Moonlight spilled across the forest. Pine trees so tall that it prevent sunlight from entering, making the forest look darker than night during the day. Shadow forest was its name, given by the people living nearby. Probably because only moonlight can shine through the trees but not daylight. Some say the forest was magical, dangerous and many dangerous strange creatures lurked there. Parents warn their children not to go there. Nobody dare set foot in the forest at all except...
A boy.
Young Li Syaoran looked around Shadow forest. Amber eyes darted around, searching for anything that might help him. He spotted the familiar fallen log covered by moss he had pass by six times and swallowed,
He really was lost.
His brown hair was filled with twigs and leaves and his legs were tired from walking for hours. Syaoran sat on the log to rest. He regret slipping away from his sisters and mother to this forest, the forest his mother warn him not to go to...
He got up and followed another path hoping it was the right way.
~An hour later~
His white shirt was damp with the sweat, his black shorts was muddy and his legs was on the verge of collapsing but still he walk on determine to find his way out.
But that's when he felt the ground give way underneath him and everything went black.
Nearby the river, a white creature sniffs the air, smelling an unfamiliar scent...
Something human....
It gracefully jumps to the other side of the river and ran, following the scent.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Syaoran woke up, groaning, his body ached all over and he felt a sharp pain in his leg.
[What happen???]
He looked around and that was when, he remembered falling. Slowly Syaoran tried to get up but collapse from the pain in his ankle. He checked his ankle and realizes it was broken.
[Great. Now I can't get out]
Images of his 4 older sisters and mother formed in his mind. Tears prickled the corner of his eyelids. He shook his head, blinking away the tears.
[What am I thinking? I should be trying to find my way out, not sitting here crying like a baby]
He checked his surroundings. The hole wasn't that deep but Syaoran know his broken ankle will prevent him from climbing up. Syaoran glumly look up and his eyes widened...
Above him was a pair of deep beautiful emerald eyes.
Syaoran's jaw dropped as he stares at the creature in wonder. It was beautiful. Fur as white as snow covered its body. Its hooves were light blue in colour and its mane reminded him of the pale gray mist in the early morning. There was a symbol of a star on its forehead. It was shaped like a horse, only it was 10 000 times more beautiful.
It looked young, about the size of a pony. The creature cocked its head and stare at Syaoran. Then suddenly it steps back and close its eyes. Bright light surrounded him and the last thing Syaoran saw was a pair of soulful emerald eyes before he fell into a dreamless sleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The young unicorn carried the little boy on its back, tracking softly through the forest, her hooves barely making a sound. The boy was sleeping soundly on her back.
She didn't know what had came over her but she felt like helping the boy when she saw his intense amber eyes. He was cute. More handsome than cute actually. He had such sharp features for someone so young and his messy chestnut hair suited his eyes perfectly.
She reaches the edge of the forest and tried to sense whether there was anyone near the playground. The playground was the only entrance to Shadow forest; she never really came here before. Her master had warned her about humans, about what they will do when they find her, so she had stayed as far away from that place as possible.
Her senses soon detected nothing so she cautiously walks to the playground and laid the boy gently near the swings. She closed her eyes and put her forehead near his and concentrated, calling magic to her. She felt the familiar surge of magic in her veins and cast it gently to the boy.
[Forget]
The star on her forehead started glowing. A bright light surrounded the boy and it vanished just as fast as it came. She stepped gently away from the boy.
She hopes someone would find him soon. She cast one last look at him before fleeting back to the forest, one last thought entering her mind.
[Be safe]
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Shhh...be quiet," giggled a high-pitched voice.
[What?]
Syaoran's mind felt groggy. The words didn't make any sense to him.
"Stop pinching little brother's cheek it's my turn!" said another voice.
[Where am I?]
"I can't help it, he looks so cute when he's sleeping and wait for your turn," reply another voice.
[Who are they?]
Syaoran felt pressure at both sides of his face and heard 3, maybe 4 girls giggling. He slowly opens his eyelids and blink. His 4 sisters faces came to view.
