Chapter 3- Uncertainty
Fan fic
Blackness.
Quiet.
Cold.
Sakura just lay there not wanting to move.
Fear still etched into every fibre of her.
She just lay there in the darkness.
The silence was welcome.
The cold accepted.
What was that? A sound.
Sakura didn't move, she didn't *want* to move.
A sound again.
And again.
What is it?
Not a sound...
no, a voice.
A... familiar voice.
"Sakura!" the voice was calling.
"Sakura! Wake up!" the voice sounded desperate.
Why, though? It wasn't like she was dead or anything now was it?
She turned over and curled up, not wanting to be disturbed.
"Sakura!"
Go away, thought Sakura, let me sleep.
"Sakura!"
Let me sleep..
"Sakura! Please wake up!"
........
The voice wasn't there anymore, crying could be heard.
Crying?
Why crying?
Who was crying?
The voice *did* sound familiar.
It was Madison.
Madison was crying.
"Please wake up Sakura..." Madsion sobbed.
Sakura felt guilty.
Had SHE made Madison cry?
Was it her fault.
She had to help her.
She had to wake up.
*****************************
Sakura opened her eyes.
She was in the park...
she looked around feeling dazed.
The first thing she saw was Madison.
Sakura was taken aback.
Madisons normally smiling face was blotched and tearful.
Her happy blue now red and leaking silent tears.
"Sakura!" she cried.
"Erm...yes?"
"Thank god!" sobbed Madison, she threw her arms around her in a solid bear hug.
"Erk! Oxygen!" was all could say as Madison hugged her tightly.
"I thought you where gone..." whispered Madison when she realised that she was suffocating
Sakura.
"Well...*gack*... obviously I'm not gone...*cough* *choke*"
She sat next to her friend and noticed that Madison still looked shaken up.
"I thought I'd lost you..." said Madison quietly.
"Sorry to worry you like that..." replied Sakura tiny pangs of guilt going through her.
"wh- what happened to me?"
"I don't know..." sighed Madison, "All I know is you suddenly stopped and started shaking.
You looked terrifyed. Then, when I tried to touch you I was thrown backwards by something.."
She paused and looked at Sakura.
"Then you started running. Your a faster runner than me so I nearly lost you once or
twice but you eventually stopped here. You then stood for ages with an expression of
horror on your face and passed out."
"Phychosomatic" muttered Sakura "I thought so."
"Phycho- what?" asked Madison.
"When you dream your falling right? And then you end up falling out of bed."
"yeeees" replied Madison drawing out the yes to imply that she didn't she where this was
going.
"Thats phychosomotic... if that makes any sense..."
"It doesn't!" Madison said brightly and Sakura smiled.
Madison was returning to her normal, happy self.
Sakura then recounted what *she'd* experienced, the darkness, the voices and that strange
man.
Madison listened and then nodded her head.
"This is getting freaky" Madison mused.
"Je Duh!" said Sakura in a stupid voice.
"I'm going to ignore that." said Madison evenly "We'd better go straight to yours."
"Yeah, Li DID say that Kero will know who this "Alpha" is."
They set off for Sakura's house, Madison, Sakura noticed kept looking at her, half-expecting
her to start hallucinating again.
They arrived uneventfully and Tori came out looking slightly worried.
"Where have you been Sakura?" he demanded almost rudely.
"We got held up after school." Sakura lied.
Sakura and Madison ran up to her room ignoring the dubious expression on Tori's face.
Kero, unsurprisingly was still playing his game.
"Yah! You want some? Oh! You want some too! -oh hi Sakura- GARGH!"
Sakura watched Kero bash the joypad buttons frantically as his tiny spaceship on the screen moved precariously
through throngs of other spaceships.
"erm... Kero" she said as she prodded the irate teddy bear.
"WHAT!" Kero snapped, then "Oh no!"
His pixelised spaceship had collided with another spaceship and now the "Game over" made an appearance.
"Never mind..." sighed Kero and turned to Sakura.
"When you finish pressing buttons, there's something important I need to tell you.
"Sure shoot."
"Weeeeeell..." Sakura began telling her experiences again for the fifth time that day, it was begining to annoy.
Kero, Sakara knew, was NOT a very good listener and usually interupted at every available oppertunity but now he
sat and listened with keen intent. When Sakura had finished she looked up and said to Kero;
"Well? Li said you'd know who Alpha was..."
"Yeah, I do..." replied Kero, a confused expression on his face.
"Clow Reed knew the bloke, one of the few sorcerors who did, powerful, very powerful but also quite vunerable..."
"He didn't look vunerable in my hallucination" Sakura said.
"No, he doesn't usually let that side of him on. What did you say he looked like?"
"Tall, grey hair, red eyes, a symbol on his forehead, and strange sort of batty like wings..."
"Thats strange," muttered Kero, more to himself than anyone else "Thats not what he looked like when Clow Reed knew him..."
"What?" interjected Madison.
Kero looked up,
"Alpha did NOT have grey hair and red eyes OR bat wings..."
"No?"
"No, he had greyish black hair, like yours Madison only lighter, and only ONE of his eyes where red, the other was green and
lastly he had feathery wings, like an angels."
"So, this moght not be the same "Alpha?"'
'Exactly.' said Kero, and if its not the real Alpha he might be beatable, if it is the real Alpha we are 100% screwed."
"What?"
"Remember the trouble we had beating the fiery card?"
"Yeeeees" said Sakura in the same drawn out way that Madison had used earlier.
"Well, Alpha could take it out by simply *breathing*."
"Whoa."
"Yeah, whoa"
"SAKURA! MADISON!" came Tori's voice from downstairs "FOOD!"
"We'll talk later." said Kero "AND BRING ME BACK DESSERT!" he called after them.
"Nope!" called back Sakura and she and Madison ran, giggling down the stairs.
*****************************************************************
Sakura skated by Tori and Julian, on her way to school, lost in thought.
Kero said that the person that she was dealing with might NOT be Alpha... or 'the Elemental' as Kero called him.
Also if it WASN'T The Elemental that was haunting her night and day, who was it?
And why would he, she... it, be inpersonating The Elemental, or be after her?
Her brow furrowed as she mulled the concept over.
He DID look evil, but Kero said that The Elemental was essentially a good guy.
And it did seem strange that only half of her description matched The Elemental.
She was also slightly alarmed by Kero saying that 'if its not Alpha, then he might be beatable.'
Did that mean that she didn't have a chance against him if he WAS The Elemental.
The small party rounded the corner and came in sight of Sakura's school.
"See ya later, Sakura!" called Tory as she glided past the gates.
Julian turned to Tori,
"She was quite this morning."
"Yeah, I know," sighed Tori "Usually she never shuts up. She's been acting strangely for a while now."
"Well," mused Julian "maybe she's growing up a bit, less immature y'know?"
"Hmmmm, could be..."
