Re: Fan Rp - MAlec - THE DEATH OF CLARY! (c) Cassandra Clare

[Nyako-Chan]

Isabelle had nearly stopped fighting with Jace when she heard Valentine's voice, calling them to hurry it up. Isabelle had to steel herself when Jace attacked twice as hard, twice as fast. Before, they'd been trading blows, but now, she was completely on defensive. She almost stopped again when she saw Alec being stolen away by Sebastian. "Get him, Magnus!" she called to him, trying to snap him out of his state of shock.

The other Lightwood had been caught off guard and left to almost stare at Valentine when he showed up. He was running the entire thing, just as they had expected. Alec should have reacted when he heard their cue, but he was stopped when Sebastian held him tightly, wrapping him close to his body. Alec could hardly struggle, as he was held around the middle, and his sword arm held fast by Sebastian's impossible strength. He could feel the bones underneath his grip cracking in protest. If he squeezed much harder, he'd have a broken wrist.

[RippedNose]

Magnus shook himself out of his shock when he heard Isabelle's voice and sprang foreward, ready to cast any number of spells on Sebastian, but of course that had been thought of. The way he backed up, holding Alec in front of him. It was almost like a shield. He couldn't hit him with anything without hitting Alec, and he wouldn't risk it. "Let him go!" he growled in anger, knowing it wouldn't make him, but it was the only thing he felt he could do at this point. He was panicking inside now. How did he get Alec away without hurting him? Sebastian was inhumanly strong, so if something hurt him, it would hurt Alec a lot more. "Isabelle! Help me goddamnit!!" he yelled, one hand grabbing his hair desperately. He always knew what to do, but now, he had nothing.

[Nyako-Chan]

"Busy here," Isabelle shouted back, though she was just as frustrated as Magnus because she couldn't do anything to save Alec, even if she was free at the moment. Anything they could try might hurt Alec too. Jace was keeping her effectively busy as he assaulted her furiously with the sword. She was doing all she could just to keep the sword in place and keep it from cutting her open. "Alec!" she cried out furstratedly, trying to shove back Jace.

"Magnus! Magnus!" Alec called, trying to pull away, knowing it was futile no matter what. There was no possible escape to get away from Sebastian unless he were dead, and he couldn't die now. At least they weren't attacking him anymore. Magnus would have to help Isabelle too, soon.

[RippedNose]

Magnus panicked more and more as Sebastian moved back towards the darkness and whatever was back there. Probably a giant horde of demons waiting to be sicked on them. He growled at Isabelle's answering shout, sending a ball of fire at Jace, not bothering to see if it hit before turning back to his boyfriend. "Alec!" he called back, darting back and forth, trying to get even some sort of opening on Sebastian, but of course the Shadowhunter was faster and turned Alec towards him each time.

Sebastian laughed slightly as he turned this way and that, enjoying the fact that he could torment all three of them at the same time. It was rather amusing. "Say goodbye and get a good look, 'cause that's the last you're ever seeing of your precious warlock" he said softly in Alec's ear, followed by another laugh, pulling Alec out of sight.

[Nyako-Chan]

Isabelle hadn't expected a fireball to rush by her and hit Jace, which he hadn't expected either, it appeared. Jace's left side was charred from the heat of the fire, he dropped to the ground fast enough to put the fire of his clothes out. He could hardly stand with third degree burns covering most of him now. Isabelle took her chance to take on the offensive. No doubt this would slow him down considerably, unless he suddenly had regenerating powers to make all the dead skin come back to life. Isabelle speared him while he was too injured to move, and turned just in time to see Alec disappearing with Sebastian. With two Shadowhunters down, and one missing, they were left with a devastated warlock and an exhausted remaining Shadowhunter. "Magnus," she called to the warlock, "what do we do now?"

[RippedNose]

Magnus froze in place, not sure what to do now. He heard the unmistakable sound of Isabelle finishing up her battle before speaking to him. He didn't even turn to look at him before he clenched his fists, making a rather irrational decision. "I'm going after him" he replied, taking steady steps towards god knows what. He knew it was a bad idea, but he wasn't just going to up and leave Alec here. He couldn't. He got as far as the entranceway to another passage in the caves before he was forced to stop. There was a protection rune on the entrance. Of course. He let out a frustrated half-scream before turning back to Isabelle. "I guess... We go... Home?" he suggested, looking slightly pained. He couldn't leave Alec here. But he couldn't just sit around here doing nothing. The realization hadn't even fully set in yet. He was more numb than anything.

