Sakura, Tomoyo, and Kero found themselves in a dimly lit corridor with torches and three doors
There was another door to their left. When they went
inside, there were wooden chairs in front of a very dirty fireplace with
a large mirror over it. There was another desk in a corner by a window.
Pieces of crumpled up parchment lay on it. There was nothing of interest
in here so they went back outside and went to the door at the very end
of the hall - that was a lot longer than it looked. When they finally
got to the door, it was locked. Sakura remembered the key in her
pocket and took it out, slipped it into the keyhole and turned it.
It made a loud click and the door unlocked. She peeked inside just
in time to see two shadowy figures and a glint of light,followed by a growl,
and then a thud. She slowly entered the room moving the door slowly
so she wouldn't be noticed. Kero and Tomoyo followed her trying not
to make noise but the floor creaked every step.
"Who's there?" said the standing shadowy figure.
Sakura recognized the voice at once.
"Syaoran?" said Sakura surprised.
"Sakura? Is that you? Where's everyone else?"
asked Syaoran.
"It's ok. We're here." said Tomoyo.
Sakura ran over to Syaoran and gave him a big hug.
He blushed but then winced in pain.
"What's wrong?" asked Sakura.
She looked at her hand. It was covered in
blood. His blood.
"Tomoyo do you..." said Sakura.
"Here." said Tomoyo handing her a roll of bandages.
"How did you..." started Sakura.
"Sakura, we've been friends a long time. I
know when you need something."
While Syaoran put the bandages on, the group looked
for another way out. That's when Sakura realized that the ceiling
of the room was made of glass. Above it was not sky, but water.
There was also a high ledge going around the room that a person could stand
on if they could reach that high.
"Kero? I don't think the ceiling looks safe."
said Sakura, her voice wavering.
"Yeah." agreed Tomoyo and Kero.
Since there was no other way out at the moment,
they decided to rest and look later.
"So Syaoran, what happened to you?" asked Sakura.
"Well, I just woke up
"Oh." said Tomoyo.
"Well, while YOU were in here fighting that pushover,
WE were busy dodging tons of more dangerous things!" yelled Kero.
Suddenly the room began to shake violently.
The group looked up. The glass ceiling was beginning to crack.
Drops of water were starting to come down in tiny rain specks.
"Uh oh." said Tomoyo.
"Fly! Release and Dispel!"
Sakura pulled Syaoran and Tomoyo onto her wand while
Kero flew behind them. She landed on the ledge just as the water
broke through the glass, filling the room. Then Syaoran spotted something
moving in the water.
"Sakura? There's something in the water and it doesn't
look happy." said Syaoran in alarm.
"Sakura! We need to find a way out!" yelled
Kero.
"Before we drown!" added Tomoyo.
Sakura looked around. The door was blocked
by the water. There was only one way to go.
"Kero! We need to go up!" yelled Sakura.
"Huh?"
"Just follow me!"
At that moment the creature under the water swam
up splashing them with freezing cold water. Then it went back under.
"Windy!"
Windy flew over the surface of the water waiting
for the monster to surface so she wrap it up and trap it. It worked
for a moment but Windy couldn't keep her grip and the monster slipped back
into the water.
"Lightning!"
Syaoran sent out a powerful bolt of lightning that
paralyzed the creature for several seconds.
"Water! Fly!"
Water formed a bubble around Sakura, Syaoran, Tomoyo,
and Kero. She used Fly to take them through the hole in the glass
ceiling water still pouring through it. The bubble protecting them.
