Chapter 1
As Schuyler sat in her Mt. dew colored room; she knew she should be happy that Charles allowed her to move back home, but she had no family there to greet her. Schuyler did have Hattie and Julius and they were family to her and they both were happy to have her there once again.
Schuyler flopped back onto her bed. She remembered what Charles had told her before she left. Charles told her of a prophecy that was given to the family many years ago, when Allegra was pregnant with Schuyler.
Out of the pure shall come both the dark and light. For the light will have to overcome the dark to protect the ones it loves.
Charles did mention the gates Lawrence referred to was the Gates of Hell; which held Leviathan in his prison. Charles informed her that he would explain more later on, but he was late for another Committee meeting. Charles had been reinstated as the Regis when they discovered that Lawrence died at the Conclave.
Charles knew when Lawrence had died that Leviathan had been released. Call it a sixth sense, but as Michael, Pure of heart, when Lucifer's powers had return Charles knew. When the Conclave had returned from Rio with what little members they had left. The members knew Charles had to be Regis to overcome the Silver bloods, but he did not want it to happen this way. Then came Schuler a couple of days ago, she came into his office with such fury that Charles thought for just a moment that it was Allegra. "She is going to be the death of me," he thought.
"Schuyler, how many times do I have to tell you that I am too busy for your little teenage problems?"
Schuyler slammed the door shut and locked it. She knew that a lock was nothing to a Blue Blood, but she was sending Charles a message.
Mimi couldn't be happier except for the whole Lucifer and Silver Bloods coming back. The half-blood had let Jack go and ever since then it had been blissful for Mimi; she had Jack all to herself. She was sitting at the table with Jack going over the seating arrangement for their bonding. Mimi glanced over at Jack and sent a message, "Hey there handsome."Jack didn't look back but replied, "Hey beautiful."Jack was still being cold to Mimi, but Mimi took it as a sign of his broken heart over Schuyler. "Once we are bonded he will never remember her, only me," Mimi smiled. What Mimi didn't know was Jack heard that thought; Mimi had forgotten to close her mind. Jack knew that Mimi was behind the reason Schuyler's actions, but he had yet to prove it. Schuyler had been avoiding Jack since the incident at the apartment and now Charles had allowed Schuyler to move out. Jack was furious with Charles for allowing her to move back into the Van Alen mansion; she was unprotected there. What did Charles think her human familiar could protect her from another attack? Jack hit the table with such fury that all the placement cards went flying through the air.
"What is wrong with you, Jack?" Mimi screamed. "I am going to have to do this all over again."
Jack turned to Mimi with his apologetic eyes and put Mimi's face in his hands. "I am sorry, I just forgot I have to get my final fitting for my tux and I have to pick up my suit from Barney's before the ball tonight. Forgive me for my behavior."
Mimi sighed, "Oh how can I not forgive you, I'll just have someone do this for me. I really need to go for a Mani and Pedi before the ball tonight, anyways."
Mimi waved her hand to let Jack know he may leave. He kissed Mimi on her cheek and whispered," That's the girl I love." Then he was gone.
"That boy is going to cause me a heart attack before our bonding."Mimi sighed and then she smiled; she loved getting dressed up and this time she was going to make sure all eyes were on her tonight.