[Nyako-Chan]

Isabelle took a couple steps after Magnus after she made sure Jace was dead. He didn't move, and his eyes had glazed over with what could only be a veil of death covering him. She heard the warlock let out a cry, and she hefted the lead weight of the sword, ready to fight if she had to again. What had Magnus seen? She walked up to him so see the protection rune. She left out a soft 'oh' and looked down. How were they going to get her brother? "Home? What do we do then? We just rest and let them do whatever they want to Alec? Can't we go after them right now?" Sebastian and Valentine was going to pay dearly for ripping apart their family. First he turned Jace and Clary against them, leaving them to kill them, and now they had taken Alec.

[RippedNose]

Magnus shot a glare at Isabelle. She just had to make it sound like they were abandoning him didn't she. "No, we're going to go home, regroup, come up with a plan, and bust him out of there asap" he snapped, crossing his arms. He knew he had only rephrased it to make it sound less. . . harsh, but it was the same thing in reality. "Unless you have a better plan. Like, some way to get through there" he gestured towards the rune. Alec was gone. They were probably already doing god knows what kind of experiments on him. And now they were abandoning him. It was tearing the warlock apart inside. He tried to kee his calm composure but he was sure Isabelle could see through it.

[Nyako-Chan]

Isabelle brushed a stray hair away from her face. "No, I don't have a better plan," she admitted, "but I do have questions and or corrections to yours. Who are we going to regroup with? Our parents? Not likely. I mean, yeah, they'd help, but they'd want to know why Alec was taken captive by them." Who else did they have? They had Simon, but Izzy always put him in too much danger, and he might hate them now that Clary was dead. Never mind Jace being dead too, Simon would be upset that Clary was gone. "Well, whatever, let's just get home and get our bearings together." She went to retrieve the whip from Clary's hand, and to shut her unblinking eyes from the world. Isabelle did the same thing with Jace. Taking his sword and shutting his eyes. "We go via portal, right?" she asked, sucking in a breath so she didn't cry. She wasn't sad, not really. She was frustrated. Frustrated that they had been pinning against their own family, forced to kill them for their own lives, and then they lost Alec because he had been used as a shield against them. Could things possibly get worse?

[RippedNose]

Magnus sighed, shaking his head. He just didn't even know what to do. He was more likely to do something rash and stupid than useful at this point. "Yeah, whatever" he muttered, looking around at the two bodies in the room as Isabelle took their weapons and closed their eyes. "Unless you feel like walking back from wherever the hell we are" he replied, gathering his magic. He was tired. He had used alot of his magic by now, opening four portals and then fighting. And he would have to heal some things, like his back, and a few of the injuries Isabelle was sure to have. He opened the portal and stepped through, expecting the middle Lightwood child to follow him, collapsing onto his couch and staring at the ground, allowing everything to sink in.

[Nyako-Chan]

Before following Magnus to his portal, Isabelle whispered what the two had deserved with the Shadowhunter blood in their veins. The Hail and Farewell. She stepped through, walking into Magnus' place, which she hadn't quite expected. She hadn't thought about where they'd be resting or planning, but she supposed she had automatically assumed the Institute. Everything was messy, and she was resisting the urge to clean. She dropped the swords and whip on the ground before falling into a chair in this living. Taking a deep breath, she asked carefully to the weary Magnus. He looked too tired to get mad and hurt her at this point. "So, what do you think of Alec and this....situation now?" she asked him, since the only thing she'd heard was Magnus yelling at Alec from her room about why he shouldn't have been allowed to go after Clary. She hadn't gotten to hear Magnus' thoughts on Alec being pregnant yet, other than the fact that he didn't want him anywhere near Valentine.

[RippedNose]

Magnus didn't even look up when Isabelle walked in. It was definitely all sinking in. He drew his feet up onto the couch in front of him and wrapped his arms around his long legs, resting his forehead on his knees. He didn't care that he was probably getting his couch filthy from his boots. He couldn't care less right now. Alec was off locked up somewhere while Valentine did god knows what to their unborn child, and Alec was withstanding all kinda of torture and it was all his fault because he couldn't stop Sebastian. He could feel stinging in his eyes but he denied it. He hadn't cried in 750 years. He wasn't going to start now. Even if it was over Alec. As soon as Isabelle asked the question he went over the edge, letting out a slightly choked sob. He didn't even know what to think about it all.

