Hi friends! Thank you so much for reading this story. Thanks to all who have followed and favourited this fic. On with the next chapter. Sorry for mistakes.

Enjoy :-)))

Jace knocked at the door for twentieth time "Alec! Wake up! We're getting late for training. Alec!" he banged some more. Jace's brows knitted in confusion. Why wasn't Alec answering. Usually he was the one who woke him up for early morning trainings. Was something wrong? Was he ill? But he didn't feel anything in his bond so Alec had to be alright

"Alec I'm coming in" Jace turned the knob but found the door locked. He gave a hard push with his shoulder and the door opened. Jace saw the lump on the bed and took a breath of relief. Alec was sleeping with covers up to his chin "Thank the Angel. You've just overslept" he then walked towards the bed and nudged his sleeping brother by his shoulder "Alec?"

Jace was on high alert when he felt the amount of heat rising from his brother. He placed his hand on Alec's forehead "Dammit!" Pulling out his cell Jace immediately called Izzy "Something is wrong with Alec. Come to his room now"

After two minutes Izzy rushed into Alec's room "What happened?" she ran towards the bed and gasped when she touched Alec's cheeks "Jace he's burning up"

Jace nodded "I've already called the healers. I think it's the cut in his arm that's causing the fever. Maybe it's the infected. Look at his arm Iz" Izzy's eyes fell on the wound. It was red swollen and black thick veins were slowly spreading towards his upper arm "By the Angel. Jace do you think it might be...poisoned"l

Jace's eyes widened "You mean...the witch we fought yesterday?" Izzy nodded "I really hope not but I'm calling Mom and Dad. Let's see what the healers have to say"

Next came the healers followed by Robert and Maryse. The worried parents stood few feet away as they worked on the young shadowhunter. Half hour later Jace saw the healers weren't having any success in either healing the wound or bringing down Alec's fever. His hand went to his parabatai rune where he was starting to feel dull pain. A pain that tells you something was wrong.

Head of the healer came forward to speak with Robert "I'm sorry. We tried everything but we couldn't heal his wound. It's laced with poison. His fever is rising and the poison is spreading towards his heart. I'm afraid we are out of options"

"What!?" yelled Maryse "How can you say that! You're paid to heal! Fix Alec immediately" she kept raising her voice while Izzy and Jace were beside Alec in seconds "It's our fault. Why didn't we think the cut might be poisoned" tears formed in Izzy's eyes

"Alec should've let the warlock heal him" Jace said absentmindedly and clutched at his side. Izzy's eyes widened "Magnus!" she got up from the bed and ran towards her parents "Mom! We need to call Magnus Bane. I'm sure he'll be able to heal Alec"

Maryse shared a look with Robert who nodded in response. Right now he seemed to be their only hope "Call Magnus Bane immediately" he asked one of the young shadowhunter to go but Izzy stopped him "I'll go bring him" Jace wanted to come but Izzy told him to stay with Alec.

MAGNUS'S LOFT

Magnus sat on the couch with a glass of martini in hand. His mind in deep thoughts of hazel green eyed boy. There was something about Alec that made him different from others. When usually people would beg for his help, Alec refused his offer. That proved his unselfish nature. He could tell the boy was pure at heart too. Magnus wondered if Alec was even interested in men. He laughed at his own thought. What was he thinking? How can a shadowhunter like or fall in love with a warlock? That was just impossible "Well Alexander. It was nice to see a fresh face after centuries. I wish you happiness in your life"

The front door banged loudly and Magnus made a face "Who dares to disturb the High Warlock of Brooklyn"

"Magnus! It's me Isabelle Lightwood. We met yesterday" Izzy raised her frantic voice "Please open the door. We need your help"

Magnus rolled his eyes and clicked his fingers and saw the door get opened "I thought I healed everyone yesterday" Izzy wiped her tears "It's my brother Alec"

"What about him? asked Magnus in concern

"Jace found him burning with fever this morning and the cut in his arm is poisoned. Our healers have gave up" Izzy's eyes filled with new bout of tears

Magnus quickly got up from the couch "The cut in Alexander's arm is poisonous?" Izzy nodded "Please help him Magnus...we're losing him"

Magnus didn't know what made him agree to Izzy's request. Normally whatever the situation, he never worked before discussing about the payment but right now he just couldn't think of money. All he could picture was Alec in pain "Let's go"

BACK AT INSTITUTE

Jace held Alec's hand in his and prayed to all angels above to return his brother to him. The pain in his side was getting stronger and he knew Alec was slowly slipping away from them "Hang on buddy...please hang on" he cried out

Maryse paced impatiently while Robert stood near Alec's bed. Their eyes were fixed on the door waiting for Izzy to bring Magnus and heal Alec. After another agonizingly slow five minutes went by, finally the door opened and in came Izzy with Magnus following her close behind

Magnus's heart ached when he saw Alec so pale and still on the bed. His face was flushed with fever and his right arm was swollen red with ugly black veins almost covering his whole hand "Oh Lilith" he turned around to face Robert "Everybody out! I need room to work"

Robert nodded and asked all the healers to leave the room. Magnus rolled his eyes "I meant everybody" he saw the two elder Lightwood leave but Jace and Izzy were still standing. Seeing the desperate look on their faces Magnus didn't have a heart to ask them to leave "Atleast stay away from Alexander. I really need room to work"

Jace squeezed Alec's hand and got up from his side and stood near Izzy. Magnus then rolled his sleeves and immediately got to work. His blue magic sparks poured on the boy who's back arched. Alec's face scrunched in discomfort, fingers fisted on the sheets. Magnus had to use great deal of his strength inorder to make his magic work. It took few minutes before the wound was healed. The warkock panted and held the edge of the bed for support when he felt drained of his energy.

Jace looked at Izzy with a smile on his face "He's okay" he touched the rune feeling releaved. Within seconds both the siblings were on Alec's side "Thank you Magnus! Thank you for saving his life"

Magnus didn't answer them. He just stared at the still sleeping form of the boy. What no one knew was that the warlock had deduct something while he was healing the shadowhuter. Could it be true what he was guessing in his mind? This kind of spell hasn't been used in centuries but he also couldn't be wrong. His expertise in magic told him Alec was under a spell. A very strong spell

"He's fever has gone down. When will he wake up Magnus?" Izzy asked as she rubbed a cloth on Alec's face. Magnus blinked twice. He hesitated for a second before he took a deep breath and spoke "Actually there's a problem"

Jace frowned "What problem? You healed him right? I can feel Alec is fine through our parabatai bond" That was news to Magnus. He didn't know before that Jace was Alec's parabatai "Alexander is...physically fine but.."

"But what? Magnus you're scaring us. What is it?"

Magnus glanced down again at the sleeping shadowhunter "I think Alexander is being put under a sleeping spell"

"A WHAT!?" Maryse voice echoed in all but silent room
