Clary's POV!
'Today is the tenth anniversary of the loss of two of the most respected buisnessmen in New York, Jocelyn and Valentine Morgenstern. The couple died in a fatal crash after being hit by a truck and knocked off the Brooklyn Bridge. However, no one could fully say what happened that day but many people were most worried about the deceased's children Jonathon Morgenstern aged 12 and Clarissa Morgenstern aged just 6 at the time. To add to the caous of this day it had been Clarissa birthday that day and the couple were thought to be driving to her birthday party in Brooklyn. We offer our condolences to the ch...' Let me just stop them just there I don't want to hear about these fake condolences they are just stupid and they are never going to be said to my face so they may as well just shut their mouths.
Oh how rude of me please let me introduce myself. I am Clarissa Morgenstern. Yes I am the 'tragically depraved of a good role model' Clarissa Morgenstern; daughter to Jocelyn and Valentine Morgenstern. I still remember the look of dispair on my brothers face on that day while I was sitting on the big chair in my favourite bakery's birthday room dressed as Ariel surrounded by the richest peoples children who were all my supposed friends. I remember wondering why my brother looked so sad on my birthday when the police officer turned up and took him out of the room to tell him the news. I didn't really understand what happened due to my age but I do remember the nice lady social careworker Madeline telling me how I was going to Washington to be with family. My brother, although no one knows why, did not come with me and he was sent to well I don't really know where. I have never heard or seen him since.
Anyway, my life in Washington was a huge surprise! I was adopted by the lightwoods who weren't technically family but they were close family friends with my parents but as I was saying my life was extremely different to before. Well, only once I turned 12 before that they were just kind and loving and well normal. Now don't get me wrong they were still loving and kind towards me; they are the best step parents you could have it was just... well, they were running a mafia. My family mafia to be exact. That's right my parents were the presidents of a mafia. I know you may be like why in Washington if they lived in New York and believe me I was confused too but what it was was that they were trying to hide it from us so when they went on 'buisness' trips to Washington they were meeting my step parents to pass on the orders that they would give to the rest of the mafia through a phone call and everyone was none the wiser.
My parents mafia which is technically now mine is called 'The Shadowhunters' and boy was I suprised. My life changed when I was 12 because that was when my parents had instructed the Lightwood's to introduce me to the mafia. Before I continue I need to tell you something about the Lightwood's. Firstly, they had three kids Isabelle or Izzy who is 16 like me, Alexander or Alec who is 19 and lastly, sigh, Maxwell or Max, he's 14. Lastly, well, Max is in a coma. It was 4 years ago so when I had just turned 12 infact (this is even worse) it was on my birthday. We were coming out of the Washington Institute (our main base) and I had just had a tour of the base and met all the important people and boy does it feel good to have power; anyway, we were walking out of the institute and gun shots were streaming towards us and all of the adults ran to cover me thinking their kids would do what they were to do in situations like these but Max was too slow and got shot in the shoulder, stomach and leg he was quickly taken to hospital and he was put through surgery and he was fine but he is still in a coma.
Ever since that day I became extremely close with the Lightwood's especially Izzy. Infact she is my 'parabatai' which means my fighting partner and best friend. We even have matching 'runes' or tattoos. I have multiple other ones representing Strength, Agility etc. but anyway ever since that day me and Izzy have been trained together thouroughly in every aspect of the mafia life plus my bedroom at the institute is the biggest room I have ever seen. I have been educated in things from family heritage, to rivals to weaponry and apparently I have thrived anyway Me and Izzy and Alec have been a team ever since those fatal days and I never go out without one of them with me.
Anyway, today me and Izzy are doing our normal day of the week and we are currently at our private gym in the middle of New York because 2 years ago I was sent here to meet the other half of my mafia turns out that I have 3 times the recruits here than in Washington. Anyway so we are in the gym while Alec runs the perimeter to check we're safe while we discuss the Herons our rival mafia in New York. I think I made my message clear when I found out one of my recruits that had stole from me so I did what any normal mobster 16 year old girl did. I cut off his hands and carved an 'S' into his chest and (not personally) dropped off his body on the steps of his institute.
The great thing about living under the radar for 10 years is that there is no one (other than the ones I trust and have know for 10 years) that knows anything definite about my appearance and also because they don't know that and I cover my runes with coverup they can never find out unless someone squeals which they won't I've made sure. I also make a habit of gooing out in public and setting up a fake life for my fake persona, this means that I can check on all my buisness's without anyone knowing I'm doing so take today for instance I am going to Pandemonium to check out how it's going and my usual hook up for the day. Hey I'm no slut but I do like to get drunk and it's always with a stranger I don't know but determine are safe enough to sleep with.
