Chapter 2

(Jack's POV)

We are here, here in Europe, here in safe hands. At least for now. She is asleep, I just love watching her sleep, in the past year or so I have missed her so much. Long has my heart yearned to be by hers. Long has it suffered the torment of being apart. Remembering back to the day I truly had my heart ripped out of me, was painful. But then to find her in Paris, to find that she too did still love me. Gave me hope, but then it was all thrown away as she chose Hazard-Perry. Again, over me. That's why I agreed to bond with Mimi. Almost losing her that day of the wedding, I knew I would fight for her safety till my heart stopped beating. Literally almost happened, but like my angel she saved me. My love, now her blood flows through my veins, we are one. And always will be.

She was so peaceful, so angelic. I could stare at her forever. We finally defied gravity, we can finally truly be happy. But our lives are at stack, I know Mimi, I know her all too well. I know she will seek vengeance; it is in her blood, her darkness, which is also mine. But I now have the light, the light to guide my way. The light that I had been drawn to for so long, the light that now lights my tunnel and my heart. Mimi will come after us; I know she will, it is only a matter of time. I have not told Schuyler, I cannot burden her with my worries, my problems. She is strong, in a sense. But maybe not strong physically, I know she won't be able to fend of Mimi. Hence why I have been keeping this a secret. Not only that, but we are always having some financial issues. I cannot use my Force trust fund, because Mimi will track me down in an instant, after all she is a venator. A venator with a vengeance.

I have been having dreams, flashes, of another woman in my past, a woman that I loved so much, not in a lovers kind of way, or even as a friend, but as a sister. In everytime she had the same grey eyes. The only name I knew her by was Evangeline. I back then I was known as James. We were the off-springs of who I knew as Lawrence & Cordelia Van Alen. But after that life time, I never saw Evangeline again. At least I don't think I did. Is she dead? Has she been taken? For all I know is that she given up a lot for me, she was my protector, and she maybe lost forever.

(Sky's POV)

I woke too the stares of a green eyed boy. He always does this. Stare at me while I sleep. It is slightly creepy but also comforting.

'Morning' I sent, still too tired to actually speak. He smiled at me and brought his lips to mine.

"Nice sleep?"

"Very…you?"

"I didn't sleep; I was too engrossed in the girl next to me."

"You watched me sleep all night?"

"Most nights…I am not like you Schuyler, I can go without sleep."

"Do I snore?"

He laughed at me and wrapped his arm round me waist, pulling himself closer to me.

"It's not funny, I was being serious."

"No my love, you are a light breather."

He kissed my forehead and headed for the bathroom.

(London-19th Century)

(Evangeline's POV)

I was born here in London, and here it was my home again. Though I was part of the New York Coven, London has always been my home. I grew up all over the place, my father is a keen traveller, but I had the company of my dear brother, in this life he was the eldest, for many of our incarnations, I was always the oldest. Once he found his twin, he moved back to New York. She always the dominate one, but over the years I have noticed that he has started to grown out of love for her. He seems to yearn for something more, something different. If a bond is ever broken, there are consequences. It was already enough that we have been casted down to live our lives as immortals. We seek forgiveness from God. Not even more withdrawal. I was living in New York with my brother and sister in law, till I found him, till I found my twin. Why is it in every cycle I have to wait so long till I find him? Is it a form of punishment? My brother found his twin by the time he left his sunset years. I am now 25…and in this time, it is a little too old to be finally getting married. But I found him, I finally have. My Elias, my faithful and loyal Elias. Too much pain have we gone through. Too much. From now on, I will not associate myself with the New York Coven, Not one of them care for me much, only but a few, that in the name of my family, and the Regis wife. Edward & I shall leave after our bonding. We shall not return. I am sorry my brother, for I am leaving you…again.

(James' POV)

Something was troubling my baby sister. I know it, I know her all too well. She was nervous, and I know it is not about her upcoming bonding to Edward Cooper. There is something else. Something she is hiding from me. For years have I protected her, after all she was my baby sister. But for many incarnations she has been my protector. Now it was my turn, my turn to act as the eldest. Emma my twin, my wife has not been supportive at all, she shows no love for my sister, sometimes I get the feeling she is jealous of our relationship, I do not love her in that way, she is my sister and always will be. I remember her struggle, her heart ache. Her pain, oh how she longed to be with her twin, how she envied me for finding mine. Long has it taken for her to finally find him, I knew I had to be supportive; I thought I may have support from my wife, clearly not. She only ever cares for herself, and I am getting tired of it. I do not want to love someone like that, I do not want love that is full of angry and violence, she brings out the worst in me. I vow in my next life I will make her work hard for my affection.

