The first thing Lily noticed when she walked into Raphael's room was how terrible he looked. His hair wasn't jelled back, his shirt was untucked, his sleeves pushed up, a suit jacket missing and he clearly hasn't slept in a few days. The fledgling betraying the clan hit everyone hard, but Raphael always had a deeper connection with him and it's only been a week. That's why she felt a bit guilty telling him that a few of the vampires smelled Simon a few feet away from the hotel.
"What? Did you send anyone after him?" Raphael asked her while quickly getting up.
"Of course not, I figured you would want to handle it," Lily answered and Raphael nodded. He pulled his sleeves down and button them up at his wrists before striding out of the room, Lily following after him.
Raphael barked orders and he made his way through Hotel Dumort, "Elliot with me and Lily. Stan go make sure the rest of the clan stays here until I say differently." The vampires moved to comply and soon the trio was briskly walking towards the traitor.
Elliot and Lily went to snarl at Simon when they finally reached him, but Raphael held up a hand signaling them to back down. Simon didn't move and he stayed on the floor his legs pulled to his chest. His face was being hidden in his knees not letting people around him see his face.
"What are you doing here, traitor, you have a kill order on your head," Raphael told him. It was said with a mask of indifference, but Lily could hear the pain in his voice. Simon seemed to hear it too, because he started to shake and quietly murmur 'I'm sorry' over and over. They still couldn't see his face, but he was clearly crying, seem to have been for a while.
It was a few moments before Raphael spoke again, "You know about the kill order, and you were expecting us to come out here." His voice was quiet and confused, but Lily and Elliot could hear what he was implying.
Simon nodded his head, yes. "I figured I would wait for a vampire to find me or the sun to come up. I just wanted to see my home one more time," Simon's voice was so quiet and small that they strained to hear it even with their vampire hearing. All three of them figured that was why Simon was here, but hearing that there fledgling was trying to kill himself broke them. Raphael's face crumbled. It held so much pain and raw emotion, it made Lily want to cry even more.
"Why? Why would you do that?" Lily finally questioned.
"It's a-all my fault. I told Clary, no. I said I wouldn't b-betray my family, but she s-said if I didn't she w-would go to the C-Clave. She had e-evidence, Raphael, a-about Camille turning me w-without my consent. Evidence t-that would have i-implicated the entire c-clan. It would mean g-guaranteed death, I-I couldn't let that h-happened." Simon explained shocking on different words.
The three vampire were shocked, out of all the things he could have said that wasn't what they tough he would have. They were even more shocked when he lifted his head. Bloody tears flowed from his eyes which were bloodshot from hunger. He clearly hadn't eaten since he released Camille. The thing that stranded out the most was the two burns on his cheeks.
"I'm so s-sorry, I'm sorry, I-I'm sorry Raphael," Simon told them, before he started to cry harder.
"Dios," Raphael breathed before falling to his knees and grabbing Simon for a tight hug. "It wasn't your fault, mi cariño. Elliot go get blood, Lily go inform the clan," Raphael ordered them before picking Simon up bridal style. Simon didn't seem to notice and continued to sob into Raphael's shoulder. The two vampires were quick to comply and Raphael brought Simon into the Hotel and up to his room.
