Alec stood waiting for Malachi in a vacant lot. It had been a month since Magnus's death and 2 weeks since Alec had last seen Malachi.
" You this is a crime, you know, young master Lightwood." Alec turned to see Malachi coming across the lot.
" Bringing someone back from the dead is illegal, without the Clave having agreed." Alec sighed and Malachi laughed, and said,
" Of course, I think crime pays! The hours are good, and you get to travel a lot!" Alec almost laughed, then he remembered why he was here.
" Let's just get on with this Malachi, I want Magnus back as quick, and as quietly as possible." Malachi bowed.
" Of course, did you bring what I asked?" Alec reached into his bag and pulled out somethings of Magnus's. Malachi had told him that he need some thing's that Magnus cherished, so Alec had brought the essentials; a scarf, Alec had given him that, chairman meow, (don't worry just some hair!) some bubble wrap and glitter. Malachi laughed at the objects, his brother was so funny sometimes. Then Alec brought out Magnus's favorite brush, he took some hairs from it and handed them to Malachi. Malachi wasn't all to happy about that, but he was getting paid for this so he was happy. Malachi let out a small whimper, remember that the money no longer mattered after tonight. Alec looked at Malachi, who seemed to be on the brink of tears.
" Is there something wrong, Malachi?" Malachi blinked a few times to rid himself of these silly tears.
" No,no. I'm fine." He said choking back the tears. He straightened his back and said gruffly,
" Let's get this started." Alec nodded and stood off to the side as Malachi put Magnus's stuff in a small circle and stood in the middle. Alec cocked his head and stared intently at Malachi. Malachi closed his eyes and raised his hands, gracefully. His eyes sprang open and from his hands came a sudden burst of energy. Malachi gritted his teeth already feeling a pain in his side. The wind was picking up and blowing their hair around.
" Alec!" Malachi yelled over the wind,
" What?" Alec yelled back confused, was something wrong?
" What do you think the greatest of evils is?" Alec was surprised, but to him the answer was clear,
" Death!" Malachi smiled and nodded, but let out a scream as another piercing pain ripped through him. Alec made to help him, but Malachi barked,
" No! You mustn't help! Unless you want to die as well!" Alec was plainly confused.
" I know the rules Alec, a life for a life! The one performing this magic must give up his or her life for the one coming back!" Alec paled. He had known that, but in his sadness and excitement he had forgotten. Magnus's belongings started to levitate and spin around Malachi. As they started to glow, the wind grew louder. The objects the flew suddenly into Malachi! Malachi screeched in pain. Then, everything grew quite for a moment. Malachi smiled weakly at Alec,who had tears running down his face.
" Alec." Malachi said softly, Alec nodded,
" Death is not the greatest of evils; it is worse to want to die, and not be able to." Malachi coughed, and blood came up. Alec's eyes widened, Mariachi's last words were;
" For death begins with life's first breath, and life begins at the touch of death, Alexander Lightwood."
Malachi screamed and disintegrated. Alec was tossed a few feet with a sudden great force. Then, for Alec, everything went black.
" Alec, dearest?" Alec sat up suddenly, looking around. Magnus pulled back, smiling. Alec cried out with joy and grabbed Magnus in a bear hug, almost tackling him to the ground.
" Well," Magnus said surprised, " looks like someone missed me!" That's when Alec started to sob hysterically. Magnus held him tight, while Alec told him what happened.
" So, Mariachi's dead?" Magnus said, curiously. Alec nodded, looking up at Magnus sorrowfully,
" I'm sorry Magnus, there wasn't anything I could do for him." Magnus laughed,
" Don't be sorry Alec." Magnus hugged Alec again,
" Malachi wanted to die, he just didn't have the courage to do it, but I guess bringing his baby brother back was a good enough reason!" Alec smiled, then frowned and asked,
" Magnus?" Magnus smiled and replied,
" Yes?" Alec snuggled into him.
" if I asked you to marry me right now, would you say yes?" Magnus was blown away, then said
" Of course I would." Alec then brought out a small box, inside sat a ring. Magnus's smile grew bigger as Alec slipped the ring onto his finger.
" Well," Magnus said cheerfully, helping Alec up off the ground,
" I think we better start planning a wedding." With that Magnus and Alec headed off into the dawn of a new life.
