Clockwork Demon (Infernal Devices Fan-fiction)

Chapter 13

/ Will POV /

After hours of getting jostled on hard wooden benches by bumpy roads, we finally arrive at our manor. Charlie opens the door and I jump out to help Tessa out. She steps out daintily and Charlie goes to get our luggage.

Tessa grabs her bag and I grab mine. We are greeted at the door by Delia. Tessa plops her bag down and says, "I thought my arm would come off my bag was sooooo heavy." I could see right through her actions.

"Tessa that was the worst over exaggeration ever! I think we know what job we can rule out for you, an actor." I say with a grin. Tessa smacks me on the arm.

"That is not a nice thing to say to your soon to be wife." Tessa says, "One day you will admit I am the best actor you have ever known! And I will prove that you were wrong" Tessa vowed.

I chuckle to myself, like that would actually happen, me wrong? Not possible. The Herondale genes in me would make sure of that. I don't say anything to Tessa I just stoop down to get our bags.

/ Tessa POV /

I just told Will I would prove him wrong. Will answers my statement with silence, so I take that as a challenge. William Herondale, you are going down.

He takes are bags to our room. I follow to help unpack because knowing Will, he'll dump the bags and not do anything about them. Sure enough the bags are at the foot of our bed and Will is off to the side glaring out the window. I notice he is staring at the ducks, probably thinking of ways to eliminate them. I know telling him it's a lost cause is useless. Will can be very stubborn, but as am I, so I'm not one to judge.

I unpack and put our things away.

"Will I was wondering if you would like to take a walk with me to investigate our land?" I ask. Will nods not taking his eyes off of his dreaded ducks. I pull him away from the window telling him to leave the innocent ducks alone. He rolls his eyes saying nothing is innocent about ducks.

We walk hand in hand through the lush, green grass. Will has a serene smile on his face as we stroll on the winding path through the willow trees by the pond. "I can't believe this is all ours." I say in awe. Will nods and smiles in response. Nothing can ruin our lives. It's perfect........
