The Infernal Devices: Holy water and blood

Sweet Victory

(Will)

He sat In shock.

"I need to go back!"

"You can't."

Will looked up at him.

"Why not?!"

"Because," Magnus said, "Henry's machine did and did not work. You were sent here, but now there are two of you. One is In the past still, living your life. I cannot send you back."

"How do you know all that?" He demanded.

Magnus said nothing, just pointed at a boy who had just walked through the doorway.

"Who is-" he cut off as a familiar figure stepped through the doorway.

"Tess?" He said.

"WILL!" She yelled in delight then flung her arms around his neck.

He buried his face in her sweet smelling hair. He vaguely noticed that she to was wearing pants before she kissed him.

Her lips were sweet.

She pulled away, but slipped her fingers through his.

"What do you mean Magnus?" she asked.

"He would not exist if Will had truly vanished."

Tessa shut her eyes.

"I remeber." She said in a strange voice, "you saying that Henry had you test out a machine and you felt strange afterwards."

Will shook his head.

"What do you mean? Why are you looking at me like that?!" He addressed Tessa.

"Because you died. In 1937."
