I must apologize for my long absence. I am so sorry. I had to read Wuthering Heights as my summer project and I had postponed it until the last moment. With only a week and a half to finish it, I was really pressured and couldn't find the time to write. However I told you that I would be uploading daily and for failing to do so I will write twice as much. Starting tomorrow I will try to write two chapters a day. I love anyone who supported me and thank you for waiting. I send lots of love and hope that my message finds you well.
Magnus point of view
Magnus rubbed his eyes and cleared his throat, wondering just how drunk he was. He was clearly seeing two Wills, but he was sure there was only one. He shrugged and tried to stand taller, making his cat eyes flash as he stared at the shadowhunters.
"Shadohunters! Always the party crashers. Not that we don't want you here, but I don't want you here."
He sent them a smile and tried once again to concentrate on what he was seeing. There was clearly a Will, with the same cocky smile and arrogance,however , the other one may share the looks but he was clearly having a different reaction to Magnus. He blushed and there was such a radiant smile on his face that Magnus was captivated for a moment. His eyes were a deeper blue than Will's and even his hair was longer, his face more soft. Magnus forced himself to look away from him and towards the last shadow hunter, the one who was surely Will's parabatai, Jem.
" We need your assistance Magnus and weren't aware of the you don't have to hide your desire, everyone wants me. " Will said, his smile still cocky as he stared at the warlock. Magnus ignored him and stepped closer to the unidentified one. He leaned down, even though the shadowhunter was only smaller by an inch or two.
"And who are you, blue eyes ?" He breathed out his lips gushing against the others lips. In a second Magnus was being held by strong arms and a surprised gasp escaped him but it was swallowed as the shadowhunter crushed his lips against his. Magnus forgot who he was kissing, where he was, even his name. Soft explosions of roses and sparks went off around him, as the shadowhunter moved his lips expertly, his tongue darting out to lick his lips, asking for entrance. Magnus happily opened his mouth and instantly melted as their tongues meet. He moaned and move closer, wrapping his arms around strong shoulders and letting his fingers reach for the soft silky black hair.
Magnus felt strong arms grab him from behind and pull him away from the shadowhunter. He threw a quick shot of magic and tried to get back to the best kiss of his life but the magic only bounced back to him. The pain sobered him some and he blinked, looking at the shadowhunter who was now looking at the floor , his face completely red. The arms around him pulled him back until he was a couple of spaces away from the blushing man, who was now surrounded by Will and his parabatai. The hands finally let go of Magnus and he turned to see Ragnor, who threw him such an angry and disgusted look that Magnus actually wimphered.
"You weren't invited and as you can see Magnus is intoxicated right now. Leave ." He threw them a dirty look and pointed at the door, his shoulders tense and small sparks of green magic jumping from his fingers.
" Get lost, we came to speak to Magnus not some glorified version of a lettuce. " Will said and Magnus couldn't help but laugh. He himself called Ragnor his little cabbage considering he was green. He sovered some at the look Ragnor gave him and he sighed before turning and walking towards his study. He didn't need to turn to know that the shadowhunters were following him. The downworlders parted for him and his companions but their hostility was obvious and Magnus let his magic wrapped around his little group. The last thing he needed was for someone to attack the shadowhunters and enlisting the wrath of the angels children. They walked into the study that had been previously locked and the noise from the party died as the door closed. Magnus went to the chair behind his desk and flopped down, extending his hand as three chairs appeared across from him. Will sat in the middle one and leaned forward his elbows coming to rest on the desk.
Magnus made sure to keep his eyes focused on him and not on the blue eyed beauty. He was still unsure of what had happened before, if the kiss had truly been his fault or if the other shadowhunter had been the one to initiate it. A shudder went through him as he remembered those soft lips against his and he closed his eyes for a second trying to get rid of the image.
"Since you already ruined the party, you might as well tell me what you need." Magnus said, looking accusingly at Will who only smiled back at him.
"We need blood for a vampire and we also need help tracking down a demon." Will said casually.
"Blood for a vampire ? Why would shadowhunters be interested in that ? And am I not already helping you find a demon ?" Magnus said, knowing full well that Will didn't want anyone to know about the demon but frustrated enough not to care.
"Don't vex me Magnus, we need the blood for a good reason. Besides I doubt you want a greater demon running around London." Will said, scowling as he looked at Magnus. Magnus snapped his fingers and a shimmering drink appeared in front of him. He grabbed the drink and took a sip, observing the shadowhunters and wondering why he couldn't keep his eyes away from Blue eyes.
"I'll sell you the blood, but I won't help you with the greater demons. You already spoiled my party and I would rather not get involved with shadowhunter business." The drink had managed to calm Magnus and he smiled, his magic dancing around him at his improved humor.
"Your right, we don't need your help with the greater demon. We will be leaving now, please send the blood to the London Institute as soon as you can." Said the Blue eyed beauty as he stood up, completely ignoring the bewildered stares from his companions.
"You never answered my question Shadowhunter, who are you ?" He stopped at the door and turned to look at Magnus his blue eyes flashing with an emotion that Magnus didn't catch.
