When Sora woke up she realized that it was about 5a.m. She was locked in her small room which mistaken as a closet. Then the events of last night begin to flood into her mind. She quickly sat down and scribbled some words on a letter. She waited patiently till someone lightly knocked on her door.
Sora peeped through the hole and saw Izzy. Sora slid the letter under the door and heard Izzy take it and quickly scuttle away. Sora sighed and begin thinking about her life and started sobbing. The sobbing woke up the stepmom.
Laura walked down the hallway and unlocked the door and pulled Sora out and flung her into the wall.
"Shut up. Tomorrow. You will bve sold as a slave in America. Nothing you can do will stop that! So stop crying!" The stepmom smacked her but Sora flinched away.
"I will not!" Sora got up and begun to run to the door. But from around the corner Liz appeared and punched her. Sora fell as blood dripped from her mouth.
"Shut up!" Liz dragged her back into her room. Where she slept quietly for the rest of the night.

As morning rolled along. Izzy near the cafe shop and waited for Mimi to come and set up her stand. Then she appeared and Izzy smiled. He quickly ran over to her and whispered something into her ear and handed over the letter.
Mimi's eyes widened as they read over the words. Mimi broke down crying in front of her stand and Izzy held her close.
"It'll be alright" Izzy hushed.
"No, I can't help her. I can't get their. I'm just a farmers daughter. I'm not that powerful to stop a noblewomen from selling off her servant" Mimi explained.
"But isn't their someone that can?" Izzy asked. Mimi's eyes widened.
"Yes!" Mimi screamed.
"Your making a scene" Izzy told her.
"Izzy, there's only a few dozen people here setting up their stabd! What kind of scene could I possibly make?" Mimi asked.
"Well, anyways do you know anyone who could help?"
"Yes, but it'll take until mid morning"
"Don't worry. You'll have time. I over heard them talking yesterday. They'll take her to the slave auction building that the Mathers run. Be there as fast as you can . I'll try to stall time!" Izzy turned and ran back where he came from and Mimi waited impatiently for Tai and Matt to arrive.
As the morning slowly went by the two men came as Mimi had predicted. She quickly ran over to Tai and shoved the letter in his hand.
"What is this?" Tai asked scratching his head.
"It's a lettter from the girl you love" Mimi tried her best not to cry. Alothough didn't notice the tears welled up in her eyes, this did not escape Matt's attention. He quickly consoled her in his arms.
Tai opened the letter and began to read.
Dear Mimi,
Right now I'm probablybeing sold or getting ready to, I need you to come and buy me. Or escue me. I will not let myself be sold off as a slave. What would my parents think of me if I let myself be sold off into slavery? I can't even believe I let Laura take over the house. Izzy will probably tell you where I'm being sold. And If your too late. Please tell Tai....aishiteru. He'll always be in my heart and part of him will always be with me even if we're an ocean apart.
"Oh my god! Where is she?" Tai asked desperately. The tears were just to painful to keep back. One single tears slid down his cheek as he thought about Sora being sold off.
"She's at the Mathers building" Mimi exclaimed as she began to lead them to the buidling. But just then Izzy appeared and came running.
"Mimi! Mimi!" Izzy yelled as he ran closer to her.
"What is it?" Mimi asked.
"Sora.." Izzy tried to catch his breath. He ran about 2 miles non stop just to reach Mimi. Suddenly the words wouldn't come out. How could you tell someone such a news.
"What is it Izzy?" Mimi practically screamed.
"She's gone. We're too late. She was the first to be sold. I tried everything. I've failed" Izzy sobbed. He turned to Tai who was in pain. His heart broke.
"I've failed you Tai" Izzy said before walking away.
"Wait!" Tai called.
"What?" Izzy said as he turned around.
"Where is she being sent to?" Tai asked almost afraid of what the answer would be.
"America, to work on a plantation"
"No! That's the last straw. I'm not going to wait around for her to leave. I'm going after her!" Tai stole a horse nearby and rode off to the port. Matt and Mimi followed behind on her horse.
****************
As they reached the ports the ships for the America had already set sailed. Tai could only watch the ships travel further and further away. His legs gave away and knneeled down on the gravel and sobbed. Mimi and Matt was at his side in a instant.
"No!!!!!!" Tai heard a very familiar voice break the silence. He looked behind him to see Sora dressed up in rags, with chains tying up her hands and being dragged over to the cage. The man slapped her and Sora fell. When she opeend her eyes again she saw Tai pushing away the man.
Tai quickly helped Sora up and brought her over to Mimi and Matt.
"Sora I thought you were gone! Why are you here?" he asked amazed.
"I didn't want to leave you without saying goodbye and never seeing you again. I escaped from the crowd of slaves in time to miss the last ship but they eventually ound me. They were going to lock me up till tomorrow to send me away" Sora cried into Tai's chest.
"I love you Tai" Sora cried.
"I love you too. With all my heart and I will never let anything hurt you again......let's go home" Tai whispered into her ear. Sora nodded. Tai and Sora rode back. Mimi and Matt stood there in each others arms as they watched their best friends.
"They're so in love" Mimi sighed.
"Yeah," Matt replied looking down at the angel in his arms.
Please R&R!!!
