Yeah. Funny :Danyway, back to the story :)
(we can pretend that what you said happened just before he knocked her out. okay :)
Tessa woke up in another room, she was vaguely aware she was strapped to a table. the throbbing her head was growing.
(Sure thing. You appeared to be always online. Anyway,...)'What was that for? I seriously told you the truth.' Tessa said to no one in particular.
Above her was a razor sharp knife.
'Oh well. At 17, it's quite a life already. I'm ready to die.' Tessa said, to herself.
Suddenly, The Demon King arrived. He unstrapped her.
'Ah, Tessa. I'm so glad that you're unscathed.' he said, kneeling in front of Tessa.
'Uh... Yes. Why?' Tessa asked.
She was aware of the hand print on her dad's face.
'Lilith slapped me. And I realised... Tessa. Will you marry me? My heart belongs to you.' her dad said, grabbing at her hand in one hand, and the other hand, took out his HEART!
(Make this story funny! :B I love laughters!)
(Yeah :)Tessa screamed and the demon king laughed, "don't be so melodramatic." He placed his heart back inside his chest. "It's just an illusion."
After catching her breath, Tessa had had enough,"Don't be so Melodramatic! You can't be serious, i thought you killed yourself!"
He laughed again, "But i wasn't joking about the marrying thing. Lilith decided to go after my son, so i though i'd take my daughter. it's fair."
She was shocked, "She's going after Magnus!" She shouted at him, she struggled out of his grip, and although he had the advantage-His illusion must have drained a lot out of him.
she ran to save Magnus.
"you can't run or hide from me" said her dad. But she doesn't know where she is right now. It doesn't matter I have to save Magnus she thought. She heard her fathers laughter. "are you sure you want to go there"he said slyly.
(Loll I love it when you two post together. It always happens with you two!)Since she was in an unknown place and didn't know the way out she ran in which ever way she thought would lead to the exit.
She could now hear Mortmain running after her.
"You can't get away Tessa" he yelled as he finally caught up with her.
"Leave me alone" she cried as he grabbed hold of her arm "and leave my friends alone".
He laughed at her as she struggled against him.
"No I hate those shadowhunters. The demon King and I have plans for those pretty little boys, especially the silvery guy".
Tessa kicked Mortmain in a place she knew would hurt him and he fell back, tears welling up in his eyes and pouring down his face which was now screwed up in pain.
"Don't you dare say a word against them" she warned him, standing over him with her foot about to smash into his face.
Just then Will burst in and looked astonished to see Tessa standing above Mortmain with her foot poised to stomp on his face."Tess!" he gasped. "What are you doing here?!"
"This FREAK came to the Institute, knocked me out, dragged me here, chained me up, and was about to kill me about something Jessamine had me do. That is until my father showed up and asked me to marry him... As you can see it's a long story."
Jem came up behind Will, who looked like he was about to vomit.
"Tessa," he said quietly. "What exactly did you just tell Will?"
"I told him the truth about what just happened to me and he didn't like it."
"What were you about to do to Mortmain?"
Mortmain was trying to crawl away from Tessa, but she stepped on his hand and he fell. Then she knocked his with a well placed kick.
"Not so fun when you're on the other end, is it?" she asked him quietly, menacingly, even though he was unconscious. "He was threatening to kill you and I showed him how much I didn't like that."
Will laughed, "Remind me never to get on your bad side." Tessa looked at him and replied,"Oh dear William, you have always been and will always be on my bad side."She smiled playfully.
Jem meanwhile struggled for composure. "Ummm what do we do now?" he asked.
((lovin the story guys.....keep it funny))
"We have to take him with us," Tessa said with finality. "He's too dangerous otherwise..."Jem shared a look with Will before they went over to Mortmain and picked up together, grunting as they did so.
"Man, he weighs a ton!" Will huffed. "Where is the carriage, Tess?"
"I don't know! It's not like I was awake when he brought me here!" she exclaimed.
