In my veins »/Raphael Santiago\«

Hypnotic

Clary ran over to the table with Jace, Simon and Afina following, she dumped the rest of the ingredients in the bowl before mixing it up a little and then putting some in a cup to give to Luke

All four ran back over to Luke as Clary fed him the little bit of liquid and immediately everything calmed down

Magnus fell against Alec's chest in exhaustion and Afina kneeled down next to them "are you ok Magnus?" She asked

"I'm fine" he smiled at her before he turned his head back to Alec

Afina stood up to leave and she was out the door when Jace came after her "where were you last night?" He asked

"What do you mean you weren't even at the institute" Afina said shrugging

"Izzy told me your disappeared and you are wearing the same thing from yesterday so you were somewhere else. Where?" He asked again

"Why don't you just worry about yourself or should I say Clary, you've been doing that a lot lately" Afina said half under her breath but Jace still heard

"What's the supposed to mean?" He asked getting annoyed

"I mean you and Alec are in a fight because of this girl, I know she wants to find her mom but that's no reason to lose your parabatai Jace" Afina explained

"You don't know what your talking about" Jace said lowly and Afina scoffed

"Right cause I never know what I'm talking about, screw you. Stop acting like you care about me" Afina turned on her heel and started storming away ignoring the yells from Jace

Afina was about to head to the institute when she was once again stopped but this time by Magnus "you should be resting Magnus" she informed him

"So should you, I know those claw marks won't heal in one day" he said

"They basically have they are just faint scratches now" she ran her fingers over her cheek where she remembered the claw marks were

"Is that why he didn't ask about them?" Magnus asked and Afina turned around

"Who?" She asked playing dumb

"Oh please Afina even if you don't remember, I can read you better then anyone in your family. I know about Raphael" Magnus said and Afina stood silent awaiting the disapproving lecture but it never came "he's looking for you by the way"

"How would you know?" She asked

"I want to make sure your safe, I keep tabs on everyone in your life and I also saw him before you guys came, he's been looking all night and I'm betting he'll keep looking until the sun comes up" Magnus said giving her a small knowing smile before he walked back in and Afina started making her way back to the institute

Afina was about half way to the institute when she was stopped by a voice "Afina!" She slowly turned around to see Raphael

"What are you doing here?" She asked him

"Looking for you! When I went back to my room you weren't there and I started to worry and I wanted to look for you by the sun was still out and I searched everywhere for you! Where were you?" He asked pulling her in a hug relief overwhelmed him as he held her in his arms

"Camille found me, she uh she kicked me out" Afina was contemplating wether she should tell him about the blood but decided against it

"I was so worried" he said pulling away but still keeping her close

"I'm sorry" she said and he caressed her cheek before the adrenaline of finding her kicked in and he leaned in quickly kissing her

She was surprised and it took a minute but eventually she kissed him back

Soon they pulled away from each other and Raphael leaned his head against hers "I have to go the sun will be up soon, please be safe" he said looking into her eyes

"I will" he pecked her on he lips one more time before leaving to the hotel leaving Afina a smiling mess

On the way to the hotel Raphael had time to think about the girl and everything about her made him smile and the fact that he just kissed her and she kissed back made him smile even more

They both went home that night think about the other
