Hey guys, So I am behind since I have three essays to write due the first week of November…..I still need to type them up…..:S I got the marked one done…..and in process of doing the ones that are not marked ha. A whole lotta work unfortunately but I am trying to keep up…though I am ever so behind….and now I have started another story…paper wise anyway…I get way too many ideas :( Maybe I should just focus on one and get that out of the way. But BB has a way to go and so does my Costa Verde story….bugger.

Anyway. Here is chapter 10 of 'If there is a will there is a way'.

And about time really. My apologise. I know what it is like to wait.

(Chapter 10)

(Mimi's POV)

Finally! I get to see the countess. After a month! A month!

I am lead to her by some scabby French red blood. There sitting on a chair, was an elegant looking woman, I always imagined her as an old bat. But this woman, she was beautiful, even if she was lined with wrinkles. She looked in her 50s rather than her 70s. I was speechless. I just stood there staring at the woman. That is a first for me. Usually it is the other way round. People are staring and admiring me.

"Well well, isn't it Azrael, never the patient one."

"Countess."

I bowed, flushing red for some stupid reason.

"So you are the infamous Madeline Force. Queen of New York. So what brings you're here, here in Paris."

"I think you know what I seek."

"Ah. I see. Your twin. Abbadon. I can't say he hasn't come by. But then again I can't say he has. Tell me why you seek him."

"You know why."

What was this bitch doing? I know she has seen Jack! I am not stupid. I may be blonde but not stupid.

"He did an Allegra? And funny how that saying is Ironic. He chose Allegra's daughter, our saviour…over you."

Her words stabbed me, just a little. Though I love Kingsley. It still pains me. I still love Jack in some ways. I mean he is my god damn twin.

"Yes that little bitch."

"Ah so you seek to destroy your brother and his lover. Am I correct?"

Damn right she was.

"He forsook the code, the code of the Blue Bloods. He must be punished. I am not like Michael; I can and will kill my twin. Surely you do not take likely to those who break the code."

"Indeed, Azrael I do not. It is a shame really. I was quite fond of Abbadon. Remember dear sister, how we all pined for him…even if I was a few years beyond him."

"Sister?"

What on earth was she talking about? Sister? Wait. Of course Drusilla!

"Drusilla?"

"Ah yes, my dear Agrippina. There were four of us. Sophia and…."

"Maria. Our golden girl. Oh so perfect Maria."

"You were never fond of our dear cousin were you?"

"She took a lot of Jack….I mean Valerius attention."

"You know it was only ever a sibling love. You know that. Valerius was only ever devoted to you. Maria was always protective of him and of Gemellus. Even after he betrayed our kind! She forgave him! Like Michael did. He gives mercy to a silver blood!"

Gemellus….Kingsley…her words hurt me. She does not think likely of Kingsley either. I do remember she did not like the idea of him living. She was so against him living, and then again so was I. Back then I did not care for him. That was one of the reasons she never liked Michael. If it wasn't for Maria…Kingsley would have been dead….he is dead now….gone…I do owe it to her though….if she gave up on him, if she did not help him….I would have never fallen in love with him. I would have never almost found happiness. Oh Kingsley. I miss you.

"Gemellus went on and done great things for us blue bloods. Though he may have silver blood, he is not like the other….not like the 'brother' you fell in love with."

"I did not know who he was dear Azrael! How was I too known the man I loved was a silver blood….the devil."

She sounded angry and upset….she literally had to spit out the word devil. She must be ashamed to have ever loved Lucifer.

"Do you know where my brother is?"

"I do. What makes you think I will distribute such information to you? You want to harm two wonderful people."

"Because I know that you believe in the code, you have never been fond of code breakers. This is how our society should be run."

"Indeed, you are right. But Schuyler is a wonder person; surely you will not harm her? Perhaps you could bargain with your brother."

"What if I cannot? What if I am left with no choice but to kill them, for my own protection? Will you call me a murderer?"

"If it comes down to self defence then I assure you I will not brand you a murderer. Your brother. Is in Rome. But he knows you are here. It seems someone else knows of your travels. He and his lover are leaving Rome; you will never get to them on time."

"So how do I find him? If he knows where I am."

Who on earth told him? How did he know? Who could be keeping tabs on me!

"Jack has thought about things logically. Lets just say, the closer you are to danger, the further away from harm you will be."

The closer you are to danger, the further away from harm you will be? What is that suppose to mean? But of course! He is coming to Paris. It makes sense. He will think that I am on a wild goose chase, running around Europe to find him. He thinks Paris will be the last place I would be. But he is wrong.

"How smart of my brother. He is coming to France. Tell me Isabella, when will he arrive?"

"Tomorrow. He will not be coming back here. I am leaving town today. I have arranged for him and Schuyler to stay in a house, a small house just outside Paris. A little further from red bloods, so if this is a blood bath red bloods will be spared."

"Thank you. This is for the great good of our kind."

"Well we shall toast to that shall we not?"

She handed me a class of French red wine and we both toasted. To the good of our kind. All I have to do is wait. While I have time, I am going to see if I can find out who has been spying on me. Who does that person think they are? No one messes with Mimi Force. No one.

(Oliver's POV)

I have been in Paris for almost a month now, and still Mimi hasn't been able to see the countess. Mimi seems quite adamant that the countess is the key to finding her brother, admittedly she is. It is November now and it is getting bitterly cold. I miss Sky terribly; I do hope she is ok. Well I know she and Jack argued, but they have made up. Jack wasn't too pleased to hear that I told Sky, but what could I do? I hate lying to her anyway.

