Love, Trust, And Magic Dust

Chapter 3

Alec's POV

This morning I woke up to the sun beating down on my face. Which was quite comforting to be honest. But something  kept ringing in my ears. I tried blocking it out but it got louder. Finally I said screw it and got up and out the door. Magnus was already out and in front of the house.

"Magnus, what's..." I cut myself off on acount of, I remember that sound. The royal courtis coming. My heart began to thump, and my hands began to sweat.

"It's the royal court, but they never come here for just anything. Do you think you know what it could be?" He asked squinting his eyes, crossing his arms, and looking at me. I shook my head and tried to play it cool. "Come on lets go see what they want." I nodded but inside I felt like dying. We walked all the way down and watched along side the crowd. As I looked closer I realized it was just the guards. I breathed a sigh of relief.

"We are here on acount of the Queen!" I listened carfully. "The Prince has run away," Gasps everywhere. "The last time he was spotted was at his wedding rehursal!"

"Probably got cold feet and ran for the hills." Magnus said chuckling. I smiled at his humor.

"If you happen to find him we will be willing to pay a generous reward! 10,000 to be exact!" I think most of these people fainted. "His name is Alexzander Lightwood! If any of you find him, You will get that reward. You have 3 days." And with that, they were off. I think I almost fainted. Magnus turned to me and said..

"I don't really care about the reward." My eyebrows furrowed.

"Really?" I asked as we started walking back. He nodded.

"I feel sorry for the guy. But I also comend him. I'm sorry he has to live up there but I comend him for leaving. Not all of us have those type of guts. Alec probably hated it there." He was right. I did hate it there.

"Well he is being forced into marriage, so I guess he ran away cause of that." I said as we entered our house. Wait, what? No! His house. Yeah, his house! As I sat on the couch Magnus followed. "What do want to do?" I asked and he though for a moment, then smiled. "What, what are you thinking?"  

"Dance with me." Is all he said then snapped his fingers and music started to play. I shook my head as he got up and held out his hand.

"Magnus I can't dance."

"I can teach you."

"Magnus no-" I got cut off as he pulled me up.

"It's not like it's the Walce." I nodded and he began to teach me the moves. But I stepped on his feet the entire time. Finally I pulled away with on hand on my head looking down.

"Magnus, I'm sorry, it's no use." But just as I went to pull my hand away he pulled me back.

"I'm not giving up on you." That warmed my heart and made me smile. We began to move slowly. Step by step. Still watching my feet. He put his fingers under my chin and lifted my chin up and made me look into his beautiful brown eyes. I smiled and focused on him. Only him. And before I knew it, I was dancing. He pushed me out and spin me back into his arms again, and we spun together. We moved beautifully. I faced back around and layed my head on his shoulder.

"Now you're, beside me. And look how far we've come," He sang in my ear and honestly he was really good at it. I smiled and pulled him closer if that were possible. Right then and there I forgot all about staying away and trying not to fall in love. "So far we are, so close." Then he began to spin me around and we dance all around the room. It felt literally like magic. I hadn't noticed at first but we were dancing on a blue cloud in the middle of the room. And each time we moved it got a little higher. It felt like I was back in the castle only this time, instead of a princess, it's another prince. I bent Magnus over backwards and he looked just like and angel, spinning. When he came back up our faces were so close. We started floating down and once our feet touched the floor, we both kept slowly spinning then started full out dancing again.
