So we're getting there-i'd say over 3/4 through this fic but there's still a whole lot to happen yet! Hope you enjoy and please tell me what you think :D VOMMENT PLEASE!
“We need to find out exactly what it is inside Alec that’s controlling him?” Isabelle jumped in before Magnus could speak then looking at him expectantly.
“I don’t know.” Magnus admitted slowly.
“You don’t know.” Isabelle repeated incredulously. “So you didn’t even know before you tried to tear it out of my brother with magic. Magic so powerful it nearly killed you both. And you didn’t have a clue!” The volume of her voice rising quickly, her fear for Alec and her frustration fuelling her anger.
“I told Alec the risks…but you’re right. It was stupid of me to attempt it without any additional information. I should be grateful it didn’t do any lasting damage-to either of us.”
Magnus’ unusually passive response caused Isabelle’s anger to diffuse from her body almost as quickly as it had come.
“I’m sorry. You were only doing what you thought was right. It was more than any of us managed.”
Magnus nodded but did not speak.
“Did you find out anything from it? A name?” Jace asked.
“Sadly no. Only that this demon is very old and very powerful. I felt his rage; his cruelty- Alec’s will is strong and pure but he cannot hold out forever. Over the past months this creature has slowly been gaining more and more control and our time is running out.”
“Then our main priority now is to find out how to get this thing out of Alec.”
“But how did this even happen in the first place?” Simon questioned thoughtfully.
“I’m assuming he didn’t just wake up one morning with the urge for world domination.” Jace added, his attempt at humour disguising the tension in his body.
“What about this vase we were researching? Where’s the note on it?” Isabelle suddenly remembered, scrabbling around amongst the mess before pushing the paper into Magnus’ hands.
He scanned it in silence for a while as the others stared at him anxiously. If they found out how it had happened it would be easier for them to find a way to reverse it.
“No.”
“What do you mean ‘no’?” Jace retorted.
“This isn’t what entrapped the demon.”
“How do you know?” Simon asked frowning slightly, having been researching it for the past half an hour.
“It’s the same as one that was present in the first shop Alec and I went to. It broke during the fight and something about it…I can’t remember why but I felt compelled to examine it, I suppose I thought it might have helped shed some light on our demon problem, but nothing came of it. Trust me this isn’t what we’re looking for.”
The slight feeling of hope that had been building among the room’s occupants slid away. A thick, oppressive silence hung between them as each racked their brains for anything, anything at all that could help.
“Wait!” Clary suddenly explained running over to Simon and snatching the paper off of the desk before giving it to Magnus to examine. “This was the only other drawing. That means it’s probably important right?”
“What the chest? Clary I don’t want to sound pessimistic but I’ve been researching that thing for ages and I couldn’t find anything. Is Magnus really going to know more than Google-no offence,” he added, glancing in Magnus’ direction.
