Jace and Izzy walked down the poorly lit streets, cutting through alleyways and taking as many shortcuts they could, looking everywhere for Alec. There were so many things running through Jace's mind. His parabatai could be lying somewhere in an alley or the streets, dying. He was starting to get the hang of the whole Heavenly Fire thing but it still took up copious amounts of time in his day. And his girlfriend was pregnant and he was the only one who knew. Jace was so lost in thought that he hadn't noticed Isabelle stiffen and then stop, and he ran right into her.

"Izzy what's wrong?" Jace asked, his voice full of concern.

"Jace, look" Izzy said, drawing his attention to the ground in front of them. There was a large pool of blood and ichor mingling together. Whoevers blood that was, there was a lot of it, and by the looks of it whoever had lost it didn't have a very good chance of surviving. And Jace had a dreading suspicion that it was Alec's.

There was a trail of it leading around the side of an apartment building. They followed it until it stopped right in front of a door. Jace looked over at Izzy and signaled for her to cover him. He kicked down the door and barged into a kitchen. There was blood in the sink and all over the counter. He moved around the island, with Izzy flanking him on the other side and were going to walk into the living room before Jace was attacked by Luke.

"What are you two doing here?" Luke asked, his eyes blazing with fury. "If you wanted to talk to Clary you could have just knocked and asked. And why'd you have to break down the door? It was open!"

"We found a trail of blood leading to your back door. And do you care to explain why your kitchen is a complete mess? Jace asked.

"Well I was watching a movie with Jocelyn when I heard a yell and I went outside to check it out and saw your brother lying in a pool of his own blood and Sebastian was bending over him with a sword so I grabbed Alec and got him inside and dressed his wounds. He'll be fine."

"Oh my god, where is he?" Isabelle asked. Her eyes wide and full of concern for her brother.

"I left him on the couch, before you two came barging in." Luke said, annoyance still clear in his voice.

Jace and Izzy walked into the living room and all they saw was an empty couch.

"What the hell! You said he was here!" Izzy yelled, bordering on hysteria.

"He was I swear. I don't know where he went." Luke said.

"Maybe he got up and went back to the Institute" Jace said, trying to help the situation, to no avail.

"No way. If you saw the condition he was in you would know that there was no way he was going anywhere" said Luke.

"Well he obviously did!" Izzy said.

"Well do either of you have any idea of where he might have gone?"

"He was at your house lying on your bed!" Izzy shouted, giving into defeat as she plopped down onto the couch. Tears threatening to spill over her eyes out of frustration, burning in the back of her throat. She knew she was being a bit overdramatic but she knew something was wrong with Alec and she didn't want to lose another brother. Although Max's death was a while ago the emotional wounds she had suffered were still fresh. She didn't know what was going on between her brother and Magnus but right now she saw no other way. She pulled out her phone and called Magnus hoping that he could help them. She heard her phone ringing, and when Magnus answered she tried to speak but was abruptly cut off by Magnus's voice on the other end of the line.

"What do you want, didn't Alec tell you to stop calling me?" Magnus said, his voice steely and emotionless.

"Magnus what are you talking about? We need your help. Alec is missing and he's seriously hurt! I don't know or care what happened between you and Alec but can you please put your petty needs aside and help us?" Izzy screamed into her phone.

"Don't call me again Izzy. I'm done helping you shadowhunters out. You can help yourselves from now on. I'm tired of being your pet warlock." And on that sour note, Magnus hung up.

"What did Magnus say?" asked Jace.

"He told us not to call him again and got all snarky and rude. He sounded awful too. I wonder what could have happened between those two." Isabelle said with concern.

"Well whatever happened Magnus is just going to have to hike up his skirt and help us, whether he likes it or not." Said Jace.

Izzy and Jace made their way to Magnus's flat, hoping that they could find Alec soon.

