Part 5: Im sorry. I should of told you.

Miracle stared at me in disbelief. I showed my teeth, breaking eye contact with her. Shadow laughed. "You can try." He sneered. Miracle layed helplessly on the ground, her gash was opened, and her left ear was torn a little on the tip. Blood ran down her face and side, and her breathing was slow but steady. I snarled viciously, circling shadow, him doing the same. Then he lunged at me, his wings out so he can glide tword me. I was standing there, ready for the blow. When on instinct, I dogged at the last minioute. Shadow rolled on the ground, then quickly got up again, shaking his head violently and snarling. "Is that all you got?!" He snarled. I showed my teeth and shot out my claws. "So you think!" I growled in my throat. I ran without flying, then at the last moment, I shot up into the air, then dive bombed and shot out my claws, and nocked shadow over, burieng my claws and fangs into his scales. He yelped in pain then pushed me of, me and him wrestling on the ground in a fury of claws and fangs. His claws raked my cheek and I tried t hold in the whine burning in my throat. Finaly, i threw him on a tree. He groaned and got up, his bloody hide dripping. I had a deep gash across my left eye ad cheek, and a few deep cuts all over my body. "This isn't over." Shadow sneered and flew of into the air. I turned my head to face miracle laying on the ground. "Thank you, Exalibur." She smiled. I licked her cheek and looked at her open gash. "Your welcome. Are you ok?" I tried to blink the blood out of my eye that was making my vision blurry. "I'm fine. It's you I'm worried about." She groaned trying to get up. I helped her and we both stood. "Lets find shelter. We can tend to our wounds there." I put my wings out and took of.

While I was flying, I couldn't help thinking of my new enemy. He is going to come back, that is certain. I shook my head violently. "Are you ok?" Miracle grumbled. "I'm fine. It's just- gah.." I sighed... Only it isn't. My mission is to protect miracle. And I will fight to the death to keep her safe.
