Clockwork Prince
discussion
Let's start a story, using one paragraph each!
He shook the memory away, as much as he loved the both of them he couldn't bare to see them together. No! Will thought furiously, Jem deserves her.
But, still. Tessa had not out right rejected him...No, no, If he thought like that he might decive himself like that demon had so long ago. He turned his face into the frigid wind, letting the air burn his eyes. He no longer knew if the tears stinging his cheeks were from seeing Tessa with Jem or from the harse weather. He angrily wiped the salty water from his cheeks. Weak, he thought.
His chest tightened and his eyes scrunched shut. It was all he could see; her. The brave and scared look she had when he first met her, the glow of her smile when she finally found her brother, the tears in her eyes when Will had pushed her away. But another image penetrated his mind too - Jem. His parabatai. His brother. Clenching his teeth Will forced himself to think of Cecily.
What was his sister even doing here?
Speak of the devil. "You've become quite good at hiding you emotions." Cecily said in low voice, standing next to him. "Still, you can't hide them from your own blood." she finished in an all knowing tone. "What are you talking about Cesi?" Will asked annoyed employing a nickname he hadn't used in years. "You might be able to fool all of them. But I can see your heart break every time you look at 'her'." Cecily said, discreetly gesturing towards Tessa. "You have no idea what you are talking about." Will said turning away. "I know exactly what I am talking about." defied Cecily. "But for the life of me, I can't understand why are you letting this happen if you have such strong feelings for her. If you are such a coward to admit how you feel. Then I suppose it is up to me to right the wrong that is happening.” As she moved to go back to the room, Will grabbed her by the elbow and turned her towards him. “You will do no such thing.” Will seethed. “This matter is of no concern to you. I forbid you to meddle. You should not even be here. Why ‘are’ you here?” Will let her go with questioning eyes. Cecily looked at him and simply gave him a mischievous smile. “You had your own reasons and secrets for leaving of all us brother dear. I have my own. And to quote your own aptly applied words. That matter is of no concern to you.” With that she turned around and left. Leaving Will with more questions than answers.
Jem smiled at Tessa, Marrying her was more than an impossible dream, now, now it was reality.
A thought struck him where's Will he wondered aloud. "I don't know," Tessa said with worry in her voice she was still replaying what he had told her over and over in her head.
Tessa looked up at Jem and saw all the love in his expression as she could have dreamed of, she loved Jem and nothing would change that.
She kept thinking this thought ,though she knew she would always love Will too. Should we go and find him? "No need"Will said. "thought I'd come in and see what was going on." For a moment his eyes locked with Tessa's and something strong passed between them.
But Tessa looked away, breaking the connection. It's not right, she thought to herself. I love Jem and nothing should change that. Will, in return, smiled weakly, but felt a pang of sadness. Suddenly, he remembered what his sister had said. Would she really do such a thing? Was it time for him to finally admit his feelings to Tessa? No. He shook his head slightly, remembering the fact that Jem and Tessa were to be married, and that confessing to Tessa would be wrong; it would hurt Jem the most, and he didn't want that. He was his parabatai, his brother, and his best friend. His feelings for Tessa-no matter how deep, shouldn't destroy their relationship. He had to keep it to himself, but he found it harder and harder to do so seeing Tessa's smile, the sparkle in her eyes, the gentle curve of her lips-it was too much.
Tessa couldn't bare to see Will for a moment longer, "I am tired," she said, quietly. "I'm going to bed."
"Goodnight" she said smiling at Jem and walking away, she didn't even dare glance in Will's direction. Will watched her leave, wishing he could run up to her and tell her....what exactly could he say to her? Suddenly he felt guilt, Tessa was Jem's fiance. He couldn't have her, no matter how much he wished he could."Will?"
Will jumped and turned around to meet Jem's questioning gaze. For a moment he had the absurd thought that Jem heard his thoughts, and was worried it was written all over his face.
"Yes James" Will said, glad his voice came out normally.
"Why are you wearing your coat indoors?" Jem asked.
Suddenly, Will remembered what he had to do tonight.
