Don't walk into the light, it's too dark for you there (Phan x Shadowhunters)

"You don't understand what I'm feeling!"

"DANIEL?!" Dan's father was running through the streets, looking for his son. He stopped when he saw fire. What the hell is happening here?

"Daniel?" He was walking towards the fire. He came closer to the fire and saw someone sitting in the corner, staring at, what looks like a trash can.

"Go away, dad. I don't want to see you or mom or anybody else ever again." Instead of doing what he was told, Dan's father stepped closer to Dan.

"Daniel, this is not the end of the world. You can learn to live with it."

"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M FEELING!"

"Your mom will introduce you to an experienced Warlock and you can talk to him about your feelings. He can help you."

"I don't want to meet that fucking weirdo. I want to be normal again. Can he make me normal?" Dan's father took a deep breath, he knew it wasn't possible, they had asked Magnus before, which is the warlock he was talking about, a very powerful warlock. But it wasn't possible to make a warlock human. Well at least not with normal magic, but it was too dangerous and also against the laws they had to follow. Problem was, that he couldn't tell Dan, that there was no way out. He would never calm down if he told him the truth.

"We don't know if it's possible, but you can ask Magnus when you meet him." He felt bad for lying but it was for the best.

"He is a very powerful warlock, maybe even the most powerful one alive."

Dan looked up, with almost hopeful eyes.

"Really? You think he can help me?"

"I... I don't know. I mean... maybe. Could be..." He smiled, hoping that Dan wouldn't notice that he was lying.

"Okay... I'll come with you. But I want to meet that guy as soon as possible." Dan's father was relieved, at least he would come with him.

"You will. We'll call him tomorrow morning. But you need to sleep first, you look really tired and exhausted and I'm sure your mother feels the same way. This isn't easy for her either, she blames herself for doing this to you." Dan got up from the ground.

"What about Adrian? Mom said that he is normal. What does that mean?"

"Did she not tell you how Warlocks are created?"

"No. Not really."

"Jesus Christ okay. I'll tell you. You see, Warlocks are Demon/Human hybrids. Some demons come to earth, get into a human body and then sometimes they sleep with human women. You know the rest."

"So a demon went into your body?"

"No, she cheated on me. But that's okay. The demon pulled some magic shit on her, she didn't know what she was doing and believe me, I love you just as much as Adrian, even though you're not my actual son." Dan was at the edge of crying again, he was not only a monster but his dad was also not his real father.

"Daniel, you don't have to worry, I raised you as my own child, I never saw you as anything else." Dan didn't say anything on the way home but his 'father' kept telling him that everything would be fine and that he didn't have to worry about anything. Dan didn't believe him. For him, this was the end of the world. All that he wanted was to meet that Warlock, Magnus or whatever the fuck his name was, and just get his normal life back. He never wanted to have magical powers and he definitely didn't want to be immortal. They reached the apartment caught Phil and Dan's mother talking on the sofa. They stopped when they noticed that Dan and his father had entered the room.
