"Where on earth did that come from?" Will Herondale asked a little frighten at what just occurred.
"I, I, I don't know. It was like something was telling what to say."
Alec huffed a laugh, "Well it sure worked, and I remember Magnus telling me about a fortune teller who told Camille that she would have an untimely death. Believe me it was, she was killed by a 14 year old fledgling."
Will could not contain the shock on his face, "Wow, that's amazing, and what happened to the one who killed her?"
"She was killed by a werewolf during the Dark War for kidnapping Simon."
Linette wanted to ask who Simon was, but the way Alec said his name made her wait.
Will then asked, "So what now?"
"We will use the same plan. Tomorrow nigh we will open the portal. You and everyone else will go trough, but I will stay and I will summon my mother to take me."
"No, no you are coming with us Lin."
Linette just shook her head. She could feel the tears filling her eyes, "No Will, I don't know what I would do if something bad happened to you. Me, my life was over before it began. But you, Will go back home, live your life, and forget about me."
Will was about to protest again, but Linette stopped him.
"If not for yourself do this for me Will. Please, here I shall make it easier for you." With tears streaming down her face, she reached to her neck and removed the necklace. She then took Will's hand and gently set the pendent in his runed hand. She then kissed him on the cheek and rushed out of the Sanctuary.
Will stood there in shock looking at the door hoping Linette would come back into the room, and say she made a mistake. But she didn't, she didn't come back in.
"William?" He heard his father say.
He turned to him and gave him back the necklace, "You and Mom were wrong Dad, I wasn't ready."
He then tried to walk out of the room, but he was stopped when his father grabbed his arm.
"William." Was all he had to say before Will broke down and wrapped his arms around the older shadowhunter. He noticed Alec and Will Herondale leave but he was too upset to care.
"Why? Why did she do that? I thought she loved me."
"Oh William, I know it doesn't seem that way, but she loves you so much. She is willing to end her life to save the one she loves, you." Will still didn't understand why.
"I never told you why I became a Silent Brother, did I?"
Will sniffled then shook his head. "I was dying and Tessa was kidnapped, and I didn't get a chance to say goodbye. Will had gone to rescue her, and Magnus came in and told me that Will said it was okay. It was okay to die,but I wasn't ready. I was 17 years old and in love with Tessa, so I told Magnus called the Silent Brothers. I waited, almost 135 years to be with her."
Will couldn't take it anymore, "Why are you telling me this?"
Jem just sighed, "William, I am telling you because while I waited for the love of my life, I lost my brother, my uncle, my family. I watched one Herondale after another die, and same with the Carstairs. We sacrifice everything for people we love even our own lives. She is just trying to save you from loosing everything."
"It's not fair."
Jem smiled a little, "Don't go sounding like one of those love struck mundanes."
Will laughed and pushed his dad away, but then the sadness hit again. "I will not loose her. No matter what it takes."
