"But there is suffering in life, and there are defeats. No one can avoid them. But it's better to lose some of the battles in the struggles for your dreams than to be defeated without ever knowing what you're fighting for." – Paulo Coelho
…...
Sometimes love is not enough. I'll never forget those cruel words that broke my heart forever. It's easy to fall in love, but tell me, how easy is to fall out of love? Never in my darkest dreams thought that my end will be so meaningless.
Those are the words that were always in my mind. They remind me all the time why I am here now, alive. It's rare that someone get a second chance and it's more surprising that I am one of the few people who were offered a second chance and I took it. You would think I took it because I wanted to live but that's wrong. I still remember very well my last moments.
Flashback
My legs are broken. My heart hurts. I'm full of blood and I can feel pain in every inch of my body. Never in my sixteen years of life have I ever been so hurt. With the last power that I had I lifted my head and saw him with her and in the next moment I could feel hot tears falling from my eyes.
"Please don't leave me. I beg you, don't do this to us."
"Us? There is no us. You are no one to me."
"But…we love each other. I love you."
"Sometimes love is not enough and I wish I could say that it hurts me to say this but I'd lie- I never loved you."
The only thing I could do was watch them leaving me to die in the cold and wet forest in the middle of the winter.
End of flashback
But you want to know what hurts the most? I couldn't care less about my injured body, in that moment my heart felt like someone put his hand through my chest and grabbed my beating heart with his cold hand and slowly started to press my heart and where my pure hearth was giving its last beat he tore it from my chest leaving me dead. That is how I felt right then.
I felt betrayed, I felt used, I felt shattered.
But it's completely un utterly my fault. That's what I get for falling in love with the prince of the cold ones. They never die, they never care. To them, us, the humans are just a simple source of food. The only thing I feel good about is that my blood poisoned that bitch when she tried to satisfy her needs using me.
Then I didn't knew why, but know I know why.
Flashback
My head hurt and the rest of my body felt numb. I opened my eyes and a little happy that I could see. But, I was in the forest no more. Now I was in a big white room with golden walls and extremely beautiful flowers. In front of my bed was a little gold tables with its feet shaped like flowers, but they were sparkling and…they were made of diamond. There was a big round mirror with its frame made out of pearls.
I stood out and observed that I was dressed in a beautiful white night gown made of velvet. The gown's sleeves were reaching just my elbow and they were made of lace.
I looked at my bed and saw that it was a big beautiful bed with its covers made out of a pink- almost white- silky material that I assumed it was cashmere. Around the bed were some white see through curtains that made it look like a princess bed. I looked at the ceiling and it was white and there were diamonds on it like some starts and the whole ceiling was sparkling and in the middle of it was a beautiful chandelier in form of a half-moon and a star inside it and they were both made of red diamonds. I turned around and saw that behind me was a big wardrobe. It was a light pink. Everything in this room was beautiful.
Everything was too good to be real. Maybe I died and went in heaven or maybe hell, but if this was hell why would anyone want to go to heaven. But no. I wasn't dead cause my arms hurt too bad to be dead.
I heard a door opening behind me and I turned around to see who it was. In the room entered a petit woman with short black hair and dark brown eyes. She was wearing a light yellow dress that reached her knees and a pair of white flats. She wasn't exactly beautiful but had something special, something that made you love her from the moment you see her. I think it's what they call inner beauty.
She started smiling from the moment she saw me and turned around.
"Tsunade-sama, she's awake!" I heard her screaming.
In the next moment in the room entered a tall woman. She was slim and had long blonde hair and beautiful honey eyes, but what stood up the most was her big chest. She was wearing a pair of black jeans, a grey tank top and green sweater. The first thing here that wasn't so light. But I liked it.
"I'm glad you are awake my dear" said the blond haired woman.
I think the questions – Who are you? And Where am I ? – were all over my face because she continued.
"I am Tsunade and this is Shizune and we were waiting for you for a long time my dear. Come." She said gesturing to the door.
I didn't waist a minute and followed them.
"Why were you waiting for me?" I asked very confused.
"If you wait all the answers to your questions will be revealed."
We walked through long red and white corridors until we reached two silver doors. Shizune and Tsunade stopped at the doors and made me a sign to go in. I went on and entered the room. It was a big white room with red dragons drown on its walls. As I entered the room I saw a big office and an old man standing at it. The wall behind him was made entirely of glass and it was hard not to get lost in the view outside. Where was I ?
"Sit down my dear." The olds man voice distracted me from admiring the view.
"First let me introduce myself. I am Hiruzen Sarutobi. I took care of the House of the Dragons while you were gone."
"Me? Why me?"
"My bad dear. I completely forgot that you don't know anything yet. Let me start with the beginning. Thirty-one years ago you mother gave born to a child, to you. But because she loved you and she wished you a normal life so she sent you to the human world. Your parents died and the House of the Dragons was left without a rules so I took their place since I was your father left hand. Fifteen years ago we found you severely hurt into a forest in the middle of the winter so we took you and bring you back your highness."
"Your what?"
