Prologue
::-----------------------------------------::
She could remember that day like it was yesterday. The memories were forever etched in her mind like a never ending movie that would forever be replayed. The rain was pouring onto the silent streets through her peaceful neighborhood. But it was horribly disrupted with the roaring sounds of many cars stopping onto her driveway. It was odd for their neighborhood to have visitors let alone a large group of them in the middle of the night.
She was young and naive at the time, oblivious to the happenings around her. She was sitting on the soft pink sheets that were covering her bed, her father placed the comforter over her and tucked her in, "Don't worry," he had said in his kind gentle voice, with a soft smile on his face that didn't reach his eyes. She remembered seeing the look of distress on his face, she should've worried, but being the young girl she was placed her entire trust on her father. Her father leaned over ready to give her a kiss on her forehead when a loud banging was heard from outside.
Her father immediately jumped up nervously, 'This is it,' the man had thought sadly.
His soft brown eyes shined in the moonlight, his hair filled with grey due to his old age. He smiled sadly at his daughter and ignored the banging for now. He admired her carefully; she was like a precious jewel from his now deceased wife. Her soft auburn tresses that gleamed in the light and her glowing emerald eyes that shined like jewels.
Quickly giving her one last kiss on the forehead he told her gently, "Don't worry Sakura. And remember don't come out no matter what." He rose from her bedside and quickly hurried out.
There was a loud ruckus as the men came into her small home, but she dared not get off her bed, instead she hid her tiny frame deeper into the covers.
"Pay us now!" a large booming voice towered over the noise.
"I don't have the money, please give me more time," she heard her father plead.
Curiosity came over her and she quickly hurried towards the door which she opened slight to get a glance of the happenings. A large man raised his hand and it soon made contact with her father. She watched as her father fell to the ground, but still he knelled to them, pleading, begging for them to give him more time.
She noticed the man getting ready to hit her father again when she quickly barged out of her room running towards him.
Tears were falling down her soft rosy checks as she went on top of her father covering his frail frame, "Please don't hurt him," she sobbed out.
The man was about to hit Sakura without a care in the world when he was interrupted by a louder voice. "Who are you to hit an innocent child? Take the child and go," the voice said gently but firmly.
The rest of the men quickly pried Sakura out of her father's arms. Sakura tried to struggle, but their grips were too firm and she was no match against them.
"Please don't take my daughter," her father pleaded causing the others to laugh.
The man kicked him to get out of the way and took the young girl into a black car. She was thrown into the car and she looked around fearfully, what was going on, where was she? But instead she felt a soft gentle stroke along her hair.
Looking up curiously she watched as navy blue pools watched her lovingly, "Shh," a soothing voice called out, "It's going to be all right."
Upon hearing those words she felt her heart calm. She never understood what happened at the time, but just hearing those words come out made her feel as though everything was going to be all right.
She was silent for the entire car ride, to where she was unsure. When the car finally came to a stop she felt the man's soft hands take hers and led her outside. Her eyes widened at the amazing sight in front of her. It was a large mansion with yellow bricks and a garden filled with dark blue roses.
"This is going to be your new home from now on," the man said briefly as he continued on his way with a startled Sakura following behind him.
When they entered the house she noticed a boy who looked to be slightly older than her. He had jet black hair and dark blue eyes that reminded her of the night sky so deep and mysterious.
"Eriol," the man said roughly, no longer in that soothing tone.
The boy bowed to his father stiffly.
"This is Sakura, she's going to be living with us until she is of age," he informed his son.
Eriol seemed to understand exactly what his father meant and nodded his head. He took out his small milky white hand out from his pockets offering it towards the young girl. Sakura looked up, her emerald eyes shining because of all the tears, cautiously she took out her own hand and placed it on his. He slowly guided her up the white marble path up the stairs and into her new life.
