This is a chapter from Alec in Normal Land but it was changed slightly so you should still read it to refresh your mind.


Mundane Alec Pov- I opened my eyes and looked around ignoring the throbbing of my head. Why in the hell did I let Jace convince me to walk on a subway train railing in the middle of the night? "Alec! Alec can you hear me" Jaces voice came out of the darkness.

"Yeah…" I said and frowned when I heard my voice echo. Sitting up fast I looked around and was surprised to see I was in a hole. "Jace where are you" I asked looking around now completely scared. "I'm up here. Alec; use your Witchlight to make it bright so I can find you."

I blinked confused. "What's a Witchlight?" I looked down at my hand and seen that I was holding a small rock. When I held it up it glowed bright.

"Great I can see the light. Now tell me if the demon is down there with you." I froze "T-the what?" I turned and screamed seeing a huge creature with horns and fangs.

"Alec what's wrong" Jace yelled. I climbed up all the rubble and rocks and made it to the top of the hole. Jace grabbed my arm and pulled me up. "Why did you scream like that? It's as if you have never seen a demon before."

I looked at him and glared "because I haven't!" He backed up and put his hands up "Sorry didn't know it was your time of the month." I glared at him and went to yell but stopped and looked him over. He wore all black, leather in fact, and he had all these weird markings on his arms.

"What's up with your clothes and those markings?" He looked himself over before looking at me "Did you hit your head or something? You're wearing the same thing and have the same marks; which are called runes; remember?" I shook my head and looked around "No I do not remember and what the hell was that thing down there?"

Jace frowned and grabbed my arm "Come on let's get you back to the Institute." I was beyond confused as he pulled me out of the subway and down the street. As we walked I looked around and everything looked about the same to me. So why was Jace acting so weird and why was I in a hole? There's no way that impact from my fall could have made a hole or damaged my brain.

We stopped at a church that was standing where my apartment should be. "What is a church doing here" I asked shocked. "We live here moron. Wow you must have lost your memory or something."

He pulled me into the church and into a large elevator. "Why is there a church here? Where did our apartment go?" Jace let go of my arm and pushed a button on the elevator wall.

"Okay Alec; tell me everything you remember." I leaned on the wall thinking. "Well I am Alexander Gideon Lightwood; I'm an honor student at Idris High School and my boyfriend's name is Magnus Bane. I have a best friend name Camille and my parents… well I don't like to talk about that."

Jace watched me like he was sinking in everything I said. "Right… well you got your name right so you get a cookie. As for that other junk your way off. That all makes you sound like a mundane."

I scratched my head confused "What's a mundane?" The elevator door opened and he grabbed my arm again pulling me out of there and down a long hallway. "You do not go to High School, you are a Shadowhunter and you fight demons and Downworlders to protect Humans. Camille is not your best friend; she is an evil vampire queen and Magnus Bane is no longer your boyfriend because you broke up last month. Though you still never told me why"

I stopped frozen in my tracks. "Wait what? M- Magnus and I broke up? That can't be true I just saw him yesterday and we were perfectly happy."

I remember it so clearly. We were at the café all day yesterday drinking coffee and talking. I was going to finally tell him I loved him but I never did. "No you broke up a month ago and have been sitting in your room moping for days. I had to drag you out to patrol last night."

What the hell does that mean? He stopped at some big doors and opened them before pulling me into the room. From the look of the huge shelves of books and map I take it this place is a library. "Jace why were you and Alec out all night" A familiar voice asked from behind us.

I turned to look and froze seeing my mother standing there. She was wearing some kind of fighting gear and her hair was braided. Besides her appearance there was something else about her that was different. I could feel a hardcore atmosphere around her that said she was pissed off.

My sweet mother that always looked like she could break with a poke in the arm was standing there all bad ass; waiting for an answer to her question. "We were patrolling all night and found a demon in the subway but… I might have over done it and made the demon land on Alec and plunge him into a hole." I glanced at Jace then looked at my mom again terrified when she yelled "Plunged him into a hole!" I have never in my life heard my mother yell.

"He's fine…. But his memory is a little jacked up. He can't remember his life as a Shadowhunter. He thinks he's a stupid mundane." I glared at him "Can you just say human like a normal person?"

My mom frowned and looked me over. "This is bad." She thought for a long time before smacking me across the head really, really hard. "Mom that hurt!"

She crossed her arms across her chest. "Do you remember being a shadow hunter?" I shook my head no. "Hitting me on the head is a stupid way to think I could get my memory back! Not that I have anything I forgot because I am not a shadow hunter!"

She glared and held up her hand "Do you want to raise your voice at me again?" I shook my head fast. "No I rather not." She nodded putting down her hand "that's what I thought."

Izzy walked in with Clary "maybe we should take him to Magnus. Maybe he can help." Jace looked at them frowning "I don't know maybe we shouldn't… there break up has been rough on Alec. I don't think Magnus will want to see us."

I looked at him "No I need to see Magnus. I need to find out what happened. I want to go alone." I turned and ran out of the room sprinting down the hall as fast as I could. Jace frowned and ran after me trying to catch me before I could get on the elevator but I got on and pushed the button before he could catch up. I had to do this on my own; I had to find out what happened.

I stood in front of the apartment building that I knew like the back of my hand. I came to this apartment every day and spent every waking moment here. It was as if I lived here myself. If my memory was right Magnus hides an extra key under the mat in front of the front door.

I searched around for the mat and when I finally found it; I searched it and found the key. "That's my Magnus." Taking the key I walked up to the building and used it to open the door. I walked up the stairs and went to Magnus's complex now really nervous.

