*Tessa Gray on the side* (emilia clarke)

----------

            Tessa gasped as she sprung awake that morning. She frantically looked around, praying and hoping that the 2 people she has been non-stop wishing for to appear were in her room in the New York apartment she owned, but as always there was only herself. She sighed and lied back down and looked out the window to her right where she could see the New York morning rush below. That's the 5th night in a row, she thought. Tessa had been having nightmares, and this was the fifth time she had shocked herself awake, drenched in sweat, heart pounding fast and inhaling deep breathes of air as if she can't seem to take in enough; as if she was lacking in oxygen. Both Will and Jem were in her nightmares. It always started with Jem, and it gradually turned to Will towards the end. And it was the same nightmare every time. She shuddered as she vaguely remembered the nightmare, and quickly sprang back up and out of bed to go to her bathroom.

            She turned the faucet on and splashed her face with cold water, which helped snap her out of her post-nightmare daze. She glanced up at herself in the mirror atop the sink.

"Its been 2 centuries, Tessa. Stop it" She sharply said to herself, then exited her bathroom and crossed her small living room and to her closet to get dressed.

Tessa briefly looked at her clock and saw that Magnus would be here in 10 minutes, and hurried herself in picking her clothes. Her immortality has been her greatest burden, with only Magnus to have as a constant friend around, Tessa learned alot about being independant and doing things for herself. She had watched the world change before her eyes, lived through many wars, worked for various jobs, and learned a lot of life lessons in that time period of 2 centuries; but she was still Tessa, and still had forever to live. She still looked like what she did 200 years ago, but instead of being hidden in a bunch of skirts and corsets with a mile's length of lace and frills, she wore light denim skinny jeans and a simple loose white top.

            She had heard a rumour in a downworlder pub back in London about Magnus Bane being in New York helping out a group of Shadowhunters there. Tessa was well informed of all that has happened so far in the past couple years. This evil Shadowhunter called Valentine wished to create a new breed of Shadowhunters to overthrow the Clave and live amongst demons or something. Her dear friend Magnus had been, and still is, greatly involved in it though she was not sure why. For a couple years she merely avoided all these catastrophic events, she realized now that was because if she got involved, it was likely she was going to grow close to more people, and she's going to see more loved ones die. Tessa realized she was being quite selfish, and that her talent might be of use to help stop this Valentine guy. So she moved to New York, and has been here for around 3 weeks now.

            Tessa glanced at the clock on her bedside table, Magnus was picking her up in 5 minutes now and taking her to the New York institute where a group of young shadowhunters are planning to stop Valentine. Tessa was nervous, she hasn't had much interaction with shadowhunters ever since Will had passed away and she moved from the institute to live a solo life travelling the world.

            A knock came on her door and Tessa tensed up a bit. 5 minutes passed a lot quicker than she thought. She hastily walked to her front door and opened it widely, and was greeted by a familiar shimmering-eyeliner-wearing warlock with a big smile on his face. Tessa couldn't help it, a smile grew on her face as well as she threw herself on Magnus in a huge embrace. The last time they had seen each other was a couple months ago in Idris, and it was just a brief conversation.
