Chapter 10: Wrapped

~ Jack woke up slowly getting the urge to feed. He was never this hungry even when he had practice and was practically starving after the hard workout. No, not like that, worse. Jack felt a sharp pain in his arm and pulled his long pajama silk sleeve up. His arm was glowing, a blue soft glow and noticed that his blue veins were twisting up and down his arm. Jack screamed.~

He had never been that terrified in his life, until now. Her piercing green eyes that matched his in every way were seeing every movement, every breath, that he took. Jack couldn't believe his eyes. How could she be in front of him? Why was she even here? Then Jack heard himself softly whisper.

"Mimi!" She did not blink. She looked so indifferent that he was there. So soulless.

"Jack. Or do you go by something different now. Maybe using you original name would be best." She smiled looking at him like prey.

"It's still Jack. Do you still go by Mimi?"

"Mimi will do nicely. What are you doing here, running away from your half-blooded abomination like you ran away from me?"

"Do not talk about her like that, you have no right anymore." Jack hissed at her. If what she wanted was a fight then a fight she would get.

"Oh I don't particularly care about that much anymore. I have someone better than you could have ever been."

"Congratulations."

"Jack." He heard Schuyler say. She had totally forgotten that she was even there. Not even Mimi had noticed her, until now.

"Your still alive I see. We didn't know what would have happened to you since you are the first of our kind." Mimi said looking down on her, as if Schuyler was a mere bug getting in her way.

"What are you talking about?" Schuyler asked.

"You don't know? How old are you anyways?" Mimi didn't really care but she still asked.

"Fourteen. Don't know what?" Schuyler was getting scared, and Jack was getting worried that Mimi would reveal anything before Schuyler was ready.

"That young huh, well no wonder you don't know anything, if you want to know I guess I'll be nice enough to tell you…."

"Mimi enough." Jack roared. If he had to he would transform into Abbadon and kill her for good this time.

Mimi looked at him amused by his outburst. He would have never done that in his previous live, he would have let her do whatever she wanted. But when it came to Schuyler the rules changed and he would stop at nothing to keep her safe.

"Jack what is she talking about?" Schuyler turned to him, her eyes having a frightened look in them. He couldn't blame her for it.

"No need to worry about it. Why don't you go to the car for now?" He asked as kindly as possible keeping his voice sweet.

"I don't want to go to the car, I want to know what she's talking about. Now!" Schuyler demanded.

"She gotten a little feisty hasn't she, sort of reminds me of myself when I was younger. I like it." Mimi said smiling at Schuyler.

"Stay out of this Mimi. It has nothing to do with you." Jack glared at her. Warning written all over his eyes.

"Schuyler go to the car, and I mean now. I don't have time for games."

"Aren't you being a little mean Abbadon, she's just curious. Nothing wrong with that." Mimi interrupted.

You were always curious when it came to her, now it's her turn. Who knows maybe she will find someone better than you in the near future.

Curiosity killed the cat Mimi.

Well then maybe Schuyler will die.

"Why did she call you Abbadon?" Schuyler asked. "What's an Abbadon anyway?"

"Schuyler I told you to leave." Jack then used to glom to get her to go and wait inside the car.

"Now we can get down to business. What are you doing here Mimi?" Jack asked. "You were never interested in History."

"It's such a boring subject. I mean who cares what happened in the past when humans were involved."

"I'm surprised Azrael, you were always stuck in the past." She rolled her green eyes.

"Not anymore, I can assure you that much. Now what I really want to know is what you were doing with the half-blood in a hotel." She smiled a cat-like smile.

"Vacation, but that's not really important now is it."

"I think it is. Why haven't you told her that she's a vampire yet?

"You know very well that she is too young to know, and she has to realize it on her own without any help." He looked at Schuyler sitting on the car, her head down on her chest.

"Hmm I guess your right, but you still haven't told me why your with her here?" Jack ignored the question, instead asking.

"Is that the Venator you left with?" The young man was staring at both of them. He had light brown hair and hazel eyes.

"The Venator has a name and its Kingsley. And no it is not him." She ran a long nail down the boy's neck. "He is just my meal for the morning."

"I see." Is all that Jack said.

"Well it was…nice to see you again Abbadon, I hope we see more of each other soon." She said going over to him and kissed him on the cheek. Her kiss felt like a curse.

"Yes, it was a very nice chat. Good-bye Azrael." Jack went over to the car and old the driver to take them to the airport. He did not look back at his ex-twin.

Jack looked over at Schuyler who was fast asleep. He laid her head on his shoulder so she wouldn't have neck pains later in the day. He still couldn't believe that he had seen Mimi, and that she didn't take out her claws and rip his face in half. She did look different though, a little nicer perhaps. She had the same face as their last life, but then again so did he. She must have been an inmortal Jack concluded.

Then Jack did something that he never thought he would do. He erased Schuyler's memories of what had just happened. She didn't need to know anyone by the name of Mimi or ask questions about her identity. She wasn't fifteen yet.

When they finally arrived that the Airport it was already afternoon and Jack was starving. He had only drank blood a few days ago but he was hungry again. He did not understand why he was always this hungry but it was really starting to annoy him. He decided that once he went back to New York he would go and visit Dr. Kat. Her name sounded very familiar for some reason, but he did not remember. His memories hadn't funny arrived yet.

