The Family of Alec and Magnus(Book 1- Completed)

Chapter 12- The Truth Part 2

Alec's POV

Magnus calls out to me as soon as he walks into the room. "Alec" I hear his voice call, I refuse to turn around and take my eyes off Rafael. He walks over and sits in front of me. "Alec. Some one at the school did this to him. Angel told us"

My eyes snap towards him. "Who" My voice cracks. He looks at Rafael and shakes his head. "We dont know. She says she saw who it was but she couldn't see or hear his name. She can only see Rafael and what happened to him. He fought back for a long time Alec" Magnus tells me.

"But why? How could anybody do this to him? Our baby boy. You can find out Magnus, use your magic" I say to him and he nods. He pulls up his sleeves and puts his hands over Rafael's body.

*Slam* Magnus stops as someone slams our front door and runs up the stairs. Angel appears at the door panting. "Stop. Don't touch him" She says walking towards us and smacking his hand away. "What do you think your doing?" Magnus asks and I listen to them argue. "I said stop Magnus. You can't use magic on him. It'll trigger the spell of the potion he took" She says and Magnus and I stare

"What potion? He never took a potion" I say and she glares at us "He was forced to take a potion. Someone knocked him out and forced it down his throat. If you use magic it could make him really sick. Leave him alone" Angel says.

"I don't think you understand. This is our child" I say standing up and glaring down at her. "I understand just fine. But listen to me would you rather he stays the way he is until the person is dealt with or would you rather he gets sick?" She asks me glaring up at me. I look at Rafael who is sleeping peacefully. Then at Magnus who is waiting for me to say something. But I don't, instead I sit back down and put my head in my hands.

After a minute Magnus sits down next to me and holds me. We sit there in silence. After a few minutes Angel goes rigid and screams in pain.

"AAHHHH!" She screams I quickly stand up and catch her as she falls. She breaths heavily and leans against me. "Thanks..." She says rubbing her head. "No problem. What happened?" I ask and she tries to sit up. "A vision. Sometimes the most life changing and most powerful decisions hurt the most. Where's Max?" She asks sitting up against the wall. I look at Magnus, who looks back at me confused.

"Last time I saw him was when we came back here from the hotel. He ran to his room and slammed the door shut. I think Jace and Simon went to talk to him" Magnus says and I walk back over to him but Angel yells angrily. "Oh no. Max what have you done?!" She shouts and stands up and limps out of the room. "Angel? What did Max do?" I ask as me and Magnus stand up to help her.

"He- mmm- he ran away! He must have been listening at the door this whole time. He's gone. I think he's on his way back to Idris-" She starts to explain but gets cut off by a scream and Madzie appearing in front of us within seconds. "Madzie!" Angel says hopefully but her hope disappears as soon as we see what Madize has in her hands.

"Madzie what is that?" I ask and she slams a letter onto the floor. "It's Max!! He's gone. He ran away!" She sobs, I pick her up and hold her close as she continues sobbing. I quickly walk down stairs to find Max's room empty. Madzie's tears soak my shoulder as she cries.

"Shh it's okay Madzie. We'll find him. Where's Amethyst and Phoenix?" I ask her and she points outside to the terrace where Isabelle, Jace, Clary, Simon and the twins have sat down. I walk over to them and Jace automatically stands up.

"What's wrong?" He asks and I hand Madzie to Clary who looks confused but sits with Madzie next to Simon. Isabelle and Jace follow me inside and ask me what happened.

"It's Max he's gone. He ran away" I tell them and they gasp. They hug me and then pull away. "We'll find him Alec. Do we have any clue's as to where he's going or why or anything?" Jace says and I nod. I watch as Magnus appears at the foot of the stairs with Angel and the envelope. He walks over and hands it to me and I read it.
