Recap:
Once Camille finished what she was saying I quickly pull away from her. My eyes swell up in tears and I slowly start backing up.
"Please tell me I'm not to late."
"I can't say that if it's not true Mangus." She says grinning.
I wipe my tears with my hand and turn around making a portal just to see if I can make it. Once the yellow portal appears I step through find my self in New York.
I look around and see the institute. My mouth opens and my eyes go wide as the building in front of me is up in flames.
I look around and see no body and all I hear are screams of agony. Not being able to do anything I walk backwards slowly as I watch the building fall to the ground.
I make a portal back to India and look at the building one more time before leaving completely.
The only thing Mangus didn't know was that Alexander was alive.
*Alec's POV - Demon Attack - Flashback*
I lay on the floor as a demon surrounds me. I watch as multiple Vampires come over to me and smile.
"Why are you here?"
"Because we were ordered to attack."
"By who?"
"Magnus Bane." A vampire says. She walks over to me and bends down and starts messing with my hair.
"You're going to watch your entire family die because soon this building will go up in flames. All this blood is on your warlocks hands. Just remember, he caused this fire. He wanted you and your family dead." She says smiling and walking off. The next thing I know I smell smoke and quickly stand up running out of the building as flames follow me.
I make it outside but fall to the ground because of all the smoke a breathed in. I look to the side and see Mangus starring at the building and then see him walk into a portal.
"You'll pay for this Magnus. You'll pay." I whisper to myself. I look back at the burning building and cry not knowing who is alive or dead, knowing my boyfriend caused it.
Today (7 years later):
"Max come on!" I yell upstairs. I see Max slowly walk out of his room and stop at the top of the stairs.
"Max come on. We're going to be late."
"I don't want to go."
"Why not?"
"Because I don't want to go on my first mission tomorrow. This party is stupid. It just shows how I'm growing up."
"And why is that a bad thing?"
"Because I don't wanna die.....like how dad did." Max says softly. I look at him with soft eyes and put my arms out towards him. He slowly walks down the stairs and once we reaches me he grabs my hand.
I sit on the bottom step and so does he leaning into my side.
"Max. You're dad died protecting the mundanes and he died protecting your uncle, aunt, cousins and even me. He even died by protecting you.
Being a shadowhunter is dangerous but think of it as a way of, helping others. Your dad is a hero because of what he did. He'll always be remembered."
"I miss him though."
"I do too."
"Was he good at being a shadowhunter?"
"Yes he was. He saved me multiple times when more demons attacked than we expected."
"Did you ever save him?"
"Of course. We were married. We had to protect each other. Now how about we fix that bow tie and get going okay? Your aunt wants to see you."
"Is she cooking tonight?"
"No." I say laughing, "she's never allowed in the kitchen." I say making Max laugh. I stand up and grab his hand and we both walk out of the apartment, heading to the institute.
