Chapter 9: Danger

Magnus was getting ready in his own private room when he heard an almighty BANG! "What was that?" he wondered aloud. The noise was coming from Alec's room, had the taller figure that was working with Camille come back for him? Alec's in danger! Were Magnus's thoughts as he started to run out of his room, he didn't care what he looked like, that he was only wearing suit trousers and a pair of white trainer socks or that his hair was a complete mess with spikes coming out everywhere.

The noises were getting louder and there was a fair share of cursing as well, as Magnus approached Alec's door. Magnus was just about to push it open when there was another crash against the door, he tried to push the door but it wouldn't budge, either someone or something was up against it. I have to get in there! Alec needs me! Magnus thought as he took a step back and vanished in a whirl of blue smoke.

(...)

Magnus appeared in the cream coloured room, to find Alec pinned on the floor with someone on top of him, the sight of Alec in distress made Magnus forget to look to see who was pinning Alec down, all he could think of was helping him. He looked around the room for something to use to try and help Alec, but found nothing. So he snapped his fingers and a baseball bat appeared in his hand and engraved in the handle was a blue dragon; breathing blue fire. Magnus swung it and whacked it around the strangers head, there was a crack and the stranger fell to the floor. Now Magnus could see the strangers face, "Holy shit! What's he doing here?" Magnus said as the rush of adrenaline started to fade.

"h-he was trying to warn me off you" Alec panted "he was trying to tell me it wasn't the right thing to do for our family name! My own father doesn't want me to be happy!"

Magnus walked over to Alec slowly, trying to calm him with slow movements because Alec would still have adrenaline in him and Magnus didn't want to spook him. As soon as he had reached Alec, Magnus kneeled next to him and hugged him loosely until Alec closed the distance and tightly embraced him.

"You don't have to do this if you don't want to. I would understand" Magnus soothed while stroking Alec's hair.

"No I want to. I'm happy and I won't let him win. I will not abandon you just because my father doesn't agree. Screw him I say, if he don't like it he knows what he can do!" Alec said glaring at his unconscious father.

"Do you still want to get married here? In the institute I mean" Magnus asked wondering.

"Of course I'm not letting him get away with everything! He helped kidnap me with Camille" Alec said snuggling closer to Magnus, who still remembered when he wouldn't do that because he was uncomfortable with what he was and that he could lose himself completely but he had gotten a lot more comfortable since then. Magnus got jerked out of these memories by realising what Alec had just said.

"He did WHAT?" Is what Magnus said aloud but in his head he thought of course he was the taller figure; he is against me and Alec and always has been. Why hadn't I thought of this sooner?

Alec started to push Magnus away and Magnus just let him, there was no point in pushing him. Alec got up and walked around Robert but kept his distance as if he would wake at any point and grab him, when he got around his father he picked up the dressing table that had obviously been knocked over in the fight because it had a massive crack through the middle of the mirror, but Alec didn't seem to notice. Then he turned around and looked at Magnus who was still knelt on the floor.

"Can you help me get him out of here please? After all we have a wedding to attend and I have a feeling he" he pointed a finger at the still figure "won't be attending because, he is banned from it!"

Magnus just nodded and started towards Robert and took his legs, waiting for Alec to take his arms which he did eventually but Magnus could see the hesitation in his eyes and body language. You really blew it this time Robert! He hates you now! Magnus thought as he helped Alec drag Robert out into the hall way, where unfortunately Maryse was coming out of her room to see what all the commotion was about.

As soon as she saw Roberts limp body between Magnus and Alec, she screamed. Oh bother she thinks we killed him. Maryse ran over and looked at Alec with a question in her eyes, what happened?

"Oh by the angel, mother he's not dead!" Alec said in his mothers face, Magnus could swear he heard some regret in his words.

"What happened?" Maryse said trying to sound in control as well as fighting back tears.

"He came in trying to talk me out of this and then he confessed that he was involved in my kidnap with Camille!" Alec said trying to contain his anger.

"He wouldn't!" Maryse said but Magnus saw doubt in her eyes and apparently so did Alec.

"You don't believe that! He did and when he wakes up tell him he's banned from the happiest day of my life!" and with that Alec dropped Roberts arms, making his head bang on the cold concrete floor and turned on his heel and slammed his door behind him.
