26. A ghost from the past

Magnus'POV

I looked down at Alec and stroked some of his black hair away from his face. He looked so peaceful when he was asleep. His lips were parted and he moaned from time to time, mumbling a few words I couldn't understand. I smiled and slid my finger down his cheekbone and jaw line, all the way down to his throat. I could feel his pulse underneath my fingertip. I touched the golden chain around his necklace. It was cold.

"Mmmm…", Alec rolled over and his blue eyes fluttered open. "Magnus?" I smiled and sat down on the bed, next to him.

"Hey you", I said. He smiled and blinked the sleep out of his eyes. He leaned up on his elbows and sighed.

"God", he said and let a hand run through his hair. "I had such a nice dream."

"What was it about?" I said and stroked his hair.

"It was about you and me", he said and sat up completely. "We were in London. And you were working as a cook and I went to college there. We had our own apartment and it was all perfect." I kept stroking his hair and smiled. I wish it could be like that. All perfect. But it was far from perfect. Everything was far from perfect. Nothing was perfect. Not for me at least. My life was a mess; it always had and always will be. I always thought when someone special came into my life it would stop. Everything would be close to perfect. But even that I had screwed up.

"Magnus?" I blinked and saw Alec's blue eyes stare at me. "Are you okay?"

"Fine", I said and shrugged. Alec leaned in and kissed me. He gave me a few small pecks on my lips and pulled away with a blush on his cheeks.

"How about now?"

"Better", I said and laughed. "So much better." Alec bit his bottom lip and blushed harder. His eyes glanced down my body. Down, my naked chest and abdomen. He reached out and touched my chest. I shivered at the feeling. Alec kept his eyes down, looking at every movement his fingers did as they traced my body.

"You're so beautiful", he whispered and stopped when his fingers reached my hipbone. The words were like a song to me. He said them the way my mom used to. A way that made me believe it. Every time someone else had called me that, it felt like a lie. It felt like a thing people just said to get close to someone or into bed. "Do you know that?" I gasped for air, not realising I had been holding it back. I smiled and shook my head.

"I know now", I took his face in my hands and gave him a quick kiss. "I know now." I glanced down at Alec and saw that the duvet covered his abdomen. I smirked and slowly removed the silky fabric. Alec gulped and looked down, watching the fabric slowly reveal his beautiful V and what it was pointing down at. I smiled, when I saw his erection peeking up at me. I heard Alec sucking in a breath. I touched the head, leaking with pre-cum. I slowly grabbed the erection and bend down, kissing the head.

It tasted sweet, just like Alec. I licked the slit and I felt him shiver. I started to pump up and down slowly, as I swallowed the leaking head. Alec moaned and his head was thrown back. He grabbed the sheets hard with one hand and the other one went into my hair. I grabbed him hard at the base and I heard him moan my name and his grip tightened in my hair. I swallowed the rest of his cock, down to were my hand was and went back up, nice and slow, grazing my tongue along the erection. I licked my lips and removed my hand. I glanced down at him and saw him stare at me.

"Can I ask you something?"

"God, anything", he moaned.

"Fuck my mouth?" And I was surprised how nervous I was when I asked. I licked the head playfully and let my tongue slid over it. I closed my lips around it and went down slowly. I tipped my head to the side and took it all in, all way down to the base. Alec gasped and his grip tightened in my hair.

"Like this?" Alec asked and he grabbed my hair and pulled me up and down. I moaned in surprise and grabbed the sheets. He did it again, but this time slowly. He arched his hips up and I felt him hit the back of my throat. I shut my eyes close and felt a tear run down my cheek. "Tell me if I'm hurting you." I nodded and swirled my tongue around his cock, as he pulled my head up.
He did it over and over, in different paces. And I knew as he started to moan and arch his hips up frequently he was getting close. He pulled me off and as soon as my lips made a pop, he came all over my face. I blinked in surprise and licked my lips, tasting his sperm.

"Sorry!" He blurted out and took the edge of the sheet and tried to clean my face.

"Oh honey, that was so much more than I asked for", I said and took the sheet, cleaning the last drop. "Didn't last long-" Alec hit me on my shoulder. "- But it was hot." Alec glanced down as he saw my own erection. He leaned forward and kissed me. He pushed me backwards and I fell down on the bed. He kissed my jaw line and throat and I felt his hand slide down the side of my stomach. He kissed my chest. His hand went to my inner thigh and spread my legs apart. I moaned and bit my bottom lip, and touched his hair.