[Nyako-Chan]

Isabelle jumped when she heard the last thing she thought Magnus could ever do. She didn't even know he could cry! Sure, he was half human, but the chances of him ever crying had been impossible to her and probably many other people. "Hey, hey," she said, "don't worry, Magnus! We'll get Alec back. We'll get him back and it'll be awesome and you guy'll have your kid and then you'll probably have to use condoms from now on because now we know you can knock him up because you're a warlock." She was trying everything she could think of that might cheer him up. "We'll get him back because you're a warlock and you know how to track, and we'll go after him possibly with the help of my parents after possibly having to tell them the situation." She thought about that, Alec might not like it, but he needed them to rescue him.

[RippedNose]

Magnus shook his head against his knees when he heard Isabelle's little spiel, not even able to laugh at how strange it was in his state. He reached his hands up to grab his hair, pulling lightly in frustration. "But it's my fault!" he bit out, trying to keep his voice from sounding too thick through the tears, "And because of that the twisted fucks are probably torturing the shit out of him" he bit his lip to try to keep more sobs from escaping, feeling incredibly pathetic. Only pain and fear for Alec could get him to cry like this after 750 years. He knew in the back of his head that he was ruining his makeup, but he couldn't care less at the moment.

[Nyako-Chan]

"No, don't say that," Isabelle said, moving from the chair to the couch beside the warlock and patting his back. "Neither of us can stop Sebastian, except maybe Jace. But it'd take all of us and more to beat him, and it can't be your fault for not saving Alec. They used him as a shield, we couldn't have helped him no matter what." They couldn't have gone after him, or attacked, without maybe getting Alec hurt. "They might not be torturing him because they need him alive and healthy to carry the kid." There was no guarantee for either side of that, but Isabelle was willing to bet they probably weren't torturing him that much.

[RippedNose]

Magnus tensed slightly when he felt a hand on his back, and he curled up into his ball tighter, pulling on his hair more. He just shook his head again, completely in denial. He was too shocked to think things through properly. He had gone through so much in the last few hours he didn't even know what to do. His mind was still trying to catch up. "Well Valentine isn't exactly the picture of an ideal father, so who knows" he muttered, wiping his eyes on his knees, which didn't really work too well since they were clad in leather. He knew sitting around crying wasn't helping anything, but he couldn't get himself to stop. He figured it was since he hadn't done it in so long.

[Nyako-Chan]

"Yeah, we know he needs parental lessons, but still, they'd probably just leave him be. Besides, he's still got six months or so on him, and we'll definitely rescue him way before that. We'll probably have him back before the end of the week even." They wouldn't wait that long to save her brother. She wouldn't wait over a week to get him. They'd get him in the next three days, possibly. "It might not be easy, and we'll probably most definitely need help with this, but as long as the Clave doesn't find out either, he'll be fine. I doubt mom and dad would let that be known to the Clave since they know what could happen to Alec and your kid if they did say." Was that really the best thing to say after she had just tried to reassure him? She wasn't sure.

[RippedNose]

"A week? Goddamnit I want to get him now! I would if I wasn't about to pass out from exaustion" Magnus groaned, gripping his hair harder as he let out another short round of sobs. He bit his lip at the comment about the Clave. Once he got Alec back, nobody was getting their hands on his child. Ever. He had a feeling that many people would want their hands on it. A warlock mixed with a Shadowhunter? What a mixture that would come out as. He really just wished he would wake up right now and find that it was all a nightmare, and Alec was actually lying in his bed curled up with him, but the pain in his back from Sebastian's sword was all too real.

[Nyako-Chan]

"I said before the end of the week," Isabelle corrected, "just rest up, I can heal you the Mundie way if you don't have magic to spare on healing your back, also." Magnus must have some first aid kit or something in case he ran out of magic one day and couldn't heal himself or someone else. Everyone should have a first aid kit somewhere. The Lightwoods had five in the Institute, and a bunch more in the actual infirmary. "You can't do anything if you don't rest and heal right now. I'll call my mom and dad and maybe you can talk to them if they ask for you. I'll explain the situation if you're all right with that."

