A/n so this has been sitting on my desktop for awhile and I relly don't know why I didn't finish like the last fifty words so anyways… here it is. Btw no grammar check for today my greatest apologies

I wandered the back roads for awhile, not knowing where else to go really. I didn't want to go home, I couldn't face Liz and Everette after I freaked out at them, Jace hated me and probably had already told everyone else what I did, and Raphael…. Don't get me started on him. I sighed, I'd have to go home eventually… why not now?

I headed home, I was closer than I had expected. I paused with my hand on the door knob realizing I still couldn't face them. I walked around to the back of the house and climbed up the trellis. I tried to be careful since it was almost ancient. I was about three quarters of the way up when I grabbed a piece and pulled myself up. The piece broke and I let out a small scream before I grabbed different pieces with both hands praying that they wouldn't break. The pieces cracked, but I was safe… for now. I felt a window open above me and swore knowing it would be Liz ready to give me piece of her mind.

"Liz I…" I trailed off as I looked up and didn't see Liz at the window, but someone else. That someone else was Raphael.

"What are you doing here? In my room?" I asked him.

"Why are you climbing up the trellis. Why didn't you just use the front door?" he asked me like it was an obvious question.

"hmmm, well, maybe because Liz and Everette probably hate me because of you." Right after I said it I regretted it. I just needed someone to blame right now, even if it wasn't true.

I got to the window and Raphael reached out to help me in. I just pushed his hand away and climbed in by myself. I headed over to where my stuff was thrown around in the corner from when I was looking in my suitcase and I began to repack.

Raphael turned to look at me.

"You know, it's my fault." Raphael told me.

He was right, and I think that's what irritated me most. I grabbed a hairbrush from the bag I was packing and turned around throwing it as hard as I could at his face. He caught it easily which angered me more.

"I KNOW THAT!" I yelled at him, not being able to keep my anger and emotions in any more.

Raphael stayed calm "rose, please calm down. I-"

I cut him off before he finished what he was saying.

"I DON'T WANNA CALM DOWN! WHAT I WANT IS FOR YOU TO BE OUT OF MY FUCKING LIFE SO IT CAN GO BACK TO NORMAL!" I screamed at him. HE didn't say anything so I carried on with my rant "I DON'T WANT THESE DAMN EMOTIONS I'VE GOT SINCE YOU CAME ALONG! I JUST WANNA KILL THE BASTARDS THAT ARE FUCKING UP THE SYSTEM THE CLAVE MADE." I was pretty sure I hadn't took a breath during my whole rant. As I caught my breath, I waited for Raphael to tell me that it was ridiculous and he wouldn't leave. He didn't do any of those things. He stared at me for a moment then turned and left. Did I really blame him? I know I would have left too if someone screamed at me about how they wanted me gone. Raphael left without a word, I stayed strong until I heard the front door slam shut. I couldn't help it but break down into tears.

~three days later~

I had seen Raphael since that night and I wasn't surprised. You could only take someone telling you to leave so many times. It was funny. When I Told him to leave and meant t, he stayed, but when I told him to leave but wanted the opposite he finally listened. I grabbed the neatly packed bag from the corner of my room and Wrote a note telling Liz and Everette I was going home so they didn't worry. With that I left. This house just had way too many bad memories. I walked to where the portal was trying to avoid anyone I knew. I saw Jace and Clary walking past and quickly ducked my head hoping they wouldn't notice me. I was lucky, they didn't see me. As I went through the portal, I thought of the cabin and that's where I appeared. Everything was exactly the same as before we had left. I grabbed the red marker and made an 'X' over Damen's face.

I stepped back to observe the wall. Red X's scattered the wall.

"1 down 100 more to go" I whispered.

