Hey guys,
I know I said I was back in my writing groove a few months ago, and a new chapter hasn't materialised until now. I am working on the next chapter as we speak. Sorry about that, with work and a busy few weeks of the summer holidays, I haven't had time or quite the motivation to continue writing. Anyway, I did promise to finish this story and finish it I will...even if it does take me more than 6 years. Cannot believe this story is over 6 years old, thank you to those who have stuck by my story, sorry that it has taken so long to complete it.
Anyway here is the next chapter, the following chapter will be in Teddy's, Deming and Jack's POV. I hope to gain some reviews, 5 for this chapter would be just grand.
Thanks for reading,
Livvie x
(Chapter 94)
(Schuyler's POV)
I stared at Madison/ Addie whatever her name is. Just stared at her. In complete shock. Did I just witness all that? Did I fall into a deep sleep that I was able to move my spirit to a place were Maddie & I were both in our subconscious? It was information overload. Frankie Duvall, my best friend's fiancée, I hated her the moment I met her. Which is so unlike me, so out of character. I knew something was off with her. She was too sugar coated. Too sweet, too innocent, her backstory was just too tragic. But I had never suspected her for a Nephilim. I knew she wasn't right for Ollie, that she wasn't as innocent as she likes to portray, but she was my actual enemy by blood! She had wormed her way into Ollie's life to get to me, to get her revenge on me. She has spent the last few years wrapping Ollie round her twisted little finger, so she could gain his trust and then eventually get to me. To do this, she got to Jack, she took my love away from me and now she has the one thing I love the most. My beautiful Isla-Rose. I will not let her get away with this. I will not, she has already torn my family apart, now it is my duty, to be the hero and to save my girl.
Grabbing my things, I muttered a quick thanks to the still very much comatose Addie Humphrey/Maddie Keys, oh whatever her name is. I swung the door open with such might; I scared the living daylights out of the lady who was on the other side. It was Melissa Humphrey, Maddie's older sister. She looked tired, drained, and filled with pain and worry. For the second time her baby sister was in a coma. This time though it was no accident. That Frankie is a crazy bitch, trying to kill Maddie to silence her. Well she almost succeeded. Who knew that I we could communicate in our sleep.
"Schuyler! Is everything ok?"
"Sorry Melissa, I have to go."
"Go? Why? Please you have to help me…Maddie she's in danger and whoever ran over her finds out she is still alive she could come back!"
"I am, I am going to hunt that person down, no one hurts my family."
"Family? Schuyler? What has Frankie done to your family?"
"I think she has my daughter."
I didn't think, I know she has. Ollie would be defenseless; he wouldn't be able to save them. It is down to me. God I hope Ollie is ok, I get this horrid feeling that he got caught up in all of this because of me. She wanted me dead, so she used the people I loved to get to me. I am going to kill her.
"Frankie has Isla?"
"Yes, I must go. I promise you I will find Frankie and have faith your sister will wake."
With that I was gone, using my vampire speed I raced to the scene of the crime, which was right outside Ollie apartment. This is bad. Frankie must have got desperate; she tried to kill Maddie outside Ollie's home. This means she knew she had a small window, with Paul Rayburn and Verity James dead, all her New York contacts were dead…unless she has more? I can't, no I don't have time to worry about that. I have to find Frankie and kill her. Police were still everywhere, I ran into the building before they could stop me. I raced to Ollie's apartment and opened the front door with ease. The moment I stepped in and shut the door I felt darkness, a deep darkness. She was here, and she showed her true self. I can feel it. Following the darkness, it led me to Jazz's room. Oh god. Not Jazz too, not that innocent (well kind of innocent) little girl. My daughter's best friend and conduit, no she couldn't be dead…no. Frankie wouldn't…would she? Of course she would…she hates that little girl. Holding my breath, I opened the door of Jazz's room and the darkness grew stronger, someone used dark magic in here. I can feel it. The whole place was a mess. Like someone had tried to find something, to steal something. Picking up a snow globe, I was suddenly transported to a memory.
I saw Frankie, yelling, I saw her threatening my daughter, taking her by her hair. I saw Jazz crying, being a true conduit and defend her best friend. Then in the memory I saw the showdown between Ollie and Frankie, when he finally learnt the truth about his psycho fiancée. All you could see was a face full of hate, he didn't love her anymore. Oh Ollie, I should have been able to stop you from falling in love with her. Now she has not only my daughter but also my best friend and his child. Coming out of the memory, I knew where she had taken them, where she is probably waiting for me, this is probably is a trap. Of course it is, but I must save them. I do not have time to run this through with the Regent, I can't, lives are at stake. I have to do this alone. Avery will be mad, but I much rather face the wrath of Avery Smith rather than let my family die. Dropping the snow globe on the bed I stepped into the glom, it was a dusty dark and horrid room. Scanning the room I found Ollie lying there seemingly lifeless with slash marks all over his body. My blood was boiling; suddenly I heard movement turning around I saw her, There Frankie was, with her evil silver blood eyes. The eyes of the devil. She had Isla hanging from her beautiful long locks. My daughter was sobbing.
"Hello Schuyler, nice of you to finally turn up."
