Will ran into the dining room. Tessa was on the floor, a pool of blood pouring out of her mouth. Will froze in horror. He looked up and saw a figure standing in the doorway, a knife in one hand, bloodied. Without any warning, the figure collapsed onto the floor with a dull thud.

*One Week Earlier*

It's been practically a month since our talk on the roof. We've only talked to each other when needed, but its been killing me on the inside, I needed someone to talk to. I highly want to ignore Jessamine, she has been simply irritated these passed weeks, and even if I did try and put effort into talking to her, she would just spit back insults.

"Tessa," she heard through her door, "Dinner is ready." she recognized the voice immediately.

"I'll be there in a few short moments, thank you Sophie." Tessa said softly. She heard Sophie's footsteps receding from her door. She closed the Codex. She placed it down and headed for the door. She looked both ways, trying her best to avoid a certain someone. Will. She thought, she shuddered at the sound of his name. She started to walk out and heard footsteps behind her. She recognized those footsteps. Even his footsteps were arrogant. She giggled at the thought. I can't look back now, I can't let him know that I know he's behind me. Tessa thought. She heard the footsteps come closer, but then stopped. What in the hell? she turned around and no one was there. Must've been my imagination. Tessa whipped back around and there he was, at the end of the hallway. She stopped dead in her tracks, almost wobbling over. She quickly turned around and started to walk very fast to the other end, but where was she to go? The dining room was the other way. "Where Will was" Tessa thought aloud. Covering her mouth, she gasped.

"Thinking about me?" his arrogant tone could not be mistaken. Now he was in front of her, she jumped. Tessa rolled her eyes.

"Why does everything have to be about you Mr. Herondale?" She noticed Will wince at the formality. This was her chance to make an escape before he said anything. With that, she walked around him and entered the dining room, Will following her. "What are you two doing being late for dinner?" Jessamine scoffed, rolling her eyes. None of them responded. Tessa sat down, and Will sat down across from her. They were the only two seats available. She could feel all eyes on her. She looked up and then quickly looked down.

"Tessa, are you okay?" Charlotte asked with concern in her voice.

"I'm perfectly fine." Tessa's voice came out all shaky. Will's head shot up.

"Ms. Gray your really pale!" Sophie gasped.

"I'm fine, really." Tessa whispered. She felt her chest tighten up and felt something running out the corner of her mouth. Everybody's expression dropped. She quickly grabbed at her mouth, pulling away there was blood on her hands. She grabbed a napkin and quickly dabbed at it. Now she was shaking very rapidly.

"Tessa!" Jem gasped. More blood began to pour out of her mouth, now rapidly. Will froze in horror.

"TESSA!" Charlotte screamed. Tessa collapsed, and everything went black.
