I know it will be short but it's just a filler section for your sake and mine as well my lovelies! Enjoy thanks for reading and leave a comment below :) )
Alec shouted out Magnus's name, tearing itself from his throat it came out a shrill scream unrecognizable what he was saying. The woman besides him had dropped the violin and ran to the railing screaming something and failing her hands, and Magnus was suspended in the air and slowly drifted upwards, still limp as a rag doll. Was she a warlock?
Alec looked at this woman tears streaming his face, her small form seeming like it was hauling a heavy rope over the railing, her pointed teeth biting into her flesh causing crimson blood to drip down her bluish grey chin.
Magnus's body clanged onto the metal surface and the woman leaned down against his chest, listening for a heartbeat her face tensing. She looked up at Alec with bright eyes and shuffled around her coat pocket remove a flip phone and handed it to Alec. "Here, call. Call who help us." She said with broken English and a thick accent that sounded somewhat Russian.
Alec began to dial Jace's cell phone number still sobbing, just before he connected the called he looked up and spoke at last, "Wait..I don't even know who you are, I don't even know your name.."
"Catrina. Now call." She said panicked. Alec called Jace trying to explain through his ragged sobbing, Catrina was moving her hands above Magnus's being tracing his shape and chanting some language- despite Alec's years of studying books and demon languages and warlocks spells, had never heard.
Magnus's tan skin was ghostly pale, and he lay still. It wasn't like him and Alec didn't like it. He had hung up from Jace who was on his way with the others, Alec kneeled besides he fiancée still unable to stop his tears.
"Take hand." Catarina ordered him, Alec didn't understand so she moved his hand atop Magnus's, "You will be weak in moment, understand?"
Alec nodded, they had gone through this procedure once before in the battle between Sebastian and his endarkened army months ago. As Catarina held both their hands tightly together a portal whirled behind them, Jace , Izzy and Clary spilling from it. Clary was the first to scream at the amount of blood pooling around Magnus, but quickly composed herself, for Alec's sake.
Jace kneeled down besides Magnus's body and examined his wound, "it's coming from his back." He said gently tilting him upwards. His slid a thin hand underneath and his reddened hand come out with a long thin object in it.
Jace's eyes widen, Alec could see the horror shingling in them as clearly as a burning candle. "No...this.. It can't be..." Before Alec could ask him what Catarina flew back with a yell as Magnus bolted upright screaming inhumanely, his body convulsing. Alec tried to calm him but he came to a halt when he say his eyes. Black, fathomless pits; ones he had seen before. Sebastian's.
"Magnus's voice was deeper, slower in time it self and whatever this being was it growled, "I am coming, if I can't destroy heaven I shall raise hell! Raise hell I say!" With that his eyes closed again and he collapsed back into Alec's arms, but this time his chest rising and falling gently.

Back in the institutes infirmary Magnus lay in bed with the blankets pulled up just below his chest, multiple tubes plugged into his arms pumping things in and draining things out. Alec hadn't even bother to ask.
The silent brothers stood in every corner of the room discussing things in their wordless mind speak. Isabelle was cleaning Magnus's blood stained face, Jace was tala king with brother Zachariah, and Alec, well Alec was too wheel shocked to do anything but hold Magnus's hand and force himself to break down in hysterics.
Zachariah and Jace came over to the bedside Jace sitting on the end of the mattress with a distressed look. This was going to be bad news, "well good news, he's breathing."
"Bad news?" Alec murmured. It was brother Zachariah who answered him in his mind.
'Alexander he's been posioned...the thing Jace found in his back was a shax demons talon. When pinned to a victim it doesn't impale straight away, it laches on to the prey slowly working it's way in and when the victim makes a sudden jerk of movement, they are impaled as Magnus was.'
"But," Jace cut in. "Magnus's body is fighting the poison rather well because were he is a warlock his body has a stronger immunity to theses things then shadowhunters and mortals- hell it would kill a mortal instantly. But it doesn't explains Magnus's last few moments of consciousness. He was...something else...like he was possessed. Those aren't side effects of shax demon poison....so what could it be....,"
"Sebastian..." Isabelle exhaled, widened eyes. "That's the message he left us, "I am coming' do you think this is the start of his horrific revenge?"
Alec squeezed tightly onto Magnus's hand not wanted to imagine that monster inside his lovers body. He didn't care, he start to cry again. Biting his lips, his tears flowing freely; Izzy crossed the room wrapping her arms around her brother to comfort him.
"So it's like a coma, somewhat?" Alec croaked out.
'Yes.' Zachariah answered. 'But his condition is stable for the time being, no need to fret at the moment.' Alec nodded. He hadn't yet told the others of his engagement, and at this point in time he didn't feel like it, not unless Magnus was there with him to tell them at his side.
Alec had asked the others to leave the room so he could be alone with Magnus. "If anything happens I'll come fetch you." He said to brother Zachariah, who returned him with a nod.
After the others left to room was silent as death, not even a footstep or a creaking floorboard. Alec, carefully avoiding the tubes crawled into the bed bedsides Magnus. Hugging onto his body, his chest rising and falling with an even robotic motion. It was then he sobbed, screeching into the pillow allowing his tears to stain his shirt.
After he could cry no longer he laid in silence with Magnus's constant, heavy breathing squeezing his hand, "please, please Mags you got to wake up. We got to go get married. You promised me with the ring." He pressed the cold metal of the ring against Magnus's cheek, yet his lover did not flinch as Alec had hoped.
Lost in despaired Alec sat up and begun writing a fire message to the one person he needed right now. A shoulder he need to cry on and ditsy a with until Magnus woke up. He sent the message and within moments came the reply.
They were on their way and be there by morning. The last line said, "Who could do something this terrible. I cannot express how sorry I am dear friend, Alec I am on my way do not worry. Don't dare do anything stupid until I beth their. I will help every way I can.
Sincerely, Victoria."
