A few moments after appearing in what seemed to be way in the past, Alec realized that he must look ridiculously out of place. He swiftly activated his invisibility rune and just for safe measure, hid behind a nearby, run down barn.
"keluar di sini, anak! (Get out here, boy!)" He heard a deep voice yell viciously. He heard the slamming of a door, and then the nay of a few horses before he got the courage to look at the sight in front of him. And once he did, Alec could almost physically feel his heart rip in two.
Standing in front of him was boy, no older than twelve. He was dirty, matted hair gong slightly passed his shoulders. He was rail thin, wearing tattered clothes. His bright amber cat eyes stood in contrast to the rest of his dull, dirty appearance. With the combination of skin tone, bone structure, and of course his cat eyes, Alec clearly recognized this boy as his boyfriend back home.
Magnus was being dragged by his hair, flailing veraciously against his step fathers grip. Alec wasn't clear where they were going, and lost them for a minute before he heard a large splash. Eyes going wide, Alec ran as fast as his feet would take him, landing right next to the pond the boy was being forced in.
"Anda membunuh istri saya, setan! Mati! (You murdered my wife, demon! Die!)" The man grumbled, forcefully pushing his head into the water. It took all of Alec's will power to not run over and help. But he couldn't. That's not how it's supposed to happen.
Suddenly a large blue light appeared, followed by a scream. Alec lifted his head to see the evil man being burned to the ground. Alec knows how this effected Magnus for years to come. He knew how guilty this made Magnus, and how his step fathers cruel words effected him for hundreds of years after they were said.
Alec heard a small gasp. He rose his head to see the small boy, wide eyed, looking back and forth from his step dad to his hands. Magnus shook his hands a little bit, blue sparks falling out of them. Magnus' eyes had a mixture of wonder and terrified in them. He limped away from the pond and then ran towards the small house on a hill.
Alec felt a little creepy and invasive following him, considering for the first time, Alec was older than Magnus in this situation. Alec followed though, mostly based on curiosity, and because he needed to make sure Magnus would be safe.
Magnus walked passed the house to the backyard. Once there, he made his way to a headstone in the backyard, where Magnus seemed to collapse and lay down next to it. He put his head in his hands for a second before Alec heard the soft sobs that broke his heart.
Magnus was only a kid. Alec couldn't imagine dealing with the death of both your parents, and even more than that, thinking that it's all your fault, at such a young age. Alec could barely deal with being gay at his age. Alec obviously knew all about this, but reading about it was different than seeing it.
Suddenly, the vision went burry and then black, and before he knew it, he was staring up at a wide eyed Jace, Clary, and Isabelle.
