Magnus pov:

Time stood still. I drop to the floor as if in slow motion, tears falling down my face one after the other. My body feels cold, in shock of what just happened. "I thought we had more time." I keep thinking, "This can't be happening." I grip my sides, trying to hold myself together for Alec. "Alec!" I scream in pain, "Don't leave me," I cry, clutching on to Alec "Never," he whispered, a tear rolling down his cheek in realisation of the situation. The wound is deep, blood spewing out of it, in no rush to stop. I know this is the end but how can i tell the man I love, how can I watch as his heart shatters, watch as the sparkle dies in his eyes as his happiness fades away.
"Magnus,tell me what to do?" He looks so sad, I want nothing more but to relieve him from his pain. There wasn't time. "My love," I cry, it being the only thing i can choke out.

~~~~~earlier today~~~~~~

"Magnus you can't come with me, it's too dangerous!" Alec moaned,
"That's exactly the reason why I should come. The mission would be a lot quicker and then we could get back to this," I pulled Alec towards me so our lips were an mire breath away. I could feel Alec's shaky breath against my skin, I loved that even now, after years of dating, he still got nervous around me and was still excited by every touch. Alec began to press his lips against mine. I smiled and pulled away "After the mission," How I loved to tease him!

~~~~~present~~~~~~

Alec was stiff, unsure on what to do, if he could do anything. He isn't ready, how could anyone be ready for something like this. I'm not.
There's not long now, I can feel it. My body starts to shake, I feel so helpless, so useless. Alec looks at me with those big blue eyes, full of sorrow, I take it all in; I remember those eyes, those luscious lips, that beautiful face because I know it's the last time I'll see it. I vowed to protect him forever... I failed.

~~~~~early today~~~~~~

Izzy had located the base where the last of the rouge Shadowhunters were hiding, the mission was fairly simple so we thought. We were out numbered, out maned, out everything. We fought them off best we could, we were winning but then...
"Alec watch out!" I screamed, warning him about the circle member to his left, unaware of the man creeping up behind me. The seraph blade pierced my skin then all the way through my stomach. The shadowhunter  pulled out the blade sending an unbelievable amount of agony through my body. With my last remaining strength I sent a fire ball at him burning him alive. My vision blurred but I could see Alec racing towards me "Alec..." I screamed in pain.

~~~~~present~~~~~

"Magnus my life has no meaning without you, please, you can't leave me. I... I can't live with out you," Alec confessed, crying silently. I whimpered in pain, not my own but the pain I feel for Alec "I'm sorry Alec. I never wanted you to have to feels this sort of pain," my breathing is heavy, I can feel my heart slow, my eyes closing. I cant. Just a little longer. Not yet. I will my body to recharge but it's no use. "Live your life, Alec ... for me," At this point the others were all crowding round, all the circle members dead.
"I don't want to live, not without you," Alec pleaded, his tone so desperate.
"I need to tell you something," I cry out. This needs to be said, he needs to know but I don't think I have enough left in me.
"Out of all the years I've lived, I've know many... loved many, but never like you. I will die in peace because of you, Alexander because of the love you gave me," I pause, squeezing Alec's hand, my organs now seconds away from shutting down. The taste of iron filling my mouth as I cough up blood. One more minute, I just need one more. "Alexander Lightwood you're my." And then everything stopped. My immortal life no longer. My mortal lover, left in misery and dispair.
