Hey everyone, sorry it's been so long since I last updated, but I realised I had exams and it was my birthday on the third so I have been very busy so I tried to make this chapter as long and filled with action as I could… I will try to update sooner but I'm back to school today and will have to deal with homework :L but never the less I would like to thank everyone for their kind follows and reviews, they have been great to read and a special thanks to non-fanfic users which I haven't been able to reply to ;)
Disclaimer- I do not own the mortal instruments series. All characters are created by Cassandra Clare, however, I created the plot.

Alec's POV-
I snapped out of dream as soon as I heard Izzy scream my name in no way she had ever screamed before. Her voice had hints of horror and urgency whilst she screamed. I couldn't make out all of the words due to the menace in the court. "Sebastian… Clary… Door…". I grabbed my phone and dialled for Magnus. I ribbed my seraph blade from its sheath and sprinted towards the door. Every step I took closer, the more I recognised and resented his face. I saw him drop Clary and disregard the damage he could have done to her fragile body. Without a second thought I charged at Sebastian but his alien senses allowed him enough time to grab his demonic blade and defend himself against my attack.
"What do you want with her?" I questioned him.
"Nothing which you would know about" he snarled "you will never be able to have a relationship with you jailed sister and dead brother". My blood boiled beneath my skin. I never thought it was possible to be this angry. I struck him with my blade and he retaliated. I was the alpha of the fight. He was falling beneath me. All though it was subtle, I could see the small tint of fear in his eyes. I slashed at his arm as he screamed in pain. I could finally pay back what he did to me. To my family. To my friends. To Alicante. And especially for Max.
"Alec? What do you want" Magnus spoke in spite over the phone. At that moment and that one second which distracted me Sebastian got the better of me and shoved his blade into my stomach. I made out a large grunt followed by many others as she slashed through my stomach.
"Alexandra, are you alright? Where are you?" He screamed in panic with sheer horror in his voice.
"You're talking to that warlock?" He spat in my face. "You don't deserve to live as a Shadowhunter homo… you only deserve to die a slow, painful death to feel the shame you placed upon the Shadowhunter race. He stabbed my stomach repetitively until I buckled to my knees. He then grabbed my hair and pulled my neck up so my eyes could reach his. I tried to hide the pain he cause, but it was no good his black eyes could see through my mask. He smirked studying his handy work before concluding his attack by stabbing the blade at my heart. My eyes were losing focus and I screamed out in pain in a way I did not know was humanely possible. He released the knife from my chest and picked Clary up and ran into the difference. The gravel was cold against my face. I felt I was spinning. My vision was filled with large black spots. This was it. I was going to die. I was losing consciousness. My eyes were slowly closing. The last thing I saw was a spark of blue.

Jace's POV-
The prison guard grabbed me by the collar as if I was some puppy and shoved me into the cell.
"No bedtime kiss then?" I asked, if I was going to die here, the least I could do was piss off these guards. I lay on my bed and gazed up at my blank ceiling. The bed was incredibly uncomfortable, but the guards ignored my numerous complaints about it. I was thinking about Clary, when we met on her birthday on the roof, when I kissed her and when that stupid-son-of-a-bitch got in the way of it, although, it was totally worth the look on his face after he saw me kiss her. Why did everything have to happen to us? We could've easily have gotten married and had children, and if we survived till then, lived till we were old in each other's company. Why did this have to happen to us personally? Why couldn't all these fucking events happen to a different couple, family, or even race, the vampires can live for fucking ever and they never seem to have any problems?! I took a deep breath in and sighed. The cell was so quiet, until one voice which I never thought I would here again screeched.
"GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME YOU BASTARD!" she screamed. It was only clear, no other person could be so elegant and monstrous at the same time.
"TELL MY WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO HER!" Her? Surely they can't be talking about Clary?
"You can't help you stupid little friend if you don't compromise missy" a guard with a husky voice stated. There were no lights in the jail and it was night so I couldn't make out the figure, though I hadn't recognized his accent and build.
"FUCK OFF YOU WANKER, YOU CANT TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" with that the guard snacked her in the head with a hard railing causing her body to go limp. I hid in the shadows on my bed, hoping the idiot wouldn't notice me and put me in with her. Like a planned, he threw her to the ground onto the floor. As soon as I heard the door lock shut.
"Don't worry Izzy" I consoled her "Everything will be alright, I promise" I picked her up carefully so nothing would become any worse than it was and lifted her to the bed. Like I suspected, he didn't search her properly and I found her seraph blade hidden in the waist line of her jeans. I quickly grabbed it and set to work to help her.

A Few Hours Later.
Magnus' POV-
I couldn't stop pacing. I tried everything on him, and he wouldn't wake up. He looked so peaceful, sleeping, I recall the times I would just lay awake and watch him. Why am I thinking like that? Why was I so worried about him? This man tried to take my life away? I don't love him… or maybe- NO MAGNUS. This boy was willing to make a vital life decision without your consent or opinion. I don't love him. I don't love him. I don't love him. Why is everything so easy to say and not to do? Everyone deserves a second chance right? But he tried to destroy my life, stripping me of my immortality. How could I be feeling two sides of an argument. This never happens to me. I sound like a wacko, striving with myself about this boy. Oh Alexandra, the things you do to me.
Alec's POV-
I fluttered my eyes open. Where was I? The very modernised apartment, was incredibly familiar. I was lying down on the brown l shaped sofa in the centre. I couldn't put my finger on where I was until I noticed a very distressed warlock walking around me. Magnus. Wait… I'm in his apartment, he saved me. He was running his hands through his hair. He looked incredibly stressed, his shoulders were tense, I had never seen him like this. He stopped in the centre of the room, he looked as if he was deciding something when something in my stomach caused me to gag and then start having a coughing fit. Magnus' head whipped to my face almost immediately. His shoulders relaxed and he let out a breath which I didn't know he'd been holding. He then ran to the cupboard and grabbed a green liquid, which I probably would have refused if it wasn't rammed down my throat before I could reply. Moments later my throat relaxed and I was able breath properly.
"Magnus… Whe- I mean what happened?" I questioned "Where is everybody?" I could see the solemn expression in his eyes.
"I'm sorry Alec I tried all I could, but I didn't get there in time, and they won't release Izzy." Everything came back to me. Jace's sentence, Clary's capture, Izzy's arrest and especially Sebastian's return. The tears started running down my face, I didn't even realise I was crying. Magnus got on his knees so our faces were level.
"It's going to be alright Alexandra," I hated everyone who called me that name, but the way he says it send shivers down my spine. "I promise I will not rest until everything is okay."
I had waited to see him for it seemed like years, but only a few weeks had passed since we broke. I was gazing at those beautiful eyes he has and the overwhelming of seeing him after what seemed so long and him being so close, I grabbed his face and embraced him into a passionate kiss. When I broke away I thought I had lost him all together, until he kissed me back.
"I. Love. You. So. Much"I managed to whisper during the breaks in our kisses.
"I love you too Alexandra"
