(Green's POV)
I sat there with Angel still in my arms "Green... have you calmed down yet?" Holly hesitantly asked... at this point, the shadow-flames had disappeared. "No..." I answered "Green-" "No!" I snapped, interrupting Vixen "Don't act like you fucking care- back in the Human realm, I didn't have any real friends... out of all the people in this room, Angel was the only one who actually wanted to be my friend" I snapped, eyes narrowed and full of anger. "The only person who didn't see me as a horrible person, who didn't care about my flaws. the only person who cared about me, the only person who... loved me.... and she's gone..." my voice broke, filled with pain and dry tears "The only person I ever loved is gone, so don't tell me everything's okay- don't tell me to calm down-" "Green" Tom interrupted me with a harsh voice as he walked over to me, kneeling down by my side. "You see them everyday and then... they're gone" he placed a hand on my shoulder "The worst day of loving someone is the day you lose them... and nothing will make up for the fact that the only thing that you ever loved left a hole in your life where that person you cared about used to be... and you have to realise that you have to let them go" Tom continued. "Corey.... I know how it feels cuz the two people who were suppose to always be in my life died when I was really young and needed them the most" Tom admitted, surprising all of the younger teens whilst Edd, Matt and Tord seemed as though pained by the old memory. "It feels like you're choking on air, like someone's ripped something out of your chest..." he was right, that's exactly how I feel right now, but a million times worse "You don't have to hide your feelings and emotions, but you do need to let go-" I immediately hugged Tom, clinging onto his shirt as he tightly hugged me back. Matt picked up Angel's lifeless body and gently placed her back on the couch "How do you feel?" Tom quietly asked "H-how I feel? I feel sad, angry, lonely... scared" I admitted, voice breaking as if killing itself "I can't take it- I can't take the pain, I wish I couldn't feel anything... I wish I couldn't feel a fucking thing-" "It's okay" Tom whispered, still hugging me tightly as Edd motioned everyone upstairs to the bedrooms whilst Tord and Matt stayed by the bottom of the stairs. "She's gone..." I cried a bit.
6am
I woke up, looking around the room I was sharing with Jacob and Vixen, finding both dead asleep.... when did go upstairs? did I pass out or something? if I did, then one of the older guys must've had to carry me upstairs to bed. I got up and quietly walked out of the room, being careful not to wake the two up. I walked over to the staircase before immediately crouching down once seeing Tord downstairs in obvious view, sitting on a couch next to the one Angel was still laying on. "I know you're there, Green" Tord stated as I froze up "I'd be a crappy leader if I didn't know what or who is near me" he said as I signed, standing up and walking downstairs, and over to him "Why haven't you call an ambulance to get her or something?" I found myself asking "We're in the middle of a forest with no decent phone reception" Tord told me. "Plus with Grey Army soldiers throughout the realm at the moment, don't exactly trust that many people outside close friend groups" Tord explained his other reason as I sat down next to him "...why are you still down here with her?" I asked "Someone should stay with her just in case" Tord answered, folding his arms as he leaned back into the couch. "But also just thinking about what it would've been like to be her... be the special person everyone wants to be" "But... you're gonna be a leader of an entire army" I reminded Tord "I'm pretty sure everyone would want to be you-" "Being a coloured army leader requires you to keep your identity secret depending on which army you're the leader of" Tord interrupted. "No one knows, Green... they don't know" "You didn't tell Edd? Matt?... not even Tom?" I questioned, rather shocked. Everyone in this cabin knows that Angel's the next Black Army Leader, but Tord... he hasn't even told his closest friends he's gonna be the next Red Leader- one of the most important, powerful and feared people in the Mid realm. "Why-" "Cuz... I know they don't like the fact that I'm beinng trained as a soldier in the Red Army, telling them who I'm suppose to become at the end of this year would just scare them" Tord told me "Everyone in this fucking realm fears the Red Army even though we're the 'good guys', for years now... 'be careful who you tell', 'don't trust anyone', 'only tell your future wife or husband'... which is never gonna happen because the person I like just thinks I'm a friend" Tord stated. "I'm scared that if I tell the guys, they would get hurt... it'll hurt Tom the most" Tord admitted as I quietly signed "Angel never liked being in the spotlight" I told Tord as he looked over at me "She's got this lovely singing voice, but no matter how many times Holly or Trixi tired to convince her to sing in front of people, Angel would just hide or go very quiet" I laughed a bit. "She'd be fine one minute then turn into a shy mouse the next" I told Tord as he too smiled a bit "Kind of like Tom when he first started playing guitar, he only played in his room when he thought the house was empty... then once he started music as a subject at school, he asked me to sing with him while he played for an assignment" Tord shared "He got an 'A' at the end". Tord's gaze then shifted from the ground back to Angel "She looks peaceful, don't you think?" "Yeah, she does...." I quietly agreed.
(?'s POV)
I pulled my eyes off the girl towards Corey and Tord, not even acknowledging my existence as I stood in front of them "Hey! can't you see me?" I snapped yet they continued talking "Can't you hear me...?" nothing... I looked back at the girl as she laid motionless and dead-like on the couch.
She's the very thing I've been stuck to since she was born. I've been her shadow for such a long time, almost thirteen years now... although I've grown to like my human, I still hate her and find her extremely annoying. So many things that could've been so easy for her to do... she always does what's 'best' for her friends and 'family', she's so fucking selfless. She never looks after herself properly, always puts herself down and is depressed all the time. And now she's dead- wait... if she's dead, I shouldn't be here anymore, I should be back in- "Hey! wake up!" I snapped yet she didn't wake up, she just laid there motionless. "You're not fucking doing this- wake up!" still nothing, I angrily signed. "You're the second Hypnotic- nothing can kill you so don't just fucking lay there, wake up!..." still nothing... one option left "That's it- wake up!" I hit her chest, exactly where her heart is.
(Green's POV)
Both me and Tord flinched a bit as Angel suddenly sat up, black ink-like tears running down her face as she coughed up black liquid... yeah, she kind of scared me and Tord a bit. After a few seconds of my mind attempting to process what was happening, it immediately gave up as I jumped up and hugged Angel, feeling her hug me back whilst her black-ink tears stained my shirt as Tord bolted upstairs, yelling out 'Angel's awake!', the others trying to convince him that it was 'just a dream' but no. This isn't a dream. I'm actually holding her in my arms and she's breathing and talking. "Never do that again" I begged "My god, Green... did I really scare you that much?" Angel asked, laughing a bit "But-" "I told you I was fine and that I should be alright" she reminded me- oh... right. Hypnotics can only be killed by the blood of the first and second, and since she's the second Hypnotic- god fucking dammit... I feel so stupid. "Don't ever try to prove a point ever again" I told her, kissing her forehead as she sat there confused about what was happening "Please promise me-" "Okay Green, I promise" Angel assured me right before I hugged her again "God I love you so much... please never put me through that ever again" I muttered loud enough for her to hear me. I have my angel back, and I couldn't be anymore happier.
