Hi friends! Back with next chapter! Thank you so much for reading this story. Sorry for mistakes.
Enjoy :-)))
"I can't seem to get out of here" said Magnus
"What do you mean you can't get out? Magnus please do something!" Alec pleaded with wide eyes. He wanted to go back to real world and be with Magnus. He couldn't let his life slip away when he was so close to his happiness
Magnus tried again but his efforts were in vain "What the hell is wrong with me? he smacked himself. Alec's eyes widened and he rushed towards him "Magnus! Please don't hurt yourself"
"I can't...Alexander what are we going to do?" Magnus's voice became heavy as tears surfaced in his eyes "I can't loose you"
Alec bit his own quivering lips "I don't want to loose you too. I want spend more time with you" he gently cupped Magnus's face "I..I love you Magnus"
Magnus cried and pulled Alec close "I love you too Alexander. I'm sorry...I failed..I'm so sorry"
"Sshh..don't apologise Magnus. It's not your fault. I know you tried everything in your power" Alec sniffed and then laughed lightly "I was waiting for your kiss"
Magnus's eyes went wide "The kiss!"
"What?"
"What if I kiss you here and you might wake up in real world" Magnus suggested and Alec took a step back in shy "Will it work?"
Magnus shrugged "Why not we find out. This way we get to have our first kiss and if it works you will wake up. It's a win win situation"
Alec couldn't help but blush at Magnus's words. He inwardly hoped his suggestion would work "Yea...Yeah okay. I guess we can try...ah...um..the ki..kiss" Magnus smiled and pulled Alec flush against him "You look so adorable when you blush"
Alec blushed even more "I've never...I mean...sorry if it doesn't come out right" Magnus hummed "In that case let me do the hard work and follow when you feel comfortable"
Alec barely gave a nod when Magnus leaned in and pressed his lips on him. He moved one hand up to cup Alec's neck, fingers twisting in the soft black hair as he deepened the kiss. Alec made a small noise in the back of his throat and felt Magnus smiling into the kiss. Magnus's lips were firm on his driving him crazy with need. He pulled the warlock by his waist not leaving any space for even air to pass. Their noses bumped and they pulled back with a small laugh.
Magnus closes his eyes breathing heavily. He was hoping to open his eyes and find himself and Alec to be in real world but then he heard Alec's low voice "Magnus"
Magnus opened his eyes and found himself on the lake with Alec looking at him with sad eyes "It didn't work" said the shadowhuter which crushed Magnus's heart "Alexander..."
"No it's okay" Alec turned himself around so Magnus wouldn't see tears in his eyes "I'm more than happy. Atleast... atleast I got to know you are the one I love. It's absolutely fine" he lied wiping his tears
Magnus pursed his lips. This was absolutely NOT fine. Alec was going to die. How can things be fine. How will he live without him. He failed him. This was his fault he couldn't wake Alec. All his fault. Magnus curled his fingers so hard that it drew blood. He looked at his side at the calm water and...
Something struck Magnus
The warlock pulled Alec by his arm "Alexander! Push me into the water"
Alec's face turned into mix expression of shock and confusion "What? Push you? Why?" Magnus pointed at the lake "If you push me I'll wake up in real world. It will be like a bad dream...a nightmare for me"
Alec shook his head "Magnus what are you talking about?"
"What do you do when you have a nightmare?"
"I wake up"
"Exactly! Water is my greatest fear...if you push me I'll definitely wake up" Magnus gulped down and Alec could clearly see fear in his eyes "Magnus why are you scared of water?"
Magnus swallowed thickly "My father...he..he tried to drown me when I was a little kid" he hung his head down. Alec couldn't believe what he just heard. How can a father try to kill his own son "Magnus..."
"It's okay. I'm fine now. It happened long time back" Magnus laughed bitterly "It's irony how this water...lake is my favourite spot. Maybe because it always reminds me how I survived"
Alec felt his heart ache for the man. Magnus didn't deserve this pain. He wished he could go back in time and change all the bad things that happened to his love. Alec stepped forward and took Magnus in his arms. He hugged him tightly giving all the comfort "I'm so sorry"
Magnus sniffed and pulled back "I'm good. Now please let's do this" Alec eyed the water and shook his head "No"
"Excuse me?"
"I can't do this. Magnus please don't ask me to do this. I cannot hurt you. No" Alec pleaded
"You won't hurt me Alexander. It's not even real. Remember we're in our dream" Magnus tried to convince
"But you'll still feel it! What if you...you drown and then don't wake up" Alec said fearfully
"I'll wake up"
"You don't know for sure!"
"We've to take that risk"
"You'll be in pain" Alec said with trembling voice
Magnus cupped Alec's face "I'll take this pain for you and many more. I don't want to loose you. You've to wake up. I'll wake you"
"Why should I push you? Can't you jump?"
"It won't have the same effect. There is a difference between consent and force"
"What if I punch you? Maybe that will wake you"
"Punching doesn't create shock in the body or mind, it only hurts"
"Why not we give a try?"
"Why do you want to punch me so badly?" Magnus joked trying to ease up some tension
"Magnus please no.." tears again rolled from Alec's eyes and Magnus sighed. He brushed it off with his thumb and smiled encouragingly "Do it Alexander...for me..for us" Alec reluctantly gave a small nod "I'll do it"
Magnus and Alec walked hand in hand near the edge of the lake. The shadowhunter could feel Magnus shaking beside him. He gave a light squeeze and took a deep breath "Please be careful"
Magnus nodded "Push me Alexander" he steeled himself and Alec walked behind his back. With trembling hands he gave a hard push on Magnus's back who splashed into the water
The moment Magnus was pushed into the water fear clouded his mind. The cold water piercing his skin like pins and needles. He made a mistake to inhale and felt the water invade his lungs. His chest burned and limps thrashed in the water. No matter how hard he tried to convince it was a dream, Magnus felt his father's large hand on his head that was trying to push me down
Magnus couldn't breathe. The water stung at his nose blocking his way to breathe and survive. He tried to push his legs up but felt as if someone had grabbed them from below. Everything was burning inside him and Magnus was starting to panic. What if he won't wake up? What if he gets stuck in this horrified dream forever?
Fear gripped him with all sides and Magnus blew a bubble from his mouth. He closed his eyes picturing Alec's face for one last time.
I promise this is the last cliffy to this fic. Yay! Get ready for final chapter guys and please leave a review :-)))
