I woke up to the sun shining on my face. As I turned around, I see Magnus looking at me with so much love in his eyes. I smile.
"Morning." I whispered
"Morning, darling." He told me, giving me a kiss
Suddenly, I got a call. I answered the phone.
"Stella. It's bad." I heard Landon say
"Landon?" I asked wondering why he is calling.
"Landon? What's bad?" I asked him. I saw how Magnus looked at me.
"He took them all. I'm sorry, Stella. I tried my best to fight them all. I don't think I'll make it." he told me.
"No." I whispered. "Not him." I cried
I looked down, trying not to cry.
"How bad?" I asked in a whisper.
"It's bad, darling. I'm sorry I hurt you all those years ago. I'm glad you found love again. Valentine, he took about 20 warlocks. I was able to portal the others away before they stabbed me multiple times." He told me before I heard him gasping
I was crying now. "It's okay. I got over it a long time ago. I forgive you, Landon. You were my first true love. It's okay. You can let go; I'll get your people back. I promise." I told him
"I...Love...You." He told me between gasp
"I love you too." I told him as the line went quiet. I ended the call before crying in Magnus arms.
"He's dead. I lost another friend due to Shadowhunters. Due to The Circle." I stated. I wanted to cry but I held them in.
"I'm sorry, Stella." Magnus told me
"He's dead. Landon is dead." I told him
"I'm sorry, love. I know how much he meant to you." He told me as he just held me
"I have to go to him." I said as I opened a portal
"Do you want me to come with you?" He asked me
I could only nod. I watched as his magic wrapped around us, changing our clothes, before we stepped in the portal. When we got to the other side, I saw Landon in a puddle of his own blood.
"400 years of friendship and more. And he's gone." I told Magnus. "When we get out of here, we are going to war." I told him, holding in all my rage.
"Oh, Landon." I whispered going towards him
I cradled his body, crying in grief. I don't know how long we were in that position, until I got up. I created wood, before placing his body on the mantle.
"What are you doing, love?" Magnus asked me
"When Landon and I were together, he told me what I should do if he shall ever pass away. The first step is to gather wood and make a mantle. The second step is to set his body on top. The third step is to-" I started before crying again "-is to set his body on fire. We watch as it burns and the ashes flow through the air." I told him crying
I lit his body on fire, before saying the prayer. " You have been the sun of our lives. Our prayers will be the sun that lights your way on the journey home. We will remember you in every dawn. And await the night we join you in the sky." I said watching as the flames grew dimmer.
As the flames disappeared, I created a gust of wind, watching his ashes spread through the air.
"That was a beautiful ceremony." Alexander told me.
I couldn't help but agree. My first love and longtime friend was truly gone.
"It was beautiful, Stella." Magnus said
We stayed like that, until we went home. I stepped inside and grabbed a drink.
"Do you want to talk about him?" Magnus asked me
"He was the first man I loved. He showed me not to be afraid to embrace who I am." I started "I remember this one memory of us. We were at a ball and neither of us liked dancing, but we did either way. We walked on the ballroom floor and just swayed. It was that moment I knew I was in love with him." I told him
"I remember that. It's funny how far we have come from that day." I said, smiling from the memory.
"Oh, my love. It is painful to lose your first love, but you must remember what he asked of you. What you promised him. Find his people. Make his last wish true." Magnus told me
"Your right, but for today can we just drink the pain away?" I asked of him
He nodded his head as we sat together drinking in silence. It was a new day, and I knew I had to go save these people. I get up, mentally prepared for the day.
"Morning, darling." I told him
"Morning, Stel." He said
"I'm going away for the day." I told him
"What?! where?" He asked me
"I have to go find those warlocks that were taken." I told him
He sighed but nodded his head. "Do you need me to come with you?" He asked
"No. I can do this by myself. Plus, don't you have to restock your supply cabinet." I told him
"Your right." he said
"I always am." I told him laughing
"Promise me you'll come home to me." He told me
"I promise you. I won't be gone long." I told him
Soon we finished breakfast, and I got ready to start my search.
"Darling, I need you to check up on Alexander. He is not in a good head space, so I need you to help him while I'm gone." I told him
"I will." He told me
"Bye, kitty cat. I'll be back soon." I told kissing him before leaving.

WITH MAGNUS AND ALEC
It was nighttime and Stella still hasn't returned. I knew I couldn't worry myself about that right now. I sent a fire message to Alec, knowing he would come to me. I looked through my cabinet waiting for his arrival.