[Huh?]
"See! You woke him up," said his oldest sister, Mei Fong.
"Oops...I guess we got carried away," replied his second oldest sister, Rei Yin.
(Sigh...) Too bad..." said his fourth sister, Yi Ling.
"...It was fun pinching brother's cheeks," finished Ren Mei, the 3rd sister.
Syaoran lean up from the bed and stared at his sisters in surprise.
"What are you all doing here? Where am I?" said Syaoran.
Rei Yin laugh, "You are in the hospital, silly!"
With that, his other sisters started giggling. Syaoran look around and realize that he was lying down on a hospital bed and he was in one of the rooms. His ankle was bandaged and laid on a pillow that was propped up near the end of the bed.
" To answer your other question, we just got here an hour ago to visit our sweet little brother," Ren Mei replied, grinning.
"We found you in the playground at midnight, fast asleep," Yi Ling told him.
Syaoran remembered slipping away from his sisters and mother, and then sneaking into Shadow forest...but other than that, he didn't remember anything. Syaoran frowned, deep in thought as he tried to remember but his mind felt strangely blank.
Mei Fong who had been quiet all the while said "Mum was really worried, she didn't really say, but every time the phone rings she rushed to get it and every 30 minutes she ask us to check the playground."
Syaoran felt guilty. His other sisters stared at the ground.
[It's bad enough mother lose father and now I wonder off making her worried just to explore Shadow Forest. What a baka I am!]
The door creaked opened softly. Syaoran glanced up, so did he sisters. A tall elegant woman entered. Wearing a long kimono that reached to her feet with beautiful Chinese patterns. Her skin was pale white and her features were beautiful. Long silky black hair cascade down her. Her black eyes stared at Syaoran.
Syaoran stared back at his mother, Yelan Li. Unlike his sisters who had brown hair like him; his mother had black hair. Mei Fong who had long hair past her shoulders and nice light brown eyes. Ren Mei, have short hair until her neck and black eyes. Rei Yin had short hair and brown eyes. Only Syaoran's youngest (but older than him) sister, Yi Ling, look as close as her mother's side, with her black eyes and very dark long brown hair that look almost black. Syaoran and his other three sisters look more like their father with his brown hair and light brown eyes.
His sisters quickly excused themselves with excuses and scurried out of the room but before giving him smiles and winks. Syaoran rolled his eyes.
[They never change.]
The door closed behind them and silence filled the room. Syaoran wish his sisters were still here. His mother sat on a chair nearest to the bedside.
Syaoran couldn't think of anything to say.
Finally his mother asked, "How is your ankle, Syaoran?"
Syaoran answered nervously, "Ummm...It's ok," he stammered
He couldn't stand it anymore, "I'm sorry mother, I was foolish to wonder in the forest that you had warn me many times how dangerous it is for me to wander there." Having said that, Syaoran stared down at the blanket, not wanting to see the expression on his mother's face.
Yelan Li stared down at her son, who look so much like his father and hug him gently.
Syaoran stiffened in shock, but he hugs her back. "I'm sorry," he kept repeating, tears falling down from his face.
"Hush," Yelan whispered and gently pull away. She smiled and said, "You have learnt your lesson, Xiao Lang." A sad wishful look crossed her face as she said softly, "Shadow forest is a dangerous place, and it has many mysteries, but beautiful secrets there. Please don't go there anymore, Xiao Lang. You worried me and your sisters."
Syaoran nodded, brushing away the tears, "I promise, mother."
Yelan give him a small smile, "Rest up, Xiao Lang"
Syaoran grinned, making him look like an innocent child rather than the serious one he is, "I will."
His mother got up from the chair and walked out of the room. Just as Syaoran was about to get some sleep, his sisters barge in.
"So, is she mad?"
"What happened?"
"Are you grounded forever?"
"What did she say?"
Syaoran sweat dropped. This was going take a while.
