Chapter 6:
Thank you to everyone who reviewed sorry I haven't had the time to reply to everyone.. exams and all.
Disclaimer: Still not mine.
Magnus POV
I watched as Alec slowly moved from his chair and to the front of the room, bowing once to each of the two kings and coming to a stop beside them. Alec held out his hand and the mortal sword was given to him by one of the kings. I tried to tear my eyes away from Alec's pale face, but I couldn't. I never could, I never can, and I never will be able to stop staring at the beauty that is Alexander Lightwood.
Alexander was most defiantly nervous; he was shifting from foot to foot for a moment before stopping and speaking.
"As you have just heard from my Parabatai we were on a hunt to f-find.. Downworlders to.. kill."
Alec's POV
Taking in a deep breath I continued.
"We found some just as Jace said; we heard voices and went to investigate. Jace went around them while I faced them head on." Another deep breath. "I grabbed the tall black haired one of the two and put a knife to his throat.. ready for the kill. Jace got the one with white hair and beat him. Just as we were about to kill them I was thrown to the ground and knocked out I didn't see much after that."
"Alexander Lightwood did you see anything else at all after your injury. Remember you are under the influence of the mortal sword and are obligated to tell us everything."
A voice said which must have been by one of the kings' close by but it sounded so distant. All I could see was the memory of green and gold, the eyes of the young man before me who looked so beaten and weary. The sword it seemed answered for me, as it was the sword who forced the next words from my mouth.
"I saw green and gold so bright so brilliant." With each word my head slowly rose until I was looking deep into those two pools of glorious green and gold. I smiled not one of twisted hatred, but a genuine smile that held so much sadness that I'm surprised I didn't cry. "He was leaning over me and he tied a piece of cloth around my head to stop me from bleeding out. He saved me, and I owe him my life."
"Nonsense, my boy he may have save your life but you owe him nothing at all. He is a Downworlder born to sacrifice his life for us Spartans and especially the elite Shadownhunters." King Robert said with a throaty chuckle at the end of his little speech. A loud chorus of 'Hear Hears' could be heard echoing through the room, in agreement with the kings words. I however was still looking at Magnus, watching him for sign of forgiveness when I saw nothing but a blank stare from him I handed the mortal sword back to the kings and went to sit back down. Vaguely hearing King Robert tanking me for telling them what happened.
Back in my seat I sat unsettled shifting around trying to find a comfy position. That blank look Magnus gave me was too much. I have to help him even if it's the last thing I do.
Magnus POV
I can't believe I did that was looking at me with the most adorable puppy eyes ever and I gave him a BLANK LOOK. What the hell was that for. Stupid, stupid Magnus, You should have given him a reassuring smile or a wink or something but no you had to give him a fucking blank look like you have absolutely no feelings what so ever for him no recognition at all! Inner Magnus breath-in-out-in-out- be as cool as a cucumber. Damn him and his big blue beautiful eyes. His voice was so much nicer than Jace's I mused. That's when it struck me, Jace had said a mean thing about Downworlders whenever he could squeeze it in, Alec however hadn't said any mean thing he even smiled at me with a look that was so heartbreaking and sad. I deduced from that fact that.. wait for it.. Alexander Lightwood my gorgeous little soul mate (even if he doesn't want to be, he is my soul mate no matter what he says) my sweetpea doesn't despise Downworlders.
That thought made me so happy I nearly grinned before realising where I was. When I snapped out of my thoughts I saw Aline and Helen as one of the kings had called them moving back to their seats. Shit I have just missed their speech.. well I was there so I do know what happened although all I really paid attention to was Alec.
"Isabelle Lightwood please step forward please"
Looking up from the floor I looked right into Alec's sisters harsh brown eyes. Her eyes always used to be so soft and gentle, what happened.
"So as Aline and Helen said we went to find where the boys went because they hadn't come back to our hideout yet. We got there and completely trashed those Downworlders." She smirked. "And the rest is history."
"Thank you Isabelle. Please take your seat." Isabelle made her way to her seat but not before flashing me a smirk.
I signed. Now for the verdict.
"We have all heard from those that were there at the scene. Both me and King Robert have agreed that those Downworlder before us are going to be sentenced to death, on display for all to see just outside the accords hall. They are to starve for 6 days and on the 7th day they are to be stabbed by every elite Shadowhunter who they have done wrong to. That is all."
I stood there in shock as everyone started to move around me. This is how the magnificent Magnus Bane was going to go out.
"I'm sorry Magnus forgive me." Turning around there was Alexander a few steps away. I stared. "I will save you, I promise." His words were nothing more than a whisper but I heard them loud and clear.
Turning around he walked away. Leaving me to stare after him.