"Oh God, Alec", I moaned. I felt him smirk against my chest and licked my nipple. His hand stopped making circles on my inner thigh and went up to my erection.

"Not God", he said and took a hold of my erection. "Just me." He started to kiss down my stomach and each hipbone. He leaned up and glanced at me. He let his tongue dart out and he licked the tip of my erection. I moaned and threw my head back against the pillow. He took the head and sucked it. I heard a pop and he licked his lips, before grabbing it hard and licking it up and down. I can't believe I actually let him do it, but I was so hard and I wanted this so bad. He took the tip in his mouth again and I felt his tongue swirl around the head, tasting the pre-cum. He slowly moved his head down, I heard him gasp and he went up again.

"I can't-" He blushed and scratched his scalp. "Erm, I don't know how to get all the way down." I smiled and took my hand in his hair. He blinked and started to lick the head again and took it in his mouth. It felt amazing even though his movements was hesitant. But it was warm and wet, and I loved the feeling. I pushed him down nice and slowly, and I felt him hum around me. I threw my head back into the mattress just as I moved his head to the side. Alec moaned and he hollowed his cheeks. I felt my erection going further and just like that I pushed myself all the way in. I gasped as I felt the head hit the back of his throat. I blinked and looked down, seeing Alec's blue eyes closed and I felt his tongue flicker around the sensitive skin. I bit my bottom lip. "Yessss… Alec… Swallow baby…" Alec swallowed and his throat tightened around my cock and I cried out. I arched my hips up and I was afraid that I was going to choke him, but Alec kept in position, licking and swallowing some more.

I clutched my hand in his hair, gasping for air. I was a moaning mess and I loved it. Alec went up and his tongue licked up my hard shaft.

"Alec… Oh, fuck!" My head flew up and I tightened my grip in his hair. "I'm coming… You don't ngh… stop, don't… holly shit." I tried to warn him, tried to stop him from letting me come. But he didn't stop, he went up and down faster and faster, and I felt my stomach tightened. I arched my hips up and let out a cry as I orgasmed. Alec stopped and I felt him swallow. Jesus, this was hot. His first blowjob and he didn't mind drinking me dry. Alec licked up towards the head and swallowed the head, sucking on it like a fucking lollipop.

"Alec… Whaaaa-aaah!" His tongue went over the slit and my body spasmed. A movement I couldn't control. Alec went up with a pop, and licked his bottom lip. I felt like coming again, right at the spot. I got up on my elbows, getting on eye level with the gorgeous blue eyed angel. Alec blushed and looked down.

"Was this better then, when I licked your finger?"

"Ohhhh", I laughed and shook my head. Yesterday, as he had licked my finger, I had faked my moans only to make him feel comfortable. Because it was an awkward situation, so if I pretended it turned me on, he wouldn't be shy. And it worked. Though, I think I stopped pretending by the end of it. But this, I didn't pretend at any point. It was amazing and releasing. He worked that tongue like a pro and he was incredible. I had been wanted an orgasm like that for a while, and it was worth the wait. "Baby, that was so much better." Alec smiled and crawled up, pushing me back down. He laid down against my chest and I felt his finger circling around my nipple.

"Good", he mumbled. He sighed and glanced up at me between his eyelashes. "I wish we could just stay here."

"We can", I said and touched his hair. "Though, I don't like you missing school. Specially when it's your senior year."

"How did you know?"

"I don't know… I just assumed", I shrugged and curled a piece of black hair around my finger. "You just seem like a senior to me and you're 17."

"Well I guess that's a good thing", he chuckled. "I wouldn't like looking like a freshman." I laughed and shook my head. Alec looked like an adult in my eyes.

"When do you turn 18?"

"In two weeks", he said and glanced down. "Why?"

"Just wondering."

"Because I'm legal when I turn 18?" He laughed and shook his head. I bit my bottom lip, because, well, that was part of the reason. But also because I wanted to know when he was truly an adult. When he would be free from his parents and all of this. He told me himself he would run away if he could and when he turns 18 he would.

"Part of it", I said. "But… I just wanted to know when I could expect you being on the run."

