Clockwork Demon (Infernal Devices Fan-fiction)

Chapter 6

/ Will POV /

I walk briskly down the street, thinking about Tessa and hoping she's all right doing all the work. Again. I walk to Woolsey Scott's house, the head of the London werewolf pack, where I know Magnus is staying. I knock and wait for an answer.

"Ahhh Will, so lovely to see you." Magnus greets me at the door. " And to what pleasure do I owe you for visiting today?"

"Nothing really, I just needed to get out of the institute, for my fiancé is planning our wedding with a couple friends." I answer back. Magnus smiles. "Is that so. How is Tessa?. He inquires. "Very good, we are settling in quite well actually." I say.

Magnus ushers me into a seat in front of a roaring fire. It's a little warm out for a fire as big as this one but I don't comment on this. We make small talk and before I know it, the clock chimes 5:00pm. "I think I shall be on my way now, it was nice talking to you Magnus, we ought to do it more often." Magnus agrees and shows me out the door.

I walk towards the institute, taking the road that has shops lined up on it. I round the corner and then I hear it, a scream, not just any scream, it was my Tessa's.
