Magnus groaned feeling his throat dry as a desert. He felt his whole body numb like a whole weight is crushing on him. He barely could move his arm or even twitch his fingers. Slowly he gathered his strength to open his eyes.

When he sees his own bedroom lighting he knew he was back at the house. He tried to move his head around to see if anyone is there but to his luck none but him.

He felt his body again and slowly his fingers gripped the sheets under him. He pulled them so he could rose from the bed. He placed his both leg on the floor feeling the cold surged towards his body.

He forced his body up and slowly dragged them towards the door. He pushed the door handle but it wasn't budge so he forced them to open. He bang and slapped the door to open, "Dad! Open the door! Open the FUCKING door right now!!" He screamed.

He ran towards the furniture in his room feeling his strength coming back to him. He dragged a chair from across the room and smacked them on to the door but only to break it in half. He returned with all the things he could get from his room before he got tired and slammed his body on to the door itself.

He felt his body sore and his arm paining from his action earlier but he didn't quit, he screamed again, "OPEN THIS DOOR OR YOU'LL BE SORRY!!" He ran over towards his window hoping he could jumped his way out but only to find that his father bolted it with screws and locked him like he's a prisoner but in his home.

He ran back towards the door and screamed one name that he could hope helped him right now. "Charles! Open the door please! PLEASE!" He screamed, pleading for him to open and it's only making him tired and falls on the ground holding his knees towards his chest. He banged on the door with his body continuously not giving up.

"Please. I need to see him. Please. I don't have much time. Please let me see him." He cries hiding his face into the crook of his neck.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Sir, you really think this is the best idea for your relationship with him?" Charles spoke for Magnus but Asmodeus just gulped his drink faster than a hungry baby drinking the milk. That would be the hundred one today probably but he lost count.

"It's for the best. I know what I'm doing." He said emotionlessly.

"Sir, I know it's not my place but this is inhuman. He'll be heartbroken if he couldn't see that boy again. You know how they bonded on that island. I fear that he would lose his mind over it."

Asmodeus turned his gaze towards Charles in a cold manner, his eyes are blood shot from all the alcohol he took.

"I don't care." He said silently but Charles couldn't find in his heart to leave this argument. "I'm sorry, I can't let you do that. Magnus is like a son to me, I can't see him like this. I can't bear my heart. I already saw what happened after Lily left, I'm  sure I don't wanna see it again."

He stomped his way but only to stop till he reached his steps. "Or what Charles? You're gonna threatened me to leave again? You won't fucking dare!" Asmodeus slammed his glasses against the wall and it shattered into pieces.

"Don't you fucking lie to my face again. Yes, I know Magnus is like a son to you which I knew you won't leave him in a million years cause you fucking love that boy to death! I did what I had to do to protect him and I certainly need too knowing that boy won't survived but why would I put my son in such state? Taking care of him? Loving him?"

"He is as good as dead and you know it. Why you must torture Magnus by seeing him dead right in front of his face? He has the brightest future ahead of him and you want to risk it by breaking his heart?"

Asmodeus chocked on his last words not realizing his tears fall regardless.

"It's better to break his heart now than to have it broken later. Better by me anyway than Alec. He can hate me all he want for the rest of his life but I can never let him hate himself for this."

Charles sat on the staircase holding his face in his hands unable to fathom Asmodeus words. As painful as it was, it's the truth. He can't help but to admit it. So he let him, he let him locked Magnus in his room till he is satisfied.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Hey. How is he?" Anna asked as soon as she arrives at the hospital. Maryse couldn't help but to hug her and smile at her way. She just shook her head with a fakest smile she could form.

Anna walked closer to Alec's bedside to find him asleep. His face is pale but still as good looking as she thought the first time she sees him. She grabbed his hand into hers and she could see him stirs.

Alec's eyes flutters and slowly opened to her. She smiled and she could see Alec tried to smile back but somehow his eyes betrayed him. He was too tired to even keep his eyes opened but somehow he did it.

