They send me away to find them a fortune
A chest filled with diamonds and gold
A demoness born out of fire and anger. Snow hair betrayed her wrath that pooled deep within. Her power was immeasurable, capable of laying the angels' armies and weapons to waste in mere seconds.
When the enemy sees her, they call their highest generals to battle and only a mere few emerged victorious. But only once.
The house was awake
With shadows and monsters
The hallways they echoed and groaned
The curse of wrath calls upon the deepest and ugliest beings, screaming for revenge, for the injustice done to them. Settling within a body, an instrument for them to wage war.
Only she was strong and old enough to control and not succumb to their whispers. She gave them the means and they grant her their power.
Papa was beyond ecstatic. Finally, finally. There was a demon capable of wielding the curse.
I sat alone, in bed 'til the morning
I'm crying, "They're coming for me."
But even the strong break.
As time passed, the beings preferred to stay. They have grown accustomed to using her as a tool for their own anger.
MiraJane was no longer alone in her own mind.
And I tried to hold these secrets inside me
My mind's like a deadly disease
Mira had a younger full blooded sister who had the same snow white hair. Skin as soft and supple as hers.
Except she was weaker, prone to sickness. Mira was her only friend and Dianna was her best friend.
Day after day, Mira lied what the outside world was like. The beauty and wonders she had fabricated just to see the smile and twinkle in Dianna's eyes.
I'm bigger than my body
I'm colder than this home
I'm meaner than my demons
I'm bigger than these bones
The voices grew louder and more insistent. They whisper of revenge, the thirst.
The need to kill.
I paced around for hours on empty
I jumped at the slightest of sounds
And I couldn't stand the person inside me
I turned all the mirrors around
When she unleashed their power, even the demons cower in fear. There was no stopping her, not until the thirst was quenched.
Even after the enemy was destroyed, she - they - turned to the demons and began to rip all of them apart.
Limb from limb. Skin from skin.
The land dyed red and it was as far as the eye can see.
I'm bigger than my body
I'm colder than this home
I'm meaner than my demons
I'm bigger than these bones
Dianna was dying. Mira could see it. If Mira could see it, so could they.
Papa wouldn't even bother visiting her, she was useless to him.
Mira would stare and sob while she slept. How was there no cure? What if there was but they were too focused on the war to move forward?
Drink her!
You will get out of my head this instant. Mira hissed.
They laughed. You're only doing her a favor. Why do you prolong her suffering?
And all the kids cried out,
"Please stop, you're scaring me."
"I know you can Mira! You have to! There is no point in me living anymore!"
"How dare you! Do I not mean anything to you?" Mira threw a bookcase across the room as she stared Dianna down.
"It's because you mean so much to me, I ask you to do this!" Dianna struggled to get up but her arm wasn't strong and she almost fell if not for Mira rushing to her side.
Dianna looked into Mira's eyes and stroked her cheek with a shaking hand. She whispered, "I have heard of our half-siblings, sister. Papa is bringing us all together. You will not be alone."
"But I only want you." Mira couldn't take it, she let her tears fall.
"Silly girl. I won't let you waste your life away on me. The world is barren from the war, is it not?"
Mira nodded slightly. She wasn't surprised Dianna figured out her lies. She was sick, not stupid.
"It is barren but only if you let it be, sister. You have the power to move beyond the Eternal Conflict. I know you do. I know you desperately want to."
"Let me free you from me, please."
"I love you."
I can't help this awful energy
Goddamn right, you should be scared of me
Who is in control?
The deed was done. The voices had wanted to kill by strangulation just to see the struggle but Mira sought out her strength to defy them. She did it cleanly and swiftly. She could do it, for Dianna.
At least, that's what she tried to tell herself at night.
I'm well acquainted
With villains that live in my bed
They beg me to write them
So they'll never die when I'm dead
Mira was alone but in her mind there was almost no peace. She sought out blood to quiet them but it only worked for awhile.
At night when they decide to entertain themselves, images of Dianna and what could have been played in her mind. Taunts of how Mira was too lazy to find a cure, of how she was too weak to succumb to the thirst and kill her only sister. That she was just like them.
Like an endless loop.
Again, again, and again.
And I've grown familiar
With villains that live in my head
They beg me to write them
So I'll never die when I'm dead
"I have grown accustomed to silencing and controlling them that it's almost natural. As if they were a part of me to begin with. That is why you were unable to sense them."
Mira cradled Laxus' cheek. "I cannot be with you if even I cannot predict what and how they will react."
"Ridiculous, it's been so long, Mira."
She smiled sadly at him before letting him go. "And I still see Dianna's face even after all this time."
"That's why you didn't let me in fully. All that crack about wanting to see how was my thought process? It was all you, wasn't it?"
"I-"
Let me in.
"It's not a game to prove your manly parts, Laxus!" Mira stood up, glaring at him. "You do not take a chance with my mind!"
She stomped out of the room, making sure to hit Laxus with her tail on her way out. Sighing, Laxus covered his face with his hands. Maybe he should kidnap her too.
The four angels landed silently a distance away from the massive camp.
"You would have thought that they would at least try to not be so obvious."
"Well, none of us had known about this if not for Lisanna."
"I would have known! I was just busy!"
"Keep telling yourself that."
"What did you say?!"
"Silence!" The two instantly stopped bickering at the command. "Focus, you fools. Your pettiness could have caused the enemy to find us!"
The two angels solemnly nodded and muttered a quick apology. "Sorry, Erza." They looked to the camp and said, "Just give us the word to attack."
