Chapter 18

Chicago

Nadia's pov

I made it to Chicago. Colt is on his way. I just checked into a hotel.

I sat my stuff down. I sat on the bed, calling Dean to let him know.

"Hey, babe. I made it to Chicago," I said. "That's good. Is it cold there?" Dean asked.

"Yes, snow everywhere. Anything on Donatello?" I asked. "Well, Mom and I went to Donatello's house. He wasn't there but Nick was. Now Sam and I are on our way to find Donatello with Nick," he said.

I forget that Lucifer's not possess Nick anymore after Dean with Michael's grace killed Lucifer. "Okay. Be careful. There's something fishy about him," I said.

"I will. Be careful in Chicago and hope everything is okay there," he said. "I will. I love you," I said.

"I love you too," he said. We ended the call. I got up, getting dressed in my FBI attire.

I heard a knock on my hotel door. I walked over, looking through the peephole.

I see Axel standing outside. I opened the door, seeing him. "Nadia Roussell?" Axel asked.

"Hey, Axel. Come in," I said. "Well, you know that I am a vampire and it doesn't work on me," he said.

Axel comes in and I shut the door. "Well, you've grown up beautifully. Last time I saw you, you had blonde hair with orange tips" he said.

"Yea but I went full blonde after I started working with my husband. Colt's on his way," I said. "I'm glad you two came to help out," he said.

"We're glad to help you," I said. I heard a knock on the door.

"It's Colt," I said. Colt opens the door with the hotel key.


"Hey, Nadia," Colt said. I stood up, hugging Colt. "Hey," I said.

"Hey, Colt," Axel said. "Hey, man. How have you been?" Colt asked as they hugged.

"I had better days. I called Nadia to see if you, Steve and Nadia could help me since you three saved me and a bunch of others from the ring. Where's Steve?" Axel asked.

"He died back in 2013," I said. "What happened?" Axel asked.

"He betrayed Nadia by trying to have sex with her, he got physical with her and she defended herself by stabbing him in the inner thigh. She killed him, draining him dry," Colt said.

"Then he was brought back by Abaddon and turned him into a demon. He kidnapped her mother and she killed him by stabbing under his chin. Then she bashed his face with her father's blade in rage," Colt said.

"I am sorry to hear that," Axel said. "Don't be. He couldn't accept the fact that I only liked him as a brother," I said.

"Yeah. He's had a crush on her since she moved to Lebanon," Colt said. "Water under the bridge. Axel, can you Colt what you told me about what's going on," I said.

"Okay. Remember the three girls that you saved?" Axel said. "Yes, Abigail, Heather and Victoria," Colt said.

"Well, they went missing. Heather had bite marks on her neck and she had her heart ripped out of her chest. Abigail and Victoria are still alive and missing," Axel said.

"How do you know about this?" Colt asked. "I'm a detective at the CPD," Axel said, showing his badge.

Colt and I looked at it. "Do they know that?" Colt asked. "That I'm a vampire? No, I don't even drink human blood unless it's from a blood bank," Axel said.

"Where's Heather's body?" I asked. "At the Coroner," Axel said.

"Let me and Colt get suited up and we will go to the coroners," I said. "Okay. See you guys in a bit," Axel said.

"Okay," Colt and I said together. Axel leaves the hotel room.

Colt and I made it to the coroners. Axel was with us. He led us to the morgue.

W

e got to the morgue. "Detective Halston, I see you brought your friends from the FBI," the coroner said.

"Hi, Annie. Yes, I did. Is it okay if they check Heather?" Axel asked. "Sure. Her body's right here," she said.

"Thank you, Annie," Axel said. Annie leaves the room, smiling at me.

I started hearing her thoughts as she left. "Nadia, you okay?" Axel asked.

"Yeah, I'm okay. I heard her thoughts," I said. Axel nodded.

Colt checks on Heather's body. "Poor Heather. At least she can rest in peace," I said.

Colt looks at the bite marks. "Okay. It's not a vampire, nor a werewolf. It looks like...," Colt paused.

I look at the bite marks, recognizing them. "Those are succubus or incubus fangs. Think one of Ligeia's minions is on earth," I said.

"Ligeia?" Axel asked. "Succubus Queen. We gotta find this succubus or incubus, maybe they could lead us to her," Colt said.

"Well, looks like I'm going to have to get in my trap outfit in the freezing cold," I said. "Like old times," Colt said.

I nodded. "But instead, trap an incubus or succubus," I said. Axel nodded.

Axel's phone goes off. "Detective Halston," I said. Axel looks at me.

"There's another body. Abigail's," Axel said. "Oh shit. We should go," I said. We left the coroners and headed out.

Few Minutes later

We got to the crime scene. We see Abigail's body, same bite marks.

Colt and Axel check her out as I look on to see if I see anyone that looks suspicious.

I see this one man looking right at me. I looked at him.

He walked away, then I kept my eye on him. "I'll be right back," I said, walking towards him.

The man kept walking as I continued to follow him. He turns the corner.

I stopped for a moment, watching where he goes. He goes inside the alley way.

I looked at the building. It looks like an old warehouse.

"Keep out. Condemned." I chuckled softly. "Got you, you son of a bitch," I whispered.

I headed back to the crime scene as the coroners got Abigail in the coroner's van. "Thank you, gentlemen," Colt said.

"Nadia, you okay?" Axel asked. "Yeah," I said.

"Who's that man you followed?" Colt asked. "I don't know. He gave me a weird look like he knew me," I said.

