Hey! Chapter 3! I just wanted to say that you may not see some scenes in this story, I am just writing scenes were I feel need to wrote for the story. If you want all of the scenes read the book. Enjoy!

Tessa PoV:

They had to eat diner by witchlight. Tessa sat by Will. Everyone was almost done when she asked were Lily was. Will and Jem frowned but continued eating. Will finally answered. "That darn automaton that was in the house cut her. She passed out from blood lose." Everyone went back to eating.

Charlotte, who had been eating on the end of the table facing the door, gasped. "Lily, what are you doing?" Will and Jem's heads shot up. There stood Lily, in the door frame, with bandages wrapped around her slim arms. Tessa saw a few black marks peeking out from under them.

Lily walked in and sat by Will. "I woke and heard you all eating so I decided to join you. I think every sixteen year-old has the right to eat with her family." Everyone quickly except it, but she didn't eat. Tessa noticed that Will, who had been talking to her, dismissed her to talk to Lily.

She knew there was something between them, but somehow Tessa didn't seem to care. Tessa wanted Will and that was that. Somehow, someway, Will Herondale would be hers. She turned her attention to Jem. Maybe if Tessa got closer to Jem, Will might take notice.

He didn't. She sighed helplessly. "Charlotte, may I be excused?" Lily, who had asked, looked to Charlotte. She nodded and Lily quickly paced to the stairs. Tessa tried to strike up a conversation with Will but he looked at the stair case longingly. "Charlotte?" He asked. Charlotte shook her head. "No, Will, I need you and Jem to come along with Tessa and I to see Lady Belcourt."

Tessa listened to him argue but Charlotte won. The group walked down a corridor and Charlotte taught her about vampires. Tessa took notice that Will said something about a disease called Demon pox. When they all arrived at the end of the hall, Will told Charlotte he's going to his room, but she stopped him and Tessa turned back to the door and walked in to the female vampire who was waiting for her.

If you want the meeting with Camille, read the book. Tessa PoV after the meeting:

Tessa laid in her bed staring up at the ceiling. She had studied Will throughout the day and only found that he was more handsome as time went by. She was desperately in love with him. The only thing that stood in her way of getting Will was Lily Carstairs. Tessa turned over. "I swear, one day William Herondale will be mine and I will do whatever it takes to get him."

Lily PoV, after the meeting with Camille:

I had just sent Sophie away to get me some tea when I heard a knock. I climbed out of bed, slipped my robe on, and walked quickly to the door. "Sophie, that was awfully…Oh, Will. It's you. I was expecting Sophie with my tea." Will sat on my bed and narrowed his eyes. "For your headache?"

I frowned. "Yes. I don't see why you're so worried. It's just the seasons changing." Will frowned. "Yes, Lily, but does this happen every year? No." He answered his own question. I sighed in defeat. "Fine. If it gets any worse, I'll tell Charlotte. Will, I honestly don't see why you're so worried about me."

He came over and put his hands on my shoulders. "Lily, listen, I worry about you, so I don't lose you." I laughed softly and looked down. "Really?" I looked up and meet his eyes. He wrapped his arms around my waist and mine go to his neck and we stand there in each other's arms until I hear the door open.

We sprang away from each other and I felt heat rise in my cheeks. Sophie didn't say a word, but only sat the tea on the dresser and gave me a soft smile. There were two tea cups on the tray. Will and I fixed ourselves tea and I swept the covers down and crawled under, enveloped in the warmth. Will took off his shoes and jacket and joined me. I slipped off my robe and put it on one of the posters. We drank our tea and Will read aloud.

"Lily, you and I are going with Tessa to de Quincey's party as human subjugate. We need to look plain. The party is this Saturday and Magnus Bane will be there." I stare at Will. "Will, The Magnus Bane?" Will smiled. "The Magnus Bane." We went on talking about him and the party and everything and soon, I had my head on his chest listing to the beat of his heart. I fell asleep quickly to the sound of his voice reading a book.

Will, Jem, and I were in the library helping Tessa practice. She wasn't a very convincing vampire. My trio had set up a camp at one of the long tables at the back of the room. We all were sitting on top and were instructing Tessa. I was busing eating an apple, Will was polishing one and Jem simply watched Tessa.

Will frowned at her. "Camille walks like a delicately. Like a faun, not like a duck." Tessa glared at him. "I do not walk like a duck." Jem smiled. "I like ducks. Especially the ones in Hyde Park." He cast Will a side long glance. I smiled.

My brother went on. "Remember, Will, when you tried to convince me to feed a pie to them to see if you could breed a race of cannibal ducks?" Will frowned. "They ate it, too. They're bloodthirsty little beast. I say you should never trust a duck."

