Just thought I'd let you guys know that the books never happened. Before this chapter, Clary had been living in the NY Institute and knew what she was. She had a happy life with her boyfriend, best friends, and parabatai. Yes, parabatai. You'll see what I mean soon, but anyway... Clary was kidnapped by Jonathan and Valentine, but something went wrong and they left her in an alleyway without her memories.

Clary awoke with a dull throbbing in her head. What happened? she thought. Right now she was laying in an alleyway. The last thing Clary could remember was that a man with white blonde hair and black, bottomless pits for eyes stabbed her with a weird looking sword. Tears sprung in Clary's eyes as she remembered her mother's lifeless face staring at her. Instead of lying in an alleyway, Clary got up and stumbled toward the only place she knew was safe.

o.O.o

Clary hesitantly knocked on the door; tears freely running down her face. She heard someone unlocking the door multiple times from inside. When the door finally opened, a sparkly man stood in front of her. He was on the darker side with black hair that had blue glittery spikes and green, yellow cat-like eyes. The man looked startled and shocked. He also looked like he wasn't going to say anything to Clary so she spoke up.

"I-I don't know who you are," she started with a hoarse, raspy voice. "But I feel that I can trust you and this is the only place I could remember. M-my-" A sob escaped her lips. "My mom is dead. S-so-" Clary didn't get to finish her sentence because the strange man pulled her into a warm embrace. It felt oddly familiar to her.

"Shhh. Everything will be fine, Clary," the man stroked her hair soothingly. He obviously knew her. He said her name. "Why don't you come inside?" The man wrapped an arm around her shoulders and led her inside the apartment. "My name is Magnus Bane."

Before Clary could sit on one of the chairs that surrounded the table, the man- Magnus took her arm. "Why don't you go take a shower? I'll make some hot cocoa."

Clary nodded and headed down the hall. Somehow she knew what room the bathroom was. It was as if she spent a lot of her time here. She locked the bathroom door and stripped her clothes. After spending a half hour crying and showering, Clary climbed out of the shower. She didn't bother looking in the mirror. She knew she looked like crap. Clary wrapped a towel around her, grabbed her dirty clothes, and headed into one of the many bedrooms that lined the walls. Again, somehow she knew where everything was. She walked right into the closet and grabbed a pair of black sweats and a t-shirt that said "Gamer Girl" in big letters. After throwing the dirty clothes in the hamper, Clary pulled on the outfit and headed back out to Magnus. Clary suddenly felt very chilly so she spotted a blanket on the couch and wrapped it around herself. Magnus was sitting at the table with two cups in front of him.

Clary sat across from him. Magnus slid a cup across to her and ,who she guessed to be Magnus's cat, jumped up on her lap and made himself comfortable. Magus smiled. "Chairman Meow likes you."

She giggled. "Chairman Meow? Isn't that a funny name for a cat?"

"Not if you're him. So, baby doll, do you want to talk about what you remember It's okay if you don't." She was starting to like Magnus already.

She shook her head. "That's just it, Magnus. I don't remember anything." Magnus raised a perfectly waxed eyebrow. "The last and only thing I remember is my mother being stabbed in the back with a weird looking sword."

Magnus's eyes widened. "Did you see who did it?"

Clary nodded. "He had a blonde white hair and black eyes. Like bottomless pit black. The whole eye." Magnus cursed. "Do you know him? Who is he? I want to kill him for what he did to my mother."

"All in good time. When you're ready and feeling better, I'm going to bring you somewhere. Then you'll find out everything, okay?"

She nodded. "Alright." Clary yawned.

"Why don't you watch some TV while I fix you up some dinner? You must be starving your skinny little ass off."

Clary chuckled. "I am hungry." She slowly got up, carrying Chairman Meow, and headed over to one of the couches. The TV was already on so she just had to change the channel.

Luckily, they were playing reruns of CSI and NCIS so Clary put that on. In the background, she heard Magnus chuckled and say something to himself. Ignoring it, Clary continued to watch.

o.O.o

Alec yawned. Another unsuccessful day of Clary-hunting. Jace is too depressed and angry at himself to do anything useful even though he's trying. Clary has been missing for two weeks. After a big battle with Jonathan and Valentine, she'd been kidnapped as well as Jocelyn. Luke has driven himself mad like Jace. Neither of them have been of any help. Isabelle acts as if she's a drone. Not that Alec blames her. Her parabatai is missing.

Alec took the key out of his pocket and stuck it into the door leading into his boyfriend's apartment. When he walked in, he secretly wished he'd stayed at the Institute. Sitting on his and Magnus's couch was Clary, petting a sleeping Chairman Meow. Anger spiked through Alec. "What the hell!" he exclaimed.

"Alec," Magnus warned.

"For weeks we've been looking nonstop for you and you've been fine all along!"

"Alec," Magnus warned again, voice firmer.

