Chapter 2: The Real Story Begins (Two Years Later)

Simon's Pov

"So where are you two heading tonight?" Jocelyn asked me as Clary went to finish getting ready. Tonight I was taking Clary out to celebrate her 18th birthday, just the two of us. And I was hoping that, if I got her parents blessing, to tell her the truth about the big secret they've been keeping in the dark for her whole life. You see about a year after I discovered the Shadow World I uncovered the shocking news that Jocelyn was a Shadowhunter and her ex husband, Clary's biological father, was the notoriously dangerous and deadly enemy of the Clave and Downworld Valentine. Digging a little deeper I also found out that Luke was also a Shadowhunter and Valentine's parabatai until he was bitten by a werewolf. So when I got all the facts straight and the proof to back it up I confronted them and demanded them to tell me everything, and they did. It was a heated confrontation followed by a tense few weeks where whenever all three of us were in a room together or with Clary we had to bite our tongues before we said something we shouldn't. Things did get better but Luke and I were still at odds with getting Jocelyn to gave about letting Clary in, hopefully tonight we could finally break her.

"I'm not sure, it all depends on you" I told her and she gave me a weird look.

"Since when have you and Clary done anything I tell you" She teased and her and Luke let out a laugh but it died down quickly when I kept a straight face. They gave each other a nervous look before turning to me with rapt attention. I stared at them in silence for a beat, gathering up my courage before I told them what they might not want to hear.

"I want us to tell Clary the truth about everything. About Shadowhunters, Valentine, all of it. I'm hoping to have your blessing so you'll help me help her get through this. I know you're just trying to protect her Jocelyn but you can't avoid this forever, this is her world more than it is mine and I've known about it for two years. Clary will find out the truth eventually whether you like it or not so don't you think it should come from us so we can prepare and protect her?"

Jocelyn stayed quiet, either thinking too much and too fast to get a word out or too angry to even give me a response. I got my answer when without notice she walked away from me, not even bothing to glance my way. I plopped down next to Luke and put my head in my hands, I knew that this wasn't going to go over well. He put a supportive hand on my shoulder but it didn't do anything to calm my nervous stomach. Suddenly I heard footsteps coming towards us and I stood up and put on a fake smile, thinking it was Clary ready to head out but I was surprised to turn around and see Jocelyn staring at me with a wary look holding an old box.

"Okay, I'll do it. But give her a great birthday first, give her one last night of being a normal girl. Then Luke and I will meet you and we'll talk to her together" I was happy that Jocelyn and I were finally on the same page but I also felt sad for her. I could see that a part of her knew I was right but she still had her doubts, she pratically had to force herself to tell me but in the end she knew she couldn't keep this a secret forever, and at least she could control how Clary found out.

"Thank you Jocelyn, so where should we do this?" We all paused but it was easy to pick the perfect place.

"Pandemonium" We spoke in unison. It was the best place to take her and tell her because she would have a good time there and if needed we would be backed up by Magnus Bane, who happened to be the owner. I found out about him when Jocelyn confessed to me that she had Clary's memory wiped when she accidently came face to face with a demon when she was 10, she also told me that it was that event that motivated her efforts to keep Clary hidden from the Shadow World. It took a few weeks but I managed to get her to tell me his address so I could talk with him but what she didn't tell me was that she warned him that I would show up. As soon as I reached his door he opened it and gestured for me to come inside and sit down. Before I said anything he told me that I would tell him anything I wanted to know, I was there for hours. I asked him about Clary, why he wiped her memories and why he hadn't gone to her himself. I asked him about the Downworld, comparing notes on what he told me versus what Jace, Izzy and Alec had taught me during my lessons. We ended up eating dinner together, which Magnus portaled from his favorite restaurant in Indonesia where he told me he was born. The talk went very well and it gave me a much deeper understanding of the world I had stumbled into, and Magnus is a very interesting but remarkable man. To this day we still meet a couple times a month, lunch or dinner depending on where he decides to take me. And every time he takes me to someplace new because he insists that I could learn more about history and different cultures from him than any teacher or textbook because he's actually lived it, and I wasn't going to tell him that he's wrong. I didn't even notice that I had zoned out thinking about my relationship with Magnus until Jocelyn called my name.

"I just called Magnus and told him the plan, he's on board and will have the place prepared and protected if something goes wrong. Also he's looking forward to seeing you and meeting Clary officially, he's been as eager to tell her as you have"

I was about to respond but Clary came back dressed and ready to party in her favorite red dress and leather jacket. Seeing her like this used to give me butterflies, sometimes I would even stutter! But after meeting Jace I knew that what I felt for her wasn't love, I do but love her but as a best friend or a sister.

"How do I look?" Clary asked as she gave us a twirl.

