Chapter 15
Nick's pov
Nothing is ever certain. Those words kept replaying themselves the more I thought about them. I was staring blankly into space as Monroe and Rosalee just watched me carefully, neither sure what to do with themselves at the moment. Adalind just looked at me happily, obviously pleased with her answer. She thought she was so smart. She believed that she had me figured out.
"What are you saying?" Monroe asked from behind me.
I could only allow my eyes to guide themselves around the room as the silence swallowed us up. I couldn't find the strength to speak. She had just basically told me that Juliette could be dead, along with the fact terribly injured.
"All I'm saying is that Nick's a Grimm. A Grimm can make a lot of enemies. Any one of them could have taken her away to get to you just like I was going to. Think about it," she said sweetly with a hint of evil in her voice.
I was quietly grinding my teeth in my mouth, struggling to find the correct words to say. What if she was right? What if someone else had already gotten to her and I would never get to see her again?
"You're wrong. Come on, we're wasting time," I said as I looked to Monroe and Rosalee.
"Wait, what about our deal?"
"Our deal now consists of you being turned over to the police."
"You tricked me! You can't just cancel our deal!" she yelled, her face exuding an extreme anger.
"I can, I will, and I did. You want to know why? One, because you basically just told me my girlfriend could be dead and put us through this whole mess, and two, I just don't really like you," I stated with my arms crossed over my chest.
She looked like she was about to yell something at me just as I was turning to walk away.
"You can't stop me though from going back to the way I was before!"
"That's fine. I'm not even sure if I could turn you back even if I tried," I said as I walked back over and gripped her arm beginning to pull her towards the outside world for transport.
"You lied to me?" she questioned quietly.
I just nodded my head as Monroe and Rosalee followed closely behind as I opened the door and headed towards my car. She just shook her head as a look of pure hatred spread across her features. If it wasn't for Monroe watching me as I shoved her into the back of my car I probably would have squeezed her arm right off with all of the anger that was currently bubbling up inside of me. Once she was in the truck I jogged over to the front to see Monroe buckling in on the passenger side and Rosalee doing the same as she sat in the back with Adalind. Apparently I wasn't returning back to the station alone. Pulling out of the spot we headed back onto the main road. The sky was still appeared dreadful, perfectly matching all of our moods. The windshield wipers were on full blast as I had to lean forward to attempt to see straight. Monroe was also searching the roads in front of him as his eyes tried to scan through the torrential rains.
My eyes flashed to my mirror to see Adalind staring back at me with a highly displeased appearance plastered on her face. I hadn't seen her this angry in a long time. I quickly removed her from my view and continued back to the task at hand; getting back to the station safely so I would never have to see this witch again… hopefully. The lights made the water on the truck glow vibrantly as we drove, taking corners, continuing to head north. I could feel Monroe's eyes on me as we drove, whether that was a good thing or not I just wasn't sure. So much had happened lately and I was beginning to forget when and if I had gone wrong.
I began to shift in my seat becoming uncomfortable with the atmosphere inside the car. The only one who hadn't said or moved was Rosalee, who just sat by the window watching the outside world pass by. If only I knew what she was thinking about? My eyes began to burn from staying so focused on the road, trying to see clearly. It was then that I felt that something was off. The car ride was too quiet. An uneasiness filled my stomach as I glanced to Monroe who was watching Rosalee from the mirror. My head flashed back to the road but not before I felt an eerie presence surround me. The darkness engulfed my senses and before I knew it Adalind was springing her foot forward as she pushed from the seat in which she sat. My head whipped to see her as I was caught off guard but Monroe and Rosalee just watched as if in slow motion as her foot quickly pushed the wheel to the left, spiraling it out of control.
