Chapter 13
It's what would be described as a beautiful Sunday morning for most people and yet Magnus woke up restless. Even in sleep he had an eerie feeling that unsettled him greatly. Pulling the covers below his face he was struck by the light going thought the window and had to put his arm over his face but as his senses sharpened he became more aware of the dark sensation lingering in his room. Pulling his feet out to sit on the edge of his bed he was shocked to discover that on the nearest wall directly in front of him there were words smeared across it in blood:
Bring the white book or Jonathan will die.
Letting the message sink in it took a while for him to come to the conclusion that by Jonathan it meant Jace. –But why do they think I care about his life? - He thought but then realised that of course whoever sent this message knows that he cares for Alexander Lightwood and for his happiness –They why didn't they directly threaten Alec´s life?-. Before Magnus could think it over too much he grabbed his coat and went out the door, going to the institute was the right thing to do.
Outside the building Magnus hesitated a second before knocking as their seemed to be a commotion going on inside but once he did someone made their way to the door and opened it in record time. It was Jace and he seemed more than a little stressed "What do you want?" he asked leaning on the side of the doorframe, "I don't have time for you right now" he said and then went to slam the door in the warlock's face but a small figure grabbed the boy by his t-shirt and pulled him back, it was Isabelle. "I'm sorry" she said "We seem to have a problem right now". -It couldn't be a coincidence- "Does this problem happen to do with Sebastian?" Magnus inquired. "How di-did you know?" she asked in an unsteady voice that was unusual for her character but reminded him so much of Alec. "I'm guessing you also got a message?" Magnus asked. The girl just nodded in reply and let the warlock in.
In the living room the whole family was gathered, well everyone minus Alec he thought sadly. He suddenly felt very worried for the boy, Isabelle had told him that he was living with Blake now and even if it's hypercritical Magnus didn't trust him in Blake's care and especially now that theirs someone out there wanting the white book, someone that would most probably do anything for it. Studying his surroundings Magnus could immediately see the message that had been left. In the middle of the room were loads of feathers and to his horror on closer inspection they were actually angel wings that had been forcibly removed from the creature. What stuck him as strange thought was the lack of blood surrounding it but then he remembered his bedroom this morning. -Well, at lease I know where the blood came from- he thought sarcastically.
Isabelle was now on the other side of the room talking to her father, he didn't look pleased to see the warlock but with a nod of his head the man pulled out a piece of paper from his jacket and gave it to his daughter. Isabelle then strode back to the Magnus's side. "This" Isabelle said as she held out the paper so he could see it "was found on its body" -Follow my orders or deal with the consequences-it read. "Do you know what it is talking about?" the girl asked frustrated. Magnus just nodded, "Well?!" she exclaimed. "Someone wants the book of white in exchange for Jace´s life" he finally said. To be honest the warlock didn't wanted to say, in fact if the boy in question didn't happen to be Alec´s paratabai then Magnus would most likely had kept quiet and not given up the book as chances are this person was Sebastian and gods knows what fucked up thing he would use it for.
It was late afternoon when Blake and Alec stepped out the house ready for their date; they decided to go for a walk in the park and then go to a nearby café but now as they walked down a small path by a river hand in hand the warlock could tell that something was bothering the boy. -What is it?!- He thought annoyed, "Are you okay?" he asked out loud. "Yeah…" the boy answered quietly. –Well, that got me nowhere…- , "Do you feel ill? I thought you seemed better recently" he questioned. The boy just looked up at him and did his worst fake smile ever "I do, I just feel a bit tired" he answered sweetly but in reality that wasn't true at all. About 10 minutes into their walk Alec had noticed a figure was following them, at first he thought it was his imagination but now he realised it was Magnus. –Why is he following me?!- He thought as his chest tightened. "I tell you what, let's go to the café now" Blake said interrupting his deep thoughts. Alec agreed hoping that his ex wouldn't continue to follow.
He was now sure that Alec had noticed him as the boy´s movements seemed unnatural and stiff but despite that what caught his attention the most was that he was holding Blake's hand right now and he was extremely jealous. He could feel it in every ounce of his being; he wanted the boy back now so he could treasure him forever. But that wasn't his top priority at the moment, after going to the institute the shadow hunters decided that giving up the book was too dangerous so Jace is now officially housebound and being guarded at all times for his safety but Magnus wasn't happy about this outcome, there was a nagging feeling that if they couldn't use Jace then they would use someone else and the thought of it being Alec nerved him so much he now found himself stalking the blue eyed boy in hopes to protect him from this possible danger.