(Frankie's POV)
I have never been a patient person, hence why I hate that brat, but waiting on Schuyler Force felt like waiting hours for a very delayed train. She was taking her sweet time. I have spent years, centuries even waiting for my revenge, waiting to get my revenge on that stupid Gabrielle, and now I will kill her daughter and granddaughter. Probably also take the stupid Hazard-Perry's lives too. Not that anyone will save them. If I know Schuyler well she will come alone. She is hasty, she won't have a plan, she won't even tell the Regent, and because she believes if she doesn't come as soon as possible someone will die. I know her; she won't ask Jack for help, because she thinks she can do this on her own. Plus I've severed that tie with Mr Force. I am an amazing actress and quite and manipulative person. I have strung Oliver along all these years, as well as fooling the rest of the Blue Blood community. Oh the poor hopeless ballerina, who lost her family in a tragic fire. Yeah as if, I've done better than my peers…Paul Rayburn has been in their crowd much longer than I and in the end he died, because he gave in to love. Love is weakness. He has proven that too me by dying and leaving me with his unborn child. I will get my revenge for his death. I will capture Deming, I will kill her sister and that stupid best friend of hers. That way he will never be able to tell her how much he loves her. She's a bloody idiot not to see a good man that was right in front of her. Instead she had to steal and fall in love with Paul. My Paul, and that witch then killed him! SO much for true love, I was Paul's true love and she wickedly took away my happiness and the father of my baby. I will kill her, but first things first. I need to deal with them. The Countess will be so please, so impressed that I did her bidding. That I killed the prophecy child. Then she won't have to send her worthless son to New York. Blaine, what a joke of a brother he is. I swear he isn't even dark, he shines too bright to hold darkness, even if we share the same father.
I had Isla tied to a pole, by her hair, both her legs and hands were also bound. Uncle Ollie was tied up near her, while the unconscious Jazz was in the other room. Ollie had kept trying to protect Isla from me. Trying to stop me from slapping her, so to teach him a lesson, I got out my whip and slashed him. He was bleeding and bruised but he continued to try to protect her. That's the problem with mortals; their conscious always gets to them. They show feeling, love, and hope. It is folly; no one stands a chance to show emotions like that once my father returns. They will only know fear and anger.
Finally there she was, Schuyler Force. I had waited a long time for this revenge and it will be sweet. I started to walk towards her, holding her brat by her long hair. She turned to face us, first she looked at me in shock then it quickly turned to anger.
"Hello Schuyler, nice of you to finally turn up."
"You let my family go."
"Oh I really don't think so. I have waited for this, waited for so long."
"I knew you were too good to be true. I knew that there was something wicked about you. I just knew."
Schuyler never liked me. She never warmed to me, the moment we meet I knew it would be hard to make friends with her. If we became friends maybe I would have killed her by now, but nope she had to go and hate me and make my life harder.
"Well aren't you smart."
"It's not smart, it's intuitive. Jazz saw straight past you, she knew from the moment she met you, that you were pure evil. Oh god! Where is Jazz? What have you done with her?"
"Don't worry your pretty head, she's just unconscious in another room. You can watch her die later but first I am going to kill your daughter and conduit. Would that be a fun story to share and thanksgiving? Oh wait, you won't live to tell the story."
"You wanna bet on that?"
She pulled out her sword and pointed it at me. I just cackled like the Wicked Witch of the East.
"Ah, I wouldn't make a move Force, I have your daughter…don't want to miss do you? Could you image Jack? Oh he couldn't forgive you no, not if he finds out you killed his child. Now drop it."
She hesitated but dropped her sword. She looked completely hopeless. She didn't have the faith in her anymore but I knew she would do what it took to save her daughter. Dropping the brat, she let out an all mighty squeal and to shut her up I kicked her hard. So hard, she started to cry, well not cry more like howl.
"Shut it, you stupid brat."
"NO, you leave my daughter alone, please! It's me you want, please let Isla, Oliver and Jazz go! Please, I beg of you."
She begs of me, oh how Mrs Force has stooped low, she is begging me, she is making this too easy for me. I want a challenge. I expected a challenge, a confrontation from the famous prophecy. But she is weak, weak like the blood that runs through her veins. She isn't like us, being half doesn't get you anywhere. Truth to be told I am a half blood, but I am half silver. Silvers are strong than blues, not just physically but also mentally too. She's a Van Alen for Christ sakes. She will fight, I will make her. Picking up her child I tossed her to the other side of the room, Schuyler stared at me in utter horror, she just about to ran towards at her daughter but I boomed stopped and she frozen on the stop. Picking up her sword I tossed it to the side. Grabbing two pipes I threw one at her feet.
"Pick it up."
"What?"
"Pick up the pipe, I want to fight you, I want you to challenge yourself. Are you so willing to give up already? Are you seriously going to let me kill your daughter and your best friend? Grow a spine Schuyler and be who you were born to be."
(Schuyler's POV)
Be who I was born to be? I don't even know who that is. I have had this label of a prophecy put on me well before my birth, I don't even know where to begin. I am not the fighter they think I am, that I thought I was. Every time I always wanted every to see me for a blue blood and not just as a weak Halfling, I wanted them to see that I had just as much potential as any of them. But no, they looked me over because I was half human. Now here I am, losing all will, losing all hope to save the ones I love.
