Disclaimer: I do not own the Mortal Instruments novel series, or anything to do with it. I do, however, own the OC's and the plot.

Plot:MagnusxAlec. Sequel to Lady of the People. Magnus gets a phone call saying how his best friend and her husband have been killed in a car crash, and He and Alec are now their Godfathers.

A/N: Just to tell you, I have decided to add some AlinexEvenett into this story. Luv you all!

Magnus looks at Evenett with wide eyes, shaking his head slowly. He spins around to look at Alec, who is focusing on Emily's sleeping form. He slowly backs out of the room, not able to completely register what is going on. Sighing, Alec places Emily back into bed, pulling the covers over her. He nods his head towards Evenett, and walks out of the room, following Magnus. He takes Magnus' hand and leads him into their bedroom, leaving the group of Shadowhunters in the living room questioning. As soon as they are in the bedroom and the door is tightly closed behind them, Alec draws Magnus into his arms, stroking his hair. Magnus is silent for a short while, then a sob bubbles up his chest and through his throat. Alec whispers to him, soothing, as Magnus grips onto him and cries. Magnus looks up at Alec, his eye makeup staining his face. Alec smiles softly at him and uses his thumbs to wipe away the black-tinted tears. Magnus hiccups, and sniffles.

"Since when did we switch roles, Alec? Since when have you started taking care of me?" Alec chuckles deeply, the corners of his eyes crinkling as he smiles at him. Just at that point did a fear swell and expand in Magnus' chest, just as he realizes that Alec is starting to get older, and that he will soon outlive him and Alec will die. Alec notices the change in Magnus' expression, and he tips his face towards him.

"Magnus, please don't cry." He leans down and presses his lips to Magnus', and his whiskers scratch at Magnus' soft skin. Magnus replies with the softest of pressures, and Alec pulls away.

"You do know that we have to do what Evenett has told us, don't you?" Magnus' face contorts in pain, and he looks away, tears coming to his eyes once more. Alec walks him to their bed, and he sits him down.

"You relax. We'll deal with everything."

************************In the Living Room*******************

Evenett walks out of the girls' bedroom, and walks towards the group of Shadowhunters. He turns to look at Aline as he puts his now-dry hair into a ponytail, and winks at her. Aline blushes a pretty little shade of pink, and Evenett smiles, deepening her blush. He looks towards the rest of the Shadowhunters, and slowly explains everything. Jace looks towards the floor, wringing his hands.

"We have to kill her?" Before Evenett can say anything, there is a collective gasp from the group, and most of them stand up with their stele in their hands. Evenett turns around and spots Louis. Louis has a dark expression, and he growls deep in his throat.

"You will not kill her, Even. Do you even realize what I'm doing?" He snaps off the end of the sentence, just as his sword appears in his hand. The bedroom door opens, and Alec walks out, closing it behind him. He stops in his tracks as he turns around, seeing Louis. He reaches to grab his stele, when Louis turns around and thrusts his sword through Alec's chest. Pulling the sword out, Louis disappears, and the Shadowhunters surround Alec. He is gasping for air, blood gurgling out of his mouth and wound with an audible sound. Magnus hurries out of the room, and sits Alec in his lap, placing a hand on the wound. He knows that no healing will help him, and so he looks towards Evenett. Evenett looks Magnus in the eyes, and draws a deep breath.

"Magnus, we are going to need the help of the Ancients." When he gets only a confused expression from Magnus, as well as the attention of the Shadowhunters, he continues, "You have always thought me the oldest living warlock alive, Magnus. But there are more, in a society. We will need to ask them for help."

Review, please! Lol, cliffhanger, much? Do you love me yet?
