When two worlds collide

Chapter 8

Magnus' pov

"Hello, everyone! I'm glad you decided to show up. Mark my words, that was right thing to do!" were my first words to my fellow warlocks.

"As you saw yesterday, I'm your new High warlock and I want to make few things clear."

"First of all, we don't want war with Nephilims. We don't want war, at all. We want to make peace. We want to live next to them without killing, either sides." I looked seriously to them.

"And if that didn't make it clear, we do NOT take their runes as I have heard that some of you are doing."

"Just a thought doing that gives me cold shivers. How someone can do that?"

"I'm going to talk all the leaders in New York and hopefully, they want peace, too."

"Now you have to make a choice, will you stand by me or against me." I dare to them disagree with me.

"And if someone is considering being against me, just think what happened to Lorenzo yesterday. You don't want to see my bad side." Some of them faces went pale. I smiled internally.

"I don't think there's nothing wrong killing them or taking their runes," somebody said.

I felt how my anger grow but I didn't want to blast out. I wanted to seems good, calm leader who can handle difficult situations.

"You really think that? That there's nothing wrong killing them? Have you heard about conscience? Do you have that?" I looked hin furiously. I couldn't believe how someone could say that. "There's nothing wrong about killing? Where the hell have you been raised?"

"Yes, I think. I believe that the more powerful people should be leading and they should cut the weak people out. And taking runes just means that you have done that. The more you take, the more you should be proud of yourself. That just how the world works. Be stronger or get yourself killed."

I heard that somebody agreed with him. But I had lost my patience. A long ago.

I maybe should have try to understand his reasons why he believed that. Try to talk to him and tell my point of view and point out proofs for my theory. But instead of that I just said two words:

"Fight me."

I am pretty sure that my face looked scary. That I looked scarier than ever. Because no one has made me that angry in my long life. And that may explain why HE looked so scared. But I was just pleased. That was already a half win.

I throw a very powerful energy ball at him. The next thing I smelled was burnt. His hair was piked up and his clothes were black and falling to pieces.

I ran to him. I knocked him down and started to punch him.

"YOU ARE WRONG," I yelled at him. Punch. "LEANING TO NATURAL INSTINST TO KILL WEAKEST ONE IS NOT A POWER." Punch. "THE REAL POWER IS LEANING TO OTHER, TRUSTING OTHER." Punch. " YOU WON'T SURVIVE ALONE IN THIS WORLD. THAT WOULD BE THE DEATH TO YOU." Punch. "You have the power when, HEY!"

Someone took my hand and try to stop me to punch this guy. I blasted my magic out to this person and she fell on the ground. There were immediately two guys around her. I wondered how I didn't see them earlier.

"Where I was? Ah yeah, you have the power when", I was holding my fist up, ready to continue rage when someone said:

"Magnus, that's enough."

I felt how I slided to other side of the room.

Catarina kneeled in front of me. "What's wrong with you? Have you lost your damn mind?!"

I looked around and saw how everyone looked me like I'm a crazy person. They are scared of me what I would do to them. That's not the reaction I wanted.

Everyone left slowly, not dared to look at me. Eventually there were only me and Catarina left.

When I looked at her, she looked worried.

"Are you okay, Magnus?"

I couldn't speak so ashemed I was of what I had done. I shaked my head.

"That's what I thought. What happened? I thought that you are going to introduce yourself as a New High Warlock of Brooklyn."

"That's what I did or I suppose I should do. But then somebody said how was right to kill shadowhunters and took their runes, so I just snapped. I couldn't hold back anymore and ", my voice started to crack and eventually faded.

"Who was the girl who tried to stop me?" I asked.

"You didn't see? Oh Magnus, she was shadowhunter just like the two other boys," she said looking me pity look on her face.

I couldn't believe that. The only group, I had most to deal with. And now I have hurt one of them myself. How the hell I should solve this?  I put my head in my hands, hopeless.
