     Schuyler splashed a little more cold water on her face, turning off the faucet and examining herself in the mirror.  There was still a little puffiness around her eyes and the rest of her face was horribly blotchy and red. She blew her nose just as her iPhone, which she'd left on the bed, began to ring. It was a text message from Oliver.
     "Meet me @ the Mercer in an hour.  We need to talk."
Schuyler cursed softly.  Ollie couldn't see her like this.  Crying over Jack was unacceptable.  It had been two weeks since she ended that relationship, and her seeing that old book Jack gave her wasn't going to change anything.  She loved Oliver now.  Schuyler sighed and thought, Maybe if say it enough times it'll be true.  As she cleaned herself up to go out, Schuler thought back on the last few days.
     Things had only gotten worse since Corcovado.  Charles had reaccepted the position of Regis, but the other Blue Bloods were in disarray.  The only survivor of the Almeida fire, discounting Mimi, was Forsyth Llewellyn.  Blue Bloods from all over the world were gathering.  The European coven, the Asian coven, and the coven in Rio were all collaborating with the New York coven as they prepared to wage war against the Silver Bloods.  It sounded simple and organized, though it was anything but.  Almost nothing was left of the New York coven, and the Rio coven had also suffered several losses.  All Blue Bloods everywhere, many nearing the ends of their cycles, were being called in.  Enmortals were also joining the fight.  The Blue Blood world was collapsing from chaos and disarray, and fear was the greatest tormenter.  Not to mention the problems at home.
     With Charles reinstated as Regis he was in a much better mood, but no one could deny the depression that seemed to hang in the air.  Bliss had been acting strange lately, but Schuyler supposed it was only natural.  She had lost her stepmother, sister, and boyfriend all on the same day.  Schuyler felt bad for Bliss in a disconnected sort of way, but she had plenty of problems of her own to deal with.  She still missed her grandfather's guidance, and without him she hardly knew what to do.  Lawrence had left her everything, including the house, so Schuyler was still living there with Hattie and Julius.  The Forces had finally agreed to let her move out, of which Schuyler was glad.  Being too close to Jack only made the pain fresh, like ripping off a band-aid to reveal the raw flesh beneath—and Mimi's smug attitude wasn't helping.  Mimi had Jack all to herself now… stop.  Schuyler told herself.  Thinking about Jack won't make it any easier to face Ollie.  She sighed as she left the bathroom, grabbed her phone, and went outside to hail a taxi.
     When Schuyler arrived at the Mercer, the Hazard-Perry chauffer was waiting in the lobby.  He handed her a key and said quietly, "Second floor, room 2C."  Schuyler took the key, headed up in the elevator, and found the room.  She carefully unlocked the door and pushed it open, only to realize that the inside was pitch black.
     "Ollie? Oliver?" she called, groping along the wall for the light switch. "You in here?"  Finally she found the switch and flipped it.  A lamp in the corner blazed to life, silhouetting two people on the bed.  As Schuyler's eyes adjusted to the light she slowly comprehended what she was seeing.  The two figures on the bed were Oliver and another Blue Blood Girl.
     They were performing the Caerimonia Oscular.

ok, so this is the first chapter of my version of what i think should have happened after the Blue Bloods book Revelations, instead of the events of The Van Alen Legacy. i started writing this before The Van Alen Legacy came out, so it doesn't in any way match up to that book, and alot of the stuff mentioned in that book doesn't show up here (like the subvertio, the Mimi-Kingsley romance, and Lutetia, to name a few) and i'm pretty sure i don't have anything on the actual Van Alen Legacy. i added a new OC, and the only alterations I've made since <The Van Alen Legacy</i> are Bliss and my OC's angel names and a little info on the battle of Rome.
THESE WERE MY INITIAL HOPES FOR THE VAN ALEN LEGACY AFTER FINISHING REVELATIONS, AND I STAND BY THEM-- EVEN IF THEY ARE, AT TIMES, BIZARRE.
