Don't walk into the light, it's too dark for you there (Phan x Shadowhunters)

"Like A Zombie?"

Not able to move anymore, Dan just stood at the end of the street in terror while this woman sucked all the blood out of his best friend. It took him only a few seconds to realise what was happening but for Dan, it felt like years.

"Hey! Stop!" Dan didn't even know what he was doing. Of course he was a warlock but he had no idea how to properly use his powers yet because his stupid ego did not allow him to actually take lessons from Magnus or just about anyone else.

The girl let go of Phil, her face was covered in blood and Phil, who was laying on the ground, was covered in blood also. He did not move.

"You want to be next?" She looked really scary and Dan did not know what to answer but he turned out that he did not have to answer either.

"Shit. You're lucky that Magnus and Raphael don't trust you." The woman ran away, very fast. Dan didn't know what was happening, what scared her away? It really didn't matter now, Dan ran towards Phil. He did not know what to do.

A few seconds later, he heard steps behind him on the main street.

"MAGNUS!" The steps came closer, someone was running towards him but it wasn't Magnus.

"Oh my." The boy, who was in the Hotel with them, choked.

"Nevermind... What happened?"

"What do you think happened? Phil got attacked by one of your people." The boy leaned over Phil. Obviously he didn't know what to do either.

"Call Magnus, I have an... idea. A possibly very bad idea but it's an idea." Dan got his phone out as he watched the boy tear open his own arm. What is he doing? The boy let his own blood drop into Phil's mouth. That's not how blood transfusions work.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm trying to save his life. Just call Magnus already before it's too late. Tell him to bring Raphael."

"That guy." Dan's voice had a disgusted tone to it but he did as he was told. His hands were shaking but he somehow managed to actually call the right person. Magnus picked up immediately, it barely rang once. Dan tried to explain everything that happened as calm as he possibly could. Magnus and Raphael arrived shortly after the phone call. The boy, who Dan now knew was Simon, still leaned over Phil's lifeless body. Dan was still in shock, a million thoughts were going through his head, none of them were good. It did not help him that Simon wasn't calm at all either, it didn't take Dan long to realise that Simon had not been a vampire for a long time yet either. Dan was actually relieved that Raphael was taking care of it now. Even though he still didn't trust him.

"Simon? Did you see who did this?"

"I have no idea Raphael. Did you see something Dan?" It took Dan a little while to realise that Simon was actually talking to him.

"It was a girl, Phil was talking to her. She mentioned her name but i didn't quite hear it. She had black hair, if that helps." Magnus and Raphael were looking at each other in terror.

"You don't think that was..."

"That's impossible, Raphael. Alec told me she was dead."

"I dont know, I've seen crazier things happen. Whoever it was murdered Phil." Dan could feel his legs go weak. Sure, Phil was lying on the ground without moving any muscle but hearing Raphael say that he's dead, was a different thing.

"I gave him my blood." Raphael did not seem happy about what Simon just said, more like he was about to murder him.

"You did what?"

"I gave him my blood."

"That was a rhetorical question. God I hate young vampires. Have you ever tried thinking? It's good for you."

"I'm sorry, I just thought I should save his life. He is so nice."

"You're an idiot Simon. Well i guess it's up to Dan to decide now. Do you want to safe Phil's life." What kind of question is that?

"Of course, he's my best friend."

"Well it might be worth mentioning that, Raphael left out a little detail, he won't return alive."

"Like a zombie?"

"Sure, when a vampire drinks your blood, you immediately turn into a zombie." For some reason, Dan had the feeling that Magnus was being sarcastic.

"He'd be a vampire Dan. I thought that would be kind of obvious. I need to teach you more about the shadow world."

"I don't care what he'll be. This is all my fault and I want him back. I could've done something and I was too selfish and scared. I don't want him to die thinking that his best friend was a horrible person. That girl over there is already dead because I didn't do anything when he asked me to."
