Mira looked through her clothes as she got ready for her dad's funeral. She didn't want to go, but she knew she had to. Her mother needed her especially now.
Mira saw the wooden box with the bow still wrapped around it. She had been busy helping her mom she forgot about it until now.
She took the box out of her bag and untied the bow. Opening the box she saw a scarab hair clip. She could tell Yami tried his best to make it for her.
The scarab itself was made from abalone. To some people they would consider it tacky. But to Mira she loved every detail of it.
Brushing her hair she parted it slightly before sliding the clip on and clasping it together. She would have to thank Yami when she got back home.
Mira finished getting ready before she joined her mother outside before getting in the car. Mira and her mother sat in silence on the way to the funeral home. Mira was told the drunk driver would be tried. But it wasn't enough for her. Her father was gone.
Her father knew a lot of people and saw all the cars in the parking lot. One of them she could have dealt not seeing. It was her ex. He respected her dad a great deal.
She still didn't want to see him after the stunt he pulled with her at the festival. Mira took a deep breath and followed her mother inside.
There her father lay in his casket. To her it didn't look like him. Her father was always full of life it was hard to look at his body so lifeless.
It was then she felt a hand on her shoulder. It was Brendan. Her stomach dropped. "I'm sorry to hear about your father Mira." He told her.
Mira gave him a slight smile "thanks. It means a lot." She said before walking away from him. Then in the back of the room she spotted a familiar face. It was Billie. Mira walked past everyone quickly as she made her way to him.
Billie saw her and held his arms open wide. When she reached him he hugged her tightly. "I came as soon as I could. Yugi told me what happened." He told her.
Mira sighed "thank you for coming Billie it means a lot to me it really does." She told him. Billie smiled at her "when we get back home come see me at the shop you will need some ink therapy." He told her.
Mira smiled and nodded "that sounds good." She said. Mira and Billie had sat down next to her mother as the service began.
Mira did good she didn't cry until they took the casket to the gravesite and and the remaining service began. She took a flower from his casket before they began to lower it into the ground.
That night Mira couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned until she heard something hit the window.
Mira got up to see what it was and saw it was Brendan who was tossing rocks at her window.
Mira quietly walked downstairs and out the front door. "Do you have any idea what time it is?" She asked.
Brendan nodded as he walked up to her "I wanted to talk to you." He told her.
Mira looked at him skeptically "what is so important that you woke me up to talk to me about?" She asked.
Brendan shuffled his foot in the ground "I wanted to tell you I was sorry for cheating on you. I didn't take the news of you leaving to be with your brothers well at all." He said.
Mira looked at him "and you still thought it was ok to cheat? You could have talked to me about how you felt about me going. But instead you broke my heart and deceived me." She said folding her arms across her chest.
Brendan sighed before taking a step closer making Mira step back into the porch beam. "I am sorry Mira you are right I should have talked to you." He said before closing the gap between them.
Mkra was watching him wearily now. Just what was he planning? He gently took her face in his hands and crashed his lips onto hers.
Mira's eyes widened at the contact. She quickly broke the kiss and tries to get away from him but he was much faster and had dragged her to the ground before straddling her kissing her more roughly.
Mira tried to fight him but his one arm had pinned her wrists above her head while his other hand slipped under her shirt and fondled her breast roughly.
Mira was scared. She tried to scream but Brendan quickly covered her mouth with his muffling her screams.
It was then a loud screech was heard before something flew down and ripped Brendan away from her. When Mira sat up she saw the mothman standing there with his foot resting on Brendan's back.
She watched it reach down and grab Brendan by the hair making him rise up to his knees before screeching at him again.
Brendan was crying "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." He sobbed before the creature let him go. Mira watched Brendan scrambled to his feet before running to his car and leaving the property quickly.
She watched the creature look at her before coming closer. She didn't dare move. Mira knew the mothman was faster than she was and would have no problem catching her.
She could feel its breath on her as it stared her down with those big red eyes. Mira was frozen she couldn't move and she couldn't look away.
She then heard another loud screech this one different from the Mothman's. She watched it look away from her before it took flight and flew off.
Mira tried to call herself. Her heart was beating rapidly. The mothman just saved her from being raped.
She slowly moved to the front door and walked inside locking the door behind her. Knowing no one would believe her she looked through her parents security cam and found all of her proof.
She transferred it to her computer before sitting in the recliner and passing out.
