The Siren and the Vampire [Raphael Santiago]

SEVEN

Serena was walking through the hotel, when she felt her stomach rumble. "Oh god. Not now." She walked into another room where she had seen Camille earlier. "Hey, do you know where I cou-" Then, she saw it.

Simon and Camille were on the couch, making out. Serena felt as if she was going to throw up, She immediately turned around, and put her hands on the sides of her head. "Oh, god. Get it out of my head." Camille sat up and turned her head. Simon just looked at Camille. "What do you want?" Serena turned to face Camille. "I was coming in here to ask if you know where I can get something to eat. But, never mind." Camille rolled her eyes, and narrowed her eyes. "Go ask Raphael. I'm busy." Serena sighed, and walked away.

Serena walked through the halls some more when she heard two people speaking. She immediately recognised the voices as Izzy and Alec. She walked towards the door. "Izzy, Alec." She whispered through the door. Izzy and Alec stopped talking. Then, she heard Izzy's voice. "Serena?" Serena looked around. "Guys, I could use your help." Alec spoke up. "We're coming." Serena sighed in relief, then turned around. There was a group of vampires. Serena cocked her head to each side, then started walking.

While she walked, she lifted her hand, and the group of vampires, unaware of what was going on, separated. Once she got through the group, she turned around to face them. "Telekinesis." Then, she turned around and walked away.

Serena ran to the room where she had last seen Simon only to see Raphael grab Simon and hold a knife at his throat. He noticed her. "Come here." Serena walked over to them, and Raphael grabbed her arm. "Let go of me." Raphael gestured towards the door, and Serena looked to see the Shadowhunters walking towards them. Raphael let go of her wrist.

"Simon! Serena!" Clary extended her blade, and Raphael put the knife on Simon's throat. "Put it away. I've had more than enough of your friends for one day. I'd love to cut his throat. Don't give me a reason. Put it away!" Clary put away her blade, and Raphael turned to Serena. "Open the door." Serena raised her arm, and the door opened. Raphael started walking, while holding Simon. "Come on, let's go! Up here now! That's right, get down there now! Get down there or I'll kill him right now!" Clary backed up. "Look, we're not gonna hurt you. We just want Simon and Serena."

Raphael glared at Clary. "I'm glad you do. We don't! We wanted you." Clary stepped forward. "Well, here I am." Jace held her back. "Stop!" Raphael rolled his eyes. "I said "wanted." Not my idea. Now, get out! Go!" Clary stood still. "Not without Simon and Serena." Raphael closed his eyes. "Shut up! Open that door right now or I'll kill him right here." Jace grabbed Clary. "Listen to him!" Clary looked at Jace. "But Simon will die if..." Jace pulled her back. Raphael put SImon in front of him to block the sunlight. "I'll give him to you on one condition." Clary sighed. "What?"

"The Siren stays here." Clary looked confused. "There are no Sirens here." Serena raised her hand. "I'm the Siren." Clary's jaw dropped. Serena walked towards Clary. "Go to my parents. Tell them everything. Tell them I'm okay. That I don't need rescuing." Clary nodded, and Simon walked towards Clary. Together, they all exited the building, leaving Serena alone with Raphael.
