I Told You Before, Jem, That You Would Not Leave Me. And You Are Still With Me. When I Breathe, I Will Think Of You, For Without You I Would Have Been Dead Years Ago. When I Wake Up And When I Sleep, When I Lift Up My Hands To Defend Myself Or When I Lie Down To Die, You Will Be With Me. You Say We Are Born And Born Again. I Say There Is A River That Divides The Dead And The Living. What I Do Know Is That If We Are Born Again, I Will Meet You In Another Life, And If There Is A River, You Will Wait On The Shores For Me To Come To You, So That We Can Cross Together.

If You’re Being Punished,” Clary Said, “then So Am I.

And I Would Do It Again. I Love You, Jace Wayland-herondale-lightwood-whatever You Want To Call Yourself. I Don't Care. I Love You And I Will Always Love You, And Pretending It Could Be Any Other Ways Is Just A Waste Of Time.

I Think There Is Hope For You Yet, Will Herondale. I Will Try To Learn How To Have It, Without You To Show Me. Tessa, Jem Said. She Knows Despair, And Hope As Well. You Can Teach Each Other.

Clary," He Whispered. There Was A Thump, And She Realized He Had Fallen To His Kees By The Side Of Her Bed. She Didn't Move, But Her Body Tightened. His Voice Was A Whisper. "clary, It's Me. It's Me.

Perhaps Not," Said Will, Who Had Ears Like A Bat's. "but I Would Make A Radiant Bride.

Does That Mean You Agree?" He Groaned. "i Think It Means You Crushed My Spirit And Beat Me Down." "fantastic.

Jace Looked As If She Had Slapped Him. "why Are You Determined Not To Believe Us?" "because She Loves You," Said Valentine. Clary Felt The Blood Drain Out Of Her Face.

He Caught Her As If He Were Used To Catching Fainting Girls, As If He Did It Everyday.

Grief Makes You Feel Alone, But You're Not. I Know You Don't Believe In-in Religion-the Same Way I Do, But You Can Believe You're Surrounded By People Who Love You, Can't You?

It Was Like The Calm Just As One Engaged In Battle, Will Thought, When Thought Fled And Inevitability Took Over.

All Right. Are You Going To Come Back? Do You Want Any Soup?" "no," Said Jace. "do You Think Hodge Will Want Any Soup?" "no One Wants Any Soup." "i Want Some Soup," Simon Said. "no, You Don't," Said Jace. "you Just Want To Sleep With Isabelle." Simon Was Appalled. "that Is Not True." "how Flattering," Isabelle Murmured Into The Soup, But She Was Smirking.

Will’s Eyes Met Tessa’s As She Came Closer, Almost Tripping Again Over The Torn Hem Of Her Gown. For A Moment, They Were In Perfect Understanding. Jem Was What They Could Still Look Each Other Straight In The Eye About. On The Topic Of Jem, They Were Both Fierce And Unyielding. Tessa Saw Will’s Hand Tighten On Jem’s Sleeve. “she’s Here,” He Said. Jem’s Eyes Opened Slowly. Tessa Fought To Keep The Look Of Shock From Her Face. His Pupils Were Blown Out, His Irises A Thin Ring Of Silver Around The Black. “ni Shou Shang Le Ma, Quin Ai De?” He Whispered.

At Least Kyle Wasn't Home. That Would Be A Hard One To Explain To His New Roomate. Nobody Liked A Guy Who Kept Blood In The Fridge.

Anyone That Looked Like That Wouldn't Need To Tie Up Girls And Imprison Them In Order To Get Them To Marry Him

Even In Half Demon Hunter Clothes, Clary Thought, He Looked Like The Kind Of Boy Who'd Come Over Your House To Pick You Up For A Date And Be Polite To Your Parents And Nice To Your Pets. Jace On The Other Hand, Looked Like The Kind Of Boy Who'd Come Over Your House And Burn It Down Just For Kicks.

