TRIBRID

Chapter 19

I woke up, thankful, yet sad that today is a day of grieving for everyone, but for giving me a day of rest. I layed in bed with Magnus as we enjoyed the quietness.

"Shall we take a bath before Alec comes home?' I asked him

"That sounds, wonderful, my star." Magnus said as we got out of bed to take a relaxing bath together.

We got out and watched as the day went by us. Magnus and I though, could not have a free day. We called every warlock we knew and explained what happened. I also called Raphael and Caterina to check on him and Madzie.

It was still midafternoon, when we finished, and we're joined by Raphael. He explained the situation with Izzy. He wasn't able to leave, as Alec showed up.

"Hey." Alec told us

"You must be reading my mind. I was just about to call you." Magnus told him as I hugged Alec

"there's a greater demon on the loose. And we need your help. It's been leaving this on its victims." Alec told us showing us a bag

"Oh, dear. This sand, it's from Duduael." I told him as Magnus examined the bag closer

"Which is a... dimension in Hell." Alec said

"The worst dimension. Did you find this on their face?" Magnus asked 

"Mmhmm." Alec nodded

"How did he get loose? He's been shackled for centuries." I said towards Magnus

"Who Magnus, Stella?" Alec asked

"The demon who taught man the weapons of war. A greater demon, Azazel, one of the princes of Hell." I told him

"Right. A real prince. Why is it so dark in here?" He asked us until he heard a whoosh.

"Hello, Alec." Raphael said as he faced Alec

"What is he doing here?" Alec asked

"Raphael has something important to tell you." I told him

"Nothing he says matters to me." Alec told us

"Your sisters in trouble." Raphael said

"You're damn right she is. She's suffering withdrawal back at the Institute because of you!" Alec told him, getting angry

"Alec, please, just listen to what he has to tell you." I asked

"She just came by the DuMort, begging for a bite." Raphael told him

"What?" Alec asked

"I didn't touch her. You have my word. But there are plenty of vampires more than eager to take a bite." Raphael explained

"I never should have left her alone." Alec said, going to leave

I knew he was going to blame himself

"It's not your fault. Don't worry. We'll find her" Magnus told him

"Here's the address to the closest den. There's a good chance she's there." Raphael said handing him a paper

"Let's go." Alec said as we left the loft, leaving Raphael in the darkness of it

It was dark when we reached the den. When we turned into the alley, we saw dead bodies with foam coming out of them. It could only mean one thing.

"Azazel did this." Alec confirmed before we walked further in the alley. I saw Magnus leaned down and pick something up.

"Izzy's necklace." Magnus said

"It's broken. Where is she?" Alec asked but we couldn't say anything for we did not know.
