ISABELLE'S POV:
After my date with Simon we went back to his house to bed. Earlier while we were still on our date, we were done with diner quite early, so we went to the Pandemonium Club. We both liked it so; we thought it was a good place to go. We stayed until about 2:00am, so we were both really tired. Simon had told his mom I would be staying the night, she didn't really care.
We were in his bed getting ready to go to sleep when I herd Simon groan in pain, "what's wrong?" I asked him.
"Nothing." He replied "I'll be right back."
I grabbed his arm as he started to get up. "You know if you're hungry, I'm always here."
"There is no way that I am drinking from my girlfriend again. Do you see what is wrong with that sentence? 'Again'. That is what's wrong. Look, you taste fantastic, but I can't drink from you again."
"Come on I trust you."
"As I've said before, I don't trust me."
"I have enough trust in you for the both of us. Come on, you know you want to," I said I a sing-song voice as I tilted my head so that the veins were facing Simon with no protection. Before I knew it, he was latched onto my neck. I wore a smirk on my face that reminded myself of Jace. I herd footsteps, assuming it was Clary I decided to play dead. I let myself go limp and whispered in Simon's ear, "I'm not actually unconscious. Okay? Okay." I answered myself. I knew he herd me.
But the person that walked in the room was not Clary. It was Mrs. Lewis. She screamed. I could not think what was going through her head, but I know she saw Simon, her son, latched onto my neck. The expression on her face said that she was more than freaked out; she was down-right terrified. She let out another scream. Simon un-latched his mouth from my neck.
"Mom, Mom, it's alright. Sit down on the bed, I will explain everything," he soothed. She went over to the bed, but only because she was afraid her son would suck her dry. "My son's a monster," she said under her breath. This didn't upset Simon, as it would before the change. It scared him that he didn't feel like anything was wrong when his own mother was scared of him. This scared him more than anything he had ever experienced, (and being a rat in a vampire hotel was pretty scary). "I-I-I'm scared," she said shakily.
As I watched I feared more and more that I got Simon into a big mess. He was busy trying to explain the downworld to Mrs. Lewis, and my conscience acted up. This was weird. I had never had this feeling before. I never thought I had a conscience. But there it was. I was feeling guilty, sad, and as though this would never end. Finally, Simon got his Mom to calm down. He told her all about the downworld, and of coarse this took about half an hour, because he explained everything twice, due to Mrs. Lewis' questions.
"Who is Jace again? You got turned into a rat?" and so on. I wasn't really listening, but as soon as she herd name I was hooked on the conversation. I was afraid that Simon was going to pin it on me. But of course, he didn't. Why would he pin it on me? I mea I'm his girlfriend. Right? What if he dumps me because of this? He wouldn't do that? Would he? Again, I was zoned out of the conversation and in a world called my head. Simon moved on to the Shadow World, and Mrs. Lewis kept asking questions. "So the obnoxious one is dating Clary? Wait! Clary's a part of this too? Why didn't I know about this? Where have you been putting all the food? Can Clary eat normally? Or is that just you? How long have you been a vampire?"
Simon responded to all of these questions when Mrs. Lewis was out of breath. (A/N: by the way these answers go all the way to the top of the other paragraph.) "The obnoxious one. Yes, I got turned into a rat before I was a vampire, which is what lead me to being a vampire. Yes, Jace is dating Clary. Yes, Clary is a part of this too, she's a Shadowhunter. Because you would freak out, which by the way, you did. In the garden. Yeah Clary can eat normally; the only-blood thing only applies to vampires. And finally I've been a vampire for two years."
"Two years? That's how long? Don't answer that. How did you answer all of those questions in order, and not miss a single one? The Simon I know could never do that."
"Vampire memory." He replied simply.
"What other things can you do and not do anymore?"
"Well at first I couldn't go out in the light, but I'm not explaining that story now. I can't breath; I don't have a heartbeat, so no more doctors'. I can't eat, which by the way I really miss doing. Sometimes I sucked on you're cooking before I through it out the window, yeah, I miss that. Umm… I think that's it for things I can't do, now things I can do; climb a pole or building like Spiderman, run as far as I want without getting tired, turn others into vampires, which I have no intension of doing, umm… I think that's it. Is there anymore that you can think of Isabelle?"
I snapped my head in their direction as though I had been slapped. "What?" I asked.
"Can you think of anything else that I can do now that I'm a vampire?"
"Well, your one hell of a kisser, that's for sure."
"She's always like that. It means no."
"Okay then, why can you go out in the sun?"
"I'll tell you another day; you've had to deal with a lot today. Oh, and I can tell you're wondering, that was the first ever time I've drank from something that isn't from the butcher. Unless you were born there." He joked. Suddenly, Alec bursts through the door. I noticed that he always seems to be panting when he enters a door without knocking. He was about to speak when I cut him off. "Where's the demon this time?"
"How'd you know? Down by the park, nothing serious, but we think it may have friends." Simon and I rushed out of the room, followed by Simon's mother. "Why is she coming?" Alec asked from behind Mrs. Lewis.
"Huh? Whoa, whoa, whoa, you're not coming. We were trained, well he wasn't," I gestured towards Simon. "But he gained natural fighting skills when he turned. So you're staying." I felt a bit harsh but it didn't matter because she persisted on coming. After about five minutes, because we were in a hurry we let her come, but she had to promise to stay at a good distance. She did. Once we got to the park, we saw a few mundie kids petting a ravoner demon. They must see it as a dog or something I thought.
A second it would turn around and bite them. Any second. We rushed in. "oh there you are …" I thought of a name, "Fido, I've been looking all over for you." I made sure to keep its head away from me. "Thank you kids for protecting my baby." I ran over to the nearest port potty, made sure the kids weren't looking, and entered. I took out my blade, Nico, and stabbed it. As I've seen so many demons do before, it disintegrated. Now I know why Jace was complaining about always being the one to hold the demon while it disintegrates. It feels disgusting!
I got out of the port potty by breaking through the back way, I didn't feel like answering questions from four-year-olds. I wlaked back to the group. "I'm the only one thay does anything, you were just going to let that ravoner demon attack those children! You are heartless! Not you Simon." I gave Alec a furious look. "and you dragged us out here for one ravoner demon! One! I think you could have got that Alec. I pretended I was missing 'Fido' picked it up and stabbed it in the port potty!"
"Well I'm sorry! I herd ravoner demon in the park. I didn't see it! I got a phone call from our parents! I was interrupted on my date with Magnus. Where did he go anyway? He came with me." As if on cue, Magnus came down the road, wearing sparkly disco pants and a loose top, and of coarse he wouldn't be Magnus without glitter in his hair. He carried two ice-cream cones.
"I told you there was only going to be one demon, and not a greater demon, so, I told you s! iu told you so! I told you so! He sounded like a kindergartner. He kept saying that over and over, and just to shut him up Alec went over and kissed him.
"get a room you too!" I complained.
"Do you see any rooms out here other than the port potty? No. no you don't." Alec answered his own question. As if to make alec remember who he was, he turned around looked at some empty space, and zapped his own house to that spot. People ran and screamed.
"Okay Isabelle, if you want us to get a room we did." They headed inside as Alec lectured Magnus on zapping big things in public.
"What do you want to do?" Simon asked me.
"As i8 said before, you're a hell of a kisser, I said and pulled him forward. We kissed passionately, his lips soft, and familiar. Neither of us cared that Simon's mom was watching.
