"Seriously how long have I been trapped in this darkness?" Schuyler yelled out to no one.
Schuyler was losing her patience and thought someone would of came to rescue her. Did her life mean so little to everyone? If no one was going to come and rescue her then she would have to be her own knight in shining armor.
"Okay Schuyler let's think of a plan." She said out loud to herself.
"What is it about the darkness that creeps me out." She wondered.
"I need to think of a way out of here. Okay, let's see what do I remember last." Some how talking out loud allowed her to focus and made her feel calm. This darkness did give her the creeps but she did not know why.
"Okay, I remember going to the rehearsal and being there with Henry. Then seeing Bliss go to the restroom and her needing a glass of water. My run in with Jack. Ugg why did he always find me and corner me? Then I made it back to the restroom and there was Bliss and I think some one else, but who?"
"Come on Schuyler, think!" She yelled in frustration. It was like there was a black cover over that person. She knew there was someone else but she could not see that person.
Meanwhile back in Schuyler's room, Oliver and Henry's frustration and worry were growing.
"Henry it has been a week now." Olive said with trepidation. Henry had been on edge since Olive went behind his back to Jack and was keeping watch over Schuyler like a cobra about to strike.
"I KNOW OLIVER!" Henry yelled. He was losing patience with everyone and losing sleep. He was scared to sleep and miss something. After Oliver and Jack's meeting, he wouldn't allow anyone in the room by themselves.
Oliver and Henry had setup their research in Schuyler's room. Oliver would leave and go to Repository to check out books, and bring meals in. Dr. Pat would come in twice a day to check Schuyler's vitals and fluids. Schuyler wasn't feeding but Dr. Pat would place a tube down Schuyler's throat to push fluids. Dr. Pat said Schuyler wasn't in hibernation like her mother. She said Schuyler was still in shock and hadn't found her way back.
As each passing day went by, Henry was growing more and more restless and his feelings for her were growing. He couldn't lose Schuyler. The way she laughed sounded like heaven's bells and when she would place her hand on Henry's arm to get his attention melted his heart. His heart ached for her and his soul cried out for her. He needed her like the air that human's breath. Henry was on the verge of losing it when Oliver jumped.
"Henry, I think I may have found something." Oliver said.
"Take a look at this."
Henry carefully glanced no to a scrap of paper that Oliver found jammed in the back of a book.
"When the darkness surrounds the light and engulfs it. The light will become dimmed. Only when the light finds it soul will it shine like the sun and consume the darkness." Henry pinched the bridge of his nose between his thumb and index finger. He had to control his temper. He was over all these riddles and conundrums. His brain could not take anymore.
Slowly Henry said, "Oliver, why do you think this will help."
"Henry, do not you remember the prophecy of Gabrielle. She would give birth to two children. One born of the darkness and one born to light. We know that Bliss is the vessel for Lucifer. So, she has to be the darkness. That would been Schuyler is the light. Schuyler hasn't come into her power, whatever those may be."
Henry sat back slowly. This did make since but how do we help Schuyler gain her powers?
"We can't help Schuyler gain her powers if she doesn't wake up. First, we have to focus on waking Schuyler then gaining her powers." Henry said with authority. There is no saving grace if Schuyler doesn't wake.
