Chapter 4: Saving Raphael Santiago

No One's Pov

"Lily! Magnus! Alec!" Simon shouted at the top of his lungs. He needed things to be done yesterday and he knew that they were good for the job. And he was proved right because with only a seconds notice from Simon's scream they all were there in a flash. They looked at Simon questioningly but as soon as they saw Clary Fray standing there they knew she was the problem.

"Magnus I need you to portal me, you and Lily to Institute while Alec escorts Clary out of the Hotel and talks to the guests. After that Alec I need you to meet us there"

"Simon what is going on?" Lily wonders outloud.

"Raphael has been taken to the Institute, I don't know the whole story but I'm guessing Clary and them framed him for something"

"We did" Clary spoke meekly. Everyone turned to her and with dark, terrifying looks she confessed her crime.

"We convinced the Clave that Raphael kidnapped and killed you, not Camille. His trial is starting right now and if things go the way we wanted them to he's going to be executed"

"That's impossible. The Clave has to notify the defendent before the trial that they're being persecuted and in every Downworlder case they cannot start a trial without defense for the defendent!" Magnus explained/exclaimed.

"We told them that Alec had informed Raphael of the situation since all other Shadowhunters had been banned from the Hotel" Clary announced quietly. The looks they were shooting her got harsher, she was digging herself further and further into her own grave.

"That's it Clary, it's one thing to do this to Raphael and I but bringing Alec into this, putting him in the middle plus trying to get my mate killed is the last straw. Clarissa Fray, as Second in Command of the New York Vampire Clan and The Representative of Leader Raphael Santiago I hereby place a kill order on your head. If any of my clan see you tresspassing on our land after today they have the right to attack you on sight. The fate of your accomplices Isabelle Lightwood and Jace Wayland will later be determined. Alec, please show her out of the Hotel and we will see you shortly. Magnus, Lily, let's go"

Magnus opened the portal without words and they walked through, Simon never looking back to see Clary break down completely. She finally knew that she had gone too far and in doing so lost Simon forever. When they reached the other side Magnus led them running to the room where he was sure they were holding Raphael's trial. Tossing the guards at the door to the side like ragdolls Simon burst into the room.

"Stop this!" Simon called out to the room which caused a chain reaction of shocked gasps and surprised murmurs. But he didn't care about them, he only had eyes for Raphael whom he made eye contact with within seconds.

"Simon" He whispered loudly so full of surprised happiness and love. Simon ran towards him and flung himself into his mates waiting arms, they clutched each other tightly as if they were trying to fuse together forever. When they finally pulled apart Simon looked over his fiance, searching for any signs of bruising or abuse.

"Are you okay? Did they hurt you Raph?" Simon asked worriedly, even though he found no indication of any foul play.

"I'm fine mi corazon, I'm just so glad to see you. How did you know?"

"I went to your room and found a letter, it said that you were leaving me and it nearly killed me. But for once I never gave up hope and I figured it out. And that's when Clary showed up" They both growled at that word, it was dirt to them now.

"She confessed Raphael, she told us everything and we came straight here" Lily spoke as she moved to greet her leader and oldest friend. They embraced and then Lily moved aside to make room for Magnus to step in.

"You should have seen him Raphael, Simon took charge and placed a kill order on her. He will be a fine leader for the clan" All three of them looked at Simon proudly and Simon would have blushed if he could.

"I never doubted that for a moment old friend" Raphael said to Magnus but never looked away from Simon.

"What is the meaning of this?!" a voice called from the front of the room. It was the Inquisitor who has risen from her seat out of rage because of the outsiders (Magnus, Lily, Simon) interrupting her trial. Simon realized this so he stepped up to address her.

"Madame Inquisitor my name is Simon Lewis and I am here to stop this trial. If I cannot persuade you to release Raphael Santiago back to me then Lily Chen and I will glady testify on his behalf. And if you decide to proceed then Magnus Bane as agreed to be his counsil" Lily and Magnus nodded in comfirmation when the Inquisitor looked to them for their agreement.

"So you're the mundane that Raphael Santiago stands accused of kidnapping and killing" She stated.

"That's correct but the key word is accused and the accusations against him are completely false. Camille Belcourt is the one responsible for my abduction and murder"

"If she is truly the one who committed these crimes then why is she not the one standing trial?" She directed to Simon coldy, declaring in her own way that she is skeptical and untrustworthy of what Simon is telling her. Simon squeezed Raphael's hand, a silent signal for help and he took the hint and dropped the ball.

"Madame Inquisitor this whole thing was a setup. Three Shadowhunters named Clarissa Fray, Isabelle Lightwood and Jace Wayland lied to the Clave and put this whole thing in motion just to get rid of me"

"And what interest would three of finest Shadowhunters we have to offer have in getting rid of you? What value do you hold?" Simon hissed at the insult she gave his mate and she gave him a momentary questioning look before turning back to Raphael.

"It's because of my relationship with Simon Lewis, they disapprove and do not understand it. They believe us being together is wrong and that I've corrupted him to be with me and go against them, they believe that I've forced him to be in this relationship with me. In their eyes the only way to get Simon back is for me to be out of the way and out of his life for good. Today was their last chance to get rid of me without causing Simon the most pain"

"How was today their last chance?" The Inquisitor asked now becoming intruiged. Raphael was ready to respond but before he could Lily and Magnus made a move. They walked forward and each placed a ring in the Inquisitors hand who stared down at them with shock and amazement.

"Simon and Raphael were suppose to get married today. If you're Shadowhunters hadn't kidnapped Raphael and tried to convince Simon he broke up with him then we all would be celebrating right now. You need to take action against the right people here lady" Lily spoke angry and growling at her. Simon carefully pulled her away and calmed her down.

"How do I know that this is true? How can you prove to me that this isn't a trick?"

"Like this" Simon and Raphael said in unison and together they revealed their mating bites which caused another wave of surprised gasps, even the Inquisitor was stunned by this new development.

"That's all I need, Raphael Santiago you are free to go. We will find Camille Belcourt and she wil be put on trial, and someone find and bring me Fray, Lightwood and Wayland!"

"Wait!" Alec shouted as he finally appeared. Magnus ran to hug his boyfriend while the Inquisitor stared hotly as the elder Lightwood.

"Alexander Lightwood, did you have anything to do with this?" She demanded. Alec approached her and began to speak.

"No I did not, I've been trying to stay neutral during this whole situation but my family kept bringing me into it while my friends did everything they could to keep me out. And after the stunt they pulled today they made me choose a side and I stand with Simon and Raphael. Simon asked me to come and I came, I also came to tell you that the vampires had Camille in their custody but months ago the Shadowhunters in question broke her out, killing a guard in the process because she made the tools to release Jocelyn Fairchild. In fact that's when this all start, Clary Fray asked Simon to betray Raphael so they could get Camille but he refused and told him the truth. Not too long after they revealed their relationship to use and that's when it all started to fall apart and why we are here today"

"Thank you Alexander. This court is now adjourned!" She banged the gavel and the whole room erupted in cheers which surprised the gang but they were too happy to care about anything else. They all left the court room together, glad and hopeful that this was all over.

"Let's go get married" Simon whispered in Raphael's ear. He responded with a big grin and a kiss on the cheek.

"Nothing will ever stop me from marrying you again"
