Hi, thanks for reading, i hope you are enjoying it! First of all, i wanted to say that i killed Will because i really wanted Tessa to realise that she needs to be with him (Tessa & Will 4ever) Secondly, thanks to everyone who reviewed, i really loved reading what you think. And lastly, I hope you like reading chapter 21, so here it is!
Clary knelt down next to Will and looked at the dagger. An ordinary iratze would not be able to heal this in time; she would need to create a more powerful rune to save him. "Please, please," She begged the angels. Nothing. "Jace!"
"I'm here," his voice came from her left shoulder.
"I don't know what to do, I-" Clary shut her eyes to stop them from watering. It was so faint that she almost missed it, but no, it was there. The rune flashed behind her eye lids, it looked very similar to a normal healing rune but it was more complex and extremely delicate.
Being more careful than she had ever been, Clary slowly pulled the dagger out of Will. His face tightened with pain, but Clary was so thankful; he was alive. She lifted up his bloody shirt and pulled out her stele. The wound was bad and if she waited any longer they would lose him. Clary touched the tip of her steel to Will's skin next to the cut. At first her hand was shaky but after years of drawing she controlled her hand and got the rune down onto Will. It burned for a second then began to sink into his skin taking the cut away with it. Clary ran her fingers over Will's now perfect stomach; nothing remained there, not even the rune. And when she thought about it, Clary struggled to remember what it had looked like.
"Will?" Jace waited for an answer. And he got one.
"Clary, Jace? What- Where's Tessa?" Clary smiled. Will had almost died and all he cared about was Tessa.
"Jem took her back to the institute, she's fine." Clary reassured Will.
"I wouldn't say 'she's fine'," Jace said in a playful tone, "She just watched the guy she loves die."
At hearing this, Will looked down and Clary could see him blushing. A smile grew on her face; he was so sweet. But then she remembered Tessa. She did just watch the guy she loved die and now she was on here way back to the others thinking he was still dead.
"Well, then let's go put her out of her misery, shall we?" After a moment of thought Clary added, "I think we might need to use Mortmain's carriage, Jem and Tessa took the other one." Clary stood and helped Will to his feet. He looked from Jace to Clary then back again and a huge smile spread across his face.
