Will walked down the hall towards his bedroom, just realized how exhausted he was. He stopped at Linette's door and put his ear up to it. It was quiet, too quiet. He opened the door and as usual the silencing run but, instead of screaming he only heard crying. She was sitting on the edge of her bed in her nightgown sobbing.

"Lin?"

She looked up in surprise then anger, "Dammit Will, don't you understand? I can't forget about you if you keep showing up!"

Will walked closer to the tearful girl and took her hands. "Don't you understand? I don't want to forget you."

Then they were kissing. Will pushed Linette further on to the bed, holding both hands above her head. He kissed her with all his heart, moving from her lips across her jaw then down her neck. She moaned, "Will."

"Do you want me to stop?"

She just closed her eyes and he began to slide the gown off her shoulder. He got the dress to around her waste when he heard the snap of Linette's fingers. He gasped in surprise as his shirt disappeared.

She giggled, "I've be practicing." He just smiled has he shook his head and continued to kiss her. She picked up her hips and ground them against his, it was his turn to groan as he let go of her hands and moved his to her waist. They were both much more confident in what they were doing then first time. He slid the rest of her dress off her and down her beautiful legs. Only a thin piece of chemise stood between Will and Linette. Her green eyes were no longer filled with tears, but with passion and lust.

Her fingered with the button on his pants, she made a frustrated noise. Again she snapped her fingers and his pants disappeared, leaving him in his black briefs. He cleared his throat as to acknowledge that they were both practically naked.

"Lin, I am not sure we can keep going. I don't have uh, anything." He felt his face heating up at the mention of the one thing that they really needed, protection.

"Will its okay, warlock remember? I can't have children even if I did I would have to be much older like your mother."

"Okay, but are you sure you want to keep going?"

"Wait," Linette snapped her fingers again, locking the door. "There, and this time no surprise visitors."

Will just laughed then went back to kissing, his hands traveled up and down her legs. She groaned again bucking her hips, Will couldn't wait any longer. He untied the silk string that ran across the chemise keeping it closed. He asked with is eyes this time, are you ready? She nodded again and the recaptured Will's mouth.

A final snap freed both of them from their undergarments, "Wǒ ài nǐ Lin, wǒ huì ài nǐ zhídào wǒ sǐ jiāle yīqiān duō nián. (I love you Lin, and I will love you until I die plus a thousand years.)

Linette woke up to a knocking on the door. She stat up in stretched, and only then did she notice Will with the blanket wrapped around his waist. Suddenly, the whole night came rushing back to her. She was so shocked she fell out of bed and landed on her shoulder hard. She heard it pop then screamed in pain. Will sat up instantly and the person in the hall came rushing in, Alec.

Will quickly threw a blanket over Linette, Great she thought seen naked by the consul. Alec looked just as shocked as Will was, "I uh, I will give you two a moment."

Then he quickly left the room beat red. "Shit, Will I was supposed to be in the library waiting for Magnus."

She quickly stood up and tried to throw on her 21st century clothes. She cried out as her shoulder screamed in protest, not wanting to waste anymore time she just gritted her teeth and through on her sweater.

"Would you like me to walk you down there?"

Her heart panged as she heard Will's voice, "No Will, but I think you should leave."

"Lin–"

"No Will, this doesn't change anything."

Thankfully the changing screen was covering her, or he would have seen her teary eyes. She was struggling to keep her voice from shaking. Luckily Will just sighed sadly and left the room.

She walked out of the room holding her shoulder, "That sounded like it hurt."

Linette was startled to find Alec was indeed waiting for her, "Uh yeah, feel like you could help a Lightwood out."

He let out a little chuckle and touched her injury, she hissed as her arm exploded in pain. "Sorry, this is going to hurt, a lot."

"It's okay Consul, I am used to pain."

Alec let go of her arm, "Linette, I am so sorry. How did I not know? I failed as The Consul, I failed as a friend to your mothers."

