Hey guys! I'm really excited about this one. I worked really hard on it and would definately like to know what you think! It's rated M for a reason. There is going to be some wacky junk in this. I would like to thank my Beta - Reader Clockwork Angel. You rock! I'm going to stop rambling now.

Now Presenting:
Prisoner's Silence - Rude Awakenings
I woke up to the sound of my phone ringing.
"Ugh," I moaned as I rolled out of Magnus' grip.
"Please make it stop, Alec," he moaned in return.
I chuckled. He absolutely hated mornings. I grabbed my phone, looking at the ID and seeing Jace's name.
"Hello?" I asked groggily. I didn't know what the hell he wanted, but whatever it was needed to wait until later in the day; I couldn't function so early in the morning.
"Alec, we need you help us respond to a call from Queens. There is a nest of vamps in an abandoned house. They have been abducting mundies and holding them hostage," Jace finished. "We don't know how many there are, and Izzy didn't want to go with just the two of us," he added, whining like a sarcastic teenager.
I looked at the clock on the side table; it read 6:23. You've got to be kidding me. "When are you leaving?" I asked. Magnus popped his head up, his furrowed eyebrows forming a visible question. I held up a finger, signaling that I wanted him to wait a minute. The warlock shrugged and laid his head on my chest and snuggled up to me like a cat.
"We're probably going to leave at noon. We don't want to be there when it's dark," Jace explained.
You've got to be kidding me, again! "We are leaving in five and a half hours, and you decided to wake me up now. It's six thirty in the morning, Jace!" I screamed. Magnus' head popped up again in curiosity. Seeing nothing amiss, he chuckled and laid back down.
"Are you coming or not?" Jace asked, sounding unconcerned.
"I'll come, but if you call, text, or communicate with me in any way before eleven o'clock, I swear on the Angel that I will personally throw you in front of a vampire," I said. I would never do it, but I sounded completely badass.
"I would love to see that," Magnus laughed, not bothering to pick up his head this time.
I laughed and hung up the phone. "I have five and a half hours before I have to go," I said. "Can you make my time here worth it?" I whispered sexily into his ear.
"Hell, yes. I like this new Alec," he responded, winking at me.
o.O.o
I was laying in bed again, with my head against Magnus' chest. I was breathing heavily. Magnus was amazing in bed; if I ever had sex with anyone else - which I didn't plan on - there's no way that it would be anywhere near his level of fucking.
"What are you thinking about?" Magnus asked me.
Oh that was just rich. Might as well answer honestly, but I started blushing, as usual.
"Alec, were you thinking dirty thoughts about me again?" he asked teasingly.
I hit him in the chest playfully. "No, I wasn't thinking that. I was thinking how much I like the things you do to me," I said. I sat up and straddled his hips.
"Holy shit you're hot," he gasped, rocking his hips against mine. I moaned, bending over to kiss him... just as my phone rang.
"I'm going to kill him," we threatened in unison. We both laughed, completely understanding what the other was thinking.
"Go ahead. I know you have to leave me to go do your job," Magnus said, planting a passionate kiss on my mouth. When we finally separated I grabbed my phone.
"What now?" I asked. Jace was really starting to get on my nerves.
"It is two minutes past eleven o'clock. Can you please get your ass over here?" Jace's voice came through the receiver and reached my ear. I could tell he had his customary smirk on his face without even have to see him.
"But I want Alec's sweet ass here," whined Magnus. He had a smirk on his face too.
Angel, what was I going to do with the two of them? Well, I know what I wanted to do with Magnus…
"Magnus, save the dirty talk for later tonight, when we start -"
"Whoa, I don't need to know this!" Jace yelled from the phone. Magnus and I laughed.
"Alright, I'll be there in 20 minutes. Bye," I said.
"You'd better be telling the truth. I really don't want to come over there." Jace released a sigh as he disconnected.
I hung up the phone once again, and Magnus and I shared yet another laugh. I got off of him and started to put my pants on. I didn't have any gear here, so I would have to equip myself once I got there.
Once I was fully dressed, I turned to Magnus. "You aren't going to get dressed?" I asked him.
"No, I want you to come home to me quickly. This is what will be waiting for you." He pulled the blanket away a little bit, revealing his erect cock from beneath the sheet. I automatically blushed.
"I'll make sure to come home soon then," I responded hastily as I ran out the door.
o.O.o
I found my siblings in the weapons room. They were both geared up; the only thing keeping them there was my tardiness.
"Finally. What the hell took you so long?," Jace asked, obviously irritated. He threw some gear at me.
"It's obvious what took him so long. Take a look at his hair," Izzy teased.
My hand anxiously flew to my hair. "What?" I asked.
The both of them just laughed in response.
I went behind a shelf and changed into my gear. "Okay. Let's go," I said, re-entering the room.
o.O.o
Once we got to the house, it was twenty minutes to noon. We broke down the door and went inside. I took my bow off of my shoulder, notching an arrow. Jace took to the front, Izzy positioned herself in the middle, and I took the back, as always. Izzy unwrapped her whip as Jace named his seraph blade. Even though it was daytime outside, the house was quite dark. We started down a staircase, to what I assumed would be a basement. That would be where the vamps were sleeping. We could take them down quickly, get the mundies out, and I could go back to Magnus.
The basement wasn't what I had expected. It was huge, four times the size of the actual house, and there were three doors lined up in a row. I turned to my siblings, completely at a loss as to what my next move should be.
Jace pointed to a door and then at me, doing the same for Izzy and leaving the remaining door for himself. I walked to my designated door, and on his count, opened it.
The room that I entered was completely empty. Wait! I took the glamour down and saw them. Jace and Izzy saw them too. The doors had all lead to one giant room.
