"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage." ― Lao Tzu Shadowhunters (Season 1)

"I saw a girl with eyes like fire. I had to look away. She was swearing like a sailor. And demanding her own way. " [Alec Lightwood]

Arabelle Lightwood grew up on the center of the ShadowHunter world. She started training to be a ShadowHunter from a very young age, just like her brother and sister. Her life was pretty 'normal', going out killing demons then going back to the institute. Until one strawberry blonde changed their worlds. Arabelle wasn't happy about it, she wasn't happy when Jace's attention went to Clary Fairchild. And she didn't like that all of her efforts were thrown to the trash can, she didn't like saving Clary Fairchild. This is not a damsel in distress story; if anything, Arabelle was the knight in the shinning armor. Copyright 2017 | bloodthrills
