A/N: Lol the picture took longer to make than the chapter and it looks horrible. 🤣

Luke's POV

"So you mean to tell me that Alec is in trouble?"

"That's the simple version, yeah," Maia said. Then she sighed. "But it's a lot more complicated than that. For starters, Alec was really weak when he was first brought back so Magnus had to take care of him, and then Jonathan showed up and threatened to kill him again if Magnus didn't come with him, so obviously, Magnus went with Jonathan. Later that day, Jace showed up at Magnus's apartment and saw that Alec was still alive and then Jonathan showed up again just to be a bitch and he wanted to have a 'private conversation' with Alec. By the time the back-up arrived, Jonathan and Magnus were gone. Then..."

"How long is this story?" Luke asked. 

"Long enough." She continued. "Everyone found out Alec was still alive, blah blah blah, then Jace, Isabelle, and Alec went to go save Magnus but Jonathan had injected him with one of Valentine's potions and now he's evil. So then Clary, Simon, and I went with a few other shadowhunters to go save them, which is where I've been all morning, but when we got there Alec said he couldn't leave because Magnus had drawn a loyalty rune on him. And then we left. Without Alec. And Jace hates us all now and..."

Luke's cell phone went off. "Give me a second," He said, standing up from the booth he had been sitting at with Maia. "Hello?"

"Luke, listen I need you to come to the warehouse at the end of Madison Avenue. Come quick. Bring Maia and Simon if you can. And be ready to fight." Clary hung up before Luke could say anything.

"Who was it?"

"Clary. Come on, we're going to the old warehouse on Madison Avenue." 

Alec's POV

Jace had told him to take Magnus and run. To go find Clary. But he refused. 

"I'm not letting you fight him on your own, Jace."

"I won't. Izzy's here too."

Alec rolled his eyes. Magnus coughed. 

"Hang in there, Magnus." He whispered to his boyfriend. "Don't you dare die on me."

The door burst open, sunlight flooding into the room to reveal Luke, Clary, and Maia standing there. 

"Alec, take Magnus and get out of here!" Clary yelled to him. Alec nodded. Magnus's face was getting paler and paler by the second, and he wasn't going to lose him. He picked up the warlock bridal style and ran toward the door, the sounds of swords clashing behind him as Isabelle and Jace fought against several Circle members. 

"Thank you," He told Clary before he ran outside. Magnus sighed, his eyes starting to flutter. 

"Stay awake, Magnus, come on stay with me," Alec said as he ran towards the Institute. It wasn't far from here, maybe a twenty-minute walk. But since he was running, they should get there sooner. 

"Hey!" Someone shouted. Alec turned to face the three Circle members who stood with their blades hanging by their sides. 

Alec didn't have any weapons. Not the smartest thing he's ever done, running out of there without his blade. He had no idea where his bow was. Magnus had taken it before he drew the loyalty rune. He laid Magnus on the ground, propping him up against a building. The Circle members ran at him, blades raised. 

Alec waited. He didn't move. Once they were close enough, he ran to them. He kicked out with his left foot, hitting one of them in the stomach. He punched another in the face. The third he kicked so hard somewhere no boy wanted to be kicked that he flew backward, his head slamming against the pavement. Alec almost felt sorry for the guy. The other two surrounded him, one on each side. One of them swung their blade, leaving a deep cut in his side. He ignored it, kicking out again. His foot connected with her face and a cracking sound was heard followed by a scream. She dropped her blade. Alec picked it up, stabbing it through her chest.