"From my parents?" Alec laughed and suddenly he bolted up. "Fuck!" He jumped out of the bed and ran towards his pants. I raised an eyebrow and got up on my elbows. I looked over at a confused Alec, and I was trying to hold back my laugh. He flipped his phone open and his eyes widened. "Fuck!"

"Why don't you come over here and we can make that happen?" I joked. Alec looked up and snorted.

"I forgot my parents. I forgot… I forgot Izzy is covering up for me", he walked towards me. "This is bad. Very, very bad."

"You forgot you parents?" I chuckled. "I must be good."

"Magnus", he hit me on my shoulder. "Be serious. This is serious!" He showed me the screen of his phone. There were 14 missed calls from his sister and a message saying that they knew she had been lying. 26 missed calls from his parents and a message from his mom saying she needed to talk to him.

"How could you forget? Alec, Jesus…"

"Fuck!" He jumped back and towards his clothes, fumbling with his pants. "I have to go. I have to clean up this mess." I sighed and got up walking towards my closet. I grabbed a pair of purple jeans and a grey shirt with a unicorn on the front. This were my lazy clothes.

"Why don't you call Izzy? See what's going on?"

"No", he shook his head violently and zipped up his pants. "I have to see her. I can't let her take the blame." I walked towards him and grabbed his shoulders. He jumped because of the contact and glanced up at me. His blue eyes were watery and as he blinked, a tear slid down his cheek. He sniffed and removed the tear with the side of his hand. He sighed and his head fell against my chest. He clutched my t-shirt and pulled me closer towards him. I touched his hair and I felt him shake underneath me. He was scared. He was terrified to go home. What if they did something worse then burning a cross into his skin? What if they burned him? My eyes widened and I shook my head. What the hell was I thinking? His parents were not going to burn him. Right?

"Errr… "I coughed and pushed Alec away slowly, holding him in front of me. He blinked and looked at me with a confused look. His eyes were puffy and red. "Maybe… I, err… I could go with you?"

"You-You would do that?"

"Yeah", I kissed his forehead and turned around, making a grimace. What the hell was I saying? I rolled my eyes and turned around, trying to make a composed smile. "That's what boyfriends are for, right?"

"Boyfriend?" Alec raised an eyebrow and smiled sweetly. "So… We're finally boyfriends?"

"We've been for while", I said and shrugged. "I mean at least for me. We've just been slow to put the label on us."

"Yeah, me too", Alec said and took my hand, seeming more relaxed. "Now, boyfriend. Let's go."

XxXxX

I got shivers as we neared Alec's house. It was huge, dark and scary. It reminded me of the houses in horror movies, where all the bad things happens. And when the characters entered, they were as good as dead. And I felt as good as dead when Alec reached for the handle. He stopped and glanced up at me.

"Are you sure?"

"Why wouldn't I be?"

"You've been quiet the whole trip over here and it looks like you're going to puke."

"I'm fine", I said and crossed my arms. "Open it and let's get this over with." Alec looked hesitant but he opened the door. There was a huge window right in front of us, letting in the sunlight and light up the hallway. Alec took a hesitant step forward and as soon as he did that, someone came from the right and folded her arms around him.

"Alec!" She shrieked and tightened her grip around him. "You came? What are-" She stopped and pulled away from him and glanced towards me. "Magnus?"

"Isabelle", I said and closed the door behind me. I hugged myself as I felt a cold breeze against my arms. "How are you?"

"Better now", she said and smiled and looked back at Alec. "I've missed you. I thought you would be back yesterday. And mom and dad started getting suspicious in the end. He knew, or he realised it in the end."

"Did he do anything to you?"

"No, dad never hurts me", she said and sighed. "You know that. I'm daddy's little girl in his eyes. He only talks to me. Just like he only talked to me about Simon that time." That time, must have been where Mr. Morgenstern had burned the cross into Alec's skin. Fucking prick.

"Right", Alec mumbled and he touched the spot, where the cross was burned, unconsciously.

"Soooo, you've been with Magnus this whole time?"

"Erm… yeah."

"That's nice", she said and looked up at me again. "I bet you thought it was nice."

"I thought it was pleasant to be more exact", I answered.

"Magnus!" Alec shrieked and turned to look at me. His pale cheeks were tomato red and he bit his bottom lip. "Don't talk like that in front of my sister."

