Cherish thy Wolf:
part 2
It was night and
the people of the town were asleep. I
suspected that the Card Mistress would come tomorrow night if I caused a little
mischief to catch her attention. I
would know who she is and then I would get those damn cards. I changed to my wolf side and roamed the
nights. I trotted along the street and
a gust of wind picked up. I sniffed the
air and detected a pink aura. Was it
the Card Mistress? Must be, but then I
felt that I saw this scent somewhere before. I decided to put that away for now. I threw back my head and howled to the moon. I ran toward the base of the aura and my instinct told me that it
must be the Card Mistress.
When I saw that the
pink aura was getting stronger, I stopped in my tracks and squinted in the dark
horizon. There were two figures standing
there and the pink aura seemed to be coming from one of them. I didn't hesitate to think that that was my
enemy; I ran to her.
"Tomoyo, I think
you should go into hiding if you are going to record me. You could get hurt." I looked at my best friend and she flashed
me a smile.
"Okay Sakura, but I
want to get a few more shot of you in my creation!" I agreed and let her circle around me with her camcorder. I was dressed in a black body suit with a pink
skirt that trailed on the back. I also
had to wear the pink boots and gloves she made for this occasion. "So what do you think you are up against
Sakura?" She put down her little device
and walked to a nearby bush.
"Do you think it's
something you can't handle?"
"I don't know what
it is, but I hope I can handle it. I –
Look!! Over there!" I pointed my finger at the street in front
of me. Whatever it was, it was coming
to me, fast. I heard Tomoyo's camcorder
whir as she taped everything. I took a firm
grip on my wand and Kero flew up to me.
"Get ready Sakura,
and be prepared. We don't know what
this is." I nodded. As soon as the thing came close, I saw what
it was. It was a wolf.
"Kero, this is just
a wolf. It must have gotten lose from
the zoo." The moment I said that, it
bared its teeth at me. I choked
back. "It looks so big. Bigger than any wolf I saw." It had a chocolate fur and it was larger
that any wolf I have seen before. It
stopped in front of me and growled. It
took cautious steps and we walked around in circles slowly. It growled again and leapt up at me. I pulled out my jump card and I jumped as
high as I could. I landed safely behind
it and it turned around. I decided to
use my fly card to take it to the park so there would be more room to
battle.
I took off and I
could hear it following me. I hope
Tomoyo and Kero wouldn't get noticed.
When I arrived at
the park, the beast was already there, as if had it had read my mind to go
there. Strange. I don't think it's a normal wolf. I descended on top of the slide and pointed
my wand at it.
"Who are you and
what do you want? I know that you are
not ordinary wolf!!" The wolf took
stance on the bottom of the slide and growled.
Sakura. The Card Mistress is Sakura Kinomoto from
school! But is it for real? Is it no wonder her pink aura felt known to
me. This is going to be tough, but my
mind is clear: it's my mission to collect the Clow Cards. I growled and stood on my hind legs and
yowled to the moon.
"GIVE ME THE
CARDS!!!" I screamed out at her in a hoarse voice. It's a good thing she doesn't know who I am; I placed magic on
myself to prevent my aura from being detected. "GIVE ME THE CARDS!!" I repeated. I jumped up to the top of the slide. She stepped back in surprise.
"Y-you
speak?!" She clutched the wand tighter
in her hand. I bared my teeth. Then a yellow thing flew to her.
"Sakura! Use your cards!" it said. Okay, now she is 100% Sakura. I couldn't believe, but it's my duty to
bring the cards back.
"Right! I call upon the Fiery Card! Surround the beast with fire so it can't
escape! Fiery!" she shouted out. Soon, a burst of flames came out and
surrounded me. There wasn't a way I
could think of to get out. I whimpered
and yelped.
"Great Sakura! Now finish it off!!" that yellow flying
stuff animal yelled. I hate that thing.
If I get out of here, that's the first thing I'm killing.
Sakura stood still
and stared at me. I stared at her. The fire was getting closer to me and I
didn't want to get burnt. So I did what
I could: leap out. As I jumped out I
fell in the grass and shook myself off. I could here that yellow thing yell at Sakura.
"Look!! It's getting away! Sakura! Why aren't you
doing anything!!!" Sakura looked at it
and said, "Kero, that's not a normal wolf from a zoo." She looked at me again. "I don't know who you are but I'm not giving
you my cards!! Wood!! Cage up this beast!!" All of a sudden, braches sprouted fro the
ground and there I was, in a wooden cage. I have to admit, she's pretty good. But not good enough.
I concentrated on
my powers and I called upon the element Fire. It burned the cage up and was free. Then I cast Lighting on Sakura, as much as I have to regret it. She wailed and I saw another figure come to
her. Another girl, but with no magical
powers, holding an object in her hands. She looked like Sakura's friend. When I turned around to leave, something hit me with sudden force. It was a big lion with wings, so to
speak. It roared at me and was ready to
finish me off but Sakura's friend called it back.
"Kero!! I can't get Sakura to wake up!!" she
cried. So that lion is the stuffed
animal? Strange. This "Kero" looked at me and gave me a swipe
and said, "No one hurts the Card Mistress." It flew of to aid his master, Sakura. And I was left in pain and bruises. I walked off into the inky night and limped my way back home. When I got to my bed, I changed painfully
back to a boy. The furs shrank and I
was bare and cold. Everything of my
wolf side became nothing and there I laid, naked on my sheets, lulling myself
to sleep.
"…...Sakura…" I
breathed, and went to sleep.
"Sakura!! Please wake up!" Tomoyo wailed. When I opened my eyes, I saw her wiping a
tear away. "Sakura!" I groaned and placed a hand on my head.
"My head
hurts. What happened?" I asked, dazed
and confused. Kero looked like he was
going to burst. Which he did.
"That wolf beat you
up pretty good, but if you got rid of it, then maybe you wouldn't get hurt!!!!"
He shook his small paw at me and sat down next to me. "Sakura, why didn't you do it?"
I sighed. "I don't know Kero. I think he's important to kill just
yet. I don't think he's just a normal
wild wolf on the loose. He spoke to
me."
Tomoyo looked back
in surprise. "Sakura? Did you say it just talked to you?" I nodded. "But we didn't hear it say anything! Did we kero?" He shook his
little head. "Sakura, what do you think
he is? He can't be a Clow Card. You've captured everyone right?" I nodded again.
"Maybe it's a
werewolf," I suggested. "Kero, how come
I was the only one to hear it?" He
shook his head and said he didn't know.
"Anyways,
Sakura. I've got that awesome battle on
tape and it's going to look perfect once I do some editing." I sweatdropped.
"Let's just get
some rest, right now kiddo," Kero said. I got up slowly and walked Tomoyo home to make sure the beast won't come
and attack her. I used the Fly card to
go home and luckily Touya didn't notice that I was gone.
I crawled into bed,
Kero following suit. It didn't take
long to fall asleep, but before I did, I asked myself if it will come again.
