CHAPTER 1
There are people that believe in a sixth sense.
Some said it was about knowing people so well, it was like they could look into their very souls.
A number of them believed that it was something more physical, feeling people around them even if they weren't exactly living.
Other´s said that it was more about a feeling in the gut, a sense of dread before something awful happened.
That was happening to me right now.
It was like everything collided in my chest, making it heavy and pulling the air out of my lungs. I felt a familiar knot in my throat, the one that had accompanied me for countless years; that urge to cry that I had managed to avoid for most of my life. It felt stronger, like I needed to sob more than anything, like something horrible had happened.
I was lying on a comfortable bed. My eyes closed as my breathing picked up, I was scared of what was awaiting for me, I wouldn't wake up this anxious if I was in a safe place. After all, this wasn't the first time I woke up like this, it was a reflex to gather my surroundings before I even opened my eyes…too many horrible things had awaken me before.
I took note of what my body felt like –like shit, but that wasn't really out of the ordinary-, I felt something grasping my right wrist, probably a plaster…I also noted the soft texture of the sheets, definitely not mine.
Okay, maybe it was time to open my eyes.
I blinked a couple of times trying to get rid of the moist before I was able to see clearly. I looked around seeing while walls, a turned on night lap at my side, a decent size TV and a what it looked like a black haired guy dozing on a couch…
Okay that was unexpected.
I bit my lip trying to think, had I been in some sort of accident? I didn't think so…wait, where were my siblings? It was weird that some estranger was sleeping in my room instead of Jace. Fuck, maybe they didn't know I was in the hospital and the guy was the one who found me? Shit, Izzy would kill me if it was like that, last time she had almost gone crazy worrying about me. I decided to take a deep breath and calm myself; I didn't help if I was all paranoid. I thought my options through deciding that the best thing right now would be to wake the guy and ask him what the hell was going on.
"Hum…h-hey…" I rolled my eyes, yeah that would totally wake him "Ex-excuse me!" I raised my voice seeing him stir. Good, now all I had to do was to…
…
Okay, the stranger was gorgeous…that complicated things a little. He was sitting on the couch looking at me, from this position I could only see his defined profile, nice cheekbones, probably Asian judging from his slanted eyes. He had silk black hair, a little longer than mine and it fucking looked amazing.
"H-hi" I managed to say once he locked his shaded eyes with mine. He raised an eyebrow, like he expected something else from me…maybe he had saved me from a terrible doom? It wouldn't be the first time someone found me completely beat up "Ahmm…you…d-did you found me?" I winced hating my apparent lack of courage when it came to good looking strangers.
"No, they called me…I must say, it was a shock after all this time Alexander, one would´ve thought that being that you ran away like that, you wouldn't leave me on your emergency call" I frowned taken back by his sudden harshness.
And did he just call me by my name?
"Alec" I whispered unable to hold myself. Sure ask him to call you by your nickname instead of asking him how the hell he knew your name on the first place.
"What?" he blinked.
"I don't like to be called by my full name" I said looking away not really liking how his gaze was making me feel "H-how do you know it?" he frowned looking pretty confused "My name, how do you know it? I-I don't have a medical record so the hospital couldn't give it to you…how do you know my name?"
"Are you fucking kidding me?" he gasped standing up and turning on the room´s light in one swift motion…and totally blinding me in the process.
"Thanks for the heads up" I mumbled passing my hands through my eyes before glancing at the guy. With the lights on, now I could see his hollowed face, the dark circles under his eyes and his amazing yellow-green eyes…
I grinned rolling my eyes watching those cat-like eyes shine in silent laughter…
"Who are you?" I found myself asking completely freaked out about that little image my brain had conjured; really it was way too soon for fantasies.
"You don't know" it was a sentence so I decided to wait until he said something else "Alexander what is the last thing you remember?"
"Honestly…I don't know, it´s all tangled up" I passed a hand through my face.
"I´ll call the doctor" he said before running out of the room. I looked around hoping to find my phone somewhere but there was nothing, no clothes, no siblings, no memory…apparently I depended only in that stranger. Just when I was about to start having a little panic attack on that little thought, the door opened again revealing a young doctor and the stranger right behind him.
"Good night Mr. Lightwood, I´m Dr. Coulson" he smiled politely "How do you feel?"
"Like shit" I raised my shoulders feeling a sting on my middle…perfect I might even had been stabbed.
"Well you came here in pretty bad shape, you´ve been asleep for two days now" I gaped at that.
"No way! Shit…I have to call my siblings; do you have a phone I could use?" I sat so quickly that I started to feel dizzy seeing dark spots all over the place.