As we approach Pandemonium Izzy gets a text from Alec saying that Jace Herondale is going to be up at the club and Izzy then says "Hey Clary, they're over there talking to Bernie you gonna let them in free tonight?" she smirks and laughs and I smile back and simply respond with "Tease, Torment and Torture. Make sure Alec has eyes on at all times." Izzy quickly texts that to Alec and we head through the swarm of gaping Heron Mobsters and kiss bernire at the same time on either cheek and he lets us through, even he doesn't know I own this club he just knows I am a Morgenstern and have powerful contacts, Izzy walks in and I quickly whisper to Bernie "Let them in free and put it on my tab make sure they behave themselves I don't want a rucus tonight. Understood? Good." I then glance back at the blond god in his black button down and casual slacks. God he's hot. I walk to the VIP door give the secret knock and turn to look at the mobsters again and I notice one of the boys is the one who Maia wanted to give her number to after a hook up so I pledged to tel him tonight. I then turned opened the door and strutted in adding a large swing in my hips.
Upstairs in the VIP room I immediatly walked over to Izzy at our usual couch which was right in front of the black out windows that only our side could see through no one downstairs knew that. We had our usual drinks ordered and brought to us but I held up my hand to stop them from bringing it over to us as I saw Alec string at one of the couches by the visable wall of the club and suddenly turned to me and nodded at me to tell me he has eyes on the Herons so I looked at Izzy smirked and we rose at the ssame time straightened out our dresses and I gestured the serving boys to follow us. We strode along the dance floor until we stopped at the table of Heron Mobsters. We arrived just as Penny had fiinished taking orders and I cut her off and said "Put those drinks on my tab Penny. Don't bother the gentlemen with stupid thingls like bills and me and Izzy would like to help deliver those drinks to these fine gentlemen as well if that's OK." Penny looked shocked. I never come down here and she stuttered out " Of, o-o-of course right away." I was just turning back to the table when Jace said "You didn't need to do that Red I am perfectly capable of getting a round for my lads and I. Would you and your friend like a drink I'm sure Penny would be most gracious as to get you two lovely ladies a drink." Izzy snickers from beside me as I click my fingers and the two serving boys carry over a two person love seat for Izzy and I and we both sit at the same time while crossing our legs at the same time as well. The looks on some of these boys face are lusty and hungry and I decide to say "We and Izzy don't need lads such as you to buy us a drink for all we know you could drug the drink and rape us and our poor unfortunate souls will be ruined forever. But don't worry I'll make sure we have enough to drink. Hey and if you get drunk enough and I'm drunk enough maybe I will let you make a move that will fail epially. Let's start now." I then snap my fingers and the serving boys come back with our drinks and I hand one to Izzy making sure she sees the look in my eyes and then we both down our drinks and slam the glasses on the table and look at each other and burst out laughing at the look of awe and surprise on some of the boys face but I still keep glaning at the Golden God Jace and it is bugging me. Izzy then looks at the boys and notices Jordan and says "Maia. The girl you hooked up with last night wants your number beofre you hook up again and if you treat her badly..." she then looks at me knowing what I will have planned for him if he does anything wrong and I finish Izzy's warning by saying " I will grab your stupid ass drag it to the brooklyn bridge strip you naked castrate you and feed it to people in this club. Understand." Jace then gets a serious look on his face and says "What is your name Red?" abd I just reply simply "Clarissa Garroway at your service gentlemen. Pleased to make your acquaintance. You may know of me from the news about my parents." All their jaws drop and me and Izzy share a smug look and guides me to the bar where we pick up the boys drinks and help Penny carry them over we both make sure to lean forward far enough for most of them to see a bit more skin and boy are their faces priceless.
*3 hours later and too much alcohol later*
Me and Izzy have been drinking and dancing like crazy. Izzy got a text saying the plan was underway and that Jace was successfully Teased, Tortured and Tormented and was leaving with the rest of the mobsters now to which I yelled out 'Oi. Goldylocks, tomorrrow tell your whore of a secretary to keep it in her pants and stay away from my friends. Mention Simon and she'll know who I' talking about. I would question where he loyalty lies if I where you." He glares and storms out the club followed by his mobsters. Well this was a good night.
