Magnus's POV

Magnus watched from the drawing room as the Silent Brother walked up the steps. He rolled his neck making it crack and sighed thoughtfully. James Carstairs, Ke Jain Ming, Brother Zachariah. He tilted his head back to look at him better, he could see the difference in him to the other Silent Brothers, and he still had his eyes. Not that they were much use, he added sadly. He walked over and answered the door, smiling at his guest

"Brother Zachariah, pleasure. And I'm glad to see you still have some form of eyes. I always liked misty eyes, it's mysterious"

Will said you like to flirt, you will find no use in flirting with me though, Magnus Bane, my heart it with Tessa and I think it would be frowned upon of a warlock decided to court a Silent Brother

"Oh you're a sly little fox aren't you? Will didn't say you had a tongue, please come in" Magnus stepped aside and gestured for Jem to step threw. Magnus knew just by watching him, all his Shadowhunter grace was gone. It was saddening to see it if he was honest, Jem and Will had always been such powerful Shadowhunters. He sighed and followed Jem into the drawing room and sat down opposite him, crossing his leg

"Now, to what do I owe this pleasant surprise visit?"

Will has not spoken to me

"That is to be expected"

The first day I went to see him, he shouted at me a lot. He promised me that he would speak to me the next day. So of course I believed him, come the next day I discover he had taken off across the forest on a Balious and returns with his head partly smashed in. Magnus rubbed his chin

"So he is purposely avoiding you?" Jem nodded

"I'm disappointed in him, you are his parabati. He should speak to you" Magnus stood up and examined his room "You know, he and Tessa came he one night. Tessa tried to attack Woolsey with the poker and Will got in a fist fight with him, they were both distraught. It was you they were distraught about, Will was determined to find a cure to your illness"

He always was determined too

"Is that a bad thing? He wanted to help you"

I was beyond helping, the least he could've done was making my passing peaceful

"See, I don't think you would've given up so easily. I think you were trying to fight it"

I was trying to fight it, but it was like trying to catch smoke with your bare hands of write in water. Magnus nodded and sighed

"We need to get him to speak, somehow"

You could try speaking to him, he has always been found of you and listened to you

"No, no it would end badly"

Not if you let it, if you let your tempers clash then nothing will be achieved but if you control yourself and fight that anger, you may achieve something.

"You're very wise, I see why Will choose you as his parabati" Magnus ran a hand threw his hair and shrugged slightly "It is as you say, all his emotions are raw. They are pure and raw like a vampire who has just been turned. No control over anything, your mind feels like it's a separate part of your body"

You sound like you speak from experience

"I do, trust me I do" he held his head back and then flicked his fingers thoughtfully "Tomorrow, I'll go to the Institute and see if I can get him to speak" he looked at Jem "You best go back, I don't want you getting in trouble" Magnus could've swore he felt a chuckle and then smiled up at Jem, nodding and hold his hand out

"When I see you again, I shall inform you"

Thank you

"It's my pleasure" Magnus watched the Silent Brother leave, he felt different. He was going to get William Owen Herondale to speak whether he liked it or not.

Will's POV

Will loved waking up at dawn, the hazy mist that hang over the London landscape, the silence of the city and the breaking of the sun. The beauty always captured him. He stood on the Institute, just observing the view thoughtfully. He closed his eyes, drawing his head back, he was about to step away to start his walk but then stopped

"If you've come to talk, dear Jessie, I wouldn't bother. I'm going on a walk today"

"I wouldn't if I were you"

"Yes, there are several things though you would not do if you were me, for example I doubt you would visit a brothel"

"If Tessa hears you speaking like that she'll have your tongue"

"Tessa is tucked up safely in our bed, and I do not plan on disturbing that pleasant slumber"

"Magnus is coming today"

"To check on Jamie? He's been suffering a slight cough recently, Tessa is worried about him"
"William, did I ever tell you that your lies never worked on me?" Will looked at her stiffly

"I'm not lying, he has a cough"

"But Magnus isn't coming to check it"

"Maybe he is, there is stuff you don't know"

"He personally spoke with me about this matter, William, I think I know what he's coming to talk about" Will looked at her bitterly and sighed

"And pray, do tell me what the high esteemed Magnus Bane is coming to speak to me about?"

