Andrew coughed and rolled to his side as she pulled him out of the water. He quickly reversed that motion and rolled flat onto his back again to catch his breath. He stared up at the sky, the trees above him. They seemed different somehow. He looked over at Angel, collapsed on the ground.

He rolled up onto his side and pushed off the ground. He glanced at his hand and immediately sat back down. He held both hands up in front of his face. They were blank. The marks were gone. He looked at the back and the front again to be sure. A smile broke out as he pushed up his sleeves to see his blank arms. He pulled the collar of his shirt out to look at his chest and pulled up a pant leg to his knee. He was completely free!

He laughed out loud. "It's gone! Angel! It's gone!"