Just then Jem realised "hang on, guys, what about the Demon King?"
Just then there was a crash and the wall on their right fell to the ground. and standing there was the demon king.
"Uh... Tess, what's this about?" Will grunted, confused."Yes, do tell!" exclaimed Jem.
"Uh, well, I...." Tessa was cut off by her father.
"I am going to take Tessa as my bride; muhahaha!" said the Demon King.
"why the hell would i marry you?" Tessa asked."I'm not sure actually. You see in theory this all panned out better. Maybe i should have thought it through more thoroughly. Aww Well then, the wedding is off!" he annonced.
((sorry i just couldnt stand it anymore. it was starting to sound like TMI, which pissed me off.))
Both the boys looked shocked, "It's a long story." after looking at Jem's hurt expression, she added, "I was never planning on marrying him. Remember that."
"Oh, ok!" said Will joyfully."So... what now? we don't know where the carriage is and Mortmain must be HEAVY!" asked Tessa
"Yes, he is. Very heavy" Will agreed."C'mon, We don't have time! Just hurry, Will!" Jem Yelled and they ran towards the nearest door. praying it would lead outside.
As Jem fell, he dragged (the unconscious) Mortmain and Will down with him. Creating a dog pile. "Dude!" Will said, looking at Jem underneath him, "what was that?!" "I just tripped, man," Jem replied, "now get off me.." Tessa helped Will up off Jem. As Will dusted himself off, Jem slid out from under Mortmain and then he and Will picked Mortmain up from the ground. "We have to get out of here." Tessa said looking around the front yard of a house.
"There's a carriage." Will said, pointing at a black carriage on the side of the street.
But someone was guarding it. "Will, you ...Knock him out-or something. Tessa and I will wait here and then we can escape."
said Jem."ok, we ALL know who's better at knocking people out, don't we, Tess?" Said Will
"Yeah, right!" Said Tessa
Will walked towards the man guarding the carriage.
And before he could turn around, Will had hit him over the head, and he was now unconscious. "Well, that wasn't too hard." Will pointed out.
They half-carried, Half-dragged Mortmain out to the carriage.
((I love how we've made Tessa more badass, like instead of waiting around for the boys to save her, she's actually doing something herslef! plus I love the humour we've injected into this!)Tessa and Jem sat in the back and made sure Mortmain stayed in place and unconscious while Will sat at the front holding the reins.
"Will, do you actually know how to ride this thing?" asked Jem.
Will gave them a wicked smile and said "I can ride just about anything".
"That said you should hold on to something Tess. I've been known to go a little rough"
Jem made a face that showed his disgust. "Oh please spare us the details" he said in an annoyed tone.
Tessa looked confused. "What details? I don't understand".
Jem patted Tessa on her arm tentatively. "Ignore him Tessa, you're too much of a lady to understand Will's vulgar sense of humour" he said reassuringly.
"oh yeah Tess is a lady alright!" called Will from the front, "a Lady that goes around attacking grown men and assisting in their kidnap in the dead of night!"
Tessa shoud have been annoyed at this but there was a sense of pride and admiration in Will's voice that made her feel strangely happy.
"Lets just go" she said. "Before Mortmain wakes up!"
@Ana: Who? Are you referring to?@Meagin: Like I know right. For the keep it funny post.
@Zarah: Uh... I don't really think Will will ever say pedo. Well, it's funny though... :)
(Btw, Tessa is still wearing Magnus' clothes. Haha. ^^)'Duh.' Will laughed and they started off. At a very, very fast pace.
'Slow! You are going to let me get blown away by the wind. I'm very fragile, you see.' Jem yelled, over the whistling of the wind.
'Ah. I didn't notice before. But, well, now that you mentioned it, you're absolutely right.' Will replied, very much amused.
'Shut up. Both of you. I need to save Magnus.' Tessa snapped.
