Thanks for the reviews for the last two chapters! For those of you wondering about the Jack/Sky relationship, I don't want to give too much away but I personally like them together BUT I also like having drama along with it. I don't know if that makes any sense or really gives anything away. :S This is a short chapter, just sort of a filler. The others will be posted soon. I have the plot all mapped out and so far there are about 30 chapters, that could change though.
Bliss looked at her reflection in the bathroom mirror. She was now in a hotel somewhere in Manhattan. She shut her eyes tight in hopes of erasing what she saw. When she opened them again, her reflection still remained the same.
Her wild red hair was falling out of the fancy up-do it had been in last night, leaving it sticking up everywhere. Her dress was torn and splattered with red blood. She was sure there was some blue blood on there but it wasn't visible as blue blood disappeared once exposed to air. The strap of her dress was hanging off her shoulder which was accented with bruises and scrapes. She shut her eyes tightly again. She opened them again and leaned closer to the mirror. She looked at her eyes. There was not mistaking the silver pupils that were now present.
After she had been attacked at the museum and thrown into a room of deadly silver bloods, she was told of their plan and told of her part in it all. She was to be an undercover spy of some sort; a double agent. Since the committee would think she was dead, no one would go looking for her. She could work behind the scenes, giving the Silver Bloods tips as to where everyone would be. Then when the time was right, she would be given special contacts to cover her silver pupils and she would attempt to lure Schuyler into the hands of the Silver Bloods. It was to be her destiny to destroy Schuyler Van Alen.
The attack at the museum had mainly been a scare. They merely wanted to capture Bliss. There had been no intention of killing Schuyler that night. They had only wanted the daughter of the devil.
The Silver Bloods told her she had no choice. If she resisted there would be severe consequences. Ever since she had been bitten she had started to feel different. She felt evil and she was starting to like it. As much as her mind screamed at her that this was wrong, the evilness just silenced it making it as though she had never been a good person at all. The nightmares were beginning to make sense.
There was a knock on the bathroom door.
"We are about to have a meeting. Hurry up in there." A gruff voice said.
Bliss took a deep breath and smiled. She walked over to the door and opened it revealing a young blonde boy with blue eyes and silver pupils.
"Things have changed. There's a new part in the plan." He said hurriedly.
Bliss nodded and followed him down the hall.
"What do you mean I can't see her?" Oliver questioned at the door of the Force Townhouse. "I just want to see if she is okay."
"She is perfectly fine. I'll tell her you stopped by," Larsen, the Force's new bodyguard said. "I've been given orders to not let anyone else in."
"But you don't understand!" Olive was getting frustrated. "Are you a blue blood?" He said in a hushed tone.
"A what?"
"Never mind. Can you just go get Charles?"
"Go get Charles for what?" Charles Force said appearing in the doorway.
"This gentleman wants to visit Sally," Larsen said pointing to Oliver.
"Schuyler." Charles and Oliver said at the same time.
"Yes, right. He wanted to visit her but I told him that I am under strict orders to now let anyone inside."
"He can come in," Charles said with a sigh.
Oliver pushed past Larsen and Larsen scowled.
"Schuyler isn't here though," Charles said leading Oliver down the hallway and into his office. "I let you in because I need to discuss some things with you."
"Where is she?"
"Out with Jack," Charles said settling in his desk.
"Out with Jack?" Oliver said shocked. "How does Mimi feel about that?"
"She knows that Jack is protecting Schuyler from harm and she is alright with it."
"Protecting her? From what?"
"The Silver Bloods that are plotting to kill her," Charles explained the story about Schuyler's family ruling Senovia and how she was in line for the throne.
"So she's a princess?" Oliver asked curiously.
"You could say that. There is no Queen at the moment and in order for Schuyler to become Queen she would need to be an adult and wed."
"Does she know all this?"
"No. The less she knows the better. So far she just thinks everyone is staying together for safety in numbers."
"Are you going to tell her?"
"When the time is right, yes."
Oliver exhaled loudly. "Where do I fit in all this?"
"You don't as of right now."
Oliver crossed his arms."Why not? I'm her conduit."
"We don't need you right now," Charles said as he began sifting through the papers on his desk. "You wouldn't be able to stand a fighting chance against a vampire."
"So I can't see her at all?"
"You'll see her at Graduation tomorrow."
"What about after that?"
"We'll see."
Oliver sat there stunned. He wasn't even allowed to see his best friend anymore! This whole vampire world was really starting to tear at his friendship with Schuyler. He would definitely be telling her everything. He would tell her everything he just learned. She would most likely be angry no one told her and leave the townhouse. Good plan.
"You may leave now," Charles said. "Also, don't even think about telling her anything about Senovia and this conversation we just had or else you will be placed in lockdown."
Oliver stood up and stalked out of the office, slamming the heavy door shut behind him. Charles pressed a button on his intercom system.
"Larsen. Follow the boy. He is being placed on lockdown."
There was blood, so much blood. It was all over the floor and all over Schuyler. The heart monitor behind her slowly beeped, and then came to a stop. A long continuous beeeeeeeep echoed through the room.
Schuyler was down on her knees, cradling the deceased's head in her hands. If only she had gotten here a split second earlier. She could have saved her life. She had run as fast as she could, she thought she'd made it in time. But no. She was too late.
A sob escaped her. Why was nobody coming? She'd screamed just before Schuyler had arrived. Schuyler heard her from the elevator. Schuyler brushed the hair out of the corpse's eyes. Her tears were falling steadily now. Her mother lay there dead in her arms and there was nothing Schuyler could do. She was really alone now.
Schuyler's eyes flashed open. She sat straight up in her bed. Her alarm clock read 3:00 am. Her breathing slowed down when she realized where she was. Running her hands through her hair, she flopped back onto her pillows. Her dreams kept getting worse and worse. It was always the same dream too.
The first time she had, had this dream, she just saw the blood. The next time she saw the body but not the face. This time the dream revealed that the body she was holding was her mother. She exhaled and tried to go back to sleep. The nerves were probably causing these dreams since graduation was the next day. Schuyler groaned when she thought of it.
Reviews would be lovely. =)
