Chapter 11- Lucky Escape
Best Reviewer:
I'm so glad to answer all your questions and clear your doubts. I should admit that it was very difficult to select the 'Best Reviewer', because each and every review was different and unique. It took me more than two days to select the best reviewer.
Before announcing the 'Best Reviewer' for the chapter 'Jack's Return' I want to thank each and everyone who reviewed. Thanks for extending your support guys, I feel very grateful for your support. Please don't stop reviewing…
xSapphirexRosesxFanx- Thanks for you admiring comment! Keep reviewing!
maleesha- You asked 'What did Jack do? And about the letters?'. In the upcoming chapters you will realize what Jack did, and don't worry about the letters they will read them soon. Keep reviewing!
DragonMaiden- You asked, 'Would the story end after they have defeated jack? or would there be more?' You asked a wonderful question but if I answer for this question, the suspense in the story may disappeare. So, you have to wait and see. Thanks for the review. Keep reviewing!
Smoochynose- You are right they both were embarrassed by the love letters and of course Jack is back. Thanks for the review. Keep reviewing!
jhl89- I liked your review very much. It was simple and adorable. The most important thing about your review is that you noted Syaoran's attitude in that place. It was a wonderful thought. Keep reviewing!
vivx- You asked, 'What kind of creature attacked Eriol and Tomoyo?'. The creature that attacked Eriol and Tomoyo was like a wolf, but it was very much bigger than a normal wolf. Nice review. Keep reviewing!
AngelEmCuti- Thanks for you amazing review! Keep reviewing!
misstruthfully- Actually misstruthfully, Sakura and Syaoran told everything to their friends, so they all know that Sakura was Crystalla in the past. Then Sally's grandmother doesn't know that Sakura was Crystalla. Thanks for the review. Keep reviewing!
Shiori Kazama- Thanks for your enthralling review! Keep reviewing!
butterflyangellover14- In the upcoming chapters they will read the letters and they will read the book soon with someone's help. I won't tell who is that someone. Then you asked 'Was the creature actually Jack?'. You will have to wait and find. Thanks for the review. Keep reviewing!
Finally it's time to announce the 'Best Reviewer' for the previous chapter 'Jack's Return'. And the 'Best Reviewer' is 'jhl89'. As I already told this chapter is completely dedicated to 'jhl89'!

Chapter-11- Lucky Escape
"Hey I forgot something. Eriol and I took this book from Jack's room. We don't know what the book is about and we can't understand the writings in it. May be we should go to Sally's house and ask her grandma about this." Tomoyo said holding the book in her hand. "Ok." Syaoran said and they went to Sally's house. Sally was very much surprised to see them, "Come in!" she welcomed them. Sally served them some fresh juice, "So, do you guys need any help?" she asked. "Yes, we want to talk to grandma." Sakura replied.
After sometime grandma came from her room and joined them, "Is there something I can do for you?" she asked and sat near Sakura. "Yes, we have a lot to ask." Sakura replied. "What's it?" grandma asked. Sakura took a deep breath before starting, "We found a lot of things about Crystalla and Reichard. Yes, we found that Syaoran was Reichard in the past and I'm Crystalla in the past." She stopped. "What are you telling?" grandma was nearly shocked. "Its true and we are in trouble now." Sakura replied.
"What kind of trouble? Explain clearly." Grandma asked. "I'll explain…" Sakura started to explain all the incidents happened to them. "So Crystalla told you that Jack is back?" grandma asked and Sakura nodded, "We don't know what to do next." She said. "Then we found this book in Jack's room." Tomoyo said and handled the book to grandma. Grandma flipped the pages of the book, "I don't have any idea about this book." She said. "Please don't tell like that, you are the only one who can help us." Eriol said. "I'm willing to help you but I can't read the writings in this book." Grandma replied.
Sally grabbed the book from her grandma and saw the writing in the book, "Ancient writings…uhm…" she started to think, "I know." She shouted. "You can understand the writings?" Syaoran asked. "No, but I know how you can deal with these writings in this book." Sally replied. "How?" Meiling asked. Sally smiled, "Simple, you can consult an archeologist. They can tell what the writing say." She suggested.
All their attention turned to Sakura now. "Why are you guys looking at me?" Sakura asked. "Sakura your father is an archeologist, remember?" Jim asked. "Yes. So are we going to tell him about this matter?" Sakura asked. "I'm sure he will be glad to help you in this matter." Syaoran replied and smiled. "I'm afraid to tell him." Sakura said. "Why?" Tomoyo asked. "He will make us to leave this place and we can't solve this mystery forever." Sakura replied. "Then I will go and talk to Mr. Fujitaka about this matter directly." Eriol said.
Sakura looked at all of them for a moment, "What will you do if doesn't agree with you?" she asked. "Leave this matter to me, I'll bring Mr. Fujitaka here and that's a promise." Eriol assured. "Whatever." Sakura said reluctantly. "Who's coming with me to meet her father?" Eriol asked. "I'll come." Tomoyo raised her hand. "Ok." Eriol replied. "Anything you do, don't let my brother know about this, he will come and literally drag me back home." Sakura said. "Don't worry Sakura dear, we will take care of that too." Tomoyo patted her friend gently.
