A week has passed and I'm rather bored. Sure the atmosphere is nice an all, but I'm just not having any fun by myself. Eli and Madison are too busy falling in love to notice me. I wish Li was here, he would make things better.

We began to have breakfast at 9 everyday, so they haven't neglected me totally. I haven't gone swimming yet so I think I'll take a swim in the Pacific later. I usually watch the news in the morning but I forgot today so I don't know how the weather is going to be.

Sakura decided to swim now, since there was nothing else to do. She changed into her swimsuit which was a two-piece plaid bikini. She let her waist-length hair down and brushed it slowly, concentrating on her thoughts more then her hair.

I miss Li so much...

She grabbed a beach towel and headed for the outer limits. She ran into Eli and Madison in the hall.

"Hi Madison, Eli".

"Hello Sakura", Eli and Madison said together.

"I was just going to take a swim", Sakura said.

"Oh well have fun, were going to play tennis", Madison said.

"You too, bye", Sakura said.

A chill went through my spine.

It's getting stronger

They departed and went their separate ways, but what they didn't know was that they wouldn't see Sakura in a very long time.

It was a beautiful sunny day, perfect for swimming. I advanced towards the railing and began to decline down the ladder. I stopped mid-way and turned to face the ocean. I inhaled deeply and dived into endless sea. I gracefully entered the water. The water was colder the I expected it to be. I shuttered under the water, something is just not right. After a couple of minutes I got used to it and started to swim further away from the ship.

The evil was growing stronger. I looked towards the sky to see a black wall cloud moving in. It didn't look like a normal storm, more of a storm that was being "made".

Just when I start to have fun, I said to myself.

I began swimming towards the ship but alas! The wind was blowing full force against me. It was impossible to swim that way. I used all of my strength to swim against the wind, but to no avail. I became desperate and started yelling for help, but my words were lost in the wind.

The rain began to pour from the heavens, camoflouging my tears.

"HELP ME.........SOMEONE"!! I yelled into the wind. My drenched hair was plastered to my face, obscuring my vision.

The rain was falling relentlessly, lightning was lighting up the sky every now and then. Thunder rattled the earth. All hope was lost, the ship was getting farther and farther away.

Come on Sakura pull yourself together, you can't die, not yet"! I said aloud to myself.

I looked around frantically searching for something, anything. About a half mile away I spotted a houseboat. The houseboat was swaying back and forth, it didn't look like it was going to make it through the storm. I decided to swim for it anyway.

I focused on nothing but getting to that boat. I was getting closer and closer when out of nowhere a bolt of thunder struck the houseboat. I stopped swimming and just stared, mouth wide open.

"No way! Someone or something is doing this! There is no way that the weather could change so abruptly"!

The waves were getting larger, some even looked to be close to tidal waves. I turned around to look at the cruise ship when a gigantic wave towered above me and crashed into me, pushing me underwater. The wave knocked me farther away from the ship. I floated helplessly above the water for awhile before I bumped into something. I turned around and I was in the midst of hundreds of pieces of debris from the houseboat. I grabbed onto a large piece of debris and got up so I was laying on the piece. I lay there staring at the sky knowing that Li could be looking at the same sky except not in mortal danger. I slowly turned my head to the side to see a humongous wave. I screamed and braced myself for the impact. The wave was so powerful that it rendered me slightly unconscience. Everything turned black, I knew no more...

Madison and Eli spent the remainder of the evening playing tennis together.

"Hey there's a storm coming" Madison inquired as she was listening to the news channel on the radio.

"Yeah sounds like it's going to be a rough one, we should go back to our rooms now", Eli suggested.

"Alright".

Madison and Eli walked down the hallway holding hands, wearing big grins on their faces. There was silence as they walked.

"Let's go visit Sakura", Madison said.

"Okay".

The reached Sakura's room and knocked on the door. They waited patiently for a minute but there was still no answer.

"Sakura"! Eli yelled.

