Just Don't Let Me Go

Myranda likes fluffy animals, especially canines, why else would she have a dog, but Loki wasn't the cause of her worries on this fine morning, in fact Loki was slumbering with Maple, the Husky, as for Myranda, she was enjoying being in the form of a fox as she let Lloyd pet her, she was in a peaceful slumber.  When she had reverted back to her original form, Lloyd knew something was wrong because this wasn't her doing, the powers did it on its own, this was the last memory Myranda had as she awoke in a hospital room, Lloyd asleep on the nearby chair, looking obviously distraught, tired and worried, very rarely had Myranda seen her boyfriend in such a state in his sleep.

 

Myranda noticed that he had cried earlier, before the doctor could check on her, she had tried to awaken Lloyd.

 

"Psst, Lloyd!  Lloyd, wake up, idiot!" Myranda told him, but to no avail so she did the very thing she wasn't necessarily supposed to do, produce a Patronus, but due to her weakened state, it only produced bright lilac light, this attempt worked.

 

"Don't do that!" Lloyd panicked.

 

Myranda shrugged and stopped using my powers.

 

"Why?" Lloyd whispered quietly, yet Myranda heard him.

 

"You want the long version or the short version?" Myranda asked him.

 

"Lloyd, there's a thing that you need to know, I don't care about my body weight, I did this to teach my brother a lesson, I wanted to scare him, Sensei was in on it, he didn't like the concept, but not all lessons are about fighting, now are they?" Myranda told Lloyd.

 

"You almost killed yourself in order to teach your brother a lesson!?" Lloyd asked, unbelieving.

 

"Remember, he told me I was fat in front of all of you, I did what any girl would've done, stop eating, but I did it to scare him, I wanted to scare him enough so he wouldn't say that to another." Myranda explained.

 

"By the way you talk about it, it sounds like he told you that more than once." Lloyd stated.

 

"Because he did." Myranda shrugged.

 

Lloyd had awoken with a jolt, another one of those dreams/flashbacks, something told him that this wasn't normal, perhaps someone escaped the departed realm or something, but he couldn't help, but check, just in case.

 

Myranda had passed, due to being stabbed during a mission about a year ago, it's rather unfortunate that their children had to live without their mother, at least Lloyd had the ninja and his sister, Gabriella, to help him out with Lyra, Evey and Harry.

 

Yes, she may have purposely starved herself to scare her brother, but that's not what killed her because she gained strength rather quickly and the doctor said she ate all the food they gave her with glee.

 

After her death, her beloved woofer lost his will to live as he too succumbed to death trying to protect Myranda's limp body during the same mission Myranda died in, Loki even attempted to get her back, she only pat him weakly before her hand fell, lifeless, at least Myranda and Loki are reunited in the departed realm, but are they really?  

 

Both haven't moved on and when Lloyd had opened the departed realm to check if Myranda and Loki had escaped, Myranda was in a full fledged conversation with Sensei Garmadon, however once she sensed the gateway between the departed realm and Ninjago was opened, she and Loki wasted no time to escape as she hugged Lloyd tightly, Loki trying to climb onto Lloyd, barking in glee, tail wagging and all.

 

"Shush, everyone's asleep." Lloyd ushered.

 

"I've missed you." Myranda whispered.

 

Lloyd sighed, the portal between the realms had already closed and the master of Animals and her dog weren't ready to leave Ninjago again.

 

Myranda and Lloyd stayed in each other's embrace, just taking in the moment and not letting each other go.