"How do you think-"

"Alexander!" Magnus yelled. Alec watched as Clary, obviously frightened at Alec's outburst, ran to stand behind Magnus. Magnus waited until it looked as if Alec was calmed down enough to be civil. "Alec, I can explain." Annoyed, Alec gestured for him to continue. "She can't remember."

Alec's face fell and his heart just about stopped. That's why Izzy said she felt so weird and empty. "I-I-I'm so sorry," Alec apologized. Jace is going to kill him for yelling at her like that. As will Izzy.

Clary stepped out from behind Magnus reluctantly. She nodded. "I-It's okay. Who're you?"

When Clary turned to go sit back down on the couch, Alec saw the parabatai rune on the back of her neck. At least that was still there. "This is my boyfriend, Alec Lightwood," Magnus said before Alec could open his mouth.

"Lightwood," Clary said as if she were trying to say a new word. Her head whipped towards the two boys in the kitchen. "I know that name from somewhere. I-I just don't know where." A frown was plastered on her face as she tried to think.

"Don't think too hard," Magnus chided playfully as he went back to cooking whatever it was he was cooking. "I could see steam coming out of your ears." Alec had to stifle his laughter because Clary looked Magnus's way and stuck her tongue out. "I saw that," he sang-song.

Clary narrowed her eyebrows and went back to watching TV. Alec went into the kitchen to join his boyfriend. "What do we do?" he whispered, not wanting Clary to hear.

"Call Isabelle and Simon. Oh and Luke. I'm afraid I've got some rather bad news."

"What about Jace?"

"Not yet. He'll be even more devastated when he finds out she can't remember him."

Alec nodded in agreement. That was true. Magnus and him had agreed to have the meeting in the morning so Alec went to go call them.

o.O.o

The rest of the night had gone by quickly. Magnus and Alec seemed very happy to be around Clary. Although Clary didn't know why, she felt like she was finally home. When Magnus had sent her off to bed so him and Alec could "cuddle", Clary found herself sitting in the spare bedroom crying, wishing she had someone to comfort her. She could remember his warm embrace. The way he held her tight as if she would disappear when he let go. The smell of sunshine and those golden eyes. Why was it that she couldn't picture his face? She knows his eye color and the familiarity of his scent. Why not the face? Not long after that, Clary fell asleep. She was awoken hours later by an overly happy couple. A boy with brown hair and dark eyes stared down at her with a huge smile. Next to him stood a girl with really long black hair (definitely not fake) and bright blue eyes. She looked similar to Alec. They must be siblings, Clary thought. Both persons had huge scary smiles. Next thing she knew, Magnus was running in with Alec trailing in behind. What Clary didn't know was that she was screaming. The smiles were wiped off the couple's faces and replaced by confused expressions.

"Magnus!" The girl screeched.

Another person came running in then. He had dark hair and dark eyes. Luke. His mother's boyfriend. "Luke!" Clary yelled and jumped into his arms.

Luke caught the red headed girl and hugged her tight.

"Alright, that's just rude," Alec announced.

"I get it!" Magnus exclaimed earning weird looks from everyone. "Jocelyn and Luke were the last two people Clary saw before all this happened."

"The ba-" the girl started, but was cut off by Magnus.

"No. All of this."

"Oh!" The girl face palmed. When she picked her head back up, she had tears running down her face. Clary felt a pang of guilt in her chest.

Clary squirmed out of Luke's grasp and ran to the girl. She wrapped her arms around her and the girl did the same. "I may not remember you consciously, but somehow I do know you subconsciously. All of you. Except you, Luke."

Luke chuckled and ruffled Clary's hair. The girl sniffled and gave Clary another squeeze before stepping back to her obvious boyfriend. When Clary glanced at Luke again, she noticed that his eyes were red and puffy. She took a step towards him, not knowing what was wrong. Then these memories hit her full blast. Except she was watching this while voices floated through her head.

Her mother was kneeling in front of her. "I love you, baby."

"No, mom! You're not dying. We will get out of this alive. The both of us."

Jocelyn shook her head. "No, baby. You'll get out alive, but you won't remember anything for a while. I promise you'll remember soon. Tell Magnus unblock animo. Your memories will come back slowly, but they will come back. I love you."

Clary screamed as she watched Valentine and Jonathan walk behind her mother. Jonathan grabbed a seraph blade and said its name. Valentine actually had to look away as his son plunged the sword into his ex-wife's back. Then he walked over to Clary and smacked her across the face causing her to fall into darkness.

o.O.o

"We'll be parabatai. Closer than siblings." Closer than siblings.

o.O.o

"I love you, Clary."

o.O.o

"Don't you dare close your eyes on me. Don't you dare die. You can't leave me!"

o.O.o

"We'll be back for you, Clarissa. When your memory returns."

Clary opened her eyes with a gasp and looked at Magnus. "Unblock animo," Clary repeated and with that, she passed out.

Next chapter we meet Jace! Yay! Anyway, who should little miss Clarissa remember first? Will she remember Jace or will she just pass it off as a weird coincidence? Hmm. I wonder. But anyway tell me who you guys think Clary should remember first.
