Brooklyn Revival (completed)

Chapter 41- Break-in

The men walked further into their room and looked at the walls with horror before they looked around to see the bedroom empty. No one else in sight. Magnus instantly going to Alec's side and grasping his arm for protection as they looked around. The windows all shut making Alec and Magnus' hairs on the back of their neck stick up. Reaching for his phone, Alec dialled a number and Magnus looked to see it was the police.

"Hello, my name is Alec Lightwood. I live at 305 E 72nd St Apartment 2BN. I think someone has broken in... Well, I don't think anything is taken but... well they have written on my walls in red paint and my boyfriend woke up from a nap with a cut on his leg but he didn't have it before he went to sleep... Right... Okay... 10 minutes? Okay, that's fine. Thank you"

Magnus listened to the one-sided conversation before looking at his leg again and now worried someone had broken in and hurt him while he slept but had no idea how they would have gotten in, or who would do such a thing to him. Of course, the only two people that he would have thought about were now dead.

"Alec... do you think they are still here?" Magnus asked in a whisper as he looked around.

"I don't know, but listen to me. I want you to stay here for me, okay?" Alec said as he looked at Magnus who instantly shook his head.

"No... No, you can't leave me. Where are you going?" He panicked.

"I'm just going to check the apartment. It's okay. I'm not leaving you but I need to know you are safe, incase they are still here" Alec explained calmly but Magnus only felt more fear.

"Alec, please don't. What if they are and you get hurt? Please... Please just stay here with me until the police get here. Please..." Magnus pleaded. Alec pulled him close and held him, trying to calm him down.

"It's okay Magnus. I'll be back in a second. I promise" Alec smiled before he kissed Magnus's cheek and sat him on the bed. "Just wait here"

Magnus whimpered as he watched Alec leave. Looking back at the wall and feeling like he was in some sort of horror movie. That he had a crazy stalker or he was going mad himself. He swallowed hard and looked around the room as he thought about the women when he woke up. He was sure it had been a figment of his imagination but now he was terrified that it hadn't and that someone had been in his home.

Magnus sat there as the silence seemed to grow thicker around him. His ears strained for any sound that he could hear but nothing could be heard from within the apartment. That was until he heard a bang, a yelp and then a thud.

"Alec!" Magnus squealed as he jumped up and rushed out of the bedroom. He just noticed a figure disappear through the front door before it slammed and he saw Alec on the ground. "ALEC!"

Magnus rushed over and crouched next to him. Gently shaking him awake as he heard Alec groan and touch the back of his head. Magnus relieved that Alec wasn't too badly hurt or worse as he helped Alec sit up.

"W-What happened?" Alec asked as he got up and squeezed his eyes closed as the room spun a little before he got his bearings again.

"Oh, Alec... I don't know... you left me and then I heard you and then a thud and then I came out and someone was rushing out the door and.. and ... and oh Alec I'm so frightened" Magnus panicked out as he began to hyperventilate. His breathing coming his harsh fast pants as tears fell down his face.

"Hey, hey, hey... look at me. Deep, slow breaths okay?" Alec said as he cupped Magnus' face and started to breathe like he explained so Magnus would copy.

Magnus started to take deep breaths as he copied Alec, pleased when he started to calm down finally. That was until the door knocked and Magnus instantly jumped in fear and coward behind Alec.