Once they arrived at the café Blake and Alec sat down at a small table in the corner of the room by the window. A few minutes had passed now and Alec was feeling less tense and was chatting happily with Blake till he saw a flash of a person inside the building going around the corner. Alec knew instinctively that it was Magnus and that he wanted to talk to him, "I going to the bathroom" he told Blake and then went off in that direction. "Okaaayy" the other man simply said in a suspicious tone as he watched his lover walk off in a hot sweat.
Outside the restaurant a man stares, "What are the chances" he though "All in one place". He sees this as an opportunity, Following Magnus was the right idea since he went to see Alexander Lightwood he got lead straight to the red headed demon who killed his wife, "I could slit his throat right now" he thought but when remembered the deal, that he couldn't…for now. He needed the book first but ultimately what made him happy was that his boss was right and everything was going according to plan, he was going to get his revenge.
Magnus didn't know why he made himself so visible, only that it was the wrong thing to do. Maybe Alec is happy with Blake? Maybe I'll only ruin things and make him hate me more? But despite that he now stood in the restaurant waiting, hoping that Alec will come. All the days and nights he spent alone, was it worth leaving Alec? He realised it wasn't, it was a foolish thing to do. Even if one day this love will break him it would be better than suffering alone, heck, days , hours and minutes with the boy was like heaven and when he´s gone he felt as if he had been dropped into the cold depths of hell. If It comes down to it he would give up my life to be with him so Magnus couldn't have any regrets, not in this world where everything is so uncertain, he had to apologize and most of all he had to make his feelings clear.
Once Alec walked around the corner towards the bathroom a hand grabbed his wrist from behind and the boy turned around to see beautiful yellow eyes looking back at him. –Magnus- The last time he had saw him was at the party and he truly thought that would be the last time but right now Alec couldn't understand why he said those things when the last thing he wanted was Magnus to hate him. Somehow after that demon poisoned him he just pushed everyone away; he wanted to destroy everything but right now in this moment everything felt clear and all he could see was the man he loves.
"I'm sorry" the warlock suddenly muttered while looking at the ground. "What?" the boy said confused, Alec was taken aback by apology, -I'm the one that should be apologizing?!- The boy thought. Magnus somehow looked really vulnerable right now and it broke Alec´s heart, he wanted to make it better, he wanted his sparkly warlock to be happy. "I'm sorry for everything I put you though" the warlock choked. –No, this isn't right?! I put him through soo much more…- "no…" Alec said in a voice that as barely a whisper. "I was scared" Magnus confessed and before he knew what he was doing himself Alec took a step forward and another till he closed the gap between them to kiss the warlock on his lips. When he pulled away he immediately regretted what he had just done, he wanted to be with Magnus but he didn't feel like it was the right thing to do for both of their sakes. – We shouldn't get back together because…- he thought, "There's no telling what I will do, I love you Mags and don't forget that but…Your immortal and I can't deal with that at the moment" the boy said. –Yes, this is the right thing to do-
Blake knew something is up, he could see that Alec was tense as soon as they arrived and the fact that he is taking so long just to go to the bathroom is more than suspicious to him so he got up and made his way to the toilets where he sees Magnus and Alec taking. Wanting to know what it's about he hides round the corner listening.
Magnus now looked really sad as his face distorted in anger, "What about him then?!" he says referring to Blake, "He´s immortal too!" he shot. Alec once again felt a pang of deep guilt "I realized it too" he said sadly looking away from Magnus "I just don't care about him the same way as you" he confessed. "Then get back together with me" Magnus pleaded, "Alec, I will look after you and I will try my best to find a way we can be together. Don't you know that?" Alec just smiled sadly at his lover "Yes, I do…." he said "and that's why I'm going to break up with Blake and then we can try to work it out"
Blake couldn't listen no more, he felt sick to the stomach. He thought this was his chance now that Alec had moved in but in reality it seems like the warlock could just pop-up out of nowhere and just steal what is his at any time of the fricking day.
Magnus face lit up with a smile that shock Alec to the core but also worried him how he could affect him so much. "Tomorrow" Alec stated "I need to g-get my stuff and..." he stuttered. "Don't worry, I understand…. But Alec, do us both a favour and just leave? You don't need to tell him. I'm afraid he might hurt you. Ill text you when I'm outside the flat and then we can leave together" Magnus informed. The boy himself didn't know how to feel about that, Blake had been honestly open about being a sadist and somehow knew he was still a nice person but he didn't want to cause any more problems. "Okay" Alec finally whispered. Magnus leaned in resting his forehead on the boys and kissed him one more time on the lips. "See you tomorrow" Magnus said with the sweatiest of smiles.