"I have a date with Six Finger Nigel" he said. And before Jem could question him further, Will was out the door in a rush.
He, of course, was not meeting with Six Fingered Nigel.He was going to attempt to find Magnus Bane, a feat which was bound to be more difficult, considering that he no longer knew where the warlock lived. It had been a desicion made quickly, probably rashly (certainly rashly, he simply refused to admit it to himself), and with unknown purpose.
He pushed both of his hands deep into his pockets and sighed sharply, a bitter and soundless laugh. He directed his step to the left, running one hand briefly through his dark hair before replacing it in his pocket. Of course he knew his purpose. He had seen that fairy woman at Benedict's party with Tessa, and though Tessa had seemed to find her rather helpless on information as to what Tessa was, Will saw her as a possible lead. If there was one thing he could do for her now, he determined that helping her to understand who she was would be it.
And perhaps Magnus knew a thing or two about fairies.
The young shadowhunter briskly walked onto the street Magnus used to live in and sighed. The house once occupied by the warlock now had dark windows and an unkempt front garden, it was clear there was no one living in it anymore.Despite this, Will still frequnted the area often in the desperate hope that one day Magnus would turn up. He leaned on the wall oppposite the abandoned house and waited.
Will noticed this particular evening the street was unusually quiet until a shadowy figure crossed the road and walked slowly towards him. He swiftly drew his seraph blade, preparing himself for whatever it was.
It was Magnus. Will almost dropped his seraph blade. "Magnus?" He asked, "Yeah?" He replied naturally. Wow, what a coincidence.
"what are yo doing here William? Is there any other Demon try to course you?" Magnus asked "If it's so,Then I hope this time will be more exciting"
Daemon black xoxoxo
(Who is Daemon Black?)"What? No!" he sat down on the cement. "I actually have to ask you something. If You loved someone but they were already getting married to someone else and you were say, like, parabati or something. an well, you didn't want to break his heart...or hers, but you had to tell her just in case there would be a chance for both of you. oh, and let's say you had an annoying sister, too. how do you deal with her and..." He buried his face in his hands. "Looks like you have a problem with life, Will Herondale." He nodded, "I've said too much, eh?" Magnus nodded. "C'mon, it's raining out here, I'll show you to my new house." he said and without letting Will catch up to him, started walking.
"Well, this is my beautiful home"Magnus said "excuse the mess, I had been away from a century ago" Will sat down on an old coach that Magnus clean with magic "Do you want a limonade?" Magnus asked but Will refused it "Ok,well if I understood,Tessa is getting married with Jem if i'm not mistaken and you Have a sister am i right?" he asked
Will sighed, "You pick up information fast." He commented, "I have my sources," Magnus smiled, "Now what to do with them."
"You could have them clean the house,"Suggested Will, eyeing the thick layer of dust carpeting everything but the couch. "I don't think Albaster would enjoy such a task in particular,"Magnus huffed. Will smiled wryly,"Why not?" Magnus returned with the Limonade, and sat down on the couch beside Will. " Albaster is a 2inch tall pixie who is well known for poisoning people who give him jobs he doesn't like, not to mention what a waste of talent that would be. Now about your problem.." A large ringing noise, like a small peeling bell erupted from a mirror mounted on the wall. With a sigh, Magnus walked over to the mirror and tapped it's surface."I'm present,"he told the face peering out of the mirror.
"Good." The face said. "Magnus, are you...alone?"Magnus looked around the room, "See for yourself."
The Faces' eyes searched the room and when they sought Wills face, they brightened. "William Herondale." It said.
"Will," He corrected.
The face nodded, "Well, Magnus........

Magnus looked around the room, "See for yourself."
The Faces' eyes searched the room and when they sought Wills face, they brightened. "William H..."
"Now hold up. Magnus, who is this?"protested Will, gesturing at the almost featureless pale face watching them coolly through the mirror. "How does it know my name?"Please tell you don't walk around with my portrait telling everybody who I am!" Magnus glared at Will. "This is Mirror,"Magnus said stiffly, "he is one of my informants." Will stood up angrily,"If his name is Mirror then my name is Shadowhunter." After a pause he added,"Which it's not." Magnus sighed,"It wouldn't matter if it was. Mirror is not any Mirror. He is The Mirror!"