The were at least a hundred vampires here, all drinking blood from cocktail glasses. There were cages hanging from the ceiling with dancing figures in them. There was no doubt in my mind that they were human playthings. They were in chains, but were still dancing erotically. Music was pumping and lights flashing. It was a party, and judging from the size of it I would have thought no one had noticed us. But all of a sudden the music stopped and the flashing lights were replaced by bright florescent ones. Many of the vampires groaned, and the humans stopped dancing and looked to the man behind the MC stand.
"What the hell, Raphael?" a male vamp yelled from the crowd. I guess the MC was the infamous Raphael. He was known for his cruelty towards Shadowhunters. This was going to be loads of fun.
"We have visitors, everyone. Please welcome our honored guests," Raphael raised his hand to point to us. "The Lightwood siblings, and Mr. Jace Wayland!" He finished with such enthusiasm that I almost felt like an honorary partygoer instead of an unwanted visitor.
They were on us in a flash. We were completely surrounded. I shot the arrow I had ready, and let fly another fifteen at least, all of them hitting home into a vampire's chest. But it was pointless. I kept fighting though, but one of the bastards came up behind me and tried to sink his teeth into me. I hit him with my bow and knocked him out. While I was occupied with him, I heard my sister scream. I turned my head for a second and one sliced into my side with a hunting knife. The pain was horrible, but I desperately kept fighting.
Izzy was taken out first. They grabbed her by the hair, and hit her a few times in the face before I went to help. I managed to free her for a second, and then got restrained myself. They had her again, and then finally Jace.
All of us were restrained with ropes and turned to face Raphael, who was walking toward us slowly. I looked at my siblings to assess the damage. Jace had a nasty gash on the side of his head. Izzy had a minor shoulder wound, and I was scraped up a little, but with my side bleeding like crazy. I could barely stand up on my own. I definitely suffered the worst from the attack.
"Why have you decided to grace us with your presence, young Shadowhunters?" Raphael asked. He sounded sweet, like he really was interested in why we were here and didn't already know. "Hmm?" he asked. No one answered. "Oh, I guess you all don't feel like talking." He sighed. He was a pretty good actor; he looked genuinely disappointed. "Everyone!" He raised his voice even though he could have been whispering and everyone would still have heard. "They don't want to talk to me. What should I do to make them want to talk?" The question was asked pleasantly, even though he was asking how best to torture us.
The crowd around us erupted into a roar of voices. I made out several suggestions, such as "Drain them dry! "Kill off the blonde!" "Rape the girl!"
I really didn't like the last one. I looked to Izzy and she was pale as a sheet.
"Angel, please don't let them touch her", I begged silently.
Raphael sauntered over to me and punched my gut so hard that I spit up blood. "Wanna talk now?" he asked my siblings. His serene, inviting demeanor was gone. He was a hostile creature now.
I shook my head at them, telling them not to say a word until one of us came up with a plan.
"Oh, that's too bad." He frowned, walked over to Izzy, and backhanded her across the face, busting her lip. He looked to Jace. Jace wasn't budging. Raphael frowned again and pulled out a dagger and put it to Izzy's neck. He looked at me and sliced just a little bit. Just enough to draw a bit of blood. There wasn't an ounce of fear in her eyes. I was so proud of her for being brave, but I was terrified. I made a decision: I was going to get my siblings out of here even if I wasn't able to go with them.
"No, I'll talk. Just leave her alone," I said. My voice came out louder than I thought it would, considering I couldn't even manage to hold myself up.
"Oh, we have a taker!" Rapahel smiled at the crowd, pleasant attitude returning. He grabbed my chin and forced it up so he could see my face. "Why is it you have come here?"
I didn't have anything to say. If I told him that we came here to kill a total of 10 vampires max, then we wouldn't make it out of here. He would just kill us because no one could know about his little party/hide-out. I had to come up with a lie that would put him in danger as well as us. That way he didn't just kill us off. I thought no ideas were going to come when the stupidest thing popped out of my mouth.
"We were sent to put a bomb in this building. We were going to go out, but we came in here as a last minute thought," I said. I hoped he bought it. I'm not a very good liar, but I had to come up with something. He was ready to slit my sister's throat after all.
"Alec!" Jace yelled at me, trying to add to the lie. I suck at lying, and my siblings knew that, but Raphael didn't and neither did the rest of the vampires. I heard whispers from the crowd. They were buying it, but Raphael didn't change his poker face.
"Really?" he gasped dramatically. "And where would this bomb be?" He sounded as if he didn't believe me, but I could see worry creeping into his cold eyes.
"How about this," I said, struggling to stand up straighter. "I'll tell you where it is and when it is going to go off, after you let my siblings go." I gave him a toothy, bloody grin.
"How do I know that you are telling the truth?" Rapahel asked.
Crap. I didn't know how to answer that. "Do you really want to take that chance?" I countered.
Maybe I was wrong. I'm pretty damn good at lying! Magnus would be proud. I'll have to tell him. If I see him after this.
Damn it Lightwood! Don't think like that.
"Fine," he straightened himself, looking at the vampires restraining Jace and Izzy. "Take them upstairs and then outside once it's dark," he ordered. The vamps started to take them away.
"No, you can't do this!" Jace shouted.
"ALEC!" Izzy screamed. She struggled against her captors until they knocked her out.
My siblings were taken through the same doors we entered. I turned back to Raphael. The vampires holding me pushed me down to my knees.
"I really hope you are telling the truth. I don't want to have to kill you," he purred.
Then everything went black.
If you wouldn't mind telling me what you think, that would be lovely. If you guys like it then I will gladly keep posting.