______________________________________
'Hello, my darling Maggie.' Lilith crooned.
Magnus was shocked and amused.
'Uh... I know I'm a bi, but still, I think at least, I look like a guy. Please. My name is Magnus. Also known as-' Magnus explained.
'The High warlock of Brooklyn.' Lilith continued, rolling her eyes. 'Let me see, you said that at least 10 or more than 10 times already! But, that's one of the trait I admire and love abou you.'
'Oh. And what are the others? I would like to know about my perfect, flawless and beautiful self.' Magnus said, smoothing his hair.
'Really, love? You're the most narcissist person I ever seen and knew. You're evil, stingy, cunning, sly, devil-ish. And the most ugliest creature
EVER!!' Lilith said.
'Oh, darling. I'm so flattered. Let's married. Shall we? I think I hate you more.' Magnus said, his green eyes shining.
(Magnus is the High Warlock of Brooklyn alr? Are we merging the ID Magnus with the MI one? o.O)Magnus tried his best to keep up the act. Lilith was crazy, he thought. All he had to do was flatter her and bide his time; She was bound to let her guard down and Magnus would be waiting.
Magnus began to gather his magic. Gather and manipulate as much magic he possessed and stored it in his being. It took a lot energy out of him and since he already had little to spare in the beginning, he felt ready to drop dead any second. Willpower and pride was his only support in this. Very soon, he would falter, he knew, and if that happened - Magnus didn't even want to think of what would happen next. He urged his magic to accumulate at a faster rate, all the time hoping Lilith was oblivious to his stalling.
"So, Magnus," Lilith said. "Tell me more about yourself.""Well," Magnus said, exhaustion hinting at his voice. "Im very good looking. I... Wow, thats all I can think of."
"so why won't you tell me about you lilith"asked Magnus.he needed a distraction,but before Lilith could even speak,Will,Jem,and Tessa came out of nowhere.
Lilith gasped. "Shadowhunters!! Magnus, do you know these people?""Umm. Yes, I do. This is my half sister, Tessa and her friends," you could hear the question in his voice when he said "friends". "Will Herondale and Jem Carstairs."
Lilith was about to start screaming, Tessa could tell, so she threw a rock that she found on the ground and knocked her out.
Will looked impressed. "That's two people now Tess. And all in one night!"
-- Im not complaining. But don't you think it would be a bit more accurate if instead of just barging into the place, we had a bit of a back story to HOW they found him? Its not like Magnus texted them or anything, so how would Tessa and them know where he was? I just found it a bit weird that they would just barge into the scene without any explanation of how they found him. Just saying, :) --
Tessa felt her face flush with pride. As she walked over to help Magnus, he asked. "How did you find me?" Tessa opened her mouth to speak, but Jem beat her to it. "Tessa said she felt this pull towards you. So she gave us directions to this house." Magnus brought his attention back on Tessa, who stopped in front of him to watch his reaction. Magnus just smiled. "Well, you found me." Tessa smiled back at him, and before she could stop herself, hugged him. Magnus hesitated for a second before hugging her back."Eer," Will said. "I don't mean to wreck this family moment, but what do we do about 'ugly' over there?" Tessa released Magnus and turned around to see Will looking down at Lilith, who was still unconscious.
(Nice story about how they found him, Sarah.)"I don't know..." Tessa looked down on Lilith, her eyes filled with barely controlled hatred. "Do you think hat we could just dump her in the Thames?"
"As much I would enjoy that, I don't think that that would be our best option. I mean, she's going to wake up sometime." Will pointed out.
"How about this?" Magnus asked, as he summoned a demon proof cage.
"Perfect!" Tessa exclaimed. "She can't get out, but how are we going to take her with us? We kind of have to, right?"
Magnus looked at her," no, i could just put her in some kind of sound proof, demon proof warehouse for a few millenia," he smiled,"its up to you, Theresa, my savior.""As much as I love the flattery Magnus, call me Tessa, and as for Lilith," Tessa looked right in his eyes,"lock the bitch up."
