CHAPTER 19 - The Warlock's Pain (Small Bonus, Magnus POV, Parallel to Chapter 16)
Magnus was terrified. The demon poison had trapped Alec in a Dream state and he wouldn't wake up. He was burning up and mumbling in his sleep. The Warlock was sitting beside him, gently petting his hair, whispering sweet nothings, trying to soothe him, pleading with him to wake up. Little did he know, that in Alec's dream, he was doing the exact opposite. He looked on, helpless, as Alec's breath became more erratic and he gasped in his sleep, silent tears falling from his closed eyes. When he moved to wipe away his tears, he heard the Nephilim whisper 'yes' in a defeated, broken voice. "Who are you talking to?" he wondered. Suddenly the boy flinched like he was slapped and started mumbling "I wouldn't… Never meant…" he stopped abruptly and froze, scaring Magnus even more. The calm didn't last long though, as Alec soon started sobbing uncontrollably and the Warlock heard him struggling with his words "Why… didn't you let me die?" His eyes widened "Die?" Magnus repeated terrified taking the Nephilim's face in his hands and stroking his hair gently. "Please wake up…" "No…" Alec spoke again "Please… Mag-"
The Warlock froze, tears falling from his cat-eyes "My fault… My Angel… Wake up!" The Nephilim was a crying mess now, his body shaking, sobbing, breathing with difficulty, and barely piecing out pleas between ragged breaths and sobs "Please… I'm sorry… Sorry… Please… I'm… Sorry… Let… Me… Die… Please…" Magnus was sobbing too, hugging him tightly and begging "Please my Angel… Wake up… Please… Open your eyes… Your beautiful blue eyes…" At that, the boys eyes opened with a start, as he drew a sharp breath and looked up at the Warlock. 'Thank God…' Magnus thought looking with love and relief at those blue eyes he adored.
Alec stared back at him terrified, then perplexed, disbelief edged on his beautiful features, mouthing something like 'Love?' and absently reached out to wipe his tears when finally, seeming to realise what's happening, whispered; "Ah… I'm hallucinating again…" and his azure eyes closed, his hand falling back down, as he fainted once more.

Note: That's it for today, sorry! I will try to update again soon! However there are only 2,5-3 chapters to go, and they need a lot of work, so I don't know when I'll be able to make it… Sorry in advance if they're late.
P.S: I hope you like the latest chapters and I didn't lose my sleep in vain! :P

Teaser: {ALEC}Alec woke up with a start, breathing erraticaly 'Magnus… No, no, no, no… But… If I'm alive, so must be he…'
"So I've been dreaming…" he realised; "But… which parts… were the Dream?"

His head was splitting, memories fighting in it. Magnus leaving him. The girl Warlock. The Demon. Magnus loving him. Magnus, leaving again. Then hating him. Demon. Magnus sacrificing his life to save him, and himself unable to take it, commiting suicide. He clutched his head. What really happened?
