''Who are you?''
''I am many things, but for tonight, I am your knight in shining armor.''
''Really? Doesn't seem like it.''

Chapter Fifteen- The Envoy
Running through the streets of New York during the night was something that Olivia had never liked. And yet, she was still doing it. For Simon.
''Where did he go?'' Clary asked as they continued with their sprinting.
''I don't-'' Olivia paused and came to a halt when she smelled a particular scent leaking into the air. Sniffing loudly and blinking rapidly, she realized what the smell was. Vampires. ''Guys, I think I know where Simon is.''
''Where?''
Instead of replying, Olivia simply turned and ran in the direction of the smell, prompting Jace to instantly run after her and Clary to frown in confusion at the boy's actions. He always worried about Olivia, Clary knew that, but never before had he forgotten about her and focused all of his attention on her older sister.
What was happening?
''Guys, wait up!'' she yelled and then ran after the two.
Olivia led them down the street and then came to a stop in front of a truck when she saw Raphael--who had been thrown against the vehicle by Simon-- getting up on his feet and straightening his jacket. ''I swear if that kid ruins one more jacket....''
''Where is he?" Olivia asked, least bothered by the vampire's jacket. ''Where's Simon?''
''He'll be back,'' Raphael assured in a bored tone.
''You just let him go?'' Jace raised his brows incredulously, ''You said you'd look after him.''

Clary gave Raphael a look. Simon was missing and he looked like he wasn't bothered about it in the slightest. It angered her, to say the least. ''What does that even mean?''
''It means he's where everybody goes when this happens.'' the vampire replied, '' His own personal hell.''
''I did this,'' Clary mumbled, a look of guilt and regret crossing her face as she thought about how badly her decision was affecting Simon. ''I put him there.''
Olivia exhaled and placed her hands on her hips. What was done was done. There was no point in wasting time by repenting about it now.
'' If it helps, he doesn't even remember it was you. Those first minutes....complete blank.'' Raphael said.
''But I have to tell him the truth.'' Clary stated.
''Once you rein him in, he'll be walking, talking proof to the Clave that Camille broke the Accords.....'' Olivia scoffed and rolled her eyes as Raphael continued explaining what she thought was the vampire political system. ''In fact, as a new leader-''