(Present day)

(Jack's POV)

Schuyler and I are in the European Repository, we have been here in Rome for just over a month now, and our search has been rather fruitless. I am being to doubt the countess, she says she is helping but how can I be sure. She has yet to help us find the keeper of The Gate of Promise. Whom Lawrence believed is still in Florence. She sent us here to see if we can find any families that were in Florence and that may still be there. This whole place is ten times bigger then the one back home. I do not even know where to start. Schuyler can only handle so much, before she becomes tired. But she does have sheer determination. I have also been training her, making sure she is physically strong, not that she needs it for I will always be there to protect her, but just in case, better safe then sorry now.

She was looking tired, I frowned, a few hours ago I had asked her to stop, and she refused, as always. So stubborn. I am now just waiting for her to collapse. We are stopping now.

'My love, we should stop.' I sent. She didn't even bother to tear her gaze from the book she was currently looking at.

"Jack, I'm fine."

No she wasn't, I can see her shaking, she needs to rest and feed…on…all kind of liquids. I snatched the book from her hand, and snapped it shut. She scowled at me.

"Jack…what did you do that for?"

"I told you we need to stop, look at you."

She looked down at herself; I could help but find it amusing. I cracked up a low laugh and she frowned at me.

"You are tired…you need to rest...and feed. Come."

"Jack let me finish..."

"You said the same thing three hours ago."

"But…Jack…"

I forced her against the bookshelf and kissed her, we were leaving, and if this is the only way was I going to get her to leave then so be it. Once we had withdrawn our tongues, she was gazing at me. I smiled, think my plan worked. I entwined my fingers with hers and picked up our bags and lead her to the exit. She followed willingly, clearly still dazzled from my unexpected kiss.

(Oliver's POV)

Here I was in the repository, I should probably just bring a bed, I always seem to be here. I have been trying to help Sky & Jack. There apparent flee to Europe had not been all that successful, sure they had the protection of the European Coven, but they do not have their support, at least that is what I am getting from Jack. I have been reading about the Roman era, see if I can find any families or blue bloods that may possibly hold a link to or be a gatekeeper. I have spent hours and hours reading, and making notes, still fruitless, but I am not giving up hope, I know I will find something. I am the optimist, plus I am never wrong. My phone started to buzz, I gained a few glares from the other conduits, and I quickly collected my things and headed outside.

"Hello?"

"Oliver, it's me Jack."

"Oh hi, where is Sky?"

"In the bathroom, I'll hand you over when she comes out, ok don't you worry."

I wasn't worrying I rather speak with her then you. I may have given up Sky too you but it does not mean I particularly like you.

"What's up?"

"Just wondering if you found anything?"

"Nope, but I know I will. You?"

"Nope, Fruitless over here too."

Then I remember my very unwelcoming visitor the other day. I needed to tell Jack.

"Oh, Force…there is something else…I need to tell you..."

"What is it?"

"I gained a visit from your oh so pleasant sister."

"Mimi? What did she want?"

"What do you think?"

"You didn't…."

"Of course not! I do love how little faith you have in me. You know you can trust me, I may be the only person you can trust right now."

"Forgive me. I just worry about her safety."

"Don't we all. I'm keeping my tabs on her. Good old technology ey?"

I grinned remembering how I obtained her number, with my good old GPS I will know of her whereabouts in no time.

"Don't underestimate a Hazard-Perry."

Jack laughed, and then I heard a voice in the background.

"What's so funny?"

It was her, it was Schuyler.

"Oliver just said something funny."

"Ollie!"

She was excited to talk to me, oh how I miss her.

"Hazard-Perry, I'll hand you over now."

"Thanks."

"Oh Ollie! I miss you!"

"Hey Sky! I miss you too. How are you?"

"I'm well, don't you worry. How are you?"

"I'm fine, been spending a lot of time in the repository."

"Oh, I hope your school work is not suffering."

I laughed and I could hear Jack laugh too.

"No my school work is fine."

"How is everything state side?"

"Well. The committee are still in tatters, Bliss is out of town. Same old same old. What about you?"

"Rome is so beautiful; we barely had a chance to look around it. When we where there."

"I know. Well Sky I better go. I'll talk with you soon."

"Ok I love you Ollie."

"And I love you."

With that I hanged up. For I loved her so much, letting her go with Jack…hurt so much, but it was the right thing to do. I Oliver Hazard-Perry can get through this. I am strong, maybe not strong in a vampire kind of way, but emotionally. I can get through this, I will.

Thought Oliver deserved his own POV... I do love Ollie :) But I heart Jack more :) Always...Haha anyway...who are everyone's preferences? I also have a think for Kingsley :P he grew on me in the latest book...bad boys not really my thing...but there is something about Kingsley haha :) Sorry about the rabble :)
