Chapter 3:

Jack was walking absent mindlessly, he looked up at the cloudy sky. It was snowing. Then looked back down to his feet. "Snow," he mumbled. Jack continued walking letting his feet take control for once. He looked around, and there was nothing in his surroundings. No buildings, houses, restaurants, and not even any trees. Jack was standing there, all alone and strangely cold, staring into the abyss as the snow flakes rested on his eyelashes. Then he heard a laugh, a cheerful and familiar laugh. He knew who it belonged to.

Jack started walking faster and then eventually broke into a run. He heard the same rhythm of the laughter play again and he followed it. Jack ran faster and faster through the snow until he came upon a girl who was dressed in an all white gown. When she turned meet Jack's eyes, she looked as pure and natural as the snow. Her big sapphire eyes made her face features look innocent and fragile while her long rich, dark, hair balanced out the rest of her. She raised her hand out toward him. "Her hand," Jack thought, "it looks so frail and delicate," "Jack.." the girl breathed.

The snow flakes were falling down gently around her, as if they were embracing her. God, she looked so beautiful, so divine, all Jack wanted to do was embrace her and love her forever. "Jack," she said her hand still raised. She stretched out her hand as far as it could go. "Come with me, come and follow me Jack," as she said this a puff of smoke escaped her mouth due to the cold. "Schuyler.." Jack said gently.

He took a step towards her and stretched out his hand. "Come closer, my love," she said, as the snow fell, and piled up slowly, her eyes began to glow to a light sapphire blue, making her look like even more of a goddess. But when jack took another step, he found that he couldn't move. He looked back at his feet, and tried to move them but failed. Jack tried as hard as he could to move them but they just wouldn't move. It was like they were cemented in the snow. He looked back at Schuyler, "I can not reach you," he tried to say, but the words would not come. He could not speak.

And just as suddenly, he felt as if he were sinking into the snow. Jack looked at the snow, and saw that he was sinking! He snapped his head back up to face Schuyler, and tried so desperately hard to get to her. But he began to sink even faster, with the snow reaching up to the base of his jaw. Jack looked at Schuyler once again, she still had her hand outstretched towards him. "SCHUYLER!!" Jack wanted to scream, but he could not speak, he could only watch the beautiful girl who stood before him chanting his name as the snow finally caught up with him. "SCHUYLER!!!" he screamed one last time. "Jack," she said, "Jack, Jack...wake up."

Jack woke up to a light shake on the shoulder. He could hear his Father's voice in the distance saying, "Jack, you have to wake up. We're about to land." Charles Force sounded so far even though he was seated right next to Jack. Jack shook his head rigorously and rubbed his eyes.

Just a dream, he thought. He had been having the same dream ever since he had decided to become a venator. "Are you alright?" asked Charles. "Yes I'm...fine" Jack said, his voice raspy from the dream. Or was it a dream? It seemed more like a nightmare to him.

"Ladies and gentlemen we will be arriving in Paris in approximately 5 minutes. Please fasten your seatbelts, Mesdames et Messieurs, nous serons arrivés à Paris en environ 5 minutes. S'il vous plaît attachez vos ceintures," announced the pilot.

After they received their suitcases,they called a cab and checked in to a nearby motel. Charles plopped down on the chair as soon as they entered their assigned room. It had been two years since they had decided to track Leviathan's whereabouts and they had finally caught up to the bastard. Charles whistled a sigh of exhaustion, " That damned Leviathan has led us to every corner in the world, but we finally caught up to him," he grinned. "When do we retrieve her?" said Jack who was preoccupied staring out the window with his arms crossed.

In the past two years, he had grown impossibly taller making naturally tall people look like one of the seven dwarves from Snow White. His platinum blonde hair was cut short in military style, making his physical attributes look even sharper than any male model's could ever be. The man was truly a piece of work to look at.

"At night, that's when the silver bloods like to strike their victims," Charles explained, taking off his tie, "If my presumptions are correct, Schuyler will be at the annual ball being held at the Hôtel De Crillon. For now we rest." Charles got up from his seat, and walked over to the bathroom. "I'm gonna go freshen up, Jack why don't you go take a walk and enjoy the sights of Paris? You've been so caught up in this investigation, you have not had time for yourself." he said with a worried look. "Father I'm fine," Jack said giving him a convincing smile. "You don't need to worry." "Fine, do whatever you wish," Charles walked into the bathroom, and shut the door behind him.

~*~*~

They arrived at Hôtel De Crillon, at exactly 11:30 PM, where the ball was being held. The hotel looked like an historical monument, being surrounded by street lights. There was a crowd of wealthy socialites by the ancient doors. From what Jack could see, there were French movie stars, billionaires, and other rich folk. Some annual ball this was going to be.

As the doors opened, seducing music trickled from the inside of the Hotel. It was like an invisible mist of lust coiling around Jack, almost as if it were to strangle him at any moment. Solvo Mihi! Release me. "I can feel them, the silver bloods." said Jack. " As do I, they arrived here much quicker than I thought. Jack go get Schuyler and go back to the motel. I will go and take care of Leviathan myself." Jack faced Charles, and opened his mouth to protest when Charles cut him off, "There is no need to worry Abbadon, I will be alright," Jack face expressions relaxed and nodded, "Understood," When he saw Charles disappear in to the crowd, he closed his eyes and began to search for Schuyler's presence.

There, he felt it. A warm, sensation of love, fear, and something else that Jack couldn't describe that was just her. He walked fiercely towards his destination, but stopped dead in his tracks at what he saw before him. The woman that he was so madly in love with, was in the arms of another man. No, wait, it was the red-blood she had left him for. Jack felt immense anger and jealousy slowly rise upfrom deep within him, it took almost every ounce of his strength to not walk up to the mortal, and wipe him off the face of the Earth.

When they broke apart, Jack felt the intense feeling melt down as he watched Schuyler walkoff with another man. Using his vampire abilities, he followed after them silently through the crowd. Jack followed them through the grand halls of the lobby, to the Les Ambassadeurs dining hall where several servers were offering champagne to the guests, and then they came to a sudden stop. Jack fled to a corner, before he could be seen. Schuyler had followed the man into the elevator. Damn it, Jack thought.

When the elevator doors closed, he walked up to it to see which floor they would stop on. The elevator stopped with a sound of a ding, and landed on the number 10. As soon as Jack saw this he found the nearest staircase, and fled up the stairs, a blur of black, up to the 10th floor. He got their just in time to see, Schuyler being led into a suite. Just what the hell is going on? He thought. Before the door could be slammed shut, Jack ran in there and kept himself hidden in the room.

It turned out to be a luxurious suite that was brightly lit and decorated with vintage black vines. The ivory-green curtains were drawn, blocking out all street lights from the outside. "S'il vous plaît patienter voici madame," Please wait here madame. The man walked out of the room, and locked the door behind him. Schuyler shifted her feet a little bit, feeling uneasy of being alone in the room. Jack managed to gaze at her, without her noticing. Although it had been 2 years, she still looked so delicate and fragile.

Her once long black hair, had been cut, so that it crept up to her neck. And the dress Schuyler wore hugged all her curves, making her look sleek and sexy. After all this time of being apart, Schuyler still looked beautiful to Jack. Aagh, what am I doing?! Jack thought shaking his head violently. He decided he would have to shake off those feelings he had for her, since she was in love with that damned red blood, and try to act like he wasn't in love with her. Jack stood up fearlessly and walked up to her.

"Baron de Coubertin?" Schuyler asked. "Try again," Jack replied sternly.
