SORRY FOR THE DELAY! I know I left you with a major cliffy! I have now finished reading Clockwork Princess, and the ending to the fiasco with Mortmain may be similar- but not in the aspect of that REALLY BIG CRAZY THING THAT HAPPENS WITH MORTMAIN. But enough of this, I need Magnus to do the disclaimer for me…

Me: Magnus, where are you?

Magnus: I cannot assist you! I'm too busy trying to save Tessa and Will!

Me: I know, I know, but I just need you to do the disclaimer for me!

Magnus: Dammit, woman, don't you understand-

Me: MAGNUS PLEASE!

Magnus: *running, out of breath* Fine! Banes-woman-does-not-own-the-Infernal-Devices-or-a ny-of-its-characters!

Me: THANK YOU, GOOD LUCK!

Magnus' POV

"Dammit to hell, dammit to hell, dammit it to hell…"

I was muttering to myself as I ran up the steps to the Institute in nothing but my night wear and coat. It was cold and wet. My fingers might have been slightly numb, but I hardly noticed as I pounded as hard on the Institute doors as possible, over and over again. It seemed like centuries until someone answered the door.

The red-haired man, Henry, I think, looked at me with intrigued eyes, as if wondering what I was doing standing outside in my slippers. His expression soon changed when he saw my own.

"What is it?" he asked. "What's happened?"

"It's Mortmain," I answered, as Henry ran a hand through his hair. "He has Will and Tessa."

Will's POV

Pain. All I felt was pain. And still it hadn't been anything compared to the time when Tessa told me she did not love me, that she was engaged to Jem. For her I would endure it, for her I'd…try to endure it.

But pain is pain, and I screamed nonetheless. The iron rod didn't enter my heart, but slid alongside it. Someone else screamed, too. All I saw was red. Red, red, red-and Tessa. Tear streaked face, beautiful face, such a beautiful-

"So, Miss Gray, would you consider helping me now?"

Mortmain looked smug. I wish I could smack that look off his face, but I was injured and held down. All I could use was my words.

"No…Tessa…don't…!" I managed to get out.

She looked at me, crying; always worried about me, Tessa was. We locked gazes and I shook my head. She looked at Mortmain. "I'll do anything. Anything you want, just please, please don't hurt him. I'll do whatever you ask of me if you promise not to harm him any longer."

"Tessa, no-"

"What good is my promise to you?" Mortmain inquired, approaching the bars that separated Tessa from my cell. She flinched but did not move.

"I believe you don't do anything unless it benefits you. Harming Will when you already have what you want will not do you any good, therefore you won't."

"Alright, Tessa, I promise no harm will come to Mr. Herondale, if you promise to do everything I ask."

"NO!" I shouted, then flinched in pain.

Tessa looked at me. "I'm sorry, Will. I can't-I can't let him hurt you."

"I don't care about me, I won't let you-"

"Will. This is my decision." She looked up at Mortmain. "I promise."

"NO!"

"Very well, Miss Gray, my servants will arrange for you to stay in a more comfortable room. As for now, you will escort me to my personal chambers."

"No! Mortmain, I swear, if you lay a single finger on her-"

"You'll what, Shadowhunter? You are bleeding and chained in this very room. There is nothing for you to do." I stared at him with hostility. "Oh come now, William, lighten up. This agreement of hers shows how much she really loves you. You should be flattered."

Magnus's POV

"What?!" Charlotte exclaimed.

"Mortmain has-"

"I heard you!" Charlotte paced back and forth. "I don't know what to do, Angel, what do I do…"

"Perhaps contact with the Clave is necessary in this case?" I suggested.

"I don't know if they'll listen to me, Magnus. I am, afterall-"

"An incredibly strong leader and trustworthy woman? Yes, you are. Will and Tessa need you, Charlotte."

Charlotte looked back at me and took a deep breath. "You're right. I will send a message to the Clave immediately. Henry-"

But Henry did not hear her statement, because at that moment the front doors of the Institute exploded.

Yikes! I know its short, and I'm sorry, but it's all I have time for. Review, ya? :D Oh and give me some pointers and suggestions guys, I'd love some advice on how to wrap up the story!