No answer.

Madison stood transfixed thinking.

"She went swimming"! Madison remembered after a short pause.

They ran out onto the deck to find that it was already storming out.

"Oh no", Madison yelled above the wind.

They frantically scanned the dark ocean for any signs of Sakura........none.

* * *
I awoke by a sharp pain in my left arm. I tried getting up but my whole body ached. I winced and collapsed back onto the...sand. Sand! I'm on an island.

I felt something wet and warm on my hand. I brought my hand up to my face and saw that it was blood. I felt around for it's origin. When I felt my left arm, I immediately screamed in agony. There was blood everywhere! I stood up, ignoring all my other pains. I clutched my left arm as I looked around.

Everything was jungle. It was definitely a deserted island. I looked along the shoreline to see all of the debris from the houseboat washed ashore.

There may be a first aid kit in the debris

I limped towards the debris, determined not to give up hope.

* * *
"Hey Kero"! Li yelled from downstairs.

"What is it"?! Kero yelled from upstairs.

"Come down here so I can talk to you"! Li yelled.

"Alright, alright".

Kero flew downstairs to find Li crossing his arms in front of his chest.

"Has Sakura called tonight yet"? Li asked

"Hmmm....no".

"That's odd she usually calls me every night. And when I call her cell phone, there's no answer".

* * *

She exhaled deeply. (A/N: This happened a couple of weeks ago)

"This is so boring"! Meilin whined.

She looked around the mansion emotionless. She slouched back in her chair, still looking around. There were shelves of books lining the wall. One book stood out from the rest, it seemed to be glowing it's own hue of black.

I squinted my eyes, and moved towards the book. When I went to reach for the book it shot out towards me and floated to my grasp.

I widened my eyes in shock.

"No way"!
* * *
I slowly lifted pieces of wood, careful not to damage my arm any further. After about an hour of searching I found a first aid kit. Most of the contents were lost due to the storm. I grabbed the turnicate and wrapped it around the wound to stop and further bleeding. I looked around at my surrounding more thouroughly; there were palm trees outlining the shore, and there was definetaly no lack in green.

"Well.....I guess I'd better try to get off this island....soon",Sakura said.

* * *
Madison yelled at the captain frantically.

"You have to do something"! Madison begged with pleading eyes.

"You have to stop the ship! She could be trying to swim back to the ship, and us speeding forward dosen't exactly help"! Madison said.

"Miss, I told you we have to keep our course. If she was out there during that storm then she's gone, I'm sorry.....". The captain said.

"No"! Madison said with a slight flicker in her eyes.

* * *

The book opened suddenly flipping through pages on it's own.

You want it.....don't you

Meilin looked around, shocked.

You want her cards....and her magic

"What are you talking about"? "Who are you"?! Meilin said.

I'm talking about the Card Mistress of course.

"Sakura"?

Yes, the Card Mistress

"I-

I will help you

"But who are you? Where are you"? Meilin asked.

Let's just say that I'm the soul of this black spell book that you're holding in your hands.

"Ok.....how exactly are you going to help me"?

My book will give you all of the help you need. Just follow the instructions given to you in the book.

"Will this.....hurt Sakura"?

You want her powers don't you? You want to control the cards, don't you?

"Well......I guess I do".

But it's true. I've always wanted magical powers like Li and Sakura. But I know that I could never wield the magic of the clow. But this is my chance! And if it comes at the cost of Sakura's life then so be it. She took Li away from me! And now I will have him back!

Having a little mental time to yourself are you?

Meilin snapped back to reality.

"Whatever that has to be done, I am willing to do", Meilin said looking determined.

Good

* * *

"I'm......so sorry Li". Madison said in between sobs.

"She said she was going swimming....but then.....that horrible storm came"! Madison cried harder.

Li almost dropped the phone his hands were shaking so hard. Li's brow furrowed.

"Sakura...........NOOOOOOOO"!!!!!!
