So from the 30th to now I have not been getting reviews on any of my stories. I heard that the website is eating reviews so that I can't see them. If you have reviewed on any of my stories after December 30th 2015, then I haven't been able to see it :(
Review Answers:
San: You say all that trouble for just three eggs but three eggs back then was like twelve eggs now. I'll assume that's the case anyway lol.
Darkparadise994: I love when Magnus calls Alexander little raven as well. It gives me the warm fuzzys.
This chapter is super short but the next one is decently long. I hope to hear what you all think of this chapter. I hope I'll be able to read all the reviews I'm losing soon.
Alec Pov- I sat on a pile of hay watching Magnus work, racking my brain at what could be so strange about him. I noticed that Tessa looked straight at him when she was talking about the church being our enemy. I watched Magnus out of the corner of my eye at that time seeing that he was looking at Tessa just as seriously and he even nodded as if to say he believed her. I wouldn't be surprised if the church really was up to something sinister when it came to these witch burnings. but at the same time if I even think of questioning it I would be stoned to death or worse... burned.
I wonder what death is the worst? Being crushed by heavy stones or being burned alive. Both are very slow so maybe it would be better just to be hung. It's fast and painless... I think.
I got pulled out of my thoughts when Magnus flicked me on the forehead. "Hey earth to Alexander, are you home in there?" I looked at him and let all the thoughts of death fade out of my mind "sorry I got lost in thought... Why don't the roosters chase you" I asked trying to change the subject away from my thoughts. He smiled "I just have skills."
I rolled my eyes "Oh yes Magnus Bane has so many skills." He smirked and leaned in close to my ear whispering "I can show you how skilled I can be." I blushed dark red and got up walking passed him. "W-what? T-hats... We couldn't possibly... I- I mean we aren't even married."
He raised his eye brow slightly "You're one of those?" I blinked and looked at him "What is that supposed to mean?" He grabbed a pitch fork "Well you are one of those people who believes that you have to be married before making love. Seriously you won't go to hell for not waiting."
I rubbed my arm "Well... I know it's silly to you but it's not to me." I looked at him "I take it you slept with someone before?" He nodded "Girls yes but never a guy." I bit my lip and looked away playing with a strand of my hair "What if you sleep with a guy and you find out you really aren't interested? what would you do then?"
He thought about it and smiled "I don't think that would happen. besides you are way sexier than any girl." I felt my face get hotter "I-I-I..." I couldn't even talk anymore. He laughed and kissed me on top of the head. "See it's stuff like this that makes you sexy."
I looked up at him meeting his eyes and he smiled meeting mine getting closer to me. I finally smiled and got closer to him too wanting to kiss him so badly. We both leaned in to kiss but stopped when Luke walked into the barn "What are you two doing?" Thank goodness Magnus's back was turned to him so he couldn't see what we were about to do.
I could hear Magnus exhale irritably before turning around and smiled "Alexander had a piece of hay stuck on his eyelash." I blinked and looked at him before looking at Luke "yeah... It was hard for me to get so Magnus got it for me." He nodded and looked at Magnus "Dinner will be done soon; you may go home now Alexander if you want." I nodded and smiled "Thanks again for allowing me to work here Luke."
I looked at Magnus "I'll see you later okay... Maybe if you're lucky we will talk more about what we were discussing." He looked slightly shocked but nodded "Have a nice night." I nodded and left to go find Jace.
When I got to Jace's house Jace was sitting on a bench in his front yard looking at something small in his hand. I walked up and blinked seeing he was holding his family ring. "What are you doing with that?" he looked at me and stood up "I'm going to propose to Clary tonight."
I gasped shocked not expecting him to take such a huge leap. "Jonathan Christopher Herondale what has gotten into you?" He sighed "Don't call me by my full name you know I hate it. Makes me sound like 'him'."
I nodded "Sorry... so you're really going to do this?" It's not unusual for children to get married at such a young age in this town, Clary and Jace have been doing good together so maybe it's not so bad. He nodded and smiled standing up "I'm going to go meet her right now, I just hope she accepts." I smiled and hugged him "She will I have no doubt about it."
It won't be easy that's for sure. Father Valentine will be fine with the engagement but Jonathan will be furious if she were to accept. He hugged me back smiling before letting me go "Wish me luck." I smiled and nodded watching him walk down the dirt road; not knowing it would be the last time I ever seen him again.
Jace Pov- The closer I got to Clary's house the more excited and anxious I got about the whole engagement thing. I was so ready to make Clary my wife there was no one else in the world I loved more than her. "Hello Jace, we need to talk" a voice I did not want to hear said walking up behind me. I looked back at him and frowned seeing Jonathan walk up.
"Can it wait?" He stopped in front of me and looked at the ring in my hand "What do you intend to do with that?" I looked at the ring before looking back at him "Well... I intend on asking Clary to marry me." His already dark eyes turned even darker if possible "You will not do anything of the sort."
I frowned and glared at him "Jonathan you don't have a say in the matter. I love Clary and I want to spend the rest of my life with her." He laughed slightly before crossing his arms over his chest "Sorry to tell you Jace but your life is about to be cut short." I frowned and backed up slightly "What are you going to do; accuse me of witch craft?"
He shook his head no "My father has plans for you and today happens to be the day where they start." I frowned not sure what that meant and I gasped feeling something sharp go into my side. I didn't even notice that Jonathan was close enough to stab me but he was and he did. My site went blurry as he pulled the knife out and I fell to my knees before passing out.
