The
wind seemed to blow harder as she neared her house. The sky seemed to get
darker as her feelings did to.
All round the weather suited her mood
extremely well. Cold and dark. She let a small tear escape it tumbled towards
the ground just like her life had that day. Her tear turned to Ice as soon as
it touched the cold concrete beneath just like her heart had turned to today.
She looked up at the approaching storm,
usually she would be worried about getting rained on but now she just wanted
the rain to wash away all the pain which had wrapped itself around her refusing
to let her out of this tight cocoon it had created.
Right on cue the rain started to pour, she
decided to take a detour into the park the place she always went either to have
fun or think about life. This time was different from every other time all she
wanted to do was sit and cry. But no matter how much she tried only that one
single tear had escaped just as one single person had escaped from her life
forever.
She
sat down in the middle of the pathway not even bothering to make her way
towards her favourite swing, what was the point nothing not even her favourite
things would help her now.
No magic seemed to be left in this world
which she thought of as home. She never knew that her home could do something
which would scar her so deeply she feared that no medicine on earth could ever
mend it.
The
Rain crashed down onto the ground causing splash's up her bare legs. The rain
the coldness of its touch meant nothing to her now, nothing did. She had no
heart it had been frozen by that simple sentence.
Her
memories yet again brought the scene of her house back into view, she tried so
hard to push it out of her body just like she had with all her feelings of love
and happiness.
This
was something that stayed though.
****Flashback****
Sakura
ran to the door as it rang for the third time in a row. She hoped it was her
dad, he was late HE WAS NEVER LATE! She opened it to be confronted by some very
official looking men.
'Oh hello can I help you?' She asked the man directly in front of
her.
'Are you miss Sakura Kinnomoto?' He replied
'Yes. Who are you?' She was slightly scared as the men did seem to
have a dominating air about them.
'I am pc. Smith and this is pc. Thomas' He said as he gestured
towards the other man.
'Oh. How can I help you? My father isn't home so I'm afraid I may
have to help you'
'Is it ok if we come in?' Sakura nodded and led them towards her
sitting room. Once inside she motioned for them to take a seat and then she sat
down in the chair across from them.
'I'm afraid Sakura we have some very upsetting news about your
father' pc .Smith looked up to see what Sakura's reaction was. She seemed upset
many thought were swirling around in her head about him being hurt.
'I'm afraid he passed away earlier today at Chadwick hospital. The
hospital staff did everything they could to revive him. But unfortunately they
could do nothing' Sakura looked at them not believing what she was hearing,
this couldn't be, he couldn't be true.
'No your lying to me. He isn't dead, what have you done with him?'
She shock her head in protest they had to be lying her father was so strong he
couldn't just die.
'There was no easy way telling you this, but I'm afraid it is true'
He looked at Sakura his eyes filled with unshed tears.
'I knew your father he was a kind and gentle person. And I know he
loved you so dearly' Sakura felt her eyes sting with tears trying to push there
way to escape. She didn't let them she didn't want them to.
'Please leave me' She whispered at the men.
'PLEASE LEAVE ME' She shouted.
'Miss I think it may be best if someone stayed with you' Sakura
gritted her teeth trying to stop herself from screaming out.
'My brother will be home soon. I will be fine' This was not true
her brother wouldn't be home for a couple of days he was in England.
'If you are sure?' Sakura could not speak no more all things which
may of contained some form of emotion had lost its spirit and in its place she
was left with hatred and pain as if a knife had slowly slid its way into her
already broken heart shattering it into even more pieces.
She nodded in reply.
The
police officers made their way towards the front door but she stopped them
'Please I want to know one thing, how did he die?' the officer
turned around and looked at her with a shocked expression on his face.
'Miss I think it may be best you did not no.' She glanced at them
pure hatred filled her eyes as this was the only feeling which could be
managed.
'I want to know' her teeth gritted making her mouth hurt with the
pain of holding them so tight together.
