ON WITH THE STORY!
Everything at the institute was silent except for the soft sound of rain from outside. Alec sat on his bed and watched the rain as is pitter-pattered against the window. The shadowhunter laid on his bed and sighed to himself and suddenly felt a vibration in his pocket. Alec opened the text and smiled at the screen
hey hope I didn't wake you.. It didn't take long for him respond.
No it's only ten. Son after he laid his phone down he felt another vibration.
I know that. but I can't sleep it's about to start thundering. Soon after he read the text he heard a loud thunder crack and a lightning bolt flashed across the sky. Alec frowned and relied quickly
I hate it when you do that
No you love me
If only if only
Ouch that hurts. Before Alec could reply Jace came into the room (without knocking might I add) and looked at Alec with a straight face
"someone's here and mom needs you, she's in the library" with that Jace quickly left to his room without another word.
"yeah yeah go fuck your girlfriend" Alec mumbled under his breath. The dark haired shadowhunter hastily made his was to the library. On his way all he thought about was the unanswered text to Magnus. When he entered the library his mother was standing there with a little girl who looked to be about six or seven. She had curly light brown hair that was wet and light grey eyes that stood out against her slightly tanned face. She was wearing black pants and a sweatshirt.
"I was told you wanted to see me?" Alec said as he walked towards his mother.
"yes, Alec this is Magdalena" Maryse said indicating to the little girl. Alec gave her a look that pushed her to explain further. "She just popped up on the steps to the institute...As you can see she's not in the best of shape. You are aware that your father and I will be going to Idris tomorrow early morning. So I am asking you to take care of her until further notice" Maryse explained in a soft yet formal tone to Alec. The dark haired boy looked at his mother with a look that said 'wait what?'
"Okay" he answered simply. Maryse sighed in what looked like relief.
"Thank you, and try to get her to open up to you . All she has said to me is her name, and Isabelle has left clothes in your room that she has found for Magdalena to wear" Maryse said before looking at Magdalena "This is my son Alexander, he will be taking care of you" she said softly and the little girl nodded taking small steps toward Alec. He nodded to his mother and walked out of the room, Magdalena following closely behind. When they arrived at Alec's room, the little girl simply walked to the bed and took the clothes. Alec took that as a sign to leave for a moment. As he was standing outside his room he pulled out his cell phone and finally texted Magnus back
sorry, my mom needed me for a moment he quickly typed it and sent he quickly got a reply and read his phone
oh? well can you come over? I'm lonely Alec smiled at the text but soon frowned
Can't I have to baby-sit a little girl for god knows how long
Well then bring the little one over here I wanna see the girl. I might get jealous Alec snorted to himself and suddenly felt the door open slowly to reveal Magdalena in a different pair of pants and a blue sweater with faded purple butterflies on it. Alec walked over to his bed and sat down looking at the child that had closed the door and was now standing in the middle of the room.
"you can sit you know" he said patting the seat next to himself on the bed. The little girl walked over and sat stiffly next to Alec, looking at her feet. "So, where did you come from?"
Silence
"Where are your parents?"
More silence
"Why are you here?"
Again. Silence.
"What's the square root of one hundred and thirteen?" He brightened a little when the girl turned her head to look at him
"one hundred and thirteen is a prime number" she said in a small voice. He voice was very shy and quiet, like a little mouse hiding from certain death by rat poison.
"so you can talk?" he said looking at the girl
"Yeah" she said simply, looking away
"So are you gonna answer any of my other questions?" he asked
"Don't know, Don't care, and because I heard the institute helped people" she explained and looked at Alec
"I see, well we do help people here" He said then looked back at her "What do you mean, you don't know where you came from?"
"Never been outside. I wouldn't know." She explained and then started playing with the pink dress
"mmhmm" Alec murmured She needs help, maybe Magnus can he thought to himself. "how about we go visit a friend of mine?" he suggested
"sure" she answered and stood up after Alec, walking out of the room after him
Alec unlocked the door to Magnus's loft and walked in and saw the high warlock himself sitting casually on the couch flicking through channels. When Alec coughed a little Magnus swung his head around and grinned at the shadowhunter in his entryway
"Alec, darling!" Magnus walked over throwing his arms around the nephilim and then looked behind him to see Magdalena clinging to Alec's jacket. "and who is this?" he said smiling
"Oh, this is Magdalena. My mom told me to take care of her until 'further notice'" Alec explained
"you're mother just loves doing this to you" he smiled
"She's my mother of course" Alec sighed then tried prying Magdalena off of his jacket so she could see Magnus. When he pushed he in front of him she looked up at Magnus and backed up into Alec then looked at the floor.
"Well hello there Magdalena" Magnus crouched down to meet at Magdalena's level.
"Lena" she murmured
"what?"
