The story is ALMOST over, just like, one or two more chapters left. So savor it for now.

(Back to Lisanna)
Blood splattered all over the floor, slightly covering her friends in blood. Her friends all felt a chill run up their spine as they heard a body part fall on the ground. They couldn't bear to look. For all they would see is a head, and even the guessing image for what it would look like was traumatic. A few minutes passed, and still no sound but the sound of breathing. Finally, heavy breathing and coughing was heard, stopping the hearts of everyone around Lisanna. A few people then forced themselves to look, hoping for a miracle. Everybody gasped horribly, shocked to see the scene before them.
"No way.." Levy gasped as she grabbed onto her arm tightly.
"..Mira.." Juvia called, her voice cracking with depression.
"Mira-nee.." Lisanna said as she looked up to see Mira holding up the guillotine with the one arm she had left.
"I..hah..made..it just in time..hah.." Mira smiled, even through the intense pain of the sharp killing device.
"Your arm..it's gone.." Lisanna cried, her lips quivering immensely as she noticed Mira's right arm was missing.
"It's okay..it wasn't..hah..that important anyway..ack." Mira coughed, her blood spilling off her lip.
"Mira-nee! Stop! Let go of the guillotine right now!" Lisanna demanded, seeing that the guillotine was slowly slicing off Mira's left arm.
"Lisanna, I'm fine.." Mira whispered, her voice shaky from the pain. "Now..hah..grab the..gah..knife in my..hah..right pocket.."
Lisanna nodded slowly, and tried as hard as she could to reach to the knife in Mira's pocket. She finally grasped it, and did her hardest to saw at the hard wood. Her hand was shaking as she continued sawing, just the sight of her sister suffering for her sake was absolutely terrifying. Lisanna's heart was beating relentlessly, hoping with all her might that she would make it in time to save her sister's left arm.
"Yes!" Lisanna smiled thankfully after she sawed her head out. She then gazed at her sister who was in obvious peril. "Mira-nee, what about you?"
"I'm fine." Mira reassured and yanked her hand away from the death trap. "See?"
"Thank goodness.." Lisanna cried and rushed to hug her sister. "Sister..why would you do this?"
"..I wanted..to tell..hah..the truth of who..gah..killed Jazzie.." Mira explained, breathing heavily from the blood loss.
"Mira-nee, you do realize what will happen if you do that, right?" Lisanna asked, her eyebrows arching in concern.
"Of course I do, Lisanna." Mira answered and began to get up.
Lisanna got up as well, but to pull back her sister. She didn't want the truth to come out. If it did.. Suddenly, Mira hands rested upon Lisanna's shoulders, and Lisanna looked up to see her sister's face. Her sister smiled through the pain to show her sister everything would be okay. Even though her sister acted like everything was going to be okay..it didn't feel that way..
"Lisanna..just let me do it." Mira pleaded as she rubbed her sister's head reassuringly. "Everyone deserves to know what happened that day."
"..Mira-nee.." Lisanna said softly, tears escaping from her eyes. "Okay.."
"Thank you." Mira smiled and looked to her friends from Fairy Tail.
"Mira! Your arm, is it okay!?" A few people asked with obvious concern.
"I'm fine, I'm fine!" Mira guaranteed, smiling brightly to console their worry. "Now, everyone, I have something to tell you all."
"Excuse me, but you do not have the right to stop this execution, miss." The executioner declared, holding back Mira's shoulder.
"Actually, I do have the right." Mira exclaimed, her eyebrows narrowing intimidatingly.
"How so?" The executioner queried in disbelief.
"If the person getting executed isn't the real murderer, then obviously, they have the right to not be executed on the spot." Mira explained, her eyes unwavering.
"..I do not understand." The executioner stated, his eyebrows cocking on confusion.
"My sister, Lisanna, is not the murderer." Mira admitted, shocking the whole crowd, including the executioner himself.
"Then who is it?" The executioner asked, not exactly believing Mira's claim.
"The real murderer.." Mira started saying, her heart beating nonstop from this sudden truth she was about to tell. "Whom killed Jazzie.."
Everyone leaned forward, curiously waiting for the answer to this questionable mystery. Who would kill Jazzie? And why would he or she kill Jazzie? Everyone wondered anxiously, impatient with the wait.
"..Was me." Mira finished, her eyes filled with sorrow and fear. "I killed Jazzie..I am the murderer."
WAIT, WHAT?! Mira killed Jazzie!? Or is she just lying to protect the real murderer? Find out in the next chapter of, "A Cold Request".
And yes, I know, this was a very short chapter, but keep in mind that I had to reveal Mira as the murderer in this chapter. And I had to keep you guys in as much suspense as I could.
Anyway, I hope you liked this chapter, and that you'll review. (I don't mind critique, because I truly want to know if I could write any better. Thanks. :)
