Shouldn't party's be fun ? :3
Chapter 9
"Want to go to a naughty party tonight?" is what the text from Blake said. Alec thought the offer sounded good but the problem was he knew Magnus wasn't far off, a few minutes after going to his room Alec was sure he could hear Magnus outside of his door; hesitating. "Interested but what's so naughty about it?" he typed back genially intrigued and a bit fearful of the reply might be. A minute later his phone buzzed alerting him to his new text, "Everything ;)" it said. "Okay can I meet you in 10 minutes?" He texted back quickly as a moment latter there was a knock on the door.
"Alec?" his sister´s voice rang, "You can come in" he replied then the door opened but his sister wasn't the only one there, a hooded figure also entered the room. "Hello, Alexander. I am brother Zachariah" he said "Your family has told me about your situation. It seems two Lightwood´s are in an unfortunate position". "What do you mean by that?" Alec blurted. The silent brother moved closer so now he was standing at the edge of the Alec´s bed. "I mean your paratabai. Whatever happened in here isn't just the course of your problem" he said while leaning closer pointing to Alec´s head. Alec could see his face under his hood, surprisingly brother Zachariah didn't have any scars and his eye colour resembled his own. "-and you're both avoiding each over, ever wondered the real reason for that?" the brother asked.
Alec just stayed quiet in thought and confused. "Jace has heavenly fire inside his veins and you have almost the exact opposite, demons poison runs in yours. Do you really think that was just a coincidence?" Brother Zachariah continued "Whatever this is, it´s planned and I must fix it before anything regrettable happens". Alec thought for a moment about what he had just been told. -It was on purpose? And if so maybe they weren't aiming at me, more like they were using me to put Jace in a disadvantage, there was only one person who would do that-. "Sebastian" he whispered under his breath "It was his doing". "Most likely" the silent brother agreed "Those demons were sent to get you".
After the silent brother did some tests and then took a sample of his blood he excused himself and left Alec with his sister who was sitting on a nearby chair, "Let's hope we can solve this mess" she said. Somehow Alec didn't like how she referred this to a "mess" and also didn't like how he realized that he was the cause, if he couldn't be cured witch seemed very likely then the conclusion most shadowhunter´s would have is to get rid of the problem, "Me" he said out loud, "Izz, I'm the problem here. There's a war coming and god forbid we all know Jace is going to be a big part in it and I don't want to be his undoing, the one that brings him down." Isabelle quickly stood up and strode to the bed to sit down on it facing Alec, "Don't say that!" she argued "You're a shadowhunter! You're Jace´s paratabai. He needs you" she assured not liking the lack of confidence her brother was showing. "I'm not a shadowhunter anymore" Alec said and then leant back to take of his t shirt showing his sister his runes "See" he said painfully, "You can barely see them, I'm not blessed by the angel no more" he said breaking down into tears. Isabelle held him held him tightly as he sobbed his heart out.
Magnus didn't know that to do with himself, he was standing in the hallway just a bit down from Alec´s room. A while ago he saw a silent brother and Isabelle enter his room and he couldn't help but wonder what had been discussed. Coming back out of his thoughts Magnus noticed that the black hooded figure had once again appeared outside Alec´s door and had started walking down the hall in his direction. As he neared Magnus could see his black hair under his hood and his un-deformed skin so when he passed Magnus grabbed him by his sleeve "Will" he pleaded "Is there anything that can be done?" he asked referring to his ex-lovers condition.
"There doesn't seem to be but for me it isn´t my priority. Saving Alec is an all too difficult task but take this" Will said as he slipped a vile of blood into Magnus´s hand "Maybe you could come to a resolution for both of the boy's sakes" brother Zachariah said then walked off. "Not everything has to end tragically" Magnus said just loud enough so the silent brother could hear. Brother Zachariah stopped and his voice entered Magnus´s head "There were two people I would have done anything for if given the chance but not him, Not Alexander Lightwood. My priority is the Heronadle bloodline now and nothing more"
After breaking down Alec persuaded his sister that he felt better now and honestly he did. Crying seemed to get the stress out of his system so now that Isabelle had left the room the first thing that came to mind was Blake. He quickly grabbed his phone and looked at the texts he received since.
Desperate to see me again ;) ? btw bring a suit and tie.
Then there was also another text from 5 minutes ago.
You said 10 minutes, Aren't you coming?
Feeling bad Alec quickly text back an apology and hurried to his wardrobe to stuffed a suit and tie into his rucksack and headed out the door but in the hallway as he feared there was Magnus leaning against the wall deep in thought. He hadn't yet realised Alec was there but the problem was that the only way to the exit was past him, Alec walked swiftly and quietly past the warlock with his head down but of course he noticed him then. "Alec?" Magnus said quietly as he walked up to him "Are you okay?" he asked looking at his eyes it seemed like he had been crying. "Yeah, I'm good" Alec replied faking a smile.