"Magnus. I got your fire message. What's the emergency?" I heard as I saw Alec come through the door in a worry.
"Are those..." He started looking at the bottle in my hand
"Fangs. Yes. Very potent. Good for digestion." I told him holding the bottle out, offering some. He just held his hand out "I'm sorry about the emergency call, but it was the only way to get your attention." I told him
"Well, since you're okay, I should probably get back." Alec told me, walking towards the door
"I'm not okay... because you're not okay." I started before I went in front of him. "Alexander... you've been to hell and back. And you haven't stopped for a second, taken a moment for yourself." I told him
"Magnus, we're in a middle of a war." he told me
I could only sigh at how stubborn this man was. "There will always be a war. A mission. A... a problem to solve. Look, I speak from experience. If you fail to grant time for the things, you care about, you'll forget why you're even fighting at all." I told him as I saw him think it over.
"Magnus, Stella, my brother is one of the stubbornest people you will ever meet." Isabelle told us.
"Shut up, Izzy." he told her
"it's okay, angel. For Magnus can be just as stubborn as you." I told him
"Hey! I am not!" Magnus pouted.
"What do you have in mind?" He asked me. I smiled knowing I got through you him
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With Stella
As I searched the lair, I noticed the scent of Shadowhunter's. That could only mean one thing, The Circle. I inhaled and followed the scent. I may hate my father, but if he wasn't a wolf, I don't know what I would do in this situation. I continued to follow the scent, until I reached a warehouse.
"Phantamogriphia decorum" I whispered making me invisible to the eyes of those I go near.
I walked into the warehouse, killing The Circle member quick and fast. I used my angel side. My luck seems to have run out though. My illusion spell ran out. Soon, I was surrounded. I could take them though. I put my weapons away and used my chaos magic. I threw Circle members, snapped necks as fast as I could. It didn't mean I wasn't uninjured. Finally, I was the only one standing. I went towards the warlocks and released them, panting from the blood loss.
"I will never understand how you can get tired from fighting but not running." Magnus told me
I just laughed, not really knowing myself.
"Who are you?" One of them asked
"An old friend of Landon's. his last wish was for me to come get you. Go to a high warlock and stay safe." I told them. I watched as they portaled away
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WITH MAGNUS AND ALEC
"I have to admit, nothing beats a late-night stroll through the city." I said as we entered the loft
"Yeah. Gives you time to think." Alec said
"You must have thought a lot. You barely said a word the whole way home." I said pouring myself a drink
"Magnus... Do you think... maybe we're too..." Alec started "-Different" I finished for him
"Yeah." Alec agreed
"We're from totally different worlds." I told him
"Different centuries. Look, I...I should go." Alec told me starting to walk away
I could only look down, watching as he walked away.
"Look, I don't care how many people you've been with." he told me walking towards me
"I don't care how many people you haven't been with." I told him
I saw as he breathed in, before he gathered the courage and kissed me.
"Yes!" Jace and Isabelle cheered.
Alexander was a blushing mess.
"Ah, he kissed me first." Magnus cheered
This might be better than my first kiss with Stella.
"Rude." I said
Before we could finish, a portal opened in the loft. Alexander and I looked and saw Stella step out and saw Jace come through the door.
"Do you have a spare room?" he asked
I nodded, pointing to the room. After, he left the room, Alec and I guided Stella to our room.
"Are you okay? Are you injured?" Alec asked her
"I'm fine. A couple of stab wounds. Nothing I can't heal." I told him, watching as he looked over me.
"Stella, what happened?" Magnus asked
"I followed the scent of the Circle members. Found them at a warehouse. I killed all of them, before releasing the warlocks. I did it Magnus. I made Landon's final wish true." I told him
"I'm sure he's happy. Rest my dear. I'll be here when you wake." I told her healing her wounds. Alec and I stayed watching her fall asleep.
"Will Alec stay too?" She asked
"I will." Alec told her
We left the room.
"Why was she like that?" Alec asked me
"Stella's ex-lover died yesterday. He called her to tell her what happened. He asked for her to get his people from The Circle. I watched as she bid farewell to her first love and promised revenge. She saved his people." I told him
"Will she be okay?" He asked
"She will. Stella is strong. Now shall we join our belove." I told him
We got up and changed into more comfortable clothes. We got on each side of Stella going to bed.
"And sleeping in the same bed. Alec, my man, you move fast." Jace said
"Quiet, Jace." Alexander told him
