest of all...
