A/N: I apologize in advance about the long absense. I've sort of had writers block for this story but now i know what direction I'm going to be going in and start leading it to a close before I start to work on the sequel. I hope you all enjoy.
Sorry again for the long wait and sorry this chapter is kinda short.
Also the reason Magnus didn't wake was because of a spell was put over him. Sort like with Jocelyn.
Chapter 24:
"Alexander, we were just talking about you," Valentine smiled. "Guess all we had to do was say your name three times and you would appear. Funny how that works."
"Let him go," Alec demanded stepping towards them.
"A ah ah, one more step and the baby gets it," Valentine held up a dagger. "We wouldn't want that now would we?"
"You wouldn't hurt an innocent child Valentine. That's not you…" Alec shook his head.
"Clearly you have a higher opinion of me than I thought," Valentine chuckled.
Alec looked at Magnus. He didn't look harmed; he didn't look to conscious either. His ankles and wrists were tied together, his head tilted to the side, eyes closed. He needed to get Valentine away from him so Jace and Izzy could get Magnus out. That was the main plan.
"I haven't hurt him," Valentine said breaking his concentration. "I did give him a sleeping potion. Very strong one at that, he won't wake for at least a few hours or so. Plenty of time to do what I need to do."
"I am not letting you take our baby."
"Just have another one. I'm sure he's very fertile."
"You can't just take our child and expect us to forget and just have a new one to replace the one you took. People do not do that Valentine. I will not put Magnus through that. I would rather die than let anything happen to him and our baby."
"Death? If that is really the way you want this to play out, I have no objections."
"Then come and get me," Alec challenged.
Valentine lunged at him and Alec managed to duck side kicking him away and drawing his sword. Valentine growled and lunged at him again and Alec dodged slicing him with the sword. The only way he knew he would win is if he stayed calm. That's the best advantage in any fight.
"Stop moving," Valentine demanded.
"What's the matter? Can't keep up?" Alec taunted.
He grunted as Valentine's body made contact with his taking them both to the ground in a heap of limbs. He choked on a breath as he felt the dagger embed itself into his abdomen the same time he drove the sword through Valentine's chest and straight through his heart. He could already taste the blood in the back of his mouth.
Valentine smirked and stood up. He grabbed the handle of the sword and pulled it out letting it drop onto the floor.
"Takes more than a sword through the heart to kill me Alexander," he chuckled.
He knelt down and yanked the dagger out and wiped the blood off the blade. He straightened and started walking towards Magnus. Alec groped around for the sword. His vision was already starting to blur from the blood loss.
He grabbed the sword and pulled himself to his feet. He panted and stumbled towards him.
Valentine knelt down next to Magnus. Alec wasn't sure how he managed to do it. He would blame it on access adrenaline or the fact that he swore he wouldn't let anyone hurt Magnus or the baby. He remember the sound as his body hit the floor and his head rolled away. And then he blacked out.
"Alec? Sweet pea?"
"Magnus?"
Alec groaned as he opened his eyes and shot up clutching his middle wincing. Magnus leaned forward and eased him back down.
"Relax, everything's okay," Magnus assured him.
"Valentine-"
"He's dead," Jace answered appearing next to Magnus.
"How can you be sure?" Alec asked struggling to sit up.
"Alec...you cut off his head..." Jace answered. "Don't you remember?"
"I remember seeing Valentine in the warehouse...and then things just went blank after that..." he answered. "I cut off his head?"
"Yeah...clean off," Jace answered. "You really don't remember?"
"Not a thing," Alec shook his head and winced.
"I'm gonna go see how Izzy's doing," Jace said backing out of the room to give them some space.
"Are you okay? Is the baby okay?"
"We're okay, worried about you of course, but there is no physical harm," Magnus answered. "You just worry about getting better alright?"
Alec nodded a little. "Stay?"
"I'm not going anywhere."
Alec tugged his hand. "Lay down with me...it'll make me feel better."
Magnus sat down on the bed and carefully laid down next to him. Alec wrapped his arm around him and shifted a little bit wincing.
Magnus put his hand over his and gave it a reassuring squeeze.
