Chapter 17

Schuyler stood gazing at her reflection at the mirror. She didn't recognize the person looking back at her. She had on one of the dresses Trinity bought her. It was a shade of midnight blue silk, crystal beading along the sweetheart trim. It had a slit up her mid thigh that made her blush just looking at it. She had her done up in a French twist and long diamond earring, that a magically appeared on her vanity this evening, that drew attention to her face. Schuyler couldn't believe how amazing she looked. She prayed that Henry liked it just as much as she did. She was starting to get butterflies in her stomach until she heard someone sucking in air from behind her.

There was Jack standing in her doorway staring at her with hungry love struck eyes.

"Sky, you look like a Greek Princess." Jack said as his eyes were looking her up and down.

"Thanks, Jack. Do you think Henry is going to love it?" Schuyler asked putting her best game face on.

Jack's eyes flashed with envy, but he could sense Mimi coming.

"I am sure he will. If he doesn't then he isn't worth your time."

"Thank you, Jack." Schuyler said as she turned back to the mirror to decide if she should wear and necklace or not.

Jack stood there and watched Schuyler. He couldn't believe that she was pretending that there was nothing was between them; that their love for each other was gone. Jack was trying to remember where they went wrong. Mimi slipped her hand into Jack's.

"What are you doing, my love?"

"Nothing, I was just doing a little thinking while I waited on you, my Darling."

Jack had moved beyond Schuyler's room to the catwalk over looking the grand foyer. Mimi had been listening in on Jack and Schuyler's conversation and was quite impressed with Schuyler. "That Half-Blood is finally coming to her senses." Mimi thought to herself.

Jack and Mimi watched Schuyler leave her room and gracefully walk down the stairs. Mimi couldn't believe how beautiful Schuyler looked, but Mimi knew she looked better. Mimi was starting to feel at ease with the whole Jack and Schuyler thing. Schuyler was uninterested in Jack and seemed involved with Henry. The Bonding Ceremony seemed to be moving smoothly along. Now if only she could get Jack to cooperate because right now he looked like a hurt puppy dog.

"Jack, are you ready?" Mimi was going to push Jack's feelings for Schuyler aside. He would be over Schuyler soon enough.

Jack held out his arm to escort Mimi to the limo waiting outside.

Henry knew that Schuyler didn't like limos. She thought they were too flashy. So he found one of the Van Allen's old cars from their collection and decided on a 1924 Rolls Royce Phantom. Henry decided to have Julius drive them to the opening of the restaurant. He knew Schuyler would be touched. Henry rang the doorbell to the townhouse and was greeted by one of the many staff members the Force's had on hand.

Henry was standing in the Foyer waiting on Schuyler; when he saw her walking down the stairs. She was breath taking; he could see a little of Gabrielle in her, but what caught him off guard was seeing her angelic state. "It is a shame she doesn't realize her true potential and her powers."He thought.

Schuyler saw Henry in the Foyer and he looked amazing. She couldn't help, but stare at him and smile. His brown hair was slicked back and he had on a Black English Morning coat. He looked like a breath of fresh air to her. She started to have butterflies in her stomach from thinking about how gorgeous he was. She became more in awe of Henry when she saw Julius was their driver for the evening. She ran into Julius' arms.

"How are you doing, Miss Schuyler?" Julius asked while laughing.

"Very well, Julius. How are you?"

"Very well, Miss Schuyler. We should be on our way." Julius said as he opened the door for Schuyler and Henry.

Meanwhile, Mimi and Jack were across town already at Julius' the new Italian restaurant. Mimi had been standing in front of the cameras for the past fifteen minutes while Jack waited on the sidelines. He kept looking at his watch and then at the entrance. "Schuyler should be here by now." Jack thought to himself. He was miserable. Him and Schuyler haven't said more then a handful of words to each other in the past weeks. She was spending all of her free time with Henry and Oliver. He missed her lips on his and how her hair would envelop him in its silky embrace. He had to get her back or at least confront her. If she didn't feel the same way then he would move on with Mimi.

Jack watched as Mimi would strike pose after pose so fluidly. She loved all the attention she was getting. The photographers were yelling for her to turn this way or that way and asking her who she was wearing. This is what she lived for.

Schuyler and Henry had pulled up to the red carpet. Schuyler realized that this was her first public appearance since the Stitched for Civilization ad with Bliss. She suddenly felt nervous.

"Henry, I think I am going to be sick."

"It will be alright, Love. Just take my hand and breath. I won't leave your side." Henry held out his hand and helped her out of the car.

Schuyler stepped out of the car so gracefully that the photographers swore she was floating on air. Everyone stopped and watched, the cameras stopped snapping photos, and people stopped talking and turned to look at Schuyler. A photographer tripped and set off his camera and then the craziness began.

"Schuyler, who are you wearing?"

"Schuyler, turn this way."

"Schuyler, who is your date?"

Schuyler was feeling a little lost, but she sucked it up and gave them a show. After all she has been living with Mimi. Schuyler struck pose after pose and was doing it better then Mimi. She was actually having fun.

"I am wearing Vera Wang and this is my boyfriend, Henry Weston." Schuyler said proudly.

