My Guardian Serpent
Page #53


    I couldn't believe my eyes, I didn't want to believe it at all. Seeing her attacking me was enough, but seeing what she has become only made my heart sink into my stomach and was about to burn from the burning flames in my body.

She didn't respond to her name being called, she only glared into my eyes and then suddenly shrieked like a raging hawk at my face. I flinched a little, but then remembered that she was being controlled by Cythera.

"Attack him!" Cythera shouted, suddenly lifting herself up by her gigantic black wings, and flying into the dark stormy sky. Suddenly without hesitation, Miranda brought up her claw and scratched my left eye. I led out a roar of pain, but then quickly pushed her off of me before she did anything else. Her body flew back onto a huge boulder, and she fell onto the hard ground with a thud. But I guess it really didn't hurt her, since she suddenly shook her head repeatedly to shake off the pain, and glared at me with her black eyes in rage.

"Miranda, don't make me hurt you! I know you can hear me!" I yelled out at her, but she didn't listen. She refused to listen, and respond, so she then lifted herself up and leaped towards me like a jaguar. Landing on me once again with sudden impact, we rolled down the steep hill, cutting and scraping ourselves from the hard rocks all around us as we fought each other. I landed on top of her, and she tried to brake free from my gigantic dragon body. I pinned her arms on the ground and stared into her eyes.

"Miranda, please listen to me! You're being hypnotized by Cythera, I know you can fight her back!" I yelled in her face. She suddenly let out a fierce cry as she bared her carnivore teeth at me, and her eyes began to glow into a sick looking red color. Suddenly, she breathed in real hard, and immediately let out a blow of black fire right at my face. I couldn't resist, and let out a cry of pain from my face being burnt, and suddenly let go of her arms to rub my face from getting even worse.

Though my face felt like it was being burnt and all, my skin wasn't peeling off or anything, but my eyes were burning from the smoke and fire all around me. I shook my head, and blinked repeatedly in order to see clearly once again, since my vision was becoming such a blur from the black fire. Turning my gaze back to Miranda, all I saw after that was just her body leaping onto me once again, and dropping me onto my back on the hard ground, and she suddenly bit my neck with her little mouth. It hurt like hell, but I shook off the pain, and tried to grab her off of me, but surprisingly—she was becoming stronger than I.

"Get off of me!" I yelled out, baring my teeth at her as she did the same thing to me, and we both growled at each other. No respond, except another scream of anger.
"Miranda, I know you're still mad at me, and I know the real Miranda is in there somewhere in that pale body of yours, but you got to stop this nonsense!" I said.

She was breathing hard, and I felt her heart beating extremely fast from all her rage and from our fight. I didn't want to hurt her, even when I said to the others that if we ever came face to face with Miranda, that we shouldn't hesitate to fight her—truthfully I totally broke my own rule. I'm such an idiot when it comes to falling in love. I didn't care, I didn't want to hurt her, I never thought of doing it anyway. She was just an innocent human girl that deserves a normal life, instead of transforming into something like—this!

"Miranda, please listen to me!" I tried again, but she refused to listen. Having enough with her  tantrum, I quickly, and tried my hardest, to roll myself out from under her, and with a few tries or so, I finally managed to roll both of us around and I was once again on top of her, pinning both her arms onto the ground. Learning from my mistakes, I brought my scaly tail up and placed it onto her mouth so she wouldn't try to burn my face once again. She screamed and wiggled in my grasp, trying to get away from me, but I was more tougher and more stronger than her. So finally having the time and chance to get her attention, I decided to just apologize to her right there and then...

"Miranda, I know what I did was wrong and horrible, and I know that I had hurt your feelings and broke your heart really badly, but I just want you to listen to me just for once!"

"Shut up!" she screamed out. Her voice sounded cocky as if she had lost her voice and couldn't  speak in years. My heart beaded faster from hearing her voice once again, and I was glad that she finally responded, but not really since she was trying to shut me up.

"No, I'm not shutting up! I want you to listen to me for once, like how I listened to you yesterday and this morning when you were having problems at school and with your family!"

"Shut up, and get off of me!" she screamed again. She tried wiggling once again, but I gripped onto her arms real tight, and put all my weight onto her so she wouldn't break free. Finally speaking, I let go of her mouth and placed my tail back behind me, and wrapped it around both her legs to stop her from kicking my rear-end.

"Yesterday when we first met, you weren't really afraid of me and the reason why I was nice to you was because no other human has ever helped me before. In fact, no one that I truly knew ever helped me in situations like that. Even though I hurt myself on purpose to trick you, it really hurt like a bitch, and I guess I didn't think after that."

She growled at me, and then tried wiggling again. "You explained to me about your problems in life, and I listened very closely, we have some things in common that has happened to us in the past. You told me that your mother and father were having tons of fights and that you just wanted everything to be back to normal, because you didn't want to have a messed up family. Right now, I'm trying my hardest to bring everything back to normal for not only me and everyone else, but for you!"