"What did he look like?" Axel asked. I explained where he walked off too.

I led Axel and Colt to where I followed the man. "Welp, it's a warehouse that went out of business," Axel said.

"Might be a good place for an incubus to hide and their victims," Colt said. "When was this place shut down?" I asked. 

"Last month," Axel said. I gently touch the door, seeing if I can hear someone's thoughts.

'Your majesty, I found her. Good thing Michael told us about the three women that she saved; however, the man that she saved from a female sex trafficking leader is with the half-breed. Now I will trap her and kill her friends' he said.

'No, you wait and I will kill her'. I can hear Ligeia's voice as I rolled my eyes in the back of my head, seeing that he cut someone's throat to call Ligeia.

"Was Abigail's throat cut?" I asked. "Yes, ear to ear," Axel said.

"Oh fuck. He cut Abigail's throat to take blood to make a call to Legeia," I said.

"That's fucking sick," Axel said. "That's how some demons would contact Crowley or Lucifer," I said.

---

Colt and I are still in Chicago with our old friend, Axel Halston, who I saved 11 years ago. I saved him from a female sex trafficker leader that was making one of her clients.

He's also q vampire but he doesn't drink human blood unless it's in a blood bag from blood banks. He's a detective for the Chicago Police Department, helping the men and women get off the streets and take them home safely.

The girls that we saved went missing and two of them are dead. Now we need to save one last girl before this minion of Ligeia kills her, me and my friends.

Colt and I are in our hotel. I am getting prepared to trap Ligeia's Minion. Colt finding a good spot to trap Ligeia's minion.

I'm going to dress up like the girls on the streets like I did several years ago. It's weird wearing this outfit again with fur coat.

"It's weird that I can fit this," I whispered. I started groaning as I know I'm about to have a vision, rolling my eyes in the back of my head.

{I see an abandoned country house that Mary stepped out of. They are talking as I don't know what.

Jack starts hearing ringing and Mary's trying to calm him down.

He keeps saying 'Leave me alone' on repeat. Mary's trying to calm him down but his eyes lit up at her...}

I gasped softly as my eyes went back to normal. "Nadia, you okay?" Colt asked.

"Yeah, I'm okay. I had vision," I said. "Of what?" he asked.

"It was Jack and Mary. His eyes lit up but it ended out of nowhere," I said.
Colt nodded.

My phone rings. I grabbed it, answering it. "Axel?" I asked.

"Hello, Nadia Roussell Winchester. I had a feeling it was you," someone said. "Who's this?" I asked.

"It's Annie, the coroner you met. My husband and I have your little vampire friend with us and Victoria's still alive. Say hello Axel and Victoria," Annie said.

"Nadia, don't list...," Axel pauses as I hear a punch. Axel groans as Victoria muffle cries in the background as I believe it's a trap.

"What do you want?" I asked. "I want you to come alone. Don't bring your hunter friend with you. If we smell that hunter, we will drain Victoria of her blood and Axel will get his head chopped off like his kind," Annie said, hanging up.

"Oh god. Annie the Coroner has Axel and Victoria," I said. "Victoria's still alive?" Colt asked.

"She is. I need to save them and confront Ligeia's minions," I said. "I'll go with," Colt said.

"No, Colt. You heard Annie. If you come with them they will drain Victoria and chop Axel's head since they know he's a vampire," I said.

"Well, if you don't come out alive," he asked. "I have an idea," I said. I whispered to Colt the plan that I have.

An Hour Later

I am walking on the street that we found Abigail's body on. I see the Incubus that I saw earlier, staring at me.

I cleared my throat, pretending that he's not following me. I turned into the alleyway that leads to the abandoned condemned place.

I felt the Incubus grab me from behind. "Got you, half-breed. My wife and your friends are here," he said, shoving me inside.

"Is your hunter friend with you?" he asked. "No, I told him to stay behind," I said.

"Good, half-breed," he said. "But first, what's your name?" I asked.

"Bradley," he said. I nodded as he led me to where Annie has Axel and Victoria.

I see Victoria cuffed the post with tape on her mouth. Axel's behind hanged by his arms, with blood all over his face.

"Nadia, what are you doing here? It's a tr...," Annie punches Axel in the mouth as his blood comes out of his mouth.

"Well, well, if it isn't Nadia Roussell Winchester. Kevin Griffin's only daughter," Annie said.

Bradley shoves me down. "Well, I am here bitch. Call your Queen," I said.

"But first..," Annie paused, cutting my face with the demon blade. I hissed softly in pain.

My wound heals up. "Even if you cut me, you can't kill me with that blade, fugly bitch," I said.

Bradley grabs me by the hair. Annie punches me in the mouth. I groaned softly.

"You shut your dirty mouth, you filthy half-breed," Bradley said. Annie walks over to Victoria, with a blade to her neck.

"Time to call Ligeia," Annie said. Victoria starts to muffle the scream.

"Leave her alone!" Axel yelled. Annie punches Axel in the mouth.

"Wait, don't call Ligeia!!" Annie looks at me. "Why not?" she asked.

"She can find me if I take this off," I said. Annie looks at my pendant that my father gave me.

She rips it off my neck and throws it into the fire. "Too bad that your daddy's still in Hell and can't help you" Annie said.

I heard a banging on the door. Victoria gasps and whimpers.

"Looks like she's here. Go let our queen in, baby," Annie said. Bradley nodded, letting my hair go.

"I will be right back," he said, walking away as I know what's going on.