"You my dear Sakura-"
"I'm sorry. Look you've been very kind taking care of me when I was hurt but I think you mistake me with someone else. My name it's not Sakura."
"Oh, but it is. Your name is Haruno Sakura and you are the princess of the seven dragons. An immortal, beautiful and powerful princess. When you will make one hundred years you will take my place and rule this house forever."
"Are you insane? Me? I'm nobody. I'm just a mere human."
"A human huh? Well could a human survive if I did this?" he asked as he stood up and made a fire ball in his hand then quickly threw it at me. In the next second I was on fire. I was like a huge fire, but it didn't hurt me. On the contraire. It felt so good. So refreshing. In fact I never in my life felt so good. But unfortunately the fire was over soon and everything went back to normal.
As I was looking at my skin I saw that there were no sign of burn on it. Then I fell back in the chair.
"Oh my God. You are not insane. But how is this possible?"
"You see, now the cold ones rule the world, every world. Even the humans world. But before the House of the dragons was more powerful than theirs so when you were born we knew that if you stayed here you were in danger so that's why your mother send you to the humans world, because then there was no harm there, so that you could be safe. And it turned out it was true cause in the same night that you left your parents were killed. But now that you are here you must learn how to use the great power that you are given.
Tsunade will take care of it starting tomorrow."
End of flashback
Right now I was standing on water in the middle of the lake where the waterfall was flowing. I closed my eyes and tried to hear him coming. He was really silent. After five seconds I opened my eyes and saw him. He was flying in my direction. A big dark blue dragon. He inhaled and spit fire on me right when he passed above me. But I was ready for it. Before the fire could get to me I raised my hands and made a huge ball of flames then closed my eyes and transformed it in water.
"Sakura" I heard Shizune calling for me and in the next second I was on Sky's back and we were flying back for launch. When we arrived Sky went to his place to eats with the other six dragons and I went to eat with Tsunade, Shizune and Sarutobi-san.
As I sat down at the table all eyes were on me and I was starting to get a little suspicious.
"What's wrong?" I asked looking at them.
"Nothing. Just hungry." Answered Tsunade.
"Oh, come one. I live with you for twenty years. Go and tell nothing's wrong to a stranger."
"Twenty. That much already?"
"I know. I know. Looking eighteen forever usually have the effect to fool people around." I said smiling. "Really now. What's happening?"
"I know it's soon and we wanted to let you know earlier but we thought you wouldn't want to go so we said to them you wouldn't come but they insisted that the princess have to come so…"
"So what? They who?"
"Sakura, you, me and Shizune are leaving tomorrow to the Uchiha castle."
I almost spit my food when I heard that. That sure is a name I , at last, will never forget.
"The Uzumaki boy is having his engagement party at his best friend castle and since your parents and his parents were good friends they insisted you should go."
"Oh, then it's not a problem. Why is everyone so upset?"
"Sakura," started Sarutobi-san as he put down his fork. " You trained very well here and you are now a powerful and intelligent woman so, until you reach 100 so that you can take over me, we thought that you should leave at the castle, make new friends and socialize a little while you still have time."
"What? No. you can't do this to me. I don't want to go there. Are you going to leave me alone there?"
"No sweetie. Me and Tsunade-sama are going to stay there too. What do you say?"
I don't want to see him again. I don't want to see that low woman again. I hate them. I hat him. That's what I think but I can't say it out loud. I swear that if I'll ever see him again I'm going to make him sorry for what he did…. I am going to make him beg. That's it. The perfect occasion.
"It's ok then. I'll ok." I said as I smiled. But this smile wasn't that kind of happy smile, it was that kind that should make you worry cause you know something bad is coming. Revenge.
Some would say that when you are searching for revenge you'd better dig two graves, but my grave was dig a long time ago. And I was lying there for 35 years. It's just that, that was the old me who is long dead. They'd better watch out for the new me.
After we finished eating I went to my room and started packing. Tomorrow we leave first thing in the morning and I want to be the first one that get on the horse.
In the morning I woke up earlier that everyone and I went to say goodbye to my dear friends. As I went to the dragons building I was surprised to see that all of then were already awake.
"Waiting for me, huh, guys? Well it hurts me to say that I'm going to be away for a long period of time but don't worry guys cause I'll come back as soon as I'll finis my business. I'll miss you so much." I said as I was petting Onyx. The others came around me and started to caress my face with their owns and I couldn't help the tear that escaped me.
As I heard noise I assumed that everyone was already up and said my last goodbyes before going for the horses. As I assumed they were already there on their horses.
"Up early, Sakura?"
"Seems like it. Ready to go ?"
"We were waiting for you."
"Here I come." I said as got up on my white horse carefully cause today I chose to wear a light blue skirt that reached my mid thigh and was starting from below my chest, a cream corset that you could only see the top because the rest was under the skirt and a long pink dull jacket that reached below my butt and its sleeves reached my elbow and I chose to wear some cream flats so that I'll be relaxed during the way. It wasn't the best choice for ridding a horse but it was the perfect choice to make a good impression. I had all my hair in a high pony tail so that it length would seem longer.
After Tsunade and Shizune said their farewells too we started to move, finally.
