Hey everybody! This is the second chapter of Brotherhood of Wolves, my
latest new story. Well, maybe not be latest new story but it kinda is a
new story. I'll shut up now about that subject. This is the part that has
some of my dream in it. ^_^ I'm sure that you'll all enjoy this chapter.
It's really interesting and should have a surprising twist for you.
Something a little out of the ordinary. Well, on to the chapter!

Sakura pulled away from Syaoran and whirled in the direction of the screams. Men in black cloaks and hoods were blocking every exit, holding automatic weapons. She bit her lip in frustration. No one would live if they tried to pass the men, but they would be captured for sure if they stayed here.
"There's too many of them for us," Syaoran muttered to Sakura, standing next to her.
"I already know that!" she snapped, slightly peeved at the obvious statement. He didn't say or do anything except back away slightly. A blue mist filled the room, making Sakura sleepy. Many of her classmates were already on the floor, sleeping peacefully.
"Don't fall asleep! If you do, they will win!" Syaoran exclaimed, shaking her slightly.
"A.a sleeping spell?" Sakura asked, yawning. Her eyes closed and she started to fall. The only thing that kept her upright was Syaoran's grip on her shoulders.
"It's too strong for me to handle by myself. Sakura. Wake up please," he pleaded, holding her close to him. She didn't wake, but he slowly started to fall under the spell, trying furiously to keep his eyes open. "It's.a.dirty.way.to.kidnap.kids," he muttered before collapsing to the ground, still holding Sakura.

Syaoran stretched and slowly opened his eyes, not knowing what to expect. He was in a cell, lying on a bed of hay. At his feet, there was a larger than normal size wolf, still sleeping quietly. Careful not to disturb the wolf, Syaoran stood up and moved about his cell. There was no cracks or seams anywhere, not even for a door. The only connection to the outside world was a small flap near the bottom of one wall that was for food and water.
"These people are taking kidnapping too seriously," he muttered mainly to himself.
As if on cue, the wolf stirred and opened its eyes. Syaoran backed against the wall, startled and scared. The wolf had green eyes, very much like Sakura's eyes were. It looked at him closely as if it could understand humans. Then, it sat down and thumped its tail against the floor.
"What.who are you?" Syaoran asked, watching the wolf closely. It opened its mouth and tried to speak, but it came out as a low growl. Suddenly, a voice entered Syaoran's mind.
Syaoran! It's me, Sakura!
"Sakura?! Where are you?"
Don't be a fool. I'm right in front of you.
"Huh? Right in front of me. But that would mean.!"
Yes. I'm the wolf. It's not my fault. Those.men who kidnapped us are sorcerers and they transformed every single girl into a wolf.
Syaoran stared at the wolf, which supposedly was Sakura, trying to think of what to do.
There is no possible way that the wolf could be Sakura, his reasonable mind said.
But she just told you, his other mind argued and Syaoran felt that he had to agree with the unreasonable side for once. Besides, why would Sakura be playing games in a serious situation like this. But just to make sure.
"Where are the Sakura Cards and the Key?" he asked, crouching down to her level.
They took them. They laughed when they saw them too. They were saying that they would be honored by the rest of the sorcerers in the world for capturing the Card Mistress. I nearly killed one in my human form and I did kill one in this form. That was before they knocked me out with another sleeping spell.
Syaoran sat down hard. The information was too much. The earlier sleeping spell hadn't knocked Sakura out for too long if she saw them taking the Key and Cards away. He slammed a fist against the stone floor in frustration. Why wasn't anyone coming and saving them? Surely the Li Clan knew by now, especially if these kidnappers had sent a ransom note to all the families.
Sakura watched helplessly as Syaoran argued with himself in his mind. With only the ability to communicate to him in his mind, she couldn't just barge in and stop his argument. She lay down; head between paws and closed her eyes. The situation was much worse than she had told him. The kidnappers had other plans for the kids, something that really scared her. She had told Syaoran that all the girls had been turned into wolves, which by itself was true.
The kidnappers had taken the Cards and Key, but they had told her that they were going to show her off like a prize to all the sorcerers in the world who hated her for what she stood for; Clow Reed. Then, they would have a raffle drawing to see who would have a chance with her, not just to kill. She shivered, trying to block out the memory. It was something that Syaoran shouldn't hear or know. It was too painful to remember it as it was.
But you must tell him, her reasonable mind said, it wouldn't be right for him not to know, even if you are the only one who does.
I can't, she argued, shuddering with fear, he wouldn't understand!
Fine. Let him find out the hard way, the reasonable side said and Sakura sighed. It was a hard task that she must do, before the men come to take her away. She moaned slightly and opened her eyes.
Syaoran was sitting against the wall, his eyes slanted in concentration.
Maybe he will listen to reason. Sighing with frustration, Sakura got up and padded over to Syaoran before lying down again at his side. Syaoran absentmindedly patted her head, still lost in his thoughts.
Syaoran?
"Hm? What is it Sakura?"
Um.these kidnappers aren't normal. They.they're planning to use us in an experiment.
"What?! What kind of experiment?"
To see if wolves and humans are capable of.
Syaoran's eyes got wide as he stared at the wolf at his side. "You.you mean capable of THAT?"
Sadly, yes.
Sakura shifted slightly, suddenly aware of the grind of a key in a lock. A door appeared in the cell wall and as it opened, five men entered and then stood away for a well-dressed man.
"So this is the famous Card Mistress and her.henchman, the leader, I mean the ex-leader of the Li Clan," the man sneered as he looked down on Sakura and Syaoran.
Sakura stood and growled, daring the man to say it again. The man only sneered but his eyes betrayed his fear.
Who is that, Sakura? Sakura felt Syaoran's presence in her mind.
The one who is responsible for this kidnapping.
"You are lucky for I have decided to let you two in on my plans. I plan to raffle a chance to all the sorcerers in the world to have a chance at the Card Mistress unless you, Xiao Lang, can make her with child in five months," the man explained and Syaoran stared at him in disgust.
"I'm supposed to do WHAT?!" he exclaimed, leaping to his feet.
"You heard me correctly. Now I shall leave you two to your business," the man said, grinning evilly as he backed out the door. "If you don't, she will be given to one lucky sorcerer in the world."
Sakura whimpered slightly as the door slammed shut. Syaoran continued to stare at the door in disbelief.
How could they get out of there and fast?
