Hello readers!

I'm so sorry for the late update, but I discovered Torchwood.

The big surprise, the Inquisitor's plan, is here today!

I would be scared of I were you.

Alec POV

We run down the familiar streets of Alicante, and even though I'm out if breath, I can't help but ask questions.

"So, what's the big deal? What's going on?" I ask Aline. But she's too busy running to answer properly.

"Just. Come. See," she answers between breaths.

We reach the Hall of Accords, and I notice that my tux is gone and that I'm in my regular clothes, just like Magnus. Then, I look up and see at least a hundred Shadowhunters, and they are all starting at me and Magnus.

Somebody clears their throat, and I turn to see the Inquisitor with the Consul standing behind him. The Inquisitor is smiling gleefully, but the Consul looks unsure.

Suddenly, his smile drops. "Alexander Gideon Lightwood and Magnus Bane, please step forward."

People make a path for us, and we walk towards the podium slowly. We are given looks of pity and disgust as we walk hand in hand.

"Today, I am here to tell all of you the truth," the Inquisitor points at us. "The truth about them, and how they were in league with Jonathon Morgenstern."

I hear gasps from the audience. I expect one of my family members to step in, but I can't find them in the crowd.

"Let me show you my evidence!" the Inquisitor booms. "First, a letter the warlock wrote to Jonathon." He takes two pieces of paper and writes Projection runes on them. Their images shine onto the opposite wall.

Sure enough, there is a letter addressed to Sebastian, signed by Magnus. Next to it is a grocery list.

"The handwriting is identical!" the Inquisitor continues.

Magnus squeezes my hand. "Oh, please," he says, barely containing his anger. "You could've hired any warlock to copy my handwriting, you sleezeball."

But the Inquisitor ignores him. "Next!" he cries. "A picture taken by Jonathon himself of him and Alexander, while he was so called, torturing, him." He makes another quick projection, a what I see shocks me.

It is a picture of me and Sebastian, and we actually look happy. Sebastian is holding the camera, and he looks like he's laughing. I too am smiling, but there is something not quite right about the picture. It doesn't look real. It looks like paint.

"That looks like something Jocelyn would paint," Magnus whispers in my ear.

Oh. So he blackmailed Jocelyn. I think to myself.

But nobody around us appears to have found anything wrong. They are getting riled up, shouting horrible things at us and shaking their fists.

"Have you found Alexander Lightwood and Magnus Bane to be guilty?"

The crowd screams in return.

Then the Inquisitor smiles. His smile almost looks like Sebastian's. "Then I condemn Alexander to becoming a Forsaken. He will be striped of his Marks. You can take him away. And as for the warlock," He pauses, "Dispose of him."

"No," I whisper. Then it becomes a shout. "NO! DON'T KILL HIM! PLEASE!"

The crowd surges forward. There are jabs on me, trying to pull me away from Magnus. We are holding on to each other for dear life. He looks so scared, more scared then he's ever looked before.

"MAGS! I LOVE YOU!" I scream over the noise.

He nods at me. Then Magnus is pushed down under the crowd, and his hand lets go of mine. Suddenly, three Shadowhunters pull out seraph blades and start stabbing Magnus. He is screaming, and I can't do anything to help him.

Finally, the screams stop. I break away from the Shadowhunters and run through the crowd to Magnus.

His abdomen is covered in blood, and he is breathing, but barely. I prop him onto my lap, warm tears streaming down my face.

"I'm am so, so sorry Magnus," I whisper.

He takes a deep breath. "It's. . . okay. I know you couldn't do. . . anything. . . I love you. . . Alexander."

"I love you too. And I'll never forget you."

Magnus takes another breath. His last breath.

I finally don't care who sees me. After all those years of hiding, I don't care anymore. I scream until my throat is on fire. My sobs fill the room, because that is the only sound. Nobody is talking or shouting or trying to take me away.

So I just keep sobbing, because Magnus is gone.
