Jem and Tessa …
Tessa reached to brush the damp hair
from his forehead. He leaned into her touch, his eyes closing. “Jem—have you ever—” She hesitated. “Have you ever thought of ways to prolong your
life that are not a cure for the drug?”
At that his eyelids flew open. “What do you mean?”
She thought of Will, on the floor of the
attic, choking on holy water. “Becoming a vampire. You
would live forever—”
He scrambled upright against the pillows
of the bed. “Tessa,
no. Don’t—you can’t think that way.”
“Is the thought of becoming a Downworlder truly
so horrible to you?”
“Tessa
…” He exhaled slowly.
“I am a Shadowhunter. Nephilim. Like my parents before me. It is the heritage I
claim, just as I claim my mother’s heritage as part of myself. It does not mean
I hate my father. But I honor the gift they gave me, the blood of the Angel,
the trust placed in me, the vows I have taken. Nor, I think, would I make a
very good vampire. [redacted for spoilers] I would no longer be Will’s parabatai, no longer be
welcome in the Institute. No, Tessa. I would rather die and be reborn and see
the sun again, than live to the end of the world without daylight.”
“A Silent Brother, then,” she
said.
His eyes softened slightly. “The path of Silent
Brotherhood is not open to me.”