'He had an accident at work, all the blood seemed to be…. Be' the
police officer had trouble saying the last part.
'Seemed to be drained from his body'
~~~~end
of flashback~~~~
She looked
up at the sky thunder now rumbled and lightening flashed lighting up the whole
of the park. One bolt hit her school building in front of her.
She
got up dragging her lifeless body towards the school deciding what she had to
do.
As she
finally entered the school grounds even more lightening flashed around her the
thunder was louder and her body losing its life even more as she walked up the
stairs towards the roof of her school.
Once she reached the roof she walked towards
the ledge and placed her feet upon it. She was sure if anyone would fall from
this height they would die immediately upon impact.
The
blood would surely empty out of her body before anyone could find her. Just
like her fathers had.
She
closed her eyes and took one last breathe, before letting herself topple slowly
towards the ground.
A
lightening strike crashed as she fell illuminating the tear which fell with
her. She would once again be with her father 'Soon father very soon' she
whispered as she waited to reach the bottom.
She
waited sure her body would of collided with the rough playground floor by now.
Was
she in heaven?
She
felt like she was floating.
She
open her eyes, she was still in the air about 3 floors up, but she didn't seem
to be moving.
What was happening?
She looked downwards and faced a boy around
her age in a strange costume who seemed to be straining as if he was holding a
heavy wardrobe above his head but instead he held nothing.
'Don't move or I will drop
you. You could of died' Sakura's eyes filled with the tears which had refused
to show themselves earlier.
They
gently fell with the rain.
'Who said I didn't want to
die?' She screamed all her emotions seemed to be coming back as if the black
aura of pain and hatred which had once surrounded her had been burst.
The boy looked up at her his brown eyes
burning deep into her green ones.
They to seemed to be full of sadness.
'You wont die not now. Not
now that I have found you' Sakura listened but did not understand instead she
continued to let her emotions flow back inside of her.
The boy
below seemed to no longer holding Sakura as she felt herself fall down towards
the ground.
At
last this boy would let her be with her father.
Before
she reached the ground she passed out not knowing whether of coldness, pain
from her broken heart or the way her head hurt so much, but there was one thing
she remembered an electrical pulse running through her body as she hit
something warm and strong.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sakura
awoke with sunlight blinding her sight.
It seemed the storm had passed, she slowly
awoke and looked out her window.
Wait
a second she didn't have a window right next to her bed.
She
quickly got up and looked at her surroundings.
Where was she?
She knew she was in someone's bedroom,
someone who had recently moved as the room was bare, so empty of colour and
life.
It
had a small desk with a few draws a wardrobe, a mirror, a chair, the bed she
was lying on and a weird looking chest in the corner of the room.
It was the plainest room she had ever seen.
She
did notice one thing a simple picture surrounded by a green frame.
A
boy with what seemed like his mother and a few girls a couple of years older
than him.
Must
be a family.
As
she thought of that word family, she realised why her heart was in so much pain
and why she felt like something was missing something she needed, needed close
to her.
Her
father he was really gone, she couldn't say it but she knew she must she had to
so it would sink in.
Sink
in to her already wounded heart.
She
swung her legs out of the bed.
She needed to get away, in the fresh air the
world was spinning so fast she felt ill.
Ill from the way her life had been spun
upside down in such a short time.
She
walked towards the door of the small bedroom, her will to live and courage
failing as she opened it. Who was here now?
Who was here to help her?
Her brother would of heard the news by now,
he must be on the long trip home from England. She guessed from the difference
in time he would be here later on tonight or even tomorrow.
She
looked out of the room, knowing that who ever this person was she hated them,
hated them with her life as they had been the one to save it.
She
didn't know why they had bothered her body was only a empty shell which used to
carry around thoughts, feelings a heart.
She
clutched her chest as if her heart was missing. No it was still there but it
was just frozen just like the rest of her this is why she felt so numb this is
why the only tears she shed was out of anger for her father leaving her when
she needed him so much.
