Betrayed

Chapter 4

Clary's p.o.v.

I woke in an unfamiliar room, my head pounding. Everything suddenly came back to me.

When I tried to sit up a hand pushed me back down. "Hold on, you need to rest." The mystery guy said. I looked up to see the most beautiful blue eyes I had ever seen.

"Where am I?" I asked. "You are in the Los Angeles institute." My rescuer had short straight, brown hair and amazing sparkling blue eyes. He was about 6 foot or so and you could see biceps sticking through his black t-shirt and flannel.

"You're Clary Fray aren't you?" He asked. I grinned. "In the flesh, and you are?" I sat up. "Oh! Where are my manners?" He said. "I'm Hunter. Hunter Collins."

"So why are you-" Hunter was cut off by a blonde haired bullet charging into the room at maximum speed. The little girl ended up in Hunters arms after he caught her. "Annamarie Collins!" He exclaimed.

By that time I was giggling. So was Annamarie. She noticed and looked at me from Hunters arms and looked back at him. She whispered very loudly. "Who's she?" She asked. Hunter looked at me and then back at Annamarie. He kneeled so he was level with her. "That's Clary Fray." He said to her. "Really?" Her eyes looked about as wide as saucers. "Yep." He said. "She's pretty!" She whisper screamed. Hunter looked up at me and said "I know."

I felt a blush color my cheeks. Annamarie got down from her brothers arms and walked up to me and stuck her hand out. I took it and shook it firmly with an amused smile on my face. "Hi, I'm Annamarie Collins. But you can call me Annie. I'm four years old and I'm Hunter's sissy. I'm gonna be you when I grow up!" She said.

At first I was taken aback. No one had ever told me that before. I was always the one who looked up to everyone else. After a moment I smiled. "Thank you! That's very sweet of you." I replied. She ran and jumped into my lap and gave me a big hug. "I like you already." I said.

--LINE BREAK--

After a while Hunter gave me a tour of the institute and introduced me to the rest of his family. Let me tell you, there was a lot more than just Annie. Hunter was the oldest, he was 17 like me (A/N i don't really know what age she is so we're gonna pretend that she's seventeen for now). Then there were the twins, Kayla and Brianna, who were 15. Next there was Preston, he was 10 and finally Annie.

Hunters parents names were Sophia Collins and John Collins and they were both really sweet and kind. "How are you doing, dear? You took a Ravenor to the shoulder." She asked. "I'm okay, a little tired that's all. Thank you so much for caring for me Mrs. Collins." I said back to her. "We are just glad your okay, Hunter and the twins were very worried when they saw you on the beach. It was mostly Hunter though." He chuckled. "Can I speak to you both privately?" I asked, apprehensive. "Of course. Hunter will you and the kids check on dinner? And set the table please." Sophia said. "Sure, Mom." he said before walking off with the rest of his siblings.

Sophia and John led me to the library. "What's going on kid?" John asked.We all sat and I started to explain what happened in New York. Sophia and John were very understanding. They agreed to let me stay here for as long as I liked. "Thank you so much." I said to them. Sophia got up and gave me a hug. She pulled and said "Okay come one we better get to the kitchen before the kids burn the institute down!" We all laughed. "I'm happy here" I thought. I smiled as we walked to the kitchen and the fire alarm went off. Oh no!
