It was perfect.

Aside from him bleeding out across his trousers and Alec's shirt. That was what made him pull back.

Alec stayed in the same position for a split second, eyes blown, lips still parted.

"Magnus?" He murmured. Magnus lifted his eyes, hands still clutching his neck. He wasn't sure how much Isabelle had told Alec. If he saw Magnus just heal, that might freak him out to the point of no return.

And no matter how much distance Magnus put between them, he still wanted things to go back to normal.

He could feel the skin knitting together under his bloody fingers as Alec fished his phone out from a pocket.

"No," he choked. "'M good."

Alec stared at him in disbelief. "You got stabbed, you idiot. And you don't want an ambulance?"

"What did Izzy tell you about Shadowhunting?"

"What do you know about it?"

"Two thousand years worth of knowledge."

Alec shot from his knees to crouched on the balls of his feet.

"You're a demon." His hand was drifting to his back pocket, where Magnus knew he kept a vial of holy water.

"No, no. A warlock." Magnus held his hands up, trying to calm Alec down show him he wasn't a threat.

Alec stumbled back even more, standing on the opposite side of the alley, a knife and a plastic vial in both hands.

"You're healed."

Well that plan went well.

"Go home. To Izzy, Jace. Get them to explain Shadowhunting-"

"I know about Shadowhunting!" Alec yelled, eyes wide and confused, but deadly. "What are you? How do you know me and my sister? What do you want?" He shouted louder and louder, face tortured.

Magnus slowly rose to his feet, ignoring the head rush and how his vision went so dark he could hardly see Alec.

"Alec. I don't want to hurt you-"

"Stay back! Leave me alone!" Alec roared in his face and spun, tearing down the darkened alley, away from Alec.

Magnus started hopelessly after him, slowly reaching into his pocket for his phone. For the first time since Isabelle rang him after the accident, he opened a text.

To: Annoying sister of Blue-eyes

Don't contact me anymore.

She'd understand after Alec ran in, accusing Magnus of stalking, of lying... Of being a monster.

Hey guys.

I'll update a bit soon, I've actually sorted a plot for this story *bows, audience claps*

Have a great day kiddos.
