"The angel showed you some kind of vision?" Luke asked from where he was sitting with his sister, Cleo, glad that she was okay. Magnus nodded, looking through his twentieth book, trying, and failing, to find some answers. "But what does it mean?" Clary asked, looking from one person to the other, hoping that somebody from the more experienced people around her would know what to do.
"That means that we have to look for more answers and that the angel didn't exactly help us. He only showed us something that we can use as a hint." they all turned to look at Ragnor, Magnus's friend who helped them once, when they were looking for the Book of The White. Magnus called him knowing that they will need his help. "A hint?" this time it was Alec who asked, handing Magnus more books.
Smiling at his omega, Magnus put the books to the side, pulling Alexander on his lap and putting the book he was reading on the omega's lap and continued looking for something they could use. "Yes, he showed us, some kind of demon maybe? We now have to find out what exactly it was and what it can do with the Mortal Sword." he murmured, his eyes jumping from one foreign word to another with such speed that Alec's head was starting to hurt when he tried to follow him.
"The first thing we have to do is find out if that things is a demon or something else." said Raphael from the other couch, Simon by his side, his eyes heavy, with another heavy book in his hands. Magnus nodded even thought he was still focused on the book in his hands. Clary looked around herself. "How can we help when we didn't see it?" she asked maybe a little bit bitter that she didn't see a vision from an actual angel.
Everyone stopped and looked at Magnus and Alec. They were the only two who actually saw the vision, the others didn't know what the 'demon' was supposed to look like. Clary really had a point. Face palming, Magnus gently moved Alec, who was still sitting on his lap, onto the couch and stood up. Quickly disappearing into the working part of his loft, leaving confused people in his leave. Just as quickly as he left he reappeared with some kind of bright blue colored potion in his hand.
"Darling I'm sorry to ask you, but I need you to drink this. It will help me show the others the vision we saw. I would drink it myself, but I need to pull the memory out of your mind, so to speak. And I'm afraid that Ragnor doesn't know how to." he looked at his friend who nodded to confirm his words before looking at his omega. He felt really bad, always asking his little darling to do such things. Such an alpha he was.
Instead of taking care of him and cherishing him he only keeps on hurting him. Breaking from his thoughts when he felt warm fingers curl around his, he looked into Alexander's eyes. They were full of understanding and so warm. And the alpha wanted to hunt down and kill every last person who ever hurt this creature.
Taking the weirdly colored potion, Alec tipped it and drank all in one gulp, grimacing at the sour taste it left in his mouth. Just sitting for a little bit, he turned to Magnus ready to ask why it didn't work when his eyes rolled into his head and everything became white. Slumping against the seat he was sitting in, he vaguely heard the others' shouts before everything became white noise.
The people in the room became panicky when Alec slumped backwards, as if dead, his eyes rolling up into his head. Jace jumped to his feet, forgetting that he had the parabatai rune and would have known if something happened to Alec, rushing to his parabtais side. Magnus stopped him, his eyes shinning and cat like. "Mag-!" Jace stopped himself when Magnus growled at him, the noise deep and dangerous, almost animalistic, coming from his chest. He slowly nodded and took step back, understanding that it was hard for the older alpha as well, possibly even harder than for him.
Focusing on Alexander, Magnus called on his magic and gently touched his temples. Almost immediately, hazy images appeared. The image soon became clear and the others could see the same vision that the angel showed them. They saw the same figure, the same sword. The moment the figure in the hood touched the sword, it burst into nothing along with the figure. When the vision ended, Magnus pulled his hands away, sitting down next to Alec and waiting.
Suddenly, the omega sat up straight, breathing harshly and hands grabbing around himself. His eyes were wide and panicky and Magnus, who was the closets to him, could hear tiny whimpers leaving his chest. Instincts blaring, the black haired alpha reached forward and brought the panicky omega to his chest, sinking to the ground and pulling Alec with him. Burying his nose into the runed neck he nosed against Alexander's scent glands, knowing that it will help him to calm down.
