Clockwork Demon (Infernal Devices Fan-fiction)

Chapter 2

Tessa POV

"There, I've finally moved all of our belongings in." I said wiping sweat from my brow. Walking into the living room where Will was sitting, just twiddling his thumbs. The Herondales left most of the furnishings, but we had to put away our clothes and other personal items.

"I know, it was hard work," said Will, imitating me. "Uh what are you talking about, I did everything, you just sat there like a lump. I said exasperatedly.

"Well we are almost married, so we are a team. And teams take the credit together, so technically because you did the work, then I also did, said Will pointedly. "Will, let me just tell you, that made absolutely NO SENSE!! I snapped and practically screamed. I was starting to get annoyed, I was already tired and my nerves were fraying.

"Ok, I'm sorry I didn't help as much as I probably should have," Will apologized. "Apology excepted." I said. I was starting to feel drained so I collapsed onto couch that had an intricate green pattern on it. I felt my eyelids droop and before I knew it I had fallen asleep.

--- Will POV---

I was looking at how dusty a corner was and that it bugged me; I glanced over at where Tessa had plopped onto a seat. Tessa had fallen asleep. I guess unpacking wore her out. She was cute when she slept, her face all peaceful, her hair cast across her face. I smiled and picked her up bridal style to carry her up to our bedroom that I did not help set up. I feel kind of guilty, now that I've seen what Tessa did and how tired she is after doing everything. I lay her down, kiss her forehead, and leave the room to go scout out our backyard.

I walk outside. The sun is reflecting off of the pond that has reeds ringing the circumference of it. There are large trees that provide shade but won't block out too much sunshine so the plants can't grow. I look under one of the biggest trees and there is a stone bench that faces towards the pond where koi make their home.

Then I see it........
