Hi friends! Thank you for reading this story. On with the next chapter Sorry for mistakes!
Enjoy :-)))
"Where the hell are they?" Impatience showed in Jace's voice as he looked around for hundredth time only to meet with disappointment. Izzy slowed down on her heels that made crunching noise on the dried leaves. It had been more than six hours since they had begun with thier search. The night had passed with no sign of Alec or Magnus. Jace wondered if they were even in this woods "I think we should head back. Our back up should have arrived by now. Maybe Alec is also back in the house"
A rustling sound from the right side of Izzy made all the agents on alert "Sshh" she motioned and aimed her gun at the thick bush. All offficers too pointed their gun at the source of the noise. Jace gave a small nod and slowly and carefully he walked towards the sound. Few seconds later Izzy's laughter filled the silence as a squirrel came running at them. Jace rubbed his forehead with a groan "Let's head back"
The agents and three officers headed back at the safe house. Both siblings mentally praying that their brother would be alright.
Alec kicked the ground hard enough to hurt his leg. He felt stupid and blamed himself for falling asleep on duty. He was suppose to keep an eye on Magnus...he was suppose to protect him. He had fucked up badly. A dreadful thought crossed his mind. What if they had found Magnus and took him. No...he would surely have heard some struggle or noise. Did he run away? No...he wouldn't. Not after yesterday night
Alec pulled out his cell. It had only fifty percent battery left and the signal was also very low. He mentally prayed and dialled Jace's number "Please pick up...please" a voicemail that answered him 'The number you have dialled is out of reach. Please try again later'
Alec shut his phone off and ran a hand on his face. He picked up the gun that was lying on the ground and looked at the wide path ahead. He couldn't even yell Magnus's name fearing his voice could be heard by the men chasing them. The young agent took a deep breath "I am going to find you Magnus. I will not give up and when I find you ...I will kill you myself for leaving me"
"Alexander is going to kill me!" Magnus stumbled for the third time. His hand going to the near by tree for support as he took heavy breaths "Chairman meow where are you?"
Magnus had woke up to see Alec's sleeping face turned to his side, hair falling on his eyes and his hand on him. He smiled and brushed off the hair, running his finger on the boy's face tracing the curves of his jaw. Magnus yawned and slowly sat upright. His back was stiff due to mother nature's uncomfortable bed but he didn't mind as long as he gets to wake up and see Alec's beautiful face. Magnus stared at the sleeping boy for few minutes until he felt the cat shift. He was about to pick chairman when the cat jumped and ran pass him into thick bushes. Magnus's eyes widened followed by a silent gasp. He slowly got up and without thinking ran behind his cat
He was lost. Magnus Bane was lost. In attempt to find his cat, Magnus didn't know how far he had gone and now Chairman meow was no where to be seen and he too had no idea where the hell he was.
After searching for god knows how many hours Magnus felt exhausted. His limbs felt like jelly and he was starving badly. The sun was at it's peak so Magnus guessed it had to be afternoon. His eyes fell on the huge trees that seem to be reaching out to him like the hands of so many grimm. It was kinda creeping him out. He wanted Alec. He wanted to go back to him and be safe again. Leaving Alec was proving a huge mistake but he had to find his cat. He also couldn't leave chairman alone.
Every rustle of the leaves were shooting fear in his spine and Magnus felt like crying. What if he never finds his way out and dies in this woods. What if the bad guys find him first and kill him. What if he never gets to see Alec again. Still deep in his thoughts Magnus didn't see a lying branch on his path and his leg got tangled with it. He lost his balance and fell hard face first on the ground. The wind was knocked out of him making him dizzy. Magnus felt a sharp pain in his head followed by a wet trail. The wound in his head had reopened and now was bleeding due to his fall. He didn't have the energy to lift his hand to his head as he began to feel sleepy. Feeling completely drained of his energy Magnus was able to call out one name before he passed out "Alexander..."
When Jace and Izzy arrived they were glad to see the back up had arrived but also disappointed that they didn't see Alec. The siblings did get lost twice on the way back and now it was six in the evening. Jace ran towards them "Thank Goodness you guys came. We need to hurry...this place is huge...we need maps and we should take some water with us...also.."
Izzy caught Jace's arm "Jace! Take it easy. They are the rescue squad. They know their job"
"But..."
