Forbidden Love - Malec Dystopian AU

I think I like him

So, another probably cringy chapter is coming up.

Disclaimer: I'm going to stop doing disclaimers.

Pov: Alec

All the other members of the demon council were already on the stage, dressed in their finest clothes. The Lower city Populace were milling about behind the line of Elite arranged in front of the stage.

Jace.

He had turned around when the portal closed. His eyes were full of shock. I couldn't blame him.

Pov: Magnus

I didn't realise there were going to be so many people. Emo was a hard look to keep up. It was tiring. Add that to the fact that I hadn't slept in two nights and the fact that Alec was about to die.

I was surprised I hadn't dropped dead from exhaustion or stress.

Warp had stepped forward to address the crowd as Alec was chained onto the stage, forced into a crouching position, his head on a wooden block. I looked towards Warp. They knew about Alec and I. Surely, they had a plan.

"And now for the reason you are all gathered here today: An execution. The execution of Alexander Lightwood."

Four of the Elite spun around, their eyes bright with fear. Alec's friends.

"Any last words?"

My father stepped forwards holding a large axe.

Alec turned his head towards me.

"Aku Cintu Kamu, Magnus Bane."

My eyes snapped up. My father had stumbled away from Alec, the axe falling from his grasp, as if he had been shot.

"I like him." Warp whispered before clapping their hands together loudly. The crowd fell silent as purple sparks flew from Warp's hands and onto Alec's chains. The manacles fell away from his hands and feet. Warp nodded, and I rushed forward to gather his trembling body onto my lap. This had been more traumatic for him than I thought. I could sense my father's disapproving glare on the back of my neck.

I didn't care.

I realised after writing this that most of these chapters are going to be quite short.

Just a warning.

And if it isn't already obvious to you, Warp's the OC/ self insert I mentioned right at the start.