She
was now at the living room of this small apartment.
So
many sofas, and yet she had seen no one who occupied them.
She
walked over to them feeling there soft texture.
She
was so tired, tired of life of no sleep of pain. She sat down on the sofa
trying to relax but she couldn't feel the sofa beneath her she was so numb.
He
died he really died.
She
wept into her hands, everything from yesterday haunted her and terrified her
just like a ghost would. Her warm tears melting the polar ice cap which was
also called her heart.
The tears came out faster now, as if they
also wanted to escape just like her feelings had.
'He loved
you' a soft male voice spoke from behind her.
She
didn't even bother looking at the owner.
'If he
loved me so much then why did he leave me?' The owner of the voice came and sat
next to her.
'You know
he wouldn't want to, he must of loved you so much. He would never want to see
you like this. He would want to remember you for the strong person I know you
are.'
These
words seemed to make sense in her messed up brain. She looked towards the boy,
it was the one who saved her from last night.
Why
did he do it? She hated him. She really hated him.
Yet
she really couldn't believe these thoughts. He had saved her life, if she had
died who would be there for her brother or Tomoyo?
'Why did
you save me?' she asked still looking at the boy.
'I had to.
You couldn't die you still have so much in your life you must do. Your
destiny.'
She
looked up at him, how did he know so much about her? and who was he?
All
she knew was how he looked.
With
those amazing brown eyes, and this hair which seemed so messy but fitted his
well built body so much.
'My name is
Syaoran Li. I'm 16 years old. I come from Hong Kong and I'm here to help you'
she looked shocked he had answered her question, but still she had more.
'Why are
you here to help me? And why do you know so much about me?' He smiled and began
to speak.
'Well I am
a member of the li clan. Actually I will soon be the head of the clan. We are
descendents from a magician called Clow reed. He was the most power magician
there ever was. This is why our family also has a long line of magicians. I'm
the most powerful one in my family since clow reed this is why I was sent to
find you. I have been looking for the one person who can open the clow book.
The clow book is a creation of Clow reeds. It was made to hold the magical clow
cards, there is 52 cards and each of them has one special power. An example
would be the windy card this card cause's gusts of winds, the thunder card
produces lightening and so on. These cards have been trapped since clow reed
captured them after they escaped many years ago. You are the person who has the
power to open the book. You are full of hidden magic, which will only be
released once you have the clow key. I know so much about you as I have been
studying you for a long time. I knew it was you as I could feel you. Your aura
the brightness of the colour I could feel it all the way from Hong Kong.'
Sakura
looked at him as if he was mad.
Magic?
Clow cards?
Her?
What
so she had magical powers but she needed a key to release them?
Ok
her mind was a bit screwed up but she didn't need it even more messed around.
'Wait I
think you left out the part where we have magical beasts to protect us and how
if I tap my shoes together 3 times and say I want to go home I will' She
laughed, it shocked her.
Laugh?
She never thought she would laugh ever again.
She
felt her chest her heart the ice surrounding it was melted, the pain though
also escaped with all her feelings.
Even
more pain of her lose than before.
She
cried openly in front of this stranger named syaoran. She wasn't embarrassed
not scared to be in his company. She felt like she knew him. He looked in to
her eyes, the pain in them was horrible. She couldn't take it all.
She
just wrapped her arms around him she needed comfort needed someone to hold.
She
needed Syaoran.
He
seemed to hesitate at first but than he returned the hug. She felt warm and
safe in his arms as if no matter how bad it was at the moment as long as he was
there it would get better.
She
cried into his chest not worrying about anything but her father. She had to be
strong she had to get on with her life. She would always have her father with
her, she knew it sounded corny but she could feel him. He seemed to be smiling
down at her helping reassure her that everything was alright, telling her to be
strong.
'I will
father for you. I will be strong' She smiled and lifted her head not letting go
from the tight grasp she had on syaoran.
