A Slow Change of Heart

Chapter twelve: A New and Old Face

(April 28)

"It's cold."

The doctor smiled as he spread the gel on the elf's belly, he has been doing this for years, and every pregnant women says the same thing to him, it's cold.

Abraham stood beside Nuala holding her hand, Hellboy stood against the wall holding one of the twins while Liz leaned against him holding the other. Nuada stood against the doorway a bit angry at his sister who agreed to use humans machines, and Melissa, Melissa looked ready to jump off the walls, this was her first ultrasound ever. The doctor put the handheld device on the belly and started moving it around.

Everyone gasped.

The baby looked like a regular baby, well a regular developing baby, the parents had tears of joy in their eyes at seeing their child.

"Are we going to find out the sex of the baby?" Melissa asked the parents, particularly Nuala, since it is her belly.

"Yes, I would like to know." Nuada's faced twisted at the knowledge of his sister not following the tradition of finding out after giving birth. The doctor smiled and moved to find the gender.

"Everyone but Nuada stepped closer. "It's a. . . girl." Melissa jumped up and down. " It's a girl, it's a girl." Even Nuada couldn't help but smile at he antics, though his was tinier than the others.

"Nuala you don't mind human dresses right." Nuala smiled, "I would not mind if you bought her clothes."

"Yes!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Does it look like a fish?" Shakayia blatantly asked.

"No, the baby looks like it will look like an elf, I probably should ask about that."

The two girls walked through had walked through almost all the babies department to find some clothes with Melissa's birthday money. They bought clothes, toys, and all the necessities for the babies first year on Earth.

"So?" Shakayia asked.

"So what?"

"So how's the sex god doing?"

"Of course you would ask that, he's good and still hates the human race, but I think he's learning to deal with us a bit better."

"Can I meet him?"

"Do you love your head on your shoulders?" Melissa asked with a laugh present in her voice, Shakayia dropped the subject.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BPRD agents walked through the streets of the Troll Market in hopes of seeing something to lead them to the faes who wanted one of their own. Every lead they had gotten did nothing for them, the team grew more frustrated with the search.

Abraham continued to search for a way to defeat the incubus, he found nothing as of now, but he continued to look for a solution.

"The girl is going to be end of this department, I think I'm loosing hair because of her." Manning paced the floor, they are getting nowhere and Washington was giving him a hard time. Dr. Krauss watched him pace the floor. "The agents they are sending will be very useful in our investigation no?" Manning stopped pacing the floor. "Yeah, lets hope Hellboy doesn't over react."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"We don't need help." The team stood in the library waiting for the help Washington was sending.

"Washington disagrees, the two agents they're sending specialize in mythological and biblical creatures, they will know how to defeat that incubus." Hellboy just crossed his arms at Manning's defense.

"Still don't need them."

Melissa stood next the Nuada, Cain and Abel stood on her shoulder while the faeries hovered around Nuada, making tiny braids in his hair. Nuada looked neutral about the new agents, but you didn't have to be close to him to know the truth, he was livid inside.

The doors opened and the team got a look at the two new agents a man and woman. Liz broke into a smile and ran to hug one of them, Hellboy huffed.

"Myers your back, thought you liked the cold?" Myers smiled at Hellboy.

Dr. Krauss stepped forward to greet the woman. "Agent Cree a pleasure, welcome to New York your file says you are a witch of the elements, very good, another fighter will do wonders."

Agent Cree scrutinized all the agents in the room. Her eyes stayed on the two elves, she sensed light in one, the other darkness. 'This is going to be interesting.'

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nuada slowly twirled his sister's bracelet in his hands while Melissa played on the floor with Cain and Abel.

"Are you going to undue those braids, you look ridiculous with them." Before Nuada respond, Agent Cree entered his room.

"So you're the elf that tried to use the Golden Army to destroy mankind, aren't you handsome." Nuada sneered.

"Nuada, you're door seriously needs a lock." Agent Cree lowered her eyes to the girl.

"You must be Melissa, the reason for all the commotion."

"That's me."

Agent Cree walked until she sat on the bed.

"Why don't you leave the room so the two adults can talk honey." Melissa smiled at her patronizing voice.

"First of all I'm eighteen so talk to me like I am, second I will leave if Nuada wishes it of me, third don't call me honey I don't even know you." Nuada smirked.

"Human, I barely tolerate the mutt, I will not deal with you insulting those who work under me, either leave or I will personally throw you out."

"The girl's your slave?" Agent Cree's eyebrows rose.

"No, royal guard, sounds nice right, it's how I get through the Troll Market with no trouble. You should do as he said Agent Cree, Nuada doesn't lie, too much honor."

Agent Cree strained a smile and lowered herself to the floor. "Now, now, call me Jewel, I was hoping the two of us could become friends and work together to save your life."

"No thanks, we just need you to help us find out how to kill the incubus, that's all." Jewel, feeling Nuada's glare on her back, decided to leave the room. Melissa sat up to look at Nuada once Jewel closed the door.

"I think she likes you." Nuada went back to looking at the bracelet.

(Dream)

Melissa stood in a room, everything looked old and worn down. The drapes were grey, the red couches dusty, holes were present in the rug under the coffee table. Lighting flashed outside the big windows, but there was no rain. 'You can never escape me girl, your blood sings to me, calls me, needs me.'

"Who's there, show yourself."

The speaker appeared on the other side of the room.

"It's you, the incubus, what you want?"

'"My name is Miska, once an angel of God's army, I fell when I wanted to control the humans, so they could stop disobeying my Father. I continue on with my goal, but I want you to help me. I have watched you all your life, you are the one I need to help fulfill my dream."

"I rather die then betray my God's will like that, or my friends."

"Ah yes, your friends, you can give them anything in the world if you come with me, you yourself will need nothing, I will provide for you."

"I don't need you, I have all that I desire."

"Your succubus blood has awakened, nothing you have now will satisfy you, but I can in so many ways."

"My elf blood is stronger and so is my human, nothing you have will satisfy me."

Miska disappeared just to reappear behind her. His arms wrapped around her shoulders, his head resting next to hers, tilted so he could speak in her ear.

"I will satisfy your cravings, the humans you love will never be able to, the elf you have come to know will never satisfy you in the ways that I can."

"Okay, now I get the sexual comments and I would never touch something as dark as you in that way."

"Just wait my angel, you will come begging to me, it's only a matter of time."

Miska let go, only to pull a dagger and stab Melissa in the heart from behind.

(End of Dream)

Melissa's bare feet padded as she made her way to the occupant i the bed.

"Nuada wake up."

The elf awoke to see the girl hugging herself.

"What is the meaning of this."

"I saw the incubus, he came into my dream, can I stay with you?"

Nuada looked angry, but he moved over to allow her to slip in next to him.

"Thank you."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey I added a new character and brought one back. If your wondering about all the sexual comments from the incubus its because they are demons or fallen angels that were thought to have sexual intercourse with women while they sleep. A succubus is the same but with men instead. R&R.
