Looking After You

Chapter 7- Finding Tessa

Chapter 7-Finding Tessa

    2 Weeks Later

    “I have searched everywhere Magnus. Everywhere I thought she could be. I can not find Tessa. And I believe the potion you gave me has worn off.” I explained.

    “The potion will not wear off William. You just feel like it is because no one is looking at you anymore. Everyone was watching you run around like a chicken with his head cut off. That’s why I slipped a little potion in your drink last night. It works like the glamour’s you used when you were a shadowhunter.” Magnus said lightly.

    “What! Magnus, why would you do that?”

    “Because you were starting to look like a crazy mundane. Although it was quite amusing for me, others did not like it.”

    “Oh! I’m sorry Magnus its just that I can’t find her. I miss her terribly. Everything I see or do reminds me of her.”

“Will, how about you try to relax, go to your room and read a little. That should help you calm down a bit.” Magnus was right I should relax and rest, as much as I didn’t want to quit looking for Tessa, I had to take care of myself. I left the workshop where Magnus has stayed for most of the past two weeks. He never leaves, he just sit and mess with the different mechanisms lying around. I left and went straight up to my room. I had been staying in my old room at the Institute since I had nowhere else to go. I came the door of my room and there was a note stuck to it. It read:

Dear William Herondale,

    I am very pleased to inform you that your dearest friend Brother Zachariah stopped by today to see you. He asked that I leave the envelope which is attached to the back of this letter , here for you. He insisted that he could not stay to see you. He informed me that when you were ready to see him that he would know.

                            Sincerely,

                                Aya

I flipped the letter over after reading it, and saw the envelope attached to it. I didn’t want to open it while I was still standing in the hallway. I opened my door and went into my room, and sat down on to the chair that Magnus had moved into the room for me. He asked me if I wanted a bed but I insisted that all I needed was the chair. After I sat down I looked up from the envelope and saw it. The book. The book Tessa wrote. I picked it up to look at it. I had finished the book already and had put it back in the library. So why was it here? I know I put it back in it’s place in the library. I was confused as to who would’ve moved it back. So I opened the book to the first page only to discover…Nothing. You would think that because the book somehow appeared in my room, that there would be a reason for it. It was quite odd I thought, but I didn’t have time to figure out why it was back in my room. I had a letter from Jem to read. So I sat the book facedown on one of the other stacks of books in my room. As I turned back to the chair I saw her. There she was smiling and posing for her picture. I turned back to the book and grabbed it as fast as I possibly could. Underneath her picture was a short passage about the author. I glanced over it quickly when I saw it. Her location is Wales.

“Wales!” I shouted. I felt a shock go through my heart. I knew she loved me but, to go back to where I was from that’s amazing. With that I placed the book in a bag and tossed the bag and the letter over my shoulder. I rushed out of my room and ran down the hallways and out the door to the workshop. I needed to tell Magnus I was leaving. I reached the door, and went to open it when I saw that there was another note. It read:

Gone out for supplies, be back soon.

                    Thanks,

                    Magnus Bane
