Chapter Twenty-seven: Just a Stroll.
'Why did you run away Robert?' There was annoyance in Raphael's voice.
'Because I don't want to be treated like a child, I want to be with my family and I want to be away from you! You're the one who turned me into this-this, thing!'
'Yes, but you are the one who wanted to have vampire like powers.'
'Yes that may be true, but I didn't want to become one of you! Why did you attack me?' The attack, I forgot all about that. I felt bad, I've been too busy worrying about my problems, I totally forgot about Dad's.
'I didn't attack you?' Raphael was offended.
'If it wasn't you, then who did?'
'I do not know, but I am going to find out. Whoever did this will be punished.'
'Excuse me Raphael,' Magnus said, 'but didn't you say last night that, "it was meant to happen. Once someone drinks my blood, their future has been made, they must become a vampire."' How did he remember that? But he had a point.
'Yes I did say that but I did not do it.'
'How do we know you're not lying?' I asked.
'Because you should trust me, just because I'm a Downworlder it doesn't mean I lie.' All Downworlder's lie.
'Once you show proof that you didn't do it, then we cant trust you.' He just glared at me, I hate when people do that.
'Fine!' He grabbed Dad by the arm and left. I turned to Magnus and said, 'I don't really want to go for our walk anymore. I just want to go home.'
'I do too, my sweet.'
The walk back to the Institute was quiet. I walked up the steps to the front doors, but Magnus stayed on the path, 'What's wrong?' I asked quietly.
'It just seems every time we walk into this place something always goes wrong.' It was true. 'Do you want to go to mine instead?'
'Yes.' I ran down the steps and dragged Magnus to his car. 'Let's go.'
'Geez Magnus, take your time to open the door.' I teased.
'Well sor-ry.' He laughed. He opened the door and was greeted by his cat, Chairman Meow. 'Hey kitty. Alec come this way.' He lead me to the black leather couch, he sat down and pulled me onto his lap. I gasped, I heard him chuckle, 'you're so cute. I love you.' I hugged him tightly.
'I love you too Magnus.' I could hear the familiar ring tone of my mobile. I really need to change my ring tone, Can't touch this. I looked at the caller ID, Jace. Magnus took my phone and answered it.
'Hello, this is Magnus, Alec cannot answer the phone right now as he is-' I could hear Jace's voice cutting off Magnus.
'It's Clary! Get here now! Both of you!' The phone call finished. I sighed, Yay. Another problem! Fun. Magnus must of read my mind because he said, 'we better go. Looks like we're not aloud to have a day without any problems.'
