It is currently 6:20 am, I am on an airplane, I've been up since 4 am, and if this chapter sucks, I apologize.

But, come on, FOUR AM IN THE MORNING! Anyways, if you've gotten to this chapter thanks for reading!

Also, my new laptop came! YAY!

(Note: As I am writing this now, it is no longer six am. Nor am I on an airplane. So yeah...)

Cecily only felt a small twinge of jealousy as Will focused on Clary before his sister, but her jealousy was instantly forgotten as Jem collapsed. She watched Will run to him, but she pulled Clary aside.

"You're bleeding, Miss Clary."

"What?" Clary looked down, surprised to see that her arm had in fact been cut. "Oh."

"Here, I'll give you an iratze." Cecily drew the rune on Clary's arm, and soon all that was left was a pale scar running from her wrist to her elbow.

"Thanks." Clary looked around distractedly, before running off to Will and Jem. Cecily saw Gabriel dragging Gideon up the stairs. She would talk to Will later. She ran over to Gabriel, Gideon, and Sophie. "Here, let me help."

Gabriel smiled gratefully at her before quickly turning to ask Sophie to get bandages.

Gabriel was not quite used to the presence of William Herondale's sister. When Father had spoke of her arrival at the London Institute, he had laughed. He had pictured a girl with little resemblance to Will(he wasn't sure why, but she was hideous in his mind), but had his attitude.

Cecily Herondale was quite the opposite of what he had imagined. At first glance, she looked like her brother: same blue eyes, same raven-black hair that curled when wet, same snarky smile. But her curiosity is what fasinated him. She wanted to know everything; from Demon Pox to what Raziel had spoken to Jonathan Shadowhunter.

She was beautiful too. Her smile made him think of angels, her laugh make him wish he could lean in and kiss her. This was impossible, of course. She was Will's sister. Besides, what would she see in a boy like him? He killed his father, for Raziel's sake! Now his brother could die as well.

"It isn't so bad," Sophie said calmly, bringing Gabriel back to Earth. "He'll be fine. Gabriel, Cecily, take him to his room."

Cecily nodded, and helped Gideon get to his feet. "I can handle it," Gabriel said, not looking her in the eyes. She nodded ad went to assist Brigit with the body of the fallen Shadowhunter, Jessamine Lovelace.

Will stayed in Jem's room until the Silent Brothers kicked him out. When he left the room, he saw Clary waiting for him.

"How is he?" She played with the hem of her dress.

Will sighed. "Not good." He looked over at her. "He's resting. Come, I need to talk to you."

Will wanted to tell her how he felt about her before he left for "Idris". She nodded and followed him to an unused room in the Institute.

"Yes Will?"

It was his turn to be nervous; biting his lip, playing with his hands.

"Clarissa Fray," he began, "From the moment you came crashing into my bedroom, the moment I laid eyes on you, I knew. I wasn't sure until just now, when I saw you fighting for your life. Jem is my brother but all I cared about was you."

He looked over and saw her looking at her feet. "Clary. I love you."

"Will... You cannot mean that. You must not mean that." She shook her head, her red hair billowing across her face.

"I do." With that he pulled her closer to him. "If you do not feel this way, say it."

"I do, Will, I shouldn't, but I do." She leaned up and kissed him.

Gabriel walked up from his confrontation with the Consul to find his brother. He needed advice.

"Gideon?" He asked, knocking on his brother's door. "Are you awake?"

To his surprise, it was Sophie who answered, carrying a small bowl. "He is. I shall leave you two alone."

"Yes brother?" Gideon looked up at him, eyes half closed with exaustion.

"I need your help... It's about Cecily."

Gideon's eyes flew open. "Cecily Herondale? Whatever for?"

Gabriel rolled his eyes. "Because I want to murder her. Why do you think?"

"You fancy her."

"Yes," Gabriel said simply. He sat, hard, on his brother's bed. "He-e-e-e-elp me-e-e-e-e-e-e."

"Okay, okay. Does she know?"

"I highly doubt it."

"Do you think she fancies you?"

"I think Will may be influencing her against that."

"Then get rid of Will."

Gabriel looked at his brother, shocked. Gideon noticed and laughed. "I meant take her somewhere- away from the Institute. Hyde Park perhaps."

"She doesn't seem to hate, or fear, ducks like her brother." Gabriel gave a small smile.

There was a knock on he door. Without waiting for an answer the very Cecily Herondale they had been discussing walked through, her eyes uncertain, playing with her hair. "Gabriel. I need to talk to you. Now."

Sorry if this chapter sucked, I've had a bit of writer's block. Please don't think I didn't care- I did! I'm sorry! Please don't hate me! LOVE ME! Just kidding... Mostly... ;)
