Flashback :
Yelan caught up with the doctor before he got down the stairs. "Do you think she was born mute or do you think she just refuses to talk?" The doctor thought for a while and said "The latter most likely" with that last sentence he left, leaving Yelan to ponder on what he said.

*in the room*
Syaoran smiled at Sakura and sat beside her. Sakura was looking down. He was about to ask what was wrong when she spoke."S-Syaoran?" Syaoran was shocked, she had a sweet voice but because of lack of use it was a little hoarse.
Sakura just smiled at the dumbstruck Syaoran before continuing "I'm s-sorry ab-bout not speaking b-before, but it's because o-of a p-personal r-reason. P-please keep it a s-secret". Syaoran smiled softly at the blushing Sakura "Of course, but when we're alone I want you to speak out loud so you can get used to speaking again". Sakura nodded in agreement.

Yelan entered the room quietly. As she crept towards the bed she noticed how quiet it was. When she reached the bed she found Syaoran and Sakura gone.
She searched around the room trying to find out where they went. She approached the window and looked down into the garden. There she saw Syaoran and Sakura walking/limping along the stone path
_.
Sakura giggled as she looked around in awe. The garden was huge! It had about 3 fountains, flower patches all around, and in the center stood a large Sakura tree.
Syaoran took her hand and led her to the other side of the tree. On the other side, held by a strong branch, was a swing. Syaoran helped Sakura on and started pushing. Sakura laughed merrily as she felt the wind blowing her face. She felt like a kid again. Syaoran chuckled at her childishness.
After swinging to her hearts delight, Syaoran toured Sakura around the house. Sakura thought the garden was he, but after seeing the rest of the house the garden looked so small. The house was big enough for 50 people, or at least that's what Sakura thought.
As the sky grew darker Syaoran brought Sakura to the dining hall to eat dinner. Sakura and Syaoran were silently eating dinner when a girl, about their age, entered the room. She had ebony-black hair and ruby-red eyes (AN: It's so obvious who it is). She squealed as she ran to Syaoran and gave him a bear hug.
Sakura giggled as she watched Syaoran try to pry the girl off him. The girl was laughing until she saw Sakura. The girl went closer and eyed her with curiosity, Sakura blushed under her gaze.
Syaoran cleared his throat and introduced her "This is Meiling, my cousin. Meiling this is Sakura, the girl I was telling you about." Sakura smiled. Meiling ran to her and started asking loads of questions. She would have filled a book until Syaoran covered her mouth and handed Sakura some paper and a pencil. Meiling tilted her head in confusion as Sakura wrote on the paper Nice to meet you. Syaoran answered Meiling's unsaid question "She doesn't speak"
After that Meiling and Sakura kept talking, well writing in Sakura's case. By the time they finished it was almost 9:00. Sakura excused herself and left to go to her room. Syaoran followed making sure she wouldn't het lost, while Meiling left to talk to Yelan.
Syaoran showed Sakura her closet, which already had outfits inside. He left the room to give her some privacy.
Sakura's POV
It was nice to know Yelan was a kind person. Heck, she gave me a whole closet of clothes, but I missed the clothes my best friend made me.
I decided to wear the long pink nightgown. I went into the bathroom and turned the heater on the highest setting. For me when the hot water hits your skin it's relaxing and lets you forget your problems for a while. I managed to finish my shower in 10 min which was fast for me since I usually took 30 min.
I sat on the bed and stared at the scenery outside the window. As much as I wanted to leave and not be a burden for this family, I couldn't. I had to find a way to repay them for their kindness 'Maybe they would accept me as a maid'. I almost fell out of the bed when I heard a knock on the door.
I opened it finding Syaoran already in his PJs. I smiled as I let him inside. He stayed for a while and we talked/wrote. He explained that if I needed anything his room was next to mine. My answer was replaced by a yawn. He said goodnight and left the room. I tucked myself in and fell asleep. Instead of the usual nightmare I had a new one.
I was seated in the same room, but instead of Okaa-san and Onii-chan it was my best friend, Tomoyo. I thought they would kill her like they did to Okaa-san and Onii-chan, but they didn't. Instead Tomoyo looked at me in the face, her eyes were puffy from crying. It took me a while to notice she was telling me something "Why did you leave me. I thought you were my friend" I longed to hug her and tell her I was sorry, but before I could act one of the men slit her throat. Just like Okaa-san and Onii-chan my best friend died at the hands of those men.
I jolted awake finding myself inside the bedroom. I could feel the sweat on my forehead and the tears threatening to fall. I looked at my hands and found them trembling.
I hugged my knees as I sobbed quietly. I could feel all my emotions pouring out. By the time I was finished I was still hiccupping and my body was still trembling. I closed my eyes hoping to have a nightmare free night.
