This is the worst day of my life. I was being forced to move across the country because of my mother death. Yes I know how that sounds, like I could care less if she fell from a 20 story building into the fire pits of hell. But if you lived with her and her abusive boyfriend your whole life you learn to hate her quickly. Though I hoped that she would leave him and be my mom, but that never happened... not even when I told her what he did to me. That was the worst part, having someone know what's going on but not doing anything about it.

I was supposed to be moving in with my dad Luke in New York. The last time I saw him was when I was 5 before my mom took me and ran away with Valentine. When I found my mom and Valentine shot I called the police and they called Luke. I didn't want to leave this was where I grew up, where my friends are. But I was also happy to get away. To get away of the painful memories of what Valentine did to me, to get away from the memories of my horrible childhood. New York would be my escape. Hopefully it will be better then what I'm running away from. Not wanting to think about it anymore I put my head phones in and let the darkness of sleep carry me away from the cruel reality.

Its been years since it happened. But the events if that night that changed my life still haunt my dreams. Leaving me to wake up in a cold sweat from seeing my father standing above my mothers dead body holding the gun in his hand tightly. The thing that is forever imprinted in my head is the look that my father have me before I ran away, it was full of hatred and blood lust. All of that happened when I was 12 years old, I'm know 17, so 5 years and I still haven't had a full peaceful night of sleep. 5 years since my dad changed my life.

The soft tap at my door pulled me out of my thoughts, I knew it was Alec, he was my brother, well Luke Atamis adopted me and the Lightwood kids. We were close but never got along with anybody but our family. Alec was my best friend and my brother, he always heard me wake up, and would always make sure I was okay.

"You can come in Alec," I sighed. I know he was trying to help but sometimes I just wanted to be left alone

To my surprise it wasn't Alec who stepped through the door, it was Luke. Our foster dad. He was a nice guy him and his wife Atamis were really nice they took in kids that had no place to go and gave them a chance at life.

"Its not Alec." He said in a quite voice.

I rolled my eyes, " ya I see that know. So what bring you here?"

Luke rubs the back of his awkwardly and says, " well, um, my daughter is coming to live with us."

This shocked me for two reasons, 1 because I didn't know Luke had actual kids. And 2 because I was confused on why he came to my room in the middle of the night and told me. So I asked him," and why are you telling me this in the middle of the night?"

"I've been trying to tell you guys for a while, I didn't know if you guys would be okay with it or not. Izzy and Alec already know amd are fine with it, Izzy is excited bit probably because she'll have a life size barbie doll." At that I chuckled, it was true she always loved doing makeovers, she even tried it on Alec once when he was asleep. In revenge he threw away all of her make up. Here's a helpful hint: don't ever do that to Izzy.

Luke cleared his throat, "so are you fine with that, I could just buy her an apartment so she wouldn't be here if its not okay with you."

I laugh," no she should stay here, I'm perfectly fine with it." I was just hoping she wasn't one of those blonde bimbos who used me for sex. Luke exited my room and I was left with my thoughts and hopes of Luke's daughter.

I walked off the plane towing my suitcase behind me while making a note to self never to go on another plane again. Sighing I began walking to the doors out of the airport to go meet Luke and his foster kids. He only told me their names and didn't give me any idea what they look or act like. There was three of them Jace, Izzy, and Alec. I was pulled out of my thoughts by someone calling my name, looking up I saw 4 people waiting for me. Luke, Izzy, Jace, and Alec I'm guessing. The three teenagers stayed behind as Luke ran up to me arms spread wide. I gave a small smile when those arms circled around me. It felt nice to have someone that cared its been a very long time since I've had this feeling.

"Its nice to have you back Clare bear," Luke whispered in my ear.

Tears stung my eyes at my old nickname, but I pushed them back. "Its nice to be back." She lied.

We stood there like that until some one cleared their throats behind us, I released Luke and turned around. My green orbs meeting a pair of molten gold ones.
