Time Switch

Chapter Twenty-Seven

Tessa's POV

I drop A Tale of Two Cities onto my bed and sigh in contentment. I have just finished that marvelous book for what seems like the millionth time. My eyes slide towards the great grandfather clock in the corner of my room. Five past five in the afternoon. Dinner is at six so I still have time to start a new book, I say to myself.

Dragging myself out of bed, I head towards the library.

When I get there, I faintly hear the sound of voices. Peeking from behind the door, I see Jace stuck to the floor and Isabelle being held up to the wall by, Alec?

Something is wrong.

Slowly, I back away from the door and scan the hallway for something I can use for a weapon.

There.

My eyes fall on a sword that is being displayed.

As quietly as I could, I make my way over to the sword and grab it with both hands.

I move back towards the library and push the doors open. Wincing as they creak a bit, I take in what is happening. Alec has Isabelle up against the wall and is quietly talking to her. Jace is exactly were he was before; stuck to the floor and not showing any emotion. He's my best bet, I think to myself.

As quietly as I could, I tiptoe towards him, keeping out of Alec's line of sight. "Jace!" I hiss.

He turns his head and looks around for the cause of the noise. His eyes glance right over me.

"Over here!" I whisper, coming out of my hiding place.

"Tessa?" Jace whispered, showing no emotion whatsoever.

"Yeah, it's me." I whisper back. "Why aren't you doing anything to help?"

"That's not Alec." He whispers, motioning towards the wall where Isabelle is being held. "It's a demon. He stuck me to the floor and made it so I can't show any emotion."

I think about this new information. Then a grin suddenly forms on my face.

"I think I know what to do."

Hey guys,

I hoped you like this chapter! Did you like that I put it in Tessa's POV? Please comment your opinion!

I just wanted to say that I've been losing readers and I don't know why. Is it because I'm not writing as much or as well as I used to?

Remember to like and comment if you liked this chapter!

Thanks for reading.

P.S. I published a new book called The Pairing and it would make me really happy if you could check it out and like and comment your opinions. I'm uploading another chapter when it gets to 100 views, which probably won't happen so I'll update in two weeks.

If you do decide to check it out, I hope you enjoy it!
