Chapter 16- The Knight and the Rose
Reminder – / means thought in head\\ and ' means speaking to oneself'
For the first time Sakura opened her eyes to sunlight and could hear the birds chirping, she'd been held as a slave for so long she had never known waking up and knowing a true almost inner peace. She slowly sat up and looked around and then thoughts of the night before came rushing back, the dance, Syaoran saying he was sorry and then…she felt her face grow red from the memory. A sudden knock at the door had her out of her dazed thoughts and clearing her throat.
"Who is it?"
"It's me Fire, can I come in?"
"Oh Firey yes come on in" Fire slowly opened the door and looked in.
"Ah very good, you're up, so how was your rest?"
"Very restful actually yours?"
"Ah well it's kind of hard to be restful when you've got to share a room with…them" Sakura giggled.
"Is everyone else up yet?"
"Almost I've gotten most of the Elements up, the best thing about being me is I get to tell people who they have to wake up, for instance I just made Shannon go wake up Quatre, and Sara has to wake up Van, I also found Caleb and he should be waking up—BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!— Ah Heather2 is awake, well I'll let you get ready we have to head out soon" Fire left and closed the door slowly and smiled /ah my little wolf, you've found her\\
Sara shook her head as she left the crying Shannon and the giggling Heather2, she needed a walk but of course before she was able to sneak away Jack found her.
"Oh Sara, I have a job for you" Sara rolled her eyes as she turned to face Jack.
"What is it now?"
"Well you've got two options you can go and wake up the guards or Van, keep in mind that most of the guards drank" Sara glared at her.
"Well I guess I'll just have to wake up Van wont I" Sara stared in the direction of the inn as Jack smiled and walked away.
/Who does she think she is, making me go and do this\\ As Sara walked towards the door where Van slept, she couldn't help but think about how cute he looked while he slept. She stood in front of the door and took a deep breath and slowly raised her hand and knocked. Nothing. Not a sound.
/Damn, shit, fuck, crap\\ Every possible vile work she could think of came to her thoughts as she turned the handle and looked inside she crept in and then quietly shut the door behind her. She heard him make a sigh like noise and then rolled over onto his back. She stopped breathing and froze in place, when he didn't move for five minutes she slowly walked over to his bed and looked down to see Van, peacefully asleep. Sara suddenly didn't want to wake him she just wanted to stare at him and yet at the same time she wanted him to open his eyes, look at her and then kiss her softly, passionately, but she knew it couldn't happen because she was Earth unable to touch anyone without causing them pain. The sudden thought being unable to be touched by Van brought tears to her eyes and before she could stop they slipped down her cheeks and softly fell on the bed, she stumbled and fell to sit on a chair behind her.
The sadness she was feeling came rushing at her so fast and hard she couldn't stop herself when a small cry escaped her.
"Sara?" Sara looked up slowly over to see Van staring at her with a look of confusion and worry.
"Oh, um, sorry if I disturbed you I was, um…Jack sent me to get you up we, we're leaving soon…I, I should go" Sara turned for the door and as she left she heard Van yell out for her 'Sara…Wait!" But she was already running down the hall and away from the inn, she didn't know where but she didn't care she just knew she had to run.
Van didn't know what was going on, he was dreaming of a beautiful woman in green, with shoulder length hair the color of urban brown, with the most amazing eyes he'd ever seen. Then when he woke up it was too that same women only she wasn't smiling and laughing and kissing him, she was crying, in his room and he had no idea what for. Now no one knew where she was not even Fire, the one with the sight. It seems Sara somehow was able to block everyone out and now was missing.
"We have to keep moving the Elements haven't even done their quests yet, we can't wait for her, hopefully she'll find us on our way" Syaoran announced to everyone in the camp as they packed and when he was done Van walked over to him nodded and then was gone. Sakura walked over to Syaoran and stood beside him.
"Where's Van going?"
"To find Sara, he knows where were going and he'd going to meet us there in 2 days, even if he hasn't found her" Sakura was shocked to hear Syaoran say that but she nodded.
"Fiery, have you found anything yet?"
"No, nothing, somehow she managed to block herself from us, must be a power she hasn't fully learned something must have set it off"
"Ok, well lets go we're on our way to Falea city" everyone walked slowly as they marched from the inn.
Sara had no idea where she was but she didn't care, she was alone finally she was able to think a little more clearly now.
/Ok, I know I feelings for him, but what kind? I don't know if I love him of if I feel this way because I can actually touch him and he doesn't get hurt. I donno what to do, god dammit I can't stop crying, I don't wanna feel any of this I don't want these feelings, I don't want them\\
"I don't wanna feel this way, do you hear me, I DON'T WANNA FEEL LIKE THIS!" Sara screamed and then punched the ground in anger, frustration, and desperation.
"Why, why do I have to be cursed with this, I just wanna feel love from someone, I wanna know what it's like to hold hands with that one special someone, damn, damn, damn!" Sara rolled onto her side and cried, all the while holding herself tight wishing everything would just end. Suddenly bandits appeared out of no where and attacked her.
"Well, well aren't you a pretty little thing, I think that boss will be very pleased to have you for company tonight" Sara didn't care anymore she let them take her captive and when she was placed on a horse she didn't struggle//Nothing to struggle for anymore.\\ They quietly went back to their camp not aware of someone following them.
Earthy2: Ya I know, lots about Sara, almost done this part about her, then I'll be doing more stuff with the other characters. I'll be showing the love interest, also their might be a new character soon who knows anyways that's all for now I should have the next chapter sometime next week not sure though well enjoy this chapter.