"Easy, easy" spoke the doctor as I felt his gentle hands pushing me back down "Your siblings already know that you´re here, they will come in the morning to see you" I pressed my lips together feeling my brain working.
"But why did they leave me alone?" I asked frowning before sneaking a glance to the stranger. He was now standing in front of the window; he looked pensive and kind of troubled.
"Magnus told me about that" Mused the doctor.
"Magnus?" I blinked hating how lost I felt.
"Magnus Bane" said the stranger turning to look at me "Does that name mean anything to you?" I shook my head seeing the doctor grimace.
"Alec, can you tell me what date it is?"
"November 13, 2007" I answered sensing my heart beating wildly. I looked at the two men inside the room as they exchanged a glance, well that couldn't mean good things.
"It´s August 16, 2012" I felt the doctor´s words like a kick in the gut, what the hell had happened?
"Five years" I whispered suddenly overwhelmed by a simple date. How could I have lost five years of my life? What had happened?
"Well, at least that explains why you can´t remember me" I heard the stranger say "How…convenient" he sneered in a low voice.
"Who are you?" I managed to inquire trying to overcome my dizziness.
"Magnus Bane…let´s say that we are friends…for now" I pressed my jaw not liking the way he talked, like he was mad at me for some reason.
"Alexander, breathe" instructed the doctor moving to look inside my eyes with a small lap "Have you had any flashbacks or a sense of deja´vú?"
"A flashback" I searched for the stranger´s –Magnus´- eyes thinking about how different they looked now, in my memory –because now I could think about it like that, instead of a crazy fantasy- they looked shiny, happy and open; now they were cold and distant…that made me a little too uneasy.
"That´s a pretty good sign, you don't need to stress yourself over this, the scans showed that your head it´s perfectly fine, maybe your brain it´s only readjusting itself, hopefully you will recover your memory in the next few weeks" grinned Dr. Coulson.
"Hopefully" I sighed "So…how did I ended up in here?" the doctor shook his head.
"Not right now, you need to sleep and in the morning your siblings can update you and tell you all about what happened"
"I´m not really tired" I grimaced before seeing him take out a syringe and going to my left hand to inject some sort of drug.
"You will be in about half an hour"
"Will you leave me here with a stranger?" I spoke not helping myself. I looked down not wanting to see those cold eyes again, they were highly disconcerting.
"Hardly" snorted Magnus. I frowned looking at him as he and the doctor shared another look.
"I believe you should tell him Magnus" Magnus rolled his eyes at the Doctor´s words.
"We haven't been that for a long time" he huffed completely ignoring me.
"Hey asshole…at least don't do it like I´m not in the room" I glared at the guy deciding that he was a jerk and I didn't like him very much.
"Oh I´m sorry, did I hurt your feelings?" he spat glaring back at me.
"If you´re so unhappy about taking care of the sick guy, why are you here? Why isn´t Jace or Izzy in your place? Or better, just leave! I can take care of myself" what was with this guy?
"I´m not leaving you" I raised my hands exasperated.
"Can you make up your mind? Besides why the fuck does the hospital let you stay? Isn´t there some rule about being family for that?" I looked at the doctor, whom was wearing an amused expression "What´s so funny doctor?"
"Magnus…tell him" said this; the guy turned around and left the room leaving me with a bipolar sexy stranger.
Perfect.
"Who the fuck are you?" he shook his head starting to pace around the room "Magnus!" he halted.
"Why now?" he whispered "After all this time, why fucking now? Why couldn't you just leave and let me…?" he let out a breath "How do you expect me to react, huh? Part of me believes you but other part just can´t get over the fact that this is too convenient! Too unreal!"
"What are you talking about?" I asked pressing my hands to my face having that gut clenching feeling again, this was something important but I couldn't remember what was it about.
"You! Why call me?" his voice wavered and that was when I decided to look at him again. This time his eyes were deep, worried, angry, disbelieving and most of all hurt. He fisted his hands and for the first time in a long time, I didn't flinch, for some reason I knew that he wouldn't hurt me, that I was safe with him.
Why? Fucking why?
"Please…who are you?" I didn't pay much attention at how desperate I sounded. There was something about him, something that pulled me, a strange need to raise my hands and hold him…but there was also that fucking feeling in the pit of my stomach, like it was a mistake to be in the same room as him…what was going on?
"I´m your husband"
There it is, more Malec! I blame all of you for this LOL and well, let´s see how this turns out :D
Short chapter, I know but it´s the first one, I´m still settling here so be patient.