Tessa sighed impatiently. "Do you mind? If you are not going to help me you all might as well leave." Will smiled and said in a playful tone. "Your tone is most unladylike." Tessa gave him an odd look that gave me a bad feeling.

Then Tessa cut herself on her fangs. "Leave it be." Jem warned. Will slid off the table and grabbed my waist and helped me down. Tessa studied her tooth. "I don't understand what makes them come out." Jem tilted his head. "Hunger. Were you thinking about blood?"

Tessa shook her head. "No." Will smirked. "Were you thinking about eating me?" She shook her head. "No!"

I put a hand on her shoulder. "No one would blame you if you wanted to. He is very annoying. In fact, I think about killing him on a regular schedule." Will laughed. "Yeah, sure you do." He wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me towards him. Jem asked about thoughts. Will's smirk became more pronounced. "Well, hopefully you can break through before tomorrow night. Or I wouldn't say much about our chances."

Jem gave him a look. "Will, don't say that." Will shook his head. "You're right. I'm underestimating my skills as well as Lily's. Should Tessa make a mess of things, I'm sure Lils and I will be able to fight our way out of vampire masses to freedom." Jem ignored him and went on talking to Tessa as Will and I discussed plans on escaping.

Then I heard something that made me stiffen. Jem had asked if Tessa could turn into our father. I turned around with an alarmed look on my face. I thought of what that would mean…and besides, I was not too keen on Tessa changing, I had fell out of the chair when she showed us "James, I don't think-" I broke off as the sound of the door opening. I grabbed Will's arm. "The Enclave."

We all hid behind a bookshelf and watched as they paraded in. Then I saw the Lightwood man, then Gabriel Lightwood. I heard Jem mutter something to Will. "Gabriel Lightwood, what's he doing here? I thought he was in Idris." I looked up. "William Herondale, please don't start a fight. Not here. That is all I ask." Will smirked. "Rather a lot to ask, don't you think?" He said it without looking down at me. We listened for a little while longer but then we were caught. We instructed Tessa to Change back to herself and we stepped out.

Charlotte gave Will and I a disapproving look. "Will and Lily. I told you two that the Enclave meeting was at four o'clock." Will smirked. "Yes, we must have forgot." I smiled. "Yes, how dreadful." Will glanced at brown haired Gabriel. "'Lo Gabriel."

Gabriel looked over us. "William. James. Aren't you both too young to be participating in Enclave activities? I know Lillian is. Only sixteen." I narrowed my eyes and crossed my arms over my chest. "Well, aren't you too young, as well?" He smirked at me. "I turned eighteen in June. I have a right to be here, Lillian Carstairs."

The other members took notice to Tessa and I continued to glare at Gabriel, who in turn smirked at me. Soon Gabriel sat forward in his chair. "Mrs. Branwell, are they or are they not too young to participate in this meeting?" Charlotte nodded. "Yes, you four go wait in the corridor." I took Will's arm and we left to room after I gave the Lightworm a final glare. "I will show you out." Gabriel said. Will's face tightened and Jem gave him a warning look. He came over and looked at Will. "You are a disgrace to Shadowhunters."

Will leaned against the wall and I into him. Will looked at Gabriel with his blue eyes. "Really, after your father-" Gabriel shut the door and snarled. "I will thank you NOT to speak of my family." Will replied. "How unfortunate that the prospect of your gratitude is not a tempting on."

Gabriel looked confused. Jem stepped in. "He doesn't want your thanks." Gabriel glared at Will. "If you weren't underage, Herondale, it would be monomachia for us. I would chop you to pieces-" Jem interrupted. "Stop it, Gabriel. Goading Will into single combat-that's like punishing a dog after you've tormented it into biting you."

Will shifted off the wall and dropped my arm. I stood up to my full height. Will spoke. "Much obliged, James. I appreciate that testament." Jem shrugged. "It is the truth." Gabriel shot Jem a glare. "Stay out of this. This doesn't concern you." Jem and I moved closer to the door, to Will, who had his eyes fixed on Gabriel's. Jem replied quickly. "If it concerns Will, it concerns me."

Gabriel shook his head. "You are a good Shadowhunter, James, and a gentleman. You have your…disability, but now one blames you. But this-"he pointed to Will. "This filth will drag you down. He has already made your sister a disgrace to every female Shadowhunter. After what my sister said she saw them doing at the last party, it's a wonder you haven't disowned her." I gasped at what he said. Will looked like he was about to say something but Gabriel continued. "And no one expects William Herondale to live past nineteen and I will be glad to see him go."

