Chapter 1: Capturing Magnus Bane
To the mundanes in the outside world, it appeared to be one of those parties that punk rockers would throw as an excuse to do drugs and to rebel against the world they knew. When in fact, the old warehouse was filled with the roaring of demons. Demons of all shapes and sizes roamed the grounds of the warehouse; some were chewing on some old bones they found hidden in the corner.
A table had been placed in the centre of the room with two figures in chairs sat opposite each other. One male, one female.
"Look Lilith, I've had enough of this! Just tell me where my father is already." The man shouted across the table.
"I've already told you quite clearly that I can not do that, Magnus," said Lilith, the mother of all warlocks.
The man, now identified as Magnus, stood up out of his seat in an annoyed manner. "Fine, I'm just wasting my time here talking to Valentines little pet"
"Watch your tongue, Magnus Bane. My demons are hungry you know" Lilith snapped her fingers and every demon in the room turned to face Magnus with eyes that craved the taste of warm flesh. However, this did not faze the high warlock of Brooklyn.
"Your little minions do not scare me, Lilith" Magnus attempted to stare directly into her eyes to show that he was not scared but this proved rather difficult as Lilith had long black snakes for eyes.
This enraged Lilith, as someone of a lower status than her was looking down upon her. She was getting ready to strike when the large double doors of the warehouse flung open to reveal a pair of Shadowhunters.
Before the lesser demons could escape or fight back, one of the Shadowhunters attacked, killing about half of them while the other pinned Magnus down so he could not use his magic. Lilith called the remaining demons back and they disappeared through a portal, leaving Magnus behind to suffer the wrath of the two very angry Shadowhunters.
Magnus would have fought back but it was two against one and well a warlock challenging a Shadowhunter is a danger zone he would not like to enter right now.
"Damn it! Those demons got away!" said the young female Shadowhunter with black hair. She turned towards Magnus to reveal a pair of beautiful blue eyes. Black hair and blue eyes; my favorite combination, thought Magnus.
"We still have this fellow. Maybe he can give us some answers as to where his little friends went," said the male Shadowhunter who stood over Magnus as his female companion bound Magnus' hands together with makeshift handcuffs. The male stood over Magnus in an attempt to intimidate him but it wasn't working. Magnus knew that if he had to, he would pounce on them and display the power his magic had.
"I have nothing to tell you. I don't know where they went and please do not lump us together as friends" Magnus said in disgust. He hated Lilith even if her presence did make him uneasy.
"Well we'll see about that you pathetic demon" The man spat at Magnus.
"Robert, its Magnus Bane. The one they call the High Warlock of Brooklyn"
"You mean the one that has been causing all the trouble, making potions for the downworlders?" The man named Robert said looking down at Magnus. Magnus gave the most realistic fake smile he could at Robert as a way of greeting him, as he couldn't use his hands to wave.
A sinister smile fell on Robert's face changing the image Magnus had of him completely. "Looks someone has to answer to the Clave now" said Robert, looking pleased with himself.
The door to the house where the two Shadowhunters spent half of their time opened wide to reveal a magnificent house full of ornaments. The two Shadowhunters led Magnus towards a door at the end of the hallway, which Magnus guessed would lead to a basement. He was correct. The door opened to reveal nothing but darkness until they reached the bottom of the stairs.
As they walked down the stairs, Magnus could hear the sound of a vase crashing to the floor but quickly disregarded it as just a pet cat or something. The female Shadowhunter however (who's name Magnus still did not know) turned to go back up stairs to go check on the noise as Robert continued to lead Magnus towards a cell like structure in the corner of the basement.
Robert opened the door to the cell and throw Magnus instead. "You wait here, Magnus," said Robert who literally spat out Magnus' name in repulsion, like it left a sickening feeling in his mouth. Magnus, for once, did what he was told and just sat there like he had all the time in the world. Robert headed back up the stairs to go meet the other Shadowhunter, who Magnus now thought was his wife due to the matching rings on their fingers.
Little did they know that outside in their very own garden, a group of angry demons lead by Lilith lay in wait for their signal to attack their prey.
