When Hell Meets Heaven | Alec Lightwood + Magnus Bane

II

I should have gone to my hide out, should have stayed away but the rush I got from killing the Circle member was addicting.  They were only gonna cause more harm, why not help stop them?  And if it gives me a rush, so be it.  I was tracking them, it led me to a glamoured home.  I saw them kill warlocks and quickly started to attack, I get to a room were a Circle member fought Magnus.  

I saw the attractive shadowhunter on the other side of the room and at the same time the shadowhunter let an arrow fly and Magnus pushed out a ball of magic, I sped forward and snapped his neck with a loud crack.  We all looked at each other and the shadowhunter smirked, "Well done."  

I smiled at him while Magnus said, "More like medium rare."  I sped over to Alec, ready to go back out to fight some more when Magnus started walking towards us speaking.  "I'm Magnus.  I don't think we're been formally introduced." 

I watched the shadowhunter who smiled at us both.  "Alec, and you," They both had their eyes on me now, what I identified as interest shown in their eyes.  

"I'm Elliot," I told them both, unable to withhold a grin from my face, they seem to just have that affect on me.  All three of us stare at one another, almost seeming lost in each others presence.

"Oh, uh... we should really... you know, probably get..." Alec stammers and I finally knock myself out of it.

"Right, we should join the party," Magnus said and I grinned at them both.

"Finally, my type of party," I told them both with a cheeky grin before speeding out tot he fight.  When I get out I see that everyone was already beaten and I stopped with a huff.  "Well that's dull," I said just as Alec joins me, he looks at me with a glimmer I don't recognize in his eyes before going over to a female who looked remarkingly similar to him.  

Magnus had come out and was checking on other warlocks when the carrot called out to him, "Magnus."  He turns to her and he sets eyes on a young girl Carrot had with her. 

He goes over and hugs the young child, a warm feeling fills my chest I don't understand.  What the hell is happening to me, I think.  "Go join the others, my hear.  This is no place for a little girl, go," Magnus tells the child who nods before being led off.  I feel a sudden pain in my head causing me to hold back a yelp at the sudden pain, I look down to my hand and watch as the scales that briefly cover my body when shapeshifting flicker across it.  I have held this form too long.  I stumble out of the room and into a different one, not thinking anyone noticed.  I lean against a wall, my forehead pressed against the smooth surface.  I feel the scales flip on my body, wanting to go into my original form.  My eyes, that I closed subconciously fly open a bright yellow with black where my eye is usually white, as my body goes into it's real form.  I hear a gasp behind me and spin around to see Alec, starring at me with wide eyes.  

"What are you?" He asked me, stepping closer.  I keep my eyes on him, nervous for some reason about what he will think of me.  I know I must look awful, my eyes yellow and black with veins underneath and not to mention a new face.  

"A glorified science project, basically," I told him with a small smile as my eyes go back to normal and the veins go away.  He grins at me, stepping closer.

"Looks pretty badass."
