"Valentine is your father?!" Yelled Jace.
" Yes he abused he everyday even on my birthday well worst on my birthday he burned my face." Jackalen said scariedly." Well were here." They walked inside.
" So were is your mom's stuff?"
" She left me with Valentine when I was one." " Give me about 5 minutes I don't have a lot of stuff."
5 minutes later.
"Ok lets go Jace I need to get something from the garage." Jackalen said coming out with one large suit case and a bag.
" OK. Um do you know how to cook?"
" Yeah why?"
" Cause Isabelle and Clary can't." Jace said laughing.
" Well do you want me to cook tonight?"
" YES PLEASE!"
" Is there food really that bad?"
" Trust me on this it is so bad that there is no words for it." "So you have a car?
" No."
" Then what do you have?" Garage open.
" A motorcycle!" Jackalen put her stuff on her bike. " Lets go."
" Can I drive." Jackalen was putting on her helmet that matched her bike.
" No."
" Why not?"
" Because it is mine."
" Fine but how can we drive it if it is demon energetic?"
" Because it now runs on human and demon energetics now."
" How?"
" Because I did my homework" she said laughing." Well lets go."
" Fine but when we get back I am going to show you mine because it flys."
" Aren't you going to hold on?"
" No I don't have to."
" Ok." Jackalen starts driving faster.
" SLOW DOWN!"
" No I don't have to!"
" You win!" Jace held on to Jackalen's waist.
At the Institute.
" Hey guys were back." Jace said.
" Well me and Clary are going to cook."Isabelle said.
" NO Jackalen was going to cook she told me when we were at her house." Jace said.
" Ok I guess so." Isabelle said. They all walked into the kitchen.
" Hey guys." Alec said. " So what you finded out?"
" Well Jackalen's parents...." Jackalen elbowed Jace. " Ow!"
" What about her parents?"
" Never mind." Jace said. Alec walked over to Jackalen and picked her head up.
" So what about your parents?" Alec said talking to Jackalen.
" Non of your business." Jackalen said.
" Tell me or I well slap you." Alec said.
" Alec stop!" Yelled Jace.
" Stay out of this Jace!" Yelled Alec. "So what about your parents?"
" I said non of your business!" Yelled Jackalen. Alec swang his hand at Jackalen to slap her. But Jackalen ducked and kicked Alec in his gut. He fell down.
" OW!" Yelled Alec.
" I told you it was non of your business!" Yelled Jackalen then she went to her room.
" I have never seen anyone do that." Clary said in shock.
" Alec are you ok?" Jace said.
" WHY DIDN'T YOU HELP ME?!!" Alec yelled
" You told me to stay out of it." Jace said sarcastically.
" Well you did desiver it." Isabelle said and walked away to check on Jackalen.
" I swear I hate Alec he is sooooo .... ugh. Jackalen said. Someone was knocking on her door. She went to open the door it was Isabelle.
" Hey sorry about what Alec did." Isabelle said.
" It's not your fault Izzy."
" Well I will see you at dinner. Are you still going to cook dinner?"
" Yeah I am going to just let me fix my hair."
" Ok see you in a bit." Isabelle said closing the door. Jackalen sat down and got her brush and started brushing her hair. Someone else was knocking on the door. She got up and opened the door. It was Jace.
" Hey Jace." Jackalen said. Jace was closing the door behind him.
" Are you ok?"
" Yeah I have been in way worst."
" I I should have helped you I'm so sorry."
" Hey. It is fine you shouldn't blame yourself." Jackalen said picking up Jace's head.
" Are you still going to cook?"
" Yeah just let me put my hair up."
" You shouldn't put your hair up I like it down."
" You do?!"
" Yeah." Jace said. "Well see you at dinner"
" Jace is something else I swear" Jackalen whispered to herself.
Jackalen was in the kitchen cooking stakes, corn, and beans. For desert she was cooking a chocolate fudge cake. "DINNER IS READY!" Jackalen yelled. She hearded foot steps coming from behind her. She turned around and saw Jace at the table already.