"Oh relax Alec", she said and giggled. "I'm not that innocent." I raised an eyebrow and saw Alec roll his eyes with his cheeks getting a darker red shade. Isabelle laughed and looked back at Alec. They had the same laugh, the exact same laugh, and it was creepy in a cute way. She was beautiful, just like her brother. Her long black hair hung loose over a white dress. Her eyes were a dark brown and she had a small amount of eye make-up on. Her lips were red and beautifully shaped and naturally pouty.

"Izzy", Alec said and his tone was firm and he was getting his pale colour back. "Is… Is dad mad?"

"Dad and Mom are in the living room", she said and gestured towards the room behind her with her head. "And Valentine and Sebastian are here too."

"Valentine and Sebastian?" Alec blinked and sighed. "What are they doing here?"

"Valentine is dad's best friend and Sebastian is here because Clary is here."

"Clary is here?"

"Yeah, she's in my room with Jace", she took a step toward her brother and took his hand. "You're going to be ok, right?" I could hear the doubt in her voice but it was hopeful. She looked her brother in the eye and she tightened her grip on his hand. Alec opened his mouth to speak.

"Alexander?" A familiar male voice said. "Is that you?" I turned and looked at the same man I had seen the time I watched over Mr. Thompson's house. He was still as creepy as I remembered. His black hair was combed back and his beard was thick and black. His blue eyes widened when he saw me, and I knew he had recognized me. He looked me up and down, and he frowned. I couldn't help but cross my arms and just stare at him. Who did he think he was? Looking at me like I was a parasite, like I looked wrong. Alec looked at me and then back at his father.

"This is Magnus", he said and gestured at me. "Magnus Bane." Alec's father kept starring at me, not breaking eye contact once. I wanted to look away, because he freaked me out. And the fact he had the same eyes as Alec made me uncomfortable, because Alec's father's eyes looked at me in disgust. But I was not going to break down; I could win this stare competition.

"Isabelle go to your room", he said to Izzy but kept looking at me.

"But Da-"

"Now!" He yelled and Isabelle jumped where she stood. She glanced at her brother one last time, with a sad look in her eyes. She turned on her heels and ran up the stairs. "Alexander, follow me." Alec nodded and he took my hand hesitantly and walked after his father. I felt a cold shiver run down my spine. I should never have come. I was freaking out, and I have no idea why. But something felt wrong, like a bad memory was flushing down on me.

The living room was an old vintage room. The walls were a dark red colour, with pictures hanging on them. There was a painting hanging on the wall over the couch. It was a beautiful sea picture. The water was still and light blue. There was an island in the middle and the sun was red, yellow and orange, in different shades. And the sunlight spread out of the picture like fire. I gaped at the room, even though it looked old and dark, it was beautiful. There were two columns by the window with plants on top of each one. The leafs and branches were growing downwards, winding themselves around each column.

"Alexander", a female voice said and a woman jumped up from the couch and ran over to Alec. She pulled him into a hug, and I wanted to let go of his hand as I was pulled forward as well, but he kept a tight grip. "Where have you been?"

"I-I was at… erm," he pulled away and looked at me. "Mom, I need to tell you something." She raised an eyebrow and glanced up at me. She removed some of her black hair and suddenly she smiled.

"Is this him?" My eyes widened and I blinked in surprise.

"What?" Alec said and looked back at his mom. "You-you know? How do you know?"

"You father told me. I was worried sick about where you had been when we found out Isabelle had been lying. She had been covering up for you, because you were with this young man", she touched her son's cheek. "You father told me everything. He told me, he heard you and Isabelle talk about boys and you talked about a man you liked very much. So I assume this must be him." Alec blinked in surprise and I felt him stiff next to me. I wasn't sure if this was a good or bad thing. But his mother didn't seem to mind. She spoke in a firm but gentle tone, and she had been smiling.

"Father told you?" Alec's voice was harsh and he glanced towards his father. "Why would you do that? You had no right to tell mom about me! I was going to do that." He let go of my hand and walked towards his father. "Why can't you just stay out of peoples business?!" He suddenly pushed him and his father stumbled backwards, almost falling over his feet.

"Alexander!" His mom yelled. "What are you doing?" Alec kept looking at his father, and he shook his head.

"Have you been completely honest? Have you told the truth about yourself?" He asked and tilted his head to the side. "Or did you just tell on me?"