-Why is he still here?- Alec thought. "Honestly I feel better now so you don't need to concern yourself with it" he said looking to the ground, "Don't lie Alec" Magnus said so harshly that it made Alec look up. His ex then grabbed his face in his hands holding him so close their eyes were looking into each over´s in a way that made Alec feel that he was looking right into his soul. - He´s only being like this because he thinks you're ill- his voice whispered in his head. "Let me go" Alec said fiercely despite that he was actually scared. Magnus didn't listen; in fact he leaned in closer so that their lips touched , the kiss was slow but passionate and it awaken feelings in Alec that he wanted to keep locked away but all to soon Alec pulled away and started to walk off.
Magnus then noticed the rucksack he had on his back "Alec, where are you going!" he called after him but the boy continued to walk away. "Just tell me!" he called again as he strode towards the boy. Alec spun around in rage "I'm going to a party, okay?! Can't I at least do that!" he shouted then left slamming the institute door. Magnus stood there for a while wondering what party he was referring to but then moments later he remembered, he clicked his fingers and a letter he has previously thrown in the trash appeared in his hand. Opening it he read threw the familiar message it contained every year and then the date witch confirmed his suspicions; it was today but the part of that unsettled him was that he knew for a fact that shadowhunters don't get invited to this kind of party so Alec must be somebody's plus one.
Dear invited guest.
You have been invited to the annual mythical party.
After reading this letter you are sworn to secrecy about the details of thus party unless the person is also an invited.
You may also bring one addiction guest.
But once there you can do what your heart desires.
2-24-13/9:00
It had been an hour since Alec left and he was now in Blake's bedroom trying to put on a tie "Anything goes and yet I have to wear a suit?" he comments. "I think it's kind of funny, we all go in looking respectable then act anything but that. It just shows people aren't always as they seem" answers Blake with a wink. Alec goes all quiet then asked randomly "Where are you from?"
"Huh, America" he answers. Alec puts on his best duh, I already know that face "I mean years and years before that!" he says a bit frustrated since Blake must you known what he meant but it was actually because Blake didn't think that Alec would have taken much of an interest in him that he didn't reply properly. "England" Blake stated, "Ha, I knew it!" Alec said grinning at him "You can just tell, you accent is still there and the way you walk" he said while smiling beautifully at the warlock.
Seemly out of nowhere for Alec, Blake kisses him sweetly on the mouth and then leans with head against his "oh god, I just love it when you smile, I never thought I would and yet" he kisses him again and Alec couldn't help but ruining the moment by laughing "I never thought you could be sweet" Alec giggled then it dawned on him –Was I actually laughing? Why do I feel this way, I actually want him to hold me again and more -
Magnus had returned to his apartment and had his black suit ready on his bed but before he got dressed he needed to check something, he pulled his mobile out of his pocket and called an old warlock friend of his. "Hello" a girly voice answered, "Tess, are you going to the mythical party?" Magnus questioned. "Magnus, long time no talk and yes, in fact I'm there right now" she answered. "Is Blake there and is he with anyone?" Magnus asked. "Yes, I saw him a few minutes ago and he was with someone" she confirmed, "Is this someone a shadowhunter boy with black hair and blue eyes?" Magnus asked confirming his suspicions. "Mag, you know Blake is serious about him" Tessa replied back "I don't want to be harsh but don't come to the party if you're only going to mess things up".
-Ouch- That hit the needle right on the head, Magnus was scared in case things went terribly wrong but he saw things differently to Tessa. "I'm going to fix things not mess them up, it's already too late for that"
After walking around a series of small streets Alec had never been down before eventually they got to a little courtyard between a bunch of tall run down looking buildings. Blake walked up to one of the buildings metal doorways and knocked; to Alec it seemed like a strange thing to do and even stranger that despite his beliefs someone was actually on the other side ready to open it. Blake passed a piece of paper to the man who was on the other side of the door wearing a black cloak , the man nodded and Blake then took Alec´s hand in his and walked in. They were in a small dark entrance hallway but Alec could already hear classical music being played as Blake pushed open another door that lead them into the main room.
The room was grand with chandeliers hanging off the walls and long tables at the side of the room with what looked like all sorts of drink and food. The massive space at the centre of the room was where all different types of creatures danced, Vampires, fairies and demons to the classical music in a way that reminded him of Victorian England. There was also a big staircase that lead up to a second floor where there was a lot of doors witch people where constantly coming in and out off. Blake who was still holding his hand pulled him into the dance floor as a new song started, everyone bowed in sync while facing there partner and then they circled around each over very closely with their hands touching. To surprise and relief of Alec, looking around at the other dancers to see what he should be doing he noticed even with the Victorian theme there were all different types of couples, unlike formal shadowhunter balls no one seemed to care if they consisted of two girls or guys and that made him feel at ease. Soon he and Blake where laughing and smiling while dancing.
