1. The Prologue

Before we begin, I would like to say a few words, hmmmm, (1) I do not own CLAMP's wonderful characters or Cardcaptor Sakura, and the rest of it is mine. (2) I would like to introduce my first fan fiction...The Promise of Forever, the Prologue...

Prologue

The mysterious night storm continues on its heavy downpour, as the thrashing trees lining the street creek from the strain of the ongoing wind. The sky is dark as the thunderclouds obscure the stars and not a single living thing is seen on the silent avenue. Suddenly, the fierce wind that was howling down the lane changes direction and is forced in the relative path of a particular house in the middle of this avenue. The rain is now blown fiercely at this house and it lashes at the windowpanes, all of it's shutters flailing wildly in the wind. A harsh banging is heard each time the edge of a shutter connects to the outside wall. The thunder booms and lightning flashes illuminating a small, struggling form in a little upstairs room of the house. On closer inspection the sleeping girl is seen tossing and turning in her bed, and as the lightning flashes again, it illuminates her tightened eyelids and rapid breathing. Suddenly she becomes still and her rapid breathing stops. Time seems to freeze, and silence settles in the room. But only for a breath does the silence reign, as it is pierced by a scream from the girl. "...Nnnnoooooo...y-you-c-can't...take –him!!!"

The girl hastily sits up, her arms behind her set tight to hold her up in the sitting position. Her chest rises up and down with the force of her ragged breathing. Her face displays her many emotions, of them surprise, pain, and sadness. But, as she stares at the opposite wall, the clearest emotion sketched across her pale face is also reflected in her wide, emerald green eyes...Fear. As she continues to look at the wall, one can see her eyes slowly fill with tears. With the intensity of the pain and sadness bit-by-bit taking over her, she , bringing her knees up to her chest and buries her face in her arms, sobbing.
