MALEC ONESHOTS!

Halloween (AU)

A/N: Happy Halloween all! I watched Corpse Bride for the first time the other day so why not accompany this one-shot with Victor's Solo from it along with the entirety of the Shadowhunter characters. I'm in love with the Alternate Universe I used wherein Shadowhunters have their own unique wings.

---

"Is everyone ready?" Magnus asked the group that stood before him. They all nodded. "Then get ready." he grinned. Magnus owned a scary mansion that only opened on Halloween. The Shadowhunters before him exchanged glances and exposing their wings. Jace visibly shivered when his extended into their fullest glory, there was a definite chill in the air.

"I apologise for the cold but, how many haunted mansions do you know have heating?" Magnus apologised. "Right, places please everyone!"

Everyone scattered to their assigned places. "You going to be alright? It takes a while for them to get here." Magnus worried over a black-winged Alec who sat himself down on a huge throne like chair.

"Magnus, I want to do this, play the bad guy for once. If I have to wait twenty minutes to half an hour, I can." Alec smiled.

"Well, you are perfect for the part. Deceivingly beautiful and you have the rare black wings."

"Mhmm. Go, we open in ten." Alec pushed. Magnus ran to wait by the front door, casually leaning against the door frame.

A group of people appeared in his line of sight, cautiously making their way to him. Magnus plastered on a smirk and opened his arms wide in welcoming. "Welcome one, welcome all to my humble abode." he greeted, counting heads. "Once a year on Halloween night I like to show people my... Findings. Please, follow me. Do not stray from the group or there will be consequences."

Magnus turned and opened the large double doors. Down the main hallway, there were segments cut away at the wall to reveal Izzy and Simon fighting each other, Simon with his golden wings and Izzy with her dark blue ones.

On the other side, was Tessa Gray, morphed into Aline Penhallow, and Jem Carstairs battling it out. Tess had light grey wings and Jem had dark purple ones.

"What are they?" someone from the group asked, fearfully. Magnus kept walking a little, revealing more and more pairs of good and 'bad' fighting. Magnus paused on a marker as two steps in front of him was Jace, positioned on the scaffolding above them. Magnus turned to the group, counting heads silently making sure no-one had run off. No-one had. Thankfully.

"They, are angels and demons. I caught them and now I'm-"

He was cut off by a collective scream, feigning fear, Magnus turned slowly to see red-winged Clary, face contorted with anger running at him, claws zoutstretched. "BACK!" he cried, the group stumbled backwards. "JACE!" Magnus called for his friend. "JACE!"

Taking his cue, Jace whipped out his Seraph blade activated it and at the point where Clary was in the perfect place, Magnus screaming his name once more, jumped down from his hiding spot and descended on a rabid Clary, blade poised to kill. At the absolute last second, Magnus transported Clary out of the room into the room where Alec was in a puff of black smoke. Clary grinned at Alec who returned the gesture and he dashed off to an adjacent room. Jace landed on one knee, blade still activated. He stood up and turned to the group, sheathing his blade in his belt. Jace shook his pure white wings slightly and made his way over to Magnus.

"I thought you told me she was taken care of." Jace growled.

"I am sorry. Thank you for that, though." Magnus smiled sheepishly.

"I was actually looking for you. There is some strange activity happening in your drawing room."

"What do you mean? Demonic?"

"Very much so." Jace turned to the fearful onlookers. "Are you all alright? No-one's hurt?"

Everyone shook their heads. "Good. Let's go."

The all set off again to the room at the end of the hallway. Jace reached for the handle and recoiled instantly.

"What's wrong?"

"The energy radiating from this room. It's not just demonic, it's pure, unwavering evil."

"Something isn't right here." Magnus pushed the door open. The group entered but no-one was there. Magnus subtly clicked his fingers and the door slammed and locked behind them. Everyone in the group turned to the door as Jace tried it. He shook his head and turned to look at Magnus but instead looked past him in horror. Everyone turned back and was met with the sight of Alec, sat on his throne with a black crown situated over his raven hair.

"Welcome one, welcome all to my humble abode." he mimicked Magnus's words from earlier.

"Who are you and what do you want?" Jace asked, pulling out his readily activated blade and making his way to beside Magnus, wings outstretched and poised for attack.

"My name is none of your concern. You, however, are becoming quite the problem for me. Killing MY PEOPLE!" he yelled, his voice echoing throughout the mostly empty room.

"I'm protecting the human race." Magnus replied, taking a step forward.

"You are your precious angels are doing nothing but prevent MY race from existing."

Alec stood, allowing his wings to fully extend. His were a lot longer and wider than Jace's. Jace's came down to his lower back whilst the tips of Alec's were trailing the floor as he stalked toward them. They were feathered, like all the others, but the way that Alec had styled them made them look more ragged.

Jace also made his way toward Alec, holding his blade out. Alec laughed slightly and pulled out his own blade. Magnus had coloured it black so when he activated it, it glowed a harsh black, not white like it was supposed to.

"You dare cross blades with me, Angel?" Alec sneered, placing his blade against Jace's and pushed it away from its position, trained against his heart. "You can't defeat me."

"I have defeated the likes of you before."

"What sets you apart from all the other?" Alec growled, keeping his blade against Jace's.

"I have more Angel than mundane blood in my veins," Jace explained, switching his blade to the other side of Alec's. Alec knew the routine like the back of his hand and he quickly grabbed Jace's arm and flung him to the side, pressing his back against Jace's weapon arm.

"And I, Angel, am Lucifer's right-hand man. Defeat me now." he hissed, throwing Jace away from him. The pair fought each other whilst Magnus shielded the group with his arms. Alec managed to get Jace's blade out of his hand, it sticking in the ground. Taking this opportunity, Alec pretended to impale Jace, the side view made it look like he had been stabbed. Jace held a blood bag, supplied by Raphael, to his side which Alec pierced through, coating his blade in its blood.

Jace had a 'blood sweet' as he called it, in his mouth. He bit down on it and blood dripped from his lips. He coughed and the blood bubbled from his mouth. Alec withdrew his weapon and Jace crumpled to the ground. Magnus, before anyone could see, got on his knees in front of Jace and quickly applied a little makeup to his stomach, making it look like he had a wound there.

"You... He's..." Magnus stuttered. Alec laughed manically. Magnus fell backwards and shuffled his way back to the group. "You won't hurt them!" he spoke, standing up again.

"Stop me." Alec taunted. "But not yet. No. I am going to do a little experiment of my own on your special little Angel here." He turned his back to the group, continuing to talk to them. Magnus cast his eyes around and they landed on a door that exited out into the garden. He quietly ushered the group to the door. It opened and he made the group leave. He pointed to the exit to the garden at the other side and they all nodded. Before Magnus could leave the house, however, someone cried out to him. Before he could turn, a hand wrapped around his neck and a voice spoke in his ear.

"Mine now." Alec breathed, yanking Magnus back into the house a little more and slamming the door. The pair peaked through a window and watched at the poor, innocent mundanes ran across the garden and out the other side. There was a lot of cheering at their success. Magnus clicked his fingers and cleaned Jace up along with the blood splatter on the floor.

"Places everyone! We're going again."