"Alec it's okay, I don't blame you what happened to me or Jane. If anyone would have suspected that something was wrong, I know you would have been the one leading the investigation. Now if you would please put my shoulder in place, I have a meeting with your husband."

He grabber her at the shoulder and wrist, she groaned in pain. Alec moved his hands in one fast fluid movement, and then there was an explosion of pain in her shoulder. Linette let out a scream, but quickly muffled it by biting down on her open hand. She then felt the familiar burn of the Steele then the pain faded.

"Are you okay?"

Linette caught her breath, "Yes, thank you Alec. I should get going now. Would you mind walking me to the library?"

"Right this way Miss Lightwood."

When they got to the library Magnus and two other warlocks all had their noses in spell book. "Oh good of you to finally show up. What on earth are you wearing?"

"Maybe we should focus less on me and more on the fact that we have less than twelve hours to open a portal to send my friends home. Am I right Magnus?"

The warlock shook his head as if coming out of a trance, "Uh, yes of course. Mr. Lightwood, would you like to stay and watch?"

Linette looked over at Alec whose face was now a deep shade of red. "Sure then I can give the others updates."

"Now Linette, you can have no distractions. The last thing we need is a little silver eyed boy taking your mind off of this spell."

"Don't worry, he won't be coming until the portal is open." Magnus raised his eyebrows but said nothing.

"Okay, so how much experience do you have with magic?"

Linette thought for a moment, "Not much that I had control over. I knocked him on his ass," pointing to Malcolm, "and you on your ass. Other than that just closing doors when I am in control."

"What do you mean in control?"

She took a deep breath, "When I get angry, I uh, loose control. Apparently my eyes turn black and my hair floats. Also, when I'm in my 'demonic state' I've heard I have more power than you."

"Interesting, well we shall try to keep that side of you dormant. Now lets begin." Linette nodded, took a deep breath, and opened the spell book.

This was going to be a long day she thought.

Will walked aimlessly to the training room thinking he would have time to be alone. He got to the door and heard noise from the other side of the door. When he opened it he found Zach panting whilst beating the crap out of a practice dummy.

"Whoa, what did that poor dummy ever do to you?"

He wiped the sweat from his eyes, "What?" He spat, "Don't you have a girlfriend to done over or something?"

"Uh, no she broke up with me last night."

This made Zach fully stop what he was doing and take a long look at Will. "Oh, um I'm sorry."

"Are you? Are you really sorry, because it sure as hell doesn't seem like it!"

A look of hurt crossed Zach's face, "I don't hate Linette. Well I didn't, but now since she broke your heart–"

"Zach." Will warned.

"Well I don't hate her, okay? I was upset because she stole your heart in seconds and I was, I was cast aside like I was nothing. I am nothing."

Will stepped closer to Zach, "Why on earth would you say you are nothing?"

He shrugged, "Because I can't do anything! We are almost eighteen and that's supposed to mean something! You can play the most beautiful music the world has ever heard. Elizabeth is nearly Consul, and my grandparents look at Charlotte like she is the sun and stars."

"You can fight."

"Can I? I am always, ALWAYS compared to my father, who will remain the best fighter for centuries; both of my parents are special. Why can't be?"

Will never knew how much this had bothered him, "Zach, you are a Herondale and, according to my father, Carstairs' will always have your back. Without you, I wouldn't have purpose. You know how many times you have kept me safe? Elizabeth too, and she's three years older than us! Zach you are the leader, the savior, the protector."

Zach looked as if he were about to cry. "It's okay Zach, you can cry. I won't judge."

Zach laughed wiping his eyes, "Funny Carstairs, I'll be the queen of England before you don't judge."

Will laughed as well, "You would make a very ugly Queen."

Zach tackled Will to the ground playfully, "By the Angle! There William Carstairs goes the judger of all! Haha!" They just sat on the ground and laughed. Will was happy to have his brother back.
