Chapter 2 - Risks make life perish
Tessa and Jem were in the car with Jem driving even though she is not sure how a person that has been in the city of bones as a silent brother for the last 300 years can learn how to drive. But Tessa is too happy to ask about that because it's a subject that Jem doesn't like to talk about. She was fingering her jade pendant and her wedding ring; both from the two people she couldn't live without. She was so deep in her thoughts she didn't notice them arrive and Jem open her door. The thing was the scene was so similar to their carriage ride to the silent city. But that was it there friends were dead and Tessa will never see them. Jem will be able to but she's not sure if she could go on with knowing both of her great loves are dead.
"Umm…, Tessa, we are here." Jem said, "Are you okay? You look sad and a million miles away."
"I was just… thinking." Tessa sighed. She knows Jem doesn't believe her but she hates worrying him because he can't hide it, so she feels worst.
"Well Tessa, think later we are going to have fun!" Jem exclaimed happily and him like that is enough to make Tessa laugh.
"Ok, I'm coming." Tessa is starting to get down but Jem tries to help her. She frowns and jumps down. "Jem, I am not weak or fragile, good god, Jem; I am immortal I will not die if you are not a gentleman!"
"But you can die." Jem said suddenly serious.
"And you can, too. But I will not die of getting off the damn car." This was just great, they were already fighting. Tessa had been protective of Jem and like-wise, which ends in a fight about fragileness.
"I know but, Tessa you are too rash." Jem said, "You could hurt yourself."
"If you act like this at the roller-coasters, I am going to hurt you." Tessa said hurt with the lack of trust. But he was right Tessa had put herself in Life or Death situations before. But she was not going to take it and move on. What's life without risks? Not as fun and risks was the reason Jem was still alive.
"Fine let's go." Jem said sounding tired.