"My name is Alexander Lightwood." Was his answer, his hand already reaching for the door handle. Just as the door opened the floor trembled, throwing everyone off their feet and making the guest outside scream. The shadowhunters were up and outside the door before magnus even had time to pick himself up. He rushed after them, his magic flaring around him. He stopped dead cold as he walked into the main room, his guest turning to him and the angels children with fear in their eyes. The fairies that had been flying were now curled on the floor their wings snapped and dangling behind them. Ragnor had his hands up,sending a protective barrier of green energy around the remaining guests. Will and his friends took out their weapons, and if things didn't seem so bleak Magnus would have laughed at the faces of the moments ago the downworlders had looked disgusted by the shadowhunters they were now gravitating towards them, seeking protection. Magnus stepped forward and started to create a portal, trusting Ragnor to hold the protective barrier while he made an exit. The green wall pulsed as it was hit and little by little started to crack. Magnus let out a curse and turned from the portal, sending his own magic to reinforce the barrier.
"Stop wasting your energy on the barrier, even with the both of you it won't hold. You need to finish the portal and evacuate the building. " Alexander said, stepping close to Magnus.
"The portal will take time and while Im making it whatever is outside will attack everyone." Alexander stepped even closer and Magnus had to force himself not to lean into him. He must be really drunk to be feeling and acting this way especially towards a shadowhunter.
"Take my energy. If you do you can finish the portal faster." Magnus stared at him bewildered, wondering how in the world he knew Magnus could take his energy. He didn't have time to question him as another strong attack hit the barrier and more cracks appeared. He turned and took Alexanders hand, letting his young energy come to him. It rushed through his body making his energy 3 times stronger. He turned from the barrier and started to work on the portal, this time much faster thanks to Alexander's magic. The barrier shook and Ragnor fell fack his magic still flowing but dimmer and slower than before. Raphael a newly turned vampire stepped away from the huddle of night children and went to ragnar's side, helping him stand. The portal was done at the same time that the barrier fell to reveal a tall man with dark energy flowing from him. Magnus recognized him instantly, he was Azazel, one of the princes of hell. Azazel laughed and looked at the Shadowhunters that had sprang in front of the downworlders as Magnus ushered them through the portal. Azazel looked at Alexander and let out another laugh.
"You still made it back to him, huh? I thought you wouldn't find him so quickly, yet it doesn't make a difference. Have you ever wondered how Magnus might be feeling by now ? You disappeared without a trace after going to fight a threat, won't he think you are dead ? " There was an absurd amount of happiness in Azazel's voice as he said this. Magnus looked from Azazel to Alexander, more confused than ever before.
"You didn't attack us randomly. You knew us." Alexander said, shooting forward towards Azazel. Azazel laughed again and slipped into the shadows.
"Of Course I knew you. Magnus's lover, and the saviors of the shadowhunters. You see, if I took you guys with me, not only would I gain enough power to travel, I would also hurt the two things I hate the most. Magnus and the shadowhunters." Alexander looked a bit confused but shook it off and took a bow out, letting an arrow fly towards Azazel. This time he didn't slip fast enough and the arrow pierced his arm. He grunted and started towards Alexander but was stopped by Will's seraph blade. Azazel turned to him, his hand turning into a dagger, but before he could stab him, Jem's walking stick flew towards him, the seraph blade inside of it cutting his back. Azazel let his dark energy out in a burst and sent Will and Jem flying but not before Alexander got another arrow in his chest. He threw the dark energy at him but Magnus was faster and his magic enveloped Alexander before the dark wave hit. Azazel turned to Magnus, his eyes completely black and rage across his face.
"Azazel, dearest don't tell me your still wounded from our previous encounter ? I can assure you that it was all in good faith ." Magnus tilted his head back and let a sword of blue magic formed in his hand as he spoke to Azazel, silently calculating how to get the shadowhunters through the portal.
"Good faith, you say ? You took my power and imprisoned me in edom, in good faith ?" He copied Magnus move and let a sword of dark energy form in his hand.
"Why of course, I could have killed you but instead I simply imprisoned you." Will and Jem had joined Alexander and they were slowly inching forward.
"The humiliation of being brought down by you will be paid in blood. Not just yours but that of everyone you have ever loved. You will know pain like never before. And to begin I'll kill him."
He slipped into shadow and appeared next to Alexander, raising his arm and impaling him with the sword. Will and Jem reacted instantly swinging their seraph blades towards Azazel but he was too fast and jumped back. Alexander fell to the floor, blood already pooling around him. Magnus felt a sharp pain go through him, almost as if he had been stabbed too. He sent his energy to him letting it encompass him once again.
"By the look on your face I choose correctly. Now for the next on-" His words got caught of as a ball of purple energy hit him. It sent him flying until he crashed into the wall and fell to the floor. Magnus rushed towards Alexander who was now being carried by Will. He tried to take him from the shadowhunter but Will only tighten his grip and rushed towards the portal, Jem right behind him. Azazel started to get back up, and Magnus rushed after them turning just in time to see Lizial go through the portal. He jumped in and was disoriented for a second before realizing where he was. The apartment was very luxurious, with a thick burgundy carpet and high set windows. It was Ragnors London house. Alexander had been deposited in a couch and Will was applying runes on his body. Magnus stepped forward and knelt besides Alexander, extending his hand to begin healing him.
"Don't !" Alexander said with such force that both Magnus and Will stopped. "Don't spend your energy on me Magnus, I can handle ."
Will snorted and retorted " Your wound is not getting better, and seeing as it came from a greater demon I doubt you can truly 'handle.'"
Magnus extended his hand again and ignored Alexanders complain as his magic started to pour out. He was just starting to feel the extent of his wound when his blood went cold. There was a trace of his magic in the boy. It couldn't have been from before when he had protected him. This trace was strong and it was obvious that Magnus had healed him from a similar wound before. Yet Magnus was sure he had never met this boy before in his life. He stared into the blue eyes and repeated his question.
"Who are you ?"
