Thank you to everyone who reviewed :) It really does mean a lot to me. It's nice to know that people like my writing and my story! And because I'm in a really good mood and it's friday I felt like putting up a new chapter :)

I know a lot of you want to know more of Alec's past and hopefully this will satisfy you lot for now.

Like the last chapter it will be in Alec's pov since I doubt I could really explain it from Magnus' view.

So...I hope you like this chapter...

Alec's six year old self seemed to float down the hallway, his footsteps light and graceful. The floorboards creaked under his weight and he ran his finger tips along the beige wall. The hallway was familiar to him, yet completely strange at the same time. He knew where he was going as he had walked these very halls for the majority of his life.

It was if it were hours until the hallway finally came to an end. A single white door stood in front of him and at the bottom there was a thin strip of light coming from the other side of the door. There was a sign on the door which read 'No Boys Allowed To Enter' which he always ignored.

He reached out to grab the handle and hesitated for a moment before slowly twisting the handle and pushing the door open. He dropped his hand back to the side as the door slowly opened. At first, he couldn't see anything as it was so bright inside the room but eventually the light faded.

On the other side of the door the room was a mess. Normally the room would be spotless apart from a few clothes here and there. Though it was the complete opposite. The bookshelf was laying on the ground, books and trinkets all over the floor by it. Clothes were strewn around the room haphazardly and scraps of paper dotted the floor. The desk chair was on it's side across the other side of the room. The mattress of the bed had been shoved to the floor and the covers stained with blood.

It was then when he spotted his younger sister in the hands of a monster. Her usually long straight hair was matted with blood and stuck up in clumps. Her eyes were wide though showed no signs of life. Her mouth hung open, frozen in a scream and blood dribbled down her chin. Her neck was torn open and she was drenched in blood.

She was dead.

His sister was dead.

Isabelle was murdered.

Alec was frozen in shock, his blue eyes wide and scared.

The monster slowly turned his head to look at Alec, his pitch black eyes staring at Alec. It curled up it's upper lip, revealing rows of razor sharp teeth, each dripping with blood.

His sisters blood.

The monster flung his sisters limp body across the room where it landed with a thud on the floor. The monster then made a move towards Alec but he was too scared to run. He couldn't make his body move, it was frozen in place. His mind was screaming at him to run but his body didn't listen.

The monster reached out to him, it's long talons stretching for him and wrapping round his throat.

Alec screamed and shot up, snapping out of his dream. His chest heaved and as he sucked in a breath and tried to calm himself down. He was covered in a thin layer of sweat and his hair stuck to his forehead. His eyes were wide and alert and they darted around the room. He didn't know where he was for a moment before it all came back to him.

He ran a hand through his hair and squeezed his eyes shut.

"It was just a dream," he whispered to himself.

But it wasn't just a dream. It was a memory. One he dream about nearly every night. It was the same dream over and over, though sometimes something would change. Sometimes, the monster looked different. Sometimes it looked human, other time it looked like a mutated creature. Sometimes in the dream, when he opened the door and saw his sister she was still alive and would just stare at him or cry out, screaming at him to help her.

The memory he kept dreaming about was the night he was taken from his home and forced to be a slave. It was the night that changed his life. Well...Ruined it is a better way to put it.

At times he wished it was him that had died in his sisters place but then who knew what would have happened to her? What if she was taken by the demon and forced to become a slave for them. He wouldn't have wanted that for her but he never wanted her to die either.

Alec brought his knees to his chest, wrapping his arms around them and hugging them to him. He rested his chin on his knees and closed his eyes, taking deep breaths to help calm himself down.

It didn't matter though. He couldn't change what happened that night, no matter how much he may want to. It would never change. His sister was dead and there's nothing he can do about it.

He felt tears well up in his eyes and he angrily blinked them back. He was not going to cry. He wasn't. He wouldn't let himself. If he cried it would only be proving that he was weak and he promised his sister he would always try and be strong...For her.

In all honesty he couldn't remember much about her, they were still so young when the night happened but what he could remember about her he knew that she was a strong, confident and kind girl. It was a shame her life was taken so soon. She barely even got the chance to live.

Alec was snapped out of his thoughts as the door to the room opened and Magnus stepped over the threshold. He looked at Alec with curiosity in his gaze.

