Sorry if this chapter isn't very good this time. It's been a bad week and when I started to write this chapter I was having a hard time focusing. Things just kept getting worse and worse over the week. And awful and sad things began piling up each day. I know I never have my excuse for the quality of the chapters almost every week, but this time I have one… But I think I pulled through this chapter. I hope you like it. Enjoy…
Magnus woke up this morning and things were quite weird. He thought he had fell asleep with Alec and when he woke up, Alec wasn't there. Magnus almost always woke up first every morning. Even if he was busy with work all night, he normally did.
Magnus proceeded to get up and look for Alec. He found Alec laying on the couch in their living room, laying quite awkwardly and uncomfortable. He knelt down next to Alec and shook his bare shoulder. "Wake up Alec…"
Alec moved from where he was laying and muttered something in his sleep and shifted so his head was buried in the cushions of the couch.
"Alec!" Magnus said loudly and shook his shoulder roughly. Alec jolted from his sleep and sat up quickly, knocking Magnus and his head's together. Alec whined and grabbed his forehead. "Ow!"
"Honey, how the hell did you get here? Why?" Magnus asked, slicking his hair back.
"I don't know…" Alec rubbed his forehead. "I remember I had to pee, but everything was dizzy and blurry, and I guess I wound up on the couch."
"Well why were you like that?" Magnus asked.
"I don't know? But my head hurts like hell right now. I feel sick." Alec rubbed his stomach. "I feel like I'm going through a hangover."
"Well I didn't see you drink last night." Magnus shook his head. "You didn't, did you?"
"Of course not. I don't drink often. Especially not at random times like yesterday." Alec complained. Magnus just shook his head again and Alec abruptly got out of his seat on the couch and ran to the bathroom.
Before Magnus could make it to the bathroom Alec had locked the door and Magnus could here Alec gag and throw up into the toilet. Eventually Alec emerged from the bathroom looking green and rubbing his stomach. Magnus brought him to the kitchen and gave him some pills to help his headache and sickness.
"This is weird." Alec said from a bar stool in the kitchen. "I swear this feels like a hangover. I didn't drink any alcohol last night. You didn't give me any did you?" Alec looked questionably at Magnus and pointed a suspicious finger at him.
"No! Of course not!" Magnus raised his hands. "I don't have any reasons to get you drunk!"
Alec just raised an eyebrow at him and drank a bottle of water he was holding. Magnus sat down next to him and put his arm around him.
"I promise I didn't get you drunk…" he rested his head on Alec's shoulder.
"Then what the hell is going on?" Alec threw his hands in the air.
"Does your water taste funny?" Magnus asked and took a gulp of Alec's water. Alec snatched the bottle back from Magnus.
"It tastes like water." Alec shrugged, taking another drink of the intoxicated water.
Magnus took the bottle away from Alec again and drank all the water left in the bottle. Magnus changed the subject quickly. "I have a great idea for a prank."
Isabelle and Simon walked out of the apartment and walked toward their car and headed to a local store to get some supplies they would need for a prank on Magnus and Alec.
They were planning on making a fake body and put it in a body bag and tie it together. So hopefully they will be able to sneak in the body and get away without being caught. It's probably not a good idea since its noon and Magnus and Alec are probably up.
They bought the supplies they needed and readied the body in the car. They stuffed the bag with a fake body and head so when they opened the bag, even then they wouldn't be sure if it was fake or not. They tied rope around the body and then put it in the body bag and zipped it up.
They headed to Alec and Magnus' flat quickly and upon their thinking they decided they would get in the flat through a window. But that was a very bad idea considering Magnus lived on the second floor.
Simon lifted Isabelle up to one of the opened windows and she climbed through it, just barely reaching the windows height.
Isabelle was unluckily though, the one window they picked entered into the living room and she saw Magnus and Alec. Alec was on the floor asleep, and Magnus was hanging halfway off of the couch asleep. They looked like they both feel asleep drunk.
Isabelle sighed in relief and Simon handed up the body bag that was very light luckily. Isabelle took the bag and placed it next to Alec. Simon threw up a bottle of fake blood and Isabelle put a trial of blood on the floor and put some on the fake body in the bag.
