Magnus stood at the door, frantically banging on it and ignoring the rain that poured from above.
"LET ME IN!" He screamed. Suddenly the door was opened and there stood Isabelle .She had a bewildered look on her face.
"Magnus?" Isabelle whispered, confused. Before her gaze hardened and she glared at him. "You're not wanted here."
"Your brother asked for me?"
Her face showed confusion once again. "Alec? He wouldn't- he couldn't-"
"Jace." Magnus corrected before she said something she would regret. "He texted me." He held out his phone as proof. Izzy checked it over then sighed, opening the door further. "Come in. But if you hurt him more. I swear by the Angel I'll-"
Magnus sighed. "I'm here to help. And Jace's text seemed urgent so-"
Izzy sighed, moving her arm exaggeratedly. "Go right ahead. He's in the infirmary."
"Thank you." Magnus said, walking past her and pretending not to notice how she was glaring at him. He walked upstairs to the infirmary and stepped inside. Jace was sitting on the bed next to him, his head in his hands. He looked up, hearing someone at the door.
"Magnus?" Jace whispered, squinting at him. Magnus nodded.
"It's me." He glanced around the room and when he saw him his heart crushed. He was lying on the bed, his breathing shallow, looking pale as a light sheen of sweat was on his forehead. "What happened?"
"Demon. We thought Izzy got all the poison out but-"
"It didn't work." Magnus finished. Jace nodded.
"I didn't want to call you but I don't know what else to do. He's getting worse and-" Jace's voice caught. He seemed unable to finish.
"I understand." Was all Magnus said. Jace looked almost as bad as Alec. He was pale with dark circles under his eyes. "You should get some rest."
"I can't. Not with him like this."
Magnus nodded, he knew the feeling. That sinking feeling when a loved one's condition was getting worse. He was fighting the feeling now. He would help him. He would get him better. After all he'd done it before.
"What type of demon was it?"
"We're not sure. We went out to get some supplies and we ran into it."
"You have no idea what type it was?"
Jace nodded. "That's what I just said."
Magnus sighed. "This is going to be harder then but not impossible."
Jace lit up. "So you can help him?"
Magnus nodded. "I believe I can." He walked over to Alec, gently examining the cut. "This looks easy. It will just take a simple healing spell."
Jace nodded, still looking a bit wary. Magnus rubbed his hands together and chanted something under his breath. He separated his hands and blue sparks shot out of his fingers. Suddenly Magnus was thrown to the other side of the room just as Mira had. He cried out as he hit the wall.
Jace ran to his aid but he was too fast, lifting himself up and dusting himself off. "I- I'm fine." Magnus said.
"Are you sure?"
Magnus nodded, not trusting himself to speak more. He had a better idea of what it was now and it was doing nothing to ease his fears.
"I th-" He started but he was cut of when a voice sounded out from across the room.
"M-magnus?" A weak voice asked.
Ok so I hoped this would be longer. This just seemed like the right place to stop though. I know I said Magnus/Alec interaction this chapter but I got a little ahead of myself (next chapter I promise). Thank you for your kind reviews. And I might be able to update again tonight if I get enough reviews. (I hate bribing people but I really want those reviews because they keep me motivated and help me write). Also to respond to a previous question: yes this takes place after City Of Lost Souls.
Post predictions, ideas, comments or anything else in the reviews below (Ideas would be greatly appreciated). Thank you! (hopefully I'll be writing another one of these shortly). :D
