Hey, first I would like to thank you for picking my story to read. This is one of my first fanfic's YAY. Next I would like to say that this takes places after masquerade, so if you have not read it then you might want to hold off on reading this. Though in this I do not revile much about the second book it might be best. I would also like to say (for those of you that have read all 3) that this does not follow the thirds book much. Other then that I hope you enjoy the first chapter and feel free to leave a response. I could use the constructive criticism.

She had had enough; this could not go any further. It was bad enough that she could not see her grandfather, the only –conscious- Van Alen she was close to. But Charles had also take Oliver from her as well, and not to mention her freedom. She could only go out with bliss and that was under the watchful eyes of Mimi or Jack. "To make sure you don't go off with that boy." Mr. Force had said.
It was unfair, sure Jack's father was now her legal garden –even though Lawrence was just as capable, maybe even more- but he had no right to destroy her life. She was happy with her old life, a life where she could come a go as she pleased.
He changed that too. Now Schuyler had to be back by 10:30 on weekends and 9:00 on week days. She supposed it could be worse; at least Mimi and Jack had that same rule. In fact that rule was the only thing Mimi and Schuyler had in common, they both hated it. Even Jack held the same feelings for it, though he accepted that it was for their own safety, what with the Silver Bloods back.
Living with the Forces was not fun and games; in fact there was none of it. Most of the time the three vampire teens where in training, getting ready for the possible war. And when that was the case Schuyler was doing chores or home work. It seemed to her that she had more house work then Mimi or Jack. She often thought that they should just rename her Cinderella and make her live in the attic.
The one thing Schuyler had looked forward to when she moved in with them was seeing more of jack. But he was ignoring her more than Mimi was. Though what she was doing was much worse, using the Velox to steal some one Schuyler's most precious prosecutions. As well as talking about her "behind her back" when she knew Schuyler could hear.
She now only had one -public- friend, a former Mimi clone, Bliss. At school Bliss would help her stand up to her former friend, and helped Schuyler deal with the forced separation with her best brined. Schuyler shuttered remembering that first day.
When she got off the bus with Jack and Mimi heads had turned. Rumors were already circulating so people where curious. She could not even walk down the hall without eyes following her. It seemed like only Bliss and Ollie really cared, but she had been trying to avoid Ollie all day. When Bliss asked why Schuyler explained that her uncle was angry that she had taken her Conduct as her human Familiar.
Bliss had under stood this and told Schuyler that she would help her through I all. And she did just that when Oliver sat at their usual table for lunch. At first no one said anything, Oliver had picked up that something was not right when he realized that his best friend –and love of his life- was avoiding him. Schuyler looked at Oliver, she wanted to cry or do anything to get her from saying the words she had to say.
"So, Bliss," She said about to start a random conversation.
But Mimi shot her and evil stair, "You better tell him." She hissed under her breath.
With a sigh she gave in looking at Bliss then at her best friend. "Ollie…" This was going to be hard. "As you know I was forced to move in with the Forces," She said and he snorted as the irony. "And with that came some new rules." She paused and looked at the table. "I can't see my grandfather." She staled. Oliver gasped and Bliss sighed.
"That's horrible." He said shaking his head. He knew it was going to be hard for her, especially since he got her not to long ago.
Schuyler was about to give but and let that be all but Mimi shot her another evil glare and Bliss elbowed her in the side. With a sigh she continued.
"I know when he told me that I was so mad… but then he told me that I have to…" She said looking up but avoiding his eye contact.
"You have to?" He repeated wait for her to finish.
"I can't see you anymore."
With that she got up and walked away throwing her uneaten lunch in the trash on the way out. Bliss gave Oliver an apologetic glance then hurried after Schuyler.
