Vira collapsed, her breath coming out in rigid gasps. Her eyes were a dull silver, hazing over with death. She coughed out blood, slowly bleeding out on the floor. She stretched her neck to see Vashen and Maza collide. She tried to call out for him to just run away with Jake, but she couldn't make out the words. Her vision was going black and white, spots and stars dancing around like fireworks, slow hints of red seeping through. She closed her eyes, Firrae, Vashen, Her mom, and most of all, Jake, flashing through her head. She struggled, pushing herself up on her elbows, her vision fading in and out. She spotted Firrae, and called to her in her head.<br/><br/>______________________________<br/><br/>Firrae stood in the door way in shock. She could feel Fisraee's energy throughout the room.<span style="font-style: italic">She put up a fight.</span>She searched the room, then saw Fis. Her eyes flooded with tears as she met her sisters death stricken gaze. Blood was dripping from her lips, and a puddle of it formed beneth her. She heard a faint call from her in the back of her mind, and her feet instantly moved beneath her. She fell to her knees next to her sister, flipping her over. SHe found the bullet whole in her stomach, which had opened the cut from Vashen's sword<br/><br/>"Damn it..This isn't right!" She shook the tears out of her eyes growiling. She tore at the bottom of her baggy t-shirt and wrapped it tight around the wound several times. She carefully picked up Fisraee and carried her to the corner of the room next to the cradle.<br/><br/>" Damn Fis, why didnt you run, why did you fight!?" Firrae shook with anger.<br/><br/>___________________________________<br/><br/>Vira winced, opening her eyes, finding Firrae's tear soaked red ones. She slowly raised her hand to her sisters cheek, giving a small smile.<br/><br/>"Thank you Firrae. You helped save Vashen, and you helped bring my child into this world." Vira could feel a tug at her heart.<span style="font-style: italic">Its over now Vira</span>She smiled a bit bigger, a tear escaping her closed eyes.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">My Dear Vashen, i wish you would grab Jake and escape, but instead, uou must fight. You wouldn't believe it, but i fought back. If it had been Vick...he wouldn't have stood a chance. I think we both know why im saying all this right now...</span>she groaned, wincing as the energy slowly left her body. She mustered up some more, and continued.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Protect him Vashen, you and Firrae...give him what he is losing...let Firrae take my place..it cant be that hard to fall for her..i mean..we are practically the same..<br/>Vashen..i know about your family. My mind merged with hers when she was healing me. I want you to know...i wasn't scared...i trust you love. I know you will protect Jake with your life...Maybe........</span>She coughed up some more blood, FIrrae screaming something, but it was like a distant echo. She gave it one last go.<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Maybe you can change Lexia.I think you can....Vashen..im close now..Just know i love you.</span><br/><br/>She grasped Firrae's hand, holding it tight. She would fight till her very last breath...maybe Vashen would return. and say goodbye...
