I don't own The Mortal Instruments,sadly.

City of fairy tale's.

Once upon a time, the was a a boy and his name was Magnus bane. He had been stolen away from his parents when he was just a little,tiny baby. He'd been raised by a evil man called, Valentine. Now Magnus had beautiful hair, he styled it in many ways, spikes,curls, and straightened. His hair was why Valentine wanted Magnus, for his hair kept people young, and Valentine being the evil man he was wanted to be young forever( only if you knew the magic words though. And only Valentine and Magnus knew of course) But Magnus was no ordinary boy, he was a warlock, and he could use Magic. Valentine didn't want Magnus to find out that he wasn't really his father, so Valentine kept Magnus hidden away, in their apartment, in New York City. We all know though that being hidden away doesn't stop us from thinking about the outside world, and it certainly didn't stop Magnus. Every night, before Magnus went to bed, he would look up at the stars and wish that his father would let him outside. There is another thing you should know about Magnus Bane. He's gay. Thought I should get that little fact out of the way. Back to our story though.

On the day Magnus's life changed, he was watching TV. He sat on his dads couch watching the news. " why are mundanes so violent?" He wondered out loud to himself.

"Because, son, their brains are so small." Magnus whipped around to see his dad on the door way. He jumped up and went to hug him. The door behind Valentine was still open, and Magnus could see behind him into the streets. Valentine closed the door and locked it firmly. Magnus sighed and went to go back and sit down.

" Magnus, be a dear, and fetch me a Coke." Magnus snapped his fingers and a coke appeared in front of Valentine. "Magnus! You know how much I hate it when you use your Magic!" Magnus rolled his eyes, but since he was going to ask him he might as well get on his good side. He walked over to the frig, and pulled out a coke, and replaced it with the one before Valentine. Valentine smiled and patted Magnus on the head. " Thank you!" Magnus stood before Valentine as he opened the soda.

" Hey, dad?" Magnus said warily.

"Hmm?" Magnus twirled his foot and clasped his hands behind his back.

" Well, you know I was thinking that, well you know since I'm turning 18," Magnus took a deep breath, then let it all out so his words came out in a rush. "I was thinking that maybe you would let me walk around outside for awhile." Valentine spilled his coke on the ground. Magnus jumped back, saying "Oh! God Dad I'm so sorry!" over and over. Valentine watched his son closely as he picked up the soda stains. When Magnus was finished, he put the towel away and went back over to his dad, who was watching CSI NY. Magnus was the one watching closely, now.

"So?" Valentine looked up seeming confused.

"So,what?" Magnus heaved a sigh, how could he just forget.

" Can I go outside for my birthday tomorrow!" Valentine leaned forward, raiding his eyebrow.

"Magnus you know it's a dangerous place out there, so no you can't." Magnus sighed.

"Well could you at least pick up some Potilos?" Valentine laughed, and nodded smiling. Magnus smiled. He had a plan though. He would sneak out of the apartment while his dad was gone.

NEXT DAY

" Are you sure you will be fine while I'm gone?" Magnus sighed at Valentines remark.

" yes dad, I'll be fine." Valentine patted Magnus's head and said he was just trying to keep him safe.

"Yeah, see you later dad!" Magnus said pushing his dad out of the house. Magnus waited until his dads car was gone, then he grabbed his dads pair of extra shoes and reopened the door. The first thing Magnus noticed when he got outside, for the first time might I add, was that it smelled horrible. Magnus wrinkled his nose and just as he did so, a boy about his own age slammed into him.

"Ouch! Hey watch it-" Magnus exclaimed, he stopped mid-sentence though, and not many things could do this. The boy before him, Magnus thought, was beautiful! He had big baby blue eyes and long brown hair, and like I said before he was around 18. They both stood up. Magnus realized how ridiculous he looked. Magnus was wearing skin tight jeans and a tight t-shirt that was covered in sparkles (His favorite.) while the other boy was wearing black jeans, and a black shirt and come to think of it black everything! Magnus brushed himself off, then said. "Magnus Bane! Nice to m-meet... you?" Magnus stuttered because he had looked into the boys eyes, they seemed to draw him in. the boy shook Magnus's hand and said " Nice eyes!" Magnus blushed,thank god he had put on make-up, he thought or else the handsome kid would think him stupid. "are they contacts?" Magnus laughed

"Of course not you silly shadowhunter! It's natural!" He thought back to what he had just said. Shadow hunter, what in god's name was that! Yet it had slipped through his mouth like it was, like his eyes, natural. The boys eyes widened then his face turned red." so, you're a warlock,uh? I've never met a warlock before!" Magnus smiled.

"glad to be your first, then, sir!" they talked for awhile, then a car pulled up and honked. The boys waved it away, but it honked again. The boys smiled sheepishly.

"I have to go," he said. " but hey, give me your cell number, and I'll text you!" they exchanged numbers and the boy walked backwards to the car waving. Then Magnus remembered something.

"Wait!" He cried, just before the boy got into the car, " What's your name!" The boy smiled and sat down in the car. He called back.

"Alec, Alec lightwood!"
