Hey guys.
A HUGE Thank you to the people who reviewed. I'm glad to know that my story is a lifeline until the real book comes out. -Smiles-
Also, I would've had this out sooner, but my nieces came over today, and let me tell you, it's hard to do anything when you have an eight year old and a one year old running around. Whew!!
Anywho, enjoy and REviews are LOve!!
Chapter 4 - The Takeover
Bliss Llewellyn didn't know how to handle the situation she was in.
As hard as she seemed to try, he would only push back harder.
She couldn't stop him.
Lucifer...
He would constantly whisper inside her head, trying to take over, and it was gradually getting harder for Bliss to control herself.
Submit. You cannot win against me, my daughter. You must give in.
"Yes. Giving in sounds so--No! No, no, no," Bliss screams to herself. She cannot give in.
She feels the batch of fresh tears as they slide down her cheeks and tries desperately to hold them back, but in the end, knows she can't.
How much longer can she take this? How long would it go on?
Daughter, give in. Do not deny your lineage, as you have done in the past. Do not deny me, and what you are. Submit...
Once again Bliss screams "No" to the voice in her head.
But she can already feel a blackout coming on.
Desperately wanting to escape the voice in her head, Bliss starts to hum loudly, trying to block out his voice...
But she can't, and soon, Bliss becomes dizzy and disoriented. She gets up off the floor where she's been curled for the last hour, and crawls up onto her bed.
Her vision starts to fade in and out.
No.
She's got to stay in control. She can't let him take over... But God, the relief of letting go would be so great...
Lucifer sees his opportunity.Yes, my daughter. Let go. Let me take over for a little while...
Bliss's last thought before she passes out is that she is not what she hoped to be.
Strong.
She realizes that she isn't strong enough to fight him off...
Bliss succumbs.
Schuyler Van Alen jolted awake in a daze, feeling confused and disoriented.
Slowly taking in the scene around her, Sky soon realizes that she's back in her own bedroom, with Beauty laying quietly beside her.
How did she end up getting back home?
As she glances down, she sees a note on one of her pillows.
It's from Oliver, and from the way it's written, he's probably worrying his head off about her.
Oliver was the one who had brought her home.
The note also ordered her to call him tomorrow, so they could talk about whatever had happened.
Ugh...
Rolling back over, Schuyler let out a groan, desperately trying to remember the last several hours.
What had happened?
Oh...
Running into Jack, the hurt in his eyes, the confrontation with Mimi...
And it was then that it came to her.
The bonding.
Schuyler felt a sob rise in her throat from out of nowhere and tried to contain it, but her efforts were pointless. Not long afterwards, tears start to fall onto her cheeks.
Her heart hurts, and she feels as if it's had been ripped out of her chest and torn in two right in front of her very eyes.
And Schuyler had a feeling that the pain wouldn't be going away anytime soon.
Jack was getting bonded...
And in a month, no less.
Which meant in a month, she would lose him forever...
Another sob escaped her throat. From beside her, Beauty whined softly and nuzzled her head up against Schuyler's cheek, offering what comfort she could. Schuyler wound her arms around Beauty, burying her face inside the dog's thick fur as the tears started to fall harder.
She would be losing the only person she had ever loved with her whole heart in less than a month.
There would be no more intimate moments between Jack and her, which meant no more looks, no more touches or kisses.
No more her and him.
A part of Schuyler's heart broke and fell away, and she didn't have to wonder where it had gone.
Jack would always carry the piece with him, whether he knew it or not.
And it was in that moment that Schuyler cried with everything she had in her.
Slowly and gradually, her tears started to ease, and after what seemed like hours later, her tears stopped, and the only reason they did was because there were none left to cry.
Schuyler would never be whole again, and she would have to accept that.
Out of nowhere, Beauty started to growl next to Schuyler, grabbing her attention, and a moment later a sound from her closet made her freeze.
What the hell was that?
Listening as closely as she can, she waits to hear it again.
But she doesn't.
The feeling that she's being watched doesn't go away though. Beauty's growling starts to get louder, and soon her teeth are bared.
Maybe it wouldn't hurt to just check and make sure.
Just to be safe.
Getting up off her bed, Schuyler slowly walks up to the closet, scared to pull open the doors and immediately feeling silly for it.
She was a vampire, for God's sake.
Beauty started to bark violently from behind her.
Schuyler knows she shouldn't be as terrified as she feels right now. Besides, it was probably nothing anyways. Her mind and Beauty's instincts were probably just overreacting.
Yep. That was it--
Schuyler pulled the door open, just barely getting a flash of crimson eyes and sliver pupils.
A silver blood.
Schuyler was immediately tackled to the floor, and before she could even try to defend herself or scream, she felt a pair of fangs sink into her throat.
Oh God. This was it.
This was the way Schuyler Van Alen would die...
So... A cliffhanger... Yeah, I'm evil that way, and that's the way I wanted to end it.
Reviews make me write faster!! LOlz.
Look for more drama in the next chapter, and let's just say that certain instincts of Jack's will rear their beautiful head...