They came up to Magnus's building and didn't bother to ring up. They used an opening rune on the front door and then on Magnus's door. When they got inside they were greeted by Magnus, half asleep on his couch with his TV screen flashing bright colors, there were multiple Chinese containers on the coffee table.

"What did I tell you? I don't want to see or hear from any of you again. I can make myself more explicit if you need." Said Magnus, with a hint of weak sarcasm and thinly veiled contempt.

"Look Magnus can you just get over yourself for once and please help us! Don't you care about Alec at all?" pleaded Izzy.

"Are you two going to leave or do I have to force you out?" asked Magnus.

"Fine, force us. There is no way you could beat me anyways." Jace said.

"Really, is that what you think?" said Magnus. Blue sparks started to crackle around his hands.

"Yes, because if you hurt me or Izzy then Alec would be furious and you would be hurting him too. And I know you still love him. Even through whatever you two are going through" said Jace.

Magnus's hands returned to normal and he flopped back down on his couch, feeling defeated.

"Why do you even care?" asked Magnus.

"Why do I care?! He's my parabatai! I can feel what he feels and right now he feels pretty crappy!" shouted Jace. "Why can't you just help us?"

"BECAUSE I LOVE HIM!" shouted Magnus, rising from his couch. "I love him and I have never felt this way about anyone before and he betrayed my trust!"

"But he still loves you."

"Fine I'll help you. But do not expect this to become a regular thing."

"I really hope it doesn't" muttered Jace under his breath.

"You know what I mean smart-ass" said Magnus. "Now let's go find Alec."

Alec was cold, he was wounded, he was tired, and he was hungry. All he wanted to do was crawl into bed but of course, fate couldn't allow that. He slipped through the Institute doors and crept up to his room, where he hastily drew on some iratze's and put on some sweatpants and one of Magnus's old t-shirts. It was dark blue with the Word, "Stunner" on the front in bold letters. He went to the kitchen to get something to eat. As he made his way down to the kitchen, as luck would have it his father was there.

"Hello father" said Alec.

"Hello Alexander" replied Robert coldly.

"What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in Idris?" Alec asked.

"Well I finished a little early so I decided to stop at home and collect some things before I went back."

"Oh" said Alec. Much to his dismay, he was a little disappointed that his father wasn't going to be staying long, even though he pretty made his life a living hell he was his father. Sometimes Alec couldn't help but wonder if he had turned out different then his father would be around more, and not so cold.

He wondered if his father even planned on telling his children he was back even if it was only for a short while.

"How are you and your lover?" Robert asked, clearly struggling with the question.

"Well for starters he has a name. And secondly we broke up."

"I don't appreciate being talked to in that manner Alexander!" said Robert rising from his chair. "I knew that downworlder would affect you. Now that you're done with that flaming homo you can finally find a wife and have some suitable shadowhunter children."

Alec had had enough. He had been pushed to the limit. He punched his father so hard enough in the jaw that he wouldn't be saying anything like that for a while.

"How dare you strike me boy! I am your father!" shouted Robert. "Maybe if you had just chosen to be different…"

"You think I chose to be this way!? I didn't choose anything! There isn't anything wrong with me, just you." Said Alec, every word in his voice dripping with contempt venom.

"You are no son of mine! You have no right to love a man. It's an abomination! I never want to see your face again!"

"Father I am nineteen I am not a child anymore, you can't make any choices for me anymore, and frankly, I don't want you to!" said Alec, then he angrily stalked out of the kitchen.

"Get back here you little fag!" Robert yelled as he pulled his son around and slapped him across the face. Hard. Then Robert came at him again but this time Alec caught his wrist and Drove him into the wall. He left his father there and went to his room. He grabbed a couple daggers, his new bow and quiver of arrows, and pulled on some new combat boots and a hoodie and left the Institute. Little did anyone know Alec had an apartment two blocks away from the Institute. He jogged over to the building and went inside. On his way up the stairs he contemplated everything that had just happened. He came to his apartment and as soon as he hit the sheets of his bed he was out like a light.
