Magnus woke up to a pounding headache. He assumed it was from the lack of food. After Kara had pushed him into his room, he had stared at the spell in horror for about an hour.
Then he had looked down at his alarm boots and thought about clicking them together. Then he remembered he had no idea where they were keeping Alec, so he hadn't.
He stared at them again now. His neck was sore, Magnus had fallen asleep studying the spell. Not to perform it, but to find a counter spell in case Kara and Ben convince some other warlock to do it for them.
Magnus wanted to tap his boots together, to call for backup and to get Alec and himself out of here.
Just then, someone pushed open the door. Magnus spun out of the chair, stuffed the paper in his pocket, and ran his hand through his hair.
The person who had walked in turned to look up at him. "Are you ready, warlock?" He asked, and Magnus could barely contain a gasp. He looked just like Sebastian, the hair, the jaw line, his voice...all just like his father.
"Where's Alec?" Magnus asked.
"You'll have him after you do the spell." Ben said. Magnus was frustrated. How was he supposed to call for backup when he didn't even know where Alec was?
"Where are you keeping Alec?" Magnus asked.
Ben shrugged nonchalantly, which made Magnus mad. "It doesn't matter," he said. "So, do you get the spell?"
Magnus narrowed his eyes. "You're removing love,"
"Isn't it brilliant?" Said Ben, smiling evilly.
"No, not brilliant." Magnus said. "It's revolting. You're turning Shadowhunters into a cold heartless race of killing machines." You're going to turn Alec into a cold heartless killing machine, Magnus added in his head. "How do you even expect them to have children if there is no love?"
"Even if there is no love, they will understand that they need to create children for their race to survive."
"You speak as if you are not a shadowhunter too." Magnus realized.
"I am a shadowhunter, but I am different than them. I have demon blood, we - my sister and I - are smarter, faster, stronger. A more advanced shadowhunter."
"More advanced my ass." Magnus muttered under his breath.
"Well," Ben said, ignoring Magnus. "Are you ready to perform the spell? Everything you will need will be provided for you."
Magnus looked at Ben. He nodded slowly, he didn't want to do this. He was going to have to tap his boots soon. As soon as I find Alec, he thought.
"Good. Let's go." Ben walked out the door, and down the hall. Magnus followed.
He wondered why Kara and Ben were so trusting, they hadn't checked him for weapons, they didn't chain his hands, the only thing they had done was lock his door. Then he realized, it was because of Alec. They didn't need to check him for weapons, to bind his wrists to make sure he behaved, he would behave because they had Alec. And if he didn't do what they said, they would kill Alec. Magnus shuddered at the thought.
About halfway down the hall Magnus asked, "Am I performing the spell on a real Shadowhunter?"
Ben laughed dryly. "What else? Of course. We have a live shadowhunter for you to use at your disposal."
To use at your disposal. Magnus hated the way that sounded. Now, admittly, Magnus hadn't been a huge fan of Shadowhunters until recently, when Alec came into his life and Magnus realized not all of them were bad.
Ben stopped, and Magnus almost ran into him. "Here's the room." He said. Magnus panicked, he had to click his boots soon.
Slowly the door was opened and the two of them stepped inside. The room was large, had a high ceiling, and a tile floor. "You will perform the spell here," Ben said. "And in that corner," he pointed in a vague direction. "Is your specimen."
In the corner was young shadowhunter who had bruises running up and down his arms, a whip mark on his cheek, and a torn shirt. His hair was wild, black, and messy. He had wide blue eyes and he seemed to say Help Me.
It was Alec.
