When You Wish Upon a Star

Author's Note:
Took a long time for me to write this chapter. I think you can consider this some Meiling bashing.. But it's all apart of the story -- it'll come out good in the end of the story. Promise.
And now; take Ashley's saying: Flames will be used to burn your house, so don't flame.

"We will be arriving in Hong Kong, China, shortly. It is suggested that the passengers make sure their seatbelts are fastened, and please gather all belongings. We hope you enjoy the rest of your flight--" Meiling sighed, happily, and began to gather the few belongings that she had not packed into her suit case, just as the other passengers had been doing.
She pressed herself back against the seat and waited, feeling that awkward feeling like you're stomach was beginning to turn and then go up your esophagus, meaning the plane was beginning to take landing at the airport in Hong Kong. Her home.
She was home, wasn't she? She smiled, thinking of the situation as a new beginning. Something she could control, for the most part. She could avoid being hurt, because Syaoran wasn't here. And while she was here, she could maybe, just maybe, figure out where it all went wrong. Maybe, just maybe, Sakura wasn't the reason she lost him. Who knows? Maybe it was her own fault. 'Shut up, Meiling, it wasn't your fault..'
People began to stand, and exit in a straight line. Sighing, she waited for her turn and took her place, exiting the plane into the airport, where few people were. She smiled, quickening her pace down to where she could pick up her bags. She waited only a few minutes before she was able to grab her own and then exit.
Pause. She needed to get to a hotel for the night, meaning two ways to complete the task; taking the bus or walking. She laughed, wondering why she was even considering walking when indeed it was night, and decided on the bus.
-----------
"Damn it," Meiling mumbled, realizing that the bus didn't completely take her to her destination. She sighed, forcing herself out of her seat and out onto the sidewalk. She took a glance at her watch and realized that it was now coming to early morning, but it was still dark outside. Feeling out of place, being 14 and walking the streets of Hong Kong, she began to force herself to speed her pace up.
"Where the hell am I?" She mumbled to herself a few minutes later, not reconizing the street names. Sighing yet again, she pulled out her map and began to use her finger to point where the hotel was.
"What kind of girl roams the streets of Hong Kong when it's dark out?" She stopped moving, realizing some guy was speaking to her. Biting her bottom lip, she forced her fear down and turned, glaring at the.. 'What the hell?! He's huge!'
"Who the hell are you?"
"Do you just walk out on the streets for attention, or trouble?"
"Shut the hell up and leave me alone." She stated without emotion.
"Fiesty girl. I like that." He stated back, with a small smirk. Annoyed, she threw a punch at the man, for it only to be caught. "If you're going to fight it, then we'll have to do it the hard way." Annoyed, and starting to get scared, and without thinking, she attempted to kick him, and failed. Chuckling, he pulled her arm around, thus her back toward him, and grabbed her other hand. Struggling, she kicked backward, hitting him in the knee.
"You bitch!" He said, tightening his grip on her hand.
"LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE! I SWEAR TO GOD, YOU LAY A GODDAMN HAND ON ME I'M GOING TO FUCKING KILL YOU!" She screamed, causing him to laugh, and grabbing both of her wrists in one of his huge hands, and gripping tightly. She began to kick frantically, and try to pull her hands free, but only causing the grip to get tighter.
"You know, we can do this the easy way, or the hard way. It's your choice, now shut up, whore." He began to run his hand to her stomach, and then down.. She screamed, feeling him touch her and kicked more and screamed at the top of her lungs.
"I SAID SHUT THE HELL UP!" He said, kicking her in the back of the leg, causing her to fall to her knees, her arms being jerked up, causing her to scream in pain. "Now be quiet, girl, because I can make this more painful then it should be.."
She whimpered, realizing she could no longer control it.. He jerked her back up by her wrists, causing her to scream again. The pain starting to rush through her fiercly. 'Help me..' she thought, and then she passed out.
-----------
She woke up, realizing that she was in the middle of a dark alley on an unknown street, which seemed to be abandoned. She whimpered, realizing what shape she was in.. That her clothes were torn, her arms and legs sore. She let herself sit against the cold wall and remember what had happened.. It struck her.
Some guy had raped her when he caused her to pass out. She look down at her body, all red and bruised in places. She began to cry, pulling her knees to her chest. How could she of let it happen? After all the training she had been through, she should of been able to kick his ass.. But.. But.. He managed to complete his task. Crying harder, realizing that she was now a fourteen year old without her virginity, she stood, and grabbed her bag, and began to walk to the nearest hotel.
'Just get there and things will start to look up,' she said to herself, trying to convince herself that being raped wasn't the end of the world, but failing. As for the moment, she needed be somewhere comforting and sleep, atleast.
She checked into a cheap hotel, and brought herself to her room by herself, setting her things down, and looking at the room. Atleast it was decent and she'd be able to recove for atleast a day. Sighing, she took a shower, which only lasted a minute because she couldn't bare to look at her body anymore, and then changed into a pair of pajamas she brought, and then cried herself to sleep.
----------
It was night when Meiling woke up. Feeling sore, she decided to sit up and went to the window, staring up at the sky. She stared for a few minutes at the stars, and saw one of the falling stars. Feeling stupid, but finding no other choice, she began to whisper. "Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight.. I wish I may, I wish I might, have this wish I wish tonight. I wish that someone could see what I am thinking.." She didn't know why she was wishing for that, but at the moment, it just seemed right.
-----------
Sakura woke up, gasping for breath, dripping in cold sweat. She looked around, realizing that she was in her own room. Frantically, she grabbed the phone and dialed in Syaoran's phone number and waited for him to answer.
"Hello?" He said, in a sleepy tone.
"Syaoran!" Sakura said, her voice shaking.
"What's wrong, Sakura?" He said, quietly, then yawned.
"I.. I had a dream that Meiling was raped.."
"What?"
"I had a dream that some guy raped her."
"I'm sure she's fine. Look, she's probably in her room right now. I'll check on her in the morning, go back to sleep, Sakura." He said, hanging up and placing himself back in his bed, without realizing the note on his nightstand.
