"SAL": Hi Hi!! What's up! I got a new idea so I'm just gonna write it out.

Pain: ~Stare's at "SAL" hard~

"SAL": Well that one idea, yea. You still got that scar?

Pain: ~nodnod~

"SAL": ~smile~ Well you learned you lesson, didn't you?

Pain: ~nodnod~

"SAL": Cringe and Max still out?

Pain: ~nodnod~

"SAL": Good. Go help them…

Pain: ~Runs away quickly~

"SAL": ~Shakes head~ Sometimes they can be way too much…but you gotta love them…anyway…

Before I start, I wana give a shout out to my S.S. teacher for teaching me about this point in history. Though I am making up my own part of it. And thank you to Liz-chan. You're the one who said this were a good idea.

*Note: I am making up this own point in time. Just because the numbers are a point in time, I have created the city and names of all people who are in it. The parts of the country are not going to be accurate but I will get it as close as I can. I made up my own history, but part is true.

**Note: Pardon my rashness. Pardon my mouth and my punctuality.

***Note: I might skip and put together time a little. This is sorta an AU but in the same respects it is out world.

Disclaimer: I do not own Cardcaptor Sakura. I do own my town and it people, my ship and my plot.

New World, New Life

Chapter 1: A life in the New World

~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~

I was shaking. No…I wasn't cold…

They all looked at me like I was a caged animal. Some spook behind paper's and colorful fan's.

What do you want form me?

The door opened and 2 men came at me, picking me up on my wobbly legs. I knew my eye's were wide and I was pale…but I was 7 for god's sake.

They placed me on a piece of wood, infront of all these people. They all stared at me like the last piece of food.

"Ow, numer orty nine. A male ong ad, but tlong. Es art on ough…o et a edin art at one huind olars."

…Watt…this is a totally different language. So I am in another country…o no…

"One huind!"

What?

"Two huind!"

…wate a seck…

"Three huind!

"Three ift!"

No! Wate a minui-

"Nine huind!"

The crowed stared at this lady in the back. Her hair was a light blonde and she wore a blue dress that had puffy white frilly things coming out the front. She had a smile on her face and a fan in her hand.

All was quiet.

What just happened?

"Oing once!"

what…

"Oing twice!"

NO!!! NO watt!!! I don't wana be-

"SOLD!!!"

****{7 Years Later. About 1850, Gafield; North Carolina}****

"Run!"

"I can't run anymore!!"

"Too bad! Run!"

"O god!! They're still there!"

"Just run!!!"

"Through there!?!"

"They won't find us there! We'll go back later!! Now run!!"

"They're gone!"

"Don't stop yet! They might still be running after us!"

"Stop! LI!"

I skidded to a stop a few feet before the small river. My breath came in slight gasps as I wiped the sweat off my forehead. creating more dirt smudges. I turned and stared at my follower.

The boy's sand blond hair was ruffled and sat around his ears. Blue dress pants had some dirt smudges, as did his ruffle collar. He had lost his pressed jacket back on the planes before we started. He was bowed slightly, hand's on knee's and panting visibly.

"Jeff. Dam man, you really can run if you wana." I stated to the boy. He lifted his sparkling blue eye's towards me and smiled slightly.

"Pretty fast for a uppey, ach?" He smiled. I shook my head and turned toward the small river again. I cupped my duty hands and scooped some water, drinking it quickly. Doing that again, I splashed my face and wiped it on my dirt smudged shirt.

"I've seen better…" I said, looking to my right where he did the same. He laughed a little and looked at me again.

"Where? You haven't even been off the land." He stated, smiling. I just stared at him with a straight face but telling him with my eyes. His jaw dropped and he shook his head.

"That is so not fair."

I laughed out loud.

This is my daily routine now. I have been here for as long as I could remember…that's about 8 years now. I know a language and a half, which is more than most people on the land. Well, I wasn't a slave anymore… and indentured servant, but not a slave.

My blond haired friend here is Jeffery Clayton. I've grown up with him over the years. His mother, Miss Carla Clayton bought me as a slave when I was younger, but quickly changed that name. She knew how idiotic those people back in…wherever they were. She saved me, she did…what and angel.