He felt them a little bit swollen, a sign that an omega was in distress, and moved a little bit closer, gently nibbling against the delicate skin. He completely ignored the others in the room, fully focused on his omega. The others stood up and let them have a little privacy, moving towards the kitchen instead. They knew that Alec was a private person and they also knew, that he wouldn't want them to see him so vulnerable.
Magnus felt when they were left alone and stood up, without any problems lifting Alec with him, and moved towards their bedroom. Gently setting his, still trembling, omega onto the bed, he crawled around him and settled against the head of the big bed, pulling Alec into his lap and cuddling him. His nose returned to the omega's scent glands and, wanting him to calm down, he started emitting his alpha pheromones.
Alec froze before going completely lax, melting against his alpha's strong chest. Magnus has never let his pheromones out fully and the feeling of being completely surrounded by them was...amazing. He felt so protected, as if nothing in the world could touch him. Breathing in and out, his lashes fluttered and he slowly opened his eyes.
Blinking he tried to orientate himself. His gaze fell first at the big window he was facing. Next were the bright sheets under his feet and finally, it was the silky shirt he was resting against. Magnus. He was with Magnus. Closing his eyes, he leaned more into the strong muscles under him, easily letting his alpha hold his whole weight. It felt nice knowing that even though they were almost the same height, Magnus was able to hold him without any problems, It made him feel so...small.
"Hi." he whispered, feeling Magnus's chest vibrate with his chuckles. "Hello darling. Are you feeling okay?" Alec only nodded, not wanting to move anytime soon. It just felt so good being here, completely surrounded by Magnus.
Central Park, NY:
The wind was blowing enough for a scarf, but a little girl played on the ground anyway. A woman was looking at her, careful so she wouldn't get hurt. The wind was playing with her red hair, the woman not minding it. Her eyes didn't once leave the little girl. Suddenly a man stopped near her. Looking up, the little smile that was on her face froze and her eyes widened.
He sat down next to her, his eyes following where hers were before. "Mr. Morgenstern." she in a low voice. "What can I help you with? A potion? A spell? I'm very versatile." the man next to her, Valentine, huffed slightly. "And that makes my skin crawl."
The woman, Iris, slightly shook her head. "I though we would understand each other. Both scientists in our own ways." it was clear that the warlock was nervous. She keeps on looking from the little girl, as if controlling that she was still at the same place, to Valentine. Not wanting to loose sight of neither one. But for different causes.
"I applaud your spirit, but it won't help you." here he turned to look at her, "I hear you've met my daughter, Clarissa?" Iris paled and slowly turned to look at him. Her whole face was white and her hands were shaking. She opened and closed her mouth a couple of times, wanting to say something but not knowing how to form words. Finally, she managed to stutter a sentence.
"I...I had n-no idea..." Valentine interrupted her, "Children...have a way of making us terribly vulnerable, don't they?" her whole body started shaking. She knew what he meant to say with that sentence. Sharply turning her head to where the little girl continued playing, her breath hitched when the air around her crinkled and three people appeared. All of them were armed and were glaring at the little warlock playing in the grass.
"Don't-" her voice shook, "Please don't hurt her-" she turned back to Valentine, her eyes pleading. "I will do anything you ask." Valentine smirked and nodded. "Yes, you will."
The Institute, a couple of hours earlier:
Alec and Izzy were looking at one of the many displays around them. It was a video record from the day they saved the angel. A big white thing was flying towards the sky with fast pace. Alec pointed at the thing and turned to look a Izzy. "There. That was the angel." "It could be a shooting star." Izzy said back, coming to stand a little bit closer and peering at the display.
Alec frowned slightly, his eyes a little bit hurt, "You don't believe me?" he asked, hurt dripping into his voice. "I'm not saying I don't believe you. It's just that, no one has seen an angel in over hundred years" she moved the picture away and the display disappeared.
