Victoria had bounded in shortly after Magnus's tearful awakening. As she stood in the doorway she was breathless to see Magnus standing, she started to cry and ran over to hug him. Magnus smiling down at her ran a reassuring hand over her back.
Afterwards, everyone left Magnus's infirmary room accept for Alec and Isabelle- who was doting on him hand foot. Magnus laid his head in Alec's lap eyes closed; Alec running hand s through his hair and rubbing his temples. He let out a small sigh.
Izzy strolled over laying another cool cloth a Magnus's forehead, " Now you understand we have to ask you so e questions right?"
"Go ahead..." Magnus mumbled sleepily, almost curled into a ball in Alec's lap.
Iz bit on her lip trying to form a question, " when did you realized you were well, stabbed?"
"Well, I didn't. Not until I fell of one of the most beautiful places in the world that is."
Izzy mumbled to herself questioningly, "Well brother Zachariah is still in the library sorting some things out about what exactly was coursed into your system."
"Well-" Magnus stopped suddenly making a choking noise, doubled over clutching his chest.
"Magnus!" Alec screamed,panic evident in his voice. He rushed towards Magnus only to be stopped by Isabelle circling her arms around him and pulling him back. "Iz, stop!! He needs me!"
Their were tears in Izzy's eyes as she restrained her brother with great force. "Alec, I'm sorry. But that's not Mags..." She almost sobbed. Alas what stood before them was not Magnus Bane.
Magnus did not have craving, murderous eyes like what stood before Alec now, breathing heavily with blood lust, he had taken up the surgical scalpel at the bedside table, snarling. Izzy's hand went reflexively to her belt, grasping a dagger. "Alec, go get Brother Zachariah. QUICKLY." As Alec hesitated Isabelle shoved him towards the door screaming at him to go.
Alec took off down the twisting corridors as fast as he could, "By the angel if she hurts Magnus..." He burst into the library, "Brother Zachariah! HURRY COME QUICKLY!"
Alec had to say he had never seen the silent brother move as quickly as he did then, testing even his speed limits.From corridors down he could still hear the retched screaming. "Retched Lightwoods, father always disliked them!" Alec froze on spot.
He knew that voice didn't belong to Magnus.Sebastian.
It was followed by maniacal laughter and then shrieks of agony. Oh god Isabelle...Aled thought wondering if she was slicing Magnus to ribbons. He burst through the infirmary door inches before brother Zachariah. His mouth flying agape. Isabelle was on the floor screaming, various cuts made on her arms and face, Magnus leaned over her torso- his yes no longer that of Magnus,for they were pitch black as were Sebastian's.
Bloody scalpel in his grip, he had it raised over Isabelle's heart. He was chanting something Alec didn't comprehend, and when he spoke the voice that spilled from his lips did not belong to Magnus. But Sebastian.
"Ignorant girl,how does it feel to be on the brink of death?" He snarled. Iz writhing beneath him.
"Magnus, stop! Its me Isabelle! Magnus this isn't you! Snap out of it!"Magnus laughed, a horrid gurgling noise from deep within his throat.
"Foolish Isabelle Lightwood, he can't hear you!" With that Magnus plunged the scalpel downward.
Many things flashed before Alec's eyes in those few seconds. Isabelle had always been his sweet, innocent little sister. She could do no wrong in his eyes. Teaching her how to first throw a seraph blade into the heart of the enemy, teaching her how to chant greek and latin demonic vanquishing spells. When she use to come over in the middle of the night, scared and crying because of a night,are when she was no more then seven. She wold crawl in besides him, snuggling into him until morning.
As she grew older her innocence faded away, she became stronger, more confident in herself. Even though Alec was gay, he would have to be an idiot to not see Izzy was gorgeous. She had been the one who had begun to protect him from a young age from Robert's wrath. He could never repay her for any of it in a million years.And now he never would. He LOVED Isabelle with a all his heart.
He didn't even realize what he was doing until it was too late. He darted to Isabelle's side brutally shoving her out of the way,just in time for Magnus to slice the scalpel into the flesh of his chest.
(Well thennn......Comments anyone?)
