Years After
Schuyler Val Alen was now 21 years old and didn't change at all. Although her appearances looked a bit older and feminine, she was still the same girl that was in love with Jack Force. After the death of his sister, Mimi Force they drifted apart as she went after Lucifer's group. Although the Committee was run by her grandfather, Lawrence Val Alen, the Forces had moved away after the decision. It wasn't until the funeral of her grandfather, she found him again.
He still had his golden hair and striking green eyes, but he looked more masculine and handsome from when she last saw him. At first Schuyler was hesitant in sending the Forces' an invitation to the funeral, but did so anyways. As the pastor blessed her grandfather, she saw Jack come by her side. As he stood beside her, he wrapped his arm around her shoulders to reassure comfort. Schuyler couldn't help but feel tears as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders. It wasn't the fact that her grandfather was dead, she was crying but it was that fact that she still loved Jack.
When the coffin finally descended into the ground and talking to many people about their respects they had for her grandfather, Schuyler walked away. Sitting under a tree in her white gown nearby the gravesite, she couldn't help but feel miserable. She was still the same old Schuyler, the one that couldn't help anyone. She couldn't save Dylan, Mimi, Cordelia, and now her grandfather. As she sobbed quietly to herself under the tree, she sensed someone sit beside her. It was most likely Oliver or Bliss to comfort her, but as she looked up she froze. Jack Force.
"Are you alright Schuyler?" Jack asked as he squeezed her hands that were together resting on her knees.
"Not really…Jack…just leave me alone." Schuyler said as she strained Jack's name and looking away from him.
"I can't, and I know I shouldn't have left you."
"Then why? Why did you leave me after her funeral?" Schuyler said as she still looked away from him.
"I'm sorry…Schuyler. Its her, you know…I'm bonded to her. I felt her death for so many years, but now I'm ready to move on." Jack said with strained voice, since he wasn't ready to say his sister's name yet.
Schuyler got up and turned her back on Jack. "After all these years, I've been living my life full of regret, sorrow, and pain. I couldn't save anyone, Dylan, your sister, my grandmother, and now my grandfather. I'm useless I don't possibly understand why you would want me? I'm nothing but a failure, a half-blood, a-"
"I still love you, no matter whom or what you are. I may be Abbadon, but I am also Jack Force, the man in love with you. I am me and you are you." Jack yelled as he interrupted her.
Schuyler turned around and held Jack whispering "I am Schuyler Val Alen, the woman in love with you. Always have and always will for eternity." She then turned and looked into Jack's eyes. They were full of passion and love, and as they shared a kiss she could feel how much he loved her.
At that moment she knew she could be safe in his arms, for eternity. She could let go of her painful past, and just be in pure bliss in his arms. She had no longer cared that she couldn't help anyone, for in his arms she felt nothing but love. As she felt his lips near her ears, he whispered "even though this isn't allowed I'd give my soul, heart, body, and everything I have to be with you. I want to be bonded with you for eternity even if I have to go through Apocalypse for you. I love you Schuyler Van Alen, will you marry me?"
As she felt tears fall down her face she buried her face in his chest and nodded. There was nothing more she wanted then this moment. She loved him and would love him for eternity. "Yes Jack Force…I'll marry you and even if this is wrong, I'd do anything for you."
"As I will, for you are everything to me."
