Chapter 1: Run Run As Fast As You Can

It was a cold, dark, rainy night. In a almost deserted backwater town there lived a young woman at the age of 18. Her mother and father had died when she was only 4. Now she lived with a very nice family on a farm. She had honey colored hair and emerald green eyes witch made any man fall for her at first sight. This beauty was known as Sakura Kinmoto. Sakura's best friend, Tomyou also lived on the farm. When Sakura was 16 a strange 14 year old girl traveled into the small town. The only thing the girl could remember was her age and first name. Now at the age of 16 herself, she was ready to live a life outside this small town. Sakura had many secrets that not even Tomyou knew. Some that not even she knew herself. As Sakura and Tomyou sat on the porch watching the lighting from afar some strange new noise fluttered to there ears. They weren't scared at the noise but were very curious. Since the rain was coming down so hard it made a mist over the land making it where they couldn't see. Still curious they jumped off the porch and raced towards the noise. Within minutes they where completely lost. They wonder around for hours when they finally came upon a cave. After a short period of time they where fast asleep against one of the walls. ****** Sakura woke to Tomyou shaking her like mad. It took her a few minutes to realize she wasn't in her bed, and when she did she didn't know why. Than the memory of the night before hit her. She quickly stood up. "We should really be going. If we don't than they'll be very worried." Sakura nodded. Than the two friends walked out of the cave. The second their eyes focused on the dark, they realized where they where. About three minutes later and they where behind there house. Tomyou was about to walk in the back door when voices from inside caught her attention. "There is only the old woman and man." The voice sounded like a young man. "Bring them here." This man was older, his voice very cold. Than there was the sound of footsteps and than something hitting the floor hard. By this time Sakura and Tomyou where underneath the window. "What do you want?" The familiar sound of Mr.Avrey flooded to there ears. "Where is the princess. You took her in after her parents died." The older man said. "We don't know who your talking about. Its only me and my husband here." Than they herd footsteps and the sound of skin slapping skin. Mrs.Avrey screamed out in pain. "Don't lie to me woman. I know you have her. Where is she?" The old man spoke again. "We will never tell you. The princess is safe from your hands." Than there was the sound of two gun shots and all fell silent. "Sir. Where do you think she is?" It was the younger man from before. "They must have sent her away. Don't worry Princess, I will find you." the older man then laughed like a lunatic. After the sound of feet again and the door being shut the young girls herd the same sound from last night. Than they saw the holder of the sound. It was a tank. Sakura and Tomyou only sat there as they watched the tank roll out of eyesight, hoping it would give them some sense of what they just herd. Sakura was the first one to come to her senses. She dashed into the house. Mr. & Mrs. Avrey where on the floor. Soon Tomyou was standing behind her. Than Mrs. Avery moved. Sakura immediately ran to her side. She noticed the bullet only got her shoulder. Tomyou checked Mr. Avery as Sakura took Mrs. Avrey into her bed room to treat her wound. Than Tomyou came in. "Sakura, he's not dead but seriously wounded. I'll take care of her, just go get him." Sakura nodded and headed out of the room. She saw Mr. Avery trying to sit up. She ran to him and picked him up, taking him to the same room as Mrs. Avery. A few hours later Tomyou was in the kitchen, cooking lunch. Sakura was sitting on the front porch, fixing some boards that where broken. She than herd the sound of a hours behind her, she froze. ::What if that's them. Oh please let it not be them:: Than as if god himself had herd her prayer the sound of a woman's voice flooded Sakura's ears. "Excuse me miss. Is everything alright. I herd that some tank had come to your house." Sakura turned around. The girl was about her age. She had her hair up in two buns with pigtails running out of them. Sakura nodded and was about to go inside when the girl called again. "I'm Meling. You don't know me but I might be able to tell you why they came. I know everything is not alright. These men are ruthless and evil. They would do anything to get what they want. And right now they want someone. More like some people. A princess who was supposed to be sent here and me. I would really like it if you let me explain some things to you. Answer any questions you might have." Meling said, going a mile a minute. Sakura turned around but before she could say anything she heard Mrs. Avery call from inside the house, "Let her in Sakura. I do have some questions for her. I know who she is, she won't hurt us." "Fine. Follow me." Sakura said. Meling nodded and than followed Sakura into the house. ************************