I am in the French repository. Reading up on Rome…still….it is so fascinating. The Angel of Guidance. She has long been forgotten, neglected perhaps. She left the blue blood world, to live alone. Well away from the whole shenanigans that come with the blue bloods society. Then are known as the Off- Coven. Something the Ward family where. Of course they knew the Wards, I mean one time Elias the Angel of Time was brother to a past live of Dylan Ward. It is clear that Elias went with her, after all he loves her.

Suddenly I felt as if I am being watched. I turn quickly and felt the eyes tear from my back. I get this strange feeling something bad is going to happen. Just a hunch, but enough to leave a note, just in case something does happen. When I finally felt, like I was truly alone, I wrote a note, and slipped it into the book I was reading. It read.

"I am Oliver Hazard-Perry, I am a conduit. I think I may just need your help. 07765483747."

I closed the book that read Sariel. Gather my belongings and headed out of the repository. I opened up my phone only to find my phone telling me that Mimi Force is in Rome. I must get back to the hotel, get back to my room pack and once I am in the airport I need to ring Jack…tell them that Mimi is on her way.

Once I arrived back at the hotel, I nearly knocked the poor footman to the ground as I launched myself through the doors of the hotel and through the waiting elevator to my room. Once I entered my room, I suddenly got the same feeling, the very feeling when I was in the repository. I am not alone. Closing the door, I walked slowly. Clutching my umbrella, even though I know it is useless. I know I am going up against a blue blood. I am in the middle of the room. Then I heard a voice, an ice cold voice. A voice that is so familiar to me.

"Drop the weapon Hazard – Perry, you know it will be no use."

I turned to where the voice came from, and there stood by the door, by the only exit route. The blonde bombshell. The one and only deadly Mimi Force.

(Mimi's POV)

Hazard-Perry! Of course it was him! Who followed me all the way from New York. Following me around Paris. I have been too busy trying to get an audience with the Countess that I didn't realise I was being followed! Out smarted by a conduit, by a red blood! Not anymore! What a fool, what a fool to follow a blue blood. Especially a blue blood like me. Does he not know that he shouldn't be messing with a Force? Clearly did not learn his lesson with Jack when he took the half blood from him. Jack may have not beaten him to the pulp when Schuyler chose Hazard - Perry over him. But I am different. I am Azrael, Angel of Death. I found him in the repository, and followed him to his hotel, when he realised that I was left the country, little to his knowledge I had slipped my phone into my familiar's bag and ordered for him to go to Italy, of course I purchased the ticket with my card. Just to make sure Hazard-Perry buys it.

When we arrived back in his room, he soon realised that he was not alone. He gripped his umbrella tightly and walked further into the room. Perfect.

"Drop the weapon Hazard – Perry, you know it will be no use."

He turned slowly, I expected to see fear in his eyes, but there was none. Brave man Hazard-Perry.

"Well it is Mimi Force."

"So it was you who ratted out my whereabouts to my brother is it not?"

"Perhaps it was."

"Why would you do that? You despise my brother. He took the one you love."

"Actually I let her go."

Oh how sweet he let that witch go. So he was the one who texted my brother, telling him to meet him the day we where suppose to bond.

"You have nowhere to run now Hazard- Perry. No one to save you. You never mess with a Force."

And with that last remark I launched myself at him. I am changing, changing to my true nature to my true form. I let my true form take over.

I took it too far. I almost killed the red blood. Quickly composing myself, I made sure he was still breathing and left, left for the sweet little house where I will be waiting. Waiting for my brother.

(New York, New York)

(Avery's POV)

I had found information of a conduit. Named Oliver Hazard – Perry. He was Schuyler Van Alen's conduit and familiar. He was last to check out the books about Rome, about me. I gathered information that he had left for Paris. The same night Mimi Force left. He took of suddenly, well according to his mother anyway.

Taylor & I are in the first class lounge waiting for our flight to Paris.

"My love, you are still thinking about Hazard-Perry?"

I turned to look at Taylor, damn him for reading my mind.

"I get this gut feeling that he is important, that he is linked to this fight. I get the feeling that we may have to help him."

"Avery, we don't have time, from what I have seen, once we arrive in Paris we must get to that house, before Jack & Schuyler do. Or all hell breaks loose."

"It is just a gut feeling Taylor…I feel I need to help him."

"We need to save your brother, save Schuyler, for the great good of our kind."

He was right, we need to save Schuyler. She is our saviour. She is our light. She is the one who can help us once and for all defeat Lucifer. But why oh why am I getting the feeling that Oliver needs my help?

Little to anyone's knowledge, to Mimi's knowledge, the true intentions of the Countess. You see Isabelle did not ever intend for Schuyler & Jack to find the other gatekeepers. She has been sending the couple on a wild goose chase, but Abbadon ever the impatient one was getting restless and suspicious. That is why she was so willing to give Mimi the key information that would help her find Jack. For she knew Mimi would finish her twin off, once and for all. Eliminating the saviour, Schuyler and her lover, and the very one who betrayed Lucifer in the first place. Abbadon.

You see her allegiances are with those who have eyes the colour of blood and silver running through their veins. Her allegiances run deep with the man she still loves, with her emperor, her lover Lucifer.

This is a short chapter, I must admit I am sorry about that. Anyway a long time no see for Mimi & Oliver. Muhahaha! They are back. Well Mimi is back with a vengeance! Let me know what you think :) You may have wait a long time for another chap...please do not lose faith in me :( I would love to know what you think PLEASE! the good and the bad :) Please :)
