Clockwork Prince (The Infernal Devices, #2)

by Cassandra Clare

“Whatever happens with the lessons—might I see you again?”

If Gideon Is actully bad and hurts sophie i'll fling myself off a cliff

“Dear Charlotte,” he said. “You have always been like the best sort of older sister I could have hoped for. You do know that, don’t you?”

Charlotte just looked at him, openmouthed. It sounded so much like a good-bye, she could not bear to reply.

She loved Jem, as she loved Will—as she could not help loving them all—and the thought of losing him shattered her heart.

Psst Will she loves you and she is fine

He had been missing a great many meals lately, and if he was truthful with himself, there was only one reason for it: He was avoiding Tessa.

He wanted to know the taste of her skin and the smell of her hair. He wanted to make her laugh. He wanted to sit and listen to her talk about books until his ears fell off.

Tessa had come walking up the hill to him and had sat down beside him. I love you, he had said to her, and kissed her, as if it were the most natural thing in the world. Do you love me?

She had smiled at him. You will always come first in my heart, she had said. Tell me this is not a dream, he had whispered to her as she’d put her arms around him,

“You swore to stay with me,” he said. “When we made our oath, as parabatai. Our souls are knit. We are one person, James.”

Will knew he sounded like a child, but he could not help it. “A covenant that says you must not go where I cannot come with you.”

Im SO SAD

“Well, what? Sophie—” “I hit her on the head with a mirror,” Sophie said hopelessly. “One of those silver-backed ones, so it was quite heavy. She went down just like a stone, miss. So I . . . I tied her to the bed and I came looking for you.”

OPPPPPP JFC SOPH LMAO shes making her rounds walking everybody down

“Yes,” Tessa said, “and do stop repeating it.” “I think I may be in love with you, Sophie,” said Will. “Marriage could be on the cards.” Sophie whimpered.

HAaahhaah

even though you are the perfect picture of Jessamine, I can see Tessa through it somehow—as if, if I were to scrape away a layer of paint, there would be my Tessa underneath.”

MY tessa :'(

“You have a younger sister of your own,” she said. “So what exactly did you do to Gabriel’s sister to make him hate you so?” He straightened. “Are you serious?”

I got up beside her and commenced reading from Tatiana’s diary.” “Oh, Will—you didn’t!”

HAahaahaaaha this man is a menace

Tessa looked at him steadily. “I am not the one who has no heart.”

Tessa let up off his neck, he’s hurting

But that her brother comes, like a blight On my fresh hope, to the Hall to-night.

“There is powerful magic at work here. Something stronger than a glamour. A true ward. Someone very much does not want us to know what is happening here tonight.”

LEts talk abut how this is a lightwood party so he secretly invites jessamine with Nate excited to see her (so that itself tells me a lot if hes associating with Nate) and NOW it wreaks of powerful witchcraft and the house has an actua ward around it to keep the party hidden…ive been saying since book 1 that lightwood is sketchy asf

catching a glimpse, she thought, of the face beneath the hood. She thought she had seen something very like a cluster of red eyes in the center of a dark oval, like the eyes of a spider.

Where Does Clare get these nightmarish ideas

Torches burning with a greenish flame—not witchlight—ran up the sides of the stairs.

Hm

she thought of Boadicea, who Will had told her was “braver than any man.” It’s just a ball, Tessa, she told herself, and reached for the knob. Just a party.

Hey me? Yeah personally i would peace tf out

It was rude to dance more than a few dances in a row with the same gentleman.

its so wild how it wasnt that long ago that this shit was ppls lives lmao

Instead a wash of noise and music and light struck her like a wave.

Do they know i feel like theyre expecting her

The fabric was figured with all manner of patterns, woven in gold; the same shimmering, shifting patterns that had hurt Tessa’s eyes downstairs.

ifrits,

WHy ist my kindle telling me what this is...its not like i havent seen this word before in witchcraft i just forgot what it is, i think like a troll or something. EDIT: nope its an Islamic demon

They were clearly uncorseted,

The SCANDAL

Creatures that looked like great dogs roamed among the guests, their yellow eyes wide and watchful.

Not good because what that sniffer do

Nate chuckled. “What is it, Jess? You look as if you’ve seen a ghost.”

This mofucker knows

“I—a sudden fear came over me, that you would not be here,” she said.

Lets try acting a lil more like jessie babes

“Lightwood should lay himself out to impress the Magister more often.”

Are we not shocked because I feel like y’all should be

“Sophie can sew,” Tessa said automatically, and could have slapped herself. “Passably,”

Tessa u dumb bitch

“It is true that your connection to the Nephilim of the Institute has been invaluable. Without you we would never have known they were going to York,

GASP thats why she wants to help so bad lately

“You must be Tessa Gray,” said a soft voice at her elbow. “You look just like your mother.”

TF

“There’s a very good-looking boy staring over here,” she said. “As handsome as a faerie lord! I should leave you to your business.”

Oh thats how will can see tessa

The ice-cold sides felt good against the heat of her skin. She took a sip; despite everything, it was delicious.

Why would you drink it

“I’ve told you, she isn’t my sister.” Nate’s voice was clipped.

He literally just called her his sister two lines ago???

“I just—I don’t know what happened. That’s never happened to me before, losing the Change without

Prob the fking lemonade ur dumb ass was drinking

They’re married, did you know that? Nate and Jessamine. Married. Nate was never the marrying sort. And he doesn’t love her. I can tell.

What we left tho

“There’s nothing to be sorry about,” he said. “You were brilliant in there, Tessa. Not a step out of place.”

Yes fantastic, NOW YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF THERE LIKE what is we doing

I could see your face as he was speaking to you, and I wanted to kill him for breaking your heart.” You broke my heart, she wanted to say.

:(

She took a step forward—and stumbled into Will, who caught her. She froze—and then her arms crept around him, her fingers lacing themselves behind his neck.

Characters hugging is so underrated like you can get me with that every time. Like Aelin and Rowan in QoS um yes please

he gathered her hair in his hands, draping it over one of her shoulders, winding her curls between his fingers. “My Tessa,” he said,

aHHHH

He drew her gloves off, and they joined her mask and Jessie’s pins on the stone floor of the balcony. He pulled off his own mask next and cast it aside,

YALL YOU NEED YOU LEAVE B4 YOU GET CAUGHT WHAT ARE WE DOING keep doing this SOMEWHERE ELSE THX

outlined the shape of her mouth as if he meant to commit it to memory. The gesture made her heart spin

I’m stressed they're gonna get caught

warm hand covered her bare collarbone.

Hottttt

how the Main had carved a path of fire through the water, trailing sparks in its wake. It was as if Will’s hands did the same to her skin. She burned where he touched her,

following the curves of her breasts. Tessa gasped, even as his hands slid to grip her waist and draw her toward him,

My tummy dropped, these are crumbs at the point and I’m okay with it

have wanted to do this,” he said, “every moment of every hour of every day that I have been with you since the day I met you. But you know that. You must know. Don’t you?”

WILLIAM OMGGGG I CANT BREATHE

This was deliberate and unhurried, as if he were speaking to her silently, saying with the brush of his lips on hers what he could not say in words.

Perhaps we should be hurried tho

She wanted him closer to her so badly, it was like an ache, a painful hot ache that spread out from her stomach to speed her heart and knot her hands in his hair and set her skin to burning.

Bruh was there something in that lemonade bcccc
