2016 P2

Alec stood watching as Magnus walked away from him, had their relationship just come to an end before it had really started. Agatha left the infirmary, she had been standing just inside the doorway listening to Alec apologising to her older brother for lying to him about the Mortal instruments. Alec turned his head slightly and saw Agatha standing there and almost instantly broke down. Agatha grabbed hold of her best-friend before he hit the ground and guided him to the seats outside the infirmary.

"Aggie..." Alec put his head in his hands and leant against her.

"Hey," Agatha wrapped her arms around him, pulling him close. "Shh, not here," she kissed the side of his head.

As Agatha and Alec sat outside the infirmary they were joined by Jace and Isabelle who both almost instantly sat next to their respective siblings. Jace put his hand on Agatha's shoulder while Isabelle wrapped her arms around her brother. Clary walked from the infirmary and saw the four siblings sitting together, Jace looked up at her and motioned for her to join them.

"He told Magnus that the Clave didn't have the soul sword," Isabelle said quietly to Agatha, Jace and Clary they had to know.

"I know Izzy," Agatha said quietly, Alec had told her before he had told anyone else. "You two go with Clary, Alec and I have some talking to do,"

"Are you sure?" Jace put his hand on his sisters shoulder as she turned to look at him. "You're sure,"

"Jace, I've never lied to Magnus before...I will need to make things right with him...but honestly I don't know how," Agatha looked at Jace as she spoke and then back at Alec who hadn't moved from leaning on her. "Iz, I'll take care of him I promise," Agatha put her hand on Isabelle's as she spoke.

"Only if you're sure," Isabelle put her hand on top of Agatha's.

"Always," Agatha smiled at them watching as Isabelle kissed Alec on the cheek, and she felt Jace's arms right around her in a hug before he took Clary's hand. "Go be your brilliant selves and we'll catch up,"

Clary, Jace and Isabelle headed for the library to do some more research while Alec and Agatha sat outside Max's room in the infirmary. Alec with his head resting on Agatha's shoulder, she closed her eyes and they were both suddenly sitting in his room on his bed. Alec had all but forgotten some of the things that she could do.

"Want to tell me now what happened?" Agatha questioned, as they both moved to sit cross-legged on his bed. "Just like when we were younger,"

"Aggie...I kept it from him, he trusted me and I kept it from him," was all that Alec could manage to mutter to Agatha.

"Alec, he's upset...I know that it doesn't make it okay but think about it," Agatha stopped for a moment before she took his hands in hers and tried something. "This may be a little bit dangerous..."

"Aggie, what are you doing?" Alec questioned as Agatha kept hold of his hands and closed her eyes. "Aggie?"

"We're taking a little trip into my brothers mind...you have to stay still and just watch don't talk," Agatha replied, she wanted to see if the spell that Magnus had taught her as a child would work on him. Agatha cast a variation of a memory spell which allowed her to visit a persons inner thoughts. 'We have to remain silent and invisible,' Alec nodded as they suddenly found themselves sitting on his bed in Magnus' mind.

Alec and Agatha were in Magnus' mind for less than a minute before Agatha decided that they had been there long enough and pulled them both out. The force that she used to pull them both out had Alec lying flat on his back, Agatha grabbed his hand and pulled him back up so that he was facing her again.

"Was that all real?" Alec was curious as to whether the image they had seen of Magnus contemplating making a deal with the Seelie Queen was real.

"I believe it was, I need to have a serious talk with my big brother, but Alec trust that he does love you...he's afraid of being hurt," Agatha leant forward and kissed his forehead as he stared at her not wanting to believe what he had just seen.

"Aggie...what do I do?" Alec sighed, putting his head in his hands feeling like he had just made a total mess out of things.

"Honestly? I don't know," Agatha answered, this time it was Alec's turn to pull her into a hug.

"I didn't think I would fall this hard for someone..." Alec muttered, Agatha let out a little laugh causing Alec too look down at her. "What?"

"Alec no one ever thinks that they're going to fall completely in love with someone and when they do it hurts," Agatha paused as she tried to remember something that he had once told her. "The rune to heal a broken heart...yeah I'm never using that one ever,"

"Don't expect you to ever use it, but Aggie help me?" Alec muttered again, as he hugged her more than before.

"Time...that's the only thing I can suggest, remember its a first for both of you," Agatha sighed, she didn't know how else to help her best-friend there was one thing that she could do. "Up for a little light show?" Agatha pulled away her fingers sparking with purple before she lit up the room with a purple glow. "He loves you, keep that with you,"

Alec and Agatha lay back on his bed before Jace, Clary and Isabelle returned they hadn't realised just how long they had been alone for. The three of the stood in front of Alec's bed staring at them before they started to talk.

"It was a trap, Sebastian or Jonathan wasn't there," Clary said speaking for Isabelle and Jace who seemed to busy staring at Alec and Agatha. "Are we missing something?"

"God no! What happened?" Agatha and Alec sat up at the same time - it was then that Isabelle realised what Agatha had done for Alec to keep his mind off the Soul Sword and the Cup.

"Sebastian Verlac's body was taken over by a demon, they knew we were coming Aggie," Isabelle explained, she smiled a little when she saw that Alec's leather band was glowing purple again. "Did you just?"

"Quite possibly," Agatha smiled, glancing at Alec who was now sitting up staring at Jace, Isabelle and Clary.

"Did she just what?" Clary questioned looking between the four of them.

"This," Agatha rubbed her fingers together slightly and they started to spark before she sent a small purple light show up to the ceiling of Alec's room. As the ceiling lit up Alec flopped back on his bed and stared at the ceiling watching as the purple faded in and out.