She
looked into his eyes.
'Thank you'
he smiled she knew he had accepted her thanks.
'Don't
worry I know things will be fine, I promise' She knew his words were true, he
seemed so confident in them.
She
gradually let go of him.
The
coldness suddenly set back in making her realise just how warm it was in
Syaorans arms.
She
longed for them to be around her again.
His
smell so sweet.
She
shivered as a breeze swayed into the room.
Coldness
she hated it. Syaoran handed her his jumped, she gladly accepted it, and
quickly put it on.
It
smelled of him, she took a deep breath of it.
'You know I
wasn't lying earlier when I was talking about magic. I need to prove it to you.
please come with me?' He got up from his seat next to her and offered her his
hand.
She
glanced nervously up at him, he had been so nice he didn't look like he would
ever lie to her.
She
placed her hand within his yet again she felt a judder of electricity.
It
felt so familiar the way it passed through her body warming her.
He
must of felt it to as he was looking at his hand in a strange way. She decided
to ignore the matter and get up to see what syaoran had to show her.
She
walked along the path towards the room which she had woken up in earlier. She
guessed she had been sleeping in his bed.
She
blushed at the thought, not sure why but she still did.
She
was led into Syaorans room and stood in the middle waiting, waiting to see what
he would be showing her.
Such
things like this would make her nervous but not now she felt energy in the air.
Weird
she thought almost as if it was magical. Yeah well she was meant to be magical
have magic powers and open a stupid book!
Its
just a book what makes it so difficult to open, why did she have to do it now?
She
had other things on her mind much more important. Her father, she felt tears
well up in her eyes but she held them in.
Remember
she had to be strong. She clenched her fists, she will win over her tears.
She
looked over to Syaoran he was leaning over something.
It
was that weird chest. She tried to lean around him to see what he was doing but
leant a little to hard and feel to the floor.
She
tried to get up as quick as she could but Syaoran turned around just in time to
see her splatted all over the floor!
She
gave an embarrassed smile making her face go bright red. He just looked at her
with the look (you know the one).
'What are you looking for?'
Sakura's curiosity got the best of her, just what was he looking for?
It
better not be this stupid book he kept talking about.
'This?' Syaoran took out a
very old looking book.
It was made out of leather and had the most
beautiful decorations on them especially the weird looking creature on the
cover.
She
looked at it in aw it really was beautiful.
Syaoran
held it towards her she was scared to take it what if she dropped it she was a
bit clumsy.
'Don't
worry I'm sure you wont drop it' He obviously saw her hesitate.
She
reached out to it such a strange book she almost believed it had magical
powers. She gently placed her hands beneath the book not letting her eyes leave
the mystical beast on the cover it looked as if it was watching her and judging
her.
As
soon as she had her hands on it fully, a blast of light brighter than any she
had ever seen and the colour of it was pink circled throughout the room causing
a crashing sound like thunder. It momentarily blinded her. When she regained
her sight she noticed that Syaoran had been blasted half way across the room
into the corner where he seemed to be trying to get up while clutching his
side.
'Oh my god what happened are
you ok?' She ran to his side the book still in her hands.
He
moved flat against the wall stopping the book from touching him again.
'Yes I'm fine. Just open the
book' He quickly spoke while still moving against the wall.
'Um how? Does it have a lock
or do I just say open?' As she said these words the books lock slowly opened.
Both herself and Syaoran stared at it.
'I guess I just had to say
open' she laughed.
She
slowly opened the book leaning forward as if to get a closer look even Syaoran
decided to leave the safety of the wall to look closer.
'No one has opened this book
for centuries. You must have great magical power' He said as if he was almost
annoyed.
But
still he looked inside.
All
she saw was some cards which looked a bit like playing cards but with picture
on them.
They
were beautiful though the top card was called the windy.
She
picked it up looking at it the back of it had a weird pattern which looked like
the pattern which was on the seal of the clow book.
