Chapter 8 - The Switch's Revelation

"I still cannot believe we been here two whole months already, Re" Taeia said as she put on her pajamas "I really enjoy making friends and all, but I do hope we would capture the other two cards soon."

"So do I" Re made a purring sound as Taeia scratched the sun guardian's ear

"Goodnight" The Cardcaptor said then slipped under her bed cover.

"'Night" Re replied as she turns out the light and curls up on Taeia's pillow

Neither of them noticed the unusual eerie glow of illumination outside of the window.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Taeia woke up with a small yawn. She stretched her arms feline style and got out of bed.

"It's another great day!" She exclaimed as she gets ready for school

"Breakfast will be ready soon, Taeia" Re flew down stairs

"Alright" She replied

Taeia was just about to go down stairs with Re, when a sudden flare of light outside her window caught her attention.

"What was that?" Taeia's curiosity got the best of her, so she opened the window for a better look, but nothing was out there.

The blue-eyed girl was just about to close her window when an invisible force gripped her. She felt herself being lifted off the ground by the 'Invisible Force'

"He-mmhhphm!" She was just about to call for help when a pillow was placed in front of her face¡­and soon everything spiraled black¡­
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(Taeia's POV)

"Taeia-chan!" A voice enters my head. It's Ming-kun's voice!

What happened? One minute I open the window, the next an unseen force seized me.

"Ming-kun, what happened?" I asked, or *try* to ask, but somehow my mouth is not moving!!

I try to sit up, but my body is not listening to me! What on earth is going on?!

"I'm fine" my mouth said, but *I* didn't say that.

My body got up from the floor, but *I* didn't command it to do so.

I can still feel, see and hear everything, but somehow I cannot control what I say or my actions. I've become a prisoner in my own body!!

~There is no escape girl~ a voice came to me

"Who are you?" I said, or rather thought to the voice

~Who I am? I'm one of the two your trying to capture~ The Voice taunted ~but you'll never capture me~

"We'll see about that" I thought

The Voice only laughed, an evil filled cackle that echoed all around me. I have to find a way out; there is no telling what the card will do!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
(Present)

"Are you sure you are alright?" Ming asked once again

"Yes, I'm just fine¡­I've¡­never felt better" The Clow card/Taeia replied smiling

"That's good, let's go to breakfast" The boy chided

"Go ahead¡­Ming-kun, I'll catch up" She responded

"Sure" With that Ming walked down stairs

"Oooh! I haven't been in a body for a long time" The possessed girl looked into a mirror "I'm going to have a little fun with it"

She smirked wickedly and went down stairs after Ming
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(Taeia's POV)
"How did you know Ming-kun's name?" I inquired the card

~Easy, I have access to your memories~ The Voice replied ~I know everyone you know~

"What do you plan to do?" I was angry "You better not hurt my friends!"

~You have no control over me, girl~ It sneered ~Just sit back and watch your friends die, one by one~

"No¡­" I whispered, but what could I do?
------------------------------------------------------------------
(Present. Walking Home From School)

"I adore food!" The card/Taeia exclaimed happily "This sure beats drawing magical energy!"

Everyone stare at her strangely

"Is Taeia-chan feeling okay today?" Tomoyo and Sakura asked Ming in a whisper so that the card/girl walking in the front wouldn't hear them

"I'm not sure," Ming replied "she fainted this morning, but she claimed she was fine."

"She fainted?" Eriol joins the conversation "What happened?"

"I don't know, I wasn't in the room" Ming explained "I heard a noise up stairs, then I ran up to see what's going on, and I found her on the floor."

"What do you think is wrong with her?" Syaoran, who's been eavesdropping on the conversation asked

"What are you girls whispering about over there?" The card/Taeia questioned

"Nothing" Ming smiled toward the girl

"Another thing," Ming started "if you observe her carefully, notice that she wore make-up?"

