"Oh god, oh god , oh god. What kind of poison is it?" I asked looking back at Jace his face was covered in sweat. Raphael crouched back down and put two fingers up to Jace's neck to feel his pulse. Jace grimaced and his head lulled to one side.
"Agony poison, it won't kill him but will be extremely painful." Raphael explained looking back at me.
"Shit." I muttered under my breath.
"He needs to come back to D'mort, I can help take his pain away there." Raphael said seriously. I looked up at him a little shocked.
"I need to be with him. I'm his parabati." I protested, Raphael glared back up at me frustrated.
"Alec please you need to stay here the vamps barely trust you. They will protect Jace but not you." Raphael explained annoyed. I knew he was right the vamps didn't like me much but they liked Jace more mainly because he saved them all..
"Fine, but just keep me updated." I sighed admitting defeat. Raphael swiftly picked Jace up in his arms, Jace groaned and squirmed a little. I stood up and put my hand oh his shoulder.
"It's going to be okay Jace. I promise." I whispered gently. Raphael nodded then disappeared with my parabati in his arms. I sighed and couldn't help but still be worried, I trusted Raphael but with Jace. I don't know what he was going to happen.
"A-Alec?" A small voice said from the bedroom doorway. I looked over to see Magnus leaning heavily on the frame a sheet rapped around his shoulders, I rushed over and supported him. I could feel how weak he was, frail almost.
"Magnus are you okay?" I said and let him lean against my chest.
"My magic isn't working." He coughed out. My blood went cold something was wrong definitely wrong.
"Here lay down." I said and scooped him up in my arms. His head rested against my chest as I carried him back to the bedroom. I lay him back down on the bed and he groaned in pain. I looked down at him confused, something was wrong. I leant down at felt his forehead it was burning up violently. I drew my hand away like I had been burnt.
"I'm need to go get some ice." I said confused and left. I walked quickly into the kitchen and grabbed a bowl, I put it in the sink and ran the tap so I it would fill. I grabbed a towel and walked back to sink and picked up the bowl. I looked at my reflection in the water and sighed I looked a mess. I then proceeded to walk back into Magnus's room. He was sweating a lot and tossing and turning over. I placed the bowl on the side table and sat down on the side of the bed. He rolled to face me and I smiled. I dunked the cloth in the bowl and placed it on his chest.
I remembered when Maryse did this for me when I had to flu, I was sick for days but Jace never left my side, I remember Izzy trying to feed me soup but I wouldn't take it. Jace would always be there He didn't sleep for 2 days we where only young as well.
I smiled at the memory of it but I soon was brought back to Magnus when he groaned. I wiped the cloth down on his neck and washed away the sweat.
"Magnus, What is going on? I though warlocks couldn't get sick." I said still confused and mopped his chest down with the cold water.
"We can't, only poisoned." He whispered weak followed by a fit of coughing, I gently rubbed his back and hushed sweet nothings in his ear. When he relaxed I now was seriously worried because if he had been poisoned I needed to know what it was to cure it. Then it hit me. Jace knows a lot about poisoned god knows he has been poisoned enough by various demons over time. Maybe he knows something. I reached over and picked up my phone.
"What are you doing?" Magnus asked weakly. I turned back around to him and opened my phone.
"Calling Jace he knows a lot about poison." I explained and started to ring him. The phone purred for awhile before her picked up.
"Alec?" Jace said breathlessly like he had just run a marathon while being continuously punched in the stomach.
"Jace how are you?" I asked my worry pricking up instantly. I could practically see him sweating though the sheets and groaning in pain.
"I will live." This made me smile but it definitely wasn't funny in the way his voice was so hoarse and broken.
"I think Magnus has been poisoned, I need you help trying to identify the poison." I explained standing up and pacing around the bed. I heard him groan in pain and he sounded exhausted, but he soon replied.
"Symptoms?" He asked though his teeth.
"Losing his Magic, high fever, weakened." I said listing them off one by one. He instantly replied.
"That's Indone poison very deadly…it's made of part vampire venom and part blood of a half shadowhunter half demon." He paused for what he sounded like to catch his breath which gave me a little time to think who would have access to venom and blood of a demon half Shadowhunter.
"It will kill him slowly, but it won't give him much pain." Jace explained pausing for breath between each word.
"He is going to die?" I asked more to myself than to Jace. It hit me that I had to save him Magnus couldn't die, I didn't want to lose the love of my life….I could see how hurt Jace was about Clary I would never want to lose Magnus. I love him.
"I don't know for sure…" Jace said sadly but cut himself off with a fit of coughing and groaning in agony. It made me feel so bad talking probably out him in more pain he needed to rest and I hated how I couldn't feel his pain anymore, so I could know when he was hurting and I could comfort him.
"Okay thanks Jace..rest easy." I replied I couldn't help hide the sadness in my voice.
"You to." He weased out. I hung up the phone and sat back down heavily on our bed. I looked at Magnus to see he was passed out. Even when he was sleeping he was stunning, but currently there was nothing happy about the way he was covered in sweat and tossing and turning. I sat back down next to him and brushed his sweaty hair away from his face. I grabbed the cloth and dunked it in the water again. I lay it on his forehead and he moaned in relief. I smiled took the now hot cloth away and redunked it. I looked at my watch it was late around 2:00am in the morning. Luckily him being unconscious gave me a lot of time to think about how could have done this… I got up and grabbed a book of the shelf intitled
List of all known Shadowhunters and downwalrders.
It was record book, I obviously had some time on my hands so I guess it should go though it an see the possible subjects. I sat down by my love and opened the book again on my lap.
Hours later…
I turned the 255th page still nothing. Nobody who could have pulled this off was in here. All the words on the pages where blurring together, I rubbed my sleepy eyes and put the book down. I needed coffee if I was going to survive the night. I left Magnus and walked out in a sort of stuper towards the coffee machine, I turned it on and grabbed a mug from one of the cupboard. I waited for it to boil and took out my phone when it hit me like a truck at full speed. Oh my god. Jonathan was half demon half human who had a grudge against Magnus and wanted Jace dead. The the vampire…..I don't know who that could be but if Jonathan was involved it was dangerous and I mean so dangerous. They want them both dead. Oh god I have to get to Magnus and Raphael. I was about to walk back to our bedroom when Suddenly Magnus's bedroom door slammed shut with a bang. It made me jump, I drew out a small serfe blade that I always kept on me just in case. it lit up. I ran towards the door and grabbed the knob I flung it open. I looked around the room then towards the bed and…..Magnus was gone from it. Oh no. Shit. I ran back to the kitchen counter and grabbed my phone, I quickly rang Racheal while I walked around the apartment slowly whoever took Magnus could still be here. He picked up quickly.
"Alec what's wrong?" He asked I could hear the sound of something cooking in the background.
"Raphael you need to get to Jase he is in danger!" I shouted down the phone line urgently. I heard in the background a door slam shut just like Magnus's had. It was to late we where to late.
"What the hell?" Raphael muttered and I heard him run towards the door. I waited for a while until he broke the silence even though I already knew the answer.
"He is gone."
