Authors note: I hope you liked my first chapter, here's the second one. I really enjoy writing it even though I'm supposed to be learning for a test ;P.
Please review, I want to know what you guys think of it. I apologize for bad grammar and/or spelling.
*Disclaimer* I do not own any of these characters :(
Enjoy!
"Alec!", Magnus called after his lover. "I've forgotten something very important at home!" "What? But Magnus, we're almost there!", His lover said turning his head to Magnus. "Can't you just use your magic to let it appear in your hand or something?" "No, I can't. I really have to go back and get it!" Magnus said. "Are you sure that you're not just worried about Max and want to check up on him?" Alec asked. "Maybe...", Magnus answered. The truth is that Magnus was going to propose tonight after the dinner at the restaurant. He will be taking Alec to the park where he will be making a huge magical gesture before he propose to his lover. He will be needing to spare every little bit of his Magic as his can. And he couldn't propose without a ring, could he? Plus he really wanted to check up on Max, you never know what teenagers are doing when they're alone. Maybe he's throwing his first secret party, Magnus wouldn't want to miss that, would he? He had to at least see what kind of party his son would throw when they're gone. Maybe even give him some tips. Then he can go out with Alec. "Please?", Magnus said in a sweet voice. "We will still be on time if we hurry." "Fine, if you really have to.", Alec sighed. But Magnus knew, that secretly Alec wanted to check up on their son as well. "Let's just hurry."
As the two of them stood before the apartment door, Magnus knew that there was no party going on. Something felt wrong, Alec seems to feel it too. The two of them rushed up the stairs. Magnus felt the magic before he was even at the apartment door. Quickly he unlocked the door and stepped inside their apartment. He froze at the sight of the demon standing in front of his son. As Alec came into the apartment, Magnus could feel that he stood frozen too. Max turned around and saw them. "Dad! Ayah!" Max called. Stupid boy, Magnus thought. What had he done? The demon seems to notice them too now. "Magnus! How nice to see you again.", the demon said with a cruel smile on his face. "And I see that you are still with that shadowhunter boy of yours." "What did you do Max?", Magnus asked his son with a stern voice. "I- I'm sorry I never meant for this to happen..." The boy said. Magnus could see his eyes tearing up. "What did you do?", Magnus repeated, losing his patience. "I was curious about my biological father, so I tried a blood-tied summoning spell. I'm so sorry, I never thought that my father would be a prince of hell. I'm so sorry", Max said. There were tears running down his navy blue cheeks, but Magnus couldn't see them. His head was spinning and his hart was racing. The words that his son just said were not making sense. A thousand thoughts were running though his mind. Blood-tied? Father? Magnus felt that he might faint. But a hand gripped him by the shoulder and steadied him. Apparently Alec had restored from the shock that was caused by the ruler of Edom, who was currently standing in their Livingroom.
Magnus snapped back to reality when his father spoke. "How I love this kind of drama!", his father said. "It's so boring in Edom after you guys left. However, I must say that you've impressed me by turning that boy into a shadowhunter so that he was out of my grasp." "Be gone you demon. Return to Edom and do not come back again. I won't ask twice." Alec said, before Magnus had the chance to say a word. Asmodeus turned to face Alec. "Pathetic little shadowhunter, what will you be able to do about it." After he said that he flung Alec across the room with just a movement of his hand. Alec hit the wall and passed out on the floor. "Alexander!" "Dad!" Max leaped to Alec but was stopped by Asmodeus in the middle of the action. "Where are you going, little boy?", Magnus' father said. their father, Magnus corrected himself. "Didn't you summoned me to some answers? Didn't you obligated me? How the tables have changed." Asmodeus said laughing. "Leave him alone." Magnus said. "He's just a kid who didn't understand the consequences of dealings with demons. But I do." "Aww, standing up for your LITTLE BOY? I'm touched Magnus. The kid sees you as his father, but what will he think if I tell him a little secret..." "ENOUGH!" Magnus said "We both know what you want, and I'm willing to give it to you if it means that you'll leave them alone." The demon smiled "Magnus. No…", Alec said in a weak voice. Alec had regained his consciousness and was trying to stand up, but he was still weak. He knees buckled and he fell on his hands and knees. "I'm sorry Alexander, But it's the only way", Magnus said. He turns towards Max. "Remember my little blueberry. Magic always come with a price." Still trapped in their father's spell, Max was struggling. The tears flowed down his cheeks. He'll never know the truth. I thought. My eyes stung but I forced myself not to cry, I will stay strong. He wanted them to remember him as a brave warlock who sacrificed himself for his family.
"Are you done yet?", his father said, looking bored. "I hate goodbyes. We all knew this day would come sooner or later. Ready to go Magnus?"He turned towards his family for one last time. "Just remember that I love you both very much.", I say. Alec was trying to get to him but he still couldn't walk. "Alexander you were the best thing that has happened to me. And Max, don't ever end up the way I am now." Magnus turned towards his father and said: "Let the boy go and I'll go with you." "Very well.", he said, and he released Max. MAx fell to the ground and had trouble standing up. "Let's go Magnu-"
Before Asmodeus could finish his sentence, the door was smashed and every shadowhunter from the New York institute rushed into the room, seraph blades ready. Asmodeus was caught by surprise and Magnus took the chance to bound the prince of hell, or at least try to. It took him a lot of effort to keep Asmodeus bounded. It was a good thing that Magnus had save all his magic for today.
"That took you guys long enough." Alec said as Clary drew a rune on him and helped him up. "We came as fast as we could after your text.", Jace said while keeping his eyes on the demon. "It was hard to understand you message; Help prind og hel im thw roon!" "I apologize, the next time that I have to type a text behind my back I'll double-check if it's understandable for my dear parabatai." Alec said sarcastically. "Apology accepted.", Jace said. "A little help here?" I said with my teeth clenched. "Right," Jace said, and they all started attacking the demon.
Magnus almost couldn't bare it anymore, but then Max stepped to his side and started to mutter a bounding spell too. With Max's help it was a bit easier, but still very exhausting. Every minute Magnus could feel Asmodeus weakening, until the shadowhunters finally were able to defeat him.
It must have taken an hour at least but it felt like years, Magnus was drained. He looked around and saw that everyone was wounded and exhausted. But his heart skipped a beat when he saw Max. His was pale and had trouble standing, he wanted to go to him but Max passed out before he could get to him. Magnus leaped to him, and used his last bit of magic to keep him alive. Magnus was relieved to hear him breathe, but his breaths were shallow and his magic was drained. At least he's alive. Magnus thought.
Max was the last thing he saw before everything went dark.
I hope you liked this chapter. I think that I'll be writing one or two chapters max. after this.
