My Love

The Rescue pt. 2

Alec POV

I watched as the elves that the Seelie Queen had called in distributed food to the children. There had indeed been Fey children there, almost a hundred and still counting. It was nowhere as many as the warlock children but quite a lot.

I walked and found Catarina splinting a kid's leg. She looked to be ten and beautiful purple scales covered her body. "Hey Cat, how are the kids?"

"Most of them are doing very well. The bast- I mean, bad man hasn't fed them in two days but the elves have taken very good care if that factor and brought a lot of food for them" Catarina responded. I nodded.

"You might want to go find Magnus. I have a feeling that his is flipping out, with concern" Catarina told me.

"Okay" I replied and walked off.

I after a few minutes of walking around, I found Magnus speaking with the Seelie Queen and other warlocks, all Marks exposed.

"Where will we keep the children?" Magnus asked.

"Why don't you tell us High Warlock?" One of the men sneered, he was an elf.

"Is he being disrespectful? I could deal with him if you'd like" Zahra informed Magnus.

He waved a hand at, "Stand down. Go help out where you can"

"And now you have demons working under you?" The Seelie Queen asked incredulously.

"Just a few. Now can we turn back to the actual problem at hand or are you people going to continue to question and berate me for no other reason than that you can?" Magnus asked, annoyed.

The Queen huffed, "You should watch your mouth, I'm more powerful than you are"

"I wouldn't be so sure Your Highness" Magnus responded

"And why not?" She persisted.

"Because I've been alive much longer than you have and my forces hold more power than yours. So will you stay on topic?"

"Fine. We can probably get the children places here to stay, places where we know they will be well taken care of. I can take the Fey children back with me and I'll place them in homes" The Seelie Queen informed Magnus.

"Okay. I'll go see Catarina and see how many kids are actually here, I have a feeling that it is more than four hundred seventy three" Magnus said, that other Downworlders walked away.

"Hey" I said.

"Hello my love" Magnus replied turning around. I wrapped him in an embrace and his lips were pressed to my forehead.

"I just checked in on Catarina. There were some injures, not as many as were expected" I told him.

"Okay, I'm going to go see if I can find shelters, or people who will take them in. Married warlocks who can't conceive their own offspring, single warlocks who want children. Anywhere I can get these kids safe" he informed me.

"Okay, see you around" I bid Magnus farewell and he left.

Magnus POV

It's been two weeks since the rescue of the children, in reality there were six hundred nineteen and two hundred fifty of them were Fey. The Seelie Queen had managed to put all of them in homes, that were her kind. All of the warlock children that had come from a home, and wanted to go back, went back after their homes, once they were certified a safe place for them. Which left which left two hundred children that were living in awful mundane group homes, on the streets or in the wilderness to be taken care of. I found good Downworlders for them to live with; warlock couples who wanted children, a werewolf who was married to a warlock and couldn't reproduce on their own, Downworlders who couldn't conceive on their own, a great number of different combinations of people took in those children. Fifty of them were not taken and were put in orphan shelters run by good people.
