As Alec and Magnus completed their search around the institute the truth lingered at the back of their throats but neither of them could let it past their lips. Alec lowered his head and forced himself to hold back the tears. Magnus looked towards Alec, he placed his arm around his shoulder as they walked down the corridor together.
Eventually they found Maryce and Joclyn. As they all sat down Alec dubbed over in pain. His mother rushed to his side "Alec what's wrong?" She asked. "It's my Parabatie bond" he answered "I think there's something wrong with Jace. We need to find him." Pain rushed to Alec's head as he tried to stand. The pain felt like needles piercing his brain. He felt hands pulling him up on to his feet. after a few moments Alec regained his balance. "Let's go." he said. "we can use a tracking spell to find Jace."
After a few attempts they managed to pinpoint Jace's location. "Why would he be up their" Maryce asked "Nobody ever goes into that part of the institute, it's been abandoned for years." Jocyln looked toward Maryce, "Exactly. An abandoned area of the institute could be the perfect place for a warlock to hide or make a portal." They all nodded in agreement and set off down the corridor. Once they reached the stair case which lead up to the abandoned area the three shadowhunters applied runes of health, strength, silence, and Angelic power.
Alec was the first to climb the staircase, followed by Maryce, Joclyn and Magnus. Once at the top Alec took out his witchlight. the sun had set so there were no light on this floor of the institute. It was a tunnel of darkness. One by one they check the rooms. Two stayed out in the corridor and two went inside.
"I don't understand, why would anybody want to come here, the cobwebs are clinging to my clothes. This top is a irreplaceable antique and these pants are made out of real leather. I'm not impressed." said magnus. Alec shot a glare towards his boyfriend before creeping inside the next room.
"Are you sure he's here Alec? There is only two rooms left." asked Maryce. Alec nodded and stepped towards the next door. Alec pushed against the handle but the door wouldn't open. "This door its locked. Why would it be locked?" he asked. Maryce shook her head. "It shouldnt be as far as I am aware. There's only one other door try that one." Joycln moved to the next door and slowly pushed the door open. Alec moved to her side and the two shadowhunters entered the room. Joclyn grasped Alec's arm. "Alec look".
As Alec turned around his eyes focused on the floor. There was a pile of dust and rubble. As he moved his gaze up the wall he started to see blood, hand and finger prints imprinted on the wall. He gazed sideways towards Joclyn. "Mum, Magnus you need to see this." as soon as Alec finished they joined his side.
Alec stepped forward and looked through the whole. "Jace!" he shouted. Alec jumped through the hole and rushed to his brothers side. He shook his brother but he didn't wake up. Alec drew out his steal and began to trace itrazes on Jace's arm. Magnus managed to break the charm which held the door shut. Maryce moved to her sons side. "Alec he has lost a lot of blood..." Her voice was very unstable. Alec's hands shook so much that alec kept dropping his steal. Joclyn took over. She said. "Magnus I don't know how we can move him without hurting him. Can you portal us to the infirmary?" With a slight nod of his head Magnus stepped aside and prepared the portal.
Within a few minutes Magnus had created a portal, Jace was still unconscious and his pulse was getting weaker and weaker. "Alec we need you!" Jocyln snapped. Alec fell back to reality after being consumed by his thoughts.
As he turned around he saw the tears streaming down his mother's face. Alec moved to her side. "Right, If we are going to move him we need to be careful. Mum you hold his head try to keep it still and steady. Joclyn hook your arms under his knees and I will hold his back up. We need to do this as quick as possible. Ready? " The each nodded and moved into their positions. With a nod from Magnus the three shadowhunters lifted Jace and slowly Carried him through the portal.
Once inside the infirmary, they set Jace down on bed and was examined by Magnus.. His temperature had risen dangerously high. Magnus quickly give the shadowhunters instructions.
"Maryce take his jacket off and get some kind of cold compress. Joclyn keep applying runes too him, his current ones are fading quickly his body needs more strength" Magnus finally turned to Alec. "Come sit next to Jace, you can channel your strength into Jace through your bond." Alec slowly moved forward and sat next to his brother. He took hold of Jace's hand and realised it was covered in blood. Alec then looked at himself, his hands and clothes were also coated in layers of Jace's blood. Once Maryce returned she rested a damp flannel on Jace's head. Most of his cuts where healing but he was still unconscious.
"It seems that Jace has got a slight fracture on the left side of his skull, we won't be able to assess the damage until he wakes. Although all his other injuries will heal only time will tell what damage he has. "Magnus looked around the room. "There's is nothing more we can do for him other than wait. Somebody should stay with him, we don't know what happened to him and he shouldn't be alone when he wakes up." Alec was still sat at Jace's bedside and his mum was knelt nearby. "I'll stay with Jace, go rest mum you too Joclyn" Maryce shook her head "No Alec you need rest. Go I won't leave him." Alec protested and eventually he won. The others left leaving Alec staring at his brothers still body.
Alec felt as if his head would explode. He kept blaming himself for everything. He desperately wished he hadn't let Jace go off on his own, he wished he could of been able to save him before he had gotten so injured and left fighting for his life.
And then there was Clary. With everything which happened with Jace he almost forgotten she had been kidnapped. He thought about way she looked at him. How she hugged him and jumped into his arms for comfort. How she thanked him for helping her. But now all Alec could think was that he let her down. He realised he had not only failed to protect Clary and Jace, he also couldn't protect his nephew or niece whom Clary was carrying.
Alec stared around the room, in attempt to fight back his emotions he started counting. He counted the number of runes carved into the walls, the number of towels and the number of corners he could see. Eventually his exhaustion took over and Alec drifted off to sleep sitting in a very uncomfortable chair refusing to move from his brothers side.
