Hi guys thank you for reading I hope you enjoy!

Clary POV

I couldn't hold my breath much longer and I could feel my limbs stiffen. I tried to control my racing heart and banged on the barrier above me. I was losing my strength and my vision was becoming blurry. My ears were blasting from the shouting of my brother. 

"Clary, Clary concentrate you can do this"

I had to act fast. I grabbed my steele and drew a rune. Suddenly the barrier gave way and I punched through it, got out and greedily absorbed the oxygen. 

"Clary Clary" I could hear my brother shout 

I looked around and saw the familiar training simulation my father had made for the both of us. I looked around to see plain white walls apart from the weapons wall which was filled with all different kinds of precious weapons. I looked above me to see a parkour course and climbing beams. The training room was only a small part of the mansion we lived in. It used to be an institute filled with life, people, shadow hunters like me. 

"Clary can you hear me?"My brother ran to me I could see the panic in his eyes.

"Im fine Im fine" I said catching my breath and rolling my eyes. My body was wet and the water was like it always was... freezing. My finger tips were blue and my skin had turned a sickly pale colour making the cuts and scars on my body stand out. 

I could feel Jonathan's hands on my cheeks. The sudden warmth on my frozen skin made me flinch. 

"Clary" He waited for me to repsond but I didn't say anything only looked at the ground. 

"Look at me"He said and lightly nudged my chin up so I was now looking him in the eye. 

All this time he had protected me from our father, from our mother. All this time those eyes were the only form of love and comfort I had ever known. I grabbed his hand and held it tightly.

"Im fine"I reassure him.

He sighed and began to walk towards the weapons wall and grabbed a long sword. 

"Father had gone to far, that was to dangerous. You could have died. You almost died"He said holding the sword with an angry grip with his knuckles turning white. 

I followed him to the wall and picked up my throwing knives and threw it to the target hitting it right in the middle. 

"Wouldn't be the first time"I said in a low voice and threw another and another. 

A Few Moments Later

After training Jonathan and I went to make breakfast. As usual training began at 3AM so we were right on schedule. I looked out the window and saw the vast forest in front of me. We were in a hidden part of Idris where no one would find us our father said. I was born here and raised here. My father was rarely around but I didn't mind. The relationship between me and my father was complicated. I could tell that he loved me but he hated Jonathan, I hated the favouritism. I have never left the institute or the forest and I have never met anyone other than my father, mother and brother. My mother had left us a while ago though, no one knows where she is. 

"Clary Ill see you soon"Jonathan said 

Jonathan however was allowed to leave. He only left to do missions for my father but sometimes he went out on his own accord. I was unbelievably jealous.

"Clary?"He said sensing my sad emotions. I turned around to see him at the door. His hair was messy and he was wearing his shadow hunter gear. He began to walk towards me. 

"Clary I'll be back soon I just have some things to take care of"He said as he stroked my hair lovingly.

"Can I come? Please I swear I won't tell father. He's gone he will never kno-"Before I could finish my sentence Jonathan began to speak in a frustrated tone.

"God Damn it! How much times are you going to do this"He said slamming his hand down on the kitchen bench. 

It was at these moments when Jonathan began to resemble our father. Unlike my fiery red hair ,petite frame and green eyes that matched my mothers completely. Jonathan had white almost silvery hair and black eyes that only darkened with rage. He had our fathers strong muscular build and his intimidating attitude. Jonathan was my protector and I was rarely at the other end of his intimidating stare but in the few moments when his rage and anger shone brightly through his eyes. Our fathers sadistic, manipulative character seemed to only reflect in Jonathan. This was a side of the both of them I feared to see.

I could feel my body tense up.

"I just want to see what it is like out there. Jonathan please I just want to see"I said laying a hand on his chest instantly calming him down. 

"All my life I have only been in this institute. I spend everyday roaming the huge antique palace. I have found tiny nooks and crannies that only I can fit in. Ive found secret trap doors and many other things. I have wandered the forest and have memorised almost every tree and stick. There is nothing left here for me to find, see or do. I have never seen another woman or man other than father and yourself and for a brief time mother too." I said trying to reason with him.

"Don't you dare call that woman our mother"He said is anger beginning to rise again. Always at the mentioning of our mother.

"I am seventeen John"I say with a sigh of defeat "I have never not once had a friend. I have never seen anything or spoken to anyone. Please you are only two years older than me but you are allowed to go out when ever you please"I say arguing 

"You have me, You see me" He said grabbing the hand that I placed on his chest and gripping it tightly. "And that is all you need" He said finally before placing a kiss on my lips and leaving.

Ok Ok Ok OK BEFORE YOU JUDGE ABOUT THE INCEST 

Let me clarify.

Clary has grown up thinking that being involved in a romantic relationship with her sibling is normal. Valentine encourages it in order for them to have kids and keep the Morgenstern line 'pure'. Clary has never been out in the world and does not know any better. But that is all about to change.
