Alexander Pov- I laid in bed looking up at the ceiling of the guest bedroom. The room wasn't like my bed room at all. I had book shelves and a bed that was made with cotton inside. This place though didn't have any furniture other than the bed and this bed was stuffed with hay, not cotton.

The ceiling also had a hole in it making the room be streaming with moonlight. I guess this proves that Magnus grew up differently than I did. The moonlight coming into the room didn't bother me though; it was actually very soothing listening to the wind outside and hearing the rustle of leaves. Both my siblings were sleeping in my arms, max in my left arm and Isabelle on my right.

It's been a long time since we all slept together but I always enjoyed the times that we did. We have been drifting apart over the years and I am ashamed of the relationship I have with Max. Max loves Isabelle, he runs to her when he is scared and he always asks her for things. Jace is his hero; he gets excited every time Jace is around and when he gives Max his old toys he treasures them.

Now with me Max is different… he sees me as another dad instead of an older brother. I'm the one that follows the rules and does what our father says. I'm boring compared to Jace… I shook my head not wanting to think about that. Those thoughts made me resent Jace and I can't feel that way toward my best friend especially when I don't know if he's okay. I shook my head again and looked at my sleeping siblings before closing my eyes and slowly drifting to sleep.

~I walked into Salem alone and went directly to the grave yard in front of the church. I didn't really know why I went there, it wasn't like I knew any of the dead besides William and Simon. I stopped in front of the graves of the people I just mentioned and frowned seeing the different states they were in. William Herondale's tombstone was a beautiful pure white stone that had angel wings engraved into it right above his name. He hasn't been dead long yet flowers were growing all around his stone like it has been there for years.

I moved my gaze to Simon Lewis's tombstone and felt the warm feeling I got from Will's was completely gone. The stone was a charcoal color as if it was burned along with him and the words on the stone said 'burned for being a warlock, in hell you rest'. Simon wasn't a warlock though and if the world knew about Magnus they would have laughed at themselves for even thinking Simon was one. I looked at a stone that was next to Simons and frowned reading the same thing only the name on it was Tessa Gray.

"It's sad isn't it? looking ignorance in the face?" A familiar voice said from behind me. I turned around and breathed out a shaky breath seeing Jace standing behind me. "You're alive... I thought you were dead." He frowned and looked up at the sky "I'm not dead Alexander but I am also not alive... I have been cursed to heaven and earth."

I grabbed his arms making him look at me "What is that supposed to mean? You are standing right here in front of me perfectly fine." He shrugged me off and walked a few steps turning his back to me. I now noticed he wasn't wearing a shirt and he had wings painfully engraved into his back.

"Jace... what happened?" I walked up to him and gently put my hand on the marks but when I did Golden wings busted out of his back pushing me a few feet away. I looked at the wings in horror before looking at my friend "Jace..." He looked back at me passed his shoulder "For god to rise the angels' song, to hell, to hell a lover be gone."

His words sent shivers down my spine "I don't understand..." suddenly everything around me changed. The sky turned dark and flames rose from the ground and into the air surrounding me like a barrier. Smoked rose with the flames and seeped into my lungs making me start choking and suffocating. "Jace... Jace..." I looked around desperately for my friend but he was gone.

He was replaced by Five cloaked figures coming out of the fire; unaffected as the flames licked the bottom of their cloaks. "For god to rise the angels' song, to hell, to hell, a lover be gone. For god to rise the angels' song, to hell, to hell, a lover be gone." The figures kept repeating the words and the more I heard them the more my head hurt. This chant felt like poison in my soul and it was crushing me from the inside out.

People started to appear on the flames like a screen and when I saw who they were I felt my body go cold. "For god to rise the angels' song..." William, Jace, Max, and some girl with dark skin I never seen before appeared in the flames. "To hell, to hell, a lover be gone." The others vanished as these words were spoken and new people appeared. Tessa, Clary, Isabelle, some guy I never met and... Magnus."

For some reason seeing Magnus in the flames made me start hyperventilating. "No... What the hell..." A sharp pain spread throughout my back and I screamed to the top of my lungs falling to my knees and hugging myself. It hurts... God it hurts so bad. The people kept chanting and chanting none stop and the pain got stronger and stronger.

"Stop it... Stop it" I yelled moving my hands to cover my ears. Tears stung at my eyes along with ash from the flames and all I could think about was my family. The family I love so much more than anything else in the world. Then my mind shifted to Jace. My best friend who was nothing but trouble but he always pushed me to do new things and be a better person.

'I'm not dead but I'm not alive either' That is what he said and those marks on his back looked deadly. What was really going on? I forced myself to open my eyes and I looked up at the flames shaking meeting golden green eyes with my stinging blue ones. "Magnus..."

My mind was filled with thoughts of Magnus. Of the day I first met him, of the stupid nick name he gave me that made me happy every time I heard it, of the feeling of his lips on mine. "Magnus... save me..." The figure in the flames couldn't move or speak but he never took his eyes off of mine. "Magnus... I love you..." The second I said those words the pictures in the flames vanished and the chanting got louder.

