Angel had been feeling positive for the last few months. Since coming home from being on the run from -A, after Romeo helped her find out the identity of the bitch to keep her safe... she really had been feeling safer. More positive than she had since Alec had come to town and fucked her life upside down yet again. Angel had been traumatised by that man as a child and she was beyond angry now that he had ever been able to have power over her. He was nothing. He had always been a nothing and heâd died a nothing and Angel was glad he was gone - her only regret is that she hadnât done it herself. Maybe she was jealous of -A for that in some way. Theyâd done what she clearly hadnât been brave enough to do.
Angel had been getting her things ready for the past couple weeks. She had been making plans with Romeo to go back to Spain. Coming home had been nice, she liked that she didnât have to stay out there on the run, but... Angel didnât want this anymore. She didnât have to look over her shoulder now, she could just live... with Romeo. Things might work out or they might not but either way Angel knew she wanted to do this. Walking back to her parents house, Angel was in fairly high spirits. She sent a couple texts to her sisters saying she loved them and would call them when she got to Spain in the next couple days. She was feeling happy, which was rare, and she was feeling positive, which was even rarer. For the first time, Angel wasnât on the edge of anticipating some huge attack. Some plot or scheme or big bad thing. But maybe if she had stayed vigilant then what happened next, wouldnât have happened.
It was getting darker as she made her way home, not paying as much attention to her surroundings as she would have in the more recent past. She knew that -A was aware that if anything happened to her, Romeo would shoot her identity everywhere he needed to without blinking. Because of this, Angel wasnât anticipating an attack from anywhere else - and she should have. In the next few moments, she was knocked to the ground from behind, a nasty blow to the head. She could almost immediately feel blood but she was too stunned to even cry out. Angel twisted, trying to crawl away, but she was grabbed and pulled back. She turned onto her back, stared up at the red hooded figure staring down at her. âYou.... youâre not....â -A. This wasnât -A. She and Romeo knew who -A was now and this... was not her.
So what the hell was happening?
âIâm sorry, Angel. Youâre just collateral damage. Getting rid of you is the only way I can get the proof outed.â
The proof? The proof that Romeo was holding onto for safe keeping? Angel felt sick as she tried to keep up and get free at the same time but the other person was stronger than she was and all she could feel was pain. Then she saw the flash of silver and shook her head. No... no, no, no, it could not end like this. âNo...â
âItâs for the greater good....â
Then pain. Cold. Weakness. Blood pooling from the back of her head and the stab wound in her stomach onto the ground beneath her. Her eyes drifted closed. Angel Frazier... Elisa Dalton... after all this time, after coming out on top and beating her demons... was gone.
After a bit more catching up, Angel moved to grab her stuff. âI should get back.. I gotta go and pack some more and call Romeo. Iâll see you before I leave.â
Fallon bit her lip as she smiled, looking up at her sister. âIt was complicated, like really complicated.â She admitted. âBut sheâs ready to tell her family and come out so I wanted to tell mine.â
âWell, thatâs awesome. You better keep me updated when Iâm away!â
âThanks. She totally gets her good looks from, Imogen.â Eric smiled over at her, as he watched them.
"I dunno, you're not too bad to look at." Angel joked, giving a little laugh as she turned her attention back to the baby. "I thought I better stop by and see this cute little face before I leave town..." She looked up. "Obviously I means hers not yours." She teased.
âTrue and you canât leave me here with an angry Henley.â Fallon laughed, shaking her head. She was nervous about telling her sister, though she knew she shouldnât be. Taking a deep breath, she looked at her. âMy girlfriend just moved into my placeâŠâ
âNo one would survive.â She chuckled, sipping her drink as she waited for her sisterâs news. âWhat!â She put the cup down, smiling over at her. âYou have a girlfriend and you never told me?!â
âGood, I donât think I could handle getting ghosted again.â Fallon teased, laughing softly. âI get it. Itâd be hard not to call you Angel at this point.â She agreed. âI do have something to tell you as wellâŠâ
âIâm sure Henley would be furious too.â She chuckled, looking back at her sister. She was glad she was taking the news well. Angel knew sheâd be happier with him. âOh, yeah?â
Fallon nodded, reaching across the table. âI understand.â And she did. She knew what it was like for her sister to have to live with the threat of Alec for so long. âAre you going to change your name back?â
Angel smiled brightly. âAnd Iâm not gonna dip off the radar this time... Iâll call and Iâll text.â She promised, thinking about the question for a moment before she shook her head. âNo... I think Elisaâs gone now. If that makes sense.â
Fallon took a sip, lowering her cup to the table when she said she was leaving. She swallowed, trying not to ruin the moment when her sister was clearly so happy.  âOh.â She said finally, putting a smile on her face.  âWhen are you going to be leaving?â
Angel hadnât thought everyone would be over the moon about it but still, sheâd kind of made up her mind. âI mean... you know, now that Alec... now that Iâm able to.â Travel and live. And now she was safe from -A as far as she was concerned but she didnât say that part. âI donât know yet, I mean... Iâd like to go soon.â
Fallon carried her drink to the table, looking at Angel. âSpill. Whatâs got you so happy?â
Angel looked up at her and chuckled, knowing she probably wasnât hiding it, she was just enjoying feeling... free. âOkay... Iâve been making some plans and theyâve just got me excited but. It involves... me leaving again. To go back to France. So I can be with my boyfriend.â She bit her lip, but was still kind of smiling as she couldnât get rid of it.
Fallon couldnât remember the last time sheâd seen Angel in such a good mood and she smiled at her as they walked, opening the door to the Coffee Bean and following her inside.
âMy treat.â She said, smiling as she practically bounced up to the counter.
