Happy New Year Dear readers! *hands out cookies and stuffs*

The room was dead silent. Alec spoke first.

"How can it be gone?" He asked quietly, at the same time Isabelle asks

"I didn't know that was possible."

"Neither did I." Magnus said quietly. He kept his now dull eyes on his hands. The room fell silent again.

What seemed like an eternity, but was likely only about half an hour, the sound of footsteps approached the infirmary, Magnus looked up. It was Jace.

"Is he okay?" Jace asked Alec.

"Why didn't you just ask me?" Magnus said, rolling his eyes. Jace looked at him.

"Sorry Magnus. Are you okay?"

"I'll heal. It'll take a while though."

"I thought you healed fast."

Magnus lowered his eyes, not answering.

"Jace..He lost his magic. It was stolen from him." Alec answered for him.

"How do you steal magic from a warlock? Especially one as powerful as Magnus?"

"I didn't recognize the spell. I don't even know what the thief is."

"So we don't know what we're up against."

"That is what I said."

Alec clenched his fists.

"I want to kill this thing with my bare hands." He growled

Magnus let out a halfhearted chuckle.

"No offense Love, but I don't think you'll be able to. This...Thing is very powerful."

Alec sighed.

"I know. But it will not get away with this. You could have died."

Magnus reached for his hand.

"I know that Alexander. But I didn't.*

Alec kissed Magnus' forehead.

"I know. I'm greatful you did. I don't know what I would have done if you died."

Alec was close to tears again.

"Hush Love. I didn't and that's all that matters."

A little while later Magnus had gathered the strength to get up and walk. He and Alec ran into Maryse in the hall. Magnus found himself holding his breath as he waited for her to say something. She had a look of almost pity on her face.

"Magnus." She paused and took a breath "It's good to see you up walking."

"A spell isn't near enough to keep me down " Magnus answered, trying to make the mood a little lighter, though caught off guard. She gave a tight-lipped, forced smile and walked away.

"Wow." Alec said quietly.

"I second that "
