izzy "killing simon is grounds for war."
raph "the vampires where not behind this."
raph "just camille. she attacked simon on her own."
jace "and how do we know you're telling the truth?"

raph "i could have gotten rid of him but insted i brought him here."
me "we are also like brothers, he would not hurt a clouse friend of mine."

raph "i don't want trouble with the shadowhunters."
izzy "smart decision."
raph "i warned the mundane to stay away..."
raph "but camille game him a taste of her blood, and like an addict..."
raph "he came back wanting more."

raph "even the neckless could not stop this."
raph gave me a broken neckless that i gave him.

clary "the only reason simon even tasted camille's blood is because of you."
clary "you kidnapped him! you drug him to hotel dumort. you..."
clary " you dilivered him to camille."

raph "i never meant for this to happen."
i stood up and wraped a arm around him.
clary "[sobbing] simon. simon, please come back, please!"

raph sat down and i sat next to him.
raph "there is a way."
jace "a way' what?"
raph "a way to bring simon back."
clary "you can do that?"

clary "how? how?"
raph "he's a fledgling."
raph "it's a state of transition. your friend can be resurrected."

jace "no."
izzy "clary, no."
i didn't say anything.

clary "[stammers] so i could have simon back?"
clary "alive and breathing?"
izzy "that's just it."
izzy "he won't return alive or breathing."
izzy "he'll be a vampire."

jace "and not the sexed up, romantic kind."
jace "the ugly, bloodsucking, coffin-dwelling kind."
me "that not nice."
raph "that's offensive."

jace "really?"
raph "coffin implies wooden box."
raph "we have caskets now. they're made of 14-karat gold."
jace "[clicks tongue] my bad."

raph "it's almost sunrise."
raph "simon must be turned into a vampire tonight or staked through the heart."
clary "and if i do neither?"
raph "his soul will be trapped for eternity."
raph "you have till sunset to decide."

raph "the clock is ticking."
i layed on raph lap as he played with my hair.

clary "i'm so sorry i wasn't there."
clary started crying.
clary "this is all my fault."
me "it is you should be there for him like he was for you."

jace glared at me.
jace "clary, this isn't your--"
clary "no, it is!"
clary "if it weren't for me, simon would have never even known about the shadow world."

clary "he would never have been kidnapped by vampires."
clary "he woudn't have met camille. he would..."
clary "he wouldn't be dead."
raph "fledging. he's in transition."
me "dousn't help raph."
clary "and now i am left with two..."
