So, it's back to Alec's POV. Oh and the dream is in italics (just to point that out if you didn't realise), enjoy. :)
I wake up in the morning with my skin all clammy and tears dripping down my cheeks. I haven't had the dream since I met Magnus. The dream that haunted me from being a young child came back last night. I thought I'd got over it - decidedly not. This time Magnus is there too.
It's pitch black and the air is bitter. The wind stings my arms biting at me through my jacket. There is no sign of life so I must be alone. I try to move forward with all my might but I'm stuck. I can't move.
A faint voice, shouting grabs my attention. It grows louder until I hear it call my name. "Alec! Alec, help me!" The voice belongs to Max. A bright, square patch of light appears in front of me. I blink a few times trying to understand the situation and gain my sight back.
I can see Max. He's desperately struggling in the grasp of a Clave member. Jace and Izzy are there too fighting to get to Max, but being held back by the Clave. My stomach drops as I spot my parents standing, watching the event. Why aren't they helping Max?
There is nothing I can do. I'm utterly helpless, destined to watch as my little brother is forced to the floor. Unless...
"WAIT! STOP!" I call, my voice echoing through the eerie night. I'm surprised at how loud my voice is, but it works (by works I mean makes the members of the Clave stare at me and forget Max for the moment). "Please, I'll do anything." I say, a little quieter this time.
There is a moment in which nobody moves and then suddenly all hell breaks loose. It's not until The Inquisitor shouts, "Take him, leave the boy." that I feel a pair of firm hands grab my arm and pull me forwards. I can move again so I wriggle around, trying my damn hardest to get out of the strong grip.
I look up and my eyes connect with cat eyes. For one second I let my guard down and allow myself to be propelled forwards - everything is alright, Magnus is here... Then I see his evil smirk and doubt flickers inside of me.
Next thing I know, I'm taking the place of Max being beaten till I fall to the ground. Everything is going hazy as I cry out for help.
"Help me." I manage to croak. I raise my head to see the members of the clave (including my parents and Magnus) all looking down on me with smug faces...
I read somewhere that all dreams mean something? What does my dream mean?
I feel sick. Just remembering the dream makes me feel ill - but it's more than that. I feel hollow, like there's an emptiness inside me that can't be filled up. The feeling that I'd only ever been without on two separate occasions, both when I'd fallen in love, had come back with a vengeance after Magnus and I broke up.
Maybe, I shouldn't go to college today. I don't feel too well.
That's it for now. I would love to know what you guys think, do you like it? Could anything be improved? Should I do more chapters in Magnus' POV?
P.s I know Alec hasn't been to college much at all yet, but he will and he will interact with other people too next chapter. :)