Then they left Sally's house and went home. "Return soon." Meiling said as Eriol started the car. "I'll come back with Mr. Fujitaka. See you guys." Eriol and Tomoyo said and left. It was evening now and Meiling, Jim was watching TV while Sakura and Syaoran were out in the garden. Sakura was patiently watching the sky with a worried look. "Are you worried?" Syaoran asked. "Am I looking happy?" Sakura asked back. Syaoran didn't ask anything after that.
Sakura slowly looked at Syaoran, "Syaoran what are we going to do?" she asked. "No idea." He replied. "I'm very afraid." Sakura told. "Don't worry we can solve this matter. I'll be with you always." Syaoran placed his hand over hers. "Thanks." Sakura replied after sometime. "Its boring lets do something." Syaoran suggested. "Let's do what?" Sakura asked. "Wait." Syaoran said and went inside.
Syaoran came back holding something in his hands. Sakura blushed lightly when she recognized what they were. "Shall we read them?" Syaoran asked showing her the letters in his hand. Sakura didn't reply and Syaoran sat near her. Then he took one letter and was about to read, at that time Sakura grabbed the letter from him. "Let me read first." She said. "Why?" Syaoran asked raising an eyebrow. "Because Crystalla wrote this letter and I'm Crystalla in the past. So I should read it first." She explained.
Syaoran smiled, "Then Crystalla wrote these letters to Reichard. I'm Reichard in the past so I should read it first." He argued and Sakura hid the letter behind her. "Ok, let's read it together." Sakura finally agreed and handle the letter to Syaoran. They opened the letter and Sakura started to read it,
Prince Reichard Scholten I'm not afraid of you. I just came to the garden casually. I don't know that you were there and further it was you who aimed the arrow at me. Actually you tried to kill me and it is a punishable offence. But I wish to forgive you. Please don't write any more letters.
-Crystalla.
Sakura was smiling when she finished reading, "You say this as a love letter?" she asked. "This is not a love letter definitely. But why did she write this?" Syaoran asked. "I don't know. But see the last line 'Please don't write anymore letter'" Sakura pointed to the last line in the letter. "May be Reichard wrote a letter to Crystalla and she should have written a reply for that." Syaoran said. "And that reply must be this." Sakura said waving the letter in her hand. "Then where is the letter Reichard wrote?" Syaoran asked. "It must be in Crystalla's room. We should find her room soon to get more clues." Sakura replied. "Come on lets read the next letter." Syaoran said and took another letter, but Sakura stopped him, "No, we will read the next letter tomorrow. Then don't tell others about us reading these letters." Sakura told him and Syaoran nodded.
At that time the bush in the garden started to rustle. Sakura and Syaoran quickly turned towards it, "What was that?" Sakura asked. Suddenly a strange creature jumped out from the bush –the same creature that attacked Eriol and Tomoyo- and it was ready to attack them. Syaoran quickly place the letters inside his pocket and they started to run toward the door. Syaoran tried to open the door but he could not. "Syaoran quick!" Sakura shouted. "I think the door is locked from inside." Syaoran replied. "Did you lock the door when you came back taking the letters?" Sakura asked. "No I didn't lock it." Syaoran replied trying his best to open the door.
"Jim! Meiling! Open the door!" Sakura shouted and knocked the door hardly. That blood thirsty creature was only five feet away from them and it jumped toward them. Sakura screamed and Syaoran grabbed the shovel which was near the door and hit it straight against its face. The creature fell back; Syaoran went near and hit it again, again and again until it fainted. He gave a final blow and it the creature collapsed with blood spattering around. The blood of the creature was in different color, it was dark purple in color. Then the body of the creature started to give out dark fumes and only the ashes were left now. Then the ashes also slowly disappeared.
Sakura was fully shocked and she was immobile now. Syaoran dropped the shovel and tried to open the door again. This time the door opened easily, "Sakura I told you I didn't lock the door." Syaoran said. "Then who locked it?" Sakura asked. "I don't know. First let's go in before something else comes." Syaoran said and they went in quickly. They found Jim and Meiling sitting in the couch and watching TV.
"Meiling, Jim didn't you here us screaming for help?" Sakura asked. "No." They both replied. "Did you guys lock the front door?" Syaoran asked. "No. We both were here watching TV." Jim replied casually. "Did something happen?" Meiling asked seeing the serious looks on their face. "That creature came back, it attacked us and we tried to get in but the door was locked." Syaoran replied. "Oh my god! Then what did you do?" Meiling asked. "Syaoran hit it with a shovel. It fell down with blood spattering around, then black fumes came and then only the ashes were left. After sometime the ashes also disappeared." Sakura explained with a horror look in her face. "We must be luck to escape and I don't think that the creature is dead…" Syaoran was telling something and Sakura was not in the mood to listen.
Sakura can't move the picture of the creature away from her mind and it was giving her a head ache, "Guys I'm going to take a shower. Let's talk about this later." She said and went upstairs. Sakura opened her room, "Ahhh…." She screamed aloud. Syaoran and other heard her shout. "Come on let's go and see." Syaoran said and they all hurried upstairs.
