( She can relate to that, actually. Kimberly's right, they've been dealt a shit hand. There's no way Clary can turn her back on being a Shadowhunter now, and even if they find some way to stop Valentine, he will always feel like he's there, waiting. He's already taken her mother and her brother from her, she doesn't want to know what other lengths he'll go to.
Laying her pencil down in the spine of her book, Clary runs her hands through the grass beside her, thinking. )
It's nice. Being able to choose which direction to go in. Not constantly feeling like you're swimming against the current? This is what normal life is supposed to feel like. ( A beat. ) I mean, without the weird magic. But even that's kind of more fairytale than dangerous. I think that you should do what makes you happy, you know? If that means settling here then you should let yourself have that.
