A/N: I hope you're liking the story so far :) I have to admit that I am not quite positive about where this story is going to go yet, but I have many possible endings. Please review!

Chapter 11

Alec opened his eyes. He couldn't see a thing, wherever he was had no light whatsoever. It was pitch black and silent. All her could hear was a deep breathing from near him. He felt no fear. He had nothing to live for any more. Isabelle had Simon. His parents didn't care about him since Max had died. And Magnus had forgotten about him. The party was Magnus' excuse to find someone to get with.

He stomach churned at the thought that Magnus had got over him so quickly. Alec knew he would never get over him.

But then the realisation hit him. What did Magnus ever see in him in the first place? Alec was quiet, unfashionable, scared of admitting his feelings. Everything Magnus wasn't. He wasn't surprised that he had left him now. He had suddenly realised that Magnus had been leading to this for a long time, that he just didn't want to hurt him.

He buried his head in his arms and tried to ignore the deep breathing across the room.

Magnus closed the door to his apartment behind him. The house was silent now, and there was no sign that a party had finished only moments ago. He didn't notice that the weather had suddenly turned bitterly cold and his arms were bare and white. The street lamps gave his street an eerie illumination. He made his way towards the Institute.

When he arrived there Isabelle answered the door.

"Is Alec in?"

She looked confused. "No, I thought he was with you." Her face slowly turned from confusion to worry. Simon appeared from behind her and placed his hands around her waist. Magnus rolled his eyes.

"Simon, have you seen Alec?" Isabelle asked the tall vampire behind her.

"Nope, sorry man." He looked generally apologetic. "I hope he isn't out on his own," he added. "It's not safe at the moment." When he noticed the questioning expressions of Isabelle and Magnus, he explained. "Halloween? You do know about the Halloween vampires?"

Magnus' heart sank. Of course.

"Yes, I remember."

Isabelle impatiently glared at the two. "Explain? Why have I never heard of this? And why have you, Simon? It's not like you know more about the supernatural world than me. How long have you known about the downworlders? About a year?"

"Issy, I got told when I became a vampire, the Halloween vampires are a serious problem to us, to all of us." He looked worried. "Especially to you."

Magnus took over. "The Halloween vampires come out every Halloween, obviously. There are about 20 of them, all over the world." Magnus face twisted in anxiety. "They come out to hunt. And they have one specific target. They leave to bleed as many Shadowhunters as possible dry. They don't even turn them. They just kill."

Isabelle's face showed exactly what Magnus felt. Alec was out there somewhere. And so were the Halloween vampires.

Magnus turned and left Isabelle and Simon stood in the doorway of the Institute. He was going to find Alec. He was going to save his life. And then he would get Alec back.

A/N: Okay, I love Magnus and Alec. Review and let me know that you love them too :D
