Tessa couldn't tear her eyes away from the smoke and the flames, Jem's body was burning, turning to ash before her eyes, she felt like yelling stop, but it was too late, Jem was no longer with them. She felt a hand on her shoulder, she turned to see that it was Charlotte.

"Come on Tessa, Will's waiting for you by the carriage".

Tessa took one last look at Jem and followed Charlotte to the waiting carriage, one of the two they had taken to the Silent City, the others were getting into the back carriage, while only Will waited by the front one, he was standing by the horses, patting them. Charlotte nodded to Tessa, telling her to go ahead, and joined the rest of the Shadowhunters. She approached him.

"Will?"

"I was wondering if you would like to accompany me in paying tribute to Jem"

"I thought we just did that here?"

"We did"

Just then one of the Brothers stepped forward out of the smoke and handed Will what looked like a vase, Tessa realised what it was, Jem's ashes were inside. Will nodded to the Silent Brother and put the vase on the front seat of the carriage before offering Tessa his hand.

"I would like to pay tribute to James my way, please come"

"Of course I will" and she let Will help her up into the front of the carriage. He followed and with a quick flick of the reins the carriage lurched forward.

"So where are we going?" she asked Will as they travelled through the city.

"Blackfriars bridge, Jem's fa…"

"Favourite place" Tessa finished for him, Will turned and smiled at her, and put one hand on the ceramic jar between them that housed Jem's remains, Tessa put her hand on top, he didn't pull away, but they rode in silence the rest of the way to Blackfriar's bridge.

Will pulled the carriage right onto the bridge and they got out. Will took Jem's remains in one hand, and Tessa's hand in the other, and they walked to the railing, over looking the river Thames.

It was almost dusk, you might call this time twilight, there would be the signs of the first stars in the sky, if there were no clouds, tonight London felt gloomy, there was a thick layer of grey cloud, it had been that way all day. It was also sprinkling with a fine mist of rain, but it held off enough for them to say the final goodbye to Jem.

Will screwed the lid off the jar and put it on the stone wall beside him, he sat the jar down.

"We know you would want to rest half in the silent city and half in your favourite place in all of London, so that's why we've bought you here, I honour your wishes" Will said as he put his hand inside and took a handful of ashes and let them fly in the breeze, before they settled on the water below.

Tessa took a handful and did they same.

"Goodbye Jem" she cried as she let him go.

When all of Jem's ashes were gone, Will put the lid back on the jar and and took Tessa's hand again, they were both covered in a dark grey lining of ash, Jem was still between them, he always would be.


Will directed the carriage through the streets, they went past the turn off to the Institute.

"Where are we going now Will? We went past the Institute"

"To a bar"

"Will, please don't drink"

"Why not? Its been a long day, and you said it yourself that you enjoy one every now and then"

"Fine, lets go" she told him, she was only going so she could look after him, it was what Jem had wanted.

They pulled up outside a dilapidated building, the name of the pub was no longer lit up and most of the letters were missing and the sign was hanging half off, Tessa tilted her head to the side to read the sign,

"The Wishing Well, what kind of bar is this?"

"A Leprechaun one"

"Leprechaun's are real?" Tessa's eyes widened. She looked at the sign again, it was a glamour, and it peeled away to reveal a bright green sign with a picture of a pot of gold next to it, Irish music was drifting out the open door into the night.

"Of course they are, but be careful, they are sly creatures, they trick almost everyone, they are faeries after all" Will helped Tessa down and held her hand as they entered the pub.

As soon as they walked in Tessa saw a number of short statured men with long beards and tall green top hats,a few were waiters, one was behind the bar, and the rest were playing with the band, she had never been in a more cheerful place. Will pulled her towards the right corner of the room where some tables were, he pulled her into a booth.

"What's the rush, you almost pulled my arm off Will"

"Sorry I didn't want to miss this table" he told her as he signalled for a waiter.

While they were waiting Will put his arm around her shoulder.

"What's wrong Will?"

"Nothing, I'm just hiding from someone" he glanced around and quickly looked back at Tessa

"Who?" she followed his gaze and saw one of the Leprechauns coming towards them

"You're hiding from the bar tender?"

"Yes" he replied, looking back, and then she heard him curse. The short man approached the table

"Aye if it ain't William Herondale, what brings you here?"

"Hello Patrick, I'm just here with my girl to mourn the loss of James, can't you let a man grieve"

"James Carstairs is dead? Oh my, my condolences then. And who is this young thing? Another one of your whores?"

Will shot to his feet and swung out his seraph blade over Tessa's head and held it at Patrick's throat. Tessa's saw dropped in horror.

"How dare you pay tribute to Jem and insult Tessa in the same sentence, Tessa is not a whore, she is not a one night stand or a conquest, she is so much more to me, take it back!"

The Leprechaun put his hands up in protest.

"Ok I'm sorry I'm sorry, I take it back" Will withdrew his blade and put it away in his belt.

"Im glad you've found someone special at last though William"

"Thank you Patrick"

"Now what can I get you?"

"A gin and tonic for me, extra lime, and a red wine for Tessa"

"Certainly" then he bowed and walked off. Tessa looked at Will, who sat back down again.

"What was that all about Will?"

"Just a misunderstanding with his sister, I was not trying to seduce her, Leprechauns are not my type"

"So what is your type? You never told me"

With a brilliant grin he answered her,

"Gorgeous warlock girls with brown hair, brown eyes and a smile that makes me weak" Tessa smiled that smile and kissed him.
