About the review: "Is it okay if I scream now and deafen the living population of Earth? You might've heard that from where you are right now, if you're listening carefully." Dear Guest: I'm sorry! xD Well… Something Did wake me up in the middle of the night! xD
Warning: Some violence.
Note: Time to make it worth your wait! Today, I will post 4-5 chapters! (If nothing bad comes up xD) They will be a "set" but prepare to be confused! [Sorry in advance if some are small, I broke them into pieces] In the end I will explain myself if it isn't clear! Enjoy!
Maybe it's because you're the embodiment of Deathly Serenity that you are so dear to me, oh Darkness…
CHAPTER 15 - Please don't leave me (Alec POV)
Previously: His vision blurred, everything went black and he collapsed. The demon made a creepy sound in the back of its throat, that must have been a laugh, and charged.
………
Everything happened in seconds; the Nephilim didn't have time to recover from the dizziness, his blue eyes were wide open, but all he could see before him were dark spots. He thrust the Seraph blade in front of him blindly as the demon attacked but it clawed at his hand tossing it aside. Alec tried to roll away to avoid the next attack, and felt claws mercilessly sinking in his flesh again, his left leg this time, keeping him in place. He tried to squirm away and heard the sickening sound of breaking bone and a scream he dizzily registered through the blinding pain, as his'.
In a moment of weakness he almost pleaded for the Warlock to save him but then a cruel voice ringed in his head "Those who cannot save themselves do not deserve to live. If you wish to see tomorrow, get there yourself."
"Mirror, mirror Reflect my withering heart…"
Time seemed to slow down to a stop. Even through the searing pain and the absolute darkness, he felt he could see clearly for the first time. 'This is it…' he thought. On that second, he knew with absolute clarity what his future was going to be. 'I'm done for… Oh well… Noone's going to miss me anyway…' He wasn't afraid, to die; nonetheless, he tried reaching for another blade. 'Magnus… If I die here, I can never see him again…' As the Demon prepared to shorten the Nephilim ranks by one, there was only one thought on Alec's mind. He didn't think to run and save himself, neither about his family, or the life he'd never get to live. On his mind was only one name; a beloved face he would never see again, and a pair of beautiful green eyes.
"Mirror, Oh mirror, Whose crying voice can break you?"
He pulled the blade out in a swift motion, and the demon fell on it with all its momentum, getting fatally wounded, but not before managing to strike him, pinning his hand down, breaking it too. He screamed again, and as his vision returned, he saw in the light of his fallen blade the demon disappearing. Just then, in the daze from blood loss and pain he thought he heard a beloved familiar voice echoing from far away, frantically calling his name, but he couldn't move anymore.
"Goodbye, the kisses until yesterday…"
'I must be half-dead already… I'm hallucinating…' He closed his eyes for the last time whispering "Mag… nus… For…give me…" was all he managed to say.
"Goodbye, dear pain in my heart…"
He was floating into the void when he heard again a voice he knew and loved, screaming, then getting closer, and whispering his name. The scent of sandalwood and burned sugar enveloped him and he felt soft lips on his forehead and something wet and warm, falling on his face, as gentle, strong arms cradled his body, and the voice crooned soothingly, calling his name, pleading with him not to leave, to open his eyes… He knew he was never going to feel these things again while he was alive. So that meant it was over. He opened his eyes, and a pair of beautiful golden-green cat eyes hovering above him, swam into his blurred view. A burden was lifted from his shattered heart, and he felt the pain and agony of his torn soul, easing, as Magnus was there, and those eyes he adored looked at him, not with the coldness and hate of his latest reality and nightmares, but with love and concern instead. He couldn't help but smile. Even if he was dead, it was so worth it.
[………]
Maybe hours, maybe minutes or seconds later, Alec found himself standing in an empty space, unable to remember what happened. His memories were like a fading dream. Disappearing the more he tried to recover them. He thought he had seen Magnus, spoken to him, but his mind was foggy and he couldn't be sure. He looked around him, searching for someone, but he was completely alone. "Magnus…" he called for the Warlock without thinking "Mag–" He turned and saw him, standing there, as if he materialised out of the nothingness, but he just looked down on Alec and turned to leave. "Wait. Please. Please…" he called desperately and run after him, reaching out to catch him. Gripping his hand he felt an excruciating pain and fell on his knees. "Help me… Mag… nus… Please don't go… I'm sorry… Please… No… Save…me… Sorry… I… No…" The Warlock just looked at him indifferently and then turned his face away. Alec gripped his hand tighter, trying to ignore the increasing pain and pleaded, crying "I'm sorry… Please… Forgive me… Please… Don't… Please don't leave me…" His vision blurred and Magnus seemed to disappear. He couldn't see him, but still held his hand, when he heard his voice "I'm so sorry… My love…" he felt a gentle hand on his forehead, cool fingers softly touching him and before he had time to wonder what's happening, everything went dark again.
