Things are not always as they seem

AGAIN!!! Chapter Two Authors note: Thank you goes out to Polgara-C for pointing out the spelling mistake! Thanks! Anyway this is chapter two too my spin off of Things are not always as they seEm, called things are not always as they seEm AGAIN!

What's happened so far? Terri went to her aunt's house, only too find out she'd be left alone for two weeks, including on Christmas! She lets her aunts cat out the bag, or should I say room? (Yes I should). Terri follows the cat into her aunt's room, where she was not allowed to go in. Inside was a book that's title read, Sakura. Is this Sakura's book? How did Terri's aunt get it? You can only find these questions out when, you release that things may not always be as they seem!

"Sakura," Terri repeated too herself. She placed her hand on the book. Running it along the side she stopped when there was a clasp, which was keeping the book closed. She moved her thumb up too open it when the phone rang, started she dropped the book. "The phone, who could it be?" Terri asked her self, she looked at the alarm clock on her aunts' nightstand and the time read 1:30 PM.

"So late," She told her self, and walked out of the bedroom, as the phone continued to ring, went into the kitchen and picked up the phone. "Hello, Terri here," She said, with a slight studded in her voice. She was slightly nervous about having to talk too her aunt's friends, they always yelled.

But much to Terri's relieve, it was her dad. "Hey Terri, I just called to say I'm here in Vancouver with your grandma, and I just wanted to make sure you were okay?" He asked, in a rush voice. "Yea fine dad, see you in two weeks, okay? I love you, bye." She said ready too hang up the phone, to get back too, 'her book.' "Okay bye sweetie," He hung up and so did she.

"Why would he care if anything was wrong? It's not like he's going to fly back from Vancouver just to help me up if I fell or something," She said to herself. "OH YEA!" She yelled jumping up. "Kristin is going to be at the air port in an hour, I can see her again!" Terri ran too the phone and called her friend.

"Terri?" A girl who was obviously speaking on a cell phone asked. "Yes, it's me, I'm staying in Toronto, I have a Christmas gift for you, I mailed one too Melissa, but I forgot to give you yours, so I'll meet you at the airport, okay?" She blurted out in a minute. "Yea sure" Kristin agreed. "I have to go, talk to you later, bye." "Bye!" They both hung up and Terri fell on the coach, overly happy.

But just as soon as she sat down, she shot back up, remembering the book. She walked too the room and got on her knees, taking the book in her hands. She lifted her hand to the clamp and opened it. "Cards, pink cards," Terri said so shocked, but so amazed she had to take a card. She lifted the first card and saw the picture.

The young girl she was looking at was obviously at least 16, and she was very pretty. "She's so pretty," And in an instant, Terri swore on her life the picture then smiled. "Oh God!" Terri jumped to her feet, spilling the cards on the floor, and the book too the floor as well. Most of the cards were on the floor, but there was at least one in the book.

Still holding the card, Terri looked at it, and realized the wand she was holding, started glowing. Terri, terribly freaked out now, but still hanging on to the card, then fell back down with a load bang. She looked at all the cards and some of them lifted in to the air, and started hovering some 30 centimeters in the air.

"Wha-t" Terri spat out. She reached for the cards but in an instant she saw them fly off, she jumped up to try too grab them, but they were much too fast. "How am I going to expli- -" Terri's thought was interrupted when she saw the cards starting to sink into the ground. Dropping to her knees she picked up a card. The card then melted and sunk into the ground.

"Oh no," Terri said, "SHE'S GONNA KILL ME!!!" Terri yelled, tears in her eyes. She slammed her fist down on the ground, hitting the almost empty book. "Huh," She inquired, looking at the book she hit. She picked up the book, with a flashlight that was under her aunt's bed.

Flicking on the flashlight, she examined the book with her eyes. Noticing the cards left, she put the book down and picked up the cards. There were three cards. Looking at them closely she read, "Shadow, Firey, Float," she smiled. "What kind of gay names," But once again was intrupted when the book started too glow.

Appearing from the book, was a small yellow bear like thing that greeted the girl quite happily, "YO!" Terri looked at the yellow, teddy bear like thing and yelled, "CUTE!" So load the cat ran out of the room. She grabbed the bear and hugged it. "HEY! Let me go" Kero jumped out of her grip and back on to the book. "I'M Keroberos!" He announced. "And, you just let the Sakura cards escape, you know what that means, (blank look on Terri's face) YOU HAVE TO GET THEM BACK!" Kero smiled.

"I should really be freaked out by you, you know," She commented. "Yea, not every day I meet a talking stuffed animal like thing," She thought out load to her new friend. "Yup," he said, making the book glow. "Oh god, there's another one of you!" She smiled. "Not quite," He said, as a star key came from the book.

"This is for you," He said. "Terri, you are now, a CARD CAPTOR!" He yelled. A bit confused, she gave off a weak smile. "Card" She started. "Card captor, one who catches the cards', which escaped from the book," He proudly announced. "Yes, but what about those?" She asked, pointing at the ones that were left. "AHA!" He said jumping up and grabbing them. "These are yours, they have magic powers, you must go around town and what not and use them to catch other cards," He explained. "So write your name on them!" Terri took the book, and the cards, and walked into the kitchen.

Placing the cards on the table, she grabbed a pen that was on the counter, and sat down at the table with the book and cards. As she wrote her name, Kero joined her.

(This time is designated for Kero showing her how to use the wand and the cards)



One Hour later:



Sakura returned her wand to the key, put it around her neck, and grabbed the book (which held the cards) and put them in a bag. She grabbed a small gift and put it in her backpack as well. "Kero, I have to go out, do you want to come with?" She asked as she put on her boots. "Where you going?" Kero flew up too her bag, which was on the floor at the door. "To the air port, I have to give something to a friend," She pulled on her winter jacket. "Sure," he answered, trying to get in the bag.

"It's too small, can't I just fly beside you?" He asked. "NO! People may see you," She stated. "I'll carry you then, Okay?" she asked zipping up her bag, and throwing it on her back over both shoulders. "Sure," he said. Terri grabbed her newfound friend and headed out, locking the door behind her.

Down the elevator and threw the front doors she went, Kero held pressed agenst her chest, held with both hands. As she ran too the airport, which was about a block away, it started snowing more and more.

'Is this who I saw in my dreams? Is that why I'm not afraid of this little guy? I should be screaming my head off, but I'm not scared at all, why?' She thought too her self as she ran across a street. "What's with this cardcapturing? Why me? Does my aunt know about Kero? Does she know my new mission? Should I go along with this? Yes, I will, I will be, a CARDCAPTOR!"

Authors notes: Terri is the new cardcaptor! She made a vow to be one, but what about after her first capture? Does her aunt know anything of this?