She was still wiggling herself out, but I ignored it and still kept on going. "When Ricky tried to go after you, and you suddenly bailed him off for good, I didn't want you to get upset so I went into the water and took you under the sea to explore for awhile, and to take your mind off of the reality that was all around you. I didn't want you to get hurt or get killed from those creatures that tried to get you before, so I went and broke the rules by killing those creatures in order to save you."

Suddenly, she stopped wiggling herself and she stared at me with her black eyes. I think I got her.

"Please Miranda--I didn't mean to hurt you in any sort of way, not like this. I didn't mean for you to turn into a dark monster like how you are right now…I don't even deserve to be your friend if I did this to you." I gulped, hoping that my whole apologizing speech would do the trick. Suddenly, her breathing went from fast--to normal. Her little heart beats were like music to my ears once again, and I could see that her eyes were trying to adjust to the images around her as the blackness of her eye balls began to turn back to normal.

"Help me…"  I heard a faint beautiful whisper in my head…my God, it was Miranda. Suddenly without noticing, my throat was being held tightly by Miranda's hand. She transformed back to her dark-self (that's so not good) and she began to growl. I gasped for breath, but didn't let go of her other arm. She yelled loudly in my face that it rang my eardrums, and suddenly without warning, she freed her other arm, and hit my chest with a massive impact by both her fist, making me fly off of her and hitting my back on a boulder. I shook my head, and turned to see her getting up from the ground and what was appearing on both her claws were more black flames, flickering like candles and crackling like a fire place. They suddenly became bigger and brighter as she came a little closer to me, her eyes were glowing now like a horrifying possessed creature, and she began to bare her teeth at me as she growled like a mad dog.

I was completely horrified, and was utterly clueless, now knowing that there won't be a way to cure her from all this madness that her dark side is causing her. She couldn't forgive me, she didn't want to...never.

"Kill him, Miranda! Kill him now!" shouted Cythera from up above. Suddenly, both Salvador and Bowen slammed their hard scaly tails on Lucifer and Brock's backs, making them tumble off of them and let them free as they wiggled themselves out from under the bodies of the 2 ugly serpents. Leaping into the air, they both flew towards me, and suddenly landed in front of me as I laid their on the hard ground. Bowen bared his teeth at Miranda, as Salvador growled at her to make her stay away from me.

"What are you guys doing?" I asked.

"Defending your ass, before your girlfriend kills you!" blurted Salvy. I gave him an angry look, knowing that even though I only kissed Miranda, it doesn't mean that we're both together...are we?

"She's not my girlfriend!" I said to him. He shook his head and slithered out his snake-like tongue at me. I looked around, and turned back to him. "Where's Binx?"

"He went to go find your parents." he responded.

"Great plan, but next time don't let a small thing like him go do a big job!"

"Kill joy." He said, until Miranda cawed at us like a female hawk mixed with a lion's roar. The 3 of us flinched from her psycho caws and screams, but were ready for whatever she was going to do to us. She suddenly lifted both her claws at us, and slammed the black fire towards us, making all 3 of us slam back onto the boulder (what is with me slamming into things these days?!). We all grunted and groaned from slamming into each other from that massive impact, and our scales were burning from the flames that she threw at us. I shook the flames off of my body, while Bowen flapped his wings to stop them from increasing all over him, and Salvador just simply rolled his body all over the ground like a dog. I looked back at Miranda, and she was still in her position, until she was suddenly being lifted up off the ground—floating!

"What the--" Salvador blurted out, surprised and shocked about what he was staring at. Miranda was actually floating in the air like a ghost! My eyes widened from watching her floating higher and higher, still staring at us with those black eyes and that evil looking smile.

"Fight back!" she growled, her voice sounded scratchy and demon-like.

"Her dark spirit is already developing faster than before, guys we've gotta get her Plaharaxia before its too late!" I said to the guys.

"But how?! We're 3 against all of them, we'll never be able to get it in time!" said Salvador.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed in the sky and slammed into Miranda. It was an unexpected hit, which made her go in shock and flew her back and she fell onto the edge of the cliff. We were also shocked about that, since none of us had made that light. We turned our heads to the sky, and there in the opening, was Sapphire along with—a million or more dragons behind her! All were different colors, different sizes and appearances, either young or old. Part of them were from Isla Nublar I'll tell ya' that, but the rest of them I couldn't remember from my home land.

"Did someone call for help? Because my super ears were burning moments ago!" giggled Sapphire, as she stared down at all 3 of us as we had our mouths open in awe.

"Well, well, well, look who decided to join the party!" butted in Cythera. She suddenly made a roaring sound at the sky, but it wasn't just for show, she was signaling her smoky creatures to emerge out of the sky and to her side. From the looks of it, it looked as if there were more than a million of those smoky creatures! All were black with glowing red eyes, and were all cawing and shrieking like the seagulls from the beach back on earth. I was terrified, knowing that there was going to be a war here, but I refused to be fearful and a coward. I lifted myself off the ground and flew upward towards Sapphire's side, along with Salvador and Bowen following behind me. All were staring at the smoky creatures and Cythera, as Miranda got up from her spot and suddenly leaped off the ground and landed onto Cythera's gigantic black shoulder as if she was some kind of parrot.
