In my veins »/Raphael Santiago\«

Please don't go

Afina jolted awake to see someone from the institute waiting in the room

She stood up quickly seeing no one else in the room not even Raphael

"Where's Raphael" she asked frantically backing away from the man who was walking towards her

"I have orders to bring you in when you wake up. Come with me Raphaels at the institute" the man said and Afina was hesitant before nodding her head and walking with him to the institute

Once they got there Afina covered her mouth at the sight of Raphael being tortured

"Raphael!" She yelled and he quickly looked at her surprised

"Afina?! You're alive?! Get out of here!" He shouted before he started struggling in his seat when he saw Victor walking towards her "don't touch her!"

Afina took a step back when Victor got up to her

"Afina, have a seat" he said putting a hand on her back moving her to a seat next to Raphael

"NO! Afina don't sit down!" Raphael yelled struggling even more but it was to late she had already sat down and was stuck in the chair

She started struggling when she saw a light moving towards her

"Raphael!" She screamed scared of what will happen

"I'm telling you I don't know where Camille is! Just let Afina go!" Raphael yelled when he heard Afina screaming he looked over at her to see the light had reached her face "I swear when I get out of this I will kill you!"

"Is that a threat Raphael?" Victor asked his hands behind his back

"You're hurting someone I love so yes it is a threat" he said through gritted teeth before the light moved back to him burning him multiple times before the light went back to Afina

He watched as the light cut deeply into her face. He watched her pain and her screaming and he couldn't do anything to stop it

Raphael thrashed around in his spot yelling at them to stop even though he was weak himself. Finally Victor turned off the light

"You have twelve hours to find Camille if you don't find her by then I will burn your clan then I'll make you watch as we burn Afina then we'll burn you, let them go" with that Victor walked out of the room and Raphael stumbled his way over to Afina who had closed her eyes at the pain

"Come on, I just got you back Afina. You're fine ok? You're fine. You're with me now" Raphael said bring her head closer to his chest kissing her head "I thought I lost you"

"Where were you?" She asked weakly

"The stupid institute pulled me out everyone was called into the institute it was an order so they left that man there and it was not my choice, come on let's get to Magnus" Raphael stood up holding onto Afina to balance her as she stood up

"By the way I remember" Afina said smiling

"Remember what?" Raphael asked still holding onto Afina

"That night you saved me" after she said that Afina collapsed in his arms and Raphael gathered the strength to carry her to Magnus

Raphael set Afina down next to him on the floor as she was still unconscious

He turned to the front door and pounded on it and he could hear footsteps approaching the door before it opened

"Raphael" Magnus sighed at the sight of the vampire before moving his gaze to Afina
