This chapter might be a bit confusing, most of it is set in the past with Blake and some new characters that will make sense at some point later one because they are effecting whats happening the in the present time with Alec.

Chapter 15

18 years earlier:

It was night-time in Idris and a young boy was leaving his house in secret like many times before. Like all of these other times he went through the gate of his back garden and into the forest just outside the boundaries where he met up with his friend; A boy with fiery red hair but this boy wasn't a shadowhunter like him, he was a warlock he had met a year ago. When they first met the young shadowhunter saw the warlock as an opportunity since the red haired boy seemed clueless as to what he was so he tempted him into a pact of sorts, he would tell the warlock boy who he really was and show him how to use his abilities if in return he would use them for the shadowhunters benefit if he asked.

Right now was one of these incidences as the boy required the warlocks help to make a portal. Once he got to their meeting place his friend was waiting there like always, for some reason he looked sad today so the shadowhunter smiled at him and gave him a greeting hug "It's pretty cold tonight …sorry I took so long" he apologized. The warlock just smirked back, "But that doesn't stop you making me wait here every week, Jimmy" he commented. The boy laughed back, "Well, someone needs to make the portal". They talked for a few minutes about the usual, Jimmy asked the warlock how things were going with his dad and urging him to still keep the fact that he´s half demon a secret from him.

"Well, you know I can't keep a lady waiting" Jimmy finally said walking towards the portal, "Ohhh, so she is a lady" the warlock said smiling "Shut up, Blake" Jimmy snapped back. "Is she good looking? If so, I might steel her for myself" Blake said grinning. "And here I thought you were doing some shadowhunter business but really your just hanging out with a girl" he continued. "You know, sometimes I wish you could be more quiet" Jimmy said in response.

Present Time:

When Alec woke up immediate panic went through his body and for a second he thought he might be dead. Even now with his eyes open all he could see was pitch black and it terrified him but as the minutes passed and he adjusted to the dark Alec realised that a bag of sorts was covering his head that had little breathing hole that didn't let in any light at all.

A moment later that changed as he heard a door opening and he could now see light from behind the fabric. The floor he was laying on then shifted and something clicked – I'm in a van- Alec thought in dread –How long have I been asleep?- he panicked. Hopefully not so long he couldn't escape and make his way back home. He started to struggle on the floor just before someone grabbed him by the ankle and pulled him out to fall onto the ground with a thump to his head but he still couldn't move properly to make more of an effort to escape.

The person who was still holding on to his ankle then dragged him across the pebbled ground where he could feel the tiny rocks cut into his skin and the pain was agony but he couldn't move enough to protect himself but then –SLAP-. There was a sound of a loud slap but surprisingly it wasn't aimed towards him. "Get off him!" a man shouted, "I'm sorry, Sir" another man near him apologized. A moment later Alec was lifted off the ground and now was being carried in the arms of one of the men. He wanted to push this man away but his body still felt too weak from the drug. – I am weak- he thought –All I do is cause problems…- he continued to think till he started to shake and shiver from the fear and the drug. "Shhh" the man cooed but it didn't help as the boys breathing seemed to get worse to the point where the man pulled the sack of the boys head out of fear he wasn't getting enough air.

He saw recognition flicker on Alec´s face as he was being held by the blonde man who drugged him in the alleyway. There was someone about Alec that reminded the man of his brother Daniel and that startled him because it was like he was being judged by his brother for not becoming what he looked up to and by losing himself in revenge. Before he could change his mind the man walked over to the old building where his partner in crime, Sebastian was waiting.

17 Years earlier:

Blake had been walking the streets for hours now in a daze. It had been two years since he met Jimmy who showed him how to use his powers but at a price. The moment has finally come when something went terribly wrong, he was practicing spells in his bedroom when one went wrong and caused a massive fire engulfing the house within minutes. Since he found out he was a warlock Blake had felt incredibly guilty for the death of his mother and even thought Jimmy tried to reassure him that him being a demon didn't cause her to die during childbirth he knew it couldn't had helped and things had been getting progressively worse with his dad since he had to lie to him all the time. Blake didn't want to see his father's face when he gets home from work to find his house is almost burnt to the ground so he decided to use this opportunity to leave and never come back.

