Chapter Four:
I wanted to call Magnus but the spell hadn't finished, I felt like something terrible was going to happen- The Institute bell broke my thoughts, I stood up and walked to the elevator knowing I would have to open the door. Ding. I opened the door and saw Dad. 'Son, I can stay here now, Raphael said I could return.' There was so much joy in his voice it scared me. 'He said I won't hurt anyone now!' He brought me into a big bear hug.
'Can't-breath.' He released me.
'Sorry, are you happy I'm back?'
'Of coarse I am Dad-'
'Good! I've missed you all over the last couple of weeks. Where's your mother and Izzy and Max?'
'I think Mum's in the library talking to Hodge. And Izzy would be in her room or the lounge room and Max would be in his room. I wouldn't see Max for a little while; he's a little annoyed. And I don't know about Jace.' I lied.
'Ok. Is Hodge back?' He never really liked Hodge.
'Uh, yeah. He's been here for the passed week.' His lips were in a fine line, 'everything alright?'
'Yeah fine, I'll talk to you later son. I'm going to go find Izzy and Max.' He ran off in the direction of the elevator. I was left standing by the still open door, after a minute or two standing there looking out across the yard, I decided to go for a walk.
'So Alec,' I knew the voice, I hated the voice. Please don't be him. Please don't be him. 'I heard you and Magnus broke up, that means he's back on the market, yes?' I hate my life.
'Yes Marius, we broke up. Now could you leave me alone?'
'Mmm goody, I can't wait to have his lips touch mine again. He always had the softest lips, don't you think?' He did.
'Why are you here?'
'Oh no reason in particular, I'm just here to talk.' Great.
'I don't want to ta-'
'I know how you feel, you know losing the sexiest man alive. But I'm going to get him back.' No you won't, Magnus hates you. 'Do you know what I love most about Magnus?' No and I don't care.
'Marius, if you don't mind I want you to leave.' He ignored me.
'The way he hugged me, it always made me feel like we were the only people in the world. I loved how special it made m-' I raised my fist and punch him. I didn't think before I acted. I stood over his body laying on the ground, Shit, is he knocked out? I touched his back; nothing. I've always wanted to do that, but now that I've actually done it, it was better than I thought it would be. But now what do I do? I couldn't just leave him here; I'll have to take him back to the Institute. I can't use glamour, yay, this will be a fun walk back. Not.
