In my veins »/Raphael Santiago\«

Hurts like hell

Afina and Raphael were close to the institute when Raphael started struggling at bit "are you ok?" Afina asked

"It's holy ground, I'm basically not allowed close to a church or anywhere with meaning" Raphael explained and they continued walking until her team ran out ready to attack but then stopped seeing what was in front of them

Clary ran in front of them but stopped immediately tearing up when she saw an exhausted Raphael holding her dead best friend "oh my god" Clary whispered

Raphael carried Simon inside after a lot of convincing from Clary and Afina. They took him to the institutes basement and they laid him down on a table with a book under his head

Raphael moved so Clary could get closer to Simon and he walked over to Afina putting an arm around her to comfort her

"People will be wondering what we found outside the perimeter" Jace said looking at Alec.

"I'll go, I'll tell them we didn't find anything nobody will come down here" Alec said before going upstairs

"I might be a vampire but I was raised a good catholic" Raphael said before Izzy started speaking

"The vampires breached the accords killing Simon calls for war" she said looking down at him.

"The vampires were not behind this just Camille she attacked Simon on her own" Raphael said defending his own

"How do we know your telling the truth?" Jace asked and Afina spoke up

"He is, I was there when Camille fed him her blood. She wanted this to happen, I tried to stop Simon from going but I couldn't he was faster then me" Afina explained

"I don't want trouble with the shadowhunters" Raphael said

"Smart decision" Izzy sneered and Afina glared at her sister

"I warned the mundane to stay away but Camille gave him a taste of her own blood and like an addict he came back for more" Raphael said

"The only reason Simon ever tasted Camilles blood was because of you" Clary said tears in her eyes

"Don't pin this on him Clary" Afina said lowly

"So your on his side?" Clary spat in disgust and Afina had enough

"Yes I am Clary, I'm also on my teams side and Simons. He didn't have to bring Simon here but he did! And why do you care his so called 'best friend' always ditched him for Jace always hung up on him that is if you actually answered so don't you dare blame him for this! If you were there for him then maybe he wouldn't of even gone to the hotel and he'd still be alive! But no I was with him and I just found out he's my brother! We get it Clary you want to find your mom but you got him killed in the process" Afina yelled

"Hey!" Jace yelled at her

"Don't even get me started with you Jace I have a lot to say and I'm positive you don't want to hear it" Afina said and Raphael pulled her back a little to calm her down

"He kidnapped him Afina! He drugged him! He delivered him to Camille!" Clary yelled at Afina but also trying to make her point with Raphael

"I didn't mean for this to happen" Raphael said and Afina turned him so she could hug him. When they pulled apart Raphael brought Afina to a bench and they both sat down before he started speaking again "there is a way"

"A way what?" Jace asked

"A way to bring Simon back" Raphael said giving Jace a look

"You can do that?" At this Raphael turned his head towards Clary "how? How?!"
