Ok well, I already had this written, so here is chapter 2. Please review though, I love to hear what you think and I read every single one! XD


Will, who was just settling in to bed for the night, opened up his book. Reading helped him to fall asleep sometimes, especially when he had so much on his mind. He opened the book and started reading the first couple of pages, but soon he let his thoughts drift somewhere else. Tessa. He still wasn't over his feelings for her. A part of him knew that he never would get over it, but there was no guarantee that she felt the same. Then, he heard a cry, followed by a high, piercing scream echoing through the hallways of the Institute.
He leapt up from his bed. Tess, Tess, Tess, were the first thoughts that echoed through his mind. He paused to listen for a moment longer, and then threw open his door and raced down the hallway.
As he ran, the scream became louder. Now there was no doubt that it was Tessa. Panic coursed through his veins, but he had to stay strong. That's what he was born to do as a Shadowhunter.
He threw open Tessa's door, and nearly fainted when his eyes adjusted to the darkness. There, in the middle of the room, was Jem, holding a knife to Tessa's throat.
Even as million thoughts swam through Will's brain in that instant, somehow he was speechless. He saw Tessa's pleading grey eyes, eyes that would always melt his soul. His natural instinct was to protect the ones he loved. But how could he protect both of them when Jem was clearly hurting Tess?
"Jem, please explain. IMMEDIATELY. And please get your hands off of Tessa." Will calmly demanded. There was no use in panicking, or yelling, He knew that it would only make the situation worse, even though Will clearly had no idea what was going on.
"Will, stay out of this," Jem hissed in warning.
"No Jem, I will not stand by and let my parabatai hurt his fiancé. Please explain now, or I swear on the Angel, I will hurt you myself."
"Resorting to open threats, are we now, William? Why don't you just call for Charlotte and Henry and Sophie. Go ahead. Go ahead and call them and I kill Tessa."
"Will, please-" Tessa gasped.
Will now had to face one of his biggest fears: hurting his best friend and parabatai while trying to save the girl he loved most in the world. He didn't hesitate though; not one single doubt ran through his mind when swung his fist at Jem.
Jem recoiled and dropped the knife. The traces of Tessa's blood glimmered on the wood of the Institute floor. Will could hardly stand to look at Tessa anymore, for fear that he would run to her and cradle her in his arms. If only he could tell her that everything would be fine. Instead, he focused on Jem. Jem, who was his closest friend, whom he trusted with his life.
"I bet you're very confused right now, brother. I'm sure that Tessa can fill you in on all of the details, but I'll tell you this; I am The Magister."
It was in that moment that Will noticed Tessa slump to the ground and lose consciousness.