I berried my face in the dirt clenching my teeth in pain feeling like my back was ripping and being torn apart from the inside out. "For god to rise the angels' song, to hell, to hell a lover be gone." One last chant pierced my ears and then all I could hear was my voice screaming as black wings busted out of my back. ~

"Alexander... Alexander wake up. You're having a nightmare wake up!" I opened my eyes quickly and gasped for the air desperately needing it. Blinking the tears out of my eyes I looked around the room beaming with sunlight and there sitting on the bed looking worried were my siblings and Magnus Bane.

"Alexander... Are you okay" Magnus asked reaching wiping the sweat off of my face. I caught my breath for a few more minutes before slowly sitting up "It was a dream..." I reached back and touched my back checking for wings and sighed with relief when there were none. Max climbed on to the bed and reached his hand up touching my cheek "Alexander you were screaming... I never seen you look so scared before. what's wrong?"

I shook my head and just pulled him close hugging him and stroking his hair gently. I normally didn't hold Max like this so it was no surprise when his body tensed up before he relaxed and held me back. I glanced up at Isabelle who was looking just as shocked as Max was. "breakfast is ready... you should eat" Magnus said watching me too.

I nodded and kissed the top of Max's head before sitting at the edge of the bed. "Yeah I am a little hungry." Isabelle grabbed Max's hand and walked out and Magnus didn't take his eyes away from me. "Are you okay" He asked softly.

I looked up at him and nodded before standing up. I must have still been shaken up because my knees were wobbly and then gave out making me fall. Magnus quickly wrapped his arms around my waist and held me tightly so my body was supported by his. "Alexander..." I hesitated before looking up at his worried golden eyes "I'm fine Magnus... just please don't let go yet." I laid my head on his chest and closed my eyes holding him tightly.

Magnus Pov- I held Alexander tightly like he asked and I pressed my lips into his black hair. What could he have possibly dreamed about that would cause him this much distressed? "Do you want to talk about it" I asked softly against his scalp; still having my mouth pressed to his head. He was quiet and still for a long moment before he slowly looked up at me meeting my eyes again.

His eyes were full of fear and sadness along with that hint of protection he always had. "Promise me you will never get caught." I frowned and caressed his cheek "What do you mean?" He leaned into the touch and closed his eyes.

"I understand that you are a warlock and I won't treat you any differently. Just promise me that you won't get caught or give Jonathan or Camille any reason to point you out... I don't want I lose anything. Not Jace, not my family, and not you." He looked up at me again "I don't want to lose any of you."

I nodded and leaned in so close that our lips were almost touching "I will never leave you Alexander." I could feel Alec's breath on my face; it was hot and no longer shook with fear. "Never" He asked softly. I answered him by closing the gap between our lips teasing his briefly with my own.

His lips moved slowly with mine at first but then they mashed against mine as the kiss continued. He wrapped his arms tighter around me kissing me deeper and I tightened my grip on him wanting to feel him as close as possible. I decided to push it a little by slipping my tongue into his mouth making him moan slightly. It was obvious that he wasn't used to kissing like this cause at first he didn't really do anything but I still kissed him, moving my tongue to explore every inch of his mouth.

I guided him through it mixing my tongue with his and finally he started reacting. our mouths became one, our tongues entwining and mixing; tasting each other. "Um... Alexander..." A small voice said from behind us. Alexander quickly broke the kiss and looked behind me and an eep noise came out of his mouth before shoving me off him so hard I tripped over the bed and fell on it. Max was standing at the door and had just watched us kiss.

"What were you doing" he asked confused. Alexandersmiled his big brother smile and put his hand on his little brothers back leading him out of the room "It was nothing Max don't think about it." I sighed watching my lover leave the room and I ran my hand through my face before standing up and going out to the living room to join everyone. Kana smiled looking at them "Good morning."

Alexander looked at her keeping quiet before leading max to a table where breakfast was waiting. Kana pouted watching him before looking at me "Dose he not like me because of what I said last night?" I shook my head "Don't worry about it mom Alexander is just shaken up. He had a nightmare that freaked him out a bit."

She frowned "A nightmare? what was it about?" I frowned and looked at Alexanderwho was forcing his siblings to eat breakfast. "I don't know."

I walked around town with Alexander who was holding a list of supplies Robert Lightwood gave to him to get here. The town was so familiar having grown up here and I knew where every shop, bakery, lake, and forest was. This was my home and maybe one day I can make it my and Alexander's home. I glanced at him trying to imagine a life with Alexander out of Salem.

Just him and I together in a small cottage by the woods. we would have normal walks like this and go shopping together every day and best of all no worry of witch burnings. "This town is nice" Alexander said as if he was reading my mind. I looked at him and nodded "Ever think of moving here?"

He frowned and shook his head no "I can't move here I have my family and friends to worry about." "They could move here with you" I said absentmindedly. He stopped walking and looked at me. "My father would never allow us to move here... do you want to come back here" he asked; a tang of worry in his voice.

