EPILOGUE

Party hats, bal oons, champagne; this was how I'd spend my evening. Oh, and a countdown--the whole reason we

were here: New Year's Eve. We'd missed Thanksgiving and Christmas, but there was no way I'd miss another

celebration. Andrew stayed at my side al evening as I mingled with the Guardians and the Fal en Angels. It was

easy to tel the two apart, as the Fal en had the silver patterns on their faces.

"Forgive me if I'm being rude," I said to Firen, "but why the silver markings?" I made a gesture around my own

face.

Firen, turning to fil her cup with punch, smiled. "Why the tattoos?" she asked me with a laugh.

"So it's a marker of . . .?"

"It's to show what side we chose during the war." She sipped the punch, and her nose scrunched up. "Gods, this is

awful!"

Joseph ran up to her. "Um, you might not want to drink anymore of that." He smiled charmingly at her. "It's been

spiked."

"Joseph!" I admonished.

He threw his hands up. "It was one of yours." He laughed. "None of us drink."

Just then I caught Sebastian's eyes, and he winked. I gave my attention back to Joseph. "I'm sorry. The Guardians

have al been wound a little too tight lately. I'l go make some more."

"Nah, I'l get it," Joseph offered. Before I could protest, he trotted off to the kitchen.

Andrew fil ed his own cup with punch and took a sip. His face mimicked Firen's from earlier. "That's potent."

Firen shrugged her shoulders, downed her drink, and fil ed her cup again. I gaped at her as she grinned and

turned away, melting into the crowd.

"This can't be good," I said and faced Andrew.

He took another sip of his drink, smiling at me. He grabbed the top of my party hat, wiggling it, and said, "Relax,

El a. They're adults."

"I know, but--"

"Relax," he repeated, stepping closer and pul ing me into him. My breath hitched. "They al need to unwind. Let

them."

"There are better ways to do that," I whispered with a shy smile.

He put his cup down and kissed me. He tasted like fruit punch and vodka.

"Two minutes until the New Year!" shouted one of the CIA agents over the crowd. There were about thirty of them,

mingling in with the crowd easily. I had yet to see Layla, but I heard she'd helped with the Avel a situation. It made

me pleased to hear we didn't scare her too much after the Zola rescue.

Through the mass of people, I saw Aiden turn the TV on so we could watch the celebrations going on throughout

Italy. He was cheery and enjoying himself, which made my heart squeeze for him. I had yet to tel anyone about

what Carmela said to me, and the other Elders had been trying to gather the Angels that were under the Ladies of

Light's spel so we could help them. If there even was the slightest chance Abelie was back on Earth, I would find

her and bring her back to Aiden. What I didn't understand was how she could be back.