Tessa started to go at Gabriel and soon all of us were. Gabriel said something about being dropped into a vat of poison. I stepped up. "Really, because I think I know a chap who could sell us a vat of-"

Mr. Lightwood appeared. "Gabriel, do you plan to attend this meeting or play out here with the children?" He cast me a disgusted glance. Gabriel cast a haughty look at us and turned around and left

Our small group went to the stairs. Tessa looked at Will and I. "What was he talking about?" I exhaled, frustrated. Will's jaw tightened. Jem was the one who answered Tessa. "His sister supposedly caught Lily and Will in a closet in a very intimate moment. But it is not true. Lily wasn't even at the last party. She wasn't feeling well. No one believes Lily, though. The Lightwoods are a wealthy family, everyone believes every word they say."

Will nodded. "Yes, I almost broke Gabriel arms again when he and his sister announced publicly what they had supposedly saw. No shadowhunter has ever looked at Lily the same. Didn't you see how some Enclave members cast Lily dirty looks?" Tessa nodded. "Yes. But I thought it was because we had interrupted the meeting." I shook my head. "No, that wasn't why. You see, Tatianna Lightwood also said that the year before she had caught me with another boy. A Morgenstern I had never even heard of before." Tessa shook her head. "I'm sorry." I shrugged. "I can handle it."

We spied on them from upstairs. I leaned into Will as the meeting went on. I thought of what all those people thought of me. The enclave talked on about de Quincey and the vampires and the Magister. Henry busted into our room and Will and I fell back as the object in his hand almost hit us. "Get that blasted object away from me!" Will yelled.

"Hell, I'm sorry. I was looking for the library." Henry said. We told him and he went to leave. "Wait, what are you four doing in here anyways?" The four of us shared a glance before I stood. "We were playing a game. No need to worry, Henry. You better get down to the meeting." He nodded and left the room. I sighed in relief.

We watched as Henry arrived and the meeting conclude, almost. "Henry, we wanted to discuss something with you." One of the men said. Charlotte leaned back in her chair as Henry told the man to go on. It was Benedict Lightwood who spoke this time.

"Our problem is with that wretched Carstairs girl. She does not belong in this society. After what my daughter says she caught Miss. Carstairs doing, we feel as if she should be punished." Charlotte spoke then. "Punished how? And how do you know that Tatianna isn't lying?" Mr. Lightwood scoffed. "She would never lie. Besides. We all have our views on Lilian Carstairs we would like you two to hear."

I leaned forward. This was now about me. Me, Lilian Carstairs. One by one each member said their peace about me.

Benedict went first. "Miss. Carstairs is Nephilim trash." Gabriel was next. "She doesn't belong. She is a horrid girl!" Each person said something worst that the last. "Lilian is trash…She is wretched…She needs to be kicked out of the Institute…No one thinks she is worthy of the title Nephilim…She should just die."

I started to sob. This is what people thought of me. This was what I was seen as…trash. Tears ran down my face. Charlotte started to defend me, but I didn't hear what she said, for I was sobbing too loudly. I started to hiccup with the sobs. My vision was clouded and I could hardly see. A pair of arms pulled me into a strong chest.

Will. "Tessa, I think you should leave." Jem told her quietly. I heard Tessa leave after patting my shoulder. Jem made the floor go back to normal and moved over to Will and I. My brother stroked my hair and put and arm around my back. "Lily, don't listen to a word." I pulled back from the boys and wiped my eyes. "I have to. It's all around me. Is that really how people see me? That I'm so horrible I should just DIE!"

More tears came and I didn't stop the boys when they pulled me back to them. I sobbed and cried. "What are you three doing?" Will pulled me up and I saw Charlotte standing by the door. "Henry told me you were up here…Oh, Lily. What's the matter, dear?" I couldn't answer her. Will did. "We heard. She heard everything they said about her."

Charlotte gasped and pulled me into her arms. She kissed my hair as if I was her daughter. "Dear, don't listen to them. Cheer up, they didn't mean it." A sob came out through my lips. "Yes, they did mean it, Charlotte." She pulled back and held my face between her hands. "Lily, you listen to me. You are a great person. Don't let anyone tell you any different." I nodded and gulped. She dried my eyes. She patted my cheek. "I dealt with them, don't you worry. Why don't you go back to the room and I'll get Sophie to bring you a nice cup of tea."

I nodded and sniffled. She told Jem she need to talk to him so he left. It was just Will and I. I turned the knob the door and began the walk to my room. Will followed close behind. When I got there I went behind the changing screen and undid my laces and pulled on my robe and nightgown. "I think I need a nap."

I told Will, who was sitting on my bed. He simply nodded and started to unbuckle he shoes. I slipped under the covers. Will was there next to me with his arms around me. His hand run up and down my back comforting me. As I slipped away into the world of sleep I thought about that they had said. If that as the way people thought of me, well I would try my hardest NOT to be like that.

Well? How was this chapter? ~ a hunter of artemis here
