Hey, everybody! This is chapter 2 of Here Comes the Bride! I really need reviews on this story, because right now I don't know if you guys love it or hate it, or what I can do to make it better. So please leave reviews. Thanks for reading, and enjoy! (:
Tessa looked around the room wildly. Jem was no where to be seen. The clockwork creatures had left fairly quickly, it didn't seem like they had wanted a fight. She looked everywhere, and still no Jem. No one had seemed to be hurt by the attack, thank God. Her wandering eyes soon found Will, who also seemed to be looking for Jem.
"Do you know where…" Tessa trailed off. She knew he would understand what she meant. He shook his head slowly. "I saw him go fight….then it was almost as if he disappeared." Tessa began to internally freak out. She continued looking around, now for some kind of clues. She went up to the door of the Institute, and found a short note attached to it.
Ms. Grey:
We have taken the Shadowhunter. We are holding him captive here. If you agree to finally marry me, then he will be released. You have one week before he dies.
Mortmain
A tear of frustration and anger rolled down Tessa's cheek. She looked around and noticed Will coming to her. She closed the distance between them in two long strides. "Will! They have taken Jem!" A sob escaped her as Will took the note and examined it.
"Charlotte," he called. Charlotte walked over quickly, worry clear on her features. Will handed her the note solemnly, "They have taken Jem." Charlottes face grew pale.
"We need to talk to the Council before we can do anything. Benedict will do whatever it takes to remove me from my position, and that can't happen if we are to find Jem in time." Will and Tessa scowled at her, and turned away.
"We need to do this on our own I suppose," Will said, mischievously eyeing Tessa.
"We have to wait, Will. We do not know where Mortmain is."
"Actually," Will cut in, "I believe I do. Cecily, she's staying with us. She knows Mortmain. Who better to tell us where he is?" Tessa nodded slowly.
"Cecily!" Will screamed. She turned around, surprised. She had been talking to Charlotte about what happened. She slowly walked up to them, "What do you need?" she said, obviously aggravated.
"We have a job for you. It is very important.," Will responded.
"How am I supposed to help? I only just started my training. I can't be of any help as far as fighting those creatures goes."
"But," he paused, "you lived with Mortmain when he was in your home, correct?" Cecily nodded. "What does that have to do with anything?"
"We need you to help us find him," Tessa spoke up.
"Fine. I would love to help. Maybe I can skip some of my training if I show I can be useful in an actual mission…" She smiled. "When do we start?"
"Meet us tonight, outside of the Institute, at around midnight. I will make sure Cyril has the coach ready," Will said. Cecily nodded, and grinned.
So that was the chapter! I know it was very short, but I had to set up the plot a little bit. Please leave me some reviews, whether you loved it or hated it, or if you have some ideas on where the story can go from here. I will be posting the next chapter next Sunday. I hope you enjoyed!
