Chapter 5
Disclaimer: Still not mine.
Alec's POV
I was nervous no doubt about it.
I walked in step with Jace and Izzy as we walked into the trial room of the Silent Brothers underground lair. Down here Magnus had been locked up and tortured..No Alec don't think like that, think of a plan to get him out along with the other Downworlders who where captured and make it seem as if they had got out without help. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. Ha no. I know it's not going to be easy, but I have to, for Magnus.
On my right Izzy was chatting excitedly about something I was to nervous to digest while on my left Jace tried to stay composed, which I easily saw as a mask, for inside Jace was obviously jumping up and down like a crazy person.
As we got halfway into the room I became aware that Jace had said something, this something made Izzy laugh so trying to make sure it seemed like I wasn't nervous as hell I laughed to. As I looked up from the floor to look at Jace my eyes met gold-green.
Magnus stood about 4 meters away looking right at me frozen in shock. I felt guilt. Scratch that I felt so guilty you could have take guilt from everyone in Greece and add it together and my guilt would still be 10x more than their added guilt, everyone in Greece is guilty for something or other. Magnus tried to smile at me but it turned out as more of a grimace which just made me, if possible, even more guilt and regretful.
"Take your seats and we will get started" Said one of the kings' voices from the front of the room, causing everyone to rush to their seats and quieten down. The only ones standing were the Downworlders near the front, the kings and the Silent Brothers that hovered around the edge of the room. Everyone else was seated. I was sitting in the front row along with Izzy and Jace on my left and Helen and Aline on my right, senior Spartans and older Shadowhunters sat around us on the semi-circle layout of seats not unlike an amphitheatre, but a lot smaller not comfier though.
I stared at Magnus from where I was seated I had a great view of him, although his back was to me. I know I shouldn't have but my eyes started roaming his body starting on his head of hair I slowly moved my gaze downwards till my eyes got transfixed on Magnus arse. And can I just say I want him so badly, not just in a sexual way but also to love and to hold, just like I've always secretly dreamed of.
"Jonathan Herondale please stand and give your statement." King Robert's voice broke through my musing and on my left I felt Jace rise and walked the few steps to King Robert and King Stephen's side. He stopped next to them but not before bowing in respect for the royal leaders of Sparta.
Everyone had their eyes fixed on Jace awaiting his statement. Jace was passed the mortal sword and swore an oath to tell nothing but the truth. Then he started speaking his version of events. "As you all know my fellow Spartans and Shadowhunter we have waged war on our sworn enemies and slaves.. Down-fucking-worlders." After this comment everyone in the room cheered and whooped, excluding the Downworlders who flinched, and well me. " My Parabatai Alexander Lightwood and I set out on our mission to eradicate any Downworlders that we crossed." Jace smirked, no doubt loving every second of his chance to humiliate and badmouth the Downworlders.
"We had heard of two of those shits had wandered up the mountain paths and normally returned by dark, it was nearly dark as we started to climb the mountain pass. It wasn't long before we heard annoying voices and whining not to mention the disgusting stench of Downworlder scum." Jace snarled. "Alec grabbed the black haired arsehole and held a knife to his throat and I started to beat up the one with the white hair and black eyes.. he got more than a shiner from me I can assure you" Jace cackled. He seriously looked crazy when he did this, no one else seemed to agree with me as everyone Spartan and Shadowhunter started to laugh their heads off. They were just as crazy and demented as Jace I thought as I settled my eyes on Magnus who like the other Downworlders had been pushed down onto their knees so they could be looked down upon by us Spartans both metaphorically and physically.
"Thank you Jonathan Herondale you have been a great help, not that we needed it we all know whose to blame." King Herondale said as Jace nodded and walked over to his seat. That's when I realised I had missed most of what Jace had said.
"Next up is Alexander Lightwood, please come forward and give your statement."
Oh shit..