"Beautiful Miss Birthday Girl! Ready to head out?" I asked as I extended my arm, she giggled and took it. We were off but not before she said goodbye to her parents. Getting to my beat down van we buckled up and I was about to take this party on the road before my phone went. When I looked at the message I smiled, it was Jace.

'About to head out on a mission, meet with us at the usual place when you're done with Clary?'

Love J.W

"Is that your mystery man you refuse to tell me the name of?" Clary questioned after I sent a quick response and got out on the road.

"Yeah...we're meeting up later"

"So will I finally get to meet him or are you planning on hiding him from me forever?" She demanded, a stern face but a slighty joking gleam in her eyes. I couldn't answer but I honestly wasn't sure when I'd introduce them, first I wanted to see if Clary took every thing okay, one step at a time. I was saved from answering when we pulled up at Pandemonium.

Before we went in I exchanged my hoodie for a black leather jacket that the gang had got me for my 18th a few months ago when before I could get in on another one my birthday gifts caught Clary's eye.

"Simon when did you get a tattoo?" She pushed up my tee shirt sleeve to reveal a black ink tattoo but it wasn't any tattoo, it was a rune. I know that I'm not a Shadowhunter so I can't physically have one without turning into a Forsaken and no one wanted that. But I was given the title of "honorary shadowhunter" after I turned 17 as a present from Jace, he said "after all the training and lessons we've given you the only thing your missing is a rune and angel blood". Anyway when I told Magnus about this it gave him the idea to magically tattoo one on me as his token to me, it doesn't have the same abilities as real runes do but with Magnus's magic it does have a little bit of a kick to it. He rigged it so that whichever rune I chose it would mimic its power but at a lower level, so for the peace of mind of my friends and myself I decided to go with the Heal/Painless rune. We tested it out and it worked beautifully so now when I get hurt the tattoo's magic will take effect and I will heal faster.

"It reminds me of the pictures I've been drawing..." She trailed off, staring at it with curiousity. Before either of us could say anything more a guy walking by accidently bumped into Clary and as she turned to give the guy a piece of her mind I was stunned to see that it was Jace in his mission gear with Izzy and Alec a few feet away staring at us stunned and probably nervous that this could go out of hand. But Jace played his part beautifully and pretended not only to not know who Clary was but also faking that he saw me and was surprised that Clary could see him. As they swiftly walked away, no doubt going to complete their mission, Clary turned to be angry and annoyed.

"Can you believe that guy? What a jerk!" Clary exclaimed and I hated that I had to play the idiot, but thank god that wouldn't last much longer.

"Um I didn't see anyone Clary, were you talking to yourself or did you get a new imaginary friend that I don't know about?" I tried to tease, make a joke about it but it only made her more upset.

"Simon there was clearly someone right there!" She exclaimed, gesturing wildly to where Jace had stood seconds ago. I wanted to come out and say 'hey Clary guess what? That guy is my boyfriend and also happens to be a Shadowhunter which is what you are, surprise!' but it wasn't time yet.

"You know what? Let's just go inside and celebrate your birthday! Let's just have fun and forget the world!" I told her excitedly, hoping she'd take the bait. I got lucky when she smiled and dragged me inside. First thing I did was scan the crowded dance floor for a familiar face and found it off to the side sitting on a sofa surrounded by men and women dressed as flashy and glamorous as he was. He turned towards to me and when he caught my eye he winked and raised his glass to me in a toast, his way of saying good luck.

I came back when Clary grabbed my arm and began to drag me over to the bar. I tried to tell her that the bartender wouldn't go for it because her fake I.D sucks but he went for it, I suspected that Magnus was behind this but I didn't really question it. After she finished, too quickly for my taste she begged and pleaded for me to dance with her and I caved, hard. I'm already awkward and clumsy so when I dance take that and multiply it by 100. I stepped on her toes five times before Clary let me bow out and I retreated to the bar which is when I got the text from Jocelyn.

Luke got pulled into work to wrap up a case but I am on my way. I talked to Magnus and he is ready to go when I get there. See you soon.

That was over a hour ago, I was getting worried and I could only hold Clary here for so long. And it didn't help when I had to spill my drink on her so she'd go to the bathroom just to hide her from the Circle Members that Magnus currently had in a magical choke hold. Magnus did manage to get them to leave but things went from bad to worse when I found Clary sneaking into the backroom where I had noticed Jace, Izzy and Alec go right after we entered probably following demons or more Circle members. I moved through the filled floor trying to get to Clary before she saw something she shouldn't, but I was too late.

I got there just in time to see Clary kill someone with a seraph blade who promptly burst into ashes. She dropped it in shock and looked at my friends with pure horror and tear filled eyes. She would have run out if she hadn't run into me first. I tried to comfort her but there was nothing I could do, the damage had been done.

Clary had stumbled onto the Shadow World and now there is no going back.
