Authors Note: THE BOOK AND CHARACTERS BELONG TO CASSANDRA CLARE. THEY DO NOT BELONG TO ME.
Hello!
This is one of the main chapters in the story. I hope you enjoy. This chapter I found really hard to write and it took nearly two weeks to write it, even though it is quite short (I don't know why). Any criticism welcome!
Enjoy!

Tessa did not believe them, "That is not possible. He was dead. I saw his body!" She stood up and then sat back down and put her head in her hands.
"I know it will come as a shock to you but Jem and Charlotte thought it was best not to tell you."
"Why? Why did they not tell me?"
"Because of everything that had happened to you. Jem thought that if you knew he was alive you would not marry Will and you would both be miserable." Jem said that to Magnus a couple of days after becoming a Silent Brother, when he had been to visit him. Considering what had happened, he did not seem sad. He seemed happy, but Magnus failed to understand why.
Tessa snapped her head up, and said, "Jem did not know that me and Will were in love."
Magnus laughed nervously, "Jem found out, about an hour before his mortal life ended. Please forgive me Tessa, but it may have been my fault that he had found out."
"What happened?" She asked.
"Tessa, it was purely an accident. It was the day that Will left to save you."
London, 1878
Magnus walked in to find Will sitting on a chair next to Jem's bed . Will looked up when Magnus reached the foot of the bed. He had been there all night. If Will was in the room, Jem could use Will's strength to stay alive. "Magnus."
"Will." He replied.
"Look, if there is anything you could do to save Jem or if you could lengthen his life, I would be extremely grateful, and I would make sure you were paid whatever price you wanted."
"There is one cure, but it cannot be done by me. But you are his parabatai and it is you who has to choose."
"What is it?" asked Will.
"Once Jem has died, all the yin fen in his system will be gone, it will die with him, As long as the transformation is started before an hour after his death, he could become a Silent Brother. But it is a very dangerous procedure. And it must be done carefully."
"What are the chances of it being successful?"
"There is a fifty to fifty chance of it working."
"What are the real chances of it working?"
Magnus sighed, "About two in five Shadowhunters would survive the transition." Magnus waited before adding, "There is a high chance of him waking up before he passes away. That will be an ideal chance to tell him."
"Tell him what?"
"That you are in love with Tessa. "You may of been able to hide it from everyone else. But you couldn't from me, Will. He deserves to know."
"Thank you, Magnus for everything."
"And thank you Will." With that he left."
I know that this chapter ends really abruptly but I don't know what to write next.
See you later!