"I heard you scream," he said.

Alec looked away from him and didn't answer. There wasn't anything he could really say to him. Magnus wouldn't understand anyway. He was a heartless demon...Well...Maybe not heartless after what he did for Alec. At the thought his cheeks heated up and he buried his face in between his knees.

"Why did you scream?" Magnus asked, his tone annoyed that Alec had not answered him.

Alec mumbled a reply which seemed to make Magnus even more annoyed. He walked over to Alec and grabbed a handful of his hair, yanking his head up to make him look at him.

"What?"

"..I...I had a n-nightmare," Alec stuttered and looked down.

"A nightmare?"

Alec nodded a little, wincing as Magnus still had a handful of his hair.

"About?"

Alec bit his lip, not sure how to answer. He didn't want to tell Magnus, he didn't trust him.

"Monsters," he replied, his voice barely a whisper.

"You weren't having a nightmare about me were you?" Magnus asked, trying to lighten the mood.

Alec had to hold back a small chuckle, despite how sad he felt.

"No...Not you," he murmured.

"Good," Magnus said and let go of his hair. Alec reached up to rub the back of his head, his eyes lowered as usual.

Alec wanted to ask Magnus something but he wasn't sure if he was allowed, or if he was even allowed to ask him if he could ask him a question. He decided to ask him anyway.

"Can I ask you something?"

Magnus raised an eyebrow at him. "What is is?"

Alec hesitated for a moment. "What are you treating me like this? I'm a slave...Usually masters don't let their slaves bath or...Or let them sleep in a comfy bed or even-" he stopped himself, not wanting to go on.

Magnus studied him before sitting down on the edge of the bed.

"You remind me of a past lover is all," Magnus said truthfully.

"Oh...I do?" Alec asked, surprised by his answer.

Magnus nodded his head. "Yes. He had the same combination as you. Black hair and blue eyes. Though he was much more of an ass then you. And he was a demon, not a slave," he told him.

"W-what happened?" Alec asked carefully, not sure if he was treading on dangerous ground.

Magnus didn't answer him right away.

"He didn't want me."

Alec stared at him in disbelief. How could anyone not want Magnus? Magnus was gorgeous and sexy and confident – though most demons are pretty confident anyway, being a demon and all. Alec just didn't understand why this past lover of Magnus' wouldn't want him.

"Oh...Um...Sorry," he said, twiddling his thumbs.

Magnus snorted. "What are you sorry for?"

Alec shrugged. "You know...That he didn't want you..."

Magnus stared at him before chuckling. "Ah, I don't think I will ever understand you humans," he said smirking. "You're all so complicated."

Alec frowned. "Well, in our defence we happen to find you demons complicated," he defended.

Magnus stared at him and Alec was suddenly aware that maybe he shouldn't have said that.

"Hmm...I suppose," he said with a shrug. "I doubt I'll ever know."

Alec nodded a little.

"That reminds me, when was the last time you ate?"

Alec blinked. "How did talking about people remind you of food?" he asked.

Magnus just gave him a look when Alec got it.

"Oh..."

"So...? When did you last eat?" Magnus asked again.

Alec shrugged and placed a hand over his stomach. "I...Don't remember. Not for a while," he said with a shrug. It was natural for a slave to hardly ever get fed and he didn't expect to get fed much around here. Though judging by the way Magnus had been treating him so far he may even have a meal once a day instead of four times a week.

"Then lets get something to eat," Magnus said happily, grabbing Alec's wrist and dragging him off the bed and out the room.

Done! I know it's not that long but I did get what I wanted to get in there and I'm sorry if there are any mistakes. You now know a little something about Alec's past and why Magnus treats him differently! :D YAY! Be happy!

I can kinda already tell most of you are going to hate me for killing Isabelle...But please still review! And if you do, I'll let you know a little secret which will happen in later chapters ;)

Also, I bet a lot of you can already guess who Magnus' past lover is...Hehe...

I also just wanted to say that if you have any cool ideas for what you'd like to see in future chapters, or what you think they should talk about, or if you want a lemon feel free to say in a review and it might just happen ;)

PLEASE review!

Until next time

Forever Waiting For Love
