Tormented By Our Love (Mortal Instruments,Malec)

Chapter 17

Alec

I was aware of the cries coming from my siblings as pain whistled through my body. Her screams made me want to comfort her, but I couldnt. I couldnt movie at all. Suddently I felt some of the pain leave, and then-nothing. I felt nothing. I heard nothing. I could just faintly see Magnus crying above me. Why was he crying? I was better, wasnt I? I could no nonger feel any pain. I saw his hands pull back from my chest, dripping with blood. Was that my blood? No. It couldnt be. He just healed me. That means..... that meant it was his blood. I tried once again to move, to make sure he was alright, but I still couldnt move. That must have been why he was crying though. He was in pain and I wasnt helping him. Why couldnt I help him. Suddenly darkness filled my vision, and I began feeling tired. My eyelids began to flutter shut, but they shot back open when I heard Magnus scream.

"Alexander, NO! Stay awake. Stay with me. You can not leave like this. Do you here me? You can't leave like this!" He cried out between sobs. Why was he worried about loosing me? What was he talking about? I was fine. Wasnt I? I didnt feel any pain. In fact, I  felt better then ever. Like there wasnt a worry in the world. I allowed my eyes to shut and sleep quickly took hold of me.My only thoughts were of Magnus.

Magnus

Jace and I rushed Alec into the infirmary where the silent brothers waited. If they couldnt help them, no one could. I angrily pushed the thought aside and focused on keeping Alec awake. His eyes were growing droopy and fear panged at my heart. Why wasnt he listening to me? Did he not understand that he hung to life by a thread? We lay him down on the bed, fresh blood pouring from the wound do to all the movement. I brought my hand up to my mouth in disgust, but quickly pulled it away. It was stained a dark red. Alecs blood. My stomach began to do flips as I thought of life without him. I always knew this would happen, but not so soon. His eyes closed, and stayed that way. I willed him to open them, but there was no response. Slowly, the rise and fall of his chest slowed. After that, everything went by in a whirl. I faintly remember hearing the screams and cries of Isabelle. The way Jace began yelling at him to wake up. Nothing. I walked up to his bed and took his hand. Moments later Jace fell to the ground, screaming in pain. His hand tightly clutched to his heart. I knew what was happening. Their parabati bond was breaking. I had seen it happen with Jem and Will. I knelt down next to the bed, prepared for tears to come, but they never did. No. I wasnt sad. I was angry.

"Alexander. Please, please,please. You can not leave me. Not now." I said, restraining myself from shouting. I choked on my own words. Then, everything went silent. No screams. No cries. Nothing.

When I was finally awake and fully consciouse, I examined my surroundings. The sun was high in the sky and clouds danced in the mid morning sky. Alexander still lie on the bead silently, no movements, but something was different. The room was empty of any family of the young shadowhunter, only I remained. I picked myself up off the floor and sat on one of the two chairs next to his bed. Hours later I heard a door open and Jace walked in.

"You're awake...." He said slowly. I stared at him for a moment, slightly confused. He must have caught this. "You have been on the floor mumbling nonsense for 3 days strait. We tried to move you but..... your skin burned us if we touched you." He said, sounding uneasy. He glanced at his adoptive brothers still body. I took a deep breath.

"Has his condition changed at all?" I asked, though slightly afraid I knew the answer already. Surely enough, Jace just slowly shook his head. I glanced down slowly and nodded. Inside I was being torn into shreds. It couldnt be over..... it just couldnt. Could it?
