Chapter 13: Cursed Blood
“You’re joking,” Rose said weakly. “Please tell me you’re joking.”
Miranda laughed weakly. “I wish I was, but I’m not. Darkfire dies, I die. Very simple, really.” “But Darkfire… he killed me, to. I had the Mark and everything, but… Jake was able to…” “Bring you back?” “Yeah.”
Miranda rubbed her arm, leaning down to gently run her fingers through Raffi’s midnight black fur as the cat pressed her body against her owner’s legs, purring. She took a deep breath.
“Rose, the only reason you were able to come back was because you weren’t linked to Darkfire. You had the Mark, but you weren’t bound to him by blood. I am. The only reason Servants didn’t die when you killed him the first time was because the ones closest to him—Mom and I—didn’t sense his presence until he was killed.” Miranda chewed her lip.
“Bound blood is cursed blood. You came back because you weren’t bound to Darkfire, and Mom and I just survived the first time because our Marks didn’t sense his presence until he was already dead.” Slowly she opened her fingers, showing her Mark. It glowed a deep, brilliant red, giving off small beams of light. “Now my Mark has sensed Darkfire.”
“You know how the blood binding works. I feel everything Darkfire feels, my death could weaken him, blah, blah, blah. But I will die when you kill Darkfire…. Because I’m bound to him. Why do you think Darkfire was weakened when Nika killed herself?” She took a deep, shuddering breath, straightening to look at each of her friends.
“I can’t come back. When I die, I’m dead. When you kill Darkfire, I’m dead. It’s the curse of the binding of blood. The ultimate loyalty.” She laughed again, but there was no bitterness in the sound, only grief.
Miranda jerked her chin, and her dark brown eyes flashed defiantly.
“But I don’t care. I know I’m going to die, but I don’t care, not if I have to die so the rest of the world can be safe.”
Her gaze slid slowly over Rose’s face, then Jake’s, before finally coming to rest on IronHand’s.
“Kill Darkfire. I don’t care what happens to me… I know what will happen to me. None of the other Servants will be affected, because only Mom and I served him for this time. So kill him.” Her eyes shone with unshed tears.
“Kill Darkfire. Kill him for me.”
End chapter 13
Yeah... explaination as to why Miranda is dying and all...

Chapter 14: Friends
“Miranda…”
Miranda bit her lip, looking silently at IronHand, pleading him not to say anything. He gazed at her for a moment before roughly pulling her in, hugging her like he never wanted to let go. Miranda stiffened in shock, but slowly relaxed into his embrace, her arms wrapping around his neck as she buried her face in his shoulder.
“You have to do it,” she said shakily. “It’s the right thing.” “It doesn’t feel like it…” “It’s me or the world, Kellen. You know what will happen.”
IronHand slowly stepped away from Miranda, gazing at her for a long time; after a moment, he turned to Jake. “Let’s do it,” he said softly. Jake nodded, and the two took off, Lao Shi not far behind. Rose made a move to follow, pausing when she felt Miranda take her hand.
“I know I’m doing the right thing,” she murmured, her dark brown eyes meeting Rose’s light blue ones, “but I’m still scared. Can you stay with me? Please?”
Rose gazed at the girl for a long time. Finally, she sighed.
“What are friends for?” she murmured, slowly sinking to the ground with her friend. Raffi squeezed between the two girls, purring softly, and Miranda released Rose’s hand to stroke her cat’s head. Rose gently ran her hand down Raffi’s back, noting that Miranda’s hands were shaking. Her face was pale, and she was obviously fighting tears.
Gently, Rose reached out, taking Miranda’s hand once again. Miranda jerked in surprise but didn’t protest, and gently Raffi pressed her head against the girls’ joined hands, purring softly.
And together they sat, two girls and a cat, waiting silently for the end. There was nothing else they could do.
End chapter 14
Nothing to say about this chapter, really...

Chapter 15: Show No Mercy Darkfire shook his head, blinking groggily. Selena’s death still had him in a daze, and Jake hoped to God he would stay that way. He swung his head to Lao Shi and IronHand. “Show no mercy,” he said. “When this guy dies, I want to make sure he stays dead.” They nodded, their eyes unusually cold and hard. Jake flared his wings, diving for Darkfire’s shoulder, landing hard, digging his claws into the demon’s flesh. The demon jerked in surprise, and before he could react, Jake whipped his head around, burying his teeth into Darkfire’s neck. Darkfire let out a roar, swiping wildly with one hand. His claw caught Jake in a light blow, knocking him away, raking his claws down Jake’s side; pain flashed through Jake, and he roared, flaring his wings to keep from falling. Lao Shi swept past him, a dark blue bullet. Fire began to swirl within Lao Shi’s jaws, but instead of releasing the flame against Darkfire’s body, Lao Shi instead breathed the fire right into the demon’s dim eyes. Darkfire let out an inhuman shriek of pain, clawing at his eyes as Lao Shi smashed hard into his knee. The demon toppled to the ground, like a mountain being crushed by the forces of the earth. He didn’t even struggle to rise, just lay still, breathing hard, raggedly. He was still weak from Selena’s death, and Jake, Lao Shi, and IronHand were fueled by the knowledge that even if Darkfire died, he would die taking a friend from them. The battle wasn’t hard as it had been before, because of Darkfire’s weakness, and because of the rage that pounded through the veins of Jake, Lao Shi, and especially IronHand. Darkfire knew this, and he knew there was no point in fighting. He only blinked groggily as the metal human hefted a car with his powers, moving it over the demon’s chest. The two dragons stood of silently to the side, watching. “This is for Miranda.” The car smashed hard into Darkfire’s chest; the demon was too weak to fight it, to weak to try and remove it. Pain exploded within him, shot in all directions, climbing his spine and smashing into his skull with the force of a sledgehammer, and brilliant lights and colors exploded in his eyes, fading back into a blinding flash of white, and then eternal darkness. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Rose had been subconsciously prepared for the moment, knew as soon as Darkfire went down that Miranda’s time was nearly up, but she still stiffened, her insides freezing when a noise escaped Miranda, a sort of gasping sigh. Rose whirled to face her, a pained cry escaping her as Miranda’s body went limp, collapsing against her. “Miranda!” Rose caught the other girl before she hit the ground; Raffi let out a blood-curdling yowl, leaping over her owner’s body, coming to crouch on her other side, desperately running a paw over her suddenly pale face, her claws sheathed. “Miranda,” Rose choked out. “Mindy, no. Please.” Miranda’s eyes met Rose’s for a heartbeat, but it was too late; she sighed softly, her muscles went still, and the light in her eyes died. Slowly, her eyes fluttered shut, her head coming to rest against Rose’s chest. “Miranda,” Rose sobbed. Raffi gently ran a paw over Miranda’s cheek, mewling softly, as though trying to rouse her; when she didn’t respond, the cat through her head back and released a grief-stricken wail. Miranda was dead. End chapter 15 ... I hate myself right now, I really do....
