Chapter 13
Henry had to go to the Headmistress' office to officially register for classes and to receive his books. He hated leaving Schuyler especially now after Jack saw them in the hallway. Henry knew about Jack's temper and his temptations with Gabrielle. Henry knew that Jack's infatuation with Schuyler was just temporary and he just had to keep Schuyler busy and away from Jack until the bonding.
Henry hurried through the paperwork and received his books. He was walking to his first period class, when he realized he had to make a phone call regarding the research that Oliver and he were working on.
Henry stepped outside and dialed a number.
"Hello, may I speak to Phillip Weston. This is his son, Henry."
"Henry, is there something wrong? You know the rule not to call unless there is imminent danger." Mr. Weston replied.
"Yes, father I understand, but I feel that this regards imminent danger. The twins are having their bonding ceremony on Friday and Lucifer is back." Henry went on to explain to his father the events that had happen over the course of the past week.
"Henry, have you done your research?"
"Yes, father, but Oliver, the conduit, and I are having difficulty locating any information."
"What about the girl?"
"She is under my protection. Charles has her under my care when she is not with him."
"Good. I will let the Queen Mum know that you are in control of the asset. Oh Henry, during your research check out the Black Hymnal. The Ancients put everything in songs that you will have to decode."
"Thank you, father."
Henry put his phone back into his pocket and walked back into the school.
Schuyler was daydreaming while the teacher was going on about the history of bonding. Schuyler felt like the world was revolving around the twins' bonding. Schuyler's mind was wondering to the twins' bonding and how over the top it was going to be; how in your face Mimi was going to be with her.
Oliver was interested in the topic because he thought if he paid attention then he might catch some useful information for their research. All the teacher was going over was how when two Blue Bloods bonded their strengths intensified. Oliver knew this already, but he did wonder if Schuyler had a soul mate how powerful would their strengths be?
Henry walked into the classroom and found Schuyler looking up to him. He couldn't get over how beautiful and pure she was. Henry knew he couldn't fall for her because she was part of the job. Only if he knew that Schuyler was starting to like him and the comfort that he brought her. Henry took the seat next to her and squeezed Schuyler's hand. Jack saw this and could feel the rage raising inside of him. Jack stood up and walked out of the classroom before he could make a scene. That was the last thing he wanted to do. Jack felt like he could tear that Henry guy apart. Who did he think he was coming in here and stealing Schuyler away from him? Jack didn't like the fact the Henry was consuming all of Schuyler's time. He had no way of getting to her. All Jack wanted to do was to hold Schuyler in his arms and never let her go.
Schuyler didn't noticed that Jack had left the classroom, but Henry and Oliver did and they knew that there could be trouble. Schuyler was thinking about Henry. When he squeezed her hand she didn't feel sparks like she did with Jack. Instead, she felt warmth; the warmth that you feel when you spend Christmas with family and this made Schuyler wonder what is it about Henry that made her feel that way. Schuyler looked at Henry, he wasn't Jack. He didn't have Jack's temperament, he was kind, gentle and he was simple. Schuyler liked simple, she was simple.
