Ever After
Chapter 4
Silence:

The cold walls offered no heat from the outside air coming through the old rusted gate. Brother Jeremiah stood/levitated looking out at the plots and stones marking the sites where a soul rested underneath the dirt. Brother Jeremiah knew that some of his family and closest friends were out on the other side of the plain, buried in the same spot that they were the day they were put there. Brother Jeremiah could remember every single day, for he was always the one to officiate the death and service. There was Will, Jessamine, Charlotte, Henry, Sophia, the Lightwood brothers, and all of their children were beneath the soil. It felt like just yesterday he was Jem Carstairs instead of just Brother Jeremiah. He missed the days he spent with Will just doing the thing he loved; shadow hunting. But that was in the past and it was time for him to move on, and start a new life in New York. He would be moving to the Brotherhood in New York. Tessa had already moved to the U.S. earlier in the year, from the note that she had left him. IN the note she said she would be staying with their old friend Magnus Bane. Jem could understand why she was leaving; there was too much pain from living here in London. This was the place that Tessa had the best and worst memories; this was the place she had fell in love with Will and Jem and lost them both over time. This was also the place that Will died, along with the rest of her family.

Brother Jeremiah turned his head from the view of the country side and towards the darkness that he had lived in for the past 130 years. Brother Enoch emerged from the darkness, his robes not even rustling or touching the ground.

Are you ready?

Yes Brother Enoch, when do we leave?

We leave at sunset.

Okay, I will see you in a while. I have one more stop, to visit before we leave.

Go ahead; make sure you are here before sunset. We don't want to be late. Brother Enoch said telepathically as he floated away.

Brother Jeremiah made his way across the field to see the plots that he had ingrained in his head. The plots were scattered across the field by family name. On one side there was Lightwood, Herondale in the middle, and Fairchild on the outside. The last time that Brother Jeremiah had been here, it was with Tessa on her wedding anniversary; the day she wept into his shoulder. It would have been Tessa and Will's anniversary for being married to each other for twenty five years. It was also the day that Jem and Tessa met up once a year. Tessa had collapsed into his arms and just lay there as they stood in front of the stone that said William Herondale, a beloved shadow hunter, son, brother, husband, father and uncle. And below it said Love always and forever, Will's favorite saying. He would say it to her every night after they got tucked into bed.

Jem stood in front of the grave now, looking at the slightly aged head stone that had a layer of dew on it. Jem knew that Will would be proud of his children now, and most of all proud of Tessa. Even through everything that she had been through she still kept her head held high. Next to Will was Ella Herondale, the sister that Will never spoke about without getting choked up in grief. One the other side of Will was Cecily's headstone as she had died after both of her siblings. She had died as a Lightwood with children and grandchildren, she even had great great-great grandchild that was recently turning four.

Next to Cecily was the Lightwoods and Sophie. There was Gabriel directly next to Cecily and on the other side there was Sophie and Gideon Lightwood. Jem was there when Sophie got her Ascension, and was happy for the sweet and caring that and serviced him and the other Institute members for years.

One the other side of the Herondales, there was the Fairchilds. Jem could still remember watching from afar as Charles Fairchild grew up and became a sweet caring inventor/shadow hunter like his parents. Henry allowed Charlotte to name him Fairchild because it sounded better than Branwell on Charles.

Come now Brother Jeremiah it is time for you to come with us to New York. Brother Enoch said through his thoughts to Jem.

Yes Brother Enoch, I am ready to leave now.

And with the thought Jem slowly made his way towards the carriage that would take them to the boat that would take them to the Americas.
