Chapter 3

Magnus

I could tell by the look on Alecs face that he despised the mess in the living room. So, with just a fingle snap, it was neat and tidy. He rolled his eyes and motioned for me to join him on the couch. I happily did just that. He smiled sweetly at me as I sat down and threw an arm over his shoulder. I wasnt sure what was on tv, I was paying too much attention to Alec. The fact that he smelled of mint and sandalwood-probably from the mints and my bodywash-, and that he just looked so peaceful. It filled me with relief to see him like this. After placing a kiss on kiss cheek, I settled back into the couch and relaxed.

As if on que to ruin all of my happiness, my phone went off. Not even my cell phone. The landline I had in my bedroom. I reluctantly got up and made my way to it. I didnt recognise the number, but it could have been a customer. Lifting the phone to me ear, I listened. Nothing but slow breathing from the person on the other end.

"This is Magnus Bane, the all-powerful High Warlock of Brooklyn. In which ways are my services needed on my day off?" I said bitterly to the caller. They laughed. It wasnt a kind laugh. It was the terrible laugh of Robert Lightwood. Of course he would be the one to call.

"Magnus, I warned you. I told you to stay away from my son. Now, for some reason I have people telling me he is still with you. Why is that?" He said slowly. I rolled my eyes and placed a hand on my sparkly hip.

"Excuse me, but I am an adult. So is Alexander. He can make his own decisions, and so can I." I snapped back bitterly. I heard Alec approach and lean against the door frame. I turned and gave him a soft, reassuring smile. He nodded and went back into the living room.

"Nice choice of words, faggot. Must I remind you that I have connections with the clave? Leave my family alone or I will hurt Alec. He is a disgrace to the family name anyhow." He said, laughing slightly towards the end. I filled with rage.

"You wouldnt dare. He is your own son!" I said, trying harder to convince myself then him. He laughed again. Geez, one laugh can get annoying real fast.

"You have three days." Was all there was for a reply before the live went dead. I put the phone back, slightly to hard, andballed my hands into fists. Why must everything be so complicated? I wanted to stay with Alec, but I didnt want him getting hurt. Frowning, I began to pace the room. We could always go back to a secret relationship, but who knows how long that would last. I could kill Robert. But, I still see some problems showing up behind that. What should I do? I heard footsteps reapproaching me, and suddenly two muscular arms wrapped around me. How I wished I could stay like that forever. Couldn't I? What was I going to do now that Alec was immortal?

"I'm sorry about that." He mumbled into the crook of my neck. I turned around and smiled the best I could.

"There was nothing you could have done to prevent it, darling." I tried to tell him.

"I didnt have to ask you to that reunion. I didnt even have to go. There is always something that you can do." He argued right back. I sigheed. His heart was set on this all being his fault. I gave him another soft smile, and walked into the kitchen to prepare a small snack. I couldnt help it, I was a stress eater. This would be an easy choice. I would stay with Alec if Robert hadnt threatened to hurt him. But, getting Alec physically injured when I could have done something about it want an option. I would have to break it off. Not today, but I would. Robert had said three days, so on the very last was my choice. I would spend as much time as possible with him.

Giving up on food, I went to find the Chairman. After a fw minutes of wandering, I found him on the guest bed. I smiled softly at the small creature and then carried him into the kitchen. I felt awful for forgetting to feed him. When his bowl was filled, I went to find Alexander. I loved himso much, letting him go would be diffult. More so then I had hoped. I had never thought we would get this far. I had loved him from the start, but he was a shadowhunter. Now that he was immortal, I began to worry. Lost in mythoughts, I walked right into the door.

"Ouch! Who put that there!?" I exclaimed in pain. I heard a chuckle come from the bedroom, so I went in. Sure enough, there stood Alec getting ready for training. He pulled his black shirt over his head and then put his arrows over his shoulder and grabbed his bow. After giving me a quick peck on the lips, and a soft smile, he was out the door. The last thing I heard was him yelling a quick goodbye and somethingabout being home at 6. I sighed, and sat on the couch in the living room. My life was about to get a lot worse.
