(Angel's POV)
I sat alone in the room I was sharing with the girls, looking at my arms. They have both gone pale and dead looking... this can't be one of the effects of the eclipse, can it? "Angel! the eclipse is gonna start!" Faith yelled from outside. I quickly pulled down the sleeves of my hoodie and walked out of the room and downstairs... and also right into Green "Sorry-" "It's fine, Angel... I was actually coming up to get you" Green assured me "Well, here I am now..." I nervously laughed "Alright, well the others are waiting outside, down by the firepit" Green told me before leading the way. I followed close behind, soon walking out of the back door, out onto the small balcony. I walked halfway down the stairs leading to the ground below until my legs numbly gave in, Green catching me immediately. "You alright- what's with your legs?" Green asked, I immediately looked down at my legs, both pale and dead looking like my arms "Angel... what's happening?" Green asked, worry buried deep in his voice "The Dark Moon eclipse drains royal magic, meaning mine as well... I'm alright, really" I assured Green, lying on the last few words. "You should've told us or at least me" "Green-" "We could've told the guys we weren't coming-" "Corey" he went quiet as I looked at him in the eyes "I didn't know about this until late last night whilst doing research, but I assure you... I'm completely fine" I told him "But-" "Promise me you won't tell the others until after the eclipse is over" I told him. "I should be back to normal by then" Green looked at the others sitting by the lit firepit "Corey..." he dragged his attention back to me "I can't die, I'm a Hypnotic now... I can put up without having magic for a hour or two" I assured him as he looked into my eyes for a spit second before looking away, angrily signing in annoyance. "Fine, but let me help you down to the firepit" Green insisted "Okay" I quietly agreed. Green wrapped an arm around me then helped me down the stairs and over to the others "Just in time, it's about to start" Edd smiled as I sat down beside Tom, Green sitting down on the other side of me "Angel, you okay?... you seem a little... pale" Tom said, a little concern in his voice. "I'm alright" I smiled, waving him off as the full moon started to turn black.
I felt completely hypnotised as red swirled around the moon before a quick red flash brightened the sky for a second, and as the light dimmed, the moon turned dark purple with a bright red ring around it shining brightly. It looked so beautiful, but... "Angel? you okay?" Green asked as I felt the world spin around me and my own vision blackening.
(Green's POV)
"Angel- shit!" I quickly caught her as everyone's attention was immediately pulled away from the eclipse and was focused on us "What's wrong with her?" Holly asked, rushing over to us with panic in her voice "The eclipse is only suppose to drain her magic, but... Holly, call Euanthe now" I snapped, Holly immediately bolted inside as I picked up Angel and carried her in my arms. I hurried back over to the cabin, rushed up the stairs and inside, gently placing her down on the couch as Holly finally got hold of Euanthe "Hello?" Holly immediately put Euanthe on speaker so we could all hear "It's Angel, we don't know what's wrong-" "Holly, slow down, I can barely hear you" Euanthe said as everyone else walked into the cabin "The eclipse-" "Wait, what? the eclipse only drains magic temporarily, why are you panicking?" Euanthe questioned "Cuz she fucking passed out and looks as pale as a corpse!" I coldly snapped, resulting in silence eating sound for a few seconds. "The eclipse didn't do that- wait, Green... check her bounding ring" I looked down at the ring, the black veins underneath has turned dark green "Her veins are green" I told Euanthe "It's-" Euanthe's voice cutted off "Fuck!" Holly muttered under her breath "Phone died" she announced. I looked back at Angel to see her sitting up a bit and trying to get off the couch "Angel-" she fell off the couch as I immediately rushed over to her. I pulled Angel up into my arms, mostly resting on my lap as these black ink-like tears rolled down her cheeks "She's dying..." Faith whispered to herself yet loud enough for everyone to hear "If it's the ring then... Green, I think the ring has something to do with it" Holly told me right before Jacob yelled in panic "Then take the bloody ring off!" "They can't" Tom snapped, loud enough to gain everyone's attention. "To take off a bounding ring, one of the promised two has to say they hate the other and mean it" Tom reminded them as he turned his head to Tord who's gaze stayed on Angel "Tom's right... she's gonna die before either of them say it".

"Come on Angel, just say it" I begged, still holding her in my arms as tears threatened my eyes "N-no..." she answered. At this point, Angel was now struggling to breathe and her heartbeat was slowing down a lot "You're being really stubborn right now" "You too" Angel weakly smiled, make me laugh a little as a tear rolled down my face "Please say it, say you hate me" I begged again "N-never to a... f-friend" she told me. "Isn't there a way of tricking her into saying it?" Matt asked Tord "She has to mean it Matt, there's no use just tricking someone into saying such words" Tord told Matt "This camping trip has gotten quite interesting" Vixen stated, recording the whole thing on his phone "Vixen, you're not helping" Holly snapped, snatching the phone out of Vixen's hand. "I'm recording our findings of this event- just say whatever goodbyes now before 'her time is up'" Vixen said "...I hate to say this, but Vixen is right" Tom admitted, all of us immediately looked at him "Look, Angel is never gonna hate anyone in this room, especially not Green.... she's not gonna admit shit" Tom stated. Vixen then walked over to me and Angel, looking into her eyes before whispering "See you in hell"... which I then immediately snapped "What the fuck is that supposed to-" "I love you...." I froze in fear as the quiet pained words hit my ears, Angel's voice... Holly teared up as Vixen walked over to her and held her close. Everyone seemed shocked and pained with sadness "No..." I looked down at her, eyes closed as all signs of life drained from her "Angel... please...." my voice broke as a few more tears rolled down my face... she's gone... again. Tord and Edd walked over and went to take her "Green-" "No!" I yelled, eyes burning bright green "Stay away!" and almost immediately, dark flame-like shadows surrounded me and Angel, knocking both boys hard to the ground. I lowered my head, placing a gentle kiss on her forehead "...I love you too......" I whispered quietly so no one would hear as I held her close, not wanting to let her go.... not again.