This prank wasn't very time consuming and Isabelle was already heading towards the window in less than a few minutes. That is until, Magnus woke up.
"Oh, hey… uh… Isabelle!" Magnus slurred and opened his eyes slightly.
"Shit, he really is drunk." Isabelle whispered to herself. "Hey Magnus, look I was just leaving you can just go back to sleep…" Isabelle walked up to him.
"I'm so tired but I've been sleeping for like… Twelve hours…" Magnus nodded his head. "Yeah, I'm gonna… Go back to sleep…"
Magnus closed his eyes the rest of the way and was quickly back to sleep in his drunken state.
Isabelle quickly headed out of the window and back to Simon. "What happened, I thought I saw you head back over here but you stopped and went back?" Simon looked at her questionably.
"Magnus and Alec were drunk and Magnus woke up. He started talking to me a little, but then he just fell back asleep." Isabelle sighed. "I didn't get caught, necessarily…"
Simon just shook his head and they headed back to their car and went home. Hoping Magnus doesn't recall Isabelle being there when he wakes back up.
Alec didn't remember much that morning. He remembered talking with Magnus and waking up from a drunken state that shouldn't have happened considering he didn't consume any alcohol. They had went into the living room, and suddenly they both had gotten very dizzy and tired. Then it was like they both had drunken alcohol and were now drunk, then passing out in the living room.
Alec did remember passing out in the living room. On the couch. But now he was laying on the wooden floor of the living room, cuddling something in his arms. There was something staining his clothes, something wet on the floor where he was laying
When he opened his eyes he knew it wasn't Magnus his arms were around, but a bulky bag, the size of a human. After sitting up and looking at the questionable thing, he then realized exactly what it was. So he proceeded to scream loudly.
"Magnus! What in the hell happened?!" He screamed. There was a red liquid laying around him, and staining one side of his clothes.
Magnus woke up groggily and sat up rubbing his eyes. "What are you talking about?"
"There's a fucking dead body in the middle of the floor!" he screamed. "And I cuddled it." He added quietly.
Magnus looked to the right of Alec and saw the black bag lying next to him. "What the hell?"
Alec jumped up from where he was sitting on the floor and jumped into Magnus' lap, wrapping his arms around his neck. "We killed someone!"
Magnus calmed his frightened boyfriend and brought him off of his lap and sat him next to the seat next to him. "It's probably just a prank. How did we both wind up passing out in here this time?"
"I don't know? I just want to know why the hell there is a body bag lying on the floor currently!" Alec yelled.
"Okay, okay, just calm down." Magnus stood up and walked over to the body bag on the floor, a coating of blood around it. Magnus somewhat hesitantly unzipped the bag and what was inside startled him.
"What the-!" Magnus jumped away and hugged Alec.
"Please tell me you're joking…" Alec looked at him hopefully. Unfortunately Magnus gave him a worried look and put his head in the crook of Alec's neck.
"It didn't look fake to me…" Magnus muttered. "You go look."
"No!" Alec screamed. "I'm not going to look at the dead body!"
"But make sure… I already checked. Maybe I was wrong…" Magnus looked over at the slightly opened bag.
Alec bravely stood up and grabbed an umbrella from the corner of the room. He walked over to the body bag slowly and nudged it with the umbrella before he looked inside. There was a face with a dead look, covered in blood. His mind screamed at him to run away but he was making sure.
Magnus watched him frightened. Alec took the umbrella and poked the man's face with the umbrella. Alec screamed bloody murder before Magnus could realize what happened and he ran over to Magnus and jumped in his lap again.
When his poked the man's face, his head rolled off of his body and onto the floor. Magnus laughed suddenly and Alec looked at him shocked. "Why are you laughing?!"
Magnus continued to laugh loudly and Alec scooted over to his spot on the couch and continued look at Magnus angrily.
"Magnus!" He yelled.
"It-its fake Alec!" Magnus laughed.
"What?" Alec looked over at the body bag and saw that the head that was laying on the floor, was indeed fake. "What the-"
"You were so scared…" Magnus laughed.
"Did you do this?" Alec asked astonished.
"No, but whoever did just made my day." Magnus wiped his eyes and stood up with Alec, wrapping his arms around him.
"This isn't funny…" Alec pouted.
