Chapter 14

Later that day, Schuyler was to meet Henry at the coffee shop, but she had to run to Vera Wang's office to try on a dress for Mimi's and Jack's bonding. Schuyler promised Trinity that she would be there after school, but Schuyler wanted to be with Henry and Oliver in the Repository. Schuyler made her way into the office and saw Trinity already holding dresses for her to try on.

"Of course, Mimi and Trinity wouldn't let me pick out my own dress for the bonding." Schuyler thought to herself.

"Schuyler, I took the liberty of picking out some dresses for you. They are already in the dressing room waiting for you. So, go ahead back and try them on."

Schuyler thought she could come in and have one of Vera Wang's assistants pick out a dress, try it on and leave. Now, that Trinity was there it was going to take even longer.

Bliss hurried her way out of school to get to her car when Mimi stopped her.

"Bliss, wait a second. I want to see how you are doing?"

"Mimi, you know I have nothing to say to you." Bliss got in her car and drove off, leaving Mimi standing behind. Mimi was offended how dare Bliss not give her the attention she deserved. Mimi was not going to let Bliss get away with this. Mimi got in her car and told the driver to follow Bliss.

Bliss made it to her usual table in the Repository with a set of Blue Blood history books. She couldn't help, but feel like she was being watched. Bliss looked around to see if anyone was watching her, but all she saw was the librarian. The Repository was pretty much empty, but little did Bliss know that she was being watched by Mimi.

"What is Bliss doing?" Mimi asked herself.

Mimi was wondering what Bliss was up to. Bliss got up from the table and headed to the restricted section. Mimi used her vampire speed to check out the books Bliss had left on the table and then she followed her into the restricted section. Mimi found Bliss pulling a big red book of a shelf and glancing through it. Mimi knew that book all to well because she was the one that helped co-wrote it. The book was about Lucifer and the dark period of the Blue Bloods.

"Now, why would Bliss need to know about Lucifer?" Mimi was starting to find all of this to be very interesting. Too bad she had to leave for her waxing appointment, but she knew what Bliss was after now and she couldn't wait to tell Charles.

Mimi had been too busy watching Bliss that she didn't notice Oliver and Henry were in the restricted section, but they saw her.

"What is Mimi doing here?" Henry asked Oliver.

"Who knows? She might be lost." Oliver said with a laugh. Henry watched Mimi and saw that her focus was on Bliss.

"Oliver, who is that girl?" Henry pointed to Bliss.

"Oh that is Bliss. Her and Mimi use to be friends until Bliss became friends with Schuyler. Mimi has a huge thing against Sky."

"Let me guess, it is because of Jack."

"You can say that, but she had it out for Schuyler before Jack came into the picture."

Henry and Oliver found the book they were looking for and made their way to Oliver's table. They opened the Hymnal, but it was for of hymns that they would have to decode.

"This is going to take forever." Oliver complained.

Henry didn't mind; he was supposed to meet Schuyler at the coffee shop, Schuyler texted him. She told him that Trinity was holding her prisoner in a dressing room until they found her a dress. In reality, it was until Trinity found a dress she liked on Schuyler.

"Come on, Oliver there has to be a clue that will help us narrow down the search." Henry asked.

"Okay, let me think about this Leviathan, Lucifer, Jack and Mimi." Oliver was thinking about all the things that were connected to Lucifer.

"I think that is our problem. We are looking at it all wrong." Henry suggested.

"What do you mean by that? We are getting ready to fight Lucifer. So we should be looking for anything pertaining to him."

"What if we look up stuff pertaining to Gabrielle or even the Chosen One in the hymns. Think about it Oliver. There will be less about them then Lucifer. Plus, the Ancient Council would be the only ones to write the hymns about Gabrielle and Schuyler. They would have known about the future."

What Henry didn't tell Oliver was that he had been on the council with Gabrielle, Michael and the twins, but their memories had been erased. True Schuyler and Oliver knew who Henry was in this lifetime; they just didn't know about his past lifetimes. He just wondered how long he could keep those away from them.

Schuyler was annoyed to say the least; she had tried on like fifty dresses in all kinds of colors. Trinity had made Schuyler try on all these dresses for a reason; she was keeping Schuyler from Henry. Trinity knew how much Schuyler meant to Jack and she was going to help him get her back.

"Schuyler, come out and let me see the silver dress." Trinity said.

Schuyler closed her eyes and took a deep breathe before stepping out of the dressing room. Schuyler looked radiated in all the dresses she tried on, but there was something about the silver dress that made her look breathtaking. The way the silver played with her eyes and how it brought out her prefect skin tone would make any girl jealous even Mimi.

"Okay Schuyler, I think we found you some dresses."

"Dresses?"

"Yes dresses, you are going to need one for the rehearsal, one for the dinner, one for the bonding and a couple spares just in case you change your mind."

"So we just need six dresses." Schuyler said as she was turning to walk back to the dressing room.

"No, we will take them all. A girl needs options when her mood changes."

Schuyler closed her eyes and took yet another deep breathe. She hurried back to the dressing room to change into her hoody and skinny jeans. Schuyler checked her cell phone to see what time it was. She was hoping it would still be earlier enough to go catch up with Oliver and Henry.

"I can't believe it is already 9:45"

Schuyler knew she wouldn't be able to meet up with them. Her curfew was ten and she knew Charles would be watching. Schuyler headed out of the dressing room to go to the Force's

"Wait Schuyler you can take the town car home with me."

"That is alright I will take the bus back to the house."

"Schuyler, you are a Force now. We don't take public transportation. I don't ever want to see or hear that you are on one of those disgusting things. You will either drive one of our cars or have one of our drivers take you where ever you need to go."

Schuyler was mad. She liked taking the bus. It was her safe haven; she could just sit on the bus and think without someone interrupting her. Plus, she liked watching the people and their interactions with one another. Schuyler was still going to take the bus, but right now she got in the car with Trinity.

Bliss was memorized with this red book; there was just something about it that held her attention. She felt very familiar with it; like she had it before. Bliss couldn't take the book back to the table and start looking through it. It might cause some concern or raise suspicion. She didn't know who could be in the library, walk by and see her with it. So Bliss put the book in her bag and turn to walk out. She still felt like she was being watched, but no one was around. She was starting to get paranoid. Bliss felt better about taking the book home and looking at it there.

Mimi got in the car and got her new Iphone. She dialed Charles' number, but it went to voicemail. Mimi knew where to find him, but first she needs a waxing and that was more important. Plus, she couldn't leave Charles a voicemail; she wanted to see his face when she told him what she saw.
