Oliver had been right, he was always right, though Schuyler as she entered the hottest new club in New York, Club Apocalypse. Her best friend had told her not to accompany her cousins, Jack and Mimi Force, to the club's grand opening but she didn't listen. Well partly she didn't listen partly she didn't have a choice. Her new legal guardian, Charles Force, was her uncle as well as Mimi's and Jack's father.

Charles had insisted the three of them go together to in his words, "bond and become closer as cousins and fellow Blue Bloods."

Schuyler hadn't known whether to take it as a joke or not but soon she found herself in a black Prada miniskirt that showed off her long milky white legs, a purple halter, and three inch black stilettos.

This entire outfit was lent to her by her cousin Mimi so that Schuyler didn't, "totally humiliate them," in a hot public place.

Truth be told Schuyler was a tad excited to go out with her cousins, not because she wanted to bond with them as a family or as Blue Bloods, but because she wanted to get closer to Jack. Jack Force was her cousin, Mimi's twin brother and an extremely powerful vampire.

Of course so was Schuyler, a vampire that is. So was Mimi as a matter of fact. Jack and Mimi and Schuyler were part of an ancient secret underground of community of vampires known as the Blue Bloods.

They were they angels that had been cast from Heaven in Lucifer's downfall. Jack and Mimi were two of the most powerful vampires of all. Jack was Abbadon, the Angel of Destruction and Mimi was Azreal Angel of Death they were forever bound to one another, a tragic and immortal love story.

Schuyler on the other hand was a Half Blood, a new existence. Her mother had been the most powerful vampire of them all, Gabrielle the Uncorrupted. Along with her twin brother Michael she had willingly become a vampire so that she could lead the fallen angels to their salvation and back to paradise. But that was then, now Allegra Van Alen was in a coma. She had been that way ever since Schuyler was a few months old.

Her father had been a human that Allegra had fallen in love with; when he died she refused to drink anymore life giving blood in order to preserve their love. For the first fifteen years of her life the only family Schuyler had ever known was her distant grandmother, Cordelia Van Alen. Then Cordelia was murdered by the horrid race of vampires known as Silver Bloods, vampires who drank other vampires' blood.

Cordelia hadn't died per se; she was just sleeping until her next life cycle. Before she had "died" Cordelia said that if Schuyler went to Venice she would find her grandfather Lawrence Winslow Van Alen. He was another powerful vampire and Schuyler's guardian and teacher. But fate had once again played a cruel trick on Schuyler.

After proving Mimi's innocence for a terrible crime that resulted in the death of a powerful vampire Schuyler had been shocked to discover that Charles Force had successfully adopted her and now she had to live with him, his wife, Mimi and Jack. Mimi had had a huge fit when she discovered that it wasn't just some sick joke her father had played on her.

"Dad NO! She CAN NOT be living with us!" the young vampire had cried for days until she had been resigned to that fact that she would have to share an existence with Schuyler.

Jack had been stoic about the entire thing but had been careful to avoid Schuyler when she was alone. Lawrence was keeping good on his promise to fight the court ruling though; he had recently hired the most respected domestic lawyers in the country.

But that was still a time off to see how it would all turn out for now this was Schuyler's reality, sitting at the bar of the club with Mimi, Jack and all of their Blue Blood friends being completely ignored by everyone.

Suddenly Mimi turned to Jack and said, "I LOVE this place…it's like a Blue Blood sanctuary!"

"Yeah," Jack agreed.

"We're practically the owners!" cried Mimi in jubilation hooking an arm around her brother's shoulder.

"How do you figure that?" asked Jack smirking at his sister.

"Club Apocalypse…the Apocalyptic Twins? Hello! No shit we're the owners!" said Mimi kissing her brother on the cheek.

"Actually," said a voice from the darkness behind the bar, "I'm the owner."

Schuyler, Jack, and Mimi turned to see who was talking. It was a young woman who looked to be about nineteen. From what the trio could see she had long burgundy colored hair with purple and blue highlights and one amethyst eye and one silver eye. She had an easy smile on her face that showed off all of her Chiclets© white teeth. Suddenly an upbeat sexy song started to pound the speakers.

The woman smiled and said, "Now if y'all don't mind…I think I'm going to dance."

Everybody look at me, me
I walk in the door you start screaming
Come on everybody whatchu here for?
Move your body around like a nympho
Everybody get your necks to crack around
All you crazy people come on jump around
I want to see you all on your knees
you either want to be with me, or be me

The girl hopped over the bar counter with impressive agility and made a beeline for the dance floor. Now that there was no bar to obscure her view Mimi saw that the owner of the club was attractive. She was about five nine by the looks of it, the black boots she was wearing added at least three inches to her height.

Her tight black jeans were tucked into the boots and had silver designs all over them that shone in the florescent light. She wore a black corset tube top that highlighted her perfect wait and bosom.