'The windy' she said as she
turned the card back round, Syaoran looked at her in total misbelieve.
'No what are you…..' was all
he said before a weird looking lady appeared out of the card and began to swirl
around the room.
A
wind like none other moved around the room knocking everything upside down.
She
shielded her eyes with her spare arm but watched as a few of the cards flew out
of the book and disappeared into the ceiling she looked up at where they had left
for a couple of seconds and back at the book as she watched another card lift
and about the fly away.
Oh no this wasn't what was meant to happen.
She
tried to grab the card but the wind was so strong.
Oh
no what would Syaoran think of her?
'STOP'
she
shouted as loud as she could with all the anger she had inside of her which at
this moment was a lot.
At
this point the wind stopped and the weird looking lady stood in front of her
not moving but smiling.
The
card which had tried to fly away gently floated back to her hand, She looked at
it The thunder a picture of a creature which looked like a wolf was on the
front. She placed it gently into the book. Then looked back up at the lady.
She was wearing a dress which looked like it
could be the creation of Tomoyo, she was so white almost transparent like a
ghost but unlike them she was not scared of the lady.
The
lady continued to smile at her and walked towards sakura.
Sakura
didn't move she stood her ground she had enough of all this.
Still
she couldn't help but let a small smile appear on her face.
She
reached out her hand to reach the women's, and in return so did the weird
women.
As
soon as they touched hands yet another blast of light appeared and surrounded
sakura.
She
heard a voice in the background shout her name she guessed it was Syaoran but
she didn't care she felt so happy as if she was being lifted off the ground and
to her surprise she was.
She
felt something in her hand she looked down at it another card.
The
windy she smiled again on the front was the women who she had just seen.
She
placed the card into the book as she did the wind which was surrounding her
gently dispelled and lowered her to the ground.
She
landed on her feet, just in time to confront Syaoran's worried eyes.
He looked at her and then down at the book
and at her than at the book.
'You…' he tried to say but
his words seemed stuck.
'You could have been killed.
You never call out the name of the cards without the Clow key.'
She
dropped the book to the floor.
She
felt so tired, syaoran grabbed her as she was about to fall to the ground just
like the book.
'You need your rest you used
so much of your magic. You must be a strong magician, not even Clow himself
could order the windy to do what he said. You not only stopped her you stopped
the rest of the cards from escaping. You have already gained the trust of her,
she will probably be your most faithful card'
Syaoran
said this so fast sakuras tired brain couldn't cope.
She
fell limp in Syaoran's arms.
He
tightened his grip looking down at her in complete admiration.
'Sorry you better rest.'
He
glanced over at the bed, and sighed. Sakura looked at it to, the windy had
knocked it over in her attack. Oh no where was she going to go?
'We better get you to the guest
room'
He
reached under her legs so he could carry her in his arms.
He
seemed remarkably strong for someone so young.
She
leant her head against his chest and closed her eyes thoughts of what happened
today going around in her head.
She
had found her magical powers and also found what seemed like a true friend. She
knew that with Syaoran beside her he would help her get through her fathers
death, he would help her be strong.
She
opened her eyes as she felt her body come in contact with a soft surface. She
smiled at last she could sleep, her eyes seemed to close as she pulled herself
into a tight ball.
Within
in second she felt her body drift into unconsciousness becoming relaxed.
Syaoran
stood beside her until her breathing became even and slow.
He
knelt down looking into her face then she felt his gentle fingers pull away
some of the strands of hair which were
over her face.
'You have been through so
much. I just hope that you are up to meeting Keroberos. You have become a card
captor now. Your destiny has begun, I just hope you can handle it' he
whispered,
sakura smiled as she thought of Syaoran and
herself capturing cards battling with other strange mystical creatures while
wearing weird costumes.
She
thought of his words so kind and sweet.
I will be fine as long as I have you,
syaoran, these were the last thoughts she could muster before she completely
drifted into unconsciousness.
