Hi friends! No matter how many times I tell you, it's NEVER going to be enough. But still...THANK YOU SO SO SO MUCH FOR READING THIS STORY. On with the next chapter. Sorry for mistakes.

Enjoy :-)))

Izzy brought two cups of coffee and handed one to Jace and another to Catarina. It had been more than an hour since Magnus had gone to meet Alec and everyone prayed all the misunderstanding was cleared. Izzy sat next to Alec and spoke to Jace, "Do you think they have talked yet?"

"I hope Izzy." Jace looked at the time "We still have time. I'm sure Magnus will be able to convince Alec." Izzy smiled fondly at his sleeping brother "Can you believe it? I mean Alec and Magnus. They two are from totally different worlds"

Jace scoffed "And from different centuries"

Catarina who was listening to their conversation spoke softly "Alec will never regret being with Magnus. You'll see he has made a right choice. My friend has a wonderful heart and he'll always keep Alec happy"

Jace looked at the warlock, "We do trust Magnus but our fear is related towards our mother. I'm afraid she won't stop until she separates them." Catarina shrugged "I don't see a problem here. Magnus is strong enough to handle your mother"

Suddenly loud footsteps were heard outside the door. Izzy tensed and shared a look with Jace who pulled his blade out. She hoped her fear was not taking face of reality. Catarina too was ready with her magic "Stay here. No one will be able to enter as long as the wards are up"

A loud crash was heard from the hall and they knew the front door had been forced down. Izzy got up from her place and told Catarina to cover Magnus and Alec while she and Jace would see who were the rude intruders. The two siblings locked the door from outside and Catarina used her own magic to put an extra seal so no one could enter and harm the sleeping pair

Jace and Izzy ran into the hall and saw a tall broad man walk in with an evil sadistic smile on his face led by dozens of other men with weapons inside Magnus's loft. Jace held his blade out "Stop! How did you come in with the wards up?"

The man grinned at Jace "What wards? This place was easy to enter...like I was walking in a garden." He motioned his men to surround the whole hall. Izzy now remembered that Magnus must have pulled the wards down when he came yesterday from his club. After that he forgot to place the wards back up. She cursed pulling her whip out "Who are you and what do you want?"

The man glared at first but changed his expression "I'm a long friend of Magnus. Consider this as my causal visit to him" Jace knew who was the man "You were the one last right who tried to destroy Magnus's club"

"Nice to meet you too shadowhunter." A wicked grin on his face

Jace frowned "You know about us?"

Rodericks waved his hand "A little birdie might have told me." He laughed mockingly "I was here to hurt Magnus Bane but...then I came to know he's found a boy toy to play with." Jace glared at the warlock who continued "I'm told Bane is ready to risk his life for this boy. Since I cannot kill Bane why not take away his precious boy"

"NO!" yelled Izzy "You'll not touch our brother!" Jace took a step forward. "You'll have to face us before you lay a finger on them"

Rodericks smiled cunningly, "Gladly"

For next half an hour Jace and Izzy fought with all their strength, slaying one men after another. They needed to keep anyone from getting into Magnus's room. Roderick saw both the siblings were busy fighting with demons and took this opportunity to his advantage. He carefully slid behind few demons and paddled towards Magnus's room

Roderick tried to use his magic on the door but frowned when he couldn't get it open. He knew someone had casted a strong seal spell so he swirled his hands and created a portal. When Catarina saw red flames in the room she understood someone was trying to enter in. She conjured her magic and stood protectively infront of Magnus and Alec

Roderick flared his powerful magic on Catarina as soon as he stepped out of the portal. The female warlock got slammed on the wall to her right and rolled on the floor unconscious. Rodericks didn't waste any more time and blasted his red magic on Alec's side. He saw the boy jerk in his sleep as the blood started staining the bedsheet "Let's see how will you save the boy"

ALEC'S DREAM

Magnus felt like the world froze around him when he saw Alec closed his eyes. He tried hard to wake him up but the shadowhuter remained unresponsive "What the hell is wrong with you? It's still morning and you've time midnight then..."

Magnus realised something and his eyes widened in fear. He knew something had happened in the real world. That was the only explanation. Someone was trying to take Alec away from him. But who? Maybe Maryse? But the wards...Dammit! He forgot to pull up the wards when he came back from thd club. Anyone could have entered into his house

Magnus steeled himself because he had leave Alec in this position and go back to real world. He bend down and placed a soft kiss on Alec's forehead "I'll save you Alexander. I won't let anything happen to you" he clapped three times and vanished into thin air.

REAL WORLD

Magnus jolted upright and the first thing he did was to look at his side. His heart dropped to his stomach when he saw the amount of blood seeping through Alec's side "Alexander!" He immediately started healing the wound but was suddenly hit by a force

Magnus was thrown off the bed and away from Alec. His blood boiled when he saw Rodericks standing few feet away with a grin on his face "Welcome Bane!"

Magnus got up to his feet and conjured up his blue magic, glamour dropping from his eyes in rage "How dare you! You'll pay for what you did to Alexander" Rodericks laughed out loud "You do have feelings for this boy. My mission is complete Bane. The boy will die tonight"

Magnus threw his magic and Rodericks moved to his side "I'm not going to let anything happen to him!" He then started throwing blue flames one after the other not giving his rival a chance to fight back. Catarina slowly came back around and saw Magnus fighting with the other warlock. She heard loud voices of Jace and Izzy who were banging on the door after they defeated all the demons in the hall. Jace felt an immense pain in his side and knew his parabatai was in trouble. Catarina flicked her hand and the door was free from her seal.

Jace and Izzy ran inside and saw Alec bleeding on the bed "Alec!" They ran towards the bed. Jace took out his jacket, balled up and applied pressure on Alec's side "Magnus! He's slipping!" He called out for help

On hearing Jace's desperate call, Magnus bubbled up one last powerful stroke and lashed it out at Roderick hitting him square at his chest. His opponent screamed in pain and fell down on the floor, closing his eyes.

Magnus then ran towards Alec and pushed Jace out of the way. He narrowed his eyes in concentration and started pushing his magic on the bleeding boy. Jace gasped when his parabatai rune was slowly fading. He swayed and Izzy quickly came beside and supported him "Jace!"

Jace's eyes watered "Magnus ..hurry up!"

Magnus pushed his magic even harder but it was not enough. The gash was very deep and blood was still flowing "Cat! I need you!" he yelled for his warlock friend who rushed to help. She stood beside Magnus and started pouring her healing magic on the boy. Alec didn't even twitch when the magic was doubled and it heightened the worries of Jace and Izzy "Please Alec.. fight...please come back!"

Magnus started seeing black spots infront of his eyes. He was feeling tired now. He had already used most of his magic to fight with Roderick and now he was using his last bit of strength to heal Alec. When Magnus thought he couldn't hold on anymore, he heard Izzy's voice "It's working! Bleeding is stopped" Magnus almost smiled in relief and with new strength that rushed into him, he continued healing Alec

What no one knew was Roderick was now conscious and slowly getting up from the floor. Since all of them were highly focused on Alec no one saw the evil warlock conjure up his red magic "I'm not going to let you win Bane!" He raised his hands and aimed his magic on Magnus's back

What can I say? One day the cliffy's might stop. Till then pluzzzzxssss leave a review. I looove reading them. They bring a huuuuuge smile on my face :-)))
