Chapter 15

Jack was upset with himself, but he was more upset with Schuyler. How could she be dating Henry? They were supposed to be together, but then again he was getting ready to be bonded with Mimi. Jack couldn't stay at school. He didn't want to see Schuyler and Henry together because he was scared he might do something he would regret.

Jack got up, left the classroom, put his books in his locker and started walking towards the front doors when Mimi caught him.

"Where are you going, handsome?" Mimi sent him.

"I have to go pick out your bonding gift." Jack sent back.

Jack had to lie to Mimi, but what else was new. Their relationship had always been based on lies. Mimi got excited and sent back, "Something sparkly and expensive always works."

Mimi smiled at Jack and walk away in a happier mood knowing Jack was taking a personal day for her. Jack hurried through the front doors and ran to his car.

Jack made his way to Central Park to do some serious thinking. Jack found a nice shady spot next to the pond; he sat down and calmed his feelings. He closed his eyes and brought up the memory of seeing Gabrielle in the hospital. He was looking for a clue on how to get Schuyler back.

Jack searched and searched the memory, but he couldn't find anything. Jack pinched his nose between his fingers; he was getting frustrated. "There has to be a clue somewhere." Jack just happens to think about Henry and that there was something about Henry that was familiar. Jack decided to dig through his past lives to see if there were any clues about Henry.

Jack could sense that Henry had been around just as long as him, but he didn't know what side he had been on. The first memory that came to Jack was his period in Ancient Rome. Jack was standing in the Temple of Athena. He was in a circle with Mimi, Charles, Allegra, Lawrence and Henry. They were discussing their opposition against Caesar. Caesar was in turn Lucifer. He had corrupted another soul and gained power to rule over Rome.

Jack remembered that Henry had been a guard for Athena's Temple. Now that Jack had been thinking about it, all the times he could remember Henry he had always been with Gabrielle. Now Jack was curious as to why he is interested in Schuyler.

Back at school, Schuyler was feeling a little confused. She was starting to like Henry and she knew that it was suppose to be all business between them. Schuyler needed to talk to Oliver about all of this; she was getting mixed emotions. The bell rang to end class. Schuyler, Henry and Oliver all got up and were heading to their next class when Mimi stopped them.

"Hey, half-blood I need to talk to your boyfriend."

"Mimi, you don't have to be so rude."

"I need to talk to him, alone." Mimi said while glaring at Schuyler.

Schuyler pretended not to care as Henry and Mimi walked off together.

"Sky, it is alright. Henry knows how to handle Mimi." Oliver said trying to comfort her.

"I know Ollie, but I am starting to have feelings for him. What am I suppose to do, Ollie?" Schuyler asked with a hint of concern in her voice.

Oliver knew this was going to happen and to be honest he couldn't be happier. Well, he could if Schuyler was with him.

Mimi cornered Henry up against the wall.

"Ok, what is going on with you and the Half-Blood?" Mimi demanded.

Henry remained calm; he knew how to deal with Azreal.

"Mimi, Charles told me that Schuyler needed my protection when she wasn't in his house. I am just doing my job."

"It seems to me that you are doing more then just your job." Mimi said with a tone of jealousy.

"Mimi, you know how the system works. Being her boyfriend is just part of my cover. So that no one really knows why I am here." Henry said coolly.

"You better hope so."

Mimi walked away with a smirk on her face. She knew that Schuyler and Henry's relationship was a joke and that hers and Jack's was the real thing. The next time she saw Henry she would have to tell him to keep Schuyler away from Jack, but the truth was that Jack couldn't stay away from Schuyler.

Henry knew that Mimi would confront him; she had to always be in control. So Henry played her weakness to his advantage. As long as, she thought that Henry was protecting Schuyler and doing his job then she wouldn't get suspicious and snoop around to see what they were really doing.

Schuyler was waiting impatiently by her lock for Henry. She really wanted to know what Mimi wanted with him. She saw Henry come around the corner and she couldn't believe how truly beautiful he was. Schuyler could see his true angelic form; he had a soft glowing light around him with the purest of white wings. Schuyler knew Henry's history, but she didn't know his angel history.

"Hey Sky are you ready to head to class. We are going to be late." Henry said in a joking manner because they could use the velox.

"Yea, but what did Mimi want?"

"What does she always want? She just wanted to make sure that I am doing my job."

"Why does she care what you are doing?"

"Because it involves you; to her you are a threat and she wants to make sure that I have you under control."

"Under-control?" Schuyler was confused. What did Mimi think she would do skip town and ruin her bonding ceremony? Schuyler chuckled to herself, she could see Mimi's face when Charles tells her to cancel the ceremony because Schuyler skipped town.

"Yea, Mimi thinks you are up to something. Actually, she thinks that you are planning on ruining her ceremony. She wants to make sure that I keep you away from Jack. I told her that you don't know my real identity and that I tricked you into dating me. She is actually amused with that thought."

Schuyler didn't know if she should be offended or amused. She would have to ponder on that later because now she had to knock out a sculpture that count has her mid-term grade for her art class.

Oliver really didn't want to be sitting in art class; he wanted to be pouring over those Hymnals, but Henry told him that they had to go through their daily routines. Oliver knew Henry was right. They didn't want anyone to become suspicious about what they were looking for. So if they went through the daily routine with school and with Oliver working in the Repository then their cover would be secure.

"Hey Schuyler, are you ready for your big date tonight?" Oliver asked jokingly in front of Henry.

"Yea, Schuyler you have to dress up and all that. You need to take this date seriously." Henry added.

Schuyler's heart seemed to skip a beat. She was excited about tonight.

"You don't have to worry about me." Schuyler replied.

Jack was still sitting at the park, trying to figure out Gabrielle's message when Mimi sent him a text. "Meet me back at home!" Jack closed his phone and growled at himself. "Why do I have to have a bond mate?" Jack got up and started to head to his car when Bliss caught his attention. Jack stood still and watched her walk across the park. He realized that there was something off about Bliss. She looked like she was in a trance and that her eyes were black. Something told him to follow her and to bring Mimi. Jack sent Mimi an image of Bliss walking across the park. "Come Now!" Jack decided to follow Bliss while Mimi was on her way, but Jack left his mind open to Mimi.

Mimi had just got to the townhouse and was heading up to her room; when Jack sent her the image of Bliss. Mimi saw the image and knew that it wasn't good. She sent Jack a message to let him know she was on her way.

Mimi could see everything that Jack saw as if it was with her own eyes. She saw Bliss leave the park and walk to an old abandon warehouse. By this time Mimi had got up to Jack.

The abandon warehouse looked like the rest of the warehouses surrounding it, but Jack and Mimi could sense the darkness that came from within this one. Jack and Mimi realized that Lucifer was inside and that Bliss was in danger. Mimi knew that they couldn't walk into the warehouse in their human forms.

"Jack, they have guards at the door. We can't just walk in."

"Well, Mimi what do you have in mind? We have to hurry they have Bliss."

Mimi had a feeling that Bliss didn't go against her will, but Mimi knew that Bliss would never go to the dark side.

"Jack, we have to go in as our true forms. The guards won't know who we are, but they will sense our darkness."

Jack didn't like this at all, but he knew she was right. Ready or not here comes Death and Destruction Jack thought.
