Chapter 11: The Evil Card
"(Yawn…) They've finally found out where it was. Took long enough," Kero muttered.
"Yeah… (Yawn…)."
"M-maybe we should go to bed…" Tomoyo said, stretching.
Eriol and Kero nodded.
"It's 4:00 AM… Hmmm… Come back over here tomorrow morning first thing and we'll see how they did against the card," Kero said, floating up tiredly.
"Okay… I'll take the book," Tomoyo said, packing the book away into her bag.
"Bye…" Eriol said, walking out of the kitchen to get to his own home.
"See ya," Tomoyo said, walking out through the other passageway to get to her home.
Kero floated up into Sakura's room and plopped down into the dresser.
"Good night, Sakura… Oh yeah… You're in the book…"
Tomoyo was fast asleep in her room, frowning, thinking of how Sakura had to wear those dreaded black and unstylish robes.
The book was right next to the window on a table.
All of a sudden, as if there was a heavy wind, the book blew open to chapter 11: "The Evil Card".
But the creepy thing is there wasn't any wind.
Tomoyo's frown came very visible now, and it was obvious that she wasn't only thinking about Sakura's robes.
Tomoyo suddenly sat up and glanced around the room.
…
"I got it!!"
Riiiiiing… Riiiiiing…"What?" Eriol snapped.
"What was the cover like before?"
Eriol sighed, recognizing Tomoyo's voice, and knowing what she meant by 'the cover'.
"Harry, Ron, Hermione, and some 18-year-old-"
"Remember the part when Professor Luck said nymphs only stay 14?"
"Okay… We've finished studying for History. Now for Defense Against the Dark Arts… Evil usually blossoms in lakes-"
"Ugh… Hermione, can't we take a break?" Harry asked.
"Suit yourself. Hmmm… I'll do you guys' homework and you guys should try and find out where the Evil Card is. But discuss it first."
Sakura, Syaoran, Harry, and Ron nodded and went into conversation.
"I heard Ernie went out and tried to kill Sara…" someone muttered.
"Another attack?" Sakura asked Syaoran.
Syaoran nodded and sat down. Sakura sat down next to him.
Hermione, Ron, and Harry sat next to each other.
"Last… exam…" Ron muttered.
"Nope. Tomorrow is the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam…" Hermione muttered back.
"Okay… That. Was. Hard," Sakura said as they entered the common room.
"Where d'you think that stupid card can be? Harry asked.
Sakura and Syaoran shrugged.
"The forest is a great possibility…" Ron said, sitting down next to Sakura and Syaoran and across from Harry.
Hermione took out her Defense Against the Dark Arts book.
Ron decided to not even say a word.
"Maybe… We checked the forest again yesterday, but…" Syaoran started.
"We only nearly died," Sakura finished.
Harry nodded in agreement with Sakura.
"You know… The forest can't be the source, because-"
"OH!! MY!!! GOODNESS!!!"
Ron, Harry, Sakura, and Syaoran jumped and looked at Hermione, wondering why the sudden outburst.
"I know! I know!"
"You know what?" Sakura asked.
"Besides everything," Ron said, mockingly.
"You'll thank me later, Ron! Oh! Oh! I know where the evil things are coming from!" Hermione hushed her voice down. "Remember what Professor Luck said?! Evil blossoms in lakes at different territories! Remember when we went into the forest, and everything was evil?!"
The group nodded, not understanding where Hermione was going.
"And you're not from our world!"
They nodded, yet again.
"ARGH!!! The evil is coming from the lake! Evil blossoms in lakes at different territories! It says so right here! Oh!! Oh!!"
Sakura suddenly hugged Syaoran, making them both fall to the ground. Harry practically grabbed Hermione and kissed her. Ron was dumbfounded.
"Jeez, Hermione!" Ron said, joining in the dancing.
The rest of the common room stared at them.
Sakura noticed at stopped, blushing.
The rest of the group noticed too, and blushed also.
"Ehehehe…"
"You're right, Tomoyo!" Eriol said, dumbfounded more than Ron, as he continued reading the book to himself, suddenly wide-awake. Kero was bouncy too. "What happens next?! What happens next?!"
"They start a plan on what's going to happen!"
"What's the plan?!"
"It says here that they'll tell the rest as soon as they get it."
"Oh."
"But at least they know where it is!!"
"Lets finish up the book now!"
"All right. Chapter 12…"
Oh… so it wasn't the forest after all… Was it that obvious? Please tell me!!