"Yeah, that's true. But me, Magnus, Simon and even you! Saw him. You were there with us. You had to see him too!" she nodded but her expression was still unsure. "I know I was there. And I know I have seen him, too. But I just can't believe it. Alec, we saw a real angel. And he talked to you." she turned to him and this time, her expression was awed. Alec smiled at her. He himself still couldn't believe what happened in the last two days.
First, it was the dream. A dream which an angel sent him. Next it was the angel. Like a real living angel. One that knew his name. And lastly, it was another vision. This time the angel showed it to Magnus too. The vision was another secret. They needed to find out what it meant. The only bad thing was, that Valentine managed to run away. Again. That man was just so slimy.
"Hey, you guys!" the siblings both turned when they heard their little brother, smiles breaking out on each of their faces. "Max!" Alec smiled, feeling his chest warming from the sight of his little brother. His inner omega singing when it smelt Max's scent. It was a long time since the last time he held him in his arms.
"Hey buddy, how is it going?" Izzy smiled and knelt down so she could take the little alpha into her arms and hugged him with all her might. "I missed you so much." she smiled at him and let him go, standing up. Her heart melted and she only just managed to hold her coo when Max jumped at Alec who caught him. The little alpha wrapped his legs around his omega's brother waist, his hands going around Alec's neck.
They started scenting, Max even making these cute little whines when Alec scented him behind his ear. Isabelle just couldn't help herself, she squealed and grabbed her phone, quickly taking at least twenty photos. Hearing chuckles from behind her she turned and smiled. "Mom! How are you?" Maryse smiled and hugged her only daughter. "Now when I see you, better." she sighed. The younger alpha woman frowned. "Something wrong?" Maryse shook her head and when she looked at her two sons bonding her smile returned. "No, everything is fine."
"Mom!" the omega smiled when he saw his mom, gently letting go of his little brother and hugging the older alpha. "What are you doing here?"
"Max has something to tell you. Tell them, sweetheart." she smiled and touched Max's shoulder, looking like a true proud mother. "I finally passed my last trial. I'm ready for my Rune Ceremony." Alec smiled, bright and happy. "Congratulations. I'm proud of you." Max preened under all the praises, puffing his little chest out. The others laughed slightly at the cute sight. Maryse sobered up,"Sadly, your father won't be able to be there. So Alec, as the oldest man in our family, it is your job to organize Max's Ceremony party."
Alec's smile froze. "Wait, what do you mean father won't be here?" Maryse smiled sadly. "He is tied up with the Valentine task force in Idris." Izzy shook her head. "I can't believe Dad won't be here." Alec was starting to get nervous. What if Max's party won't be good. It would be his fault. Ceremony party is one of the biggest moments in a Shadowhunter's life. And now it's on his shoulders to do it for his little brother.
Maryse could see that her eldest was getting nervous, so she walked towards him and touched his shoulder. "Don't worry. I'm sure you will do just fine. And if you want you can ask Magnus for help, if you want." she smiled when his eyes brightened. Her son was smitten. Totally and utterly smitten.
"Well, i would like to stay longer, but I need to go. Isabelle, walk me to the entrance please." she turned to Izzy before hugging Max and stopping in front of Alec. Hugging him, she slightly scented him and kissed his forehead. "I know you will do good. Believe in yourself little one" tears in his eyes, Alec nodded. It has been a long time since she called him that. It brought back good memories.
She nodded one last time to her children and walked away, Isabelle following her, entwining their hands and swinging them slightly. Alec smiled and turned to his little brother, wrapping an arm around his shoulders and pulling him along. "So? How was Idris?" he asked as they walked towards Alec's room, knowing, that Max always needed one of their long cuddling sessions.
The little alpha cuddled closer to hisolder brother, basking in the attention. "Eh, it was good. But I'm glad to be here with you and Izzy. And the fighting won't be missed, too." the last part was mumbled but Alec still heard him. "Fighting? Mom and Dad?" Alec slowed his walk slightly, paying more attention to the little alpha. He was playing with his hands, twirling his fingers.
