* 10 *

Alec was back in the labyrinth. He'd just entered through the double doors which closed a moment ago but remained visible. Alec accepted the deal, much to Jace's disgust. He didn't trust Benedict, neither did Alec but what else could he do?

As the doors opened and before Alec went to run through them Jace stopped him.

"Let me mark you." Jace said and Alec knew which Rune he wanted to give him. "If that's alright with you?" Jace finished as he faced Benedict.

"It's your own time you're wasting Alec... By all means use your precious Runes, I know them all from that book, they will not help you."

Jace kept his smirk to a minimum. Apparently Clary was right. Going behind Alec he lifted his top and drew Fearless in-between his shoulder-blades. Alec felt it work immediately, thanked Jace and ran through the doorway.

Now he was alone and could really take in the horror Magnus had been facing. The vicious storm above violently exploded with electrical lightening as it swirled and twisted. Fearless was doing its job, but he noticed it wasn't as strong as it had been before. Not wanting to wait any longer he took out his blade, named it, and rushed through the maze.

It wasn't long before he faced one of his fears... Standing not far from him his little brother Max. He knew it wasn't him but Alec still stopped in his tracks when he saw him.

"Alec... Alec where are you?" Max cried out from the distance, tears falling from his eyes. Alec saw he was holding onto his glasses, one lens was missing while the other was cracked. "Alec I'm scared. I don't feel well, my head hurts."

Alec almost rushed to him until he saw Max rub his head to revel his hand covered in blood when he brought it back down.

"No..." Alec whispered to himself. "This isn't real, Benedict is messing with me."

As he went to turn Max screamed out in pain stopping him in his tracks.

"Where were you Alec! Why didn't you come back? Why didn't you save me?"

Alec gasped and tried to hold it together. This wasn't real, he had to go, had to save Magnus.

"You Faggot!" Max screamed at Alec as he turned his back on him. "You disgusting Queer! You choose that Warlock over me. Over your own family!"

Alec felt himself running, running hard and fast as he could away from Max. He knew it wasn't true, wasn't real but to hear those words... It hurt. He didn't know how far he gone when he stopped, not realizing he'd been holding his breathe as he punched the wall. Hard. Some of the brickwork had crumbled and Alec knew he'd broken one of his fingers.

Max was dead, nothing could change that and if he'd known Sebastian was Valentines son he'd never of left them alone with him.

After drawing an Izrate on his hand Alec noticed something else on his arm. Something crawling up his arm. Alec looked down and saw a black spider, a size of a dim on him. Reflexes kicked in as Alec swiftly wiped it away as it fell to the ground. Only then did Alec notice all the cobwebs around him and down the path he needed to take.

Alec hated spiders. Within the cobwebs were thousands of the little critters. All of which seemed to be eyeing him up. It also seemed as further down the web got thicker and dense while the spiders got bigger. It didn't take much to realize this was the way to Magnus. He was close.

Holding the blade in his hands Alec charged through, slicing the web with the full force of Raphael as the spiders made their descent upon him. The smaller ones were difficult to deal with as they kept on running and falling through his ripped shirt, feeling their legs all over his skin and the small fangs biting into his flesh. The pain was just bearable. The larger ones on the other hand were just plain evil.

When one flew at his face, it reminded him of that film Jace had made him watch with the alien hugging creatures. This was worse. Alec managed to slice the one in half along with the one after that and all the other ones that followed suit. Fearless was working overtime but Alec could feel it beginning to fade. It didn't help with the webs holding onto his body, his legs kept getting stuck along with his arms and even his hair. He really needed to get a haircut.

Caught off guard one of the bigger spiders jumped onto the back of his and sank his fangs in. Alec stifled his scream as he reached the thing, ripping it off of his neck and threw it into another spider. The pain was unbearable as he held onto neck as he tried to fight off the rest of the assault. He missed his footing and fell onto the ground, being tied up into the webbing as he fell. As he tried to free himself the spiders got to work tying him up with their webs. One of them grabbed his blade, pulling it away as another grabbed his hand and forced it behind his back.

Both arms secured behind his back while his legs were tied together tightly Alec struggled to free himself. He wasn't completely tied up in the webs which he was thankful for but his lower legs and arms had been and it was impossible to free himself. He knew he still had his steele on him but couldn't move his hands to grab hold of it. Alec realized then the spiders had stopped and hadn't attacked him since.

Moving onto his back and sitting up awkwardly he saw the spiders... Fleeing. He looked around watching each one run past him as fast as they could. Alec didn't have to wait long to see why they had ran. From a corner of the maze the most disgusting and monstrous creature came into Alec's view. It was a demon, a mutated demon with aspects of various spiders as its main body. The top half seemed to be similar to a man but no way was it human. The head had the same 8 eyes of a spider and they were pitch black as it's whole body was. All 8 of its eyes starred directly at Alec and it's legs charged towards him.

Alec tried as much as he could to crawl away as quickly as he could, using his feet to push himself back as far away as possible but he wasn't quick enough. In a second the demonic spider was upon him. 6 of its legs at either side of his torso, one just at the side of his face while another shoved itself in-between Alec's legs. Pressing hardly against his crotch.

Alec starred eyed wide at the demon, the greater demon, unable to move. Fearless had gone and now he was motionless, trapped and afraid.

"Alec, Alec, Alec..." The demon hissed at him. "You were doing so well, such a pity you won't be able to see Magnus again."

Alec managed to find the ability to speak. "Y-Your not real... This can't..."

The demon laughed. "Am I not little Shadowhunter..." He stroked Alec's face and hair with one of his legs making Alec tremble. "I am real, not an invention of your mind or of Benedict's. I am truly here." The demon finished as his other leg pressed harder in-between Alec's legs.

Alec gasped to the pressure being put upon him. "What do you want?" Alec tried not to let the assault get to him but it showed through his voice.

The demon knelt, moving his face closer to Alec's as he answered "I was somewhat curious into what Benedict was up to with that Warlock Bane and with you as well. I must say I am impressed we have the same tastes. I'd quiet happily have you all to myself."

With that the Demon moved it's leg, its tip of the leg dragging over Alec's crotch, then in one swift movement it slid down the waistband of his jeans, breaking through the zipper and ripping it open. Alec didn't hold back the scream.

The only thing that kept up his jeans was his weapons belt as the demon took hold of Alec and held him up high with its arms. Alec helpless dangled from his grasp as he looked into all 8 of its eyes and realizing they looked familiar. They looked liked Benedict's eyes. This demon was his father.

"So then Alec, what should we do first?"

This situation was getting worse and worse. First Benedict wanted to have sex with him and now his father had the same intentions. For once he wished he had Jace's strength he could've gotten out of this mess or at least had the right words to say back. Instead he starred back at the demon dreading what it had planned with him.

"Oh, I know what we can do..." It gleamed reminding Alec of Benedict's smirk. "Let's go find your Warlock. I'm sure we all can have some fun together." Alec went to protest till he was silence with the demons mouth upon his.

Alec screamed and tried to fight back but it was useless, it also became useless to scream when his own lips began to be sealed shut with webbing from the demon's mouth.

With his lips firmly sealed Alec was thrown over its shoulder as it started to make it's way through the maze. On the hunt for Magnus.

AN: This chapter, with Max was difficult to write and apologies for the feels... Trust me, I was almost crying when writing it!

Also this is the last update for today. The fiction is complete but I will upload the final 6 chapters tomorrow.

Hope you guys have enjoyed this. :)
