Tessa heard Clary call out Will's name. She looked over to where he was standing and her breath caught. Will doubled over and fell onto his knees. What had happened? Then Tessa saw a drop of blood splash on the ground followed by another and another.
"Will!" Her voice caught in her throat. No, no this wasn't happening, he was alright, he had to be. Tessa sprang to her feet and ran to him. Everything else wasn't important, all that mattered was Will and she had to get to him.
When she was close enough she saw the hilt of a dagger coming from his stomach. His clothes were already covered in his blood and he started to fall forward. Tessa moved to catch him in her hands. She laid down his head in her lap and pushed the hair out of his eyes. "Will?" His eyes fluttered up. They were so blue and when they met hers he smiled.
"Tess," He reached up to stroke the side of her face. The tears in Tessa's eyes spilled out over her cheeks and landed on his shirt. His touch was weak and she could feel his hand slipping. She put her hand on his holding it there. The rest of the world was a blur; there was only her and Will. "Tessa, I…" Will took a jagged breath in and winced with pain. Tessa was still stroking his hair but now her hand was shaking. "Tess, I love you." He shut his eyes and whispered the words again almost to himself.
"Will…" He didn't respond. It was then that Tessa realised she couldn't do this; she needed Will. "No… Will no…"
"Tessa," Jem's hand came down on her shoulder. Almost without thinking, Tessa leaned forward and kissed Will softly on the lips. She lifted his head off her lap and placed it down on the ground with great care. She then stood and looking at Jem, her heart felt like it was being ripped open. He reached out and pulled her into his arms. Her body started to shake with sobs. Tessa stayed in Jem's embrace, her mind was blank; she felt nothing but emptiness and the aching pain inside her chest. She stayed there until Jace and Clary came over. She could dimly hear Jem say that they would meet them back at the institute. He led her outside to the carriage and held the door open for her. Tessa stepped in and sat, she looked down at her dress that was now stained with Will's blood and knew that she had just lost the one person she loved the most in the world and not once did she tell him. He words echoed over and over in her head; I love you, Tess, I love you.
"I love you too, Will." Tessa whispered, but it was too late.