Once the song had finished he went over to the drink area and Blake passed him a glass of blue liquid. Alec sceptically looked at it knowing better not to trust the colourful drink but when Blake started laughing it eased his doubts "Don't worry, it's just normal alcohol dyed blue. I promise it won't hurt you" Blake said leaning in close then picked up an identical glass on the table behind the boy. "See" he said while taking a sip, "So, what do you think?" he asked the shadowhunter. "I'm amazed, I never heard of this place before" Alec said looking around the room, "Of course you wouldn't have. Shadowhunters don't tend to get invited since they would most likely forbid it" he said casually while looking at Alec. "Hey! You know I'm one of them too right?" he retorted, Blake couldn't help but ruffle the boys messy hair and smiled at him "Of course I know but you're different." He said then paused a second "Your better than they are" he whispered under his breath in a way that Alec wasn't sure if he heard right at all. "So…what's so naughty about this place that it's forbidden?" Alec asked sweetly while blushing slightly. Blake leaned in even closer to the boy so now he was whispering close to his ear "Those rooms up there" he said moving his head in the direction of the stair case then Alec could see something caught his eye, actually someone. A girl with brown hair on the other side of the room was looking at him, "I´ll show you later" he whispered then started to walk off. "Where are you going?!" Alec called out to him, Blake turned around once again "To talk to someone. Wait here, I will be back in a few minutes"
Alec stood there not knowing what to do with himself as every now and again he looked at Blake who was chatting happily with a girl with brown hair –Who is she ?- he thought. While taking another quick glance at them he noticed it seemed like they were motioning towards him like they were taking about the shadowhunter, that really made him feel uncomfortable so he purposely tried to look anywhere around the room but at them but he wished he hadn't as his eyes rested on a familiar figure. He was on the other side of the room and yet Alec knew it was Magnus, he seemed to be on his own and walking through the crowds of people like he was looking for someone. - Is he looking for me? - Alec thought – Or is this just a coincidence? -. Either way Alec didn't want to be found so he sat down on a chair more out of the way.
Magnus was greeting a lot of people and slowly was getting closer to the boy even though he hadn't noticed him yet. Alec couldn't help but admire him from far, he had a black suite on that made him look elegant and sophisticated but it also saddened him since he didn't look like his Magnus, the lover he knew who always wears bright colours and before he knew it Alec realized three empty glasses sat on the table beside him. – It´s weird to see Magnus look so smart, is this what he looked like when Will was about? - He wondered thinking back to what Camille had told him about the time in witch Magnus knew Will.
Standing up Alec decided that it was better to go and find Blake then wait for his ex-lover to notice him but the red haired warlock and the brown haired girl seemed nowhere in sight. As he went to walk off someone grabbed his sleeve, turning around he found Magnus keeling on the ground in front of him. "May I have this dance?" he asked with his yellow eyes full of hope and before Alec even thought about it the word "Yes" slipped out of his mouth. Magnus smiled at him, then kissed his hand and proceeded to lead him to the middle of the room.
They bowed to each over and started dancing, only then did Alec realise how awkward it actually was. The song was a slow one where you and your partner stood close together as you moved in circles. "Alec, he isn't healthy for you" Magnus whispered as Alec continued to dance in circles with him but he wasn't happy by his comment, he´s the one who left him. – Can´t I even try to be happy with anyone is if isn't you ? - He thought while looking into his beautiful yellow eyes – Can´t he see he´s just hurting me more -. "Neither are you" Alec said out loud. "Huh?" Magnus asked as if he didn't hear what Alec just said. Alec stopped dancing "You're not exactly healthy for me either" he clarified and then walked off to find Blake.
Alec who realty wanted to get far away from Magnus went upstairs and opened one of the doors to find a room that resembled a modern day club packed with people who didn't have allot of clothes on dancing close together. There was also an area at the back of the room with beds and all different sorts of people making out and even looked like some were having sex. A werewolf man with a tattered t shirt walked up to the shadowhunter "Are you alone?" he asked while licking his lips. "I—no, I came with—someone" Alec answered feeling uncomfortable. "Are you sure about that?" the werewolf asked as he leaned in so close their lips almost touched. Before Alec replied suddenly the man took a mouthful of his red drink and then slammed the boy against the wall. The werewolf's mouth was on Alec´s and he could feel the liquid of the man´s drink go down his throat. Pulling his head away Alec started to choke "arrrgh. What- was th-at?" Alec croaked. "Just someone to make you feel more … passionate" he said as he stared to rub Alec in his private area still pinning him to the wall. "STOP!" Alec yelled before jamming his knee as hard as he could into the man's crotch. The man doubled over and Alec took the opportunity to run out of the room. He wanted to find Blake and leave, at the top of the stair case Alec had a good view of the whole room and saw Blake slipping into a door discreetly on the first floor.