I Really Wish You Hadn't Worn That Sweater,'he Muttered Into Her Ear. 'it's Good Practice For You,' She Replied,her Lips Moving Against His Skin. 'tomorrow,fishnets.' Against Her Side,warm And Familiar,she Felt Him Laugh.

Tessa Exhaled. She Hadn't Realized That She Had Been Holding Her Breath Until That Moment. Will Must Have Heard Her, For He Raised His Head And His Gaze Met Hers Across The Clearing. Something In It Made Her Look Away. Agony Stripped So Raw Was Not Meant For Her Eyes.

"so Don't Bother." "last Time I Left You Alone, A Demon Attacked You," He Pointed Out. "well, I'd Certainly Hate To Interrupt Your Pleasant Night Stroll With My Sudden Death." He Blinked. "there Is A Fine Line Between Sarcasm And Outright Hostility, And You Seem To Have Crossed It.

I Like In Books When We Start The Book And You Really Don't Know How It's Going To Turn Out.

Right Thing To Say

Sometimes," Said Will, "they're Even Supposed To Blow Up.

Tessa Is Gone, And Every Moment She Is Gone Is A Knife Ripping Me Apart From The Inside. She Is Gone, And They Cannot Track Her, And I Have No Idea Where To Go Or What To Do Next, And The Only Person I Can Imagine Speaking My Agony To Is The One Person Who Cannot Know.

"brown Is A Manly Colour," Said Jace And Yanked On A Stray Lock Of Isabelle's Hair With His Free Hand. "in Fact, Look - Alec Is Wearing It." Alec Looked Mournfully Down At His Sweater. "it Was Black," He Said. "but Then It Faded." "you Could Dress It Up With A Sequined Headband," Magnus Suggested.

When I Went To Stay With I’m, He Asked Me For Something Of My Fathers To Make The Tracking Easier. I Gave Him The Morgenstern Ring.

Admiring Yourself?” The Inquisitor’s Voice But Through His Reverie. “you Wont Look So Pretty When The Clave Gets Through With You.” “you Do Seem Obsessed With My Looks.” Jace Turned Away From The Mirror With Some Relief. “could It Be That All This Is Because You‘re Attracted To Me?

Of Course He Loves Me. I’m His Sister.” “blood Isn’t Love,” Said Magnus, And His Voice Was Bitter.

Tessa Had Lain Down Beside Him And Slid Her Arm Beneath His Head, And Put Her Head On His Chest,listening To The Ever-weakening Beat Of His Heart. And In The Shadows They'd Whispered, Reminding Each Other Of The Stories Only They Knew. Of The Girl Who Had Hit Over The Head With A Water Jug The Boy Who Had Come To Rescue Her, And How He Had Fallen In Love With Her In That Instant. Of A Ballroom And A Balcony And The Moon Sailing Like A Ship Untethered Through The Sky. Of The Flutter Of The Wings Of The Clockwork Angel. Of Holy Water And Blood.

She Saw Valentine's Eyes As The Sword Hurtled Toward Her; It Seemed Like Eons, Though It Could Only Have Been A Split Second. She Saw That He Could Stop The Blow If He Wanted. Saw That He Knew It Might Well Strike Her If He Didn't. Saw That He Was Going To Do It Anyway.

I've Never Asked Him But I'm Sure He Has A Fairly Stringent Policy About Random Teenagers Lurking In His Strubbery

Words Were Weapons, His Father Had Taught Him That, And He'd Wanted To Hurt Clary More Than He'd Ever Wanted To Hurt Any Girl. In Fact, He Wasn't Sure He Had Ever Wanted To Hurt A Girl Before. Usually He Just Wanted Them, And Then He Wanted Them To Leave Him Alone.

I'm Not Sure You're Quite Sensible Of The Honor I'm Doing You," Jace Said. "you'll Be The First Mundane Who Has Ever Been Inside The Institute." "probably The Smell Keeps The Rest Of Them Away." - Simon, 133

The Sisters Vanished Entirely Then, And Aunt Harriet Was Standing Over Tessa, Her Face Flushed With Fever As It Had Been During The Terrible Illness That Had Killed Her.
