I'M SO SO SO SO SORRRRRYYYYY!
Rodericks conjured red flames aiming at Magnus's back "I'm never going to let you win Bane" he raised his hand, ready to throw his magic when suddenly a vase came from his left side and hit his hand. The flame changed it's direction gracing Magnus's upper shoulder
"How dare you hurt my son?" the voice then threw a blade which hit straight at Rodericks heart
Magnus jerked in surprise, his body losing balance as he fell forward. He clutched his shoulder feeling a sharp stinking pain. Catarina stopped healing Alec and supported her friend. Everyone turned around to see Rodericks on the floor bleeding. Their eyes were now on the newcomer
Izzy gasped when she saw the person was none other than their mother Maryse Lightwood. The woman's eyes were filled with rage "No one gets away after hurting my boy"
Magnus panted heavily pain in his shoulder getting intense with each second. He had to do it now. Rodericks was weak and this was right moment to send him back to edom before he could attack again. The High warlock of Brooklyn swirled his hands and blasted his blue magic on the man. Rodericks screamed in pain and soon everyone in the room saw a red portal open that sucked the warkock inside.
"Magnus!" yelled Catarina as she saw her friend slip from her hold and collapse on the floor. Magnus was struggling to keep his eyes open, hand feebly reaching out for Alec. He was surrounded by Jace Izzy and Maryse who looked worriedly at him. Magnus wanted to stay awake and finish healing Alec but he couldn't "Alexand.." He was exhausted, hurt and was barely able to hear the chaos around him before his eyes closed without his permission and he surrendered to darkness
"Catarina do something" Izzy pleaded to the black woman. Catarina asked Jace to pick Magnus up and lay him beside Alec. She then started healing her friend "Magnus is hurt. He's lost so much of his power and energy...this injury is making matters worse for him" she looked at Maryse "Even though you manage to block a direct hit, his shoulder still got scratched"
"What are you waiting for? Quickly heal Magnus so he can wake my son" said Maryse. Izzy and Jace shared a confused look "Mom... how did you know?"
"Your mother contacted me" Catarina spoke "She has been in touch with me since Magnus brought Alec in this house"
"What?" asked a shocked looking Jace. Maryse looked away in shame. She knew her kids needed sn explanation but this was not the time "Please heal them...I'm begging you"
Catarina nodded and used her magic to heal both Magnus and Alec. She spoke after few minutes "I've done my best. Alec's wound is healed but Magnus..."
"What about him?"
"As I said before Magnus is exhausted. I've healed his shoulder but I cannot say when will he wake up. It might be today or... tomorrow" Catarina finished her sentence and saw wide eyes of all three Lightwoods in the room "No!"
Izzy clasped Catarina's hand "Wake him up! Magnus has to wake up. We're running out of time. Please do something"
"I'll keep trying but I can't promise anything"
A heartbroken Maryse sat down next to Alec with tears in her eyes. The mother slowly ran her hand on Alec's forehead "I had forgotten that I was a mother... Alec is my son. I...I made a mistake...a mother should be there for her child in good or worse but I..." she cried harder "I'm so sorry baby. Please forgive me" Izzy and Jace came around and hugged their mother
EVENING
Magnus was still asleep beside Alec and the wait was killing everybody in the room. They now had less than six hours before the curse on Alec would take his life away. Catarina tried few spells on Magnus so she could forcibly wake him but none of them worked
"I don't know what else to do" Catarina said feeling defeated "Magnus is too weak to wake up. I'm sorry"
Maryse clutched Alec's hand tightly "I can't loose my son. Not Alec...Please not my son. There has to be a way"
"There is!" exclaimed Izzy
All eyes were on the young girl who was smiling at them "We can make Alec drink the dreamcatcher potion that will lead him into Magnus's mind. I'm sure he'll be able to wake him...Magnus will listen to Alec"
There was a silence for few seconds
"Even if Alec is able to reach Magnus...how will can he help him. He doesn't have a clue what's going on in real world" Jace pointed out
"Yes but Magnus knows! He knows Rodericks attacked his house and hurt Alec" Izzy argued back
"Can we do that?" asked Maryse looking at Catarina with hope "Can Alec go in Magnus's dream?" Catarina looked unsure about the idea "I can't say for sure but we are literally running out of options. I think it's no harm in trying" she then ran past them to get the potion
Catarina made Alec drink the potion and this time she placed his hand on top of Magnus's "Let's hope this works"
MAGNUS'S DREAM
The moment Magnus opened his eyes, he found himself sitting on the edge of his favourite lake. He didn't know how he ended up here but the calm waves of the lake were soothing his eyes. Suddenly he felt a dull ache in his heart. He was missing something... something very important. But what? Magnus sighed feeling lost and looked at the sky above. The night was still young with moon shinning brightly. He could see it's reflection on the water and he smiled at the sight
"Magnus?"
Magnus whipped his head and saw Alec standing few feet away from him. A frown settled on his face and he slowly got up from his place "Alexander? What are you doing here?"
"Magnus what going on?" Alec crossed the distance and was now facing the warlock "What are we doing here...is this my dream?"
"I...don't know" Magnus looked as confused as the shadowhunter "Maybe we are still in dreamworld"
"Wait a minute...so this means...you didn't wake me up?"
Magnus narrowed his eyes. Ofcourse he was going to wake Alec but then something happened. He tried hard to remember his last coherent thought and his eyes widened "Alexander! You were hurt! Rodericks...he tried to kill you...I fought with him...I was healing you but then...your mother came and..."
"My mother!?"
Magnus nodded "She saved me..I think...I was hurt...I don't remember much after that" Alec checked himself. He felt fine so that meant Magnus had healed him. Alec looked around and then slowly connected the dots "Magnus this is your favourite spot"
"So?"
"I'm in your dream!"
"What?"
"Yes! Magnus you said Rodericks hurt you right? What if you are unconscious in the real world and are not able to wake me"
Magnus stared at Alec. If the boy was right and he was hurt then how will he kiss him and break the spell. He had to get out of here so he could wake Alec "I've to go"
Alec nodded "I'll wait for...the kiss" a small blush decorated his cheeks and Magnus ran his thumb on it "We'll meet soon" he backed away few steps and closed his eyes. He willed his body and mind to get out the lake but nothing happened. He clapped three times. Nothing happened. No matter how hard he tried, Magnus couldn't get out of his dreamworld
"Magnus" Alec called out feeling scared "What's happening?"
"I don't know Alexander. I can't seem to get out of here"
