The Lost Lightwood

Chapter 12

A/N: This is the last chapter that's like the TV show before it goes into my own story!

---------------------------------------------

      They were all going to Pandemonium to hunt down a Greater Demon. Amelia had planned to meet with Raphael so she texted him telling him to meet her at Pandemonium instead as she couldn't get out of this.
      They had all left Pandemonium by now, after they successfully sent the Greater Demon back to hell, they stayed at the club for a bit. They were walking along a boardwalk now, which looked out onto the ocean. Izzy, Alec, Jace, Evie and Clary walked ahead and Amelia and Raphael were walking behind, just the two of them.
      Raphael scanned his eyes over Amelia's body. She didn't seem to realise he was looking as she was looking out at the ocean. He realised she was wearing a short, black, stretchy dress that stopped mid-thigh and black heels. The dress showed off the runes on her arms, chest and neck. The heels made her legs look longer, not that they weren't long already. The dress fit the shape of her body perfectly. Raphael couldn't help but notice that the dress kept sliding further up Amelia's thighs as they walked along. If he was still human, he would have blushed but he didn't and this he thought is one of the perks of being a vampire. He started to feel hot and flushed, if that was even possible for a vampire, as he looked over Amelia's body. She was perfect and beautiful. Was he meant to think of his best friend like this? He knew that he cared deeply for her but he didn't know if he had feelings for her. It confused him.
      "So, since when do you wear dresses?" He asked.
      Amelia looked at him and laughed a little. That beautiful, song-like laugh.
      "Well Isabelle bought me it. It's literally the only dress I own. Along with the heels." Amelia explained. "Izzy said I needed one for getting into clubs and parties when we hunt demons there so I gave in eventually and when she bought the dress, she threw in the heels too."
      "It suits you." Raphael smiled.
      "It's a little short though." Amelia said as she pulled the dress down her thighs.
      "No, it's the perfect length." Isabelle linked arms with Amelia. "Don't you think Raphael?"
      "I, uh, I don't know." Was all he could say and he mentally face-palmed himself.
      Isabelle just smirked and unlinked arms with Amelia, going to join the others. She linked arms with Alec and they carried on the conversation she had left.
      Amelia shivered a little and Raphael, realising she was cold, shrugged his jacket off and rested it on her shoulders. Amelia looked at him and smiled. She gave him a look that said thank you and put her arms through the sleeves. The sleeves were too long for Amelia's arms and stopped at her fingertips. She curled her fingertips over the edges of the sleeves and cuddled into the jacket, trying to get warm. Raphael watched her and he wanted so badly to put and arm around her waist but that was a couples thing, he thought, it would be too weird.

      They arrived at the institute and the group walked in, leaving Amelia and Raphael stood outside together, alone.
      "Sorry this wasn't exactly the night you planned." Amelia said. "I'll make it up to you."
      "No it's quite alright." Raphael smiled and Amelia smiled back.
      "I'd better get inside before Maryse comes out and grabs me by the ear and drags me inside." Amelia laughed. "Ok that was an over exaggeration but you know what she's like." Amelia laughed again as she shrugged off Raphael's jacket and held it out to him. He wanted to tell her to keep it but once again, he thought it was too much of a couples thing so he took it and shrugged it back on. The scent of Amelia's perfume lingered on the fabric. Amelia hugged him tightly and he hesitated before resting his hands on the small of Amelia's back, holding her tiny body against his. He could feel the warmth radiating off her body. She let go and waved at him.
      "Goodnight!" She said before walking inside.
      "Night." He replied and she smiled, shutting the institute doors behind her.
      Raphael sighed. He didn't exactly know what it was he felt anymore. Did he have feelings for his best friend or were they just super close friends? All he knew was that he cared for her deeply and if something were to happen to her, he'd tear down the world until she was ok again.
