Okay, well, I guess I should start with the fact that I never knew my dad. My mom told me he was some guy named Jonathan Clark and that he died before I was born. She had this picture of him, framed and everything, and even this box with the initials J.C. on it that she would take out every year, look through, and cry over.
[ It's a weird lead-in to the story, but it's important. ]
On my 18th birthday, before I found out I was a Shadowhunter and there were people after me and my mom, I ran into this guy named Jace at the club Simon, Maureen, and I were hanging out outside of after their gig nearby. He was covered in all these really weird tattoos, and I was the only one of us who could see him. I chased him down to try and get some answers only to end up in the middle of a fight with him, Alec, Izzy, and some demons.
Completely freaked out, I went home, questioned my mom, and was portaled away by Dot to the precinct where Luke (a family friend that was basically my dad) was working before I could even get answers. But I thought he was part of the group that were after us, so I left and went back to the apartment, only to find a demon disguised as Dot there. She/it attacked me but Jace had tracked it or something, I guess, because he jumped in and basically saved my life. He took me back to the Institute, where I started training and living because my apartment was completely destroyed. (Not from the fight, from my mom.) Because Shadowhunters come from old bloodlines, pretty much everyone knew of me because of my mom, though they all knew me as a Fairchild, not a Fray. They told me about this guy, Valentine, who created a rebellious Shadowhunter faction when my mom was around my age and was determined to basically annihilate all of the Downworlders.
They also helped me try to unblock the memories my mom had someone erase, because of the being hunted thing, but all I really got was information on my dad. Turns out, my dad is Valentine, who is very much alive and is the one that's been after me and my mom all this time. We've been trying to find him ever since, not only because he's incredibly dangerous but also because he has my mom.
Jace was at my side the whole time, sticking up for me and helping me even though it went against the Institue and even his best friend's wishes. He and I grew really close as we searched for Valentine and my mom.
