Magnus could taste the metallic liquid in the back of his throat. His vision was blurred, and he felt disorientated.

Alexander. Where's my Alexander?

He had meant to say the words, but they never got past his lips. He tried to clear his throat so he could speak, but the words never came out. Only incoherent groaning.

"He's awake..."

It was the young man that spoke.

Magnus felt to tip of a boot against his cheek. Tilting his head. He wanted to push it away, but he couldn't move. Realization hit him. He was tied up, laying on his side. Arms behind his back, tied to his legs.

"My young prince... How nice it is to see you."

Lilith sad majestic on a dining room chair, sipping from a drink.

The young man in front of her kneeled down in front of Magnus, blocking his vision. He tried to focus on the man. Figure out where he had seen him before.

He was dressed all in black with a hooded shirt that hid his face in the shadows.

"I hear you have been asking about me... is that true?"

The voice was so familiar. But where had he heard it before...?

"Please... don't hurt him..."

A pleading cry behind Magnus, made him fight to look behind him. He would recognize that trembling voice anywhere.

His Alexander.

When Magnus finally could see Alexander in the periphery of his line of sight, he felt his heart drop. Alec seemed to almost be in a catatonic state.

Sitting on the ground with his arms wrapped around him, rocking back and forth. Repeating the mantra again and again in different volumes.

"Please... don't hurt him..."

Magnus could sense the anxiety that radiated from Alec. His heart bled for him.

Suddenly a sharp pain throbbed through his body, burning from his stomach. He drew in ragged breaths.

"Answer me!"

The young man seemed psychotic in the way he acted.

Magnus spat out blood, hitting the man's boot.

"Son of a bitch!"

The agitated man kicked Magnus hard in the face. A whimper fell from his lips, as the room started spinning.

"Take it easy my love. We might need him later."

Lilith placed a hand on the man's shoulder, calming him down.

"Please! Don't hurt him!"

Alec's voice had become a loud scream, but his eyes were still out of focus. Magnus was afraid Alec was about to retract into his own mind.

"My dear prince, you need to answer my boy right now, or I cannot guarantee for your safety."

Magnus glared at Lilith. Hatred shining from his eyes.

"How can I answer him, when I don't know who he is?"

Magnus responded through clenched teeth.

"Have you, or have you not asked around about a man that supposedly should be my soft spot?"

Lilith kneeled down in front of him.

Magnus looked at her with wide eyes.

"Oh my god... Don't say..."

"Ragnor says hi..."

The young man answered maliciously.

"Or... He is not saying much of anything anymore."

A vicious laughter filled the room.

"No..."

Magnus felt like the entire world around him started spinning. Had Ragnor just lost his life because of him?

"He hadn't done anything! he was innocent!"

Magnus screamed at Lilith and the man next to her.

"Hadn't done anything? HE started asking around about me... and I can't have that..."

The young man grabbed magnus by his hair and pulled him up on his knees.

"No one investigates me and survives it."

He tugged Magnus head down and smacked his knee into it. Magnus' eyes fell back in his head before he lost consciousness.

The man tossed Magnus aside like a piece of trash, ignoring Lilith's request to go easy on Magnus.

Slowly he moved closer to Alec, enjoying the way fear covered Alec's face with every step he took.

"You recognize me, don't you pretty boy?"

Alec's entire body started trembling before the memories of the torture he had endured flushed over him. Bringing back the pain and agony.

Alec screamed with fear and hurt.

Jonathan smiled ferociously at him. soaking in the fear. Relishing in it.

A knock on the door silenced Alec's screams. It yanked him out of the mental state he was in.

Izzy...

It could be Izzy at the door...

"no no no no... Please don't do anything to her..."

Alec pleaded when Jonathan moved towards the door.

He pulled out a gun and placed it against the door at head level.

"No please. Take me instead!"

Alec jumped up and ran towards Jonathan but got knocked to the ground by Lilith.

He landed one foot away from Magnus, facing him.

"Alec..."

Magnus was waking up. Slowly trying to focus on Alec. He could see the tears that streamed down Alec's face.

"Why would we take you silly boy? You are no use to us."

Lilith moved her eyes from Alec and settled them on Magnus.

"But you however... that is another thing..."

"Alec? Are you in there? Magnus? Anybody home?"

Izzy's voice travelled through the door.

Magnus could hear the concern in her voice and saw the fear shining from Alec's eyes. Magnus knew he had to do something.

"Take me... I'll go with you if you promise me that Alexander and Izzy won't be harmed."

"Magnus no..."

Alec's voice was barely a whisper.

"I have too my love. We have to think about the baby..."

Alec fell apart, crying from the realization that he had to choose between his boyfriend and his sister.
