Remember

Syaoran stirred. The boy looked at him. This was not meant to happen. Syaoran's eyes flickered, trying to open. Their glazed and glassy look had gone. "Syaoran, sleep," the boy said. "But.." Syaoran protested. The boy grabbed Syaoran's head. "What... Are you doing?" Syaoran asked. "Syaoran, I can't let you wake up yet. This spell is one that will bring to a sleep when I need you to," the boy replied. "Why?" Syaoran asked. The world was swirling around him, darkness absorbing him. "It is not of your concern," the boy replied. The darkness finally consumed Syaoran, and his eyes closed again. He was lifted off the ground by an invisible force. Black and gold light swirled around his soul. It joined into two swirls that attached onto Syaoran's temples. He tried to fight it, but the magic of the boy was strong. He squirmed around, but nothing helped. The dark swirls squeezed him tight, entering him. When all the mist had gone, Syaoran opened his eyes. They had gone from their normal chocolate brown to pitch black. "Syaoran," the boy said. Syaoran fell into the boy's arms, writhing in pain. "It had to be done," said the boy, calming Syaoran. Syaoran whimpered. His soul felt like it was on fire. There was nothing left to explain. The boy... Had complete control.

Syaoran's eyes opened, and he saw Watanuki standing over him, putting a pillow under Syaoran's head. "Thank goodness you're awake!" He said. "What!!" Voices said. Hope and Eleanor came bursting into the room. Eleanor was puffed, and Hope's hair was flying behind her as they both collapsed beside Syaoran's bed. Eleanor hugged him. Thank goodness!" She whispered. Should he tell her? No. She didn't need to know. Hope and Watanuki left the room.

Hope closed the door behind them. "I hope he'll be okay," Hope said. "Of course he will!" Watanuki encouraged. "You didn't see what I saw, Watanuki," Hope said. She walked away from the teenager. Her vision was of Syaoran. His soul had been penetrated by evil, and it was torturing him. Hope knew who the other boy was, and knew his intentions.

Sitting down on a small rock in her secret hiding place. She lowered her head, then looked to the sky just visible through the many trees towering over top of her. "Well, you might just get your wish. Eh? Witch!" She said, as if talking to the sky. As if it was a reply, it started to rain. "Huh. I thought so," Hope said, getting up and brushing the dirt off her trousers. The boy. "Huh?" Hope said, spinning around. That young boy, how much his soul has grown. "Hey! Don't you dare get any ideas!" Hope growled. It's the truth. But my brother's decedent and his wife sealed me away, so I can't do anything even if I wanted to. "Well, that's life," Hope replied.

She started to walk back to Yuuko's. No one else, not even Watanuki, could see the lady beside her. She had long, dark blue hair, black eyes and skin as pale as the moon. She was actually quite beautiful, but evil. Yes, but while I was free, that boy came to me. He had a wish. One that Yuuko wouldn't be able to grant. His soul was not mine, but I could sometimes control it. Hope fiddled with a purple stone around her neck. Hope, you can see his future, are you going to do nothing about it? Again Hope fiddled with the round stone. Oh. You already have. On closer inspection, you could see that the stone was in three sections. Half was purple, quarter was dark blue and the last quarter was crimson. The all blended in with the gold surrounding it. How long have you been able to see into the future? "Nine years now." That's a long time. You must have done this when you're parents were still alive.

"I don't understand you," Hope said. The lady was taken aback by this sudden change of topic. What? "You and the boy. Sometimes you are so nice. Other times. Other times you're beyond evil," Hope said. You consider me evil because of what I've done. No? Hope nodded. "He was just a kid. And you two tortured him as if he was your personal toy. Why?" Hope asked. Tears were welling up in her eyes. She quickly wiped them away. People will do anything to make their wish come true. I thought you knew that? You have done it yourself! "Why can't you leave me alone? You, you, you WITCH!" Hope cried. Laughter rang through her ears. Hope ran as fast as she could to Yuuko's house. The wall came into sight, and as soon as it was in reach, she touched it's hard surface. The lady disappeared, leaving Hope in the beginning rain. "I don't. I don't want to remember!" She said in between gasps for breath. But, remembering was her price to pay.

Well, why did Hope have to pay a price? Who is the lady? Why does the boy need Syaoran to stay asleep? Am I ever going to tell you? Muwahaha! Sayonara!!
