Summary: Clary's life in New York gets complicated, so she decides she needs a little time away from the big city. She finds herself in Mystic falls, where she runs into trouble with a certain blond original, Klaus. Who will be there to protect her? And why is Klaus so interested in Clary? Obviously a crossover…

Author's Note: If you read my Hunger Games/ Mortal Instruments story, I'm not stopping that, I just have had a lot going on lately. I know I'm starting a new story, but I like this one and I don't want it to leave my head.

Disclaimer: I own nothing but the storyline.

Chapter 1: Growing Up

Clary POV:

"I will find you again, angel child, don't forget that. And next time he won't be there to save you." The man looked at me with a sickening grin on his face. I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I looked back. There stood my savior, a black haired blue eyed angel.

"Don't worry, I'll always be there for you. Your safe with me."

I shot up in my bed, panting. 'who was that?' I thought to myself. I remembered going to bed after having a huge fight with Jace. He was angry because I went hunting by myself.

*Flashback*

"You are such and idiot. You aren't ready for hunting yet!"

" I would be if you agreed to train me! Why can't you just except that I'm not the same little mundane you met the day we met!"

"I can't accept it Clary, because you haven't changed a bit! You're still the same stubborn girl!"

"How do you expect me to grow up if you aren't giving me any chances to!"

"You're not ready Clary! You won't be able to deal with the constant training you have to do! So if you want to be trained, go find someone who actually wants to deal with your stubborn attitude in the training room, or grow up!"

*End Flashback*

This is my way of growing up. I put on my black skinny jeans and a red shirt. I slipped on my favorite, yet simple black hoodie, and but on my red converse. I pulled out my backpack, packing it with the necessities, a seraph blade, and my stele. I thought of the life I was leaving behind. I thought of Simon, my best friend, who I will never forget. I thought of my mom and Luke, who I love and hold so dearly to my heart. I thought of the Lightwoods, Izzy's moody attitude, Alec's quiet demeanor. I thought of Magnus in all of his sparkly glory. I thought of Jace, the man I love. I know I will always love him. Of course I left him a note.

It read: Dear Jace, This is my way of showing you that I am growing up. I'm going to find my way in another town. I will train on my own. Don't bother looking for me, because I don't want to be found. And if you love me as much as I love you, you should respect that. Love, Clary.

I already know where I'm going. It's a quiet town called Mystic Falls, and it's in Virginia. I pulled out my stele from my backpack and started a portal. When it was ready, I set Jace's note on my bed. I was about to step through the portal when my door opened.

Jace looked at me with a face depicting sadness, anger, and shock. : Clary, no don't do this." He reached to grab my wrist, but for the first time in my life, I reacted quicker than Jace. I grabbed the witchlight on my windowsill and stepped into the portal, throwing the stone at the portal so Jace couldn't follow me. Goodbye New York City, hello Mystic Falls.
