Chapter 4:

Jack stared at Schuyler intensely, his green eyes were like daggers stabbing into her wide blue ones. "J-Jack," she breathed. He noticed Schuyler tense up as she said his name. Well, well, well, seems I'm not the only one in pain, he thought. He smirked on the inside. Jack suppressed the thought, and let out an exhausted sigh, then sat on the nearby chair.

And now, looking directly at Schuyler, he realized just how much he loved her. Her skin looked just as pure and flawless, as it had in his dream. Jack didn't think he could ever brush off those feelings he had for Schuyler, despite the fact that she didn't love him anymore. "Jack?" she said again, breaking him out of his thoughts. Jack decided to get right to the point.

"Schuyler you are in grave danger, we need to get you out of here as soon as possible," he said standing up again. "Come with me." Jack outstretched his hand towards her. As soon as he said this, the look of astonishment and faint traces of pain left Schuyler's face, and were replaced with an expression of anger mixed with fear. Jack furrowed his brow. He was not liking the circumstances. Instead of taking his hand, she gave him the same answer that had caused all of his unbearable pain. "No," Schuyler said, her blue eyes looking like ice. "This is for your protection, do not make this hard for me." Jack held out his hand even farther. "Please, Schuyler."

But before he could take his next breath, Schuyler bolted right past him, making the lower part of his black cloak hover in the air. Shit! He cursed under his breath. Jack swung himself around and used the velox spell. Jack ran through the crowds of dancers, careful not to knock down anyone. As he chased after Schuyler, the enticing music had become even darker than before. It was filled with sinful lust, and some kind of dark energy Jack couldn't describe. With every step Schuyler took, Jack was practically on her heels.

The vampires, were like an invisible wind, dodging servers and guests. Schuyler wait! he sent. Get away from me! She sent back, screaming in his mind. Jack grunted and increased his speed. He was so close to Schuyler, that he could hear her pant as she ran. They raced through the halls of the hotel and eventually ended up outside. Although the chase was amusing, Jack had had enough of it. He dashed even further almost bumping into Schuyler, then sidestepped at the last second, and pivoted on his heel. Schuyler was running so fast she hadn't realized what he'd done, until she ran smack into Jack's chest with a thud.

Jack clutched her arms. He wanted so badly to bring her close to him and stroke her hair, to tell her that it would be alright. But he restrained himself from doing so. Jack let go of Schuyler's arms, he didn't want her to think he still had feelings for her. "Schuyler, we have to get you out of here - " "I'm not going with you," She interrupted him, "I'm not going back to New York." "What are you talking about?" Jack said raising an eyebrow. "If that's why you've been running, then you are completely wrong. Like I said before, you're in danger here. Can you not feel the silver bloods?" After hearing this, Schuyler shoulders slouched down.

"Then..why are they here?" She asked hesitantly. "They're here, for you." "But, why me? Im not that important." Schuyler held her arms close to her chest. "That's what you think," Jack said shoving his hands in his pockets. "Remember all those times the silver bloods had tried to attack you but failed?" he looked directly at Schuyler. "Yes," she replied shuddering at the thought. "There was a reason for that. Ever since the crisis in Rome, Sophia the watcher, prophesied that one day the unbreakable bond between Gabrielle and Michael, would break. And that she would reject Michael and bear a child with a mortal. And that child would be the death of the silver bloods. Sophia's visions have never been wrong." After Jack finished explaining, Schuyler just stared at him with her eyebrows raised. "Wait a minute..I'm their death?" she said with disbelief.

Jack could have sworn she was laughing on the inside, but he just brushed off the feeling. "Yes, yes you are. And since you are, Leviathan has tracked you down, to finish what the other silver bloods could not accomplish." Jack explained. "Leviathan was tracking me? Wait a minute how do you know all this?" Schuyler said looking confused. Jack sighed and looked at the ground. "I know this because my father and I have been tracking him as well, now c'mon we have to get going." he said, already walking.

"Wait! We have to get Oliver first." Schuyler said with worry consuming her voice. Jack paused as soon as she said his name. Damn it. There was nothing he hated more than hearing that red blood's name come out of Schuyler's mouth. But then again, he was her current..lover. He sighed again, and turned around to face her. As Jack began walking towards Schuyler, he noticed a man standing a good 15 feet from behind her.

Jack picked up his pace, once again he was not liking the circumstances. Using his vampire sight, Jack took a closer look at the strange man. He was the same man that ushered Schuyler into the suite. What was his name? Baron de Coubertin? The man stood there, as still as a statue, his eyes blazing a vicious shade of silver. Leviathan. Jack's eyes went as wide as it could go. "Schuyler run!" Jack barked. Schuyler followed Jack's gaze, and froze. Damn it! He thought. Jack dashed up to Schuyler, grabbed her hand and ran as fast as he could.
