Hi everyone! This is my new story. I recently finished The Clockwork Angel~ and I loved it. Or liked it at least :P Anywho I had an inspiration to write this story and started to act on it! If you like Will, I'm sure you'll like this story!
"Will, there is a rumor running around about a girl named Anastasia."
Will who seemed very amused and only mildly interested looked up from the book he was currently reading with a face so innocent that if Charlotte didn't know any better would think he really was just as innocent as he behaved when trying to get out of an assignment involving girls.
But why? She didn't know, before Tessa came to the institution Will even though wouldn't touch the girls he saved still behaved like he didn't think anything was better than saving girls in the whole world. But times sure did change, Charlotte thought. Jem was looking more and more healthy with Tessa along, Jessamine was behaving a little less hostile towards everyone (Will didn't count) and even Sophie seemed to have gotten over her grief of Agatha and Thomas, poor girl. Then comes Will, looking at him Charlotte could only stare, his eyes which used to hold only hollowness now seemed to light up at times, especially when he looked at Tessa. Even his personality had shifted. He was showing more of his real self now, and Charlotte knew coz she had seen him grow up from a 12 year-old-boy to a 18-year-old- man who thought he might be good at hiding his true face from her but Charlotte knew and even Jem did that Will had a very kind and vulnerable heart inside all that metal and cold.
"As I was saying, Jem is feeling better but I don't feel safe sending him out so soon, so I was hoping you could look at the case, like you did with the Dark Sisters." She cleared her throat and started towards the door of the living room before Will could protest but paused at the entryway, looking back at Will who had by now straightened up and was staring at Charlotte with a million questions in his eyes but Charlotte's only response was her choice of ignoring those questions and making one thing very clear. "Do try not to gamble too much, this assignment is strictly confidential and very important for this Institute's reputation. And I'm trusting you."
With that she left, leaving Will furious and wanting to break something. Anything.
First Chapter done! Please comment and tell me your thoughts, I don't mind critical response but still try not be too harsh! : )
Until next time!
