Clockwork Princess Snippet: Will & Magnus


As promised when each of her boys goes up for a round in the YA Crush Tourney, Cassie will be posting a snippet. As promised, yesterday Cassie posted a Clockwork Princess snippet of Will and Magnus, in honor of Magnus's round that he won this past week. 


“If Jem dies, I cannot be with Tessa,” said Will. “Because it will be as if I were waiting for him to die, or took some joy in his death, if it let me have her. And I will not be that person. I will not profit from his death. So he must live.” He lowered his arm, his sleeve bloody. “It is the only way any of this can ever mean anything. Otherwise it is only —”

“Pointless, needless suffering and pain? I don’t suppose it would help if I told you that was the way life is. The good suffer, the evil flourish, and all that is mortal passes away,” Magnus said.

“I want more than that,” said Will. “You made me want more than that. You showed me I was only ever cursed because I had chosen to believe myself so. You told me there was possibility, meaning. And now you would turn your back on what you created.”

*sigh* Oh Will....
