Chapter 2

Hey everyone! How are you guys? I am posting earlier than I expected to! Yay being afraid of a-friend-who-will-murder-you-if-you-don't-update-before-she-comes-over!

Thank you glitter-givers!

Magnus speaks some French in here. I don't know if it's right or not. If not, blame Word.

Enjoy!

Cassandra possède tout mais l'intrigue et Ambrosine.

Alec ran down the hall as fast as he could. He ran into a wide open door. Light seemed to be shining from no source. He had to blink a few times before his eyes adjusted. He didn't have any weapons and there didn't seem like there was anything he could use in their place.

Alec saw the demon coming out of the entry towards him. Alec looked around but didn't see any exits. When it got close enough, the thing jumped at him. Mid-jump it disappeared in smoke. In its place came Ambrosine. She was wearing more normal clothes than she had in their earlier encounter. She was wearing all black clothes and no shoes. Her eyeliner was such a dark shade of purple it looked black too.

"Shadowhunter, your wish has been granted. But not without a price. Nothing is without a price. I would charge you myself, but I think fate will take care of that." He could hear her voice, but her lips were not moving.

"I didn't ask for you to do it!" Alec yelled at her.

"Oh but you did. You wanted proof I gave you proof."

"But I never said-"

"You didn't have to say it," She cut in.

"I don't care. I didn't mean that I wanted you to t-"

Again he was cut off by the voice. "You did. It was your biggest wish. You wished every day for it to come true and now it has. I would love to stay yet another moment but you must wake up now." She placed her hand on his chest and gave it a little shove. Alec took a step back, expecting to land on ground, but instead tumbling into darkness.

The feeling of falling only lasted a second before Alec hit the floor. He looked around and saw that, indeed, he had been sleeping and he had just rolled of the bed. He tried to get back in but he got tangled in the sheets. He started getting cold from losing the body heat the bed contained.

Magnus was woken from his dreams by a loud thump. He looked over and saw Alec on the floor in the blankets. He smiled and got out of bed to walk over to him.

"Need help?" he offered.

"No, I do not." Alec struggled to get untangled and failed. "Yeah, I do."

Magnus got the sheets off of him and then set him back down on the bed. Alec got under the covers and latched onto Magnus for heat.

"Now you're up here, but how did you end up on the floor in the first place?" Magnus asked.

"Well obviously I fell off the bed," Alec murmured while burying his face into Magnus's shoulder.

"Obviously. You were moving around a lot. Do you remember what you were dreaming about?"

"That weird girl Ambrosine. She was talking to me about the 'granting your biggest wish' thing. It was odd," Alec stated.

"That is weird. Why would you dream about her?"

"I honestly have no idea…" Alec shook his head into the shoulder.

"Hmm… Well, what is your biggest wish?" Magnus asked.

"You asked me that yesterday."

"And you didn't answer."

"And I won't today." Alec closed his eyes and started going to sleep. When he heard Magnus's breathing even, he looked down at him. "Hey Magnus?" Magnus didn't respond. "You asleep?" He still received silence as an answer. "Good. About the wish thing… my wish is…"

Alec woke up to the smell of bacon cooking. He smiled and straightened up before feeling a sharp pain in his arm. He hissed and fell back down. He pushed himself up with his other arm and threw his legs over the edge. His feet hit the floor and he heard Magnus take plates out. He walked into the kitchen and saw plates being set on the table piled high with bacon, eggs, and biscuits with honey on them. There was orange juice in glasses on the table also.

"Morning Mags." Alec sat in one of the chairs and grabbed his fork.

"Morning Blue Eyes." Magnus sat in the chair next to him. "How did you sleep after the Ambrosine dream?"

"Very well, you?"

"Well also."

Alec tilted his head to the side slightly. "What did you dream about?"

Magnus shrugged. "I can't remember what I dreamed last night."

"Okay." Alec finished his bacon and got a spoonful of eggs. He saw steam coming off of them and blew to cool them down. "Do you have any clients today?"

"I don't think so." Magnus snapped a calendar into his hands. "Today is the 23rd…" He started flipping pages until he got to the right one. "One client at night. Must be a vampire." He snapped the calendar back to wherever it came from. "Do you have training today?"

Alec nodded and started his biscuit. The honey got all over his hand and started running down his chin. He smiled when Magnus laughed at the mess.

"Honey is sticky," Alec observed as he tried to get it off of him but ended up just making a bigger mess.

Magnus laughed harder before snapping his fingers and instantly cleaning the whole kitchen.

"The kitchen is so clean. Why do you never clean the rest of the house?" Alec asked.

"Well, there are many reasons," Magnus answered.

"What is one of them?"

"One of the advantages of being disorganized is that one is always having surprising discoveries," Magnus quoted.

"Since I am guessing you did not just think of that on your own in a second, you probably just quoted something I did not get."

"You are correct." Alec went into the bathroom to brush his hair and teeth while Magnus lay down on the couch with Chairman.

"Au revoir Alec! Être en sécurité ! Je t'aime!" Magnus called after Alec as he walked out the door.

"Love you too!" Alec yelled over his shoulder. He pulled his jacket tighter around his body when he walked out into the crisp breeze. It was the end of winter almost spring. It was at the point where it wasn't cold enough out that it still snowed, but it was cold enough where everyone had their coats on and some people still wore gloves/mittens, hats, and scarves. Alec smiled at the people that couldn't see him and turned to start down the street.

Alec walked to the Institute and placed his hand on the door. It swung open for him and he ran inside. When he got to the floor of the training room, he got out and hung up his jacket on the hook. Inside he saw Jace warming up, Isabelle texting, and Clary staring at Jace.

"Hey guys. What are you doing here Clary?" Alec asked. He didn't really think he wanted to know. He still was going to act like he did though.

Clary turned around in the chair she was sitting in. "Just hangin' out," she saw the mark on Alec's arm from where Ambrosine touched him. A meaning flashed in her head. She shook it to clear her thoughts. That wasn't possible. "Where did you get that mark?" she asked.

Alec looked down at it and shrugged. "Don't know," he lied. "Why?"

"No reason," Clary said slowly. She wasn't going to make a big deal of it if it was nothing. But if it was something…

"Let's get to training," Jace said, cutting off her thoughts.

"It's nothing," Clary mumbled to herself. But she knew it wasn't.

I finished! I actually started this chapter 2 days ago. So my friend arrived while I was still typing. I would have updated yesterday, but my computer just stopped working. Thank you auto save!

If any of you speak French, did Word get it right? If not, he lied to me. (In my head, Word is a guy)

Please give me more wonderful glitter-reviews!

Carpe Diem,