"What's so strange about a girl wearing make-up?" Syaoran questioned

"Nothing's wrong," Ming clarified "but Taeia-chan *never* wore make-up as long as I knew her and I knew her for a long time"

"So, what do you thinks wrong with her?" Eriol asked
"I think she's been possessed" Ming's expression turns serious

"Everyone¡­Clow card¡­can't control¡­Help!" Taeia screamed suddenly

Everyone turned to her

"Now I'm sure she's possessed!" Ming exclaimed

"You fools!" Taeia shouted, her eyes glow a eerie red "I shal-"

Before she can finish, Syaoran delivered a blow to her head

"Gomen nasai," He picked the out cold girl "but I had to knock her out"

"Let's get her home, then we can interrogate it further" Ming suggested

The gang took Taeia back to her and Ming's apartment
---------------------------------------------------------------------
(Taeia's POV)

"I did it, it was brief but I got control of my body back" I thought "They know now!"

"You may have won this battle, but I will win the war. Don't celebrate yet girl!" The Voice sounded irritated "I still have a few tricks up my sleeves"

"You will never fool my friends again" I thought, but I was doubtful. Will they see through the card's act?
----------------------------------------------------------------
(Present. At The Apartment)

The card/Taeia slowly opened her eyes. She's been tied to a chair

"Where am I?" She asked

"Enough with the act," Syaoran snapped "Who are you and where is Taeia?"

"What are you talking about, Syaoran-kun?" The card/Taeia curved her lips to form a sweet innocent smile "I'm right here"

"We know who you are" Ming's face hovered dangerously close to the card/Taeia's

"Fine. So, you want your pretty little girlfriend's body back?" The card finally had enough of pretending "Dream on"

"Who are you then?" Eriol spoke

"I am the Switch card" The it stated "I presume *you* are Clow Reed?"

"Yes" the Englishman replied

"I have quiet a few things to say to you" The possessed girl leered "First, how is reimai (your younger sister)?"

"Don't you dare¡­" Eriol grind his teeth in order not to hit the card/girl in front of him. Everyone looked confused. Since when did Clow have a little sister?

"You didn't tell these people?" The card/Taeia smirked "Please, let me. The great Clow Reed had a soft spot for his imouto(younger sister). Her name was Meiyu. When rumor started that Clow was planning on sealing us away forever, we wanted revenge. Who do we act this revenge on except for Clow's happiness? We did what our anger told us to. It was such a shame too; the girl was so sweet and kind. When you were away, we tricked her into coming with us; she was trustful too, perhaps a little too much. We killed her, and in the end she was screaming for her oniichan (older brother) to come and save her. It was then that we found out all rumors aren't true. He wasn't planning on sealing us forever. We just made a *huge* mistake. We were regretful of our actions, but Clow was outraged. That's when he sealed us into the book for eternity, at least that's what he planed to do"

The revelation left everyone in shock. The truth about why the all-powerful wizard abandoned his first creations came to light. Clow's creations had killed his sister.

"We were always loyal to him! How could he do this to us?" The card/Taeia's eyes brimmed with tears threatening to spill "So what? We made a mistake! It's not us fault that our tempers are quick, he made us that way!¡­ Why didn't he like us? All we wanted was¡­just a little attention¡­He's our master after all¡­and we just want him to¡­like us again¡­"

The card/Taeia broke down and sobbed

The gang looked at the card/girl in front of them. They did not know what to do, this could be a trick or it could be sincere.

"I don't like it here anymore" She mumbled wiping away tears "I'm going back"

A sphere of radiance suddenly whiz out of Taeia. It soon altered itself into a woman in a strange costume with the left part completely black and the right part completely white.
"Taeia-chan! Is that you?" Ming was the first to react

"Hai Ming-kun it's me" Taeia replied

Eriol untied her form the chair. Taeia transformed her wand ready to seal the card

"Switch Card! Return to your powers confined! Switch card" Taeia raised her wand and sealed the card

"I felt sorry for it" Taeia spoke "It was still loyal to Clow after all these years"
