An Evil Kidnapping

Chapter 7: Healing

WARNINGS: Blood, a panic attack

****
Alec tugged against the cuff for what seemed like the millionth time. The cuffs dug into his wrist, drawing even more blood.

Alec was surprised he hadn't passed out or died because of all the blood he lost. Just as the thought crossed his mind, his stomach flared up in pain. He tried looking down at it, but it was hard because his body was positioned weird. But from what he could see, there was blood drying all over. He knew Seb-Jonathan had carved something into his stomach but he didn't get a chance to see what it said.

His throat was sore. Anytime he tried to speak, to make noise, his throat burned. Jonathan had promised Alec would scream. And scream he did. Though after a while, they weren't screams anymore, they were more like loud moans of pain.

Briefly, Alec thought of Jace and what he felt. Did he feel Alec's pain? Or did he just sense that Alec was hurting? Alec hoped that Jace didn't feel what he felt. He didn't think he could handle knowing Jace felt his pain. He didn't deserve that. He already had a lot on his plate. Alec also hoped Jace wasn't going to save him, although knowing the golden haired boy, he definitely would.

Alec breathed out harshly but it caught in his throat when he heard the door creaking open. He struggled against the cuffs, making them cut into his skin. Alec didn't want Jonathan-Sebastian-whoever, to come near him.

Alec tugged especially hard and it cut even deeper. His breathing became irregular and he became light headed. He couldn't think properly. All he could think was, No no no no no no, please don't hurt me.

Alec didn't realized he'd spoken out loud. Not until Sebastian/Jonathan (Alec wasn't sure which one it was) told him he wasn't there to hurt him. Alec tried to breathe but it was hard. Sebastian, Alec decided it was Sebastian not Jonathan, came closer and Alec's breathing stopped completely.

He heard Sebastian curse, "Of course he has panic attacks."

Sebastian cursed again, he didn't know what to fucking do! He went to go closer to Alec but once he heard the older boy's breathing stop, he backed up again. He heard Alec breathe again, but it was still irregular.

Sebastian just decided to wait it out, finding no other way. It took a while, but Alec's breathing became normal again and he wasn't fighting against the cuffs. He was actually doing the opposite. Alec was limp, letting the chains hold him up. Sebastian would've thought he was asleep, besides the fact that his eyes were wide with fear.

"Can I come closer now? Or are you going to freak out again," Sebastian's voice was emotionless.

"Why? So you can hurt me some more?" Alec snapped at him.

"The opposite, actually," Sebastian said coldly.

Alec said nothing and let Sebastian come near him. He tensed when Sebastian brought out his stele but didn't freak out. Sebastian drew an iratze on him. The smaller of his cuts closed and faded. But the rune with an x in it on his bicep closed, leaving an ugly scar. He felt the word on his stomach do the same thing. Oddly, his wrist did not heal.

Sebastian frowned, also realizing this. He drew an iratze on his wrist but it still did not heal. Maybe part of his demon blood prevented the iratze from fully healing. Alec also came to the same realization.

Sebastian unlocked the cuffs, catching Alec's body, which was numb so it was hard to stand upright. Sebastian opened the door and dragged Alec back into the basement. But Sebastian didn't put Alec back in the cage, he just propped Alec against a wall.

Sebastian left, locking the door, but Alec was too tired to care or wonder why he wasn't in the cage. Alec's head fell against the wall. He was tired. Alec closed his eyes, not wanting to sleep but his body didn't get that.

He was asleep in minutes.

Sebastian watched as the older boy slept. Sebastian knew Alec was wondering why the demon side of him had came out, but Sebastian didn't want to give him hope.

The reason why he was angry, why he hurt Alec, was because he knew that his friends and boyfriend knew where Alec was at. And Sebastian didn't want Alec to know that. It might make him start rebelling. And Sebastian didn't want that.

So he put the fear demon and the dream demon to guard the basement door. So even if they managed to find where Alec was, the two demons were there. Putting the fear and dream demon together would cause whoever was near them to be sent into their actual worst nightmare. To get out of the nightmare, you had to find a way to destroy your fear. If you did get out, you had to battle the demons and kill them.

And if the group was able to get past the two demons, which Sebastian knew was likely, he would be there waiting. Sebastian would have a knife to Alec's throat, a small cut already there by the time his sister and her friends would arrive.

There'd be a Portal there, waiting for Sebastian and Alec. Once Clary and the rest came in, Sebastian would give them a few seconds to see Alec before jumping into the Portal.

Sebastian had a plan that was sure to work. And that was a good thing too, Alec's friends would arriving sometime tomorrow. Sebastian took one more glance at the sleeping boy before he left. He had to call a warlock to create a Portal that would activate only to his touch.

Sebastian grinned evilly, his plan was perfect. He'd destroy Alec's friend's hearts and still have him. He couldn't wait to see everyone's face when he left, still with Alec. It was all very exciting.
