Thanks if you reviewed, and hopefully this chapter is decent.
Enjoy!
CHAPTER 2
The scream was drawn out and terrible, whoever could produce a sound like that was definitely in agony and they couldn't be far, maybe even in the next alley down.
Before Alec had time to contemplate what he was doing he was running, trying to find the source of the sound. Magnus coming after him asking what on earth he was doing, when they reached the place where the scream had come from it abruptly stopped. The alley was empty apart from a few trash bins.
"What was that?" Alec asked half to himself, he continued down the alley he needed to find the source of the sound.
"Alec, what did what are you talking about." Magnus asked bewildered. What had caused Alec to run here like that?
"That scream," replied Alec who was still searching for the source of the sound. Magnus almost had to jog to keep up with Alec's purposeful stride.
"Alec, there was no sound," said Magnus with growing concern.
This caused Alec to stop, "but there was a scream-" he began but was cut off as Jace and Isabelle came into the alley wearing gear and covered in marks.
"Okay, where's this major disturbance of yours?" Isabelle inquired, looking around the empty alleyway.
Jace smirked, "come on Al, you didn't kill it without us did you?" His smile faltered when he saw the concerned look on Magnus's face and Alec's confusion. "What's going on?" he asked.
Alec began "There was a scream, like loud, agonized. I was sure it came from here but when we got here it was empty."
Magnus cleared his throat "I didn't hear any scream" he informed the group.
"First high demon activity levels and then a mysterious scream with no source that only Alec can hear?" asked Jace skeptically.
"Are you trying to say that I made this up?" Alec demanded "I heard a scream it wasn't something that I could just imagine it was-"he cut off as another scream priced the night with a new urgency. Though this time it seemed to be coming from all directions, "There it is again! Can't you guys hear it?" He asked looking at their blank expressions. He felt a surge of panic; I'm going insane he thought.
The scream stopped and he look at his friends who continued to look at him but now with concern. "Are you sure that you heard something?" Isabelle asked her brother putting her hand on his shoulder.
"I'm sure" he said his face blank of expression, his fists clenched.
"Are you sure you weren't like⦠drinking or" she trailed off.
"No," He said turning away from his sister and looking down at the pavement.
"Okay, we should investigate" said Jace
"You think" mumbled Magnus.
"Okay Alec, tell us where you heard it coming from so that we can" she cut off as the pendant around her neck began to glow.
Then Alec heard another scream this one was ten thousand time worse than the last two. It seemed to be coming from the inside his head, he felt a blinding pain as if someone had put a seraph blade through the top of his head. It was so intense he called out and fell to his knees and put his head in his hands. He could distantly hear Magnus, Isabelle and Jace calling out to him. The pain just kept getting worse; it couldn't be long before he blacked out. Please let me black out, he thought.
Somewhere he could hear someone, a man laughing. And then he didn't hear or feel anything as he fell in to unconsciousness.
This chapter didn't really have any Malec moments in it sorry. I originally planned to make this just a fluffy Malec type thing but apparently my mind doesn't work that way. Hope you liked it, I will try to update soon. Please leave a comment :)