[RippedNose]

Magnus moved his head at that, letting go of his hair and looking up, not caring how ridiculous he must look with his makeup running, black smears under his eyes and tear tracks that he rubbed away with his sleeve. "I can manage that. . . I've never healed myself the mundie way and I don't plan to start now" he said, sighing. "But thanks for the offer. Have anything major that your runes won't heal?" he asked, letting his legs fall to the ground and he got to his feet, wanting nothing more than to crawl into a hole and die. But he would have to wait until after he healed himself and showered. Then he could.

[Nyako-Chan]

Isabelle checked herself over when he asked, and other than a couple scrapes and bruises that she could live with, she was fine. Clary hadn't touched her at all when they fought -no surprise there- and Jace had only nicked her a couple times. Her wrist ached from the constant, brutal pounding it had received trying to defend from Jace's relentless assault. Jace and Clary were gone, but they wouldn't die in vain. Isabelle was going to get her brother back, and kill Sebastian and Valentine. "I'm good, thanks. I'll call them up now," she said. She got her phone out and started dialing, hoping they would pick up.

[RippedNose]

Magnus nodded and stumbled off to his bathroom, ignoring the pitifully meowing dwarf cat. The feline could probably tell he was upset. He pulled off his bloodstained and cut up shirt, muttering about it being ruined before tossing it to the floor and looking at his back in the mirror. It wasn't too bad. He craned his arm to reach the angle easier, and let the healing warmth spread through his back as skin repaired itself. He stripped off his pants, boots, and socks and stepped into the shower, hoping he wouldn't drown. He was too tired to save himself. Showering the blood and makeup off, and the glitter and gel out of his hair before stepping out and toweling off, poofing himself a pair of pajama bottoms from the back of his closet. He rarely wore PJs. Pulling on a loose shirt to go with it he left the room, leaning on the wall to see what state of conversation Isabelle was in. He had been gone less than ten minutes.

[Nyako-Chan]

She had to find a way to break it to them carefully, because while they weren't quite the old fashioned Shadowhunters who didn't accept gays, they'd still be against their children being of such. They would tsk sometimes when a gay Shadowhunter might rarely be mentioned, but other than that, they weren't homophobic. Isabelle had so been hoping to be there for her brother when he came out, but now she was the one who did it for him. She also had to be the one to break his pregnancy secret twice now. She wasn't very good at keeping secrets recently. They picked up on the last ring. "Heeeey, mom," she began slowly, pacing the room.

"Hello, Isabelle," Maryse greeted tiredly. "Is everything all right?" She could hear her dad in the back asking if everything was all right as well.

"Well, yes, and no," she muttered, trying to sound chipper and like everything could be resolved in a blink. "You see, things are fine with me, but ah, you see, it's Alec..and Jace....and Clary."

Her mom took on a worried tone, Isabelle could almost feel the tension through the phone now. "What happened? Demon attack? Valentine?"

Isabelle gave off a slight laugh, a weary, exhausted laugh. "Valentine. You see, he possessed Jace and Clary and we had to kill them, but uh, we're okay over here," her voice hitched. She didn't to talk about her family's deaths like it was nothing. "But Alec got kidnapped," she finished quietly. She looked up to Magnus stepping out of the shower. "Um....talk to Magnus, for a sec."

[RippedNose]

Magnus got the gist of the conversation and sighed when Isabelle told them about Alec being abducted. He held his hand out to take the phone, putting it to his ear. "Hello" he greeted, not bothering to hide the weariness in his voice. "I guess I get to have the joy of dropping this bombshell on you" he took a deep breath, deciding to break it to them as gently as possible. He didn't want them to think negatively about it. Alec would be crushed. "You see, the reason Alec was taken hostage is because" he took another breath, "Alec is. . . pregnant. With. . . my child" his explaination was rather broken up, but he got the message across. He held his breath waiting for the response to that.

[Nyako-Chan]

Maryse wasn't sure she heard right. Her husband had been pressing his ear up to the phone to hear too. He had froze in place, which lead her to believe they had both just heard the same thing. "Excuse me?" she asked, "Did I hear that right? My son is not gay, thank you very much." Robert had been standing by, eyes staring at the phone like the warlock would appear from it and repeat the message again. "Why would my son go out with a downworlder, let alone have sex with one?" She was in denial, she'd admit. Her husband stood by her side shaking his head in dismay. "You must have enchanted him or something, that's it. You're a downworlder. Downworlders lie."
