Hey, everybody! Some of you may know me for my other Infernal Devices story, If Will Came First, which will soon be over. ): For those of you who haven't read it yet, I highly encourage you to. This story is going to be a little different from others I've done before. This one is a romance/adventure story. So I need plenty of reviews! I'll be really grateful for any I get. So, here is the story, I hope you enjoy! (:
Tessa stood and watched Sophie work her magic. She was doing Tessa's hair for the wedding that was today, her wedding. She still couldn't believe she was getting married in a couple of hours. She was getting married to Jem. She was surprised that Sophie wasn't at least a little bit upset, but she had Gideon now. Things like this no longer upset her as much.
"Miss Gray, are you ready?" Sophie asked as she pulled out a box. Tessa's heart skipped a beat as Sophie removed the cover. Inside was the most beautiful dress Tessa had ever seen. It was a bright white color, Charlotte made sure it was white when she picked it out. Charlotte and Jessamine had completely planned the wedding. They were having a mundane ceremony, since Tessa couldn't get runes. They had really outdone themselves. The dress was huge around, I wonder if I'll be able to even walk in it, Tessa thought. She doubted it could fit down the aisle without injuring an innocent guest.
Sophie giggled at the look of terror on Tessa's face. "Everything will be okay. Charlotte and Jessamine did a good job with the wedding, and the dress. Nothing will go wrong. And you know Master Jem will never let anything bad happen to you, nor will he ever do anything bad to you. There is nothing to be stressed about. Just have fun, it's your wedding day." Exactly, Tessa thought, that's why I'm worried. I'm sure Jem won't be able to catch me if I topple in this huge dress and knock over candles and catch the whole place on fire. Sophie giggled again, "Let's get you in the dress, now, Tessa,"
Tessa stood in front of the door, while Charlotte was running about. The wedding party was getting ready to go out. Most of them were Shadowhunters. Jem was already out, next to the Inquistor. He was in charge of doing all Shadowhunter weddings, even if this one was done with mundane traditions. The first person to step out the doors was Will, he was Jem's best man, obviously. Will looked at Tessa, obvious pain in his eyes, before he stepped out and took his place beside Jem. Jem had only wanted one best man, so after that Tessa's bridesmaids stepped out. She, sadly, only had Jessamine. She had refused to walk arm in arm with Will.
Then, with a smile to Tessa, Sophie stepped out. She was the flower girl, since they didn't know anyone young enough to do it. Tessa's heart skipped a beat as the wedding march began to play, and everyone stood up. Henry took Tessa's arm. They had decided that since Tessa's father was dead, as was Jem's, and Nate was, as well, that Henry should be the one to walk her down the aisle.
"Everything will be alright," Henry said, "I felt the same way when I married Charlotte. You must not worry, you and Jem are perfect together." He smiled at her, probably because Tessa looked like she was going to pass out. She did feel better after Henry's words though, it meant that everyone about to get married felt this way, and most of them survived.
Tessa then took a deep breath and she began to walk. This isn't that bad, she thought at first. Until she looked ahead. There was Jem, the biggest smile she had ever seen on his face. Tessa smiled back. She tried to keep from looking at the person to Jem's right. She couldn't though, and she wished she hadn't. Will was obviously in a lot of pain, and it was all Tessa's fault. She looked away to stare at Jem. She was getting married.
The Inquistor continued on forever. He was obviously trying to combine what people said at mundane weddings, and Shadowhunter ones. Finally it came to the part where her and Jem repeated after him, and said I do. Then the most surprising thing happened.
The Inquistor asked the question that is always asked right before he calls you husband and wife. "Does anybody object to this marriage?" Tessa figured no one would, until Benedict Lightwood stood up. "Mr. Carstairs can not be Nephiliam anymore, if he marries a warlock. I don't think he knows this." Jem stared at him coolly, "Yes, I know this. Tessa is being trained in the ways of the Nephiliam. Everything is worked out."
Before Benedict could respond, the doors to the wedding hall fell down, and on the other side approached an army of clockwork creatures.
Thank you so much for reading! As you can tell, I do need some help, so please leave me some reviews. As always, thank you so much! (:
