Shadowhunter imagines and preferences

How you meet Simon

The New York institute had contacted you saying they think they found out who your parents were. Mark had to stay behind to look after the younger ones and you told him you'd be fine. You found out from Alec that they found some evidence that your mother was in the circle and had fallen in love with a faery guard and had conceived a child. You he told you that your mother ran away from the circle to have you. She then proceeded to leave you at the LA institute and go back to the circle. She had killed herself after she found out Valentine had killed her beloved. He didn't know who your dad was but your mother was buried somewhere in the forest near her family manor. It was your manor now and he'd also given you you're 'family' ring.

"Its ok." Alec tried to comfort you but wasn't very good. You wouldn't let it show that you were dying on the inside. You nodded and went to the least populated part of most institutes. The sanctuary.

You were sitting holding the ring, crying when you heard foot steps. You saw a vampire walk in even though it was day time. He froze when he saw you. You quickly wiped your tears and said. "I assume your Simon Lewis?"

"How-how did you know?" I just pointed out to the sun and he made an O shape with his mouth, "Oh I forgot."

"Lucky you" You mutter looking at the engraved ring.

"What's that?"

"Apparently its my 'family' ring." You said in slight disgust.

"What do you mean?" He sat down next to you.

"Im half fae, half shadowhunter, if you cant tell by my ears," You moved your hair so he could see the pointy tip. "and my mother abandoned me at the LA institute. According to Alec im a Nightwine and have the rights to my family manner in Idris. The thing is," I sighed thinking of the right words, "I was raised a Blackthorn, I took on their name because I didn't have one of my own. Now I cant be me. I have to be a stupid Nightshade who was in the circle and killed herself because of 'love'."

You looked at him in realisation, "and now im rambling to some mutant vampire! Great." you slumped down.

"Im not really a mutant."

"Well you technically are.. sooo"

"True," he looked at me before just staring forward. "You can still be a Blackthorn, you know. You can sell the house and pretended like it never happened. And love isn't always a bad thing. As long as you think, and it helps if you love someone who wont die soon." I chuckled slightly. Then frowned.

"What about the ring?"You looked down at the palm of your hand containing the ring.

"Follow me." Simon helped you up and you walked for about 10 minutes to a random lake in a park. "Chuck it."

"What?" I turned round to look at him, confused.

"If you want to get away from your blood family all you need to do is sell the house and fling the ring." You laughed at his little rhyme before flinging the ring as far as you could. You turned to him.

"You give great advise for a 17 year old."

"Well I have plenty of time." You just laughed and went for coffee at Java Jones. You went home that night and defenently came back for visits. Even though you started texting most day.
