I own nothing. Hate Magnus? Good. The point of this is to show what they both changed so much and not for the better. They need each other
Chapter 9
Magnus opened the door to Alec's office woth causion. It opened with a creeck and Magnus walked slowly in. Alec was sitting behind his desk, staring at the photo in the golden frame. He held it in his scarred hands.
"You wanted to see me?" Magnus asked. Alec didn't move, didn't even acknowledge Magnus was there. Magnus closed the door slowly so it wouldn't make any noise and stood before the desk, waiting for an answer.
Magnus didn't know how long they just stood there in silence but eventually Alec spoke. "Why are you here?"
He didn't look up from the image and didn't move an inch. Magnus didn't quite know how to respond. He couldn't tell him the real reason. He couldn't.
"W...We were on a walk." He stuttered. What?! Magnus Bane didn't stutter! What was going on?
Alec still didn't move. "I can tell when you're lying." His voice was monotone and harsh. Magnus couldn't answer. He couldn't find the right words that would make it sound like he was innocent.
"You know why." He eventually said.
"Say it." Alec spat. "I need to hear you say it."
Magnus gulped in fear. "Why?"
Alec slammed the picture down on the desk so hard that the glass broke. "Why?" He hissed, looking up at Magnus. His eyes were the shallow silver. "Becasue I need you to confirm that you're a backstabbing lier! Just thinking...just dreading isn't enough. I am driving myself crazy and I need you to tell me!" He slammed his fist on the desk and it shook slightly.
Magnus let out a shaky breath. "Information." He whispered. "Information so we could defeat you."
Alec seemed to be frozen, staring at the Warlock in disgust. "We?" He gasped. "We?" He had gone scary-calm.
Magnus backed up a bit as Alec stood up. The Solitas picked up the photo and walked around the desk. "Never." He whispered.
Magnus frowned, confused. "I never thought we would be on opposite sides. But look now." He was staring at the picture, jaw clenched. "They're gone." His voice broke. "I watched them die. One by one. There was nothing I could do." His eyes slowly formed into the sea blue and for the first time, Magnus saw his Alexander.
"And you were gone." He carried on. "No one knew where you were. I was alone. Scared. The mixture of Angel and Warlock blood has made me more powerful than anyone I have ever crossed. It's the worst. I started this family so I wouldn't be alone. Unfortunately, that drew attention so then people started coming to kill us, kill them. I couldn't have that. I couldn't be alone again."
Alec finally looked up at him and the pain in his eyes was unbearable. "I knew you were out there. Somewhere. I knew I would find you again. I just didn't think it would be like this. It never crossed my mind that you would be one of them, coming to kill me. You and Camille."
Magus opened his mouth to say something but stopped when Alec scoffed. He was smiling slightly and Magnus found it quite scary.
"By the way, did I congratulate you two?" He laughed harshly and set the picture down. "I mean, I expected you to move on but Camille? How long did it take you to go crawling back to her, five minutes?"
The sheild was back up and Alec was once again, the Solitas. "I should have known. I should have! It was so obvious, clear as day! I was nothing to you, wasn't I? Just a little play thing!"
He laughed again and sat at the edge of his desk. Magnus sas frozen. "Well?" He yelled.
"You were important to me, Alec." He whispered. "I loved you. But I had my reasons."
"Give me one." Alec sneared.
Magnus couldn't. All his reasonings sounded irratonal now. The things that had made sense only minutes ago now sounded so stupid, he couldn't believe he had done them.
"You can't, can you?" Alec snapped. "Well, isn't that disappointing."
"Why are you keeping me here?" Magnus said involuntarily. Damn. He thought. You idiot.
Shock flashed across Alec's face. "Exuse me?"
"You heard me." Oh well, too late to back down now.
"I am keeping you here so you don't go blabbing." Alec snarled, arms crossed.
"You could easilly just kill me." Magnus said. "But you can't, can you? Isn't that disappointing."
Alec's eyes flashed with anger. "I could kill you if I wanted."
"But you don't."
"Oh, believe me." Alec hissed. "I do. I just don't believe killing is right in any situation ecxept defence."
"You're not doing it because you can't." Why was he doing this?! Stop, Magnus you idiot, stop!
"I'm not going to kill you, Magnus." Alec snarled.
Magnus raised his hand. Don't do it. Don't do it. Blue sparks eminnated from his finger tips. "Defence, you say?"
Magnus instantly saw a flash of red and was thrown against the wall. He fell to the floor with a thud. Alec towered over him.
"How dare you?" He yelled. "You are my servant, nothing else!"
"And you're just pathetic." Magnus groaned under his breath. Now you've done it, you idiot. Hope you're happy with yourself.
"Sophie!" Alec bellowed. The warlock with pink skin appeared out of nowhere. "Take him back to his cell."
Sophie nodded and grabbed Magnus. "What are you going to do with me?" Magnus hissed, his bones aching.
Alec smiled the scary smile. "Well, Bane. I am going to do what ,apparently, I can't. And your precious girlfriend will share the same fate."
What have I done? Please review. Xx