"What do you mean?" His mom asked and walked to her son's side. "What truth? Robert?" Robert sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"Alexander, don't be stupid. Don't try to make this-"

"This what, Dad? Don't you think mom have a right to know the whole truth?" He said. "The truth about what you did to me. What you let Mr. Morgenstern do to me?" Alec's mother gasped and looked at her son.

"What did Mr. Morgenstern do to you?" It didn't seem like she had to question whether this was true or false. Apparently, Mr. Morgenstern is famous for burning crosses into young boys skin or just being a psychopath.

"He wanted me to remember God, always", he took the edge of his shirt in his hands and pulled it upwards, showing the pale skin on his stomach. He tugged the hem of his pants down and right there on his hipbone, there it was. The symbol of Christianity. The cross was no longer swollen or red, it was like a scar and it mixed into the rest of Alec's skin. His mom gasped and touched the cross with her fingertips and looked up at her son. Her eyes were teary and she took her sons face in her hands and kissed him on his forehead.

Robert sighed and took a step forward.

"I did it for his own good", he said. "I was only trying to help him."

"Help him with what?" She asked and tugged down Alec's shirt. "I don't understand what he needs help with?"

"With this!" He pointed at me and Alec and his mom both turned to look at me. "This lifestyle. This thing. It needs fixing."

"You can't fix something that isn't broken, Mr. Lightwood", I said and crossed my arms. "And frankly I prefer to be called by my name. I'm not a 'this' or a thing. I'm a human being. And I like your son very much. And if you can't accept that, then I'm sorry. But I'm not going anywhere until Alec tells me to or when I know he will be safe from you and Mr. Morgenstern. So I guess you just have to deal with it, sir." Alec blinked in surprise and smiled. He blushed and looked back at his mom. She was blinking in surprise just like Alec, and she turned her gaze back to her husband.

"You let that man burn our son? Valentine had no right. He had no right to touch our son in that manner. And you just let him do that?" She shook her head and a tear slid down her pale cheek. "You let him hurt our son and now our son is afraid to even come home. What were you thinking Robert? What is wrong with you?" She covered her face in her hands. "And Alexander, you should have come to me. You should have told me. I'm your mother-"

"Yeah, but look what happened with Dad. I didn't want you to be like that."

"I'm your mother", she said again and took her hands down. "I will protect you. And I will understand you. I would never, ever, hurt you. And if that snake Morgenstern-"

"Excuse me, Mrs. Lightwood", a dark voice said behind me. "What's with the nickname?" I furrowed my eyebrows. That voice was so familiar. I turned my head slowly and looked over at the doorway. The dyed blonde douche was there, smirking like an idiot. Next to him was a tall man. He had white hair and his eyes looked greyish. He had a proud posture and a beautiful face.
His grey eyes turned to me and he looked at me in surprise. I breathed out, not realizing I had been holding my breath. He looked familiar, so familiar. His hand went up to his shirt and he touched a cross, and my eyes slid down. The cross was familiar too. Everything about this man was familiar. He smirked and walked towards me, like he could taste my fear. He placed a hand on my shoulder, and I froze. His touch was like a bad memory. And that's when I saw him in front of me. The priest, in his black clothes, his white hair and hands around my throat. The only man I feared more than my own father. My heart started to beat harder against my chest and I gasped, taking a step backwards. He was supposed to be dead. He killed himself. And yet, here he was, standing in front of me. Alive and breathing. Maybe the tales about bad memories coming back to haunt you, like a ghost, were true.

"Can I help you with something?" He asked and kept smirking.

"You", I gasped and I felt my heart stop.

Dun dun dun! So Magnus finally met up with the lightwoods and Valentine! And he finally get's to see who Valentine is and who his father was.
And we finally met Maryse... jesus, took a while! So any thoughts about this chapter? Maryse being a good mother? Robert still be a crappy dad? And Alec finally stepping up to himself and Magnus being a sweet boyfriend? *hearts

So here is a little snippet for the next chapter:

"Now, maybe we should get your precious boyfriend to talk, shall we", Mr. Morgenstern took a step forward and reached out a hand to touch Magnus's shoulder.

Review precious, and I will post a chapter we have all been waiting for! 10 reviews or something! Love you all!
And I'm off.