Henry stood next to Schuyler for a couple more shots then gave her a quick kiss and headed for the door.

Jack saw the kiss and about lost his mind.

"You shouldn't mix business with pleasure." Jack said with spite.

"You should talk, Abaddon. One woman is not good enough for you." Henry decided he wasn't going to hold back when it came to Jack. He needed to know his place when it came to Schuyler.

"What is that suppose to mean? You know I belong with Azreal."

"Then why are you after Schuyler? It was fine to chase after Gabrielle because nothing was going to happen. Schuyler is different. She is a half-blood and not bonded to anyone. So you can alter the being of our fate just to see if the grass is greener on the other side."

"I can't help the way I feel about her and she feels the same way towards me."

"Oh really, Have spent anytime with her since the break-up at the apartment."

Jack's eyes flashed with hurt. How did Henry know about that? Did Schuyler really tell him about their past?

Before anything else could be said between Henry and Jack the photographers started cheering. Jack and Henry saw Schuyler and Mimi posing for pictures together. Neither one of the boys knew what to do. Before, they could react Schuyler and Mimi walked off the red carpet and met up with them.

Schuyler looped her arm in Henry's and walked off without even acknowledging Jack.

"How can she act like I don't exist after all we went through?"Jack thought to himself.

"Because she knows what is good for her or maybe she was just playing with you."Mimi yelled in his head.

"Now stop thinking about her and enjoy the evening with me." Mimi said in a demanding voice in his head.

Jack wasn't going to enjoy anything until he confronted Schuyler.

The one thing that sat Julius apart from the rest of the famous restaurants, in New York, was the drinks. While the Red Bloods thought the Blue Bloods were drinking specialty alcohol drinks, they were in fact drinking blood. The owner of Julius was well-known for his business inventions and had created a chemical that turns blood different shades of color. So it could be concealed in a cup and the Red Bloods would think nothing of it. One could order a dirty martini amazing and would get an A+ blood drink. It was just another way to disguise one's true self in the public eye.

Schuyler and Henry had found their table; it was situated so that everyone could see them, but still secluded for them. Schuyler was wishing Oliver could have come, but he was still too busy doing their research. She felt bad that she hadn't been able to help lately, but she was determining to help tomorrow.

Schuyler excused her self from the table to go to the ladies room. She had seen Bliss heading towards the ladies room and she wanted to check on her. Se had seen much of Bliss and just wanted to see how life was going for her.

Bliss had gone to the restroom because her head was splitting. Lucifer was wanting out and Bliss was trying to keep him in check. The struggle was starting to take its toll on Bliss; she was now vomiting uncontrollably when Schuyler walked in.

"Bliss, are you ok?"

"Yes, Sky I am fine it is just my nerves. You should go. I don't want you to see me like this." Bliss said. She really wanted Schuyler to leave because she didn't know how much longer she could hold Lucifer off.

"I am not going to leave you until you are feeling alright."

"Of course, she is going to stay."Bliss thought.

"Sky, will you go get me some water and make sure it is not tap."Bliss said making sure Schuyler would be gone for awhile. She sensed Lucifer pushing through and she needed Schuyler gone.

Schuyler left the bathroom and headed towards the kitchen when Jack stopped her. "Great this is not what I need right now." Schuyler said under her breath.

"Where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Bliss isn't feeling well so I am getting her some water."

"Bliss is here; where is she? I would like to say hi." Jack said looking around Schuyler. No one had informed him that she was going to be here.

"She is in the bathroom. She is feeling sick."

Jack sent Mimi messages letting her know Bliss was here and in the bathroom. Jack knew this wasn't the time to have his little talk with Schuyler, but he needed to keep her away from Bliss.

"Schuyler, I need to talk to you about something important."

"You can talk to me later. I am kind of busy right now." Schuyler said as she pushed past Jack to go into the kitchen.

"No I need to talk to you now before it is too late."

"Jack, what is so important that you can't wait until later tonight?" Schuyler said barely paying attention. Jack couldn't have picked a worse time to talk to her.

"It is about Henry. I don't like him and you dating."

Schuyler froze did Jack really just say he didn't like her dating Henry. Who does he think he is telling her who she could date?

"What is wrong with Henry, Jack, besides the fact he is not you?"Schuyler felt like her blood was boiling because she was so mad.

"He is not good enough for you. He doesn't treat you the way you deserve to be treated, like I would."

Schuyler was becoming furious. She grabbed the water and turned to Jack.

"You made your bed a thousand years ago and now you should lay in it. You belong to Mimi and you think you can have me too. I am not some girl you can have on the side. Plus, Henry makes me happier then you ever did."

Schuyler knew this was a lie as she stormed out of the kitchen. She wasn't going to let Jack make a fool out of her by smooth talking to her. He was going to actually have to prove him self to her.

Schuyler made it to the bathroom and saw Mimi fighting a man in a white suit.

"How did he get in here?"Schuyler thought. Before she could say or do anything Lucifer had grabbed a hold of her.

"Don't do anything Azreal. I have her now."Lucifer said and then everything went black.
