Hi! I'm back! So I'm just gonna get on with it…Chapter four, everybody! ENJOY!

Lily PoV:

I was dressed in black. I had a simple black gown on that had a very low neckline that showed off more of my chest than I would have liked. The dress had long sleeves that fell to my wrist. My hands had on black silk gloves. The carriage rattled down the road. Will pulled back the curtain, and studied the sky. "It looks like we are in for rain."

I followed his gaze and saw the usual London. Men rushed up and down the streets in long coats and hats. The sky did have many clouds in it that made it a dark ugly gray color. The usual London feel was about the area as Will put the curtain back in place.

"Is that church in the middle of the street?" Tessa asked. Will shrugged. "It's St. Mary le Strand. And there is a very long story about it, but I'm not going to tell it. Have you been listening to anything Lily and I have said?"

Tessa nodded. "I was until you mentioned rain. Who cares about rain? We're on our way to a vampire party." Tessa went on about how she didn't know how to behave. Will grinned. "Just be careful. You can't look and me or Lily for instructions. We are here for blood-whenever you need it."

"So neither of you are going to speak tonight. At all." I nodded. Will did as well as he spoke. "Not unless you instruct us." Tessa moved her gaze away. "This night might be better than I thought." I paid her no attention. I removed one of my gloves and stuck my dagger up my sleeve. The hilt still stuck out. I covered it with my glove. "Will, do you have my seraph blade?" He nodded and showed me it on the inside of his coat. His was on the other side. He spoke to Tessa about how vampires act.

"Tess, you know you don't have to do this if you don't want to." I jolted. Tess. He had a name for her. I grimaced. "And then what? We turn this carriage around and go home." I saw Tessa's eyes get darker. Will's glazed over. He put his hands out in front of her and she laid her in his. Will smiled. But that smile was weird. I had never ever seen Will smile like that. "All for one and one for all."

I tuned them out, but I watched. His dark blue eyes were still glazed over. "Tessa…" He leaned forward and I coughed. Tessa eyes left his and his eyes cleared. "What…" He began glaring at Tessa who was glaring at me. "WE'RE HERE!" Thomas yelled. Tessa changed into Camille. Will opened the door and he jumped out. He helped Tessa down then me.

I saw Thomas in the driver's seat. His hat was tipped forward and I just saw the glint of the silver pistol at his waist. I turned to the house and was speechless. It was a tall white house with pillars in the front. Tessa jutted her chin out and commanded us to not speak. I followed her beside Will. Our arms dangled at our sides and I took a shaky breath as Tessa walked in. Ever so slightly Will's arm brushed mine.

I dared to dart my eyes over and met his. I could see a reassuring smile in them. We followed Tessa down a hall then stood beside her. I gasped at the beauty of the room. Tessa ordered us to her side and her and Will talked as I looked around for Mr. Bane. "So difficult to train." A man with a French accent came up and struck up a conversation with Tessa. The man was de Quincey. "Good to see you, Lady Belcourt. Was that a new carriage?"

"Indeed." Tessa said. De Quincey glanced swiftly at Will and I. "New subjugates as well." Tessa nodded as de Quincey walked closer to Will. "Such an unusual color, and those eyes." Tessa bowed her head. De Quincey walked to me. "This skin tone. And those dark eyes. The beautiful face, such a prize." He ran his finger along my jaw and tilted my head upwards ever so slightly.

Will's eyes had become full of fear and no doubt mine were too. "There." He found my pulse on my neck. I sucked in a breath. "You wouldn't mind, Camille, if I had a bite…" His fangs appeared and I whimpered just slightly. My eyes shot towards Will. His fingers were inching towards his jacket.

"My darling, no." Tessa caught the vampire's wrist just as his fangs brushed my neck. Will sighed in relief. "We all know how your appetite runs a little wild." I didn't pay attention to the rest of the conversation. I looked to Will. I had just almost died. When he was gone Tessa let out a sigh. "He could have bitten you." Will shook his head. "I would have killed him first."

