Alec reaches across the bed without opening his eyes. There is nobody there. Sitting up quickly, he looks around the bedroom. There is no Magnus.

Alec throws the covers to the side as he gets out the bed and walks into the living room. Magnus isn't in the loft.

Alec sighs and walks back into the bedroom. He stares at the wall until he realizes that Magnus' dresser isn't there. Alec runs to the closet and only his clothes are hanging up.

Alec quickly gets dressed and walks back into the living room. All the touches that Magnus did to the loft are gone.

Alec takes a deep breath and opens a portal. He leaves the loft.

He arrives outside the Institute. Taking another deep breath, he walks in. He passes ShadowHunters, some he vaguely recognizes, but most he has no idea who they are. They in turn, ignore him. He walks into the War Room. Nobody questions him being there, nor does anybody offer any assistance.

Alec walks over to a female ShadowHunter sitting in front of a monitor, "Excuse me Miss, I'm looking for Magnus Bane."

She glances at him, "He's been dead for over ten years."

Alec gasps, not just because of the news of his husband's death, but the coldness in her voice, "How did he die?"

"Forsaken attack. Most ShadowHunters die young."

Alec mumbles, "Thank you", as he walks away from her and leaves the War Room. He runs out the Institute and almost trips down the stairs. But he grabs the banister and keeps his footing as he continues. He runs over to a bench and sits down as he starts feeling dizzy.

He puts his head in his hands as he takes deep breaths to clear his head.

Once his head clears he slowly stands up. He says out loud, "I need to get to Max, he can fix this." Alec opens a portal and leaves the park.

He walks out into the loft, ready to tell Max what happened, then stops as he sees that the living room has no furniture in it. Alec looks around and the kitchen also is empty. He walks around and sees the bedrooms are also empty.

Alec sits on the floor in the living room as tears run down his face. Not only has he lost his beloved Magnus, but Max and his fathers are gone as well.