" Where is the food I'm starving." Jace said.
" Well come help me set the table." Jackalen said laughing.
" Fineee." Jace said as if his mom was making him do chorus. Jackalen started laughing. Jace went over to her and picked her up and spun around. " I love your laugh." Jace said putting Jackalen down.
" You do? Well lets get the table done before everyone else comes." Jackalen said giggling.
Once the table was done everyone was there even Alec. Jackalen was at the head of the table with Jace on one side and Isabelle on the other. Clary was next to Isabelle and Alec was next to Jace.
" Well do you like the food?" Jackalen asked.
" Yeah it is great well better than what I have had." Jace said looking at Isabelle.
" I like it. What are you trying to say Jace?" Clary and Isabelle said.
" I am saying your food is terrible." Jace said laughing.
" Very offense Jace. What about you Alec do you like it?" Isabelle said.
" I've had better." Alec said rudely.
" Alec stop acting that way your just mad that Jackalen is a better Shadow Hunter than you!" Isabelle yelled.
" SHUT UP ISABELLE!" Yelled Alec as he walked the kitchen.
" Ha" Jackalen laughed everyone looked at her. " Sorry I couldn't help it." Jackalen said throwing her hands up. Everyone else started laughing. "So are you ready for cake."
" Cake?" They all said.
" Yeah." Jackalen said while she brought the cake out.
" Wow you can cook." They all said while they ate. Jace came close to Jackalen's ear.
" You need to tell them about Valentine." Jace said.
" Fine" Jackalen whine.
" Fine what?" Isabelle and Clary ask.
" I live alone." Jackalen said.
" Where are your parents?" Clary and Isabelle ask.
" My mother left me with my father when I was one. My father abused me saying it was my fault that she left so he pulled my hair until I was on the floor. Then he kicked me or punched me on my birthday I got nothing besides my face getting burned. He told one of the servents to get rid of me the day before my ninth birthday. On my 16 birthday last year I got a letter it said see you in a year love daddy. Which a year will be next wensday." Jackalen said crying.
" Who is your father?" Clary asked while Isabelle hugs Jackalen.
" My my father is not a real father to me his name is Valentine." Jackalen said.
" NO NO no no!" Yelled Clary. " That isn't true he is my father!"
" Clary you know Valentine had many wives so she is your half sister it is ok." Jace said.
" No it isn't!" Clary said walking out of the kitchen.
" Great first day here." Jackalen said sarcastically. " Sorry I haven't cried since I was 9."
" Everyone crys sometimes even Jace has to." Isabelle said as Alec walked in the kitchen.
" We need to get rid of her." Alec said pointing at Jackalen. " I heard everything.
" YOU IDIOT!!!" Jackalen shout at Alec while she ran out of the kitchen to her room.
" Well see you guys later I'm going to sleep" Alec said.
" I swear Alec what is your problem!" Jace hissed.
" Oh I'm just need sleepy." Alec said sleepy but sarcastily and walked away.
" I hate this place." Jackalen said throwing something across the room. She heard a knock on the door. She went to open the door to Alec. " What do you want?!" Jackalen hissed as Alec closed the door.
" I told you if you didn't tell me I was going to slap you." Alec said.
" Well you found out." Jackalen said rudely.
" But you didn't tell me when I wanted you to and you kicked to the floor so now you are going to get beat." He said as he punched Jackalen in the lip.
" FINE LETS GO!" Yelled Jackalen. Alec swung at her again and hit her in her eye. He grabbed her hair and pulled her down. She put her arms in front of her face while Alec sat on her legs. " JACE HELP ME!" Jackalen yelled in pain. Alec Had punched her about 6 more times after Jackalen called for help. Isabelle Clary and Jace came in at the same time. Jace went over to Alec and pulled him off of Jackalen. Isabelle went over to her to help her up.
" O my gosh your face!" Isabelle said looking at Jackalen's bloody swollen up face.
