bad blood -1


merely moments after screaming I pass out. In my dreams see Simon walking into the hotel du mort and being attacked by a vampire who I assume is Camille before he too passes out. When I wake up I am in my bed. I hear a ping from my phone and open it to see a message from Raphael. 

I caught Camille draining your mundane friend, he's not gone yet. I am heading to the institute with him. 

I let out a gasp and shoot out of bed. I find my stele still in my hair and I leave it there as I rush out of my room and through the institute to outside where I push through Alec and Jace and run infront of them. "babe, what are you doing?" Jace asks but I ignore him and run up to Simon and Raphael. I let out a gasp as tears fill my eyes. 

the others talk but I don't pay attention and instead stare at the lifeless body of my best friend in one of my mates arms. I don't even notice as we enter the institute and head down to the basement as I'm too fixated on staring at Simon as tears stream from my eyes. "The vampires breached the accords, killing Simon is grounds for war." Izzy says and my head shoots up to face her. 

"The vampires were not behind this, just Camille. She attacked Simon on her own." Raphael responds calmly.

"How do we know you are telling the truth?" Jace asks and I feel anger start to build up in me. 

"Because I saw it, I saw Camille attack Simon on her own after I passed out due to the drawing I transferred onto him and anyway, I trust him." I saw as I walk up to Raphael and hug him. 

"I could've gotten rid of him, instead I brought him her, I don't want trouble with the Shadowhunter's." Raphael replies despite me defending him. 

"Smart decision." Izzy says hatefully. 

I stop listening to what they say until Raphael sits down and pulls me into his lap. "There is a way." Raphael points out making my eyes snap to his as he runs his hand up and down my thigh keeping me calm. 

"A way what?" Jace asks. 

"A way to bring Simon back." Raphael responds and I quickly understand what he means. 

"You can do that? how, how?" Clary asks. 

"he is a fledgling, its a state of transition. your friend can be resurrected." 

"no." Jace and Izzy both respond. 

"So I could have Simon back?" Clary ask and Raphael nods. Alive and breathing?" I stop  listening and lay my head on his chest as I cry into him. I know that I can't stand to be in the same room as Simon for much longer so I kiss Raphael on the cheek before getting up and walking out of the room. 

I go back to my room where I try and fail to sleep and instead get out my drawing pad and start drawing Simon back when he was alive and human. when I finish my drawing I stretch my arms and leave my room with the intent to find something to eat and drink when I spot Alec talking to a young boy who I presume is Max. I wipe my eyes before walking over. "You must be the younger brother I've heard mentioned." I say with a smile as I look at the young boy. 

"Oh, yeah, I'm Max lightwood. you're pretty." I feel a slight blush come to my cheek. 

"why thank you but if you keep saying stuff like that I doubt Alec will be very happy." I reply with a smirk. 

"huh, why?" Max asks confused making me laugh despite all that is going on. 

"Because I am one of her mates. Max I would like you to meet the shadowhunter from the prophecy and my mate Adelina Fairchild. Lina, this is my little brother Max." Alec introduces us and I nod just as I hear the doors open and i turn only to see Valentine walking in. 

Alec shoots an arrow at him while my staff form in my hand and I run forwards and leap off the wall and using the staff to knock him down as I form a dagger in my other hand and I go to slit his throat only to freeze when I see the shock and fear in his eyes. they aren't emotions that Valentine Morgenstern would feel. I get off of them and make my weapons disappear as I hold out my hand for them. "I could've killed you." I say as the person disguised as Valentine grabs my hand to stand up before getting their stele and removing their glamour to reveal a blond haired woman instead. 

"That reaction time was abysmal except for you two. I'm Lydia Bramwell, envoy from the clave." The woman says before walking past. "Maryse, the clave has told me to take temporary control of this institute." 

"Wait a minute, no-one informed us." Maryse says clearly annoyed. 

"the clave doesn't need to, and to repeat myself it's temporary, nothing's been decided yet but I do need full clearance in order to access how this institute is running." She does something on one of the many screens before she continues speaking. "Where are the Fairchild girls?" She asks and I step forward. 

"I am Adelina, my sister is in the field training with Jace. It's a pleasure to meet you Lydia." I say with a polite smile. 

"The pleasure is mine. being able to meet the shadowhunter destined to unite shadow-hunter's and the down-world is amazing." I blush and look down slightly. "but your telling me Clary Fairchild is just out and about in the streets of New York? Valentine's daughter." She emphasizes. I'm guessing being blessed by the angels counteracts me being the daughter of the enemy. 

"Isn't she also your cousin?" Izzy asks and my eyes widen in shock. 

"Distant cousin." Lydia replies, obviously wanting to have as little connection to Valentine as possible. 

"She's with Jace." Alec speaks up. 

"The same Jace Wayland who decided to launch an unsanctioned raid against the vampires?" Lydia asks and I feel my dislike for this woman growing slightly. "I've read reports." 

"Jace might be unconventional but he's our best soldier, if he is with Clary then she's in good hands." Maryse defends. 

"I hope so, and for your sake all of New York, all of your jurisdiction better be well protected."