Jack saw an average looking French worker and used the glom to take her behind a building. He extended his fangs and drank from her. He didn't have time to woo her or whatever so he had just decided to use the glom. She made a moaning sound in the back of her throat and clutched his arms.

When Jack was finally done he made her forget and made her go home making up an excuse that she wasn't feeling well. Which she really wasn't since she just lost a lot of blood. The blood that Jack really wanted was Schuyler's. But he couldn't have hers. Not yet anyway.

He went back to the car and picked up Schuyler, one arm under her knees another under her arms, since she couldn't very well walk. Schuyler had not woken up since he had used the glom on her. She sighed when he started walking towards the jet, Schuyler grabbed the front of his shirt with her hands and held on to him.

Once Jack and Schuyler arrive to Venice it was around 3:00. Schuyler had woken up only minutes before excited to be seeing the painting and had completely forgotten that she had met Mimi. Jack hadn't wanted to do that but he didn't really have much choice in the matter.

The went to the Museum and walked around looking at painting such as The Kiss, Meeting in the Middle, Passionate Kiss, Moment Before the Kiss and many more. After a while they all started to look the same to him. Jack didn't understand why Schuyler loved these painting so much, they were vulgar to him. The painter must have been obsessed with naked women Jack thought.

They finally arrived at the painting that Schuyler wanted to see so much. The Embrace.

"It's so beautiful." Schuyler said getting as close as possible to the painting.

"Why is that?" Jack asked her.

"Because they look like they could never be together again. Its so sad, that's why its so beautiful." Schuyler said it as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

"But they are together now, so why not enjoy it?"

"Because Jack," Schuyler felt like she was explaining it to a child. "Even if they are together this one time, it doesn't mean they will be together again."

"But can't they just go to a secret place without anyone knowing."

"I don't know, Jack. I'm not Egon." Schuyler sighed heavily.

"Well I don't think they should give up, if they want to be together than they can be together." Jack said meaning the two of them In their past life but she thought he meant the painting.

"That's what I think too but this is just the way that the artist made it and that's the way it is. The painting seems familiar to me somehow." She looked confused.

"Could it be because you have seen it so many times on the computer?" He asked her. It seemed familiar to him too but he didn't know why.

"Possibly, but I don't know I have this weird feeling about it."

"Have you come here with anyone else before?" Jack asked.

"No this is my first time here but I don't know the painting just looks familiar. Its probably just déjà vu."

"That's probably true" Jack was also getting something from the painting but he like Schuyler didn't know what it was. "What now?"

"I don't know." Schuyler said looking at him from the corner of her lovely blue eye.

"Should we go home?"

"I guess, unless you want to go somewhere?" She asked.

"As long as your with me I don't care. But I think its about time we got home, mom and dad would hate it if we missed anymore school." Jack didn't really want to leave all this behind but he had to tell Michael that he had met up with Azrael.

"You don't care if its me as long as someone is beside you." Schuyler joked as they were leaving the museum and the strange painting behind.

"That's so not true." Jack said grabbing her by the wait so they would walk together in unison.

"Uhuh whatever you say brother. Whatever you say." Jack got an annoying feeling when she called her brother. He was far from being her brother.

"Don't call me that." He said annoyed.

"Don't call you what?" She asked puzzled.

"Brother, don't call me brother."

"Why?" She asked. "You are my brother." How wrong she was.

"Yeah I know but it sounds strange."

"I'll try to refrain from calling you that in public, sir." Making a military like voice and saluting him.

Jack laughed and hugged her tightly. They finally made it back to the car but they were already soaked from the rain that had begin mere minutes after they left the museum. Schuyler had wanted to run but Jack enjoyed rain and the slower they went to the car the more time he had to spent with her.

Schuyler was soaked from head to toe and although Jack didn't want to admit he could see her black lace braw that her blue dress wasn't hiding very well. He got an urge to remove everything that she was wearing and just kiss her all over. But he again refrained himself from doing anything rash. Jack didn't know how much longer he could keep this up.

By the time they went to the jet and headed for America, Jack had calmed down. Don't get it wrong he still wanted to do things to her that he shouldn't be thinking about but he had stopped the urge to reveal to her what they truly were. He just had to keep telling himself that she was too young, be he didn't know if that would work anymore.

Schuyler went inside the big bathroom to change clothes and take a shower. When she came out her hair was cascading down her back with a raven color to it. She looked refreshed and healthy. He wanted to run his fingers down her half wet half dry hair just as she had done when they were in the jet days before.

When she had done that he had hopped that she had remember but alas she hadn't. The gesture had make him happy though. And at the hotel when he was pretending to sleep he had gotten the idea to drag her to bed with him, her thinking he was asleep. It had worked and when he woke up the next morning her head in his arm, her own arms wrapped around his wait and his only usable one doing the same, he thought he was the luckiest man in the world.

He had kissed her on the forehead and ordered pancakes because those were her favorite, and of course the strawberries were his own idea.

Now she was laying in a bed that was only in the Force's jet. Many had copied their idea when news had come out but they were the original. Schuyler eventually fell asleep and Jack, not wanting to sleep alone, went over to her bed and wrapped his arms around her small waist and fell asleep.

Can I ask for 5 or so reviews before chapter 11? I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter.
