Chapter Text
-Izzy if you are not ready in 5 minutes I’m leaving without you!- Alec shouts from the hallway. He just doesn’t understand why does she needs 2 hours to get ready for the party. For him it is maybe 20 minutes including shower.
Alec really wants to go to the party. Not because he likes them. No, absolutely not! He knows that Magnus will be there and he just needs to talk to him about everything that has happened in the past few days. But especially he wants to talk about their relationship because Alec just can’t live without him. He loves Magnus too much to not fight for him.
-Jeez, big brother. I’m coming. It takes time to look this fabulous.- Izzy says coming from her room and posing for Alec.
-So how do I look?-
-Great!-
-Really? Just great? Even you can do better than that.-
-What do you want me to say? That you will outshine every person that will be in the party?- Alec asks annoyed. The longer they are in the institute the bigger possibility that he won’t have a chance to speak to Magnus.
-That would be a good start. But okay, okay, let’s go. I know you want to talk to Magnus.- Izzy says. And after a minute continues.- Do you know what you will say to him?-
-I have no idea really. Just the truth I guess.-
-What is the truth?- Izzy asks softly.
-That I love him and can’t live without him.- Alec says not looking at his sister.
-Oh, Alec. I’m sure he feels the same way about you and you should tell him that..- Izzy stops talking when they hear a loud crush coming from the dark street. Alec immediately takes his bow (Thank the angel that he takes his bow everywhere with him) and Izzy takes her whip and together they follow the sound.
They both step into the dark street and immediately see flashing red eyes. Before Alec or Izzy can react, demon sends magic their way and next second everything goes black.

Next time Alec opens his eyes there is no longer darkness around them. It’s a new day. Did he lay here all night? And why no one has tried to find them? And most importantly, where did the demon go?
Alec looks around and sees Izzy still lying on the ground. –Izzy!ISABELLE! WAKE UP!- Alec starts to panic when she immediately don’t open her eyes.
-What is it? Is something wrong?- Izzy says when she finally opens her eyes.
-I don’t know. I don’t remember anything after the demon attack. Did you?-
-No, I just remember red glowing eyes and then there is darkness and..Alec!- Izzy shouts looking completely shocked.
-What’s wrong? Are you injured?- Alec asks worriedly.
-No, it’s not that. Look around Alec! We are not in New York. Everything looks different! I think it’s London but I'm not really sure?- Izzy guesses.
-How the hell did we get to London? We didn’t even use portal.-
-My guess is as good as yours, big brother, but if we are going to sit around we won’t find where we are. So let’s go!-
-Okay. You’re right! We just need to know where we are so we can find the closest institute and ask for help.- Alec decides.
-Lead the way, big brother!- Izzy says with a smile but the moment they step outside the small street her smile drops.- Something is wrong. Very wrong. Everything looks like it’s...-
-Old? Yeah, I can see that.- They both watch people walking around with weird clothes. And there are a lot of carriages with horses. It’s looks like a different century.
-Alec, do you think that maybe we are in the past? Everything looks so different. Is it even possible? Has Magnus ever told you about time travel before? Because that information would be useful right about now!-Izzy says with panic in her voice. There isn’t a lot of things that can scare his little sister but looks like this is one of them. And who could blame her? It literally looks like they stepped in 19th or 20th century. Alec himself starts to panic but tries to mask it so he wouldn’t scare his sister even more.
-Magnus has never told me anything about time travel before. But maybe we should start with finding out what year this is?- Alec says looking at his sister.
-Okay. There probably have to be a newspaper somewhere. Then we will know where and when we are.- Izzy says looking more and more calm. Thank the angel for that!
It doesn’t take them long before they find the newspaper and what he sees completely terrifies him:
They are in London and it’s the year 1885.

Present
The party was very crowded and loud and normally Magnus was all for that but today he just wasn’t in the mood for that. He was looking in the crowd trying to find Alexander with his eyes because he heard Clary and Jace talk that he will be here. But he haven’t seen him yet.
-Magnus. Have you seen Izzy or Alec? They were suppose to be here 20 minutes ago.- Jace asks stepping in front of him.
-No, I haven’t seen either of them. Is something wrong?- Magnus asks.
-No, no everything is...Ahh..- Jace yelps in pain.
-What’s wrong?- Magnus looks at Jace trying to find where he is hurt.
-My parbatai rune! It’s..ahh..- Jace groans in pain again and as suddenly the pain started it stoped.
-What just happened? Is Alexander okay?- Magnus asks with clear panic in his voice. He is scared that Jace will say something bad. And he prays that he is wrong and everything is okay with his Alexander.
-I don’t know. I know he is no longer in pain but I almost can’t feel him. It’s like he is somewhere far away. But I don’t know where because or bond is very weak right know.- Jace says.- Magnus you have to help me find him! And Izzy too because they should have been here together!-
-I will help! Get Clary! We need to go to my loft. I’m not ready to lose Alexander!-
