The two rushed out of the small café, speedwalking down the sidewalk. Once they where around the corner at the end of the block, Alec stopped suddenly and huffed. "Ok now, start explaining. Who are you and why are thoes people supposivley after me?" Alec asked, red in the face from the..pressure, yes pressure.
The misterious man sighed, and ran a hand through his hair. "Ok well for starters, i'm Magnus Bane. And about the people after you, i'll explain that to you when we get to our destination." Magnus said, pulling out his phone and a small can of spray.
Alec glared at him, clutching the strap on his messenger bag so hard his knuckles began to turn red. "Ok listen, I'm not going anywhere with you and you're gonna tell me what's going on. Right now." Alec said, planting his feet firmly into the ground.
But it seemed Magnus had other ideas, "yeah..No," he said and sprayed whatever it was in that can in Alecs face, knocking him out almost immedietly and catching him before he colapsed onto the ground.
He quickly dialed a number on his phone, then put it to his ear holding it in place between his face and shoulder as he tried to hold Alec up. but then decided better of it and set him down up against the wall. It rang twice before a voice came "you got him?," they said. Magnus gave them a chipper "yep"; then the line went dead.
It was dark and scilent when Alec woke up, so dark where he had though he hadn't even woke up and that this was some type of dream. But he thought otherwise when he pinched himself. "Hello?" Alec said, swinging his legs over the bed he was laying on.
He frowned confused, he didn't know where he was and the last thing he remembered was running away from thoes "assassin" people with some guy. Alec then realized that he still had yet to tell him how he was in anyway involved in whatever it was the guy had said.
He searched around the dark room, trying to find a lightswitch or lamp, or any sourse of light at that.
Alec felt around the walls until he could feel a button, and not knowing what it did ofcourse he pushed it, luminating the whole room. His eyes went wide when he saw it. Sat in the very middle of the room was a large king sized canopy bed, clad in blood red satin sheets and the darkest shade of purple and burgundy velvet pillows.
The drapes over the windows where the same color as the sheets over the bed. There was a deep red love seat up against the wall next to the bed and a dark oakwood bed-side table next to it. What was on top of it had caught Alec's attention, a picture of the crazy guy he had met at the café and a small woman text to him, under his arm.
He looked just like her, Alec noticed, assuming that she's his mother or his sister. She was quite beautiful though, her long, coal black hair stopping just above her waist. She had gental features, a kind smile, she looked very innocent.
She in someway reminded Alec of his mother, how she always used to smile, even in the worst of situations.
"She's beautiful huh?" Someone said from behind Alec, making him yelp and hurridly turn to see who it was. It was that mystery guy he had met earlier. "Oh uh, yeah. She looks like you." Alec said awkwardly. The man smiled, staring down at the picture. The two had the same smile Alec noticed.
"At's my mom, Lucy." He said, turning to face Alec. "And i'm Magnus, as I forgot to tell you before I knocked you out, kidnapped you and brough you here." he said. Alec's softened expression then turned angry as this guy still had yet to explain himself.
"Oh yeah, I happen to remeber that." Alec said through gritted teeth. Magnus chuckled nervously and scratched the back of his neck, "yeah." he said, drawing out the "e". But Magnus quickly sobered up, turning back to his ol' ignorant self. "Well then, i'm gonna need you to follow me." He said.
Alex scoffed and rolled his eyes, "and why would I do that? Because the last time I "followed you", you ended up knocking me out and kidnapping me." "Yeah well this time I asked, and i'm not gonna knock you out! So come, on." Magnus said grabbing Alec's sweater sleeve and dragging him out of the room.
They ran down the long hallway, passing by what had to be no less than 30 rooms or more. This house was huge, almsot like a castel. They finnaly reached a stop at a large brown door, with carvings in it, what looked like runes thst Alec had seen in a fantasy book he read not too long ago.
"What was that for?" Alec asked. Magnus smilpy shrugged, pulling up the large golden ring-like handle and pushing the door in. "I'm pretty sure if I handn't done that. I would have probably had to knock you out." he said.
Magnus then moved aside, letting the door open the rest of the way on it's own. There on the otherside of the door was people, lots of fucking people.
