Jace's POV

I still miss Clary. I feel so lonely. I've made some new friends, but none of them are like Clary.

"Jace, come here! Some people are here to meet you!" Madame Dorothea calls out.

"Coming!" I say back getting up from our tree.

I wonder what this is about.

Jace's POV:

I enter the lobby and I'm greeted by the orphanage's cat, Church. He cocks his head to the side into what would seem like confusion.

Then I remember that Church was quite fond of Clary. I bend down and pet him, to which he purrs in response.

"She's not here anymore, buddy. I'm sorry."

If cats could be sad, I think Church was. He's response was so human, that if it weren't so sad, it would have been comical.

Just then, Madame Dorothea comes through the door.

"There you are, Jace! I've been looking for you everywhere!" she exclaims.

I don't say anything and look at her expectantly.

She ushers me through the hallways and brings me to a room, in which are two people. I think I saw them walking around the orphanage earlier in the day. She had glanced at me and smiled. I had reluctantly smiled back.

I was facing them now, they both had smiles on their faces. I put on a shy smile. I had no idea what was going on. The woman had long, jet black hair with a few gray streaks in it and blue eyes. The man was similar, his hair only shades lighter.

"Jace, this is Maryse and Robert. They want to meet you because they want to adopt you," said Madame Dorothea.

Oh. Was all I could think of.

Clary's POV:

I was getting used to living here. I already got along with the personnel of the house, and knew every room in the house. Jocelyn said I would be joining school soon. I was very excited, to say the least! I would be going to Institute St. Raziel.

I couldn't wait!

Jace's POV:

Maryse and Robert seemed like nice people. They already had two children, Isabelle and Alexander; who they told me I could call Alec.

I've thought it over, and I think I will go with them. It would be nice to get a new start, and have a family. So, I told Madame Dorothea my decision. I packed my stuff and went with them.

My new family.

…..

(Time skip)

…...

I've settled in my new room. It was medium sized and simple. I liked it.

I had also met the Lightwood children Alec and Izzy—as they preferred I called them. They were very nice and funny; I got along with them really well. They looked a lot like Maryse and Robert.

I was glad I got along with them. I think they were exactly as excited as Robert and Maryse were to have a new person in the family.

A/N:

I think I'm going to do a time skip, and have the big reveal when he sees her, in the next chapter. But, I don't know if I should write more backstory. HELP! So, post your review telling me what you think! XOXO
