Just a new story that I came up with just to see what kind of response it gets and then maybe i'll continue
Chapter 1:
Tessa POV
It was no secret, Jem and I were in love. We were happy to be engaged and at this point nothing could be better. On the other hand I was also in love with Will, and that was no secret either, to me at least. Will could not know the truth because then once again I would be hurting the people that I love. I figure if I keep denying the truth then maybe it won't be true, at some point at least.
I had never forgotten about Mortmain of course. Just the thought of him made me afraid, afraid that I wasn't safe, or Jem, or anyone else. I lived in fear that he would return and that fear was not uncalled for; for the day the letter arrived was the day that my life changed.
Jem needed Yinfen to live and Mortmain had the city's supply and all he wanted was me. I know how dangerous this is but I have to do it because I have to keep Jem alive. I don't know what I would do without him. Of course Jem would never let me go, but Mortmain always gets his way, and that's what i'm afraid of.
Just like I suspected, he attacked the Institute and kidnapped me. I ride in the carriage with tear rolling down my face. I don't know what's coming and I don't know how I will handle it. What does Mortmain want with me? My power? What else? What else could he possibly want with me? I scream from the frustration that has been pent up inside of me since the day I learned of the Magister's name. How is it that a mundane, a MUNDANE could attack an institute and escape unharmed. Much less unharmed than with what he wants. Mrs. Dark is in the carriage with me and she is fed up with me at this point and holds up a rag to my nose so that I fall unconscious and all I see is darkness.
Will POV
"How on earth could they have just taken her!" I scream. "They won't kill her they're too smart for that, they could torture her, they could rape her!"
I'm sitting against the wall outside of Jem's room waiting for him to regain consciousness and Charlotte, I know, is trying to comfort me but at this point i'm not sure I want to be comforted, I'm not sure anything will comfort me except for Tessa and Jem's well being. I need to find her, soon. At that moment I realize i've made up my mind. Jem will be fine for a few days, i'm going after Tessa.
Thank you for reading!