"Yeah. All the time." this was something Alec didn't like. If they wanted to fight okay. But not in front of Max. "What's going on?" he asked gently. Max stopped and looked up at his omega brother. "Dad doesn't like you having a warlock boyfriend." Alec's neck tightened. "And you?" he asked lowly, not really wanting to know that his little brother didn't like Magnus.
"It's okay. If you like him and he makes you happy, I'm okay." he smiled at him and Alec couldn't help but hug him tightly. "Thank you." he whispered against Max's hair, squeezing him even tighter.
Magnus's loft:
Slowly opening the door, Alec looked around. Yes, Magnus told him to just walk in whenever he wants to, but he was still afraid that he will disturb him somehow. Seeing no one around, he stepped inside and gently closed the door. Walking inside the loft, Alec continued looking around. Where was Magnus. Was he perhaps somewhere with one of his clients? Or maybe with his friends? But he always told him when he left his loft. Not that Alec needed to know where he was. It was Magnus's life. He can do whatever he wants with it.
He jumped when, suddenly, two hands wrapped around his waist, his back met a hard chest and a husky voice whispered in his ear, hot air tickling the small hair there. "Well well, look at this. A cute little omega in my home. What will I do with him, hmm?" Giggling, Alec leaned back against his alpha, letting his head rest on Magnus's shoulder, nosing under his ear.
"Magnus! You scared me." he said, a pout forming on his lips. Chuckling, Magnus turned his head and kissed the pout away, slowly pulling away from the lithe body of his omega and looking at him. He slightly frowned when he saw the sadness in his eyes. "What is troubling you darling?"
Sighting, Alec looked down at his boots. He knew Magnus would see right through him. He knew him to well. "My mom is back." Now Magnus was confused. "But I though you and Maryse were getting along?"
"It's not that. Max finally passed his last trial and his Rune Ceremony will be in two days. But dad can't be there and I as the oldest man in the family have to organize the party. But I...don't know how." he finished sadly, looking at Magnus through his lashes, his lower lip slightly popped out. Magnus knew that the real problem was that his father won't be there, the Ceremony being one of the most important events in the life of a Shadowhunter, but he played it well.
"Have you met me?" he finally said, smirking and pulling the omega back into his arms. "Don't you worry your pretty little head. I will help you with the party. It will be the best thing any Shadowhunter has ever seen" he said and kissed Alec's forehead.
Two days later, Magnus's loft, Max's Rune Ceremony party:
Magnus's loft was full of people. Mostly Shadowhunters but Alec saw some of the higher positioned Downworlders like Raphael with Simon and Luke. The omega thought that he even saw Meliour. His alpha really did a good job. Alec really liked the ice statue in the form of the angelic rune. The amount of people were making him slightly nervous but he will live through it. This was for Max and Magnus did a lot of work for it. So the least he could do was to enjoy it.
A person stepped a little bit too close to him and he stepped back, pressing his back against the wall. Well, at least he can look like he is enjoying himself. He saw Magnus walking around where the chef was cooking something. Shuffling around, Alec wrapped his hand around one of Magnus's. Magnus looked at his omega before returning his gaze to the chef. "I'm afraid that the empanadillas are soggy. I gave the chef specific directions..." Alec interrupted him and kissed his cheek quickly. "Magnus. I'm sure Max will be ecstatic. It looks amazing. Don't worry."
He heard him sigh and relax slightly. They both heard when the doors opened and when they turned a smile broke out on their faces. An excited Max was walking through the loft, Maryse following him, an equally awed look on her face. "Alec! Magnus!" Max hugged them both, his gaze never losing it's focus on the room. "Magnus." hearing his name, Magnus turned away from the little alpha who was talking with his brother and to Maryse who, to his big shock, hugged him.
Sure, Maryse was okay with him and Alexander. But still...he was a little bit unsure about where they stood. "Maryse, it's nice to see you." she smiled at him and looked around the loft one more time.
