Hey guys, i know i know its been so long but i got really stuck for ideas. I hope this will make up for it.
Magnus had been at the library when he had heard the news. He could still remember every detail. It had been raining outside so when Izzy came in she was drenched.
Over the years while Jace and Alec's faces had grown older Isabelle's had stayed the same, almost as though it was stuck in time itself. He could still remember the sadness that seemed to consume her bright eyes and her struggling to tell him.
"Isabelle whats wrong ?" Magnus had asked
"I... It... It's Alec" She said her hands trembling. Magnus's heart had stopped and it became harder and harder to breathe.
"no... no Izzy please tell me he isn't..." If Izzy's eyes had not answered his question then the gentle nod did.
He is gone. Alexander Lightwood is gone
Even though he willed them not to, his eyes betrayed him. Silently never ending tears flowed freely. He could tell they were starting to draw attention and silently walked out the gloomy library to his apartment. The walk had been silent, neither of them knowing what to say to the other. He remembered how busy it had been, people going about their lives, completely unaware that one of their protectors had been taken.
He remembered walking up the stairs to the loft and with each one he became more and more lost in his thoughts, the never ending thoughts. None of them managed to last long enough for him to hold onto. All going at a hundred miles an hour.
He remembered walking into his apartment and Izzy disappearing to the bathroom to fix her make up that had been ruined by the silent tears that seemed to come and go. He had walked over to the couch and found one of Alec's jumpers, he remembered holding on to it like it was the only thing keeping him alive, his one hope. Chairman Meow had came up to the couch and tried to comfort Magnus.
That cat always did know when something was wrong.
"Pneumonia, not a demon. A stupid mundane illness" Izzy had said with a slight laugh. She sat down on the edge of the couch and wrapped an arm around Magnus to comfort him, to also hold onto Alec's jumper
A few years after that, Magnus still found himself thinking about that day every time he passed the institute. He hadn't been in since a couple days after the funeral. Maryse and Robert had told Magnus that he was no longer welcome and hadn't been in since. On occasion he would be visited by Jace and Clary or Izzy and Simon, and at some points Max who ever the years had grown quite fond of the warlock and the stories he had about Alec, his brother. He remembered finding out that Maryse and Robert at both died. He wanted to go to the institute and be there for Izzy as they had both been there for each other when Alec had passed, but he couldn't bring himself to so instead he sent his condolences and stayed away.
A few months later he had been invited to Jace and Clary's wedding and decided that he couldn't stay away forever.
Why not it be for a happy occasion.
He remembered walking into the institute. It hadn't changed. He found himself walking down the winding, endless halls until he had reached Alec's room. He opened the door and found it also looked the same. Nothing had been touched since he had died, almost as though they were expecting him to come back. he walked in to the room, it still smelled like Alec: Cinnamon and blood.
"Magnus" He heard someone say. His heart leaped with hope, for a split second it had sounded like Alec. He turned around and found Max waiting in the doorway.
He looked so much like Alec, it was uncanny.
Magnus laughed at the memory's and went to the study to get some paper
He had found himself starting to write Alec letter. It was the only way he was able to deal with the grief. He found comfort from writing them like at some point Alec would be able to read them.
Dear Alexander,
Today it has been 20 years since i last saw you.
Magnus stopped for a moment when he noticed a tear on the page, wiped his eyes and continued.
I went to the institute today. It still looks the same, yet I no longer recognize any of the faces, I walked to your room and found it untouched gathering dust, well not dust it looks as though it is dusted weekly!
Magnus laughed and continued.
Izzy is doing great, I went to visit her and Simon in Idris last week. Their daughter, Amelia and her husband Carter were also there. They told me all about there travels, so far they have been to: Britain, Scotland, Belgium, France and Spain!
He stopped for a minute and went to find Alec's jumper. He walked through the dark house and eventually found his bedroom. He found it hidden in a drawer, he put it on walked through to the study and continued.
Jace and Clary have moved to London to run the Institute there, Their twins, Fable and Fabian, Have both decided that for their year abroad they are going to go to Scotland to be close to their parents.
Magnus looked at the family photo on his desk and continued to write.
Max and His wife, Skylar, have had their fist child, a girl called Adrianna and are still running the New York Institute. Ragnor passed away a few weeks ago, I'm not sure quite what happened. They say it was a Shax demon but, I don't know it doesn't make sense that one, ONE Shax demon could kill him, he is one of the most powerful warlocks in the world. I'm sure he will be telling you about what you've missed and driving you nuts while doing so.
Magnus laughed and imagined Alec going to all lengths to get Ragnor to shut up.
I hope your enjoying paradise up there, It wont be long until everyone is up there and you peace and quite will be ruined!
I Love You,
Magnus.
