Authors note: Hay guys finally I got chapter three finished. Sorry for the long wait I had to deal with midterms and I didn't have a lot of inspiration to write over break. But now I finally got a chance to type out the rest of the chapter the next chapter will take longer since I plan to make it around as long as chapter one was at least. Oh and before I forget please please review and I hope you enjoy.
The water was cold. It's icy touch sending a small shiver down Magnus's spine as it turned blood red and flooded threw the drain. The bathroom in Darton's apartment was small, cramped and less then clean. Yet that mattered little to him as he grabbed a towel and attempted to scrub off the blood roughly. He broke some skin on his hands from the sheer force of his scrubs.
His breathing was heavy as he tried to think so many thoughts going threw his mind in the course of a few minutes. Some were of shameless surprise at what he had done others were of the task ahead and there was the one thought that troubled him the most. What was he turning into?
"You enjoyed it didn't you?" Stated the voice silver tonged and deep.
"Shut up" Magnus muttered
"Don't deny it. You know as well as i what you felt seeing his fear his terror. You enjoyed it no savored it."
"No I... didn't."
"Oh come now you can't honestly believe you can lie to me Magnus or should I say Ma..."
"Don't you dare say my name Demon."
"Demon now that is a something I haven't been called in a millennia."
Magnus turned off the sink after the last of the blood was washed from his hands. Leaving the room he saw Darton's body its it current state...it was unlikely that it would be identified. He stared at it for awhile not being able to look away as the demon continued to taunt him. He shook the voice away and began making his walk to the roof.
"Do you really believe that they'll help you? You know as well as I that Thoron won't go and help when you ask for aid they will do nothing. He will say they should wait to plan but you know better don't you?"
"I don't know what your talking about." Magnus stated to the creature.
"Do you really think you can lie to me? I see your doubts. Do you even believe the big four are coming back? Or have you realized the truth? That they have left you all to die."
"Your...your wrong they'll be back!"
"Now who's the fool. That thought has crossed your mind. How long have you doubted there return? A year? two? Did you ever believe?" The demon asked releasing a small chuckle.
"Quiet demon. I'm not a naive child. I know better then to fall for your tricks."
"If you say so. I'll be here mortal. When you finally realize the truth." He was silent after that and for once Magnus held some piece of mind. Upon getting to the roof of the building he saw spike there waiting for him."
"Cmon old friend lets go home.
G.M.A.D base two hours later.
"Where have you been?"
"Nice to see you to Silver." Replied Magnus upon entering the base. Silver scowled in response.
"What?" Magnus asked as Silver simply turned and gestured for him to follow. Eventually leading him to Thoron's room.
"Ok what's this about?" Magnus asked wondering what he just walked into.
"Take a seat." Thoron said gesturing to a nearby chair. Magnus took said seat and waited until Thoron spoke again.
"You were out in the world again."
"Yea so."
"Magnus you can't keep disappearing at will or as often." Silver stated
"And why the hell not? If I wasn't out there we wouldn't have found Shawn."
"That may be true Magnus but considering you head out of the circle more then anyone else without us knowing you will attract Pitch's attention. If you disappear and are captured we wouldn't even know! In fact you were almost captured when you went out and found Shawn!" Silver stated albeit a bit loudly."
" But I didn't and don't intend to ever get captured. And with all do respect you can't stop me from going out and doing my job."
"Were not stoping you. But you shouldn't take any needless risks out there." Thoron stated
"Those risks got me some intel which I think you'll find interesting." Magnus stated getting up from his chair.
"What are you talking about?" Silver asked
"I got some intel about someone about to be executed at Blackstone. Seeing as Pitch doesn't exactly execute bad people I figured we should go and spring her. Magnus stated smirking as Thoron and Silver looked at each other.
"Blackstone isn't exactly an easy place to get into." Thoron said
"That's never stopped us before" Magnus replied
"How long until the execution?"
"A day."
"Not a lot of time to come up with a way in and with a fortress like that a half baked plan won't be good for anyone's health and as much as I hate to admit it we can't save everyone."
"Oh come on Thor we took on bigger fish with even less chances of survival."
"Yea but back then there were more of us. I'll see if we can come up with a plan but I doubt we came find a way in in time."
"But."
"Look I want to help but if we go in blind and rush in how many of us will come back? Not to mentaion the fact that Pitch might have had the information deliberately leaked to lead us straight into a trap."
Without a word Magnus stormed out of the room firsts clenched.
"He's hiding something." Silver stated
"Yea that much was clear..." Thoron replied
"Well I better get evreywone together if we can come up with a plan that won't get half of us killed will get to Blackstone." Thoron said getting up from his seat.
"So your actully thinking about breaking in?"
"Its obvious there's more to this girl then it seems otherwise Magnus wouldent be so dead set on saving her.
"Lets hope we don't regret this then."
Meanwhile
Magnus paced in his room muttering curses under his breath.
"Ready to admit it?" The demon said making himself known.
Magnus stopped in response.
"You...were right."
"See that wasn't so hard now was it." The demon said with a hint of sarcasm.
" Thoron's right to thou in rescuing her I could very much cause some of my friends to die."
"So you'd leave her to die?"
"I may not have a choice."
"There's always a choice... would like me to offer you one." Magnus paused considering.
"Speak."
"They may not have the power to assault the fortress...but you do."
"How did you come to that conclusion exactly."
"The dark magic of my tome that you utilize. You've learned much from it. More then what you've shown your allies. Of course you'd never even think revealing just how much you've delved into the dark arts. They know of your power over the shadows. But what about your other gifts over blood,death,fear, or pain? If you'd utalize all these gifts you could take the fortress yourself."
"I think you overestimate me or just trying to get me killed."
"Oh come now I'm linked to you if you die my spirit is sent into oblivion. Therefore your death goes against my own interests."
"Then why have me go on a suicide mission?"
"Because you want your niece back and where she is Gothal is there surly and I know how much your wish to have your revenge which benefits me and let's just say her master and I...have a score that I must settle."
"So what do you say Magnus? Want to go destroy a fortress?"
