Magnus slowly opens his eyes, then remembering what happened, looks around frantically.
"Magnus, you're awake." Jerome says.
"Where are the kids?" He asks, setting up.
"I don't know." Jerome says, hanging his head. "I haven't seen them."
"Why are we even here?"
"I haven't seen anyone since we were brought here."
"Alexander is probably going crazy."
"Magnus we are going to get out of here." Jerome says as Magnus lays his head on his knees.

"Alec." Jace says while watching him pace the throne room. "You need to calm down."
"How the hell can I calm down jace? My entire family has been taken by some lunatic that is supposed to be my husbands father who we all thought was dead. So you tell me if there is any reason for me to calm down."
"I know how you feel."
Alex turns to look at jace and says, "How the hell do you know how I feel?"
"Ok. Maybe I don't know exactly how you feel but they are my family too. We are going to do everything possible to get them back."
Alec sighs then continues to pace the room.
**********
Your family is safe for now. If you want to see them again you will follow my instructions. You will be contacted again with further instructions.
Alec crumples up the paper and throws it in the trash can.
