The room had gone deathly silent. Alec felt the colour drain from his face, he exhaled a slow breathe he didn't even know he was holding. "W-what? Did i say something...wrong?" Victoria stuttered.
Magnus's mouth was a thin, bloodless line. "No, Victoria. Thank you for letting us know."
Clary took Victoria from the room, just as Alec lost his temper. He slammed his fist down on the table, his face reddening, then draining from colour as he sank to his knees. Magnus watching helplessly, not sure of what to do or say.
"Why..." He cried. "Why didn't I him when I had the chance..?!"
"Alec..." Isabelle began to come forward.
"No, Iz! This is not okay!" He yelled.
Magnus came behind akec and circled his arms around his boyfriends waist. "Babe..." At his touch Alec felt his body somewhat relax.
"Brother Zachariah, how long will this ritual on Jace take?." Alec's voice was clipped and agonizing.
'Well inputs in the process now so...possibly a few hours.,,but Alexander I do not advise we confront johnathan-' alas before the silent brother could finish Alec had pried Magnus's arms from his sides and stormed out of the room, tightening his belt.
"Alec!" Isabelle called after him. "Alec!"
Alec turn on his heel to face her breathing heavily, feeling blood list coursing through his veins, "Isabelle what-"
"Your not going alone!" She blurted out, her hands were trembling furiously at her sides, biting at her bottom lip. "I'm going with you, no matter who much you protest. I'm fighting by your side, brother."
"Ahem, do not forget moi." Magnus leaned over over Izzy's shoulder, cat eyes blazing giddily. "Can't let my poor defenceless husband fight bad guys all on his lonesome? What kind of fabulous, handsome finaceé would that make me?"
Alec allowe a quicksilver smile, them his expression formed stonily once again in the blink of an eye. "As long as you two can keep us with me slaying that poor bastards ass."

Jace had a piece of cloth shredded upon his sword from a previous battle with the spawn of hell, soaked with his blood; this allowed Magnus to locate his whereabouts with a tracking spell. The trudged over the green hill of Idris (which Magnus teleported them to ages ago) and their feet ached of long treacherous walking.
"How much longer mags?" Alec called out over his shoulder to the stumbling warlock. "3 kilometres to the west then we'll be atop him for sure." He panted, his hands on his knees struggling to catch a breathe, Iz easily hogging ahead of him.
Alec sprinted back an kneeled before his fiancée, Magnus looked confused. "Come on. Onto my back I'll carry you."
"Alexander do not be ridiculous! You can't possibly lift me!" Magnus argued.
"Wanna bet..." Alec smirked hoisting Magnus up upon his back; a surprised cry escaping him, Alec grasped his legs and began to run, easily passing Iz in under a minute. Magnus yelping, clumsily clasped his arms around the boys shoulders. "What do you think of me now Hun Magnus?" He beamed.
Magnus exhaled a laugh and placed his face into the crook of Alec's neck, breathing lightly against it. Iz called out from behind them. "Eh! The clave has been notified their on their way shortly behind us boys! Prepare for a mighty ambush in Sebastian's ass!"
Alec whooped loudly back at her then laughed. Magnus made a sharp inhale and flew from Alec's shoulders bringing his lover down with him as he feel to the ground.
"Mags-" a thin hand covered his mouth. Magnus looked back at him with a cold concentration. "Their are guards surrounding the kilometre. Were going to have to avoid them or shoot them down understand?" Alec nodded, izzy crawling into the grass besides them.
"Let's go kick some demon butt." She smiled brightly.
Alec's arrows flew with great precision into chests, throats and backs, all hitting fatal points. Izzy's daggers flew through the air slicing through dozens of demons at a time. Their gray skin bubbling with blackish blood and ichor. Their howls like sirens as Magnus scorched them with his flaming finger tips.
They reached in innards of the snaking cave at last not an enemy in sight. Isabelle slumped against the rocky wall breathing rapidly, she clutched at her leg, her face paling, she slid to the floor.
"Iz!" Alec cried rushing to his sisters and, as she yanked something long and white from her leg. With out a moments hesitation he drew up the fabric around her ankle drawing on a irataze with swift perfection, Magnus looking concerned from behind. He sat back and waited for the wound to seal.
"I'm only...slowing you guys down.....go...on without... Me" she said quite breathlessly. Alec refused but she screeched at him to go, and with much hurt he left his sisters side and continued on through the twisting caverns.
They stood on a high ledge above a large circular room, ratty curtains still hanging from a poorly made stage. This was where the endarkened shadowhunter making had taken place. In the centre he stood as if in Glory. He had never looked so much like valentine. Sebastian.
He was dressed I. Regular shadow hunting gear that brought out the severity of his white skin and hair. Black, fathomless eyes sitting coldly in his skull. He was speaking to a man whom was concealed by shadowing calling across the room. This anonymous man seemed to be attaching some life form to a stake, it expelling muffled cries fighting against the mans motives.
"Hurry and fasten our peace offering! I assure you those children are going to show themselves any moment. Dim wits. It took them so long to realize he was gone." Sebastian sneered icily.
Alec didn't like the look of things not one bit, he slid onto his stomach peering over the edge to get a better look at things, Magnus coming along besides him. He was still fretting about izzy but he was positive she could manage.
The binding on the things mouth and it let out a cry. Alec felt he stomach twist. "STOP DADDY IT HURTS! DADDY!" He felt as if he could throw up of the ledge right then and their. He knew only one person who belonged to that voice. Max.
"Robert! Silence the brat would you!" Sebastian snapped clearly annoyed with this little out burst.
"Certainly..." He grumbled gruffly knocking something across the back of the little boys head rendering his to go slack against the stake. Alec felt his face boiling with anger. "That bastard...!" Alec cried out.
Sebastian's head snapped around. Crap. He heard him. Alec stooping, Magnus slowly coming to rise beside him. "Look who it is my pitiful son and that disgusting fag.." Robert exclaimed, Sebastian snickering at him.
Before Magnus could stop him, Alec drew his knife from his belt. And he lunged down from above with a battle cry at his father.
