Alec and Max Lightwood are taken by Sebastian. Alec helps Max escape after only six months of being with Sebastian and his torture, while Alec stayed behind so his baby brother could escape. Alec endures much more pain, and torture than Max ever would and when Max leaves Sebastian takes it to the next level. A year and six months after Max escapes Alec is found by Hailey (one of the oldest warlock's their is, my own character) Hailey helps Alec get back on track but it's a long difficult process that takes months. What happens when everyone else is still looking for him while he is being helped? And what happens when Hailey brings Jace in and Alec isn't ready? All rights to Cassandra Clare for the characters, unless I made them up.