What had happened to make Magnus and I break up? Was it something I done? Hesitantly I knocked on the door holding my breath until I heard the sound of footsteps coming to the door. It opened and standing there was my beautiful Magnus Bane.

He was everything I remembered. Black raven hair that sparkles from the loads of glitter applied to it. Outrageous clothes that make it look like he got rainbows thrown up on him, and his face; oh his beautiful face.

"What are you doing here Alexander" He asked his voice cold. I frowned looking into his strange cat eyes. Magnus has never been cold to me. We tell each other everything and there are no secrets behind us. I know everything about him even his drama with his dad.

"I… I need to know what happened. Why did we break up?" He glared "Are you insane? Do you think this is funny?"

I shook my head "no I don't. Nothing is funny about this Magnus. Yesterday we were sitting in a café making out to the sound of the cheap band and now I find out we broke up. I can't take not knowing why!"

Magnus took a good look at me; his eyes studying me carefully. "You're not lying… In fact, you're not my Alec at all. You're from another world." I frowned; thinking.

"Maybe I am. I don't know anything about shadow hunters or these markings on my arm. I don't know what the hell that monster was in that hole. I don't belong here."

Magnus nodded and opened his door more. "Come in Alexander." I nodded and walked in following him into his living room. This is like the first time I have walked through the door without making out with him all the way to the couch.

"If you're here where is the real Alec" Magnus asked walking up to his huge book shelf. "I-I don't know…" I looked around his living room and was shocked by what I saw. This place was nothing like my Magnus's at all. There were book shelves everywhere and spell books all over the floor.

He had leather couches and chairs that had glitter all over them. He also had a fat cat lying on his couch. Magnus snapped his fingers and blue flames sparked out of his fingers before the huge fire place formed blue fire. "Guess we will have to see."

He grabbed a big spell book before sitting on the couch. "Sit in front of me and put your hands on this book" he said as he opened to a certain page. I nodded and placed my hands on top of the page and as I did the pages glowed bright. It soon busted out of the book and like a projector it showed video of myself.

I was at Magnus's apartment and he was holding me. I looked up at this Magnus who just watched; his eyes full of dread and regret. "So… Why did you and the Alec of this world break up?" He closed the book hard before looking at me "we broke up because Alexander tried to turn me mortal behind my back and was in cahoots with my ex Camille."

I looked at him surprised. "Mortal? Does that mean you're immortal?" He nodded "I am a warlock; the high warlock of Brooklyn to be precise."

I looked down thinking. "So… you dated Camille?" He looked at me "you know Camille?"

I nodded "Yeah she's my best friend. Her and Magnus are always dragging me to the mall and trying to dress me up. She wants to give me red highlights and get me to wear weird clothes but I'll never let her get away with it." (Cough, cough) Magnus nodded and stood up "well this isn't the best time for Mundane Alec to be here. A war is coming and you do not want to be in the middle of it."

I glared "Everyone really needs to stop calling me that." He nodded and put the book away. "My Alec seemed to be getting very friendly with your Magnus." I frowned and glared somehow feeling jealous of him… or myself… I don't know what I should call it.

"How do you feel about it?" He shrugged "Alexander and I are broken up." I frowned and looked at him "why? I know he tried to make you mortal or whatever but he obviously loves you very much. He must have done it because he loves you."

He sighed "I know he did it because he loves me but he chose to take my life into his hands." I frowned. "That's not what it is at all is it? You were afraid that you were falling so hard for him. Have you told him anything about yourself or your family? Do you have problems with your dad like my Magnus does?"

He frowned at that last part. "No I have not talked to him about any of that stuff. And I highly doubt that your Magnus has a father that is a demon." I shook my head "No but Magnus always said he was like one." Magnus sat back down and looked at me "So have you ever been in love with Jace?"

I looked at him like he was crazy. "Ewe no he is like my brother. Why would I have a crush on him?" He smiled slightly "Because My Alec was madly in love with Jace even while we were dating. He also was in the closet for most of our relationship."

I flinched and looked down clenching my fists. "What are you in the closet to" He asked observing me. I shook my head no. "I have been out of the closet ever since I met Magnus at a high school party. I told my parents I was gay the very next day and I even took Magnus with me… but my dad got really angry. He ended up kicking me out of my house and out of the family. My poor little brother Max had to watch the whole thing and I'm not a loud to see him anymore."

That's when the thought came to me. "Where is Max in this world? I want to see him." Magnus frowned and scratched the back of his head "He… died. He was killed by an evil guy named Sebastian though his real name is Jonathan."

I frowned "Clary's brother?" He nodded "Yeah that's him. Do you know him?" I nodded "He is the ass of school and treats Jace like he's dirt."

I also dated him but I don't want to have to admit that. Magnus smiled to himself "Is he in love with his sister?" I shook my head "No ewe! What is up with the incest in this world?"

Magnus laughed and shrugged "Who knows at one time Jace and Clary thought they were siblings yet they were still in love with each other." I shook my head and stood up. "That's just crazy." I looked at him "So is there a way you can help me get back to my world?"

He stood up and nodded "We can go right now." I blinked confused then smiled "We? So does this mean you're coming with me?" He nodded "Don't think that it's because I want to be with my Alec it's just that I need to bring him back to this world."

I smiled and poked his chest "You just called him your Alec. That means you still like him" Magnus smacked my hand away "Don't be a fool. It was just a bad choice in words." "Oh of course it was" I said playfully.

He shook his head "wow you really are a mundane- I mean human." I stuck my tongue out at him before walking with him over to a wall. "We will have to go through a portal." I just nodded not wanting to bother asking what that was. He held up his hands and did some spells before the wall opened. "Wow" I said amazed. He grabbed my hand and squeezed it before walking into the portal pulling me with him.
