Clary's room was bright orange and her bed was a vibrant blue, just from that I could tell she was an artist also the paintings all over her walls gave it away too, she sat on her bad cross legged and a gestured for me to join her, so I to sat on the bed.

"I guess you're kind of freaking out a bit huh?"

"Well yeah, my world seems to be crashing down around me."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"Yeah okay, well it's not just this magic stuff."

"Oh, don't let Jace or Alec hear you say that they will bite your head off, it's not magic so to speak its power of angels, personally I think it's magic but they get offended when you say magic." I just laughed

"Does Jace hate me?"

"Why would you think that?"

"All the way from the alley to here all he could do was glare at me."

"Oh that's just Jace he is protective of everyone especially me and he doesn't trust people easy, plus I think he is intimidated of you."

"Intimidated? Of me?" I scoffed

"Well yeah, what I said in the kitchen was true we are very alike and I bet if Jace and I hadn't loved each other than he would have acted the same towards me, hell he did for some part. We intimidate him because we aren't afraid to speak our mind and we are also smart-arses, we are reckless and could probably kick his ass."

At that I burst into laughter and so did Clary

"Anyway, apart from that what else is bothering you?"

"Okay well to start it off I had a boyfriend, Riley, and we decided to keep our relationship a secret and then one day I went to his place and saw another girl with only her bra and a thong on grinding on top of him, I gave him one more chance next day same girl different place. Then I beat him up in front of everyone witch was pretty awesome but then I ran and killed that thing and well you know the rest."

"hmm at least you didn't think the guy you love was your brother who hated you and then kissed your real long lost brother thinking he was a nice guy who turned to try and destroy the world with our father who was an evil genius that raised hundreds of demons and then killed the guy you love but then an angel granted you a wish and he wasn't dead anymore and you woke your mum up from a coma were she explained that she stole your sight and lied to you for fifteen years!"

"HOLY SHIT, I so hope my life doesn't turn out to be as dramatic and eventful as yours. At least you got a happy ending sort of, its not really an ending just a new chapter in a way."

"True, anyway anything else you want to get off your chest or do you want to ask some questions?"

"Um, questions like what the hell is our job?"

"Okay well this," she picked up a metal tube with a tapered point "this is a Steele; it is a rune applicator we draw runes on our skin to protect us or hide us from the mundane world."

"Right, what's a mundane? And can I have a mark?"

"A mundane is a human with no shadow hunter abilities at all and you seem to be shadow hunter so I guess you could but you have to no the risk, because if you are a normal mundane it could drive you insane."

"Right, well you can create runes so just create one that will give me understanding or peace of mind."

"Okay, I'll try." She got her sketchpad and began to draw lines a few curves and flicks of the pen here some swirls and dashes there and one understanding rune she then took my arm and flipped it to the wrist and began to etch the rune into my skin, it stung a little but not the kind that hurt it was more of a tingle I stayed very still and her hand stayed very steady, I winced a little as she lifted it off my skin

"Feel I don't know any different?"

"Yeah it's like all my senses have become high def and does that always kind of sting a bit?"

"Yes it does; and good because if you weren't a shadow hunter before, you definitely are now!"

"Awesome! So when can I get more marks and like train and get weapons."

"Haha, slow down one step at a time. You got your first mark, you know a bit about Shadow Hunters I think it's time we get you a Steele and a Dagger to start you off. Now that you are one of us you will be in constant danger, demons can smell fear and talent and even if you don't have fear they can smell and sense when someone is new to business."

Clary began to get up but I just fell back onto the bed to just lie there for a minute so I don't have to get up exhausted from knowledge and power and know I am going to get weapons and learn to use them maybe.

"Come on, get up." Clary said cheerfully and slapped my leg "We can go get you a Steele and a Dagger, then we will get you fed and you can go to bed and when you wake up I'll teach you runes and how to throw the dagger and we can talk to Maryse and Robert, Izzy's parents. Okay?"

"Yeah sounds good, apart from the fact that I don't have any clothes."

"Oh well I have clothes you can use, we look about the same size they may not be like yours or Izzy's clothes but they will do until we can get you some."

"Okay, thanks Clary. You make me feel like one of you and not like an outsider like everyone else."

"Well I know what it's like to feel like an outsider, and although I love them they can be rather judgemental."

"Well anyway, thanks for everything."

I know the last to chapters are like whatever and thats cause I wrote them at like two in the morning so I was tired, and from now on there will be more action and new characters :)
