Suddenly he was right next to me his jacket brushed my side, I was shocked I hardly registered as he he shoved my bow and arrows into my hands. I looked at him with fear in my eyes, he just grinned evilly back his teeth where stained with blood. His dark eyes where black no love or compassion there. Then he vanished back in between Jace and Magnus.
"Why are you doing this?" I asked tears in my eyes. I couldn't choose between my brother and the man I loved. I looked him dead in the eyes and I could tell he liked my fear and my sadness it was like it gave him power and pleasure to watch people suffer.
"Because then I get power." He replied and snarled his upper lip curling into a grin.
"Please I can't…" I replied my voice cracking as tear streaked down my face. I never though I would be pleading to Jonathan. I looked at Magnus he looked pale , sick, weak but in no pain. Then I looked over at Jace so much pain racked his body as his eyes screwed up in pain as he bit down hard on his gag. His body was shaking in pain. His eyes looked up and meet mine, the pain in them was undeniable. He was pleading. Not pleading for me to save him but for me to make it end. But we both new that was impossible with Jace's new immortality? I looked back to Jonathan confused and this time I smiled. He looked confused and a little taken aback.
"What are you smiling at?" He asked taking a more aggressive stance.
"Jace can't die He is immortal." I replied and grinned wider, Jonathan then smiled back which stumped me. He laughed and lent on Jace's chair. He grabbed his golden dirtying hair ruffly and pulled it back so his head was no longer hanging down. This made me tense but the worst thing was, was that he didn't resit or even throw a dirty look.
"The poison in his veins if you shoot him will kill him." Jonathan said confidently. "Kill one you save the other." He snarled grimly. I looked over at Magnus and his eyes where dropping his face was drained of all colour. I loved him I could feel our connection, I couldn't do it to ether of them.
"Kill me." I said confidently. Jace's head shot up and he spat out his gag. Jace let out a pained groan but bit his lip and stomached it. His golden eyes met mine, there where constantly flashing between golden and blue. He couldn't control his power.
"Alec no. You can't do this. Shoot me I'll-" he began but Jonathan quickly re-gaged him before he could go to far. I looked over to Magnus I could see him mouthing no, but he was so weak he could barely open his eyes.
"That's a lovely sentiment but you can't because if you kill yourself they will both die anyway." Jonathan grinned I snarled back and picked up my bow. I looked at the them both a sighed, I couldn't shoot ether of them but somehow I knew which one.
"You have already decided." Jonathan added evilly looking into my eyes. I looked over at Magnus he was dieing I could see it, I had to choose quickly if I wanted to save ether of them. I looked over at Jace his face screwed up in pain his eyes glowed a strong gold and suddenly I knew what to do. He would have enough power to break free, but the risk of the surge going down soon was high. I looked Jace dead in the eyes and he nodded I drew an arrow and put it in the string of the bow. I drew it back and pointed at Jace I saw Jonathan smile. Jace leaned backwards in the chair and breathed out. I let my arrow fly it was moving so fast towards I didn't know if I had given him enough time. I watched as he slowly broke free from the chains they clattered to the floor, his wings shot out in all of a less second. I watched in slow motion,He grabbed the arrow and turned and stabbed it deep in the Jonathan's heart. He moved so fast I could barely see him. He left golden streaks behind him. But I knew when Jonathan's body hit the floor it worked, I dropped my bow and arrows and ran over quickly to Magnus my boots clanked hard on the floor of the container. I got on my knees beside him. He opened his eyes and looked so much stronger already. He nodded telling me he was okay and I lent forward and kissed his forehead gently. I looked back over at Jace who still had the bloody arrow in his hand. His face looked shocked. I stood up and looked at him his eyes didn't meet mine. Then he groaned and doubled over in pain, I ran to his side and rubbed his back gently.
"Jace? Jace?!" I asked worried when he dropped to his knees as the pain intensified. Magnus was at his side as well.
"What's going on?" I asked tried to give Jace some comfort.
