Chapter 8

Disclaimer: I own zip . . . Cassandra Clare owns it all (well almost it all)

 

Recap:

Then they heard a knock on the door and Magnus rolled his eyes. "Who is it now," he whined, stamping his foot childishly "the Mayor?"

Alec, who had been sitting quietly and listening, stood up and went to the door. He opened only to be pushed aside by an angry looking Jacob, who stormed into the room, oblivious in his anger to the fact that he wasn't alone with Magnus, but rather in a room full of people.

And then suddenly Jacob transformed! Jacob wasn't a Jacob at all, but rather a Tessa Grey. Turns out Tessa had put her shape shifting skills to good use.

*only quickly-ish edited and short*

Will's stomach did a flip at the sight in front of him. She looked the exact same, well except for her attire. She was dressed in baggy blue pants that Clary had told him were jeans, and a baggy leather jacket. I guess you could also say that her hair was a little longer but in the 18hundreds it was always up in some sort of 'do'.

"Magnus," Tessa started angrily, taking a step closer to the annoyed looking warlock. She opened her mouth to say something but Jem cleared his throat loudly making her realise she was not alone with Magnus.

She shut her mouth quickly and turned around to face Clary, Jace, Jem and lastly, Will. Her anger disappeared momentarily being replaced by shock. She looked between Jem and Will with wide eyes before her face went blank of emotions.

"Hello," she said with a slightly unsteady voice. "I was kinda hoping you wouldn't have been here, but I haaaaaaaad to press my luck." She muttered to herself sarcastically.

Will couldn't help but noticing that the Tessa he knew wouldn't even think about those sarcastic comments, let alone speak them aloud. She would never have worn those clothes, she would wear a gown. She would have etiquette and more manner than she displayed here. He couldn't help but miss the old Tessa. Everything here, in this new world is so different and he was hoping at least one thing hadn't changed.

"Hello Miss Gray," Jem said stepping forward to take Tessa's hand and kiss it. She didn't move, in fact the only thing that changed was that her eyes were staring at him from the corner of her eye, she didn't even move her head in the slightest manner.

Will continued to study her, taking in every detail he could. He saw something flash in her eyes when Jem spoke to her. Something familiar although he couldn't quite put a finger on where he had seen it on her before.

Once Jem stepped away, Will went to greet her but as soon as he shifted his weight forward to move towards her, she took a step back and away from him.

He tried not to let the pang of hurt that flowed through him to show on his face. Why did he feel this way towards her? What was this feeling anyways? He had a feeling that this new found hatred towards him was founding by some in the past or as he called, his future. Now he was very curious as to what was in store when he got back to London and back into his proper era.

Clary silently cleared her throat but stepped forward to address the zombie-looking Tessa.

''Tessa! '' she exclaimed in false enthusiasm, ''We were actually just asking Magnus about where you were . . . he didn't tell us anything of course.''

Tessa looked at Clary, ''Why would you be trying to find me . . . expecially with them,'' She referred to Jem and Will in a tone that showed her fondness of them – or rather lack of fondness for that matter.

It wasn't Clary who responded but it was Magnus. ''Henry, Charlotte, James, Will and Jessamine seem to be stuck in the future after another one of Henry's messed up stupid inventions. We didn't know about this because it was not planned out and was never supposed to happen. You see that's the interesting part about time travel you never know what to expect and some times a mere five minute long visit into the future or past could change the universe as we know it and-''

''Magnus, you're getting off topic,'' Clary warned about Magnus's little rant about traveling through time.

''Sorry I just can't help myself sometimes . . . anyways what I was trying to say was that the parts from the machine Henry had built did not bring the parts into the time they had travelled to so they need to rebuild it. It seems you have a piece of it with you. ''

Tessa looked thoughtful for a moment before saying, ''If I gave you this piece will you get them away from New York and back to where they belong ?"

Will didn't like that Tessa didn't want them there but it was expected, he looked over to Jem who looked as if he were thinking around the same thing.

''Well as soon as we have all the pieces then of course we will send them back before they totally destroy the 21st century.'' Jace said. Will couldn't help but notice how bored he sounded.

''Do you think you have any idea of where the piece may be ?" Clary asked after explaining briefly what it might look like.

''As a matter of fact, Yes, if you will follow me I can show you and bring it to you.''

With that they all walked off following Tessa down the street with the dimming sky and shinning streetlights in the background.

More diologue between Will/Jace coming up maybe some Pandemonium club and Isabelle/Jessamine?
