Hi friends! A huuuuuuuge bucket full of thanks to all my awesome readers who are reading this story. On with the next chapter. Sorry for mistakes.

NEXT DAY
Alec paced around the room, his eyes darting again and again on the door. He so badly wanted to see Magnus again. The shadowhunter knew he would never be able to meet Jace or Izzy again as he did once asked Magnus if it was possible for them to come into his dream but the warlock denied his request. Magnus told him this potion was very powerful and that only warlocks were allowed to use.
The only thing that was keeping him from going insane in this lonely place was Magnus. He enjoyed spending time with the warlock who was so optimistic in life. Though Alec himself had accepted his fate, it was Magnus who wouldn't give up on him.
Alec eagerly waited for Magnus's daily visits but a part of him didn't want this. There was a change in his heart and it was because of Magnus. The warlock had no reason what so ever to help him yet he came everyday and talked to him for three straight hours.
Alec admired the warlock for so many things. He liked the way Magnus did his hand movements when he talked, waving them up and down, side to side with fingers swirling in the air. Alec liked when Magnus cheered him up with his old tales. He liked his unique dressing style. He liked the way he calls him by his full name. Alec felt his heart skipped a beat. This was wrong. He shouldn't be feeling this way. This weird feeling of...hope and want.
Alec wanted to live. But for who? Magnus? But...
Before Alec could think further the door knob turned and the shadowhunter smiled unconsciously. He quickly straightened his clothes and ran a hand to his hair as if Magnus had come to pick him up for their date. The door opened and Alec saw Magnus step in the room with a broad smile on his face "Hello Alexander" greeted Magnus and walked towards Alec who waved a Hi suddenly feeling shy. He didn't know why in the world he was blushing like a newly wedded groom.
"Okay I can't stop myself. This needs a hug" Magnus lurched forward and hugged Alec who stumbled but kept his balance. The shadowhuter shivered when Magnus's strong sandalwood scent reached his nose. The hug ended as soon as it started and Alec tried his best to hide his disappointment "Wh...Wht happened? Everything alright back there?"
"Yes all are fine. I got some good news for you Alexander" Magnus said excitedly
"Good news?"
"We've found a way to help you"
"What?" Alec's eyes widened
Magnus nodded "I could've done it today but didn't want you to panic when you suddenly landed in a different place"
"Different place?"
"There is a potion of charisma. It's brings out a person's desires and attractions. We'll make you drink potion and you'll end up in the place where your true love is" Magnus said it in one go and saw Alec gape at him "And you think it will work?"
Magnus gave a nod but Alec was still unsure "Magnus I'm stuck in this place from day one. How will I ever be able to get out. Even if I do get out how will I know... he..he is the one"
"Your heart will take you there Alexander. This potion is all about bringing out your feelings towards the person who is meant for you"
"But...how's this going to work? Will he be able to see me?"
"I'm afraid not. Physically we will still be in the real world but the potion will take our illusions to the place in the real world. Think of us like ghosts wondering in real world" explained Magnus
"Magnus..."
"Alexander you're gonna have to trust me on this one. We've to try. This might be our only chance" Magnus pleaded and Alec couldn't say no to him "I'll do it. I trust you"
Magnus sighed in relief "Thank you. Now tomorrow morning you'll be with the person who deserves your love. So stay calm and don't panic"
"You...Will you be there?" Alec's soft request melted Magnus's heart. He could clearly see the hesitation in those eyes. Magnus took Alec's hand in his "I'll be there"
Their eyes locked with each other. Alec felt relief wash over him. Magnus was going to be with him and that's all he needed to know. The warlock gazed into Alec's eyes with one thought that looped over and over again. This was going to get over by tomorrow. Alec will find his true love. Though it stunk at his heart, Magnus just wanted the boy to be happy and meet someone who would give him all the love he deserves "So let me tell you about my experience in nineteenth century"
NEXT DAY
Magnus took a deep breath and laid beside the sleeping boy. Jace and Izzy were standing near the bed with nervous look on their faces. All of them had the same question in their minds. Will this work?
Catarina asked Jace to open Alec's jaw as she poured few drops of potion into the shadowhunter's mouth. She then did same thing with Magnus, pouring his regular dreamcatcher potion "All the best" she whispered and saw her friend's eyes droop close
ALEC'S DREAM
Alec gasped when he felt the sudden change in his surroundings. One second he was in the building and before he could blink, the shadowhuter found himself in a...club?
Alec's first instinct was to hide himself from the crowd. He took few steps back and bumped into the wall behind "By the Angel...what is this place? Where am I?" he thought about asking someone but then remembered they can't see him. Magnus said...
Magnus!
Alec's eyes frantically searched for the warlock. Where was he? Magnus said he would be here with him then where was he? He couldn't do this alone. He needed him. The blasting music, the bright lights and the loud crowd was making him nervous. Never in his life did he ever go to a club or bar since he wasn't exactly a social kind of guy. People laughing, dancing and roaring infront of him for nothing... all the sound was overwhelming him.
Alec didn't want to be here. He wanted to go back to the building where he could be with Magnus again. He breath hitched and he felt suffocated. On the verge of panicking Alec suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder "Alexander"
Magnus opened his eyes and found himself...home. The warlock blinked again and again to make sure he was not hallucinating. The familiar sound of music, the very well known air and intoxicating smell of alcohol.. it had to be his home. Well technically his second home. Magnus couldn't believe out of all places Alec would find his true love here.
Magnus searched for Alec through the crowd. The smell of alcohol again reached his nostrils and Magnus sighed. He could so use a drink right now. He forced himself to focus and finally found Alec backed up on the wall. Magnus's eyes grew in concern when he saw how scared the boy looked. Even at a distance he could see him shaking. The warlock quickened his steps towards the boy and slowly placed his hand on his shoulder "Alexander"
On hearing his full name Alec flicked his eyes wide open "Magnus...Magnus!" he lunched and hugged the man with all his strength "You..you're here" Magnus smiled and ran his hand between Alec's shoulder blades "I told you I'll never leave you. Calm down shadowhunter"
When Alec relaxed, he abruptly broke the hug. A tiny blush crept on his face "I'm sorry. I didn't..I was...this is not my.."
"I can understand Alexander. You were alone for more than two weeks and then suddenly being crowded by people can be overwhelming. But you can relax. This place is safe"
Alec narrowed his brow "You know this place?"
Magnus nodded
"Where are we?"
"Alexander this is my club. You're standing in my Pandemonium club"
