Levvie and Jemmie Ashalder
When Isabelle and Simon walk into Taki's they're surprised of how elegant it looks. The lights are dimmed; the tables draped with deep red table cloths and the head table, where their wedding party sat was covered with a silky gold, table cloth with runes embroidered into the hem. The bridal party which consists of Clary, Aline, and Maia are all grinning as they look towards the smiling couple. Someone taps on Izzy's shoulder as she makes her way over to the head table "excuse me" someone says. Isabelle turns to look at a smiling girl with long brown hair. "Sorry to bother you dear" says the girl "my name is Tessa Gray." Isabelle smiles at the girl, she has no idea of who this is.
Tessa sees her confusion and clarifies, "I'm a friend of Magnus, and he thought it would be good for me if I came. I hope you don't mind."
Isabelle smiles politely, "It's no problem at all; what can I help you with?"
Tessa hands her a black box, and says to her, "Open it," she urged. Isabelle looked at her curiously as she unraveled the ribbon on the box. Inside, nestled on a bed of soft cotton was a silver chain with a fire pendant that had an L in the middle. Isabelle looked confused, "You have a Lightwood family heirloom; how?"
"Well" Tessa started "it's kind of a long story, but let's just say I'm a sort of warlock so I have been living for 130 years. That's how I know Magnus by the way. Anyway I was married to Will Herondale, who's sister Cecily married Gabriel Lightwood, and before he died he gave me this pendant and told me he knew I'd live forever and to give the necklace to one of the newer generations of the Lightwoods who was worthy of such a great gift" Tessa paused, "and I chose you. The Lightwoods have battled against many adversaries and have had their share of issues; however they hold their pride in high regard. You fell in love with a vampire; you didn't let any one stop you from true love, which shows true shadow hunter pride." Isabelle wrapped her arms around Tessa. "Thank you so much, Tessa. It is such an honour to have been given such a gift" Isabelle said graciously. Tessa smiled and took the lid off the box; she removed the pendant and slipped it around Isabelle's neck. "You're welcome Isabelle; I'm so happy you like it." Tessa began to walk away. "Wait, Tessa?" Isabelle started. Tessa stopped to look at Isabelle. "I really hope we can be friends, why don't you come sit with my friends and I at the head table? Isabelle asked. "It would be an honour". Tessa said. With that Tessa followed Izzy over to the head table where Simon, Clary, Maia, Aline, Jace, Jordan, Alec, and Magnus sat. Tessa slipped into the seat beside Magnus and smiled at him". "You guys" Isabelle started "I'd like you to meet Tessa Gray" said Izzy as she gestured toward Tessa.
"Hello Magnus," Tessa says politely sitting down, "hello everyone."
Magnus goes to reply with a smirk on his face when Alec interrupts him, "how do you two know each other?" He tries to play it cool but everyone at the table can see his agitation.
Magnus rolls his eyes, "I knew her a long, long, long time ago."
"How long ago exactly, did you know her?"
"Around one hundred and thirty years Alexander. She was married to someone I used to know."
"Who did you used to know?"
"My god Alexander, do you remember when Camille mentioned Will Herondale?" Alec nods, "WELL, Tessa was married to him."
"Oh," came Alec's short reply as he blushed deeply and tried to sink farther into his seat.
Simon chuckles at Alec's jealousy, "oh, you were so told, Alexander." The whole table started laughing.
The rest of the night went by without a hitch; everyone had enjoyed themselves profusely, and the couple was happy.
They said goodbye to all their guests and then went back to the institute to enjoy the rest of the night together.
