Hello, this is the start of my new story, An Angel for Ransom. If you follow my other two stories, they will sadly be put off for now, as I dont really have anywhere I can take them. This one I hve almost all planned out though, so it will be completed. Thank you!
I DO NOT OWN THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS, but I do own this story.
Chapter 1
Alec and Isabelle walked down the street next to Jace, being sure they let him think, not speaking at all. They were on their way to Clary's house, then heading to the first hunt they've been on in a while.
It had taken a lot of convincing, but the Silent Brothers had finally let them go, insisting that it was only to be a short trip to Pandemonium. Finally, Jace had the heavenly fire to where it was far more manageable than before, enabling him to leave the infirmary.
Of course, there was still the issue of Sebastian, especially after his visit. He had left two torn angel wings lying in the library, threatening that he "was coming". This meant that from tonight on, the teens couldn't leave the institute, it was as if this was one last hurray.
Jace walked up to Clary's door, knocking and waiting to the side. Luke answered a minute later, and once realizing what the kids were going to do, based on Jace's outfit, he left to get Clary.
Although, before Clary could come out, the demons appeared. It was almost too real to be happening. They came down from house tops and out from the alleys, surrounding the group.
At first, they all jumped in the fight, trying their hardest to keep the demons off, but then the fight took a twist.
Alec and Isabelle lay off to the side, unconscious. Jace was getting his ass kicked, and he needed to get out of there. His hunting gear tattered, his right leg broken... He really needed to leave. Just one problem. There were at least forty demons surrounding him while he lay there.
As Jace was wondering how Luke and Clary hadn't noticed the distress, he muttered the only thing he could think, "Oh shit."
-TIME SKIP-
Alec woke with a start, and looked around. He didnt noticed anything, and he tried to jump up, until he noticed Luke.
"Luke, what am I doing here, I need to find Isabelle and Jace," Alec said.
"You are okay now, your sister healed you. She is in Clary's room," Luke replied.
Alec was nodding along until he realized Luke hadnt mentioned his parabatai,"Luke, where is Jace?"
"Thats the issue, he was taken. Im very sorry Alec, once I noticed what was happening I ran right out, but they were gone, and you and Isabelle were lying aside," Luke said. Then seeming to think of something, he looked around, "Could we possibly contact Magnus?"
Alec looked down, shamed. Nobody knew of his breakup yet, and he wasnt ready to share. He also knew that Jace needed help, and Magnus was the only warlock they had contact with.
"Well," Alec started,"I know we can try to go to him, but things have happened recently, and im not sure how happy he will be to see us."
It seemed that Luke understood what he was saying, and he moved out of the room,"Well get up and get ready," he called back,"We are going to ask Magnus to help."
-TIME SKIP-
When they all arrived at Magnus' flat, they were unpleasantly surprised. Magnus was nowhere in sight. Nobody was answering his buzzer, so they broke through up to his door, only to find he wasnt home.
"Alec, would you have a key we could use?" Luke asked.
"Um, I do in fact, I havent had the chance to bring it over..." Alec replied.
So, he went up to the door, and opened it. Then he stood back, gawking.
The whole place was a wreck, and not in a messy way. It was in a someone-came-in-without-asking-and-now-my-ex-boyfriend-is-gone way.
"Luke, I dont think that Magnus is here, and I dont think he will be coming back," Alec said worriedly.
They definitely needed to get the warlock, and Alec had a feeling he and Jace were in the same place, for there was note on the floor. It read, "I told you I was coming."
