Alec PoV

I went straight to my room. I didn't want to see anyone or talk to anyone; especially not Izzy. I shut my door, happy dancing in my mind tah t ihad successfully avoided her.

I flicked the light switch and almost screamed. There was Izzy, sitting on my bed.

"Izzy. I am tired. We can talk tomorrow, okay?"

"Nope. I covered for you when mom and dad came in here and wanted to know where you were. Sit your butt down, Alexander Lightwood, and tell me what happened."

"I hate you Izzy." I flopped down onto my bed beside her and Izzy snuggledup to me, laying her head on my chest.

"Talk, Alec."

"Don't get comfy, Izzy. Nothing big happened. Me just made out."

She squealed, "Well?"

"Well, what? I'm not going to tell you how it was..."

"Why?" she demanded, grinning like an idiot. I wondered if she thought I'd be the one she could finally talk to about boys and relationships, the sister she never had. That made me feel bad all of the sudden, the thought that she was so alone, the only girl.

"Izzy...not now..."

"Just say it, Alec. Is Magnus good at kissing?"

"Very." I whispered, and she seemed satisfied because she said, "Fine, I'll leave you alone. Goodnight, Alec. I love you."

"Alec. Alec. Wake up. Alec!" I groaned, curling away from my mom's voice and burying my head in the pillows. It was too bright, too, too bright, I was so so tired...

"Alec. We are going to Idris. You need to be ready in the next hour."

"What?" The over my brain and body wasn't lifted quite yet.

"We. Are. Going. To. Idris."

"Why?" I turned toawrd my mother and was relieved not to see even more stress on her face, but to see light in her eyes.

"There was a new Shadowhunter baby born, an old friend of mine's, and I want to see her."

"Oh. Okay. I'll be ready."

Mom smiled and sat up from my bed, saying, "Now here comes the big challenge..waking Jace up." I snorted, knowing that was all too true.

I surveyed my room, thinking of what to bring. We'd probably take a portal, so I wouldn't need time fillers for the trip there like mundanes. After a moment of hesitation, I grabbed a week's worth of clothes, a mundie book Clary had told me to read, the MP3 player Clary and put the CDs(and some music I liked before) on, and a knife. Dad had surely gotten seraph blades ready for us, so I didn't have to worry about that...

I knew something was up with Izzy the moment I saw her. There was something in her eyes-some distress she was trying very hard to hide.

"Ma, where is the portal we are going to?"

"At a warlock's house...Magnus Bane is his name. We went to a party of his am onth or so back, do you remember? That was the night we couldn't find Alec for a moment." she laughed, totally unaware to the situatio. Totally unaware of the way my heart clenched at the name-for two different reasons. We;d have to act like strangers. And then, the other feelings Magnus's name sparked...

Izzy shot me a look-she'd known as soon as the portal was mentioned, I assumed. Smart Izzy. This was going ot be awkward.

"Ready, kids?" asked my dad, walking into the room with a seraph blade for all of us. I took mine numbly.

Izzy and Jace argued the whole way down, and today I couldn't even find humor in it. I was tired, for one, and it was wearing on me, my lack of sleep was. That was my excuse, at least, the lie I told Mom and Dad and jace when they commented that I was being even more disengaged then my usual quiet self.

We arrived at Magnus's house, and during the pause where everyone just stared at his door, I wanted so badly to reach out and knock, to be the first one walking through Magnus's threshold and into his loft.

To be the first one to lay eyes on his gorgeousness.

But I wasn't. I was the last, because I'd walked here trailing behind everyone else.

"Hello, Nephilim." greeted Magnus cheerily, but with an obvious "ew" connotated in the word Nephilim.

I felt more then saw his eyes rake over my body and take me in. I wanted so badly to pounce him, or at least freaking hug him, so it was close to impossible to keep my eyes off of him. He was so attractive, especially since I knew what was under all the glitter, make-up, and spiked hair. Not that the hair was too bad spiked...

"Okay, the portal is ready. It's in my bedroom, just come with me this way..." My cheeks flamed red and I bit my lip, glaring at Magnus. Could you move portals? Had he moved it in there just to see my cheeks redden? I almost wondered..

"Kay, let's go. Thank you, Magnus, we'll pay you when we get back, okay? Izzy, Jace, Alec, hold onto each other please."

"Moomm-," moaned Jace and she cut him off

"Hush. It makes me feel better."

Izzy giggled at our mom's overprotectivness but grabbed my hand, then Jace's, lacing our fingers together. her hand was o warm and sure, it helped unknot my embarrasment a little bit. Thankfully.

We stepped through the portal and I pictured Idris in my mind's eye, the absolute beauty and serenity of it, the way it felt like HOME in the way nothing else did. I turned back, ever so slightly, and saw Magnus grinned at me, his yellow eyes making him look very feline.

Magnus PoV

Research was not my forte. Ugh. I couldn't sit on the computer for more then 20 or 30 minures at a time, and it was hard to find real Shadownhunter information. I suppose I could go to the Institute now that the Lightwoods were gone, maybe the other Shadownhunters wouldn't find it as intrisve and suspicious.

I had found a few cases, but from what I read, it was highly frowned upon, I dare say taboo,but not technicallty illegal. but you better be squeaky clean besides that.

And you better not marry. That, like marying a mundane, was Bad. But we couldn't get married, anyway, we were both boys, Gay. I had a party planned for later today and planned ot try and bring up the topic with a group of very New Age werewolves to see if they knew anything. They seemed of the ilk to know about those kinds of subjects, they were very open to odd things. One of them, in fact, was gay, and I had helped him open up to it. So I had confidence that he, if no one else, would talk to me.

Sorry that's all for now! My living room where the computer is is so cold! lol. Hope you enjoyed (: ALSO If you all haven't you should read Bookworm24601's story it's City of Bones from Alec's point of view and it's amazingg (:
