Together

Chapter 4 Really?

Clary Morgenstern had endured a lot. From growing up with boys to fighting downworlders. Though all the pain and hard times she had stayed strong.  She stayed strong though the endless training and fighting. Though the time that her big brother had raged war against them and the death of her brother.  She had never stopped fighting even though the pain and guilt had eaten at her heart. And though all that time there had never been a time she had ever wanted to die as much as she did at this moment.

After the incident earlier Clary was in her mood.  She wanted to kill something or more specifically someone but she couldn't and that only made her mood worst. After the incident it had taken  both the Herondale men holding her down, The blue eye boy splashing her with water , and Izzy tying her hands together to get he to stop struggling enough for Jonathan to scoop her up and get her back inside. That did nothing to stop her threats. She had screamed all the way back into the infirmary and into the bathroom.

"Here you go." Jonathan said putting her down and facing her fiery glare. Her gaze made him want to step back but he couldn't. He wanted to be there for his sister. To prove to her that she didn't need their father. "Iz will bring you some clothes." she didn't waver. She continued to look at him up and down and if he was being honest it was beginning to make him feel weird. " Ok well I'll let you get to it."

"You look a lot like him." He heard her say before the door closed. All to the kitchen her words rang though his head.

"What's wrong with you?" Jace asked looking up from his cards.  All the boys except Luke and Jonathan were playing cards. Jocelyn, Maryse and Celine were all cooking and Iz and max were no where to be seen.

"Really you're asking me that now?" Jonathan told him sitting down next to Luke. Dropping his head onto his crossed arms.

"Oh don't be so dramatic." Izzy said coming into the room. "She's on her way."

"For the first time ever you should listen to Iz." Jace said earning a glare from Iz. " I mean you have your sister after 16 years and she is hot." The room went completely silent at that. "What?" Jace looked around the room at everyone.

"Did you really just say she is hot?" Alec asked in an angry daze.

"Oh come on I'm not allowed to say that Valentine's daughter  is hot." He said.

"Not in front my brothers or the loves of my life you aren't." Clary walked into the room  and took a seat at the table as far away from everyone as she could. Now that she was cleaned up she really did scream power. Her red, curly hair fell around her perfectly. The black tights and tank top left little to the imagination.  And the black lace up boots she layed on the table gave her the perfect touch of bad girl.

"Loves?" Celine asked confused.

"Yes as in more than one."  she stretched out and the light caught on her rings. One lay on a chain on her neck the other on her ring finger. Before anyone had a chance to question her Maryse and Celine began setting out the food and Max walked in. 

"Foods done." Jocelyn said laying out the food as everyone took their seats. Clary stood up and sat on the counter away from everyone. Max took up her sit and couldn't help but stare. Clary smiled at the child. Pleasant memories played in her head.

"Who's are you?" He asked her. She couldn't help the smile that played on her lips as she jumped down off the counter and stood in front of the youngest Lightwood child.

"Clarissa Morgenstern. Only daughter of Valentine and Molly Morgenstern. Sister to my brothers. Future Queen of the Shadow world." She smiled at them all at the end as they sat their shocked. Till...

"Your father remarried?" Maryse asked in complete and utter shock. Looking around she saw they all were thinking the same thing "who would want to marry him?"

"Of course he did. They've been together since my younger brother came to be with us." She said sitting back on the counter looking at her nails.

"How many Morgenstern's are there?" Robert asked.

"Well their is my father and mother. I have three older brothers and one younger plus me. So there are seven in the main family. But all who pledge loyalty and keep it are part of the mission which makes them family. "

"And what exactly is your mission?" Stephan asked angrily as Celine hugged his side.

"You all aren't the sharpest knifes are you. To fix the clave and ride the world of demons and their spawn." She gave Luke a cold stare at the end. In her mind he deserve to die and she would be the one to do it.

"What do you have against downworlders?" Izzy said standing up walking over to the now standing Clary. They were nose to nose as Isabelle go up into her face. The whole room smelled of anger.  "It's not like they've ever done anything to you since your've been so sheltered or is it because you are nothing more than your fathers little bit..." Iz fell down onto the floor cradling her red cheek. Clary looked down on her. Hands clenching her eyes were shut.

"You don't know anything about me. You don't know anything about my family. You want to know how I got so many brothers. It wasn't because my parents love each other it was because they are great people and wouldn't leave kids to die. My father saved one of my brothers' from a vampire who had killed both his parents. For years my brother couldn't sleep without waking screaming and crying. My mother risked her life to save my younger brother from werewolves. My own mother lost her first lover to vampires and when I was seven he came back to end us. I can still hear my mothers cries as he threw me into the wall. A werewolf destroyed my family before I was born and then they killed my brother in front of me." She opened her eyes and let them see her tears. As her tell ended no one in the room could speak. None of them knew what to say. 

"I may seem like a monster but I'm not the ones putting people though the pain of the unknown and lost. My mother's probably trying not to cry because she know it breaks my brother's and father's hearts to see her like that. My brothers are probably staying in the house so they don't cause trouble. And my dad is probably sitting in his office." Her face was a mask of anger as she looked at them.

"Why do you care? He beat you." Alec questions

" Because he's my dad. He's the first man who ever loved me. The first man to kiss and hug me.  The first love of my life. And I know how he gets without me. No one can calm him down like I can. He'll make rash decisions without me."

"What about the other love of your life?" Celine asked. Clary's grew quiet till...

"You don't want to know what my demon will do once he's let lose."
