The look on Linette's face was priceless when she saw Chinatown. She glanced towards him and he quickly looked away, he didn't want her to think him rude.

"Will, this is, this is wow, thanks. It feels like home."

He could tell she was being genuine when she said it. When she's with others she's closed off and scared. When she is with him, she's herself; she's broken, but happy; scarred, but beautiful.

She is perfect he thought. "So where do you usually eat here?" she asked excitedly, "Please tell me the food is authentic, there is nothing worse than English Chinese food."

Will smiled at her eagerness,

"Come this way, there's a shop run by some werewolves, best fried rice in New York. Come on I'll show you." Will wanted, to talk to her more, get to know more about the girl he rescued.

As they walked in the whole restaurant went quiet. "No shadow hunters allowed." Said the Asian werewolf gruffly.

Will quickly retorted, "That's funny, I saw a 'No Fae' sign at the door but not one for the Nephilim."

He got an angry look so he put his hands up in mock defeat, "Listen all I wanted to do was show this girl that America had good Chinese food."

He turned to a concerned Linette and spoke, "Yíhàn de ài, zhèxiē rén bù huì ràng wǒmen zài zhèlǐ chī (Sorry love, these people won't let us eat here.)"

As she caught on she groaned, "Dàn wǒ shì cóng shànghǎi yīlù, wǒ yīzhí zài xúnzhǎo pànzhe zhè jǐ gè xīngqí! (But I came all the way from Shanghai, and I have been looking forward to this for weeks!)" She exclaimed sadly.

"Fine, fine, fine I guess you can eat here, but no disturbing my guests, or you'll be thrown out first."


Will was perfect, Linette thought to herself. Smart, witty, strong, she was perfect. As they got sat down in the back corner of the shop, away from anyone else in the restaurant, they ordered some rice and started talking.

"That was brilliant William! Just brilliant, quite the little Piànzi (trickster) you turned out to be." She was genuinely impressed that they pulled that off, she was so sure in the end that either the wolf or Will was going to end up with a black eye. To her surprise Will blushed at the statement made and said sheepishly,

"You were quite the actress yourself Miss Catwright." She felt her face get warm again, but luckily the food came.

She took a bite and her mouth exploded with flavor, something was off though it tasted sweet, like burnt sugar; suddenly Will starts to cough.

It was a small cough at first as if something tickled his throat, but now he was hunched over, unable to catch his breath. He put his sleeve to his mouth and paled, it came back wet with blood.

She reached for his phone first took a picture of the restaurant sent to Zach and added 'werewolf attack Will's hurt' then hit send.

Next she bent down next to Will, who had fallen out of his chair and continued to cough up blood,

"Shh, Will, try to breath help is coming, shh." She spoke trying to be as soothing as he was to her.

Then the portal opened, and the residents of the New York Institute cam flying out. Zach immediately went to Will's side, picked him up and walked back through the portal. Jace threw her a knife and she was off to find the werewolf that did this, it didn't take long all she had to do was go to the front to grab the 'host'.

She threw him up against the wall and put the silver blade threw his hand, he screamed.

"WHAT DID YOU POISON HIM WITH!" he laughed

"You stupid bitch, you stupid nephilim! She will rise again and she'll come after you."

Linette pulled the knife and plunged it through is forearm, "What did you poison him with!" he stayed silent, until she twisted the blade deeper into his already burning arm.

"Alright, I put this in your food," he pulled a vi

le full of black liquid out from his shirt pocket, "She'll come for you the first chance she gets, she has been looking for you since the day you were born." "Who? Who has been looking for me?"

"The Queen." he smirked.

"The queen of what?" silence, she pulled the silver knife out again ready to strike once more, wen someone stopped her, Jem. "Linette, we need to leave, the Accords." With one nod she turns and pins the wolf's shoulder to the wall, them follows Jem through the portal with the vile of black blood in her hands.