"Then you would all be dead." A new voice said. I turned and saw a tall man. Magnus Bane. He was in a tall hat, a long coat, trousers, and had a sly smirk on his face. He led us to a private room. I didn't listen. A headache had struck. Will rubbed my back and talked as I closed my eyes blocking out the world. "Magnus, take her out of here." I opened my eyes and my dagger was out. I looked to Will who was by the door. I walked over and took his hand. There would be a fight. We slowly made out and he held the Phosphor aloft. Will and I made it to the other side of the room before she screamed. Tessa screamed. "WILL! DO IT NOW! NOW!" The vampires were in shook. De Quincey turned to us. "Stop those children!" I stepped in front of Will with my seraph blade and dagger. "We are not children. WE ARE NEPHILIM!" Will pressed the button. Sparks flew to the air and a fire started. Vampires charged towards us and I slashed and killed. Dark blood spattered in my mouth and I didn't notice as I swallowed, swallowing vampire blood. Fangs sunk into my neck and I cried out as blood was pulled from me. Will stabbed the man and I went on killing. One bite would not hurt me.

I lunged out at the Vampires stalking towards me. Hundreds. Too many, far too many. I backed up slowly until I was about twenty feet from the wall. The vampires had trapped me in a semi-circle. I let out a cry and ran forward. I swung and would kill. Blood splattered and I was too busy killing to notice that a pint had gone down my throat. I kept my focus and soon only twenty vampires remained. One had bit me again and I had two streaks of blood running down my neck. I growled at the vampires and slowly moved to them. They backed up fearfully into…into the fire. They all died howling in pain as the fire burned them. Then the other two hundred started to come at us. I stood back to back with Will. "Great." I muttered. Will laughed. "Come on, Lily. We've fought bigger numbers than this. Let's do this." I sliced and diced. Vampire blood spewed all over the floor and I danced around the flames as I pushed some into the fire. It was like a dance. Vampires circling me before I would lunge and kill them.

"WILL LOOK OUT!" Tessa cried. I turned just in time to see Will turn and kill another vampire. Then the Enclave arrived. I saw Jem, Charlotte, Henry, everyone dressed in gear. I smiled at Jem. "BETTER LATE THEN NEVER!" I heard Will shout. I laughed. I sheathed my dagger and held my seraph blade out for killing. A sly smile spread over my face. Flames leapt at me but I would push a vampire into them. I skirted around the edge of the main fight and killed stragglers.

One came at me and we began a dance. He leaped at me and I brought my blade down and sliced a cut on the top of his arm. He hissed in response. Adrenaline coursed through my veins, a feeling I loved. The man jumped at me again and I drove my blade upward, into his chest. I drug it down, cutting his chest open. Dead.

Two vampires threw me against a table and I crashed into it and rolled off. Blood poured down from a cut from my face. I crouched down and bared my teeth at the two who had thrown me They ran forward and I grabbed one by the neck, plunged my blade through the others heart, then through the back of the one I held. I was a fighting machine.

We fought on and I had four vampire men circle me. "Pretty little girl." I threw my weapons and killed two. The others slowly paced forward tapping me against the wall. I peeled my lips back over my gritted teeth. I glanced around for a way out. One reached out. "Don't touch my sister!" Jem stabbed the two in the back with his blade and smiled at me. He grabbed my blade from the ground and tossed it through the air. I grabbed my weapons and went back to fighting as the flames moved around us.

I looked back and forth for Will and saw him on the stage. I fought my way towards him. Five vampires followed me and I walked up the stairs. I wanted to help Will but I couldn't. I took my dagger out and threw it into the first vampire's heart. I quickly cut off the heads of the other ones. I climbed to the stage and saw Will bite de Quincey. I groaned, remembering the last time we had fought vampires. Not again. He threw it up on the stage and I gagged. Tessa shot a gun.

It didn't kill. I stood in shock as a sword flew passed my face and into the vampire's back. I ran to the stage and helped Will up. His face was dripping blood. Jem joined us. "Nice throw." Will said, smiling. My brother shook his head. "You bit de Quincey. You fool. He's a vampire. You know what that means." Will shook his head. "I had no choice he was choking me." Jem sighed. "I know. But really, Will. Again?"

Will laughed and my world went sideways. "Um…" I let go of Will. I shook my head. The world spun. I couldn't see anything. White overtook my vision. I saw the world again but it tumbled around, as though it was on a seesaw, or in ship. I saw Jem look at me with concern. "Lily? Are you alright?" His words were muffled, like he was under water, or I was. I tried to say something. I took a step forward and fell. Jem's arms caught me and lowered me to the floor as the world spun. Was I dying? That was my last thought before darkness came over me like a wave.