"I don't know." Magnus replied not taking his eyes of Jace. The pain subsided and he relaxed and breathed heavily.
"Jace? Are you okay?" I asked worried he nodded and I helped him stagger to his feet weakly he leaned into me slightly.
"We need to get him back to our apartment." Magnus said and tried to open a portal. The normal purple orbs that would appear came out my flickered and disappeared. He looked annoyed and stopped trying.
"My power isn't strong enough." Magnus said grimly turned around, Jace pulled away from me and drew out his wings.
"I can fly us there." Jace said and I instantly shook my head,
"No that not happening Magnus and I will ride on the motorcycle." I told them Jace nodded and stretched out his massive wings. I grabbed his arm before he could go anywhere.
"Please stay in site." I asked not wanting anything bad to happen while he was in the air.
"I will." He replied and squeezed my arm reassuringly.
"Wait till we are on the motorcycle." I asked and he nodded, I took Magnus's hand and we both jumped down , we landed in the dust and I began to lead him to the motorcycle. When it came into site it was the same way I left it. I got astride it and Magnus got on behind me, I felt him rap his arms around me. I revved the cycle up and it roared to life. I heard beating wings and Jace flew above us. I followed him as he did as promised and flew along the road. I got out onto the main road and Jace speed up forcing me to do the same, I felt Magnus grip tighter and that gave me some reassurance. I kept my eyes on Jace and the cars. They all started slowly down but obviously Jace didn't notice, his wings lit up the beautiful gold which only meant danger was ahead. I saw even though it was night that thunder cloud ahead of him. Shit. I drove in and out of the cars trying to keep up with him. Lightening cracked from inside the cloud striking down buildings with fire. It was getting harder to see Jace in the sky. The traffic started getting heaver and I had to fall back. Jace had problems of his own going on to focus on traffic. I looked over onto the other side of the motorway it was pretty much clear. I looked behind me at Magnus, he nodded but looked a little scared. I pointed the motorcycle at the other direction, I fully tuned it and cut across rows of traffic causing many horns to be blow at us. I got to the other side and looked back up to the sky. Jace was still flying but the lightening and thunder was getting stronger.
"Magnus keep and eye on Jace for me." I yelled back and gunned towards incoming cars.
"Will do." He replied and his grip tightened. I began to weave in and out of the cars, the where coming really fast but then so was I. The bright lights occasionally blinded me, the sound of the engine roared in my ears.
"Your nearly there!" Magnus yelled and speed up. Two lorry's where heading straight for me, I had seen Jace do a move once where he went up the front of the lorry then along the top and landed down the other side. Well I hoped I could do it now. I speed up much more and lifted the front wheel up and the whole cycle did as I hoped and soon we where on the top. I drove as quickly as I could and we flew of the other side. One of the wheels as we landed moved violently to left but I managed to keep in control. We where now quite far back away from Jace and when I looked up I could see him dogging the lightening and shooting some of his own to try and protect him self. I got my eyes back on the road and it was pretty much clear so I could really go fast. I was going about 150mph which was nothing compared to what Jace would do but it was fast enough for me. He suddenly dropped a little in the sky but managed to recover. His golden wings beat faster it was beautiful to watch but his pain looked so bad in the way he moved. His flew higher and was gone out of my site.
"Magnus where is he?!" I yelled back at him trying to focus on the road.
"He's gone!" He yelled back and I looked up at the sky in frustration. A massive lightening bolt cracked over the sky it wasn't Jace's. I looked up as the clouds parted a little ,Quickly allowing a shaft of light to come though. Jace came falling though the cloud cover. His wings where the once again black and he was falling his back to the ground.
"No!" I yelled and pushed the cycle faster towards his falling body. We where to far away He was falling to fast. He
"By the angle Magnus do something! Please!" I yelled and tried to get to him faster. I felt him take his hands away from my waist and I saw a blueish shield go under Jace's prone form. It slowed him down slightly but not much as he still plummeted to the ground. I didn't look like it was enough.
