Chapter 8 –Alec's Vampire Experience

Alec stood silently, watching the Downworlders as they chatted and few moved in an unusual fashion he presumed was dancing. To tell the truth: he was bored. That was until, a brunette vampire, sidled up to him with a creepy expression he assumed was meant to be seductive.

'Hello there, bluey.' She called to him. He avoided looking at her. 'Playing hard to get, I see.' she flicked her mousy brown hair over her exposed shoulder, she was wearing a short white dress – a cloud he guessed. She took a drink from one Izzy's tray – his sister had dumped it on him – she sipped it slowly, trying to look desirable.

'Oh, let's just go.' She whispered stroking her hand along Alec's muscled arm not feeling him tense under her frozen touch. 'No one will know.' She giggled. Forcing her way closer to him. She flicked her hair again, making the Alec sneeze, he jerked forward.

However this sudden movement made the glasses and food fall onto the unsuspecting vampire. She screeched as the cool rainbow liquids stained her costume. Alec ducked down to attend to the food, hearing her hisses he looked up – a stinging sensation occurred on his cheek and felt his warm blood ran down his face. She tore the skin on his cheek, though his blood must have smelt good because a few other vampires were stood behind her, drooling at the small flow of blood. Alec was toying whether to fight or flee when a familiar voice broke his inner conflict.

'I am extremely apologetic, for my staff. I promise you it will not happen again, he shall be dealt with immediately. I will replace whatever was ruined, again I am very sorry this happened.' Magnus turned on his charm and soon the vampire was smiling and giggling, when moments ago she had been willing to claw Alec's eyes out. Alec stood in amazement at the warlock in front of him

'It's fine, it was my mistake really. Thank you.' She gushed as she and her friends moved away.

'Glad I could help!' Magnus called cheerfully, turning to face Alec his attitude changed, as did his expression. His eyes were narrowed, his eyebrows pointed down, his lip tooked into a straight line. 'As for you, follow me!' his face was livid as he hauled the servant away. The last thing Alec saw was the puzzled looks from his sister, Jace and Clary.
