Malec Tales Series 1 Chapter six: Something There.

Alec Pov- Everything is so dark. Why is that? Last thing I remember was running into the woods. It was night time but the moon was bright enough to see where I was going. Why was it so dark now?

Why did I even go in the woods in the first place? Oh yeah, Magnus got mad at me for almost touching his Witchlight and threw fire at me, scaring me almost to death.

You need to wake up. You need to move before you get swept up in the war.

In the war? How would I get swept up in war? There's never been a threat big enough to make Nephilim go to war.

Yes there is. There's a war going on right now. You must open your eyes and see it. See the destruction your ancestors left in their wake.

My eyes felt heavy as led but I needed to know what the voice was talking about.

Slowly I opened my eyes expecting to see the bright blue skies of Idris. Instead, I saw a sky dark with clouds and Ash raining down from who knows where.

I sat up quickly looking around me in complete shock. We were in Idris, there was no doubt about it. I have seen enough maps of our lands to know it. The field around me was different however. There were shops and homes turned to rumble mixing with the ash.

"Where am I? This can't really be Alicante."

"You're injured" a soft familiar voice called from behind me. I turned around and a beautiful lady with light blue skin and pure white hair was standing there looking ahead, concerned.

"Catarina? What's going on? Where are we?"

She wasn't looking at me though, or talking to me. In fact, it was like I was completely invisible to her. She ran passed me to another man laying on the ground close by. I didn't even noticed he was there before.

She got to her knees pulling the man onto her lap, immediately making her hand glow in magic as she placed it on his stomach. There was blood soaking his shirt, getting larger every second.

The man had silver hair with eyes to match and couldn't have been any older than me. I know every Shadowhunter my age though and I have never seen him before.

"I... I came to warn you all of the Claves plan. Charlotte sent William and I to tell Magnus... but it seems we were too late," he wheezed, looking around at the ruins and ash.

Catarina nodded frowning. "Nephilim poured in from all sides. They set fires to every building in Alicente."

Alicente? Where is Alicente? This is the south border of Idris right? That's Alicante.

"What happened here?!" another familiar, panicked voice yelled from behind me. I turned around just as Magnus ran passed me, dressed in torn dirty pants and a black shirt. His face was free of any makeup and his hair was flat with no product in it.

He dropped to the ground next to Catarina and the man, grabbing his hand tightly and looking in his silver eyes. "Who did this to Alicente? How were they able to get passed the wards?"

The Nephilim boy tried to sit up but was too weak. He fell back and Magnus caught him before he could hit his head on the ground.
