TW - blood, angst, death, wounds etc


Magnus was angry, no he was furious. Tonight he and Alec were supposed to go on a date, he'd booked a table at the finest restaurant in New York and Alec was already an hour late. He was furious, he'd told Alec how important this was for him. He'd never gone to the restaurant before, since he'd never had anyone good enough to go with and he booked the table six months ago. That was how hard it was to get a table despite the use of magic.

He sat on his couch with his phone in his hand, he rang Alec a million times without any answer and he even tried Izzy, Clary and Jace's phones. No-one answered and he was furious. He didn't want to go to the restaurant alone and he'd spent hours on getting ready and even picked out a outfit for Alec witch he'd agreed to wear. Alec swore to be here at least an hour before the reservation but still two hours after it there was no sign of him. Magnus was never going to forgive Alec for this, or maybe he would but that would demand some serious work from Alec side. Suddenly his phone rang, on the display he read "my love", it was Alec.

"ALEXANDER YOU'RE IN SOME SERIOUS TROUBLE GET YOUR ASS HERE NOW!" Magnus yelled at him over the phone but was only met with silence "ALEXANDER!" he screamed again, he was mad and Alec ignoring him didn't make it better.

"It's Izzy, you need to get here NOW. Portal to the institute, please" she sounded worried and shocked, something had obviously happened and he hung up, made a portal and jumped out, the portal dropping him right outside the institute. He ran towards the door, inside was Clary waiting for him. She was covered in blood from top to toe, both red human blood and black demon blood. She was still in gear.

"Are you okay?" Magnus looked at her, he had stopped in shock.

"Yes, I'm fine. But Alec isn't. Follow me, we need to hurry" she said and started running towards the elevator. Magnus quickly followed and they rode up the elevator in silence. Magnus was bracing himself for what ever waited, knowing it would require his magic. All the anger he'd felt was washed away with worry.

He and Clary ran out of the elevator, she led him towards Alecs bedroom. On the bed Alec laid without moving, looking closer Magnus saw his chest rising and falling, slowly, but he was still alive. Beside him sat Jace drawing on healing runes witch just faded without any effect and Izzy was on the other side of him trying to clean all the blood off and finding the wounds. If Magnus had thought that Clary was drenched in blood and looked horrible it wasn't even close to what Alec looked like.

Magnus ran to the bed, sinking down on his knees, Jace moved away, knowing Magnus had a better chance on healing Alec. He placed one hand on Alecs forehead and one on his stomach. "Alexander, my sweet Alexander, I'll do everything I can to save you. Don't worry, it'll be fine" he whispered in Alecs ear not knowing if he could hear him.

"Where are the biggest wounds?" Magnus turned to Izzy. She pointed right over Alecs left hip and Magnus teared Alecs shirt in half. It was a big gaping wound there, it was so deep Magnus was amazed that Alec was still breathing. "Call for a silent brother .. or two" Magnus instructed Jace and then laid all his power to heal Alec. He closed his eyes, reached deep inside him and used his love for Alec as energy. As he opened his eyes he saw that the gaping wound was closed, it wasn't completely healed, it was a big red scar there. But there was no time for fixing that, Alecs body was covered in wounds, some almost as deep as the one he just healed and some small. He healed all the wounds he could find until they stopped bleeding. Then everything went black, he'd used way to much magic.

When Magnus woke up he laid in a strange bed, he guessed he was still in the institute. Beside him Izzy sat, her eyes were red and she was still covered in blood.

"Isabelle. Where's Alexander?" Magnus had a bad feeling, he knew Izzy'd been crying bur prayed that it was out of joy.

She gave him a sad look. "He's dead. The demon blood had poisoned him too bad, neither you or the silent brothers had a chance on saving him" she whispered "I'm so so so sorry Magnus" and then she started crying again.

Magnus just stared at her, she must be kidding or this was just a bad dream. Alec couldn't be dead, his Alexander couldn't be dead yet, he was only 21. He jumped out of the bed and ran out of the room. He just ran around the institute screaming Alecs name still covered in his blood, he couldn't find him anywhere. After what felt like hours he saw someone sitting on the floor, he screamed "ALEXANDER" after the person, but as he came closer he saw it was Jace, only that his hair blonde was black from blood. He had his head on his knees. Jace looked up at Magnus and as soon as he saw the look on Jace face and the darkness in his eyes, he knew, Alec was dead, his Alexander was dead. Nobody could fake the look of someone who'd just lost their parabatai, he'd seen it before, way too many times before.

Magnus collapsed on the floor screaming. The pain of knowing he'd never see his beautiful Alexander again was worse than anything he'd ever felt in his 800 years of living. He'd just lost the only thing that made his long endless life worth living. He knew that the love he felt for Alec was once in a lifetime and he'd only gotten 3 years of it. He'd failed his lovely Alexander, he'd been unsuccessful at saving him as Alec had saved him when he came into his life. Magnus would never feel alive again, his world had died. All he had left was a voicemail Alec left saying he might be a little later than he said and that he loved him. He laid on the floor next to Jace, both crying and for hours they listened to the voicemail, the only thing left of Alec.
