Sakura sleepily walked upstairs and opened her room door. She let out a yawn and pushed away the curtains of the window. What she saw outside her window made her to freeze. The girl she saw in the forest and in her dream was standing there. Her long hair was dancing in the cold wind and it coved most of her face………
Sakura quickly closed the window. She was sweating heavily. After five minutes she slowly opened the window again. The girl was not there. Who is she? And what is she expecting from me?... –Sakura thought. Suddenly she heard someone knock her room door. She looked at the clock and it was already 11.40 pm now. She slowly went near the door and opened it, "Ahh…." Sakura shouted as she saw a ghostly figure standing before her. Its face was white and it had big red eyes and it had long ears. And its grey and black hair covered its entire body.
Sakura started to move back, "Help!" she shouted. That deadly creature let out some strange sound and slowly approached her. Sakura's room door shut and she was standing at the corner of the room now. She had no place to move and the creature is approaching her. She started to cry and the creature stated to laugh uncontrollably. Its laughter sounded familiar to her and that could be only one person. "Syaoran." She said and Syaoran removed the mask.
Syaoran was just wearing a costume, "You are really scared." He started to laugh again. Sakura looked at him with anger. She picked some books form the nearby table and started to throw at him. The first book hit his head, "Hey that hurts." He shouted but Sakura didn't stop throwing. "Ouch…" he shouted again. Finally there were no more books left. Then she took the vase from the table and was about to throw it but Syaoran grabbed her hand. "Ok. I'm sorry." Syaoran said but Sakura was not in the mood to listen. "Shut up! Leave me alone! Now!" she shouted. "Sakura…." He started again. "Leave me alone!" she shouted again and Syaoran did.
Sakura shut the door with force after he left. She sat on her bed and placed a hand on her head. "That idiot…" She mourned. After some time she felt tired and fell asleep. Sakura's strange dream began…
She was standing at the middle of some large celebration hall. There were many people around her chatting and laughing. They were wearing mask around their eyes. A lady was approaching her and she passed through her. Sakura realized that she was not visible to them. Sakura looked at all of their costume. They looked very different form the present style of clothing. The entire place was beautifully decorated and looked very majestic.
"Attention everyone…" she heard a voice and turned. A middle aged man was standing in front, "…our king is going to make some announcement…" he said and left the place. Then a man and woman came down the stairs. They were the king and queen. The king cleared his throat, "First of all I thank you all for joining us in this pleasant evening. We are gathered here to celebrate my daughter's 18th birthday………I now kindly ask my daughter Crystalla Freyre to join us." he said.
The crowd was silently waiting to see the princess. Finally the princess came down the stairs. She was wearing a blue garment and matching gloves. The small crown on her head shined and she walked down gracefully. She had long hair which was brown in color. But the mask covered her eyes and Sakura could not see her face clearly because of that. The princess was the girl in Sakura's dream.
The feast started and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Sakura slowly walked towards Crystalla. She was talking to someone. "Crystalla." Sakura called her. Sakura could not here her own voice. "Princess Crystalla." Sakura heard a voice from her back and she turned. It was a handsome young man with black hair and deep ruby eyes. He passed through Sakura and made his way towards Crystalla. Sakura felt like a ghost.
Crystalla didn't seem to mind him and continued talking. "Excuse me Princess." The young man said. This time Crystalla turned to see him. "What do you want Jack Roberts?" she asked with irritation. "You can call me Jack, princess." He replied. "Just tell what do you want." She said. "I was wondering whether you would like to dance with me…" he trailed off. "Dream on Jack. How many times do I have to tell you that I don't like you?" Crystalla said casually and went away.
Jack stood there looking at Crystalla. From his facial expression Sakura understood that he was not happy. "I'll get you one day Crystalla. You are mine…" he mourned and left the place. Sakura stood there confused. Then she tried to find Crystalla. Suddenly the surrounding around Sakura started to change. Now mist surrounded the entire place.
Sakura saw the girl standing at the far end. "I know who you are." Sakura shouted. The girl started to vanish slowly. Sakura started to run towards her shouting, "Crystalla…Crystalla…" and she fell down. "I'll see you soon Sakura…" the girl said and finally vanished………
Sakura opened her eyes and got up. She was sweating heavily. She looked at the time and it was only 4 am now. It was just a dream... – Sakura thought. Sakura went to the bathroom to have a face wash. She came and sat on her bed. The dream disturbed her a lot. She could still remember the feast and the names Crystalla Freyre, Jack Roberts. After that she could not sleep. Sakura tried to concentrate on something else. She took out her canvas board and started to paint. Time slowly passed and it was 6 am now.
Sakura place the board down and went to take a bath. By 7 am she came out and found Syaoran sitting at the living room. She turned to leave, "Sakura." Syaoran called her. Sakura didn't turn. Syaoran came near her, "Hey I'm really sorry about yesterday's incident…" He started but he was interrupted by Eriol who came down saying good morning. "Good morning guys!" Eriol said cheerfully and Sakura smiled. By 7.30 am all of them came down. Syaoran tried to talk to Sakura many times but Sakura avoided him.
By 8.30 am they finished their breakfast and packed their lunch. They took their backpacks and started towards the ruins. Tomoyo took her handy cam and started recording. Now they were at the ruin. "Come on lets go inside today." Eriol urged and others nodded. Sakura nodded reluctantly. Eriol and Jim ran inside followed by Tomoyo and Meiling. Sakura stood there staring at the ruin. Syaoran went near her, "Aren't you going in?" he asked. Sakura didn't even look at him and started to walk inside. "Hey wait." Syaoran shouted and followed her.
Sakura entered the palace. "This must be the main hall." Jim said. Sakura looked around for a moment. She dropped her bag; it was the same place that she saw in her dream. She saw a damaged stairs. Yes that was stairs through which the princess came down. Sakura's head started to pain. She was getting dizzy. She was about to fell but Syaoran came and caught her at the right time……..