"I...I want to thank you for tonight. It means a lot to me and to Max, too. Mainly because Robert isn't here to do this for him."
"You don't have to thank me. I...I care about Alexander a lot. Really a lot. And you are his family so it means that I care about you, too." the alpha could see tears in her eyes but knowing how tough she was, he didn't pointed it out. She nodded to him one last time before taking Max and starting their walk through the room. Magnus saw many of the people there stop and greet them, some even giving something small as a gift.
"I think I'm going to rest for a little bit." the alpha turned to his omega, seeing the exhausted omega he nodded and took a hold of his hand, gently walking with him around all the people. Once inside their bedroom, he closed the door, all the noise disappearing at once. He sat Alec down on the bed, helping him with his coat and pulling the blanket away so Alec could lay under it. "I will be outside, if you need something just shout for me, I will hear you" nodding, Alec closed his eyes and the last thing he felt was Magnus's lips against his cheek.
Magnus smiled when he heard Alec's breathing slow down and he knew that he was asleep. The last two days were really exhausting for Alexander and he was happy that he finally gets some sleep. Quietly closing the sliding doors, he activated a protection spell and once he knew it was in place he turned back to the party.
With Alec:
Slowly blinking his eyes open, Alec was confused. What woke him up? Sitting up, he stretched his arms up, feeling his button down shirt tighter around his shoulders. Something was wrong. But what. Something has woken him up. Something jumped up onto the bed next to to him and he flinched away. Holding a hand to his chest he looked wide eyed at the tabby cat that jumped up onto the bed.
"Oh, You scared me little one. What are you doing here?" he asked the cat gently, hand coming towards it's head. Just as he was about to touch it, his mind became hazy and he froze. Hearing the door open, he shook his head and looked up. Confusion flooded him when he saw Clary. What was she doing in Magnus's bedroom?
"Clary? What are you doing here?" he asked confused, quickly redressing himself correctly. She mumbled something but Alec couldn't understand what. "What was it?"
"You almost killed my mom." she said louder and Alec's heart clenched. His hands started to shake and he clenched them around the blanket in his lap to hide them. "W-What?" he stuttered. "You heard me, you murderer." she spat and started walking closer with a glare in her eyes. Like a flash, a picture of half dead Jocelyn appeared before his eyes before disappearing again and his whole body started to shake.
She was right, he almost killed her. He was a murderer. It doesn't matter that he didn't kill her. He tried. How can anyone even talk to him. He should be locked up somewhere away from people. And Magnus. Why was he even bothering with him. Why was he even wanting to be in one room with him. He was such a horrible person. A terrible omega. Why was he...why was he even alive?
With Magnus, Isabelle, Jace and Maryse:
"Why can't you see it?! It's right there!" Jace pointed at the dagger stuck into the wall. The others were looking at him as if he was crazy. But Maryse tried to kill him, just now. Why can't they see it?
"Jace,calm down. No one is trying to kill you. Someone is playing with our minds. Feeding into our insecurities..."Magnus tried to calm him down, his hands on his shoulders to ground him. He was thinking about all the things that could do something like this when he froze. Insecurities...Oh no! Alexander!
"Alec. Alec, no!" they heard Clary's shout and Magnus moved even before he registered it, moving on pure instincts. His omega was in danger. He could feel it. But the question was...why couldn't he feel it before?
With Alec and Clary:
Standing on the railing of Magnus's balcony and watching the night city beneath him, Alec wrapped his shaking arms around hismiddle. Why didn't he just jump? Just one more step and it would be over. He would free all the people around him from his existence. He would help them feel better. Magnus would finally find an omega that would be right one for him. One that wasn't broken and useless like him.
Even his family will be better off. Won't have to be ashamed of him. Won't have to say that he is their family. Everyone will be better off without him. "Alec! Alec, no!" he turned to look at Clary. She was standing and glaring at him. "You almost killed her! You are so useless!" he turned to look back at the cars and city beneath him. It will be over soon. Just one more step.
