The Institute of London
Henry was working on his latest creation when he heard a noise next to him.
Will. He was walking toward him, an expression of disgust on his face.
"What happened to you?" He asked Will, raising his eyebrows.
"Lightwoorm is kissing my little sister. I will never get used to it." He said, without looking at him. He was looking at the machine. "What do you build?" He asked, getting closer to the machine. There was something about that thing that he could not keep his eyes off the machine. Henry noticed that.
"It's a time machine. Well, it should be at least." He said, wheelchair rolling towards Will.
"What is the problem?" Will asked, still looking at the machine.
Expression of confusion raised on his face. "Excuse me?"
"Why you can't use the machine? You said it should be a time machine, so why it doesn't work?"
Henry looked at his creation and then on Will, wondering if Will can keep what is about to say in secret, until the machine will work.
"Well, the problem is; for now at least, somebody from the other side need to press the bottom on the machine." He said, pointing on the red big bottom.
"The other said?" Will asked in confusion.
"Someone from the future. You see – there is only one machine, only one door to travel time. But, the machine is also somewhere in the future – if someone from the future will press the bottom, the machine would start to work and a travel time door would be open. At that time, someone from the future could go to her, to the past – and opposite." He explained.
"So… It is possible that we would press the bottom and the future us would see the present us?" He asked with curiosity voice.
"Actually yes, but it would be pointless. Future is also considered a minute, a second, what good would come of it?"
"So we just need someone from the future to press on the bottom?"
Henry laughed, "No, No, it's not that simple. First of all, only a shadowhunter can make the machine work, it would be dangers for him; the machine would draw powers from his runes to open the travel time door, he need to be strong enough to survive this process. It should be a sacred place - a church or a synagogue, and the most important thing is that it have to be done at night. The machine would draw power from the moon – "
"But you said it have to be in sacred place, the last time I checked, those places are close." Will said, interrupting Henry.
"The machine does not need a direct connection with the moon." He finished his explain.
Will looked at the machine and then smiled. "How do you know all those things anyway?"
"Researches, hypotheses and experiments. Trial and error!" Henry said proudly.
Will's smile grow. "Do you mind if I check closely machine?"
Henry thought about that for a minute and then said, "Fine, but be careful and don't touch anything."
Will nodded in understanding. He walked to the machine, like dog go to bone. He examine the machine – it was a big metal frame and before he even noticed, he touched the machine.
"Watch out! It is still under construction!" Henry yelled at him.
"Oh Henry, don't worry. I faced a lot of things – some of them really disgusting." He said with the Lighwood's dad-worm in his head. "Some of them made me broke my heart – "
He stopped. Jem. He missed him so much. He never told Tessa that but now, that Jem became a Silent Brother, he felt like he was stealing Tessa from Jem. He wanted the three of them to be forever so much.
"Will, are you okay?" Henry asked him worried.
Will nodded. "I fine, just lost in thoughts." He continued to check the machine. Suddenly, a noise came from the machine, and before he could understand what was happening, a blow light swallow him.
"WILL!" Henry shouted to the boy who wasn't there anymore.
Will's head ached. For a moment, he saw a blonde – guy boy lying on the floor and a red head girl yelling everywhere, and before he noticed, he fainted.
The next time he woke up, he was lying on a bed. He tried to stand up when a pain shout thought his back. He fall back to where he was.
"Careful, you might hurt yourself," said a voice next to him. It was a girl. A beautiful girl actually, with a long dark hair, and a big brown eyes. "Are you okay? You just appeared here out of nowhere."
"Yes, I'm fine." He answered. The realization speeded into him. He was in the future, not able to get back to his time. Not able to see Tessa again. It can't be.
"You are pale." Said the girl.
"That's not new to me." Will said with unwillingly voice. "Why are you – "
"You awake." came a voice behind the girl. It was a guy. His hair was black too, but his eyes where blow, just like Will's, it was like seeing his lost brother. "Jace is awake, he will need your help." said the guy. The girl nodded and get out of the room, probably to Jace or whatever it would be. "So, where are you from? I can tell from your accent you're from Britain. The Institute of London, I guess." Will nodded. He felt unconfutable, and it seemed that the guy noticed it because then he presented himself. "I'm Alec, Alec Lightwood, by the way."
"Lightwood?" the world came out of Will's mouth. How long has he jumped forward?
"Yes. Why, are there any problems?"
"Not at all, Lightworm." He said and added quickly – "I mean, Lightwood."
Alec raised his eyebrows. "Well, so, you want to call to your Institute? We need to call to the Clave, but if you would go back to your Institute, everything would be solved."
Will looked at him for a second. "To call? What is it?"
Alec gave him unbeliever look and then he laughed. "Seriously, do you want that I would call to them? I mean, you'll have to – "
"I really don't know what is 'to call'." Will said in a serious voice. By the angle, what is he talking about?
Alec looked at him for a second. "It is – it is a time machine?" Will nodded. "That's not good. Not good at all." Alec looked from Will to the floor. "Wait here. Just, wait here. Don't move." He moved toward the door and get out quickly.
Well, the at least the Lightwoods stayed the same.