"M-Mags-" He called which brought attention to her. She turned and gaze on Maryse that stood behind her. "Magnus didn't come?" She asked and Maryse could only shook her head. Anna puffed her breath out and kiss Alec's on his forehead, "I'll bring that sucker here. You hang on." She promised and stormed out from the room.

~~~~~

"Hey, can I know patient's Magnus Bane in that room? Where is he?" She asked the receptionist and she tried to look for it on the computer. "Who are you to him?" She asked typing away the keyboard. "I'm family." She simply answered.

"He's being discharged last night. His father requested." She said and Anna couldn't believe what she just heard. Asmodeus is risking his son's life for being discharged early without a doctor consent.

"Thank you." She stormed out from there heading to once place she could think of. She tried to call her fiancé on his phone but he turned it off which anger her more.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Where the hell is he?" Anna screamed as soon as she stepped into the mansion. There were nothing but emptiness and silent haunting the big house. Charles was taken over by her ambush and couldn't say anything but to point upstairs with his finger.

"Bedroom?" Anna asked and he nodded. She shoved her purse towards Charles' chest and she stomped her way upstairs.

She didn't bother to knock on the door so she walked in aimlessly finding Asmodeus on his couch having his another drink.

"What the hell are you thinking?!" She snatched the glass away from him and he looked surprised seeing him in the room. "Anna." He called but Anna point her finger with her other hand clenching hard making her knuckles white.

"Where's Magnus?" She asked and Asmodeus huffed. He chose to ignore her fusses and looked away. "Asmo you can't get him out without doctor's orders. What if he's not well enough for it? Plus Alec has been looking for him. Why on earth would you keep him away?"

Asmodeus stood abruptly from his seat and walked towards his liquor cabinet pouring himself another drink. "None of your concern, I have the doctor released him on his judgement not mine."

"None of my concern? He is soon to be my step son and I intended to do my very best on being his mother." She argued. "Step-mother." Asmodeus corrected her.

She was taken back by his words and tried to hold back her tears. "Wow. Where is this coming from?" She asked and he just gulped his drink away. She stepped closer to him and cupped his both cheek together in her palm. "Don't push me away. I'm here, I'm right here baby. Please. Don't do this again."

 He inhaled her scent as she leaned to kiss him but he pushed her back, " I think we should take a break." He said.

Anna let go of her hands and stood in front of him, her face taunt in a horrid expressions. "You can't be fucking serious right now?" She asked. "I need to take care of my family, I can't focus if we-" he stopped himself before he continued feared that he might hurt her feelings.

"You're a bastard you know that. A fucking prick! You think you do this for Magnus? You don't fool anyone, you do it only for yourself!" She said and went to the liquor cabinet herself.

She took one of the vodka bottle and before Asmodeus could say anything she smashed them to the wall. Before he could react another bottle of his expensive rum smashed to the ground. Soon Anna clattered all of the bottle and breaks each and one of them.

"The hell you're doing?" He grabbed her arm and forced her out of the way. "You think you're thinking right but think again. It's nothing but all of these and it's wake up call time!" She screamed at him.

As Asmodeus trying to look for anything that wasn't damaged she took her leave and decided to look for Magnus. She couldn't care less about his damaged that might cause him thousands of dollars, he deserved it.

"Charles, keys!" She screamed bloody murder which scares him the most. He never sees her like this, she always the calm one and the guys are the one who are the hot heads. He handed the key to her and she opened them in anger.

As soon as she did, horror flooded her face when she found Magnus on the floor on his stomach with a scissors on his left hand and blood pouring out from his right wrist. "Magnus!!" Charles screamed with her and went to his side.

"Help me get him to the bed." She commanded and he hesitated, "Should we take him to the hospital?" Charles asked.

"The wound isn't that deep and the floor is still wet so it means it's still new, I can fix it. Get me my bag from the car would you?" She said as soon as he placed Magnus on the bed. He didn't bother reply but headed straight to Anna's car which parked outside.

Anna grabbed one of the pillow and tore the cases out to wrap them around his wrist. She heard Magnus groaned in pain when she tied it around the wound.

"Magnus?" Asmodeus called as soon as he entered the room. "Oh god Mags, is he okay?" He climbed the bed and stroked his head in concerned. Although he is drunk, he's sober now with all the yelling with Anna.

"This is all your fault. If I wasn't here he would be dead for all we know." Anna scolded him and she thought he would stood his ground but when he breaks into tears and hugged his son, she sighed in relieved.

~~~~~~~

Magnus groaned turning his head after Anna finishes her dressings and stitches, "Mags." Asmodeus called cupping his cheek. He looked at his father but sighed and turned his head to the other way.

"Mags, why would you do something like this?" He asked and Magnus sighed.

"If I can't be with him might as well joined him." He said, his voice might be low but it's enough for them both to gasp.

"Magnus, that's not-," Anna couldn't find a word to ease his feelings right now. "Think of what Alec would feel if he knew? He's fighting his own life but you take yours for granted." Magnus stares at her face with tears flooded his eyes and fall on his temple.

"I can't lose him." He said with his lips trembled and Anna could only nod while rubbing his arm up and down. "Let's go see him but you need to eat first." She instructed Charles to cook him some of his favorite food. As soon as Magnus eats, they all get ready for them to head to the hospital, including Asmodeus himself.