"I know you are worried about Alec but panicking won't get us anywhere. Let's get ready to go with the team" Izzy's voice was soft and comforting. Jace nodded giving a tired smile. The siblings took half hour break before they were back in the woods. This time well prepared.
Alec was walking and walking and walking for hours and he was exhausted. He was sure he had passed the same trees atleast twice in last two hours. Still there was no sign of Magnus. His heart and stomach clenched painfully. The agent slowly slid down under a tree as his legs gave out from walking so long. They hadn't eaten or drank anything for more than twenty hours now and exhaustion was slowly taking toll on his body.
Alec blinked twice when he saw two shadows lurking little far away from where he was resting. He scrambled upwards and hid behind the tree. As suspected the two men were the bad guys who he saw at safe house. It seemed they were still looking for Magnus which was a relief to Alec. Atleast Magnus was safe somewhere. He looked down at his own gun. He had four bullets left. He had to save bullets for later because according to him there were eight men who followed them. Where were the rest of them?
Pushing away his fatigue, Alec waited for the men to pass near him so he could lunge into sudden attack. The two men walked bedside him not knowing Alec was ready to strike at them. The moment their backs faced the agent, Alec struck hard on the head of one man knocking him down. The other men growled and aimed his gun at Alec
Alec gave a kick to his hand before the man could shoot. He jumped on the man and caught him by his throat "Where are the others? Tell me!" The agent squeezed for some emphasis and saw the man struggle to breathe. Suddenly the man gave a punch at Alec's side and pushed the agent off him. Alec fell to his side grunting in pain. The guy quickly got up and started kicking Alec in the stomach who had curled himself into a small ball. After taking few kicks Alec caught the man's leg and gave a hard pull. He grabbed his gun that had slipped from his hand before and aimed at the man "Tell me where are the rest of you or else I will pull the trigger. Now!"
The man feared for his life and spoke "Boss asked us to split...they are on the other side" Alec gritted his teeth and gave a hard punch to the man. The other man slowly got up and took his gun and aimed at Alec's back. Alec saw the man smile underneath him and using his quick reflex he moved out of the way
A shot was fired. The man ended up killing his own partner. Alec gave no chance for other guy to shoot again as he fired at him, hitting him straight in the head
Alec panted heavily and crawled away from the two men. He stood on his shaky legs and walked out of the area. Stumbling and pushing the branches aside Alec groaned as some of them hit his face. Soon his legs gave out and the agent fell on the ground. His throat felt as dry as the leaves beneath him and stomach growled at him. Black spots danced in front of his eyes. Alec tried hard to stay awake but he gave up after few seconds and closed his eyes wondering if help would reach to him before it was too late
Magnus smiled in his sleep when he felt a familiar lick on his face. He slowly blinked his eyes open "Hi baby" Magnus shot upright ignoring his sore muscles and throbbing head. Right in front of him was his cat chairman meow who was purring and crawling on his lap. Magnus picked up his cat and hugged him tightly "Where were you my sweet little devil. I missed you so much"
The cat purred happily against it's owner and wriggled out of Magnus's hand "Don't you disappear on me again. Come back chairman meow!" The cat ran to the right side where Magnus was sitting. The cat owner got up feeling dizzy. He swayed on his spot and waited for few seconds. When Magnus thought he felt good enough to walk he followed his cat "Chairman meow!"
Magnus was stunned to see his cat had stopped near a small pond. His dry mouth wanted nothing but to jump into the pond. He stumbled towards the pond and dipped his face into the cold water. Gulping down huge sips Magnus felt a new wave of energy rush into his body. After quenching his thirst the man looked at his cat lovingly and with tear filled eyes "You are such a great pal. Thank you chairman meow. I owe you for this...if only I could find Alexander" his heart ached for Alec's presence and Magnus sighed. The cat purred at him and again ran in straight direction "Where are you going? Chairman meow?"
Alec knew it was dark now even though his eyes were close. He wanted to open them but he was too tired and the pain in his side where the man had kicked him was getting worse. He doubted if his ribs were broken. /p
pSuddenly Alec heard footsteps. It was coming closer to him. His hand blindly going for his gun and with some effort he opened his eyes. A hand tightly clamped on his mouth before Alec could react or take any action. Seeing the person's face Alec's eyes widened
