Hello, lovely people! Here is the next chapter, hope you enjoy! :)

Just then, the intercom buzzed. Magnus walked over to do his usual "who-dares-disturb-the-high-warlock" routine, when Alec ran past, hitting into him to get the door.

"What the hell?" yelled Magnus.

Alec flung open the door. There stood a very bleary eyed Isabelle.

"Where are my pancakes you mother fucker?" Izzy demanded angrily. "You dragged me out of bed so I want pancakes!"

Magnus tutted. "Language, Isabelle. Set a good example for Christopher."

Izzy stormed into the kitchen, muttering something about showing Chris a good example of stabbing someone through the head.

She flopped down onto one of the chairs and grabbed a pancake, eating it slowly.

"Hey Izzy." Chris said sleepily.

Isabelle reached over and ruffled his hair. "Sup." she sprayed a mouthful of pancake all over the table.

Magnus grimaced. "Nice." He snapped his fingers and the chewed up pancake disappeared.

"So what's planned for today?" Izzy asked, making sure she had swallowed all the pancake before talking. (It sounds so wrong... Hehe)

"Well," Magnus announced. "I for one would quite like to go back to sleep."

Jace gave a noncommittal shrug, while Alec just answered, "I don't mind. Whatever anyone else feels like doing."

Magnus headed back to his bedroom. "I'm going back to sleep. Goodnight." He slammed the door behind him.

"Well, that's one of us sorted then." Alec sat down. "What about the rest of us?"

Before anyone could answer, Izzy's phone went off. She pulled it out of her pocket and checked the caller ID.

"Mom." She said before putting the phone to her ear. "What's the matter?" She asked, her face contorted into an expression of worry. Her face fell. "We'll be right there." She hung up and pushed the phone back in her pocket. "We've got a couple of Achaierai demons to deal with." She stood up quickly, grabbing Jace and running for the door. "Meet you at the Institute in ten?" She asked Alec. He nodded back briefly before heading to the bedroom.

"What's going on?" asked a confused Chris.

"I have to go and fight some demons. It's sort of my job, I suppose. But I'll be back later. You've got Magnus to look after you, you'll be fine. Wait a sec, I've got to get into my gear." He ran into the bedroom, closing the door behind him.

Magnus was half asleep when Alec came in. "What's going on?" He pushed himself into a sitting position.

Alec was rummaging through the wardrobe. "We've got an emergency with some Achaierai demons." He looked at Magnus. "Nothing we can't handle." He found his gear and quickly pulled it on. He approached the bed, kissed Magnus quickly and said "I'll be back later, okay?"

"Please be careful." Magnus held his arms and looked him in the eye.

"I will." He pulled himself from Magnus's grip and left the room.

Magnus heard a "see you later Chris" and a door slam. And he was gone. Just like that. He lay down again, pulling himself under the covers. He felt like he wanted to stay there for the rest of his life, to not move or speak to anyone again.

"Magnus?" A faint voice came from the doorway. "Can I come in?

Magnus unwrapped his head from the duvet. Chris was stood there, peering round the door frame. Magnus smirked at him. "Sure." He patted the bed next to him. Chris sat down. "So what's up?"

"You're worrying me." Chris admitted.

Magnus looked puzzled. "Why am I worrying you?"

Chris sighed. "Well, you seem really unhappy whenever Alec needs to go somewhere and you can't come with him. But this time, it seems worse. You're acting like he's not going to come back. He is going to come back, isn't he?" Chris looked on the verge of tears.

Magnus pulled Chris closer and held him tightly. "Of course he's going to come back. I just worry in case something happens to him, that's all. I couldn't bear it if he got hurt."

Magnus knew what he was saying was a lie. Not all of it, but some of it. It was true that he wouldn't be able to bear it if something happened to him, but he could never guarantee that he would come back.

"Brilliant." Magnus mumbled. Now all he could think about was if Alec didn't come home. What if he died out there, and he didn't know about it?

Something inside him told him he would know about it, he'd feel it if Alec died. But he couldn't be sure.

For all he knew, when Alec went demon hunting, he might never see him again.

"Come on." Chris said softly. "Let's take your mind off it." He took Magnus's hand and tried to pull him out of bed. "Come on!"

Magnus sighed, peeled back the duvet and allowed himself to be led by Chris into the front room. "What did you have in mind exactly?"

Chris looked at him in confusion for a second. "I don't know, you decide. You're the one who needs to be distracted."

Alec normally distracts me, Magnus thought, smirking. "Well, let's put on a film then."

"Can we watch the Wizard of Oz then?" Chris asked hopefully.

Magnus would have preferred to watch Gilligan's Island, but it was whatever kept Chris happy, he supposed.

"Sure." Magnus grabbed the DVD box off the TV cabinet and pushed the disc into the DVD player. He flung himself at the sofa. The movie began to play.

It had got to the part when Dorothy was singing "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" when Chris suddenly spoke and startled Magnus.

"You live in the rainbow." He laughed.

Magnus smirked at him. "Indeed I do. At least I don't live in the Emerald City."

Chris pretended to sulk. "I like the Emerald City!"

Magnus was about to make a clever comment when his phone rang. He pulled it out of his pocket and checked the caller ID. It was Izzy.

"What's wrong?" Magnus panicked, instantly fearing the worst. "Is Alec alright?"

Izzy was crying now. "Magnus, he's been injured. Really badly injured."
