Previously; Alec opened his eyes to reveal that they were... Glowing.

"What the..." Magnus swore.

"What's going on?" Izzy asked, concern flooding her voice.

"I don't know!" Magnus exclaimed, his hands running through his hair.

Alec was flat on his back, scarily still, but his eyes were open and glowing. They were an eerie blue color. They were almost the exact shade of blue as Alec's normal eyes, but this color was a bit brighter. It looked almost exactly like Magnus's magic, which made Magnus fear what could be happening to Alec.

The warlock had a faint idea of what was going on, but he couldn't be sure until Alec's eyes stopped glowing. He had watched something very similar happen to a little girl when another warlock decided he was going to experiment with different bloods.

The warlock had put a little bit of demon blood and some of his own blood into the little girl. It had caused a reaction worse than what Alec's was now. Both of their eyes were glowing and they were both eerily still, although, Alec's seizures and shaking seemed to have been worse than her's. But the girl had died, too much strain on her little body. Magnus just hoped the same thing wouldn't happen to Alec.

Magnus commanded, "Everyone, out! Isabelle, call Catarina while you're out there."

Isabelle and Jace both looked like they wanted to protest, but they realized how serious Magnus was and left without a word, Clary and Simon following them.

Magnus flicked his hand towards the door. It slammed shut and locked itself, keeping everyone out, while a silencing spell was also cast.

Magnus sat on the edge of the bed next Alec, whispering to Alec who Magnus knew could hear him, "I'm so sorry. I know what's happening and I can't do anything to help. You're going to need to go to the light you see."

Nothing seemed to happen; Alec was still laying still with his eyes open and glowing, but then he twitched suddenly. It was a small twitch, but just enough for Magnus to notice.

"Come on darling," Magnus encouraged, grabbing Alec's hand tightly, "Go to the light. I promise you won't die. You just have to think of me and step into the light, can you do that for me darling?"

Alec twitched again, his hand briefly tightening its grip on Magnus's hand before his whole body went limp. His eyes stopped glowing and finally closed. Magnus was worried for a moment before remembering that it was completely normal. His free hand, the one that wasn't holding Alec's hand, went to Alec's wrist to feel his pulse.

It was steady. Magnus breathed out a sigh of relief, thanking every god that ever existed. Alec would be fine after-

Alec groaned loudly, his body seizing and convulsing again. Magnus held his hand as he waited for the shaking to stop. When it finally did, Alec's eyes fluttered open to see cat eyes staring back at him.

****

He opened his eyes to see green-yellow cat eyes looking at him. He shut them again, not knowing what was going on. Where was he? What was he doing here? Why was he here? Why did he feel so sore and tired? Who is he?
