Chapter Thirteen: Something's Wrong.
Magnus snapped his fingers and on the table, appeared a vase with red roses in it, two candles and a bottle of wine. 'Take a seat Alec.' Magnus took my hand and walked me to the table at the end of the balcony, he pulled my chair out and I sat down.
'Magnus,' I said as he sat in the chair opposite to me, 'why didn't you just snap your fingers to get your key back?'
'I wanted to hurt him. He ruined our night and I got mad.'
'Oh, ok. Did I hear you say you love me before?'
'Yes, I love you Alec. I know it's only been a few days but I love you. It was like the moment I saw you, I knew I'd love you. I know it sounds cliché but it's the truth. And I don't mind if you don't say it back, I just want you to know how I feel about you.' Aww, he's cute.
'I-' I was cut off because my phone started ringing, 'I'll be right back.' I pulled my phone out of my pocket, stood up and walked inside. I looked at the caller ID. Isabelle. 'Izzy?'
'Alec! Alec! Is that you?' She sounded hysterical.
'Yes Izzy it's me, what's wrong?'
'It's Dad! Can you get over here now?' I looked out onto the balcony and saw Magnus looking at me, he looked a little sad. I can't leave him here, but it's my Dad I have to go, but Magnus..
'I'll be there soon.'
'Hurry!' She basically yelled into the phone. I hung up and walked back out onto the balcony.
'Magnus,' he looked up, 'I need to go, Izzy said something's wrong with Dad so I really need to go. I'm really sorry but can you take me back to the Institute?' Magnus didn't say anything but he stood up and walked back inside.
The drive back to the Institute was quite, too quiet. 'Magnus, before my phone cut me off before, I was going to say I love you too and I've never felt like this before.' We pulled up outside the Institute, Magnus turned the car off and turned to me. He only looked at me, then suddenly I was swarmed by kisses. 'Magnus,' I said in between kisses, 'I need to go,' kiss, 'inside,' I pulled away, 'Magnus, I really need to go inside, Dad needs me.'
'I'll go with you.' We walked up the steps and into the Institute, opened the door and Izzy ran into my arms.
'Alec! Something's wrong with Dad!'
'Where is he?' Magnus asked.
'In his room,' she started running towards the elevator, 'I'll show you.' We had to bolt after her to catch the elevator. Ding. We were on the second level, Izzy was already running for our parents room. By the time Magnus and I arrived at the room Izzy was standing with Mum. Dad was looking even worse than he was before.
'Mum, what's wrong with him?'
'When we left before it was because we got a call saying there was some sort of vampire disturbance, it was an ambush, your father got bitten.'
