DISCLAIMER: I do not own Card Captor Sakura, CLAMP does.
********************
Fanny chan: So I see most of you expect that Syaoran and Sakura would manage to overcome their evil parts *giggle* Read on to know but this is not the end =^_^=
Tomoyo: Fanny chan had racked her brain every single day thinking of an appropriate ending.
Chibi Fanny: And this is what she thought of. P/s: This is NOT the last chapter.
Fanny chan: *looks innocent* Was last chapter a cliff hanger?
********************
Summary of this story: Well, basically it is about vampires and perhaps a few other creatures of the night. S+S & E+T!

The Lure of the Moon
By Fanny chan
The day with unknown results
"Never in my life had I believe to see a sunrise so magical, to find the deeper meaning of it. Those bright morning crimson rays represents two important facts concerning life or death. It symbolizes a brand new day to live in this world or it may be the last thing you'd see before you pass on, in other words, die." Eriol sighed. "That's what makes a sunrise so magical." As they sun slowly rose higher, Eriol yawned, stood up and heaed back to his dorm to catch up on his sleep.
*******************
Magical? Is it really? Is it magical enough to help our fated star-crossed lovers?
*******************
It was afternoon by the time both Tomoyo and Eriol finally woke up. Yawning, the pair tried to collect as much information from yesterday in their drowsy state.
As they slowly became clearer of reality, their eyes shot open and simultaneously, they locked gazes with each other. "Do you mean you love me?" They asked at the same time, saying each other's mind. Their surprise then turned to that of amusement.
However, their joy did not last long. Tomoyo's lips slowly curved downwards and she smiled sadly. "But today… it is either you or me…"
"Don't speak. Let's just wait and decide who lives or dies on the next sunset.
Tomoyo nodded slowly. "A good idea, an extremely wonderful notion…"
*******************
"Syaoran, are you okay? I know you will be able to oversome today's event. Just try your very best!" Sakura smiled.
Syaoran slowly opened his eyes as he once again overstresses himself while practising. "I'm fine Sakura. I'm sure I'll be just fine tonight. Now to practise again."
With that, Syaoran got back into position and continued his training.
*******************
The day had passed quickly and soon, it was dusk. The dreaded moment of truth has finally arrived.
To everyone reading this, the long awaited night is about to begin. A night of suspense and drama with only two possible endings… a happy one… or a tragic one between two pairs of star-crossed lovers like it was meant to be. Is the relationship between a victim and his or her assailant possible? Let us allow heaven, fate and our own will decide…
*******************
Syaoran sat in a small secluded area in a dim forest. Yes, it was the very same forest which was Tomoyo's favourite location. He started to meditate and you could almost see him levitating an inch of the ground.
Sakura, on the other hand, was kneeling beside him, head bowed for a desperate prayer.
Finally, the thin silvery moonbeam shone on the still figure of Syaoran Li. With a loud cry from his lips, Sakura was thrown a distance away. Repeatedly, she tried to inch closer but to no avail.
"SYAORAN! SYAORAN!" she screamed, beating on the invisible shield.
"Am I too late?" A voice behind her spoke. "Mother?" Sakura asked in bewilderment. "What are you doing here?"
"I had just found out a terrible side effect from this spell. If anyone in this shield stresses themself too much, they have a great possibility of…" Nadeshiko pausd. "He may die…" she finally mummered.
Sakura screamed at the full realization of these three simple words and her body started glowing a weak pink aura. "Syaoran…" she breaked down and wept for him, hoping and praying that he will make it through the night. Will her desperate pleas be answered? Not even I know…
*******************
On the other side of this very forest, a faint silhouette could barely be made out from the shadows of the dark leaves. An inhumanly pale and attractive woman emerged. It was Tomoyo. There is one difference though as this Tomoyo consists only of evil.
"Eriol Hiragizawa…" she hissed at the boy before her. Grinning, she bared her canines but Eriol did not do as much as flinch. He spoke softly but loud enough so that Tomoyo could hear.
"I'm no longer afraid Tomoyo. Whoever makes it to see the first rays of the morning sun will be the one to live. It is fate and nothing can change it. Nothing. But please, please fight it Tomoyo. Please…"
His pleas unfortunately fell on deaf eyes as the vampire grabbed him by the shoulders and pulled him closer.
It was eerie. Eriol was almost… willing…
Closer… closer… Tomoyo would just need to sink her teeth into his pale neck to end this suspense.
And, at this precise moment, a shrill scream finally pierced the once thought calm atmosphere of the night. Whose was it? We will soon find out...
*******************
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! If any of you thought last chapter's cliffhanger was bad, what about this? MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!
Chibi Fanny: Is this considered as a cliffhanger? *turns to readers* Is it really? R&R!! =^_^=
