Chapter Fourteen: Damn Vampires.

'Bitten!' You could hear the panic in my voice.

'Yes.' Mum replied

'Is he..he..' I couldn't even get a sentence out. You've got to snap out of it. Dad wouldn't have wanted you act like this. 'Is he going to turn?'

'I don't know.' I could hear Mum's voice waver, like she was trying not to cry. I thought back to Dad before and after dinner, he looked fine before but after he didn't. What happened in between? I couldn't remember, but then one name popped into my mind. Raphael. He came and got Dad during dinner, but why? Why did he want to see Dad? One way to find out, go see Raphael.

'Mum, I'm going out. I'll be back as soon as I can.' Mum couldn't speak, but she nodded, I left the room, Magnus and Izzy followed me.

'Alec, where are you going?' Izzy asked.

'I'm going to find out why Raphael wanted to see Dad.'

'We're coming with you cuteness.' Only Magnus could use the word 'cuteness' at this time.

'No, you and Izzy stay, I need to find out what's going on, on my own.'

'Alec, he's my Dad too. I'm going with you.'

'And I'm not letting you go by yourself into a vampire nest.' I was going to lose this argument.

'Fine,' I sighed, 'Go get ready and meet me at the elevator in 10.' I said to Izzy, she ran off to go get ready, 'Magnus, do you need any weapons or protective clothing?'

'I'm the High Warlock of Brooklyn, I don't need weapons or protective clothing.'

'Ok, well I do.'

We met back at the elevator, Izzy and I dressed in our Shadowhunter clothing and weapons in our strong belts. 'Where's Magnus?' Izzy asked, looking around.

'I don't know, I left to go get ready.' I saw Magnus, but it didn't look like him, he looked normal. He had changed out of his sequent shirt and changed into a grey long-sleeved shirt and black pants. His hair wasn't spiked up, it was flat and had no glitter in it. I couldn't help but stare.

'Something wrong sweetie?'

'I've never seen you without your hair spiked and glittered. You look so mundane.'

'I don't want to wreck my new shirt if we're going into a vampire nest. And I didn't want to make them jealous of my hair.' He was joking about the hair part, but I could hear something in his voice, I wasn't sure.

'Alright,' Izzy clapped her hands together, 'if we want to know what they did to Dad we must go and see them now. But how?'

'My car's out the front, we'll take that.' Magnus said.

We pulled up out the front of Hotel Dumort, which means, Hotel of the Dead. I walked just a little ahead of Magnus and Izzy, I knocked on the old door. It opened slowly, the face that opened it was pale and was scarily beautiful. 'Hello,' I said to the vampire, 'can we please see Raphael Santiago?'

'Yes, you may' his voice sent a shiver down my spine, I should be used to hearing a vampires eerie voice after spending twelve years of my life fighting them. 'Please walk this way.' We followed the vampire into the hotel, until we stood at the bottom of the stairs. 'Stay here, I'll be right back with Master Santiago.' I looked around the dark hotel, I could see pale faces looking at the three of us and one face was walking towards us.

'Magnus? Magnus Bane is that you?'
