War of Hearts (a Malec love story)

The Academey still stands

Magnus' POV

The sound of a small cry fills the air and I wake. As my cat eyes adjust to the darkness I gently unwrap Alec's arm from around my waist and throw the covers down. Leaping out of bed, the windows of the academy rattle and the down poor outside is creeping it's way in."Ssshhh darling It's ok, just a little wind." I coo softly. Max, my perfect, sweet little boy instantly stops crying and reaches out for me. As I'm about to set him back down In his crib I feel a hand on my shoulder, "Alexander, did i wake you?" I raise my head, expecting to see my boyfriends blue eyes, but i'm met with narrow yellow ones. My body goes cold and I pull Max closer to me. "Father" I choke out. "why are you here" He circles me, and stops when he sees the baby. A sinister smile spreads across his face as he whispers "For them" I jump away, but he grabs my arm with the speed and grace of a cat. "The academy still stands for now,but just you wait. The queen may have lost her morning star and her best knight, but that only fuels her anger. You best be very careful son, I have been waiting so long to welcome you to my home, and that time is fast approaching". My blood runs cold as I think of a life without my family. My family.   what did he want with them? I turn to ask, but as I face where Asmodeseus was mere seconds ago, I'm met with just air. "WHAT DO YOU WANT WITH THEM!" I scream, "PLEASE, DON'T HURT THEM, ANYTHING, I'LL GIVE YOU ANYTHING!"  I place Max down in his crib, and start breaking things, anything I can get my hands on. A bottle, a picture, even my desk, and then, all of a sudden,the world goes black.

Alec's POV

I wake up to screams. Magnus.  I turn my head and see him, screaming and thrashing in his sleep. His hair is an unruly black tousle, his silk sleeping robe wrinkled and ripped, and tears are streaming down his face. "Mag's" I whisper as i brush across his cheek with my thumb. Instantly, his eyes flicker open and then he's kissing me. His hands through my hair and slamming against me. I kiss back for a moment and then pull away, remembering his tears. "whats wrong Magnus? Is it me? Have i done something wrong??" He doesn't respond for a minute, just plays with a lock of my hair. "everything's perfect Alexander. It was just a dream." he murmurs. My eyes widen. Magnus' dreams are serious business, there not just dreams, but prophecies of a sort. The last time he had a bad dream about Sebastian and the endarkened, it became a reality. " what happened in the dream" He looks at me and a small mile plays across his lips, but i can tell by his eyes that he's scared. "Alec, really, It was nothing. Just a silly bad dream. Everything's completely fine." He leans back against me so that we are lying all the way down again on the bed. "but it would be better if you held me" So that's exactly what I did.
