Hi guys, I hope you enjoy this chapter :) 

I'm thinking of writing a couple of prequels about Simon's life before City of Secrets and Alec's before he discovers the Shadow World. 

Warning: there is attempted rape in this chapter. 


Meanwhile in an unknown location...

Robert sighed as he sat down on the sofa. His anger and hatred towards Maryse and Simon increased every day, how dare they take Alec away from him? He was going to make them wish they had never been born. Robert didn't want Isabelle and Max, they had betrayed him as much as Maryse had and he was going to make them pay too. Robert's dark thoughts were interrupted when Valentine joined him on the sofa and wrapped an arm around his waist. Robert felt his mood lighten a bit and leaned his head against Valentine's shoulder.

"We'll get Alec back", Valentine said comfortingly.

"I don't trust Camille to give us Simon though, you know how obsessed with him she is".

"Well we'll just send Jonathan to get him, he's just as angry as us and has been wanting to have some fun with that filthy warlock".

"What shall we do about Maryse, Isabelle and Max? They will be well protected at the Institute".

"Leave them to me", Valentine said with a grin. He hated them for hurting Robert so much and he wouldn't rest until they answered for their crime. He missed seeing Robert smile and he was willing to do anything to get him to smile again. He and his son missed Alec too and wanted their family back together so badly. They would have to get Alec on their side though and Valentine grinned as a plan formed in his mind that would get Alec to be their ally and make Simon pay at the same time.


Simon tried to stay calm, but Camille was staring longingly at him and it scared him. The others put Simon behind them and he could see Magnus trying to get Alec to go behind them too but Alec refused to.

"Raphael, put Lightwood and the Shadowhunters in the cells and give Simon to me now!" Camille yelled, furious that Raphael had taken Simon from her.

"No! That's not happening, I don't work for you anymore", Raphael said. He had stayed with Camille so he could keep an eye on her for Simon. But he couldn't stand to be with her anymore and he couldn't let her have Simon.

"What?" Camille screeched.

"You heard me, Raphael said and stepped closer to Simon, "Portal us out now".

Simon nodded his heart warming at the fact that Raphael was still siding with them. He was in the process of creating a portal when he suddenly felt a knife on his neck making him stop.

"It's been too long Simon, I've missed you so much", A voice purred in Simon's ear making Simon squeeze his eyes shut in pain. He knew that voice far too well, it was Heidi. She was just as obsessed with him as Camille was and along with a few of Camille's most trusted clan members had helped kept Simon prisoner in Camille's mansion. They were all rewarded by being allowed to do whatever they wanted to Simon and he was still plagued with those nightmares. The others whipped around and glared furiously at Heidi.

"Let Simon go!" Jace yelled.

Heidi stepped back bringing Simon with her making Simon panic, "I don't think so".

Jace growled and tried to come closer, but Heidi pushed the knife harder into Simon's neck drawing out some blood. Raphael put his arm in front of Jace to stop him moving any closer which caused Jace to glare at him, but Raphael just ignored him.
