"How could you? How could you let them control your life? even when you know you're worth nothing. A waste of time. A no body. You're not special, important, or anything... just a girl being killed slowly, and there's no point in saving you"...

Monday, 15th August
(Angel's POV)
I jolted awake, sitting up to see the room empty, no one in the room whatsoever as another knock came from the door "Y-yeah?" I answered, voice raspy and dry. Blake hesitantly opened the door and walked into the room, walking over and giving me a box wrapped in brown paper addressed to me "What's this?" I asked. "Something Jackal wanted to send you years ago- or a least give you the other night..." Blake answered before walking out, saying nothing else as I stared at the box... it's been two days since Blake talked to me, mostly because Green told him to back off, but... I stared at the box a little more before picking up my phone to check the time. Six in the morning, Monday. I put my phone down and unwrapped the brown paper. The box was black with an envelope taped onto it by its sides, I pulled the envelope off, taking out the letter inside it and started reading;

My Dearest little girl,
You'd probably be all grown up and maybe still human by the time you get this, but I hope one day we'll meet when you become a Hypnotic, become part of our family along with your new Hypnotic brother. This box has a few things that we would like you and your brother to have, there's a list inside saying who gets what and we hope you two love each other like family. A month after me and Jackal cursed you, I ended up with a blood curse giving me only giving me til November 29 2015 before going into death sleep. Euanthe is gonna try to create a cure to wake me up from the sleep, but I don't think she'll be able to make it without its non-existing items. There is a chance I'll never meet you or your Hypnotic brother, but I do love you both as much as I love Jackal. Inside is a yin and yang necklace, they use to be mine and Jackal's. I wish for you to give the yang necklace to the first Hypnotic and only him. I hope you make sure all things in this box stay under your name and protection...

-Love Ashunti  Reaper  Morning

Ashunti? I heard Jackal say that name the night I met him. Ashunti's last name was crossed out and replaced with 'Morning', guess someone or possibly one of her cousins liked her old last name more than Jackal's. Since Jackal my 'curse demon', would that mean Ashunti is my 'curse angel'? and her choice of words- she called the first hypnotic my 'brother', at the time... did she really think about all this being the result of a family? I placed the letter down and opened the box... there was papers for things under my name, a book about the royal family, photos of Ashunti and Jackal growing up with their cousins... then there were the two necklaces, one yin and the other yang. I put on the yin necklace on before dragging myself out of bed to get ready for school.

3 Hours Later...
For the last hour, Green had been walking by my side, not daring to say a word to me. Whenever someone walked up to me and went to ask me a question about being a Hypnotic or princess of heaven and hell, he would give them this stare and tell them to fuck off, he only let people say normal things like 'hello'... he was actually being a great friend, well... to me, in his own way. I actually completely forgotten about the bounding ring, well that was until we walked past a group of girls talking about it. "Accidentally being bounded to a handsome rich guy- that would be a dream come true-" "Forget that, imagine one of those cute hypnotic boys giving you a bounding ring- being with such a rare person..." to be honest... their conversation made me fucking sick. I swear, most people just care about the looks, status or in this case 'rarity' of someone. "Hey Angel! Wait up!" I stopped at the sound of Tord's voice as he ran over to us, Green remaining silent. "So you guys are coming with us to Ice Cold Cabin this weekend?" Tord asked "Yeah, why?" I answered as we turned a corner into the corridor where the library was. "Turns out there's a Dark Moon Eclipse on Friday night, so maybe we leave 4am on Friday, two nights instead of one?" Tord suggested as we walked into the empty library. "What's a Dark Moon Eclipse?" I asked as we sat down at a table "An eclipse, but the moon turns dark purple as a blood red light shines behind it, it only happens every one hundred years, it's worth seeing, one of the greatest things the Mid realm has to offer" Tord explained as I opened the book I got from Jackal and Ashunti. "Don't we have school on Friday?" I questioned "Friday becomes a public holiday, everyone will be trying to see the eclipse at Moonlit Mountain, but we'll be able to get a great view of the whole eclipse at the cabin" "Alright, if you say so" I hesitantly agreed to the suggested idea "I gotta go, but I'll text you more information later" Tord then rushed out of the library.

I turned back to the 'Royal Family' book, flipping the page to the next chapter called 'A Royal's Consort', as I read, Green started reading it too from where he was sitting "Your distracting me" I told him, glancing up at him from the corner of my eye "That's seriously the first thing you said to me in three days" Green stated, looking back at me. "Sorry..." he immediately apologized before going back to staring at the book "When you meet Satan- your 'grandfather'... he's not gonna give you a suitor straight away, is he?" Green hesitantly asked "He can't while I'm bound to you" I answered. Green stared at the book a little more "... would you like to read the book together?" I asked, earning a small nod from Green "Only if you don't mind". I moved my bag so Green could shift over to see the book better. We spent the whole study period reading a few chapters before having to go off to different classes the rest of the day... I wonder what this book says about the Royals on a Dark Eclipse Moon.
