Here we go again. I've got an idea for a new story but I'm wondering if I should write it or not. Again, it's different and slightly confusing but I think it would be interesting to read. Should I bother? Please let me know, I need your opinions. Anyway, here's chapter 6!

Chapter 6

Alec stood before the door to the infirmary, hand poised to knock. His mind was going into overdrive, he couldn't help. Should he knock? What if it disturbed Magnus? What if there was nothing he could do and Jace was dying? What if Jace was fine but that meant he had to talk to Magnus? But what was even worse, what if Magnus refused to talk to him? What if he was going to be ignored?

"Alec?" Came Izzy's voice from behind him. He instantly dropped his hand and turned to face her. "What are you doing?" She asked.

Alec swallowed nervously. "I was just...um... checking on Jace?" It sounded like a question.

"You were frozen stiff." Izzy chuckled. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah I...I'm fine."

Realisation dawned on Izzy's face. "They called him didn't they?" Her voice was suddenly soft.

"Yeah." Alec croaked.

His sister sighed and walked towards him, wrapping her arms around his waist. They just stood there for a while, silent.

"Will you even consider talking to him?" She eventually asked.

"Actually, I have."

"What?!" She screeched loudly, breaking away. Her eyes were glinting mischievously. "When? What happened? What did you say? What did he say?"

"Calm down, Izzy." Alec grumbled.

"No!" Izzy yelled. "You have to..." Hiccup. "Tell." Hiccup. "Me!"

Alec grabbed his sister's shoulders. "Isabelle. Listen to me. There's nothing to day, calm down."

Izzy gave him a look of dispair but kept her mouth shut. She gave him the puppy dog eyes but he refused to be persuaded. "No." He whispered.

"Fine." She sighed. Before slowly smiling. "If you won't tell me, maybe he will." She knocked on the door loudly, Alec giving her a look of sheer horror.

Magnus opened the door and smiled. "Well, hello. I guess you're here to see your brother. If not, I'm flattered."

Izzy laughed and Alec scowled. "We're here to see our brother." He snapped.

Magnus looked at him silently for a second before nodding and letting them past. Jace lay sleeping on a bed and Alec rushed towards him. Izzy and Magnus stayed back.

Magnus watched the shadowhunter kneel by his parabatai's side and smiled sadly. "He really cares for him, doesn't he?" He whispered to Isabelle.

"He does." She replied. "Jace is everything to him."

Magnus didn't know why he felt a pang of jealousy at this. It was irrational, he knew, but still...

"I should go." He said unnecessarily loudly, hoping that Alec would hear and stop him.

Alec did look at him, eyes wide, but said nothing. Magnus knew that he wanted him to leave.

"Wait, Magnus. I want to ask you something..." Izzy began.

Magnus flicked his hand dismissively. "Ask me later, dear. I have a feeling that I have overstayed my welcome." He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and wrote his number on it. "Call me." He said, with a dazzling smile and wink. Why not?

What he didn't see was Alec scowl at this. He didn't like his soulmate flirting with his sister. Magnus didn't look at him again before he opened the door and walked out.

Izzy laughed slightly, looking at the paper. "Go after him." She giggled.

"Why?" Alec snarled.

Izzy sniggered again and showed the paper to him.

Izzy, please tell your grump of a brother to start smiling. I can't stand the fact that all he does is mope. His smile is what I know I will fall in love with. Also, he is totally dreamy when angry. Actually, he is totally dreamy all the time.

Ps: Don't show this to him. I will track you down and personally destory all your clothes. Here's my number...

Alec stared at it, mouth agape.

"He likes you." Izzy stated. "Go after him."

Alec did nothing.

"Now!"

At this, he got up and ran out of the room. He didn't want to confront angry Izzy. Also, there was a tiny part of him that wanted to talk to Magnus. He knew it was a mistake but if Magnus walked away now, there was a possibility he would never see him again. He couldn't let that happen.

Magnus was already quite a way down the corridor and Alec started to run faster. "Magnus!" He yelled. He saw Magnus stop and turn towards him, smiling.

When Alec got to the warlock, he was out of breath and panting. He had to get himself together. Quickly.

"Umm..." He muttered. Great start, Idiot. "Thanks."

Magnus raised his eyebrows, saying nothing. Alec immediately wondered if he'd said something wrong and started stuttering. Like a mad man.

"F...F...For helping Jace. I'm sure he would thank you himself... if he was conscious. But he's not so I'm doing it. And he's my parabatai so we're connected anway. So... in a way... it's kind of like he is thanking you. T...T...Through me."

What was that?! You're better than this, Lightwood! He thinks you're insane now!

But Magnus' smile just got wider. "Well, you can tell Jace that I'm honoured by his gratitude but I was just doing my job."

"Oh." Alec said breathlessly. "Oh. I...I will."

Magnus laughed and turned to walk away. "I smile!" Alec yelled after him. Anything to stop him leaving.

Well, it worked. Magnus looked at him again, slightly sadly. "Not around me."

Alec opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't find words. "And, since Izzy showed you that, she can say goodbye to her sparkly stilettos."

"How did you know she has..." Alec began.

"I'm a Warlock, darling. I know things." And that was all he said, before walking away again. This time Alec didn't stop him. Becasue he had nothing to say.

Well, what did you think? And let me know your thoughts about the other story. I need to know what you think. Xx
