Hi! Okay I'm not sure when the next chapter will be up, but I am trying VERY hard but I've been so busy with college!! Plus I'm trying hard to work on my other stories as well, and well, I hope you enjoy this chapter because I had a blast writing it!! Thank you all for reading this and have a great day!! PEACE OUT!! Please review...thanks!! :)
What had actually happened, and how had I gotten here? I wondered about all these questions and how I would get them answered. But at that point, those questions were not my only concern. My first concern was finding a job, and hopefully a place to live in this world of mystery filled with love and magic.
As I walked down the street, I thought to myself, I'm walking down a path I never thought I would walk on, a path towards Sakura Avalan's life. I could remember the very feeling I had when I looked into her eyes. That very moment I saw her and the innocent soul within those bright green eyes. That soul told me that she would be my strength and that I would be her's. Hmm strange...I never thought I would see this town in person. As those thoughts ended I had noticed that I had stopped in front of a bookstore. I thought to myself, Well I have nothing else better to do, and I might be able to find a job here too. It was like something was drawing me into the store, a force unlike anything I had ever felt before. At the same moment I felt that this force was something or someone I could trust and perhaps someone who could answer all the questions that I had.
About the time the bell rang to signal that I had entered the store, I looked around to see if there was anyone around that I could talk to. Sitting at a table not too far away from me was the one and only Eli Moon. Although I was glad to see him at the same time I didn't know whether I was relieved or nervous. My knees got weak and I could feel myself fall to the floor. I thought Why am I acting like this, he is just Eli, nothing more! My body screamed to move but I could not. He was walking over towards me, but there was something different about him, this I was sure of. Although I didn't know him that well I knew that the grin he wore was not the same as the Eli Moon I knew from watching Cardcaptors. It was more evil and less friendly. It was as though he was possessed by something or someone. Or maybe it was my imagination getting the better of me. As my thoughts about the Eli "look-a-like" ended, I noticed that he was standing right in front of me, looking down at me as though he was superior to me and I was nothing than a bug that he would squish! And that's when the unthinkable happened! In ran the real Eli Moon!
I couldn't believe my eyes, maybe my intuition was stronger here in this world. Running up to the look alike I could have sworn I heard Eli hiss in the fake's face "What are you doing here, you were banished along with your family! You have no right to be here!"
It was as though I was the only one that could hear what the real Eli was saying to his fake counterpart. As I was staring at the two Eli's in front of me, the real Eli turned his head sharply down towards me! My eyes widened, had I said something that I hadn't heard myself say?! My thoughts ran wild, Why is he looking at me like that, ok now I'm really scared, there are two Eli Moons but I know which is the real one...but then why is the other one here?!
The real Eli stared down at me like he was seeing things. He then spoke, "So, your really here, you have come. I was hoping we wouldn't need you but it looks like with him here we have no choice."
I just looked at him, like he was losing his mind, but then again this was Eli Moon, so I decided to just go along with it. "What is happening, why am I here?" I asked him in a hushed tone but then surprisingly, the fake Eli responded to my question!
"I'm surprised you got here in one piece Enforcer, he should have never sent for you women!" The fake Eli said this as he pointed his finger to the real Eli. I just looked at the fake with wide eyes. What the hell is he talking about, I'm so confused right now....huh? My thoughts soon ended as the fake Eli smiled a devilish grin and raised his hand in the air and said "The darkness which binds me, hear my plea and answer me !"
And then suddenly there was a gust of wind and the lights flickered and then he added " I call upon thee to freeze thy time, release thy power! Time Freeze !"
The real Eli looked at me and then the door and without warning grabbed my hand and hauled me to my feet, dragging me out the store and onto the sidewalk. As I was trying to catch my breath, I shouted at him, "What is going on and who the hell is that in there that looks like you!?"
Eli looked across the street as he answered my question. "He is a man from a ancient family that lived in the time of Clow Reed. But that is not important right now, we must get out of here, his magic is stronger than my own and we must get back to the mansion." I looked back at the inside of the store and saw that the fake Eli was staring straight at me!
"Yeah, I'm with you ...lets get out of here! You lead the way!" I cried.
So as we headed out of town and towards Eli's house my thoughts kept on returning back to his twin, What did he want with me and why did he say that Eli shouldn't have brought me here? Wait...he knew where I was from !? Things just keep on getting more confusing as time goes on, what will I do if this guy is as strong as Eli says, I don't even have any magic myself, at least I don't think I do. Before long, I had noticed we had arrived at Eli's house, or should I say mansion! Eli looked at me and smiled, "Come on, Ruby and Spinner are waiting inside."
I then followed him inside to find a worried Ruby and Spinner. Ruby ran up to Eli and asked him something, which I couldn't quite make out, and then he turned towards me and pointed straight at me. Hmmm I wonder why he's pointing to me, or do i really want to know? Ruby then came walking up to where I stood in the doorway, and stood right in front of me.
"So you're the Enforcer...well this is going to be so much fun !!" Ruby said, as she wrapped her arms around my neck and squeezed me tightly.. "Oh we're gonna to have so much fun together! I'll do my best to be like a sister to you, after all your in a world that isn't your own, and well you need some kind of family! We'll do our best to be like a family to you!"
My first thought when she hugged me was Well she sure does like to hug people that's for sure, and a sister? Well this is certainly going to be interesting, she sure acts like the Ruby from the anime, that's for sure!! "Uhh Ruby could you loosen your grip, I can barely breath!" I said as I was trying to breath as she was choking me, though I'm sure she didn't know she was doing it.
"Oh yeah, sorry about that! I just love meeting new people and since Eli said you were going to stay here, I just couldn't keep the excitement in any longer! There is finally going to be another girl around this place!"
Then I noticed that a song was playing on the radio. It was Trace Akins song 'And They Do'. I got all teary eyed and my lips started to quiver a bit. The song reminded me about how it was to go off to college, where I was at when I was pulled into the Cardcaptors world. I quickly found myself getting lost in the lyrics, And they do, and that is how it is, it's just quiet in the morning, and all they, and all they did, you want all their dreams they dream of, to come true, no more Monday pta's, no car pools to soccer games, your work is done!.
Suddenly it dawned on me, Oh my god, how was I ever going to get home to my mother and everybody else! I missed them so much. I thought this would be fun, but right now I'm missing everyone! I fell to my knees and broke down. Tears were just streaming down my face like waterfalls, my body was shaking, I buried my face in my hands. But Ruby must have understood why I was crying because she had stopped jumping up and down in excitement, knelt down on the floor beside me and pulled me into a hug. A sisterly hug.
There on the floor of Eli's house I cried on Ruby's shoulder, my body still shaking and my tears still flowing uncontrollably. "Ohh, how am I ...going to get...back home?" I said through my sobbing. " I don't know what to do, I'm so confused right now."
Eli choose that moment to come up to Ruby as she held me and knelt down to my level and looked at me as I lay in Ruby's arms. "The reason this man is after you is because you are the Enforcer and you possess powers that can defeat him" he said. I lifted my head from Ruby's shoulder and looked him in the eyes as he continued. "You are neither human nor guardian, yet you are both at the same time. You are a half-breed. You are also known as the Enforcer Guardian, that which protects other guardians. You must defeat him, and I know you can do it."
I looked up at Eli who had such a bright smile on his face. "Oh great, something that actually makes sense" I said as I smiled back at him before I passed out in Ruby's arms. I knew that these people would help me and teach me how to fight and defend the others from this man, this monster that wants only to consume other's power's for his own greed.
