Artist at Heart: Art Tower.
Syaoran was being very gentle as he slightly cut into her wrist.
Sakura wasn't a huge fan of blood, but for this, she had to be brave.
"I've almost got it. Don't worry." Syaoran said.
Sakura took a deep breath. "Why do you want me to take them out? They are your people." Sakura asked.
Syaoran sighed. "Hold still." He whispered.
Sakura swallowed hard. Closing her eyes. But when she did, all she say was Syaoran killing that poor person.
He jumped out the window and killed that person.
"Are you okay?" Syaoran asked looking up at her.
Sakura felt very sick. She vomited and passed out on the floor.
Waking up to a clean room and a bed was almost like she was back at home. But she wasn't when she say Syaoran. At least he wasn't covered in blood.
"I'm sorry about that. But sometimes, you can't help it. You have to kill to survive." He said.
And she knew this. Watching Katniss and Peeta working to be free of those games. Surviving that life, Sakura never wanted to be a part of those games. But guess she was now.
"Got it." Syaoran said.
Sakura opened her eyes and saw the tracker. He put it away in a bowl and quickly sowed her up.
"Thank you." Sakura said.
Syaoran looked up right at her with a smile. "Of course. No one should be playing these games." He said. He turned a little red as he finished cleaning her up.
"I'll make sure they all are safe. Promise." Sakura said.
"I know you will. I'm sorry you got mixed up in this." He said.
"You never answered my question." Sakura said.
Syaoran turned away from her. "Because I need to stay and finish this."
With what she saw, it might be better if she did leave. But she also wanted to help.
"I love these paintings on the walls." Sakura said to draw away from the topic.
"Yeah. All the children loved painting them. It made it all seem peaceful. I'm glad they still could paint on these walls." He said.
"I know. Painting is so peaceful. I love painting. I keep telling myself one day, I'll be selling all my beautiful paintings to make people happy. And to give back a lot of money my brother has spent on me." Sakura said with a little pink on her cheeks.
Syaoran thought how cute she sounded, but didn't dare look at her.
"I wish those days would come back." He said.
"And I know they will."
"How?" He asked her.
"Because I hope for everything. And hope is what get's me through my life. Since my mother died and my father...Well. Hope is what my brother taught me. So, I always hope. I hope to be out of this mess. I hope to me with my family again. I hope for Katniss to find her family. I hope for you and your people to rebuild this place. These towers are SO beautiful." Sakura said.
Syaoran wished he had her hope. "Please. Take them away when you get the opening." He said.
"I will." She said.
Syaoran nodded. "Thank you. You really have, given me hope for my people's future." He said.
Sakura smiled and headed out. She found the children painting on the walls.
And she didn't even see Syaoran slipped past and out the tower. Leaving a note.
Sakura painted and talked with all the children, hearing of some fun games they played and other things.
"Hay. Where is Syaoran at?" Someone asked.
Sakura looked around and noticed he was gone.
"Tell me something about this tower." Sakura said.
"It's called the art tower now. But it used to be called the library of secrets. But only by us kids." One of them said.
"Secrets? As in a secret passage? Lead the way. We need to get a head start. I don't think Syaoran wants you all around for the final fight." Sakura said.
Surprisingly the children agreed and gathered everything and showed her the way.
They left the tower behind in their march to the freedom they seek. Sakura took one last look at everything. Grabbing the note, she left to help the children. But something was telling her to be there. Be there for Syaoran and Katniss. Gale. Would she really be forced to leave behind all her friends to fight?