"Aw…" Magnus laughed as Alec blushed. "It's okay, there are no dead bodies in the flat. I swear." Magnus kissed him on the cheek.
Magnus snapped away the mess and sat back down on the couch with Alec. They were now more focused on the migraines they were both suffering. "Maybe I'm sick, my head is killing me again, and I think I might throw up again." Alec's hand hovered over his mouth.
"Maybe you're pregnant…" Magnus said, and Alec laughed.
"Right… not possible, for two major reasons." Alec stuck up one finger. "One: We are both men, and two:" he stuck up a second finger. "Warlocks are sterile."
"I was just joking." Magnus laughed, feeling sickness come over him. "I'm going to throw up to. Did you get me sick or something?"
"No! I've been perfectly fine!" Alec complained. "What the hell is going on?"
Tessa and Maryse saw the perfect moment to prank Simon and Isabelle when they saw them head out of Clary's apartment.
They entered the apartment and Tessa decided that they would put a spell on all of the doors in the apartment so that when you walked through them, you would just be walking into the same room.
Tessa decided to do this to all of the doors, except the front door that goes to the living room. Fortunately the kitchen had no door, so they don't have to worry about food. But until they took off the spell, they would be sleeping on the couch, and there was no bathroom.
It only took Tessa five minutes and they were already heading out of the door and when they proceeded down the stairs, they could hear Isabelle and Simon's voice's coming up the stairs.
Tessa took a quick decision and changed into Clary, and rushed Maryse back up the stairs to a higher floor than they were going.
"Oh hey Clary." Simon greeted her.
"Hi." Tessa said, having no idea who this was. "Hi Iz."
"What are you doing here?" Simon asked questionably.
"Oh, just grabbing some canvases and paints." Tessa said quickly.
The couple looked down at Clary's hands, noticing she had none of those items in her hands. "I was just heading up there, but then I heard your voices and decided to come and meet you."
"Okay. You're disqualified, so that means that no pranks are waiting for us up there, are there?" Isabelle asked.
"Oh, no!" Tessa joked.
Luckily Tessa's act was believable and they walked upstairs and Tessa entered the apartment and she walked over to what looked like an open study. Full of bookshelves two art easels and a few sofa chairs.
Tessa just grabbed some paint brushes and paint and decided she would just leave with that.
"I thought you needed some canvases." Isabelle asked as she was about to leave.
"Oh, looks like we are out. I'll probably just pick up some when I head back to the institute." Tessa said.
"Okay, would you like to have lunch with us here Clary?" Simon asked.
"Oh, sorry but I'm going out to eat with Jace here in a few." Tessa excused herself.
"Okay, well see you later then." Simon said.
"Bye Clary." Isabelle waved.
"Bye…" Tessa said quickly and left the apartment.
Tessa changed back to herself and quickly grabbed Maryse and they fled the apartment building quickly.
"Did Clary seem strange to you?" Isabelle asked.
"Yeah…" Simon said. "There's probably a prank sitting in here waiting for us… Somewhere."
"I hope not…" Isabelle sighed, sitting on the couch.
"Yeah me to." Simon sighed walking off. "I'll be right back."
"K…" Isabelle sighed and turned on the TV. Isabelle looked over the channels and heard Simon shout suddenly.
"What the hell?" he shouted.
"What did she do?" Isabelle asked, getting up from the couch.
"I don't have any idea how Clary managed to do this in the first place." Simon said startled.
"What?" Isabelle asked, finding him standing in front of the one of the bedroom doors.
"Watch, I was going to go to the bathroom." Simon opened Jocelynn's bedroom door and stepped through it. "And now I'm over here!" Simon shouted from in front of the bathroom doorway.
Isabelle looked at him weird. "No way…" Isabelle opened the bedroom door and walked through it, bringing her though the exit of the bathroom, all the way across the living room.
Isabelle looked around her startled. "How? She couldn't have done this?"
"This wasn't Clary. It's probably one of the warlocks." Simon said.
"Well both teams left have one warlock, which one is it?"
"I don't know… It wasn't Magnus and Alec was it?" Simon said.
"Well, I don't think that that was Clary in the hallway we saw a minute ago." Isabelle stated. "It was Tessa and my mother."