Once he himself made his way to the same door he opened it to find a library full of books and at the end of the room another door that was slightly ajar, getting closer Alec could hear voices on the other into the room Alec saw Blake with a knife stabbing what looks to be a human in a black cloak through the heart. There were also two other humans laying on the floor dead covered in blood but the most disturbing part was that the way they were cut looked like something out of a horror movie, there were gashes all over their bodies like a monster had attacked them yet the only other person there was Blake standing above the bodies with a sadistic smile on his face. The scene was imbedded into his mind, the three human´s in cloaks lying in their blood, a black book with the word Pandemonium on it and Blake standing there looking pleased with himself.
All Alec could hear was the pounding of his feet against the floor as he ran. He knew what Blake did for a living, that he was a sadist and yet what he just saw shocked and scared him. There was no noise behind him yet Blake still caught up with him even before he made it to the main door. He grabbed Alec´s hand holding him from behind so very close, inches away from his ear. Alec looked down at the hand holding his arm and saw human blood on them, he didn't know why humans where here at this party but the thought of them being killed made him feel sick as he started to tremble all over. "You can't escape, Alec" Blake whispers to him. –How can he do that! How- can he kill and then smile over it, I-don't underst-and - Alec thought. Frankly it creped him out so with all of his strength Alec pulled his hand free in a bids to run off but he knew it wouldn't be enough to get away, he had to do something unexpected so after two steps Alec span around and then slapped Blake around the face so hard he almost fell over.
Blake stood in shock as he saw Alec run away in fear. –Had I not been honest to you?! - He thought painfully –Hadn't I been myself?! And despite that you leave…-. For once the physical pain in his cheek was nothing compared to what he felt in his heart. If Blake did anything differently he could have stopped this from happening but –Wouldn't that have been wrong? - He killed for a living, he had told Alec that and the boy knew he liked his job, liked seeing people in pain. But this pain right now that he felt for Alec and because of him, he couldn't bear. Looking down at the floor he saw that there's was a phone, he picked it up and immediately recognized it as Alec´s –It must of fell out of his pocket- he thought as he pressed a button the screen lit up with a picture of Alec looking beautifully happy with his arms around the person he can't stand.–Magnus
Alec felt like he had just woken up from a dream, he remembered what happened with Blake all too well but at the same time it didn't feel real, it was like a nightmare. Right now he was standing in the courtyard outside the building yet he didn't remember even trying to get there, just that he ran and now somehow he was standing outside. For some reason he couldn't think straight and needed to sit down so he started to walk over to the bench that was in the middle of the courtyard but he felt like the ground was moving and that he was going to fall over.
"Alec!?" Magnus called out seeing him almost fall over when he went outside deciding to go home. He was by the boy's side in seconds holding him up a moment later. "What's wrong?!" Magnus asked concerned. Alec couldn't get his thoughts straight, he figured it must to been a mixture of shock, his illness and the fact that he drank quiet allot that he couldn't even form a sentence. Magnus who was very worried about Alec brought him to the nearby bench and pushed him down on it. He clicked his fingers and a canister fall the familiar substance he once drank for medicine appeared. "Drink" he demanded in an upset voice, it concerned Alec since he´s never seen Magnus look like that, Magnus was pulling his hands through his hair in frustration. Seemly not happy with just seeing Alec drinking the medicine the warlock pulled Alec in front of him so that he was basically sitting on his lap. Alec didn't argue since he felt too drained to do anything. A few minutes later of sitting in silence Magnus couldn't help but ask about something that has been bugging him for a while. "Have you seen Camille since that day? She always comes here every year". Fear and guilt overtook Alec as he tried to think on how to answer, he couldn't help but feel responsible for her death thought others would say he had nothing to do with it Alec did wanted her dead for betraying him and as by magic when he went to do just that she already was but then he remembered he was his fault, Blake killed her. "Dead" Alec said coldly. "She´s dead"
Ok. I know this chapter was longer than the others but if it was better I'm not sure. If anything I wanted to make it longer because the first chapter 9 I was going to post was half the size of this one and I just thought it was very uninteresting o.O
Where should I take this story? I feel like I don't know what to do with it -_-´ The pressure is getting to me xD
Anyways thanks for reading ! :) Remember every review I get inspiration comes to me and I write more! Also wondering those who liked Blake,do you still like him now? or do you think he´s mental and no good ? lol
