Adalind Schade :Bloodlines

Chapter 3

"Rosalee, is there anything we have to get Adalind back?" asked Nick looking at Adalind's cold lifeless stare.

"This is nothing like I have ever seen before." Rosalee said.

"Is something like how Juliette was when she was in a coma?" Asked Monroe

"No, this seems different. The fact that her eyes are open is like she is looking at us." Said Rosalee, wiping Adalind's forehead.

"We need to do something" said Nick "Lets call Renard, he knew what the Gyllou was."

"But is this related to what happened to our two victims?" Asked Hank

"I sure hope not but if it is I am not taking any chances" said Nick as he dialled Renard's number.

"Renard here, what is it Nick?"

"Renard could you come over to the spice shop. Something is wrong with Adalind"

"I'm on my way"

"You thought that you could forget what you have done in the past and move on with life. My life that was meant for me!" screamed the green eyed demon

"I never meant for all that happened. I didn't know it was going to happen. You all took away my child, I was lost, hurt and alone." Said Adalind looking into the eyes of a demon filled with hate and nothing more. She now recalled why the voice sounded so familiar. It was Juliette!

"All I wanted was my life back, but by the time the cure came it was too late to turn back, I had already gone to the dark side. But you know what Adalind, I embraced it because it was who I really was inside. The hexenbiest was who I really was." It smiled , a smile so evil that a chill ran down Adalind's spine. " I must thank you Adalind, you did me a favour, but it cost me alot."

"Juliette, I didn't know it would happen, but then again you choose to be a hexenbiest even when the cure was handed to you, by the person who loves you the most" said Adalind " But you betrayed him in everyway possible"

"Betrayed? Are you kidding me? I had always been there for Nick, everytime I put my life in danger to save him from you. And look where it got me. But in the end Adalind you took what was mine. The child you carry should have been mine, not yours. I intend to make sure you never have it"

"You took away my first child, what makes you think I will let you have this one" asked Adalind getting angry and defensive when Juliette started targeting her child.

"Oh, Adalind, you should know by now, I will not let you have Nick either. I will see to that"

"Renard, I don't know whats wrong with her"

"How long has she been like this?" he said as he felt Adalind's forehead

"About 3 hrs I think." Said Rosalee

"She seems to be in a demonic coma" said Renard

"Is it to do with the Gyllou?" asked Hank

"No this is different. There are demons called AL according to Armenian tradition the als steal certain organs of the woman in childbirth or pregnant or who have just given birth. They destroy embryos in the womb, causing miscarriages and can steal babies forty days after birth and replace them with imps"

"How do we stop it?" asked Nick look really worried

" Apotrophic wards were used to prevent the Al from reaching the water. If it does then the woman is more likely to die as it would be the first stage of organ failure" Renard looked worried he looked to Rosalee

"I think I know what to do. Monroe come with me" she and Monroe rushed to get what was and Monroe returned with amulets and Mirrors they place it all over the rooms and Rosalee mixed garlic and wild roses and applied it on Adalind.
