*****************************************

Sarah Katie Collyester sat on a bench with her friends Adora Anderson, Belinda Narusegawa and Tammy Makino. She tapped her foot impatiently as she took a quick glance at her watch.

Belinda raised her eyebrows at Sarah Katie. She recognised that look. It was the look Sarah Katie had on her face everytime she was about to fly into a rage. Thinking fast, she said, "Calm down Sarah. Andrews and Ryu will be here soon."

Sarah Katie didn't answer, but that was a good sign because she could have exploded with anger instead. She leaned back on the bench and closed her eyes. It wasn't long before she started to snore softly as she fell into a deep sleep. She hadn't been able to sleep in the last few days because of the dream she'd been having. It was a wierd one at that, and her friends had agreed to meet her that very Saturday morning to discuss the dream.

However, when Sarah Katie fell asleep, she had that dream again. Inside her mind, she saw a young girl of, maybe 15, 16 years old. The girl had short auburn hair and big, beautiful emerald eyes. Inside the dream, Sarah Katie was fighting the girl vigorously. The girl was using some kind of strange magic with cards and her wand, and Sarah Katie was using her own magical sword.

Suddenly, some green vines sprouted from a card and wrapped themselves tightly around Sarah Katie's body and legs. The vines were strong, but not strong enough to hold Sarah Katie down. She leapt forward, unaware of the the vines which were straining her back; they cut into her arms and legs but she drew her sword forward and plunged it into the girl. It was a terrible scene. Blood was splattered everywhere. The beautiful young girl fell to the ground, dead.

Twenty hundred miles away, a girl name Sakura Kinomoto woke up with a start.

"Sakura? Is something wrong?" Kero flew over to Sakura.

Sakura was apparently too shocked to say anything. Her mind was in a tangle.Who was that strange girl she had seen in her dream? She had dark brown shoulder length hair and big pretty eyes, just like her, except that they were brown. Sakura trembled as she clutched her stomach tightly. The dream had been so scary. Whoever would want to kill her? And why?

It took her awhile to realise that Kero was hovering in front of her, looking at her worriedly. "Ah, Kero-chan. I'm fine, really." Sakura lied, "It's nothing, really," she added when she saw Kero looking at her suspiciously, "go back to sleep now..."

Kero didn't say anything, but he could tell from her troubled green eyes that she was lying.

Meanwhile, Sakura's mind was flooded with thoughts. "Who could that person be? What did she want? Was she a new enemy?"

Sakura would have to think about this. She decided that if this strange girl was a new enemy, she had to be prepared, for the girl was liable to be very dangerous.

Author's note ~ So? How did you like it? I tried to make a sort of cliff- hanger here. And you can all keep on guessing what Sarah Katie's true identity is until I've finished writing the next chapter.

I know this is a very very short chapter, but it's just the prolugue and is written to let you get a feel of this story. Anyhow, the next chapter will be much longer.

So... please write in to karana_chan@hotmail.com , and tell me what you think.
