Chapter 12

Bliss was thinking about her latest reading of Maggie Stanford and it just made her uneasy. "Something just seems off." Bliss' headache started to get worse as she entered her building. Bliss knew what was coming; a visit from her father. Bliss entered her room and was making her way to her bathroom for a long bath when she felt his presence.

"Hello, father"

"Daughter, why were you at the Repository for so long?"

"I was just doing some research on the Blue Bloods."

"Why do you need to know about them? Soon they will be done with."

"I was just looking at how they were overcome in the past. I just don't want to make the same mistake."

"I am impressed with your eagerness, daughter. There might be a place for you after all." With that Lucifer left feeling pleased with Bliss. While, Bliss was relieved that Lucifer bought her lie.

Henry and Oliver had been at their research all night. When Henry realized that he had to be at the Force's to pick up Schuyler in five minutes.

"Oliver, we got to go. I have to pick up Schuyler and we need to get to school on time to keep up appearances." Oliver hadn't realized what time it had turn into.

"Ok, I will meet you and Sky at school. I am going to stop, change and get some coffee."

Schuyler was up early to get ready for school. Truth be told, she didn't sleep at all last night. After what happen at dinner last night, Schuyler was so proud of her, but the look on Jack's face killed Schuyler. Schuyler was sitting at the counter picking at her bagel.

"You know Miss Schuyler it is better to eat your food then to play with it."Linda, the Force's servant, said in a joking manner.

"Sorry Linda, I am just nervous about Henry picking me up for school." The truth was Schuyler wished Henry would pick her up before she had an encounter with Jack. Schuyler had been avoiding Jack since dinner last night and she was just ready to get out of there before Jack came down. The icy glare he gave her last night stood out in her mind.

Schuyler heard a car door shut, with her vampire hearing and speed, she was at the front door before Henry could ring the doorbell.

"I am so glad to see you. Let's hurry up and get to school, but I need to get a coffee first." Schuyler was pretty much dragging Henry to the car.

"I am glad to see you too. I see that we weren't the only ones to have a rough night. Oliver is getting our coffee and meeting us at school." Henry said as he opened Schuyler's car door.

Jack was up in his room getting ready and replaying last night in his head. He couldn't believe that Schuyler was seeing someone else. It was like he didn't mean anything to her after everything they had been through, but he couldn't blame her. It was him that was bonding to Mimi on Friday not her, but it still hurt. Jack had tried to talk to Schuyler last night, but when he snuck into her room she was in the bathroom taking a bath. He tried again later, but was caught by Mimi and her planning of the bonding. That is where he stayed for the rest of the night with Mimi and her watchful eye. Jack didn't know what he was going to do, but he was going to have to keep his mind close to Mimi while thinking about it.

"So you two didn't get anywhere last night?" Schuyler asked trying to distract herself from her mind.

"There is just so much information and we don't know where to start looking. We would just open a book and start reading. We still don't know what we are looking for."

"Is there anyone we can ask that won't get suspicious of us?"

"I know just the person to call, but I will have to wait to later. Right now, we need to play our couple mode for everyone to buy."

Henry pulled into the school parking lot. Schuyler knew he was right because Jack and Mimi, plus the rest of the school, where going to watching their every move. Schuyler didn't think this would be this hard. Henry was quite good-looking, had an impressive personality plus that British accent made girls go crazy. Henry came around to Schuyler's door an opened it; Schuyler stepped out and started looking for Oliver. She needed her coffee now. Schuyler locked arms with Henry as they walked to their lockers and there was Oliver waiting with her coffee.

"So, I hear you guys had a rough night studying?"

"Yea, there is so much to go through and we don't know what we are looking for."

"Yea, that is what Henry told me."

"Hey, I am going to go get my books for this semester. I will meet you two in class." Henry said then kissed Schuyler on her forehead. This reminded her of the way Jack use to kiss her. Schuyler looked up and smiled until she saw Jack staring at her.

Oliver realized what had happen and he didn't feel bad for jack. Jack needed to leave Schuyler alone. Plus, Oliver felt that Henry was a much better person for Schuyler. For some unknown reason to Oliver, he kind of wanted Schuyler to be with Henry; since, he couldn't be with her given that he was a red-blood.

"Sky, it's alright. He will be fine," Oliver said trying to sound sincere.

"I know, Ollie. It just hard knows that I am hurting him."

"Sky, you can't fall for that. You have to stick to the plan. Think of it this way. By you sticking to the plan you are saving his life and soul." Oliver knew by playing the Jack card he would win.

"You're right, Ollie. I just didn't see it that way. It is better for me to stick to the plan and save him."

In all aspects, Schuyler felt like she was hurting Jack more then anything, but her mother was right. She had to help save the Blue Bloods and to fulfill her destiny.

"Come on Sky, we are going to be late for class."

Schuyler really did like her first period, but she was really hoping for an interesting topic to distract her from her wondering mind.
