Love is to Destroy (TMI Fanfic)

Prologue

*August 25th, 1991*

Jocelyn looked down at the small bundle of blankets in her arms. She was careful to set her daughter down in the crib. Clary's tiny red curls poked out of the edges of the blankets.

Jocelyn couldn't believe Clary had only existed for two days. She also couldn't believe that Clary was the result of one of Valentine's experiments. Clary was just a small child and didn't deserve any of this. She could of had a normal life, with normal parents. Well, as normal as it gets for shadowhunters.

Something had to be off with her blood. She wasn't part demon like her brother Jonathan at least. Jocelyn could tell that. Yet this small bundle resting peacefully in the crib wasn't entirely just her and Valentine's kid. Something about her was the result of some sick experiment.

Jocelyn felt bad about leaving the kids with her husband. Even if Jonathan was evil, maybe he could change. Clary was still innocent and pure, yet Valentine would ruin that quickly. Valentine could of already ruined Clary, Jocelyn thought to herself. You have no idea what he injected you with when she was in the womb.

She looked down at Clary. Her old friend Lucian was coming to help Jocelyn escape from Valentine. She wanted to take Clary with her and maybe even Jonathan, even if he was a demon, but it wouldn't be safe enough. Her and Lucian could come back for them later. Well, it might only be Clary, Jocelyn thought to herself. It would depend if Jonathan would grow up to be the demon she expected him to be. And, Valentine acting so strange lately could only add to the fact.

Suddenly there was a scratching sound by her window. Jocelyn quickly turned around to open the window. Outside of it was Lucian.

"Lucian," Jocelyn said. "How did you get here? Valentine must know you are here by now."

"Jocelyn let's not worry about that now. I have my pack distracting Valentine. We should be able to leave. Are you ready?" Lucian said outstretching his hand to her.

Jocelyn looked at Lucian's hand and back to Clary. Jocelyn bent down and quickly kissed Clary's forehead.

"Clary I love you. Don't ever forget that. I promise I'll come back for you sweetheart," Jocelyn said to her daughter. "Let's go Lucian."

Lucian grabbed Jocelyn's hand and helped her climb out the second story window. When they reached the bottom, they ran to the woods. Behind them they heard the howls of the wolfs who were helping them escape. Jocelyn hoped none of them would be killed in helping her.

Jocelyn knew she would come back for Clary later. She had too. She couldn't leave her with a monster of a brother and psychopath of a father. But for now she had to escape the man who was a shell of her husband.

This is my very first attempt at writing fanfic so it might suck. I had recently started re-reading the series so I thought this would be cool to try. I am aware that everything that happened there was against Jocelyn's character but that's the plot. If you like it so far keep reading, vote and comment your thoughts. I'll be sure to update soon.
