AN: okay so first I'm very sorry for not continuing this story. I just had a lot of stuff going on and didn't really have the time or motivation to continue so I abandoned it. But a few days ago I reread my story and read all the reviews which said that you loved the story and I should continue, so I decided to try continuing this story. Just to let you know this is still going to be a clace fanfic and I'm not changing any earlier chapters only correcting some spelling mistakes. But I will stop rambling now, just enjoy the story and favourite follow or review maybe?
I still only own the plot and Cecelia the rest of the characters and the general story line belong to the ever so lovely Cassandra Clare.
Enjoy!
"What do you mean? Who is your uncle?" Alec asked 'here goes nothing' Cecelia thought 'I have to tell them someday, even though they will probably hate me know.' She took a deep breath and said "Valentine Morgenstern is my uncle."
Alec and Izzy were silent for a long time. "I have only seen him once tough and I hate him." Cecelia added "Why do you hate him?" Alec asked "Because he left me and my mother never bothering to tell her he was actually still alive. My mom almost killed herself that night, she couldn't cope with the fact she lost her husband and twin brother in one night." "You mean your mother was his twin sister?" Isabelle asked shocked. "Yes but barely anyone knew." Magnus answered for Celia. "So Jace & Clary are your cousins then?" Alec asked "Yeah, they're the only family I have left." Everyone was silent until Maryse came back with the food. Max walked in and sat next to Celia, with a comic book in his hands. Dinner was a quiet affair and after dinner Isabelle and Alec showed Celia her room, She got her bag and thanked them "Ehm would I be able to buy some clothes tomorrow? I didn't really have time to take much." Celia mumbled "Of course, I will come with you!" Izzy screeched happily "Well I'm leaving before you damage my hearing permanently. Good night Celia, Izzy." Alec said before hurriedly making his way down the hall, while shaking his head. "I'm only buying the necessary clothes Izzy, I don't even know how long I'm going to be staying here." Celia hurriedly explained to Isabelle. "Fine" Isabelle huffed "But I get to pick one outfit." "Fine." Celia agreed, more to get rid of Isabelle than anything else. After Isabelle left, Celia went inside and put the few belongings from her bag on to the bed. Her eyes caught sight of the comic and she decided to give it to Max straight away before she could forget. She wandered through the institute until she found Max. "Hey Max, this is the Comic I told you about earlier today, I hope you'll enjoy It!" She said while giving it to him. His face lit up and he thanked her profusely while hugging her. She hugged back, glad to finally make someone happy and do something good. He smiled before walking into his room probably to read the comic. She sighed and looked after him for a while until she turned around and tried to find her way back to her room.
When she got to her room she saw Clary sitting on her bed looking at the cover of her photo book. Cecelia closed the door a little loudly making Clary look up shocked "Sorry I didn't mean to look at your things but the drawing just caught my attention, it's very beautiful." Clary said while hurriedly getting up "It's okay don't worry I shouldn't have just left my stuff for everyone to see, Is anything wrong?" Celia answered cursing herself for again making someone scared/mad at her again today; she made a mental note to avoid future occurrences. "No I just wanted to thank you for comforting me." Clary said looking at the floor, cheeks slightly flushed. "That's okay, It kind of was my fault so it would only be the right thing to do." Celia answered "So how long are you staying here for? Not that I don't like your company or anything" Clary asked "I don't really know, until I find another solution I guess." Celia answered once again still standing in front of the closed door. "It's weird you know? Considering that a month ago I thought my Father was dead, and now I know he isn't and all of a sudden I have a brother and a cousin." Clary confessed after a long silence. "Yeah I know what you mean" Celia answered after a while. "If you don't mind me asking, who made that book?" Clary asked pointing at the Photo book in Celia's lap. "Your mother did actually; it was a gift to my parents when they married." Celia answered. Clary looked at the drawing and blinked, but as soon as it had come, her look of sadness was replaced by one of anger. "You know" Clary started "on one side I really miss my mom but I'm also mad at her for what she did to me, taking my memories for so long. I know she did it to supposedly protect me but still." Clary sighed in frustration. "Listen Clary, I'm not going to say your mom was wrong or you are, but just be glad that at least you have her back and know all that matters is for her to wake up. The exact story can wait till later. But now I think you should sleep, you look tired and you're still recovering." Celia said after a moment of silence "I'm still recovering? You're the one who is just allowed out of the infirmary." Clary answered while she was softly pushed out of Celia's room "yeah yeah goodnight Clary." Celia said Clary shakes her head and rolled her eyes before making her way to her own room. Celia closed the door and looked for her phone straight away; she decided some music was the only way for her to calm down enough to be able to sleep. She'd had some trouble sleeping the last couple of weeks and she didn't feel like wandering the institute in the middle of the night. The first song that came on was a Spanish song called "No digas nada" by cali y el dandee.
AN: So I'm not going to put all the lyrics of the song here because it's in Spanish and you would probably be bored. But you can look it up on YouTube. It's a very sweet song and if you want a translation just pm me! Now on with the story.
"No digas nada por favor,
Que hablando el alma me destrozas.
Quiero decirte tantas cosas,
Quiero acordarme de tu olor.
No digas nada por favor,
No vaya ser que me despierte
De un sueño en el que puedo verte,
Y aun puedo hablarte de mi amor.
Celia was softly singing along to the song not noticing that Jace had come in to the room and was standing in the doorframe. "Nice song, what's it about?" he asked after the song finished startling Celia slightly. "Oh uhm, about losing the one person you love and not being able to see her/him ever again more or less." She answered turning of the music on her phone and sitting down on her bed next to Jace. Jace looked thoughtful for a minute before saying "You know I feel like that sometimes with Clary. I'm sorry for bothering you." Jace sighed "It's just, I've tought for 6 years that I had no more family and now all of a sudden I have you and Clary. And don't get me wrong I'm very grateful for that it's just a big change and I'm not used to having family care for me and sharing my emotions with them." "Jace." Cecelia said after what felt like ages "I know better then anyone how you feel. I've been alone for such a long time, my uncle betrayed me and I killed him. I thought I'd never find anyone who'd care for me again and now all of a sudden I have 2 cousins who care for me, It's a big change to adjust to, trust me when I say that all will come with time and none of us are perfect." "Not even you." Celia added after seeing Jace's face. "Now if you don't mind I would like to at least try and get some sleep and so should you." Celia said while getting up and opening the door for Jace "Goodnight Jace I will see you tomorrow I assume." "Yes goodnight Cecelia, See you tomorrow." With that Jace smiled his significant smirk and left the room. Celia closed the door and slit down the back of it sighing deeply, the chance for her to sleep now after all this commotion today was very unlikely but she felt exhausted. She let herself fall on the bed and was asleep almost immediately, hoping for a nightmare free night.
Thanks for reading and I promise I will update more often now and with longer chapters. I have over a month of summer holidays left so I will try and write a large amount of the story I haven't already written and update once every 2 weeks or maybe more often. If you liked this story and this chapter please review, favourite or follow. Feedback is always welcome.
