(Angel's POV)
"Iaria River... your base is beautiful" I said as me, Tord and Iaria walked through the Blue Army base, getting well away from the meeting room. Iaria River is the current Blue Leader and for a fifteen year-old, she took her role as leader very seriously, to the point it was hard to believe she was a child. The way she acted and spoke, it was always like a confident young lady... scary but impressive since she has only been the Blue Leader only this year.
"Thankyou Miss Angel, I hope Océan de glace- Ice Ocean isn't too cold for you" "It is a bit, but its alright" I told her, Iaria smiled at me as we walked outside, on a sheltered path as Iaria's bodyguard followed us, keeping his distance. "So Tord, have you found a bodyguard yet?" Iaria asked "Not yet he- the person I like doesn't love me back" Tord answered.
Another thing, after the meeting, Blake told me who the Army bodyguards are and their purpose... they're suppose to be the Leaders' partners, like Iaria and her bodyguard, Luke, are a couple. After I heard about it I thought it was stupid, but now I understand why the Leaders do that. Having the closest person to you that is also the person that you trust the most stand by your side is better than a trained soldier who you don't know well and you have to just simply give away to them and hope it wasn't the worst mistake they ever made... or that's how I'd put it. Whoever the Leader picks as both their partner and bodyguard goes through immense training for about a year before officially becoming a permanent bodyguard. I guess to some people, it's better dying with the person you love than a person you barely know.
"What about you Angel?" Iaria asked, snapping me out of my thoughts "Oh no, I don't... I might never have one" Iaria gave me a confused look "Then why do you have a bounding ring on your finger?" Iaria asked as I raised a brow "I only have one ring on and it was given to me when I died" I said before Tord grabbed my hand getting a look at it, I saw tiny purple veins coming out from under the gold ring. "It's a bounding ring" Tord stated as he let go of my hand "What the hell is a bounding ring?" I asked, confused and hoping I don't need to cut my own finger off. "A bounding ring is a forever promise between a celestial and another, a promise of love that can't be broken, only the Naturist of Hell actually knows how to break the ring" Iaria explained before her father called for her. She immediately walked over to her father, her guard following her. "Angel, there's a traitor in the Mid realm" "Traitor? Tord, what are you on about?" Tord looked at me "The traitor is the Grey Leader's son, he travelled into the Mid realm the same time you moved here... he's a suspect in your murder and your friends" he said as I tried to understand what he was saying. "The Grey Army is trying to create their own Hypnotics, so be careful who you tell things to" "...okay Tord" "Now Angel, who gave you the ring?" Tord asked "It was-" "Intruder! There's an intruder in the base!" before I could answer Tord, a guard yelled out from the east post. Me and Tord looked over at Iaria who's eyes glowed green, grabbing a shadow and slamming it against the wall of a nearby building. We ran over to her "Show yourself, demon" Iaria hissed as the shadow turned into a person- wait "Green?" I looked at my friend being held up against the wall by the Blue Leader. "How did you get in?" "By shadow-walking" Green answered, confused to as why he was being held by the throat at this point "Give me a reason why I shouldn't kill you" Iaria hissed "Because he's the one who gave me the bounding ring Iaria, now put him down before I make you" as I said that, Iaria let go of Green.
"Bounding ring?" "I'll explain it later" I told Green "How did she see me?" "She's a nightcrawler, they see everything in the dark, even a shadow walker like you" Tord answered. "Green, how did you get here?" I asked him "um... I was in the back seat of the car" "Seriously?! Why?!" I questioned him, now a little pissed off "Cause I was afraid to lose you again, okay?... it hurt so much to hear you died last time... I didn't want to feel like that again..." Green looked at the ground, I gave him a hug... I can't help it, he has a sweet heart when it comes to his friends. "I'm still really pissed about what you did" I told Green before letting him go "I know..." at this point, Iaria's father had walked off, Luke remained his distance and Iaria has went back to a good mood. "Angel, introduce Green properly to the Blue Leader" Tord whispered, I turned to Iaria "This is Green, my friend and a Hypnotic. Green, this is Iaria River, the Blue Leader who owns the army base you just wondered into" I said... at this point, didn't care how my 'introductions' come off "I'm sorry Miss River, I-" "Its okay Green, any friend of Angel's is mine, even the soon to be bodyguard like you" "I'm sorry, what?" Green looked really confused. I quickly pulled the shadow walker aside "Green, remember when you put this ring on my finger while I was dead" I showed him the ring "...yeah" "I was only just waking up as a Hypnotic for the first time" "Yeah?" he raised a brow as I took a breath "Well you putting the ring on my finger at that exact moment kinda turned the ring into a bounding ring" I told him. "Okay? still don't know what a 'bounding ring' is" he said "A bounding ring is a forever promise of love between a celestial and another, so guess what you just done" "um..." it was a few seconds until Green's eyes widened a bit "Shit" he whispered "Yeah, you gave a bounding ring to your friend" I harshly whispered. "Well all you have to do is see your cousin and she'll be able to get it off" Iaria smiled as both me and Green turned our heads to the Blue Leader "She have 'super hearing' too?" Green muttered before his face turned to more confusion "Cousin?" he questioned me "I'll explain that on the way back to Perible" I told Green before asking Iaria to walk us back to the meeting room.
Once we walked the main office, Blake was beyond angry "Green, what made you think you could just follow us into an army base without thinking of getting caught?!" "Like I knew they had a nightcrawler-" "Every army has at least one nightcrawler! The Armies aren't stupid!" Blake snapped yet no matter his tone, it didn't scare Green nor stop him spitting back at the man in the same tone "I just wanted to protect Angel". Blake had an annoyed look on his face "Blake, its okay, at least two Leaders approve on the Black Leader's bodyguard, well that's if you don't get the bounding ring off" Iaria said in attempts to calm both guys down yet immediately failing "Bounding ring?...." Blake's eyes drifted off Green and onto the ring on my hand. "It was while I was dead Blake, no one knew what it was until-" "Mr Drift, maybe you should take them home, get your two witches and take them to see Angel's new cousins before one of the other Leaders find out about this problem" Tord suggested, hinting that it was a good time to go. "Of course, thankyou for your time Blue Leader" "Thankyou Blake, see you soon Angel" "See you soon Iaria, bye Tord" I said before the three of us walked out and back to the car, me and Blake in the front as Green sat in the back. "Green, tomorrow is going to be Hell for you" Blake told Green as he started the engine "Yep, saw that coming... so who's your new cousins?" Green asked "Apparently, when I became a Hypnotic, I inherited the blood of the angel and demon that cursed me and they turned out to be a princess of Heaven and prince of Hell, meaning I'm now princess of Heaven and Hell, plus a chance I could end up on one of the thrones. Both thrones had seven children, now the descendants are my cousins so there's your answer" after I said that, I looked behind me to see Green with a shocked and surprised expression on his face as we drove back to Perible.
