The Past

Jocelyn had loved Clary with her entire heart.

The moment she was born and opened her eyes.

Jocelyn had fallen in love instantly, but something was wrong with the baby, Jocelyn couldn't really tell.

It was like a sixth sense to her.

Clary opened her mouth wide and then so suddenly, a huge wail escaped her lips.

Jocelyn frowned at her baby, before her husband Valentine moved toward them reaching Clary and then suddenly her cries stopped and a

giggle passed through her pale lips.

"We have to wait for 3 days till her return...if she survive."

Lightning flashed throughout the sky frightened Clary when she finally came to. She glanced around and found herself in the middle of no where with only her stele as her protection.

"Magnus?" She called out unsure of where she's at. There was no responses. Emma and Julian wasn't here too. Clary felt herself go all numb with fright. Lightning flashed across the sky once more lightning the path all around her. Clary shivered in the cold ice rain that fell all around her. Her clothes being soak with each passing second.

'I'm here for Jace.' Clary reminded herself firmly, finally gathering enough courage to keep on walking. Her legs already felt very sore while walking in the harshness of the mud. Clary pressed her stele against her arm and softly she closed her eyes for a moment imaging a symbol for warmth. A rune that will keep her warm and protected from the rain. She began to draw and she felt her skin beginning to burn a bit. The human part of her protested against the rune, but her Shadowhunter blood protected her from such damage. Soon she didn't feel the cold as much as before.

Clary walked for about ten minutes before she saw something dark flash beside her. The shadow was quick and her blood froze within her skin. Her heart raced with each passing second in its company, and she didn't need Jace to tell her if this was a demon or not. She knew deep down it was, but she didn't know how strong it was. The shadow paused on top of a tree branch looking down at Clary, and she found herself stop moving. The demon was a lesser bird demon. The bird demon showed its fangs down at Clary.

"Well, well what do we have here? A little human lost at night?" The demon bird chuckled rather mercilessly, and Clary managed to stood her ground for so long within its company. This was actually the first time for her to see a real demon other than her brother's and his minions. This was the first time that she faced a demon. Clary wasn't stupid. No, she was far from that. She knew that this demon wouldn't leave her be. She was a good meal ticket to him.

"Shadowhunter." Clary snarled at him, "If I'm a human, I wouldn't be able to see you, bird." She replied to him. The demon bird snarled at her rude response, not expecting the human girl to speak to him like that at all. The bird wasn't the brightest of the batch. Clary knew that at this moment this will change her life. The way she view things and she would no longer be that same girl as before.

"I bet you're tasty, come here little girl!" The bird crowed lunging itself down at Clary, who jumped out of the demon's way rather clumsy. 'Think!' Clary screamed within her head gaining her balance she swirl her stele toward the demon bird very clumsy almost dropping her stele. 'A rune of protection' Clary thought and soon the bird collided into her, but she didn't fall. No she didn't because the rune that she drew at the last moment reflected the bird back with a strong push.

The demon screamed in pain and soon the demon turned into a pile of ashes in the night's rain. Clary looked down at her stele in shock. She done it. She won. She fought a demon and won.

'Now, to find Jace.' Clary reminded herself, and she forced herself to run down the dirt path. She was still scared from the battle, but now she found herself a little more confident in her abilities. Her few abilities that she have now. It made her feel ensured that she's able to protect herself. She saw a few dark shadows once more and she cussed. She was about to ducked into a nearby bush to hide when she heard human voices. Voices that doesn't sound at all demonic as the bird.

"Some of the slaves have escaped again, last night." A man spoke harshly, a hood covered his head.

'Slavers.' Clary dodged within the bush anyway, deciding she's much safer there than in the open. Men can be most evil too, beside demons.

Clary searched her brain in some part to figure out which time period that the United States still have slaves.

"Damn Negros." His partner hissed angry,

"If it wasn't the last escapee, we wouldn't have to make rounds here every 20 minutes"

The two men walked passed Clary's bush. Clary slowed backed up and soon she stepped on a trig.

The two figures stopped.

"Hey what is that noise?"
