Jem leaves for Shang-hi today. He has to go to the Institute there because they have found new evidence regarding the demon that killed his parents. I will miss him terribly and I wish I could go with him.

I am wandering around the Institute looking for him and I hear the distant sounds of the beautiful classical music coming from Jem's violin. I wander down the corridor towards his room. I am almost there but I stop dead in my tracks when I see none other than Jessamine emerging from his room. I stop dead in my tracks, what on earth as Jessamine doing in Jem's room. She has only just been released from the Silent City, if i was her her, I would be trying my best to stay out of trouble, but it is Jessamine we are talking about.

I proceed cautiously to Jem's room, and hesitantly know on the door. As Jem opens the door I try to hide the surprise on my face, but i don't guess i pulled it off, as Jem's face widens in surprise.

"What's wrong, my love" he asks in a worried tone.

"Nothing, nothing" I reassure him, "Um, what was Jessamine doing here?"

"Oh she was just asking me if she could accompany on my trip, she has been through a rough time and she said she needed an escape, if I will help her I did not want to deny her an opportunity to get better."

"Ok, well can I come too." Ok, Jessamine is coming, I can deal with that.

"Oh...," I could tell something was wrong, He looked all nervous and he was wringing his hands. He takes my hand and looks me in the face,"Really it is just going to be a short trip, and I think it would be better if you stayed here and helped Charlotte. I will be back soon, and I promise I will be missing you the whole, time I love you so much you don't even know"

"Oh, all right. Just be careful" I answer back. I really will miss him, he makes me happy and I will miss that sense of peace and contentedness he always seems to have. He just has that general goodness about him that makes someone want to smile.

After I leave Jem's room I wander around and find myself in the library. I look around and sigh, O how I love the library. The smell of the new books, and the soft yellow pages of books that are probably thousands of years old. The great library of the London Institute just has so many books, although most of them are in languages that I haven't the slightest idea how to read, but they hold all the shadowhunter secrets, and can tell me anything I want to about this new world I entered not so long ago.

Then I hear the sound of a young girl's laugh, and over in the corner I find, young Cecily Herondale, with her older brother. "Will, what do the different marks mean?"

"The marks give us different abilities. You see this one on the back of my hand that look like an eye, it helps us see through the layers of glamours, and this is an iratze, pointing to a mark on the inside of his arm. It helps us quickly when we have been hurt. " Will was explaining, he looked up and stopped talking as his gorgeous blue eyes locked with mine. Why did he have be so beautiful, with his tangled, dark hair, and his long, thick lashes. Why do I keep noticing him so much. I am engaged to Jem. I need to stop thinking about Will.

"Hello, I was just wandering around, and I wound up here," I quickly try to think up an excuse. "Sorry for interrupting, I think I will just go back and see if Charlotte needs any help."

"You don't have to go," chimes in Cecily.

"No, really its ok, I was just stopping by," and I hastily exit the room. Why oh why did I just do that, I wasn't doing anything wrong. It has just been so awkward between me and Will lately, and I don't want to make it any worse.

Later on at dinner after Sophie served us this wonderful chicken dish that Bridget cooked for us. I just wish she would stop singing those awful songs.

And off goes my lover

Off to fight his own battles

He needs to go but I will miss him so...

Jem and Jessamine have already left along with Henry and Cyril, which meant the only people attending dinner tonight were Charlotte, Will, Cecily, and myself. There were a lot of empty periods where we just sat in silence. It just feels so awkward with out Jessamine and Will bickering, or Jem there to stop them. After a while Cecily starts shooting questions at Charlotte and Will, ever since she arrived at the institute she has not been able to stop herself from finding out as much about the Shadowhunter World as possible. Cecily Herondale is a strong willed little girl. In many ways she takes after her older brother. They both have a strange, but fiery intensity about them. Ever since Cecily has arrived Will has spent almost all of his time with her. I guess it is his way of trying to make up for the time he has lost with her. I know he feels awful about leaving home seven years ago, but he felt it was the only thing he could do, believing that he had that awful curse. Also lately he has been acting much nicer towards everyone, and just seems like a kinder, more considerate person in general. It is a good side of Will, and it seems to bring out the best in him.
