Chapter 5
Lucifer grabbed Mimi around the neck. "Hello, My sweet Azreal"
"Lucifer", Mimi screamed with hatred.
"Ah, Azreal why don't you leave the Blue Bloods and return to your family, where you could be the right hand of the Silver Bloods."
"I will never leave the Blue Bloods."
"Oh, not even if Abaddon leaves you for the light, where I am standing it doesn't look like he wants you. Why can't you see that? Every cycle he chases the light and you chase him, when is he going to chase you?" With that comment, Mimi kicked Lucifer in the stomach sending him into the wall.
"Touchy subject with you, Azreal."
Charles and Jack turned the corner to Mimi with a sword withdrawn and pointed at Lucifer.
"Ah, Michael and Abaddon nice to see the both of you, what a shame Gabrielle could not join us," Lucifer said with a laugh. Lucifer raised his hand and disappeared.
"Mimi, are you alright? What happen?" Jack made his way over to Mimi to comfort her.
"I don't know, Jack," Mimi said shaking her head. "I was talking to Bliss and I turned around to walk off and then Lucifer called my name. By the time I turned around he had me by the throat." Mimi did not dare finish the rest of the story because she knew deep down inside of her that Lucifer was right.
Schuyler awoke with a terrible headache and a dry throat; she couldn't remember a thing from the Ball last night. She looked over at the alarm clock sitting next to her bed; it said 3:30 a.m. Schuyler felt something move next to her and realized that it was Oliver. Schuyler slowly got out of her bed and decided to go downstairs for a drink and a snack. As Schuyler was walking down the stairs, she saw that the kitchen light was on. "Oliver probably forgot to shut it off." Schuyler reached the kitchen and discovered Henry sitting at the bar reading the newspaper.
"Umm hello, I didn't know you were awake yet."
"Sorry I didn't know I had to let someone know that I was."
"No, I didn't mean anything by that; it is just that Oliver was supposed to let me know, so I could have some blood ready for you. Here come sit down and I will fix you some."
"Ok, but will you tell me what is going on."
"Well, you have been asleep for about 24 hours. You had Oliver scared, but Dr. Pat told us that it was nothing. She said that you body is really working overtime because of the mix of red and blue blood and that you are not keeping up with your feedings.
"I am having some issues with the feeding aspect of being a Blue Blood. It just seems so barbaric."
"Oliver told me all about it and we came up with a plan with some help from Dr. Pat."
"Are you going to let me in on this plan and tell me what happen at the Ball?"
"I will but drink this first." Henry handed Schuyler a coffee cup filled with some warmed blood. Schuyler took a sip of it and looks at Henry with a horrified expression.
"Don't worry Schuyler Oliver was not harmed in the making of your drink." Henry said with a hint of laughter.
"But I am not supposed to use Oliver as my human familiar." Schuyler looked down at her cup with worry that Charles would finding out.
"You are not using Oliver as your familiar, it is donated blood. It just happens to be Oliver's."
"What? Oliver donates his blood, he never told me that."
"No not like that. Oliver donates his blood to Dr. Pat's office, so that she could use it, but she only will use it for you. It was her idea that he does it to help you with your feeding and to go around Charles rules. See you are not using Oliver for your familiar and there will be no fang marks. You will still be attached to Oliver, but not in the romantic way. Plus, Dr. Pat is supplementing Oliver's blood with other blood to help keep up with your feedings."
"Wow, I never would of thought of that. Charles didn't say anything about donor blood. So what happen at the Ball? All that I remember is Mimi's announcement." Just saying it made Schuyler remember the feeling of betrayal from Jack and the sadness in his eyes. Henry came and sat down next to Schuyler with his cup of tea.
"After Mimi's announcement you said you need some air. As we were leaving there was a scream and I had to use the "Dormio" on you. I am very sorry, but they said Lucifer returned and I couldn't take any chances with you. So I used the spell and carried you out to the back door to Oliver's waiting car. Oliver and I brought you back here where you then went into hibernation mode."
"I can't believe you did that to me. I could have taken care of myself. Is this what Charles wanted you to is babysit me." Schuyler was starting to get defensive about this situation and Henry being here.
"No, Schuyler it is not like that at all. Please calm down and I will explain."
"I will not calm down. I can't believe this is happening. Charles is trying to control every aspect of my life. I can't believe I fell for it."
Oliver had awakened to Schuyler yelling and ran down to the kitchen. He saw Schuyler on one side of the counter and Henry on the other arguing with each other.
"What is going on? It is four in the morning." Oliver said as he rubbed his eyes to help adjust to the kitchen lights. Schuyler walked over to Oliver and put her head on his shoulder.
"We can't trust Henry. He used the dormio spell on me and Charles is having him spy on me."
Oliver wrapped his arms around Schuyler. "Did he tell you everything that happened?"
"Yes'" Schuyler said.
"No, she got upset when I told her about using the spell on her and brings her here." Henry interrupted.
Oliver walked over to the counter and sat down at the bar. He eyed the coffee cup filled with blood and turned to Henry.
"I see you told her about the blood plan." Oliver joked about it with Henry. This made Schuyler feel uncomfortable for they were joking together and talking about Oliver's blood.
"Ollie, I am sorry I went into hibernation and that I wasted a whole day not spending it with you." Schuyler said this with a guilty look on her face Oliver reached over and hugged her.
"Sky, you scared me, but Dr. Pat said it would be ok. Plus it gave Henry and me some time to do some talking. Did you know he is royalty?"
Schuyler turned to Henry with her arms crossed and demanded that he explain himself to her. Henry was reluctant to tell Schuyler why he was here. He didn't want to upset her or push her away. Oliver turned to Schuyler and told her to sit down. Schuyler looked at Oliver with suspicion, but sat down. Something inside of her told her that something was up.