"Lena, I like being called Lena, My full name is a mouth full" she mumbled again
"Oh well then, Lena, why did you end up at the institute?" He questioned
"I left home without telling my mom, and someone told me to go to the institute" she explained
"who told you?" Lena shrugged at his question and looked up at Magnus's face.
"You have pretty eyes" Lena mumbled. Magnus stared for a moment before laughing a bit and looking straight at her again
"Well thank you, your eyes are quite nice too" he returned and stood up to look at Alec "And how are you shadowhunter?"
"Fine, just a little curios about ma-Lena" He answered looking at Magnus. The warlock smiled and leaned over to capture Alec's lips in a chaste kiss.
"Oh I see how it is" Lena said between the two. Alec quickly pushed away, a blush on his face, and coughed.
"yep, that's how it is." Magnus smirked and guided the two to his living room. Alec and Lena both stopping to take off their shoes. Lena knowing in her mind that she had a lot of explaining to do.
"So Lena" Magnus said sitting down on the couch, also motioning for the other to two to do so. "explain" Lena sighed and turned to look at the two
"I don't know where I'm from because my mom always kept me inside the house away from the world. I didn't like my living conditions so I left. End of story" She said simply.
"How old are you?" Magnus asked
"Six" she mumbled
"Six?" Alec exclaimed standing up "You left home and you're only six? Do you know how dangerous that is?"
"Couldn't be anymore dangerous than my own home" She mumbled looking away.
"what?" Alec said turning to her "what's that supposed to mean?" Lena frowned and pulled of her sweater to reveal several cuts, scars, bruises and other mars adorning her arms. Alec sucked in a breath and Magnus stared like the sight didn't affect him at all.
"And these all came from your mother?" Alec Breathed. Lena Nodded and pulled her sweater back on.
"She's not my real mother. Just someone who got me dumped on their porch when I was a baby" Lena explained.
"Though your speech is pretty sophisticated for a six-year old" Magnus commented
"My mother was an English teacher, she made sure I knew proper English for a young lady" Lena stated.
"Well, why would your mother keep you inside all the time?" Alec turned to ask
"Every time I went outside when I was about two, things attacked my mother. She said I was some horrible creature that god threw on her doorstep to punish her" Lena said with a straight face. Alec frowned and sat back down. How could someone do that? Even if it wasn't her own child, no innocent girl should be treated like that. Alec hated people like that.
"What things honey?" Magnus asked
"They were very disturbing to look at, but my mother couldn't see them. She kept telling me I was insane." Lena looked down at her arms and slipped her sweater back on, feeling uncomfortable about being so exposed.
"Demons" Alec stated "Probably some demons sent after you" Lena nodded and fumbled with her hands.
"Well that settles thing" Magnus said standing up "You'll be staying with me"
"What?" Alec interrupted "She was put in my care I can't just do that"
"You can come here frequently and watch over her, but is Maryse finds out that demons were after her, she's going to want to find out why and send her to Alicante" Magnus explained walking out of the room
"I don't want to be trouble for anyone" Lena said looking at Alec
"Please! you're not burdening me! It'll be fun, trust me!" Magnus yelled from another room. Lena looked towards where Magnus had left to in confusion.
"What is he doing?" she mumbled to Alec
"Building you a room" Alec face palmed and smiled at Lena.
"he's what?" She asked astonished. "but how? he-I mean-That's-But it's-wait-what?"
"Magnus is a warlock" Alec explained and smiled again at the surprised expression Lena gave him. Suddenly her face split into a grin.
"That's so cool!" She exclaimed bouncing in her seat. Magnus walked into the room looking at Lena
"What's your favorite color?" He asked
"Pink!" She answered grinning
"Wonderful" He smiled back and returned to what he was doing. After a few minutes of waiting Magnus called for Lena and Alec so the two walked towards his voice. Magnus was standing next to a door that was never there before. Alec gave him a questioning look and Lena was slightly bouncing, clinging to Alec's arm again. Magnus opened the door and Lena rushed in.
"It's dark" she stated. Suddenly Magnus turned on the lights and several flower lamps that were mounted into the wall lit up a bright pale blue glow. Lena made a sound that was between a "wow" and a gasp. Lena examined the white canopied full size bed, the white dresser in the corner and all other furniture one would find in a girl's room.
"You're going to spoil her" Alec said looking at Magnus who was watching Lena bounce around her new room.
"She needs spoiling." Magnus smiled at Alec.
"Thank you so much!" Lena squealed from the other side of her room.
"My pleasure" Magnus said grinning and the brunette. Out of nowhere the girl had come running up to Magnus and threw her arms around his middle in a hug. As soon as the warlock returned the sudden hug, Lena tore away from him and hugged Alec.
"Really, thank you" She smiled looking up at the couple.