-I've been thinking about it anyway- Blake rationalized, - I can't stay in this mundane world forever, not when everyone I love is going to die anyway- he thought while he walked to the spot where he always makes a portal to Idris.

Present Time:

Alec got carried to an abandoned factories that was in front of him. He got taken to the smallest one that was empty inside and was carried to a small room at the back of the factory that was also bare. The man left him there on the floor so Alec laid there for minutes till he could move enough to get up and once he did the first thing he tried was the door –Surely it wouldn't be open?- He thought but to his surprise it was.

This was it, his chance to escape so he ran as fast as he could hoping to get out of the main building but a voice stopped him. "Alexander" said a very familiar voice echoing from behind. Turning around and looking up where the voice came from was Sebastian smiling down at him from the second floor banister. "It's nice for you to join us" the white haired boy said with the blonde man standing next to him. "So it was you!? What do you want with me?!" Alec shouted back in anger. Sebastian just glared back then a second later nodded to the man next to him that walked away. "You´ll see soon" Sebastian finally replied, "But for now… these will keep you busy" he said then walked out of sight and a moment later a big door on the left side of the room opened letting in dozens of demons. Alec knew he was in deep shit.

16 Years Earlier:

Daniel woke up in a foul mood, why? Because his elder brother always seemed to be elsewise nowadays. Going downstairs he wasn't surprised to see that Blake was the only person home, he needed to question him. "Do you happen to know where Jimmy is?" he asked while taking a seat on the sofa and Blake just smirked back in response. "Spit it!" Daniel demanded, "He´s in England" Blake finally answered. "England? Why the fuck would he be there?! And who with?" Daniel retorted, "Frankly, Dan. That's all I can say. He´s an adult now thus he can do what he wants" Blake replied while eating his cereal. "Don't you care?" Daniel asked in a mood, "I'm just glad he allowed me to live here" Blake replied honestly.

They sat in silence for a few minutes but Daniel seemed to gain confident with his next words, "Tell me now and tell me the truth" he demanded "Or I will tell Jimmy your secret". That did startle him greatly, "How di- ?!" he began. "I have my ways" Daniel replied, "I know your unfaithful, that you swore to only serve my brother and yet you go around shaming our name by taking jobs from other families that involve killing nerveless." He taunted. Daniel really knew how to annoy him and couldn't understand how Jimmy only saw a sweet little brother when he was far from it. "Ok… you got me" Blake sighed, "But I really do need the money". "Why don't you get a normal job then?" Daniel question, "Well, that's because no one wants to pay a warlock to do an honest job" Blake replied smoothly. "Liar" Dan retorted, "It's because you're a monster, that's why. I've seen you come home, clothes full of blood and yet you have a smile on your face. You enjoy killing" he accused.

Present Time:

Blake eventually answered the ringing of his phone after the fifth call, "Who is it?!" he asked annoyed. "Hello Blake" a gruff voice replied that put Blake at unease, "I may have someone here that belongs to you." The man said. "Come quickly before the demons eat him up" he laughed then cut off the phone as Blake stood in shock. His phone beeped with a text a moment later with an address. Blake had no doubts that Alec was in trouble and he had no option but to save him.

After five minutes of fighting Alec already felt exhausted, he managed to kill a few demons but they kept coming. Like before when he was with Blake these demons had someone different about them so he made sure they didn't cut him as he didn't want to go through that hell again. One medium sized demon ran up to him ready to kill and Alec only had a moment to jump out of the way but this time successfully cutting its stomach with his blade revealing its unusual human like red blood. –There was someone defiantly wrong with these demons- he thought while dodging another one.

Magnus had sent what felt like a million texts with no answer. He was just doing to get Alec himself even if he had to deal with Blake, "the master assassin". But just before leaving his house the door bust open with a demon on the other side, it jumped towards him but since it was only a lesser one Magnus gave it a killing shot before it even touched him. –Is this some kind of joke- he thought as he looked down at the dead demon in front of his feet but then noticed that it had a collar around its neck like it was owned and piece of paper was folded around it. He picked it up and was surprised that it was addressed to him.

Magnus, I gave you a warning and you just blatantly ignored it so now you have to suffer the consequences. I have here Alexander Lightwood to be exchanged for the book of white and you better hurry since I'm not known for my patience.