"You are a murderer Alec. Nothing more." more flashes of Jocelyn all bloody and unmoving. Leaning against the wall in her room with a hole in her chest. And blood around her. So much blood. "Why are you still here?"
Clary's eyes were wide with dread. What was he doing? She just wanted to talk with him. Apologize one more time for her behavior when they met. Alec just suddenly stood up and started backing away from her. He backed onto the balcony and climbed onto the railway. He looked like he was getting ready to jump. Jesus!
"Alec, Alec. What are you doing? Come back down, okay? We...We can talk! I will get Magnus if you want." she tried to talk to him, slowly approaching him. "Take my hand, okay?" she said once she was close enough.
"You're weak...useless...no one is going to be missing you." shaking his head and curling his hands around his ears, Alec took one more look at the ground below him and...and let himself fall.
Clary screamed when she saw him stepping into the free space and covered her mouth with her hands. Quickly shaking herself, she jumped forward to catch him but only managed to catch the rim of his shirt before he disappeared from her reach. She heard the balcony door open with a bang but she ignored it, her horrified gaze still on the place where Alec stood just seconds before.
She only turned when she heard a deep growl and registered blue magic hurling past her and down after Alec. Turning around, she sighted in relief when she saw Magnus but then froze in fear when she saw his feral yellow cat like eyes. She registered Maryse, Jace and Isabelle behind him but didn't want to turn away from the dangerous alpha before her, her instincts screaming at her not to look away.
"Oh my god...Alec!" Maryse shouted and ran by Magnus and Clary, taking her oldest son into her arms once Magnus safely put him on the ground of the balcony. "What happened? What have you done?!" she turned to look at the still petrified Clary. "I...I wanted to apologize again. And he...he started to behave weirdly, talking about him being a murderer and almost killing my mom. I don't know why he would think about it. I thought that we closed that chapter and put it behind us.
I mean, I know he didn't do it. It was the demon possessing him." she finished sadly, leaning against Jace who hugged her, his scared eyes focused on his parabatai. He almost lost him. Jesus! Izzy was kneeling next to her mother, gently petting Alec's damp hair. Her brother almost killed himself. What was going on here.
For Magnus it was the first time he was so scared. His heart was racing and he couldn't breath. His whole body was shaking. Alexander, HIS Alexander almost killed himself. What kind of alpha was he? He ignored all the people around him, his eyes were only on his shaking omega. He fleetingly registered young Isabelle pulling her mother to the side.
He collapsed next to the omega and slowly wrapped his arms around him, pulling Alec into his chest and burying his nose into his hair. He breathed in and out, savoring the sweet smell of his omega. His little one. He almost lost him. He started to gently rock them without even realizing it. He can't lose him...not now or ever. He wanted to be with him forever. And his forever was long.
"What is happening here?" he vaguely heard Maryse asking. He tightened his arms around his omega, a deep purring sound coming from his chest, his way of trying to calm him down. Closing his eyes he thought, again, about what the reason for all the problems that were happening tonight could be.
Suddenly he got it. It had to be. Letting go of Alec, he gently leaned him against the wall. Noticing that the omega was blinking his eyes open, he smiled at him and kissed his forehead. "Don't worry darling. I will fix everything. Just wait here for me."
Standing up, he turned to look at the others. They were all nervous, which was an understatement. "Just stay here. I think I know what is happening." and with this he walked out from the balcony and to the still ongoing party, stepping around all the people and to his workshop. Opening his secret safe he pulled out his old spell book. Walking back to the balcony, he found them all arguing. Maryse was accusing Clary and Jace was defending her. Isabelle was still kneeling next to the hazy eyed Alexander.
Quickly opening his spell book, he found the spell he needed and read it out before waving his hand and then crushing the bad thoughts. They all stopped, looking at each other, wide eyed. "What happened?" they heard Alec's weak voice. At once, they all knelt down next to him. "A warlock was playing with our heads. Using our insecurities against us."