Maneater, make you work hard
Make you spend hard
Make you want all, of her love
She's a maneater
make you buy cars
make you cut cords
make you fall, fall in love
Maneater, make you work hard
Make you spend hard
Make you want all, all of her love
She's a maneater
make you buy cars
make you cut cords
Wish you never ever met her at all

She was an intoxicating sight on the dance floor. Her body swayed with the beat of the music and her feet seemed to hover rather touch the floor. Suddenly she looked over to the bar where the Forces and Schuyler were sitting. She quirked a perfectly arched eyebrow then returned to dancing.

"Let's dance," came Jack's voice from behind her.

"Alright," Mimi said turning around to face her twin but discovered him talking to none other then Schuyler Van Alen.

Schuyler blushed and said in a soft voice, "Umm…I don't really dance and besides I think that I might kill my self if I dance in these shoes."

Jack stared at the raven haired girl before chuckling and saying, "Don't worry…I won't let you fall. C'mon its just one dance please?"

And when she walks she walks with passion
when she talks, she talks like she can handle it
when she asks for something she means it
even if you never ever ever seen it
everybody get your necks to crack around
all you crazy people come and jump around
you doing anything to keep her by your side
because, she said she love you, love you long time

Schuyler blushed an even deeper shade of crimson but agreed. The two of the made their way to the dance floor. The club owner gave them the quickest of nods and faintest of smiles as the two vampires began to dance. Jack felt as though he'd been hit by lightning. Schuyler was a fantastic dancer despite her own denial.

He had been suppressing his feelings for her for months and months hoping that they would disappear so he could be bound to his twin Mimi in peace. But when the club owner had looked at them something in his mind said Ask her to dance.

Maneater, make you work hard
Make you spend hard
Make you want all, of her love
She's a maneater
make you buy cars
make you cut cords
make you fall, fall in love
Maneater, make you work hard
Make you spend hard
Make you want all, all of her love
She's a maneater
make you buy cars
make you cut cords
Wish you never ever met her at all

Schuyler was breathless, her heart was racing and her mind was spinning. Dancing like this with Jack Force was something that never expected to happen in a million life times, and trust her that was a probable amount of time for a vampire.

She had long nursed the hope that maybe someday there might be something other then tentative friendship between them; he had kissed her twice after all. He came closer to her as the beat pumped through their veins and into their souls.

"I think you're a fine dance," he whispered in her ear.

"I have good partner," she countered with a smile.

Maneater, make you work hard
Make you spend hard
Make you want all, of her love
She's a maneater
make you buy cars
make you cut cords
make you fall, fall in love
Maneater, make you work hard
Make you spend hard
Make you want all, all of her love
She's a maneater
make you buy cars
make you cut cords
Wish you never ever met her at all
never ever met her at all
you wish you never ever met her at all

Mimi had to resist the urge to throw something. That little wretch was dancing with Jack! But that wasn't what hurt the most, what hurt the most was the fact that Jack had asked Schuyler to dance. Mimi had long known her brother's…affections towards the Van Alen brat but Mimi had foolishly thought that once her trial in Venice was over and done with Jack would come back to her and fall in love with her the way it was meant to be.

But then of course fate kick her up her ass and she found out Schuyler would be living with them. Mimi had become hopeful again when Jack appeared to ignore their unwelcome house guest but now seeing the two of them together gave Mimi a hard feeling in her gut.

Maneater, make you work hard
Make you spend hard
Make you want all, of her love
She's a maneater
make you buy cars
make you cut cords
make you fall, fall in love
Maneater, make you work hard
Make you spend hard
Make you want all, all of her love
She's a maneater
make you buy cars
make you cut cords
Wish you never ever met her at all

The song ended and Jack and Schuyler made their way back to the bar, flushed but smiling all the same. Mimi saw the way they shyly exchanged smiles and promptly ordered the strongest thing on the menu.

// elsewhere // elsewhere // elsewhere // elsewhere //

RING! RING!

Urg, thought Mimi. Who the hell calls at 8 am on a Saturday?

"Hello?"

"Hello this is Victoria from Farnsworth Models."

Mimi instantly perked up.

"I'm calling to inform you that a Miss Madeline Force, a Mr. Benjamin Force, and a Miss Shuyler Van Alen are booked for a photo shoot this afternoon at noon."

"Oh…ok."

"You are expected to be at 7th and Broad no later then 12:00 sharp. Is that understood?"

"Yes," said Mimi.

"Alright then."

And with that the woman hung up.

Mimi bristled. No one hung up on Mimi Force; Mimi Force hung up on you. But she now had bigger fish to fry so to speak then a rude receptionist.

She, Jack, and Shuyler were going to be modeling.

Shuyler was modeling.

With Jack.

This simply could not happen! And Mimi was damned (more so then she already was) if she was going to let that little half blood spoil this for her.

Jack.

What?

No need to be snippy.

It's 8 in the morning Mims.

I know.

So.

So what?

Are you going to tell me why you woke me from a pleasant dream?

What was the dream about?

Never mind that.

Fine…don't tell me. Anyways we're going to be modeling this afternoon. It's a 7th and Broad. Be there at noon.

Ok.

Mimi smiled to herself. Finally, a little quality time with Jack. More specifically quality time with Jack without Shuyler.

Perfect.

AN: Don't own Blue Bloods or Nelly Furtado.
