No copyright intended, all characters and some ideas belong to Cassandra Clare. This is my second fic and I really love the Infernal Devices Series from what I've read so far. This story is set after I read the first book and I didn't have the second one at the time I wrote this. I've read the second one and love what happens in it but I like my idea here too and hope you guys love it as much as I do. Please go easy on me and I'll write more if you guys like it. I'm typing my fics on my tablet so I have to use fanfic copy-n-paste to upload.

Tessa had been gone for three years now, having left the Institute because she didn't belong with the Shadowhunters, is what she told Charlotte when she left. The truth was that Will hadn't wanted her there. She learned a lot since she's left those years ago and now she came back to the Institute with some very valuable knowledge. It took her quite some time to get the knowledge she needed to be able to cure Jem, she owed it to him. He never got mad at her like Will did and was always polite to her. He acted like he'd cared for her, while Will did not.

She learned most of what she knew from Magnus Bane, the warlock she met through an incident that happened when she was still at the Institute. She had stayed with him for about a year and a half, learning all that he could teach her before venturing off on her own to try to find the cure for Jem. He had said it was impossible to find a cure, he had tried himself when Charlotte came to him for help. Tessa told him she was going to try anyway when she decided to leave his care and go out on her own.

She was slamming her fists on the Institute doors now, saying she needed to see Jem. No one answered her pleading yells, so she thought she may have been too late to save him. She thought to herself then,

"It's been three years since they saw me last, I'm sure I don't look the same way they remember me." She dropped her hands away from the door then.

"It's me... Theresa Gray... the warlock. I know a way to cure Mr. Carstairs... please let me in." She had addressed Jem that way this time to be polite, she hadn't seen any of them since she had left so it was only polite to do so now.

Well that's the end of this one for now, people don't probably know much about this story line but I hope those of you that do like it.
