Sorry I haven't written for a while, but here's the next chapter!

No promises. No regrets..?

It had been a week since the movie theatre; I hadn't seen Magnus lately because he had some Warlock business to attend to. At least, that's what he said. I couldn't understand it, every time I sent a fire message; he would either not reply or give a brief reply and sign it "Warlock Bane". I had already decided this morning over breakfast that I was going over to his place, I couldn't stand it anymore! Jace had plans to see Clary and Isobel was going out to see her new boyfriend, I think he's a faerie but I lost track a long time ago. So I said bye to Jace who was just checking out the latest weapon delivery to the sanctuary and gave Isobel a quick hug whilst she was doing her hair in her full length mirror, her gold whip lay strewn on her bed after the past weeks demon raids, nothing we couldn't handle. And left the Sanctuary and headed for Brooklyn, not knowing that Jace was looking out the window from Isobel's room:

"Something's going on with him Iss, It's just so obvious." Jace said as he stared after Alec,

"Just leave him be Jace, He'll sort out whatever it is. It's Alec after all." She replied

"You're right I suppose." He answered back with a shrug and left the window as Alec turned the street corner.

I called a cab after I turned the corner, out of view of the Sanctuary, and got it to take me to Brooklyn. I arrived ten minutes later and gave the cab driver $20, not even caring to get change, and walked up to his front door. The door had been left open so I walked inside, and walked into his living room. The place looked trashed. His sofa was strewn about the place in bits, a table lay in pieces underneath a large window which was smashed through, and showing off a grey skyline. I walked over to his bedroom door which was slightly ajar and covered in a black ichor that slowly dripped down the frame and left a dark blue stain, I used my foot to kick it open slowly, so as not to fling the ichor across the room, and I stepped in. I gasped as I scanned the room; his golden bed sheets were torn and stained black, his wardrobe was black rubble, glowing a deep red of an old fire. I walked over to the far side of his bed and saw a red stain growing from under the bed; I rushed over and fell to my knees as I searched under the bed for the body I knew was to come. My hand fell over something thick and cold. I grabbed on to it and pulled, I rested my eyes on the body that I had just pulled out. "OH THANK GOD" I cried, it was just the remains of what seemed to be a werewolf. I sat there for a moment as I gathered myself, I stood and walked out. There was someone coming into the flat at this point, I knew I had to hide in case whatever did this would come back so I ran over to one of the sofa chunks and hid behind it. As I peered over I saw a long black coat facing away from me, then it turned around and I saw the wearer. MAGNUS! I got up and ran over and hugged him. "Woooaahhh hey, hey Alec?" He said, struggling to keep his balance. "Oh Magnus, I didn't know what to think. You were acting all weird and then I come to your place and it's... well like this." Alec replied in a breath, pulling Magnus closer. "We better sit down..." Magnus said quietly

"Where?" Alec replied, nodding over to the broken couch he had just hidden behind. "Oh ok," Magnus replied "Let's go too Steamy Joe's?"

Once they had arrived and got a cup of coffee, Magnus set down to explaining. "I'm sorry for... being distant." He started "I've had some trouble with a coven of Werewolves as you probably saw from my place. I couldn't see you or reply to your fire messages because I was being watched by quite a few other down worlders and I knew they would go after you if they saw me get in contact, I could only send the replies that I did because I had a friend deliver it, that's why there was so much formality. "

"Oh Magnus, I'm so sorry. I thought you were ignoring me." Alec said as he stared down into his coffee cup.

"You weren't to know Alec. Anyway it's over now. And I think the Werewolves will think before they next try to do me over, the bad way of course." He said with a dry laugh. Alec just leant forward and grabbed Magnus' collar as he kissed him. Magnus was taken aback by this and pushed him back. "Alec. Oh Alec." Magnus said as he then walked round to Alec's side of the booth and started kissing him with a dark passion. They sat there for some time until Joe came over and asked them to stop, "Here Magnus, get a room okay?" he said as he chuckled walking away. Magnus and I just smiled at each other then left with our hands intertwined. We got back to his and he set about restoring the place. All it really took was a wave of his hand but the Werewolf body had to be buried properly as Magnus didn't want to anger any more Werewolf kind. Once the place was back too its normal beauty Magnus and I sat down on his couch and just lay there together. I was so glad he was back, I hadn't realised until now how much I truly missed him and his glittery skin. He was just so beautiful.

I rested my hand on his chest as he wrapped his arms around me. I kissed him once as he lifted off my top and took off his. Then he helped me with my trousers and I helped with his. We lay there for a while. Just naked. Until we moved to the bedroom and on to his bed, his sheets were now a silk black with glowing blue symbols on them that shone a flaming red as I hit the sheets and he lay on top of me. We kissed a lot more passionately now; the symbols on his bed flew of the sheets and floated around us as he caressed my neck and we made love with a beautiful red haze all around us.

I awoke the morning with a beautiful sensation. I loved this Warlock. I loved him with all my heart.
