I decided not to have any shadowhunters or downworlders. Not that I dislike the idea I just feel normality better suits the setting and plot of the story. I still singled Tessa out by making her American and the rest of the main characters are in the same house :).


"Humph" Tessa thought. "Could they have possibly sent a more self-important, stuck up, smug, conceited boy to escort me to the school?" once again Tessa looked up at the angelic face of William Herondale. His perfect skin along with that dark black hair and deep blue eyes made her knees go weak. "He may be arrogant, but could they have sent anyone who looks as good as he does?" Tessa sighed "Probably not". She was clearly distracted by his attractive features and continued to trip over the smallest things. Just as Tessa was pondering how soft will's lips would be against her own, Tessa's foot landed on something small resulting in her landing face first on the floor. Tessa quickly picked it up and slipped it in her purse, then hurried to catch up with Will.

"Where were you?" Will asked as Tessa fell into place with his long strides.

Tessa reluctantly pulled out the angel from her purse and handed it to will. "I found this. It was abandoned on the floor."

"It's beautiful." Will said as he examined the small trinket. "May I borrow this? I have a professor who would love to see it."

"I suppose." Tessa said. She had only just found it, so why did she feel so attached to the small knick-knack?

"Thank-you" Will replied. "Here we are. Which piece of luggage is yours?"

Tessa scanned the carousel for her luggage. Suddenly a familiar purple blob appeared. "It's right there." Tessa said, pointing at the only colorful suitcase on the conveyor belt. Purple was Tessa's favorite color. It was vibrant and cheerful.

Will reached to retrieve Tessa's luggage from the conveyer belt "Here you go, only piece of purple luggage here. Shall we go back to the car? Thomas is waiting for us. Then you can meet the rest of us."
