Chapter 11:
I'm so freaking sorry this took so long! I feel so bad! Please don't kill me! And thank you all so much for the lovely reviews. I literally start jumping up and down every time I get a notification. My friends look at me like I'm nuts. They're not far off. :P
Disclaimer: I believe we know at this point that I don't own a gosh darn thing…
Magnus POV
I stepped into my bedroom, quickly crossing it and gently laying Alec down on my bed. I needed to remember to thank Clary for saving me a trip through my living room once my boyfriend was no longer dying in my arms. My heart was beating so fast out of fear that I was terrified I would end up losing Alec by not being able to control my magic.
If Alec looked horrible in that dimly lit dungeon, then I couldn't even think of a word to describe how horrific he looked in my brightly lit apartment. He was covered in bruises, scratches, and burns with hardly an inch of skin unharmed and I could tell some of his bones were broken. Looking him over, I decided that I would start with the more life threatening injuries first. Damn, there were a lot of those.
It took me a few hours, and I was exhausted and completely drained of magic by the end of it, but I was able to at least lessen the severity of his injuries. After bandaging the rest of his injuries and covering him with multiple blankets to stop the shivering, I carefully laid down next to him, gently stoking the hair out of his eyes. It was going to be a rough next few weeks. I couldn't actually cure sickness – not many warlocks could. All I could do is try to eliminate symptoms and possibly shorten the time period.
I must have fallen asleep doing that because the next thing I knew it was the next morning and Alec was beginning to stir.
He blearily opened his eyes and I saw pure confusion filling his baby blues.
"Hey, baby," I said, softly stroking his face and attempting to keep him calm. "You're safe now. She can't get to you," I cooed. I don't know how coherent he was because all he did was nod and fall asleep again.
Not even five minutes after he fell asleep my phone rang, the sudden noise scaring the living daylights out of me. "Hello?"
"Magnus?" Isabelle's voice rang through the phone. "Is everything alright?"
"Yeah, why?" i asked. It wasn't exactly a lie…
"Well Jace was just freaking out for some reason -" She was cut off by the boy in question.
"Magnus I swear on the angel if you did anything to hurt Alec -"
It was my turn to cut him off. "Do you really want to finish that sentence?" I asked. He stayed silent. Well, there was my answer.
"Jace I believe you need to come over here so we can fix that parabati rune. I don't think having you able to feel everything Alec does is a good idea," I said suggestively. I could almost see the disgusted face he was making.
"I'll be over in ten," he said, and then abruptly ended the call.
~rRr~
Sure enough about ten minutes later there was a knock at my door. I snapped my fingers and it opened to reveal Jace and Izzy standing in my doorway.
"Well, come on in," I sighed.
It took a while, but I finally got Jace's Parabati rune back to its original state.
"Where's Alec?" Izzy asked. I had half a mind to tell her that she couldn't see him, but I didn't want to be on the receiving end of her whip.
"He's in the bedroom," I sighed. "You can see him if you must."
She crept into the room and over to her brother, Jace not far behind. I heard both of them gasp at the state he was in. If they thought that was bad then they should've seen him when I first brought him here, I thought.
I watched as Alec slowly blinked his eyes open again. He seemed to be more coherent than he was the first time.
"Hey guys," my poor darling croaked, his voice scratchy from coughing and his week of hell.
Izzy squealed and practically threw herself into his arms, making him wince in pain, but he tightened his arms around her anyway. Jace helped him sit p and then carefully embraced his brother. The whole scene almost made me tear up. For all their flaws and dysfunctions, they were a very caring and supportive family. I knew that in a few weeks, with their help (and of course mine. Where would Alec be without me?) he could make it through the aftermath of that horrible nightmare.
Oh my god. This was all I could come up with. I am so fucking sorry for this crappy and rushed ending and this short chapter! But I've had horrible writer's block for this part and I have so many other stories I want to write but I told myself I couldn't until I posted this! If I think of a better ending then I'll post it in another chapter, but for now it is goodbye. I love you all and don't forget to watch out for other stories! I have about 10 ideas that I want to write down… :P
So review… or don't. I honestly don't care if you do or not on this chapter. I have to say I seriously debated killing Alec just to make it easier but decided against it. Just please don't verbally abuse me or my writing skills?
Also! On figment. Com I have some original stories posted that I would love for you to read! If you search Nicole Kristine Hazouri in author then you'll find me and be able to read them. :) and it would make my life if you would comment or review on them.
Thank you so much for even just reading this! I seriously love you guys! :D