I looked at him and smiled "Not without you." He closed his eyes "it's true that it would be safer for us here... but I just can't leave Salem." I frowned and grabbed his hand "I understand." He opened his eyes and looked at me before slowly pulling his hand away remembering we were in a public place.

"Thanks." I nodded and took the list from him and started helping him find things on it. "Hey Magnus" A familiar voice said from behind us. We turned around and a girl with caramel dark skin, and curly hair stood there with a tall boy with brown hair and Hazel eyes.

I smiled and fully faced her "Maia, Jordan it's been forever." She nodded and looked at Alexander losing her smile "What's the matter with him?" I looked back at Alexander and his face was as pale as a ghost. "You... you were in my dream."

I frowned looking at him "What?" He shook his head before looking at me "I need to go home... I need to go home right now." He walked passed me going in the direction we came from and I looked at Maia and Jordan apologetically before going after him. Alexander made it a good block before I caught up to him "Alexander."

He kept walking ignoring me and I glared before catching up and grabbed his arm "Alexander stop and talk to me." He looked back at me and pulled his arm out of my grasp "They were in the dream. They were in the flames, that girl was with Jace and Will and Max while the guy was with Tessa, Clary, Isabelle and... and you. If they were real, then there is a possibility that Jace is dead."

I frowned and grabbed his shoulders "Alexander you need to calm down. it was just a dream." He shrugged me off and started pacing "I'm serious Magnus. In my dream Jace was an angel and these cloaked people made everything around me catch on fire. They chanted over and over again 'for god to rise the angels' song, to hell, to hell, your lover be gone.'" I frowned slightly feeling like I heard that rhyme before. "Fine you win... let's go back."

A few hours later we made it back to Salem and Alexander put the horses away before looking at me "I have to find Jace." I frowned not wanting him to leave me yet "Can I go with you?" He frowned and looked at me "I would like you to go but I need to talk to Jace alone." I frowned and went to protest but I stopped when I heard the sound of drums.

Alexander frowned and made his way out of the horse stables looking down the road. people huddled down the road and I caught sight of Luke; he looked like he was going to be sick and his skin was as white as a ghost. "Luke" I called out running to him. He stopped and looked at me waiting for Alexander and I to catch up with him.

"Magnus; I thought you were in the next town." "We came back early... what's going on?" Luke frowned and looked at Alexander before looking down "Jace... He was found dead the night before." I glanced back at Alexander who looked like he wanted to throw up.

"Do they know who did it?" he frowned and looked away and that's all it took. Alexander ran passed me speeding off to the towns square where the burning was going to be held. I cursed under my breath and followed him not knowing what he would do once he found out who it was. Though I'm sure he already had a guess.

Alexander Pov- He lied, he fucking lied to me. 'Found his body the day before' before I even left? Father wanted me to go to get out of the way. He knew that I would try to fight this.

Once I got to the square I skidded to a stop seeing Clary tied to the cross. "No..." I fell to my knees not able to support my weight. Will, Jace... Tessa, Clary. They were the most popular couples in Salem and now they were like this.

"She deserves it... they both did" Jonathan said standing behind me. I looked up at him and frowned "You're a monster." He looked down at me and smirked slightly before getting to my level "You should watch what you save Alexander; you don't want the same thing to happen to you or your precious Magnus Bane." I glared at him "leave Magnus alone."

He laughed slightly and I grabbed him by the shirt "How could you? she was your sister!" He met my eyes and like always they were black and had no compassion. "How could I you ask? It's simple really I couldn't stand her or Jace."

I shook my head and looked down "Jace has gone through enough, his dad cheated on his mom and she tried to take her life. She ignores him and his father doesn't pay attention either. He had Clary because she helped him live his life. He was going to marry her and you just took that all away."

He rolled his eyes and looked at Clary "What right did they have to be happy anyway?" Magnus walked up and pulled Jonathan to his feet "Leave Alexander alone." Jonathan looked at him and laughed before pulling away from him. "This is none of your concern Bane" He said before walking away.

Magnus watched him before looking at me and reaching out his hand for mine "can you walk?" I nodded and grabbed his hand letting him help me up. "You shouldn't have done that Magnus... you could have made him mad." "I don't care" He said frowning.

I opened my mouth to argue but got cut off by Clary's voice yelling "Alexander!" I looked toward the poor red head tied to the cross, her father holding a torch inches away from her body while her mother whaled from the crowd. Once she noticed she had my attention she continued "The Truth lies in the church!" Magnus and I both flinched hearing her.

That was the same thing Tessa Gray said before she was burned. 'The truth lies in the church. For god to raise the angels' song, to hell to hell a lover be gone.' I moved my gaze from Clary and met the eyes of my father.

His eyes were on mine too and there was an apologetic sorrowfulness. He knew... He sent me away because he didn't want me to be here for my friends burning. There was something going on with the church and there was one thing I knew for sure... My father was somehow involved.

come on guys you know that Clary killed Jace. Jonathan is way too innocent and nice to do anything like that. Can you all sense my sarcasm?