"Alec...are you okay" Clary knelt next to him, gently touching his shoulder. He nodded, still dizzy and disoriented. "Yeah...I think so?" he said slowly, looking at her. His eyes were still unfocused and he looked like he didn't know where he was. Magnus finally breathed out. Everything will be okay from now on. Closing his spell book he blinked when it suddenly disappeared from his hands.
"Someone has taken my spell book." saying this, he quickly activated his wards. "You are activating your wards?" Clary asked looking around them. The whole building was surrounded by an almost transparent barrier. "No one is leaving this place until I find it."
A little bit later:
The door closed after another couple of guests, Magnus currently scanning Raj. He didn't look happy. "I was this close to lining up athreesome and you guys let yourself get spelled?" rolling his eyes, Alec grabbed his shoulder and steered him out of the door, closing it a little bit stronger than was necessary.
"Is he the last one?" asked Jace and Magnus sighed. "It appears I'm the only warlock here." he still looked troubled and Alec stood right next to him, their hands touching. "Magnus what happens if we don't find your spell book?" this time it was Clary who asked, her hands wrapped tightly around Jace's. "That's not an option you want to explore." he said angrily, starting to pace. "That spell can undo every single spell I've ever cast. From the elementary to the complex. In new and old languages..."he paused.
"Magnus? Is something wrong?" but Magnus ignored their questions. "God, I'm so stupid." he snarled and again activated the wards. "The red cat" Alec's eyes widened. "You mean the one that jumped up onto the bed when I was in the bedroom?" Magnus's eyes narrowed. "That bitch." he growled and turned to the bedroom, his steps long and filled with purpose.
The others looked at each other and followed behind him. He slowly opened the bedroom door and stepped inside. "Magnus?" Alec's only answer was a finger on his lips to be quite. The warlock alpha motioned for them to split up on both sides of the bed, his eyes focused on the small lump laying near the top of the bed.
Nodding to Jace who nodded back, Magnus got ready. Once the blanket was away, the red cat started running. Magnus was ready and hit it with one of his spells. The cat froze and morphed into a human figure. A red haired human figure. Iris Rouse. "You." Magnus growled. She nervously looked at them all before using one of her spells. "Duratus!"
Magnus was the only one who didn't get hit. The others were frozen in time. She started to run again but Magnus didn't let her. Running after her, he started hitting her with spell after spell. His furniture and books were being damaged but his only concern was the red haired warlock alpha. She finally stopped and hurled one of her own spells at him. Kneeling and letting the spell fly over his head, Magnus snarled and quickly hurled one of his more powerful spells at her. He finally hit her and the spellheld her in place, as if she was being held in someone's fist.
"Where is my spell book!?" Magnus shouted, not in the mood for one of her games. "V-Valentine! He has Madzie, too"she stuttered, her whole face creased in pain. "What does he want with it?" she shook her head, "I don't know." Magnus rolled his eyes and tightened the spell. "I don't know!" she insisted.
"Let them go." the alpha male growled and nodded towards the bedroom. She barely managed to move her hand enough to undo the spell. The others ran to where they were and glared at the red haired warlock. Alec still remembering what she almost did to him and growled when he saw her. She looked at them fearfully. "Magnus, please. Have mercy. I'm all she knows." she pleaded.
Magnus shook his head. "After all you have done?" he angrily said. Something in her eyes changed. She knew that she won't walk away from this. "Alexander Lightwood" she started and Alec looked at her, his expression guarded. "Find Madzie." were the last words she said before Magnus portaled her away. "She is the Clave's problem now."
Breathing out, he turned back to the others. Alec quickly moved towards him and into his open arms, cuddling as close as he could. "But..what about your spell book, Magnus?" Isabelle asked. Magnus smirked and snapped his fingers. The book appeared in his hand. "When I know where it is, I can get it back with ease."
To be continued
So here it is. A little bit longer but I hope you won't mind.
As I finally have summer holiday, I will try and update more frequently, maybe even once a week. I'm not promising anything other than that I will update more. We will see how it'll go.