How I got here? Well…that's something you'll find out later. And so, my story will start. Welcome to my new world…the world I have only known…

~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~!~

****{ Present. 1850. New York Harbor, Manhattan}****

Wow.

This place is amazing.

"Amazing, isn't it?" A gentle voice spoke. I smiled and looked towards the left to face a tall, skinny man dressed in black slacks and a white dress shirt. His jacket was slung over his shoulder and his hair seemed blue in the sun. Gold-framed glasses covered his midnight blue eye's as well.

"I have never seen anything like this in my life!" I shouted, skipping off the rap and onto the dock. "There was nothing like this in Japan!" I smiled, spinning around, letting my red dress spin out form me.

"True. England has this elegance…but seeing the old colonies is something different all together." The tall boy said, walking soon after me. He stopped and took a deep breath, seeming happy to be on solid land again. I put my finger to my chin and stared at the boy.

"You name was…what again?" I asked smiling slightly, blushing a little. The boy laughed softly and smiled, extending a hand toward me.

"My name is Eriol Hiiragizawa. I am from England and will be staying here for quite some time." He smiled. I laughed a little and grabbed his hand.

"My name is Kinomoto Sakura. I am from Japan. My father thinks business will be better in this country so I think I am staying for a long time also." I smiled widely at him., his blue eye's lit up somewhat.

"Where are you going?" He asked politely. I thought for a minuet.

"Well father did say something about going south so…" I stared at him again. Her really had kind eye's.

"I too, believe that I am going south." He stated, griping my hand tightly. I did the same.

"And," He added, still smiling. "I believe we will become very good friend." I laughed a little.

"Me too." I stated, squeezing his hand slightly.

"Me too…"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

****{Present. 1850. Kelwork Manor, North Carolina}****

"Stupid bitch!"

A back hand.

"Little fucking know it all!!"

A crack of a whip.

"Silly little bitch!"

A kick in the rib's.

"You deserve this! Dam you!"

A punch in the face.

I was sent flying against the shack wall, it shaking in a warning. My lip bled as I felt my eye swell shut. Blood was dripping down my back as other cut's reopened. I cast a glance at my master with a soft violet eye.

Peter Kelwork's face was red with anger. His tossed black hair was pasted on his fore head and his eyes were shining with a dark blue. A thick leather whip lay in his hand, dripping crimson while his other hand was red and clenched. He stared hard at my fragile body which I had curled to prevent further beating.

"Now, now Peter!" Shouted an old female voice as a short, wrinkly black woman with white hair falling from a wrap around her head came from the shadow's. She took the whip form the tall man's hand. "We gonna have no more of that!" She said as the white man glared at her and turned, stomping out of the hut. The elder woman came next to me and sat, taking my face in her hands.

"You all right there, Da?" She asked sweetly as she stroked the trickle of blood off my face. I shook my head 'yes' as she padded a slight bruise on my left check.

"Shouldn't be trying that any time again, Da. He there might kill you, he will." She stated in a quiet voice while placing a piece of cloth on my breast, adding force to stop the bleeding. "That there gonna leave a mark." She smiled.

I nodded once again, looking out the small window into the cotton meadow.

"That there the 8th time you tried to get away this month…" Her soothing voice cooed. I sighed and leaned back against the old woman, lettings my head rest on her soft lap. Her pink lips split in a smile.

"You wana get away as much as I, Da…" She cooed, stroking my short violet hair. I closed my un-swollen eye and lay back, enjoying the last ray's of sunlight hitting me.

"But I'm far too old to get as far as you…"

I nodded slightly.

"You're so sweet, Da. I wish I was as young as you again…"

I nodded, her voice getting farther away.

"…You're blessed with beauty, grace and a strong heart. Do well with them, hun…"

Sweet, sweet sleep was going to take me away form this cursed place. Away from the pain of my every day life and into bliss. To take me away form this dang place and back home with mother and father…if I ever had any…

Sleep sweat angel…for your adventure will start soon…

The voice was light and welcomed. I was taken away form this ranch into my dream's of my love…

Sweet, sweet…dream's…of some place far away…
