Adalind Schade :Bloodlines

Chapter 1

Adalind always survived she was a survivor, she found ways to make people around her protect her. This time it was different. There was more than just the need to survive. There was a need to be loved and to love someone.

Adalind Schade sat in her living room looking outside at the vast world that lay in front of her. She wondered what more she had to face. Life as a hexenbiest was suppressed to help someone who took away her child and ofcourse to have that person protect her. But thinking back she wondered whether suppressing her hexenbiest was done due her situation need or did she feel pangs of guilt thats why?. She was now a normal human being, with a child on the way.

'Maybe it wont be as eventful as it did with Diana' she thought to herself. She felt a chill run up her spine as she remembered that it could be worse because this child is a grimm the very essence of Wesen extinction. Her thoughts were broken by a knock on the front door. She got off the armchair with alot of effort and made her way to the door.

"Goodmorining , your groceries you ordered are here." Adalind smiled as she let him in with three bag of groceries. She went to get him a tip, thinking about the possibility of the man probably being a Wesen and sent to kidnap her. She smiled to herself " I am just being paranoid" No Wesen will dare knowing that a grimm was protecting her. She tuned around and saw the delivery guy standing in the hallway smiling at her. He moved towards her, she felt her heart thudding as the deafing silence filled the house, his hand reached out she was ready to scream and then he took the tip.

"You have a good day " he smiled as he walked out the front door. Adalind quickly closed the front door but jumped at the sound of the phone ringing. It was Nick.

"Hi Nick" she managed to say

"Are you okay? You sound out of breath"

"Yes I am fine, just difficult to get around when your as pregnant as me" she chuckled

"How's the job search coming along?"

"I am getting somewhere, I hope." Adalind loved the fact that she had someone who cared about her, about her hoped that this wouldn't end, because she needed it right now more than ever.

"I will see you later for dinner" and he hung up

"Ok" she realized that the only reason Nick Burkhardt was with her was because of their child not because he loved her, he still didnt trust her. She was just a vessel carrying the grimm baby, their baby. She went to the kitchen to put away the groceries. Nick had found her a place where she would be safe, even though Juliette was gone he didn't want anyone knowing where she was. Adalind knew that living in Nick's home which he shared with Juliette would be too painful for him because of the memories it held, even though Juliette had done what she did to Nick's mom and to the trailer, she was still his love.

Hank looked at Nick he was deep in thought about everything that had happened.

"How you doing?" Hank asked keeping his eyes on Nick.

"Huh?" "I am okay" Nick said keeping his eyes on his computer screen.

"You know I am here for you Nick..if you want to talk"

"Yes I know, thanks Hank" Nick said

"Nick, we have a body" said Hank

"Where is it?" asked Nick

"Williamette river waterfront park trail" Nick and Hank grab their jackets and headout the door.

They arrive at the crime scene, the place has police and spectators, yellow crime tape block the public from entering the see a body sprawled face down in the wet mud and grass.