"You know fine well" Will looked at the voice and smiled at Magnus, almost irritably

"Speak of the devil, or can we say look what the cat dragged in since you have cat eyes?"

"You're on fine form this morning"

"Dawn tends to awaken my soul in many ways" Magnus rolled his eyes and pointed to the small park "We aren't talking in the institute"

"We aren't?"

"No, we are going to talk in the park" Will looked at Magnus, he took a breath and nodded, reluctantly following the warlock to the park.

Magnus produced a picnic mat and sat down under the grand oak tree, he pointed with his fingers

"Sit"

"No"

"Unless you want me to magically strip you and make you sit down by force, I suggest you sit" Will scratched his neck and then sat down

"Good, now. A friend of yours visited me last night, he was in quite a state"

"A friend? I don't believe I have many of those"

"Surprising I know, this one went by the name of Brother Zachariah, know him?" Wills head shot round to look at the warlock, his eyes blazing

"What did he say?"

"He said he didn't know what to do with you, that he had never felt so hopeless" Will tightened his jaw and looked away from Magnus

"You remember what it was like, to feel powerless whilst your parabati died? Well this is what Jem feels like, he knows you're slipping away from him and that he can stop it but you won't let him" Magnus moved so he was looking eye to eye with Will "Will, we can help you. Please, let us in and talk to us" Will moved away again and rubbed his face "Magnus, it's not that easy"

"It is, Will"

"There's so much, I-I don't know where to start"

"It was your mother's death that triggered this, you could maybe start there?" Will rubbed his face

"She was a lovely mother, she always sat and sang us lullabies when we were upset or couldn't sleep. She was so kind too, a mothers touch. She never hurt us when she brushed our hair" Magnus nodded gently "She got sad too, she sometimes sat and cried in the drawing room. I didn't know why, but father always sat and comforted her. My parents, they were so in love, Magnus, they loved each dearly. But my father, he gambled. And sometimes if he lost a bet, he would come home angry and drunk and would strike out at me" Will felt a lump form in his throat and looked away. Words were getting harder to say, his throat was clogging up and he hated himself for it. Magnus watched him carefully, he gently touched Wills arm "Will, you're doing well"

"When mother died, I realised everything I had lost. I realised I had pushed her away for so many years, she missed me so much but I refused to see her because I thought the curse was real"

"You were just a child, Will"

"I just…" his words couldn't form and he shook his head. So many walls were crumbling down around him. He was forcing himself not to cry

"I don't want to talk anymore"

"Will, you've been doing so well. Please, talk to me" Magnus whispered gently

"I-I need to go see Tessa" Magnus studied him carefully and then nodded gently

"Alright, if you go see Tessa, I want you back here tomorrow" Will nodded, extending his hand

"Thank you"
"Your welcome" Will stood up and nodded before making his way back to the Institute. Tessa was standing at the head of the steps, his Tessa. His sweet, beautiful Tessa who looked so elegant. He walked up to her and took her hand in his and gently kissed it, bowing slightly

"I am so sorry" he whispered, Tessa wrapped her arms around him and held onto him

"Will, you've nothing to be sorry about"

"I've done so much wrong"

"You haven't, you've been brilliant" she drew back to look at him. She kissed his forehead and hugged him again, burying her face in his shoulder

"Y-you scared me, I thought I had lost you" Will felt tears spilling onto his shirt and quickly stood up closer so he was hugging her tighter

"Tessa, no matter what. I will never leave you" he looked back and cupped her cheek and tilted her head up slightly "I made a vow never to leave you, and I stay true to that vow. I will never leave you" Tessa let out a slight sob and covered her mouth quickly, Will pulled her close again

"Ssh, darling don't cry" he whispered, he kissed her temple and held her. They stood like that for some time, Will holding Tessa as she cried into his shirt. Will rubbed her back and constantly murmured how he wouldn't leave her and he was back now and she was safe. Those days of his recklessness and carelessness were gone. His blue eyes had softened now and there were crinkles around his eyes from laughing now. He had promised Tessa he would be everything she deserved and now, Tessa realised something. He had met that promise, but he was also more. He was more than she deserved, but she couldn't help but fall in love with him every day. Together, she thought, they could mend the brokenness that was in their heart.
