Artist at Heart: Art Tower.
Hey readers. Hope you have been enjoying the story. with this chapter done, there's only two more to go. It's been a fun ride to write this story.
Fighting their hardest, everyone was finally down.
Syaoran breathed heavy.
"Where is she?"Syaoan heard the woman speak. "Sakura? She's safe." He told her.
"Good. We need to keep her away. If they find her we are all in trouble." She said. "I am Katniss." She smiled to him.
Syaoran saw a light in this one. She felt trustworthy. "Syaoran Li. What is this about Sakura?" He asked.
"Being a blood relation to Clow Reed." The older man shouted.
Syaoran froze. Clow Reed?! "She's...what now? A magic user?" He asked.
"Supposed to be. Your cousin Meiling told us who she is."
"Meiling?!" He was getting mad now. How could she get ou of here and into this mess?
Inside...
"Ma'am. They have all the other children down. Should we send in more from our fresh batch or-"
"Send in the bots. Give them a good test run for target practice. It's why we built them right? To keep loose cannons from going off the rule book. I want her head. And I want him alive."
"Syaoran?"
"Yes. He's a Li." The woman said. "He's got a connection to THE man. And he can help us find his cousin and the girl." She left the room.
"We better get going. Or else she'll report to the head."
"I think that's what she's doing. I mean her father turned coward. And all because of the Mocking bird and her lover." Said another employee.
Back with the others...
"What do you mean Sakura is a blood relation?" Syaoran asked.
"It means, son, that this little girl has some powerful magic."
"Excuse Haymitch. He's been locked up for a long while now. And that's Gale." Katniss pointed out.
"Alright. But that can't be. Clow Reed never had children. He had family and followers. And I'm a part of that family. Meiling too. But Clow Reed NEVER, had his own children." Syaoran said.
"Then how is she known as the protege? He has to be related to her." Haymitch said.
"We don't know. But somehow if they've figured out who she is, then they'll be after her. With or without magic." Katniss said.
"I still can't believe magic is a real thing. Where was that when the Hunger Games was on?" He asked.
"In hiding. And in other parts of the world." Syaoran snapped.
"That's right." Said a voice.
All four turned to see a face. "My lady isn't happy with you. You keep ruining her plans. Syaoran Li. And you, you've already ruin so many lives. You, Haymitch, and your husband."
Katniss had an arrow on her bow ready to fire.
"Don't do it." Gale said.
"I don't know you. But you are really annoying and shouldn't be here."
"What do you mean about hiding?" Gale asked.
"Because, with how powerful Snow was, he said those with magic were not allowed to live in his city or in any of the districts. It was a deal. And a few that were born of magic users, got a chance to work for him. Like a few of the game makers."
Katniss put her bow down.
"Yes. And since you were talking about the girl, Sakura Kinomoto. We looked her up. Her father was one of the game makers for a time. But he tested them. Not to watch. He faked his death. To hide his son and wife. But not before she gave birth to a daughter. The secret of Clow Reed. He split himself."
Syaoran was shocked. How could he do that?"
"Mr. Kinomoto didn't have his magic, and neither did his son, but his daughter, she had so much magic powers, it overwhelmed our magic detectors. And believe me, I was one of them."
"Sakura." Katniss wasn't going to let anything happen to her. But then...Peeta and her daughter.
"Now, where is she?"
No one would answer.
"Stop!" Shouted a voice.
Turning around, Syaoran, Katniss, Gale, and Haymitch saw her.
"Sakura?!"