((so freaking funny, lets keep the action, humor, and badass Tess going guys))
"Alright-y then." Magnus snapped his fingers and there was a bang as the door of the cage banged shut. "There we go. One locked up Lilith."Tessa looked exhausted, but they weren't done yet. "What are we going to do about Mortmain?" she asked, finally remembering the man they had left, tied up in case he woke up, out in the carriage.
"Why don't we just dump him in the Thames?" Will asked.
"I don't think that that would be our best option, right now." Tessa said thoughtfully. "What if we just lock him up like we did Lilith?"
"I hate to refuse you now, after you just saved my life, but I don't think I have enough magic in me tonight to conjure up another cage." Magnus was loathe to admit weakness, but he knew the price for overdrawing your magic. Death.
"Oh, that's OK." Tessa said. "Why don't we just keep him captive until you have enough magic and imprison him them? I would love to have an excuse to keep knocking him out, I have a lot of paying back to do for all the times he's knocked me out."
Will smiled, "That's my Tess." Tessa blushed again and Jem didn't look to happy.
"Well, Where's the carriage?" Magnus asked, "You brought a carriage, didn't you?"
Tessa nodded, "Yes, its out the back-but first." She gestured to the clothes she was wearing, "Could you do something about that?"
Magnus nodded, it woudn't take much out of him. He clicked his fingers and A dress appeared at Tessa's feet "Thank you."
(Very funny. At her feet. She's not wearing it. :/)
They arrived back at the institute to find the lights were all turned off and a faint wisp of black smoke was blowing all around it. A solitary shadowy figure stood in the mist, alone and unmoving."Wait here and make sure he doesn't get up" said Will to Tessa and Magnus before he left them to investigate.
Jem jumped out of the carriage after Will, they used their witchlights to navigate their way through the unnatural darkness that had fallen all around the institute.
"I hope the others are safe" said Tessa, throwing Magnus an anxious look.
"Do you feel as if your magic has returned to its full capacity yet?" she asked.
The warlock shot blue sparks out of his fingers, "almost".
"Good." said Tessa looking out into the night "we might need it".
They climbed out of the carriage and up the steps to the front door of the institute "wait" Tessa said and ran back down to the street picked up a rock that she was able to hold without to much difficulty "What are you doing?" Will asked "are you going to try knocking one of us out?" "No" Tessa sputtered indignant "I have it so that way I can easily knock some one out, genius" Tessa shot back at Will. Will gave a laugh and Tessa said "I didn't say it couldnt be you" and strolled through the door that Jem was holding open after she past Jem turned to Will and laughed out loud and followed Tessa through the door.

(Anyway back to the story :)
They were going to take shifts in looking after Mortmain. Jem insisted he take the first one. Tessa went back to her room to change into the dress that Magnus had given to her and she was going to go to sleep straight afterwards.
(Wait wait wait, wth happened to the shadowy figure?! The wisp of black smoke? O.O)
(What???)
(A few posts back:"They arrived back at the institute to find the lights were all turned off and a faint wisp of black smoke was blowing all around it. A solitary shadowy figure stood in the mist, alone and unmoving.")
Hmmmm, I have no idea...sorry, if i messed something up...
Meanwhile Will decided he was bored so he went looking for some fun....((sorry guys i thought Will needed a break))
He walked towards the kitchen and heard a crash. He rushed through the doors only to find a drunken Henry on the floor with a bottle of rum. "HEY WILL!" Henry slurred. "WAZZZUPPP?!" Will laughed and helped Henry up. "Wants s-some?" Henry handed the bottle to Will, and Will took a shot. After a couple more shots, Will was done. He was drunk and happy.
"What's in this stuff anyway" asked Will, examining the bottle suspiciously.Henry's eyes lit up,"My newest invention!" he said proudly.