Will walked out of the room and waited for Magnus to finish talking to 'The Mirror'.
((guys I'm confused. Magnus told Will to confess to Tessa and then Will went to see Tessa and she was kissing Jem but then how did Magnus get there with the Mirror?))
((I have NO idea...))
(ok Will wanted to talk to him alone first)so Magnus put the mirror back.Will couldn't hold it any longer."do you think I should be with Tessa"asked Will."that depends,do you love her''said Magnus but he already new the answer."I do but jem also loves her,and plus they are getting married"reply Will sadly."I think you should go to Tessa right now and tell her your feelings"said Magnus."alright I will be right back soon to look at that weird mirror''said Will.so Will ran off to see Tessa,but when he got there she was kissing Jem.. (ok is that better?)
(Yep! thanks for clarifying it :))Will's heart sunk as he saw his parabatai looking at Tessa as if she were the sole reason for his existence, there was no way he would interrupt them, especially since Tessa was the one kissing Jem. He ducked out of the doorway feeling wholly dejected and hurried towards his room before anyone could see him looking upset.
Just as he neared his door a dark haired girl ran into him.
"Cecily!" hissed Will, "Please watch where you're going!"
even though his parabatai and the love of his life kind of left him he atleast had cecily his wonderful beautiful sister who looked so much like him. but cecily answered,"i was just uhhhh looking for umm so um are u gonna play with jem who probably is in his room right which is where?""why do you want to know where jem's room is? besides he is too busy snogging tess i mean tessa." said will bitterly.
"um out of curiousity will, did you have a thing going on with tessa before it seems like your upset at this marriage. but hey look i am there for you if you want open up to me in i am there for you" replied cecily as she gently placed a warm hand on will's bulky shoulder
"no time to explain''said Cecily.she was breathing harshly.she looked like a mess. "what is happening"said Will.he knew something isn't right. "there has been a kidnap"whispered Cecily. "who'' said Will although he already knew the answer.
Before Cecily could answer, the magister magicaly appeared. Before Will could even react, the Magister threw a dagger at him. The dagger pierced into Will's heart and killed him instantly. Cecily, having had no shadow hunter training, just stared as the Magister walked away.
((WHAT!! Guys you can't kill Will, he's our protagnist! there's no story without him!!))
ppl were saying he would become silent brother Z in tmi. I was trying to push the story in that direction. i don't really want him to die!
no not yet, don't let him die yet,cause too soon
(Why did you steer us in this direction? Oh well, i'll fix it.)Will woke up, startled Cecily was sitting next to his bed and he jumped up in fright when he saw her and she stood up to calm him.
"It's okay, you just passed out when you were talking to me." she saw Will's blank expression and added, "You were quite pale, are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine. Can you please leave?"
She nodded and walked out of the room.
(There we go. all good again :)
(Thanks for making it a dream Alexia!)But before she left, she turned to look at him with a worried expression on her face.
"Will, you passed out earlier on but I don't know why. You didn't take anything did you?"
"Take what?" asked Will rubbing his eyes.
"Like Jem's yin fen in order to forget about Tessa and Jem kissing?" she asked.
"No Cecily I am not a drug addict ok. I was simply tired and how do you know about them kissing?" he said wearily as he got up from the bed.
"I have my resources"she said mysteriously. "um,Cecily can you get Tessa for me because I have to tell her something" Will said. "sure just take it easy"said Cecily. A moment later Tessa was by his side. "I heard what happen are you ok"said Tessa. She really looked worried, thought Will. "um Tessa there is something really important I need to tell you"said Will,remembering his conversation with Magnus.

Will stared out over the grey skies. The wind was cold and brisk, biting into his face and hands, but he didn't mind it: he far prefered to be out here on the balcony, in the freezing temperatures and drizzling rain, than inside the Institute, watching his Parabatai and the love of his life fawning over each other, holding hands with secret smiles.