I woke in to the feeling of my body being jolted. I was in a carriage. I forced my eyelids back and found myself staring at the ceiling of a carriage. My feet were in someone's lap. I tried to sit up but wave of nausea hit. I groaned and rolled off the person's lap into the floor. I sat there and looked around. Will had my arm and was looking at me with concern. Jem was holding my other arm and had a similar look. "What…happened?"

The boys sighed and pulled me off the ground and into the seat beside Jem. He put an arm around my shoulders. My head throbbed as if a hammer was hitting it. "You fainted." I shook my head. Will leaned forward. "It's your headaches, they're getting worse." I frowned. "What was going on with you and Tessa in the carriage?" Will looked confused. "What?" I growled in outrage. "You almost kissed Tessa!" Jem turned to his parabati. "You what?"

"I what?" Will said unison with Jem. I almost said something but the carriage stopped and I almost jumped out. I walked right up the stairs muttering as I went. Someone grabbed my wrist and I spun around. Will stood there. "Lils, please let me explain!" I snatched my wrist away. "DON'T CALL ME THAT!" I slapped him right across his face. I walked down the hall and leaned into the doorway of the library. "Lils?" I swerved around expecting Will but found my brother.

"What?" My voice wavered.

He came closer. "I want to talk to you." I turned away and sat in on of the library's chairs. Jem knelt in front of me. He took out a handkerchief and pressed it to the cut on the right of my neck. It was cool. After the blood had been wiped away on each side, Jem drew a healing rune and the base of the right side of my neck and I instantly felt better. "Thanks." I breathed.

"What went on in the carriage?" Jem asked as he worked on the cut on the side of my face. I looked down. "I…I don't really know." Jem looked confused so I went on. "It was strange. One minute his eyes were clear and he was leaned back against the seat. The next Tessa's were dark and Will's were cloudy and he was leaning towards her and saying weird things. He started leaning in more and was going to kiss her, but we stopped and Will was so confused…I…I…I." Jem stopped me with a hug. My eyes had become wet and I blinked away the tears. "Jem, Will and I, I feel like we've been drifting apart. I…" Jem looked me in the eye. "Lily, don't you ever think that Will doesn't love you. Not for a moment." I nodded. "Maybe it's just all in my head."

Tessa PoV:

She watched with glee as Lily slapped Will. A lovers spat. Tessa had made Will almost kiss her in the carriage. It was all Tessa. She almost laughed until she remembered her brother was behind her almost dead. It was a blur getting Nate to a room and sitting beside him. Her thoughts went elsewhere as her brother got settled. After Nate was asleep, and she was alone, her thoughts wondered. It was only ten. She got up and snuck down. She heard voices from Charlotte's study.

"Lily, why didn't you tell me earlier?" The voice was Charlotte's. "I just thought it was the seasons changing!" Lily defended herself. Tessa kept by the door, not wanted to been seen. "Charlotte, what's wrong with her?" Tessa recognized Jem's soft voice. She heard the head of the Institute sigh. "I don't know, Jem. Lily, when did you start to have these?" The woman questioned. "A month ago." Will's voice filled the air.

"I can speak for myself!" Lily said with annoyance in her tone. "Lily, I'll contact the Silent Brother's tomorrow morning. We'll see what's wrong, then okay?" Charlotte asked. Lily sighed. "Okay." Tessa heard footsteps and quickly hid. Jem and Charlotte exited. Lily and Will's voice's floated out of the door. "Will, why the Brothers? I cannot stand them!" Lily cried. Tessa leaned against the wall and leaned her head back, staring at the ceiling. "Don't worry, Lils. I'll be there."

"Don't call me that!" Lily snapped, with an angry tone to her voice. "I'm still angry with you!" She said. "Lily, if you'll let me explain—" Lily cut Will off. "You're Will Herondale! If you really wanted to talk to me you'd find a way!" Lily snapped back. Tessa could just see Lily's pretty face scowling. Then Tessa's heart stopped as Will said the words she feared he would tell Lily the most. "Lily, I will find a way, because I love you."

There it was. 'I love you.' Tessa's breath caught in her throat. She detached herself from the wall and ran. She ran back to her room. She slammed the door and tried not to think about what Will had said. How dearly she wished he would say those words to her.

Well? How was it? Did I do a good job on the fight scene? TTYL! ~ a hunter of artemis here
