Amor Verus Numquam Moritur

Chapter 1

Alexander Gideon Lightwood aka Alec was a normal (well as normal as he could be) bartender who sometimes worked doubles since he had no social life outside of this place. Sometimes his siblings got on his case when it came to going out and having a good time but never did he listen. He was not them, he was no daredevil nor was he spontaneous like some would want for him. Alec was kind of sheltered when it came to certain things, hell even though he came out as gay when he was a teenager he has never really had a steady relationship. Sure he went on dates but nothing like others would want for him. It was not them, it was him.. Alec wanted someone who was not like everyone else, someone who was different, someone who-

"Excuse me?" Fuck! Alec forgot he was at work and his back was turned to the counter, as he turned around and saw a man there. A man who looked roughly three years older than him? Give or take a year, he had his dark hair styled to perfection with red streaks here and there, his eyes.. oh his eyes were a dark brown and were caked with eye shadow (glittery eye shadow to be exact) and eye liner. He was a gorgeous man as Alec snapped out of his thoughts.

"Sorry, What can I get for you?" Alec asked, stepping back into his job as a bartender.

"A dirty martini and you?" The guy was smooth.. Alec began to make his martini the way he has made it a thousand times before and placed it in front of him.

"One dirty martini, but sorry.. no bartender." But he was not that smooth as Alec went to go wait on another customer. Alec has been hit on so many times at his job that it was getting exhausting really but what was he to do? He had to work.

"Oh come on, can I at least get a name?" The handsome customer asked.

"Sorry, I don't give my name out to customers." Alec responded as he grabbed a glass and cleaned it.

"Not even for the paying ones?" 

"Not even for them."

                                ~~~Later that night~~~

Alec and his co-worker Aline were the ones closing up the bar that night, their boss was Aline's mother and the two have been friends since their junior year of high school when Aline had no friends and Alec had been the only one kind to her, a gesture that had never been forgotten by Aline or her family, so when Alec showed up wanting a job.. he got one with no hesitation. Alec was taking out the garbage in the alleyway when he heard a slight rustle, it was probably just a rat? They usually were going through the trash since there was a Chinese place right next door. Before Alec could open up the top he was slammed into the wall with a hard thud. Alec groaned in pain as he dropped the bags of trash. 

"You definitely are his type, I can see why he talked to you." Said a woman, as she walked down the alley, a man had been holding him up against the brick wall.

"I did nothing, take what you need and go." Alec said through the pain. 

"I will when you tell me what Magnus wanted."

"Magnus? Who the fuck is Magnus?" Alec was confused.

"Magnus, the man with the glittery eye shadow.. who was flirting with you?"

"I don't know who that is, he's just a customer."

"Sure darling.. does it look like I was born yesterday? You're going to tell me what he said to you or my henchman Russell will take care of you."

"All he did was ask for my name and a martini, I left him alone after that I swear!"

"Oh honey.. I believe you, but the sad thing is.. you saw my face and I can't have you running to tell the police." Alec began to panic as the man known as Russell reached into his pocket.

"No, please! I won't tell anyone I swear!" Alec saw the gun and he tried to get out of his grip but was once again slammed against the brick wall before thrown to the ground, he had been kicked a couple of times in the ribs before the woman stood above him with a frown.

"Its such a shame, you really are cute." Alec saw the man raise the gun and heard a shot go off.. but he felt no pain. Alec fully registered what happened and watched as the henchman went down to the ground covered in his own blood before the woman looked pissed. "Really Magnus! He was my best soldier!" The Magnus guy chuckled.

"Grab her." Two people who were with this Magnus guy grabbed this woman who had ordered a hit out on him and tasered her until she had passed out, Alec tried to stand up but groaned at the pain that shot through his body, fuck! He probably had some broken ribs. "Hello again handsome, sorry but this is a precaution." Alec was confused until a white cloth covered his nose and he struggled before his world went dark.