"Really?" said Will, holding the bottle upside down to show he'd drunk it all.
"What does it do then?" Will asked curiously.
"you know,I don't remembe ''said henry. Will went to see Tessa but don't know why cause he forget. He kissed her on the lips in front of jem . "so Tessa how are you"he slurred. Then kissed her again then turned to jem ." soooo jem how are you also'' Will asked. Jem was stunned,and lost of words until he found his voice.
"William, have been drinking one of Henry's inventions again?" Jem asked, knowing that that was probably the case."Wha-," was all Will could get out before he collapsed in a heap on Tessa's floor.
"Great!" Tessa exclaimed. "I think it's obvious that lately Will just doesn't want me to get enough sleep ever! Because now I'm going to have to help you lug him back to his room! Can you just turn around, please, James?"
Jem complied and Tessa stalked behind the dressing screen and changed out of her nightgown, into the dress that she had been wearing earlier.
"Are you decent?" Jem asked quietly.
"Yes." she replied curtly.
"Why exactly did you gave to change out of your nightgown to help me get Will back to his room?"
"Because we're going to have to wake him up before we move him, it takes about 10 minutes to get to Will's room from mine, and about 5 for the vomiting to set in after someone's been drinking." Tessa said tiredly.
"How do you know so much about caring for drunk people?" Jem looked slightly confused because of her knowledge.
"My brother was a drunkard and I spent many nights and days nursing him back to health after he was at a bar." she didn't look to happy about having to talk about her brother.
She walked to her nightstand and brought out a few vials.
"What are those?" Jem looked concerned.
"Smelling salts. This is what you do to wake someone up after they've fainted." she was inspecting the labels, when she found the one she wanted and held it under Will's nose.
"Just inahle it" she instructed Will who was now semi conscious. He opened his eyes drowsily to find that he was in Tessa's room, with Tessa peering down at him cautiously. He stretched a hand to her face.
"Is this a dream?..Am I in Heaven?!" he asked deliriously, "Oh look Jem's here too!" he said excitedly.
"Good. He's awake" said Jem, helping him up.
"Where are you taking me" said Will, slurring his words slightly.
"To your own room" answered Tessa.
"Really?! I get my own room in heaven?" He asked.Jem sighed, "Just don't throw up on the carpet."
"So I do have my own room in Heaven? Sweet." Will paused before adding, "Is there a chocolate fountain inside? I want a chocolate fountain. Chocolate is brown. I like brown. Brown is a nice colour..."Tessa rolled her eyes.
"By the Angel, he's delirious again," Jem huffed, a little concerned about the wellbeing of his parabatai.
Together, Jem and Tessa tried to support Will, managing to catch him when he swayed to the side and nearly fell.
Will was as slack as a puppet. His legs didn't seem to function, tripping over themselves when they did. It made lugging Will to his room that much more tedious. Painstakingly slow, the trio made their way towards Will's room.
"Is it just me or are we housing a pack of floating squirrels? Why hasn't anyone told me about this?" Will hollered as he reached down to give Church a heavy pat. Church yowled and, in retaliation, bit down on Will's outstretched hand.
Will cursed before yelling at the cat, "DIE, VAMPIRE! HOW DARE YOU BITE ME!!" With that, Will hiccuped a little and drew his foot back, preparing to deliver a vicious kick. Only the combined strength of Jem and Tessa withheld Will from doing so. Church gave an annoyed hiss and sprang into another room.
"We'd better get Will to his room quick before he decides to attack something else because it was staring at him wrong. Otherwise we'd have a lot of broken furniture to deal with." Tessa said.
And then, Henry entered the hallway. He was in a very similar state of high.
"Look over there, Charlotte." He said to an empty space next to him. He was pointing at a wall. "Isn't it pretty?" He said in awe."Oh, Goodness!" Tessa exclaimed.
"Henry!!! My Buddy, come over here!" Will drawled
"Hey..William!" Henry Yelled
