A/N: I felt like adding a prologue. It will help to set the story, I think. Not sure how yet, but it will. R&R please.

Prologue

They were on their way back home. Clary and Sebastian (Clary 8 years old and Sebastian 10 years old) were in the back seat, their mom, Jocelyn, driving.

"Quit it, Sebastian!" Clary complained as Sebastian pulled one of her pig tails. Despite their constant bickering, they loved each other. It was just hard to get them to show it. Sebastian pulled the pig tail again and this time, Clary punched him. His cry resounded throughout the entire car.

"Guys, knock it off. I'm trying to drive," their mom snapped from the front seat.

"Sorry, Mom," Sebastian apologized immediately. "Yeah, brat, knock it off," he then whispered in an undertone .

"You knock it off, big head," Clary retorted quietly.

"Poop face."

"Jerk."

"Idiot."

"Nincompoop."

"Asshat." Their voices had steadily risen to a shout when their mom shouted,

"Sebastian Fray, you watch your language or I'll wash your mouth out with soap." Clary and Sebastian had distracted their mother so much that she didn't notice the light turn red and she kept going.

"Sorry, mo-" There was a flash of white light and then the world went dark.