The wall was full by at least that many and theres were a ton more easy cases in the filing cabinet. That's where I started. I worked through every file. I only ate or slept when it was necessary. It only took a few weeks t get through all the easy cases, so I started on the ones on the wall. Liz, Everette and I promised not to do any of them without each other and I was breaking that right now. I grabbed a file from the wall. IT was another vampire. What was with me and picking vampires? His name was Seth Lillit. IT turns out he was an accomplice of Damens, but he disappeared. Recently he had been seen in pandemonium.

Once again, I found myself putting on make up to cover up my runes and dress up for the club. I hailed a taxi and gave the driver pandemonium's address. I stared out the window as the taxi driver drove. I had a bad feeling in my stomach, but it wasn't enough to stop me. The taxi dropped me off at the club and I went in. The feeling got worse, but it was too late to stop now. I flirted with random guys and danced to the music trying to blend in. I noticed Seth across the room and walked over to him. Our eyes connected for a moment and he winked before someone stepped into my path. I looked up and saw Raphael.

"what the hell are you doing here?" I asked him.

"saving you." He replied and grabbed my arm pulling me out of the club.

Seth walked over to us "Is this guy bothering you?" He asked me.

Raphael turned to him "you should leave now before you make a scene." he growled.

Seth saw it was Raphael and backed up "sorry Raphael. I didn't know she was yours." He looked back at me and winked with a smug smile on his face. "have fun."

I pulled free from Raphael's grip and punched Seth hard in the face before he could blink. Fights broke out all the time so nobody really looked.

"What the hell?" he yelled and tried to swing at me again. I grabbed his arm and flipped him onto his back. He was up in an instant but Raphael grabbed one of his arms and hauled him out a back door. I followed behind as Raphael talked.

"Seriously Rose! Why are you always getting yourself in trouble? I let you go take down all those demons and down worlders these last few weeks because they were easy! But trying something harder by yourself? I thought you were smarter than that!"

"I would have been fine if you hadn't came and ruined it all." I told him.

Raphael stopped to look at me. "Rose, you can't even run in those heels."

I rolled my eyes "I wouldn't have to run, he'd be dead first."

"What if he had back up?"

"I hadn't thought of that." I said reluctantly. Of course he thought of everything.

"That's right, you didn't think of everything." He said and pushed Seth forward. "Today's your lucky day now go."

I sighed "I'm sorry, Raphael." It was partly for being stupid, partly for everything that happened in Allicante, and partly for what I was about to do.

I slipped a blessed chakran off my wrist and through it as I called Seths name. He turned just in time for the chakran to cut his neck.

Raphael gave me a look "was that necessary?"

I nodded "yes it was. Am I forgiven… for everything?"

Raphael sighed like he almost wanted to say no but he nodded. "you're forgiven."

~5 months later~

I walked to the hotel Dumont. Raphael was supposed to meet me in the cabin before we went to Magnus' apartment. He was having a party for some of his closest friends. I banged on one of the side doors, not afraid of the vampires. They all knew Raphael would rip them to shreds if they tried to touch me. He wouldn't have to since I would first. One of the newer vampires, I think her name was Christine, answered the banging

"what do you want shadowhunter?" she asked me. I

"Is raphael here?" I asked.

She shook her head "nah, he left awhile ago saying he was running an errand or something." She said and swiftly slammed the door.

I rolled my eyes and turned running right into someone. I looked up and saw that someone was Raphael, he was holding something behind his back.

"Whatcha hiding?" I asked him, my curiosity getting the better of me.

"no hello?" he chuckled.

I rolled my eyes "Hello… now are you going to tell me?"

Raphael's chuckle turned into a laugh and he pulled out a bouquet of flowers from behind his back, roses to be exact.

"Roses for my rose." He said with a smile and handed me the bouquet.

I grinned and stood up on my tip toes to kiss him on the cheek. "why thankyou. Very cheesy, but I love it all the same." I told him.

He smiled "I hoped you would."

A/N sadly this is the last chapter, but the good news is it doesn't stop here. This whole story was kinda like a prelude thingy for The adventures of shadowhunters and friends. A story written by me and the loverly Lightwood and Fray. So anyways read it cause it's the bomb.
