Soulmate For The Soulless

Nightmares

Screaming and crying wishing someone would save him, no not someone but Raphael. He prayed to any god that would listen to stop the pain. Pain like something had crawled into his body and made its self at home where his heart used to be only to then claw and bite its way out. Its a nightmare, its just a scary dream and he hopes he'll wake up soon but...he doesn't. The beast tears him apart not leaving a shred to even identify. Blood sprays and organs fly and Simon finds himself looking at his own undead heart. Looking at his own heart was unbelievable. To think he had let his brain over take this amazing organ that had only tried to guide him but he turned it away in disgrace. Now the love of his life's name would leave a bitter taste  on his tongue because he chose to turn them away. Not because of pride or interest in someone else but because of their gender.

Shaking and feeling as if his soul, or at least what was left of it, was being pulled from his body until he heard it. An angle calling his name or maybe a demon with a sickly sweet voice and as if he were a crying child this voice lulled him to sleep. Feeling nightmares creep away only leaving reality to which he would later refer to as "The Day I kicked deaths butt...again!". Unfortunately in this moment he didn't feel like he was going to be kicking any butt anytime soon. Simon tried to move give the voice a sign as it called his name but pain now lacing its voice. Simon could feel a cold hand laced in his and that's when he realised. This was no demon or angle and he wasn't going to die because that voice was Raphael.

*Flash back* 

Raphael let the blood leak from his wrist to the man laying by his knees. The thought of losing the new born vampire was making his stomach flip and acid grow in his throat. Gently moving his wrist away and laying Simon into his lap he began to sing, a lullaby his mother had once sung to him. His only comfort on his darkest nights alone but now the song was sad and desperate. Raphael new that the moment Simon awoke he would run because he was fearful of what Simon might say. He may cry monster and try to run but somewhere deep inside Raphael he wished more then anything that this would never happen. Simon had become still now and Magnus's magic had stopped. Looking down at the boy in his lap he let a tear fall, he would cry tonight not for a friend or a fellow vampire but for a love he could never have.

*End of flashback*

Simon let out a small wimpier as he let his fingers slowly curl around the hand in his. The ending of a Spanish lullaby lingering in the air. Because Simon was so weak he couldn't move anymore then a few fingers but Raphael's blood had given him the last bit of fight to raise his hand and wipe away the stray tear running down Raphael's perfectly sculpted face. "Simon?" Shock and happiness ran through Raphael as he quickly gathered the battered boy into his arms dispite Simon's hissing in pain. Simon tries to sit up but finds himself sliding still feeling weak so Raphael lets him lean against his chest. 

The sun started to pour through the windows and Raphael was told to take Simon to his room. Raphael abliged only to insure the fledglings safety of course. After laying SImon on the bed with a glass of crimson liquid perched to his lips. Raphael stood watching as the fledgling regained his stregth. Simon sat up and looked over to Raphael then proceded to pat the bed next to him. Although Raphael had rolled his eyes he moved onto the bed.

"You came? I thought you wanted me dead." Raphael turned to him and lost himself for a moment as he looked into Simon's brown eyes. That is why when Raphael began to speak he hadn't realised he was speaking Spanish until he looked up to see Simon's blank face. "Dios, te quería muerto. Traicionaste a los de tu clase y me hiciste daño ... pero no puedo evitar querer cuidar de ti bebé. Eres nuestro hijo de puta. Nunca podríamos lastimarte. ¡Nunca podría lastimarte!"This is why when Raphael began to speak he hadn't realised he was speaking Spanish until he looked up to see Simon's blank face. "Um...what?" Simon's blissfulness made Raphael smile before it turned to his normal scowl. "Are you a fool?! Why were you outside when Camille is loose and a demon war is raging?!" 

Raphael continued to rant and pace up and down until Simon had finally had enough. Standing in front of Raphael and gripping his shoulders. "Why are you here Raph?" Raphael raised his eyebrow at the nickname that he hadn't heard since Simon left. "I came to..." Raphael looked at Simon's awaiting eyes and then shook off the situation and straightened up. "I came to make sure Magnus could deal with such a stupid fledgling." Simon let his hands drop from Raphael's shoulders and stared at the ground.  "Please leave or kill me. I don't want to see you anymore Raphael. I may have betrayed my clan but I don't deserve torture from the likes of you." Raphael's grew wide as Simon looked up fangs bared and eyes flashing with anger. 

Run. Run as far as you can until you are home but where is home when your heart is dead and your brain is torn between loyalty and love. Raphael ran back to the hotel only to sit in his room and remember the look on Simon's face. Pain, hate and fear and now Raphael felt as if someone had sat him in front of the blaring sun because his skin burned with the memory of Simon's touch. He would not sleep tonight although Simon would but only to feel himself being torn apart again but now with Camille laughing at him as it happened.  

Bolting up right from his bed just as the moon came through the gap in the curtain he looked up to see a figure in the distance. He squinted but he had not completely adjusted to his vampire scenes and the dark made the character unrecognisable. So he called a name and prayed that the figure would move towards him and hold him again like he had once done. "Raphael?" A giggle escaped the figure making Simon aware that it was a female but his mind still ran with the thought of the undead love of his life. Slowly the figure moved and Simon felt panic over take his body and he flinched away as the all to familiar face grinned at him. 

Crying in a dark room curled into a ball he spoke to himself, almost praying. "It's just a nightmare. Come on, wake up Simon!" A figure moved towards him and smiled with a sickly sweet smile. "Oh honey you can keep hoping that this is a nightmare but I'm all to real. I just hope your boyfriend comes running to the rescue of his baby fledgling. Now look me in the eye! You will great your sire with respect!" Taking a perfectly painted red nail she dug her name into Simon's chest as he screamed for mercy. Beautiful red crimson spilt over Simon's body and the began to heal only to leave 'Camille' scared onto him. 

Our once peaceful and innocent Simon now lay in his own blood but not a mark was left on his body, even the scare of that bitter name had faded. Camille had plans for the boy and she would insure that her name would forever stain his body and mind. Simon looked up at the small window above him and prayed the sun would take his life before the monster stood before him. He prayed that this was all a nightmare and that he would wake up in bed again crying the one name that was safe to him. In one last attempt to wake himself from this cruel strugle inside his mind he whispered a name. "Raphael."

Duerme ahora mi hijo y sueña dulce.

Deseo que mañana tenga más.

 Cuando despiertes estaré a tu lado. 

Duerme ahora mi hijo y sueña dulce
