Sorry for the wait, and the shortness of this chapter. My Writer's Block is back, and I also haven't felt that great lately. A special thank you to HassleCastle for helping me! Oh, and I do not own any of Cassandra Claire's characters, or the song in this chapter, 'Nirvana' by Adam Lambert. If you have never heard the song, listen to it. It is beautiful.


Alec called weakly for Magnus. It had been nine days since Catarina had first visited, and she had come back every day. Alec wasn't improving, as she had hoped he would. In fact, he was doing the opposite. Alec had tried to eat again that first day, but he had thrown it back up, and had bent over the toilet for ten minutes after, gagging, his stomach trying to get rid of something it didn't have. It was awful. Alec hadn't eaten since, he didn't want more disappointment. Magnus was worried sick; he never left Alec's side. Alec was dying.

"Magnus," Alec called weakly. Magnus was at the window, worrying. He turned when he heard Alec, and walked over. He climbed in the bed next to the Shadowhunter, and Alec rested his head on Magnus's chest. He was breathing hard, his face twisted in a mask of pain. "Magnus, it hurts. More than usual. Could you sing to me?"

Magnus was surprised. He hadn't ever sung before in front of Alec. "What?"

"Sing to me. Please." Alec gasped. His chest hurt so much.

"Um…okay," Magnus sighed, brushing the hair out of the shaking Shadowhunter's face, and began:

"When the stars are too cold
Frozen over the glow
On the edge of the night
We can be their light."

Alec half smiled. "Your voice is beautiful."

"So give me more than your touch
And give yourself to the rush
Just keep holding my hand
As we're taking off
I know where we'll land

We can escape to a higher plane
In Nirvana stay
Where the dreamers lay
I'll lay you down lay you down
Safe on a higher plane
In Nirvana stay
Where the dreamers lay
I'll lay you down, lay you down."

Alec's muscles tightened, and he whimpered. Magnus realized something, and he looked up at Alec's heart monitor- there was something wrong with his heart. It was beating irregularly. Magnus frowned, piecing everything together- Alec's chest pain, his shaking...two words screamed at him:

Heart attack.
