City of Secrets

Chapter 12

Hi guys, I hope you enjoy this chapter :) 

Warning: there is implied rape in this chapter. 

A few hours later Jordan had fallen asleep and had his arm possessively tight around Simon's waist. Simon was trying everything he could to get out of Jordan's hold but the restraints made it impossible. Simon missed Jace and his friends so much and hoped they were going to save him. Being with Raphael made Simon realize how much he missed him too. Simon had been so happy with Raphael. Simon tried to make the memory of the day it all went terribly wrong disappear but the memory was very stubborn and flashed before his eyes.

1 year ago...

Simon had been enjoying some precious time off, he rarely got any thanks to his clients and the Clave. He had wanted to spend it with Raphael, but he was worried about what Camille was up to. Camille didn't make it a secret that she wanted Simon back and Raphael was afraid that she was planning something big to get him. So Raphael was with Camille at the hotel and Simon had decided to catch up on episodes of The Flash that he had missed. But knocking on his door made Simon groan with annoyance and pause the episode. Simon felt a wave of fear when after checking with magic that he saw that it was Raj, Simon didn't want to open the door for him but he knew Raj would just get him in big trouble with the Cave which would have terrible consequences for him. When Simon opened the door Raj was smirking and raking his eyes up and down his body like he always did and Simon shuddered, Simon glared at Raj.

"What do you want?"

"I need you to make a potion for me".

"This was supposed to be my time off".

Raj scoffed, "Warlocks shouldn't get time off".

Simon wanted to argue but knew that too would get him in trouble so he reluctantly let that comment slide, "Fine just let me get my coat and supplies". The Clave didn't trust Simon so they made him make his potions at the institute where he could be watched and captured more easily if he was plotting against them. It made Simon so hurt and angry, he would never do that but they never believed him when he told them this.

"Oh you don't need to make it at the institute. Just make it here".

Simon crossed his arms defensively, "The Clave wouldn't like that and I don't want you in my apartment".

"They don't have to know. If you don't let me in, I'll tell the Clave that you tried to kill me. You know they would never believe you and I'm sure you haven't forgotten what they are capable of".

Simon flinched and looked away, Raj had been there when the Clave had tortured and experimented on him. In fact Raj had happily joined in and was constantly trying to find reasons for Simon to be strapped back on the table again. Raj's friends who hated Simon because of being a warlock tried to help Raj, but thankfully Jace and the others protected him and made sure Raj was never successful. Simon loved them so much, he wished they were here now but he knew they were on an important mission and he couldn't take them away from it. "Come in", Simon said in defeat.

Raj's smirk widened and he banged into Simon hard when he came in making Simon wince in pain. Simon closed the door and made himself turn to Raj. He backed away when he realized how close Raj had been to him. Raj was always like this with him and he hated it. Raj would find excuses to touch him and hold him even when he knew Simon didn't want him to. Simon had tried to stop him but he always used the threat of reporting false crimes to the Clave and Simon knew the Clave would believe Raj over him. "So um... what potion did you want me to make?"
