Shadowhunters {Alec Lightwood}

Chapter 9

Mackenzie PoV

We were in a warehouse, and we were all holding our weapons. ''Magnus' lair is right behind that fence'' Jace said.

''Magnus lives in a warehouse?'' Clary asked.

''Not exactly. Warlock glamour'' I told her.

''Something's wrong. It's far too easy to get this close'' Izzy said.

''His protective wards must be down'' Jace said.

''You'' Alec looked at Clary. ''Don't get in the way''. Clary rolled her eyes then I saw man threw a man over the fence.

''Oh God! Valentine found Magnus'' Clary yelled, while we all ran to find Magnus. Me and LAec stick together and we found Magnus' room and he was fighting a man. I took my dagger out and threw it at the man's arm, while Alec shot an arrow at his leg, then Magnus used his magic.

''Well done'' Alec said.

''More like medium rare'' Magnus said turning to us and glared at us. Mostly Alec. ''I'm Magnus. I don't think we were formally introduced''.

''Alec''. There was silence between the 2 of them, so I broke it.

''And I'm Mack. We should probably go'' I said, grabbing Alec's hand and joined the others.

I was with my brother and I saw Clary and Magnus talking, but then I looked away. Few minutes later, Magnus spoke up. ''Hold tight everyone. We're about to move''.

''Much better'' he said when the furniture was clean. ''After each move, I get the itch to redecorate. Normally I love a dirty lair, but this one is just sloppy'' he said, placing his foot on the table and it looked like he was flirting with Alec.

''Ok. So how do we summon the memory demon?'' Clary asked.

''Are you certain? Summoning a powerful demon could be lethal'' Magnus warned her.

''I'd do anything to save my mother. Where is the demon?''

''Ok. Pretty boy, get your team ready'' Magnus said and Jace thought it was him. ''Not you. I was talking to...you'' Magnus pointed at Alec and I looked at him and he just shrugged. ''Come with me' Magnus told Clary and they both went to the other room. 

***

It was like hours or something and we went in to the room where Clary was. ''Jocelyn was right. Your artistry is beyond compare. The only person I've known who could draw as well was Michealangelo, who was excellent in bed, I might add'' Magnus looked at Alec again. I gave Alec a questioning look and he just shrugged again. ''Ok, we're ready. Everyone take your place in the pentagram'' Magnus said and I was standing in between Alec and Jace. ''We must initiate a bond. Once this bond is complete, it can't be broken until the demon retreats. No matter what happens, we must not let go of each other's hands'' Magnus explained, grabbing Alec's hand, while I grabbed Jace's and Alec's hand.Once we all grabbed each other's hands, Magnus spoke up again. ''I will lead and you must do exactly as I say. The demon's name is Valak and he will ask for payment in exchange in Clary's memories''.

''What do you mean? What kind of payment?'' my brother asked.

''We will see. Let us begin'' Magnus told us and started speaking in Chthonian, then I looked at Izzy's necklace and it was pulsing.

''The necklace is pulsing'' Izzy said and a tornado appeared.

''Valak is among us. Do not break the bond'' Magnus said.

''Hold on!'' Jace told Clary.

''I'm trying'' she replied.

''It is time. The demon demands payment'' Magnus stated.

''What does it want?'' Jace asked.

''We must each relinquish a beloved memory of the one we love the most'' Magnus explained. Izzy's memories was first, and hers was Alec. Clary's was her mothers. Mine was dad. I was really close with him. Then an image of Jace came up and it wasn't mine, so I looked at Alec.

''No! Its not true! The demon deceived me'' Alec said.

''Do not try and break the bond!'' Magnus yelled and Alec was nervous.

''Alec, it's ok'' I tried to reassure him, but Alec managed to let go of my hand and Magnus' and everything went wrong.

''I cannot contain the demon much longer'' Magnus said and Alec was about to go to the tornado, but Jace stopped him and he went to the tornado.

''Jace!'' I yelled, grabbing his arm. Izzy got hold of his other arm and Alec got his leg.

''Clary, help us!'' Izzy yelled.

Clary walked towards the tornado and stabbed the demon, making things calmed a bit and my brother lying on the floor. ''Jace? Jace, get up'' I said, trying to wake my brother up and panicking a bit.

''Is he going to be alright?'' Clary asked.

''I don't know. Does he usually lay like that without moving?'' Magnus asked and I glared at him.

''Get up. Jace'' Alec tried waking up his parabatai, then seconds later, Jace got up coughing and all of a sudden I pulled him into a hug a tear rolled down.

''I'm alright Mack. I'm alright. I'm ok'' he told me.

***

I was in my room, sitting on my bed, thinking of what had just happened. I heard a knock and Alec came in. ''Hey'' he greeted, sitting beside me. ''Look, I seriously have no idea why J-''

''Alec, it's ok. I know you have feelings for him. And if you have feelings for me too, you just....You can't like me and him at the same tine. So, maybe I'll give you time to think. When you decided, give me an answer" I told him, and that hurt me.

A/N: Forgot to say I'm making their relationship slow a little. Some will be Malec moments and Mack/Alec.
