Meant To Be?

My Princess Dreams Came True!

Simon ran away with me in his arms.

I would have turned a blind eye and thought of it as a comforting embrace but then the thought that he was a newborn vampire caught up with me... No. Not newborn vampire- I prefer the term baby vamp. Yeah that would work. Oh wait... I hope he doesn't suck my blood. That would be an awful way to end our friendship...

Another familiar vamp caught up with us and stopped us, "Hey! Hey! Where do you think you're going?"

Simon staggered away and let me down on to the ground, "I don't know." He went to walk away but caught sight of himself in the van mirror "I can see my reflection, does that mean I'm not... not... one of you?"

"You have a lot to learn." Raphael said sadly.

"This can't be happening." Simon said as he grasped my wrist. He intended to take me somewhere - Well I presume that's what he was planning to do. but Raphael grabbed his shoulder, "Listen..." which only seemed to anger him more.

"Don't touch me! I don't have a heartbeat! I'm dead." Simon screamed in frustration. The grip he had on my arm was getting tighter and tighter. Okay. This is beginning to hurt now.

"Undead." Raphael replied.

Bad choice of words Raphael. His words only seemed to make Simon madder, "You did this to me."

"No, he didn't Simon. Do you remember: Camille did it..." I asked him softly.

He ignore me and screamed at Raphael, "You're a monster!" But a sudden realisation seemed to come to him, causing him to say, "I'm the monster."

"Look, you gotta get this under control. You are what you are now. We'll get you back to the Hotel DuMort. Get you fed. Show you around your new home." Raphael said placatingly.

At the sound of the place where he died, he spat out, "That place will never be my home." He then did the most un-Simon thing ever. He threw Raphael into the van behind us, causing it to cave under his weight. He went to run away with me again but I stopped him.

"Simon. Someone's attacked the institute and I feel like I have to be there..."

He frantically cut me off, "You don't want to be with me?" He gave me a hurt look as he carried on, "Don't you want to help me? Aren't you my friend?"

"I am your friend Simon. I'll always be your friend but I have responsibilities now. I want to be here with you but I'm being pulled in another direction." I gave him a pleading look, hoping he understood what I was trying to say, "My new guardian told me to not leave the house but I did so I'm not following orders. I have to get back or his magic will pull me back..."

"Magic? Are you staying at-" My eyes widened as I realised the slip up I just made. He can't tell Clary because Clary will tell Jace and he's not supposed to know!
