Chapter 20
The demons swarmed around me filling the air with this God-awful stench that had me on the ground gasping for air. My vision started to blur and all I could hear was their voices and the screaming voices of my friends and Syaoran. I wanted to cry out for help but every time I opened my mouth to make sound, nothing came out.
Everything started swirling and then I couldn't see anything or move. I couldn't hear anything either, and I'm not sure if it's because everything really went quiet or I had gone deaf. Then, my answers were answered.well about my hearing anyways.
"Well, now I have you, Princess. You've caused me so much trouble," I could hear Melin's voice say. "I can't wait to get you to the head demon so you can finally be put out of your misery and out of my way." I heard footsteps coming closer to me. I wanted to get up and try and defend myself if it was necessary, but what good would it had done me? I couldn't see. So I just lay there listening to her footsteps coming closer and closer and then they finally stopped. I felt a hand grab me by the hair and lift my head up off the ground. "Do you know how the head demon will dispose of you Sakura?" she asked. Did she honestly expect me to answer? I couldn't make a sound even if I wanted to! "He'll drain you of your powers and eat you!" She made sure she emphasized the word eat before throwing my head back on the hard ground.
Tears formed in my eyes began to flow. I might have been bleeding but I wasn't sure. My now aching head was throbbing too bad and I felt like if I didn't control my tears soon I would drown in them.
"So this is the beautiful and delicious Princess!" I heard a voice ring through the darkness. It sounded like that voice I heard when we were in the forest before we discovered Melin led them to us.
"Don't even think about it," I heard Melin say. More footsteps sounded and stopped near my lifeless body.
"Not even a nibble of her hair?" The demon questioned.
"Not even a nibble. Maybe if your Master feels it's necessary he'll let you have what's left of her bones," Melin said chuckling.
I felt like my life was just about to end and there was nothing in the world I could do about it. I wanted to cry some more, but this time not from my injured head but from my injured heart. Painful things began popping up in my head of all the things I would never be able to do.
I would never get to laugh and joke with any of my newfound friends. I would never again get to smell the forests after the rain or the wildflowers that sway back and forth in the wind. I would never be able to see my real mother. I would never get to know what it's like to have kids of my own and most importantly, I would never be able to be held in Syaoran's arms, Melin made sure of that.
It hurt me to think of all the things that I would never get to do again or experience and from each passing second I could feel my heart grow heavier. It got to the point where if felt so heavy that it felt like it would rip through my chest and fall ten feet into the ground.
*Sakura* I heard Kero's voice call from somewhere in the back of my mind.
*Kero? * I thought inside my head.
*This is a fine mess you've gotten yourself into now, * he said. I could just imagine him shaking his had down on me from disappointment. *How will I ever get you out of this one? * He asked.
*Kero, I'm so sorry. It's my entire fault that you died; it's my fault that everyone got captured. I'm just some silly little Princess who doesn't' know her butt from a hole in the ground, *
*I thought Syaoran told you not to blame yourself for every little bad thing that happens, * Kero said. I could hear the amusement in his voice that I know I missed so much.
*Kero, your death and the deaths of the others aren't little, and neither is the fact that I got everyone captured, * I tried to argue, but I felt something hit me across the face. *OUCH! * I screamed mentally.
*Every time I heard you blame yourself I'm going to smack you in your face, * Kero told me like it was no big deal.
*You don't need to do that you know! Besides how did you smack me? * I asked curiously.
*You can do a lot of things when you a ghost, * Kero said. I could feel his little paws massaging the place he had hit earlier.
*Are you saying I should become a ghost? * I asked in a teasing tone. I missed doing this with Kero, and it's a shame that this would be the last time I would ever get to feel happiness ever again.
*Oh course not! You still need to be with Syaoran and the others, * Kero told me. I felt his paw leave my face. I heard a huff before he continued and I had a clear image of Kero with his little paws on his hips. *Thinking of becoming a ghost it's outrageous! Syaoran still needs you and you need him and well it goes pretty much the same for everyone else. You all need each other. You're a team! Trust them Sakura they'll pull through for you, I promise. *
I heard Kero's voice fade out when he said he promised and panic rose within me. *Kero! Kero! Please don't leave me hear alone. * Once more tears filled and over flowed.

"Now see Princess! That wasn't so bad now was it!" I opened my eyes at the sound of that voice I've come to hate so much. It was whatever it is that was with Melin earlier. I think we were inside a building and that it was daytime because only a ray of light gleamed in and landed on Boa. Who lay there with tears in her eyes? I wanted to ask her what was wrong and what had gone on since I feel asleep but I dared not to try with that demon around.
Just then Boa spit on him and the demon reared back and licked the spit off of him! I wanted to puke so much! It was just sick and wrong, sick and wrong!
"I'll be back my pretty." he said still licking away the spit. I felt my stomach turn a couple of times before it finally decided to calm down. Then I heard Boa crying.
"Boa, are you ok?" I asked in a supper hoarse voice.
"No," was the only reply that I got from her besides some more crying.
"What happened?" I asked. I hated times like this. I felt like I needed to comfort Boa and I couldn't because I'm still drugged up on whatever that smell from last night.
"I can't tell you. I can't tell anybody," Boa said through more tears. Then I began to hear other moans and groans coming from all around me. If I looked hard enough I could see the bodies of my friends lying around me.
Then I felt something grab my hand. I stiffly turned to see who or what it was that grabbed me and the first thing I saw was a big blur of amber. The fist thing that was running through my mind was Syaoran. "How-" I began to ask him but he cut me off.
"Don't worry about it. I don't think I got as much of the drug stuff as you and the others." He sat up with a little difficulty and pulled me into his arms. I laid there with my eyes closed enjoying the warmth radiating from his body.
"I'm scared," I managed to croak out. I cleared my throat as best as I could and moved my tongue a bit to try and moisten my mouth.
"I'll be here for you, don't worry," he whispered in my ear.
"But what about Boa? She's crying," I whispered in a low voice, while looking back up in his eyes.
"We'll see what we can do for her, but not now. First we gotta figure away to get us all out of here without any damage," Syaoran said. I could feel his muscles start to twitch and I was wondering if it was from the drug he had inhaled or he was angry.
"What about Melin?" I asked a little worried. Yeah, I think I'm crazy now. I'm worried about Melin! That sorry no-good-for-nothing is the reason why we're in this mess and I'm worried about her! I'm going crazy...
"There's nothing we can do. Melin died sometime ago without any of us knowing," he said in somewhat of an angry tone.
"What do you mean?" I asked curiously. This suddenly became a rather interesting conversation.
"Melin is possessed. The only part of her still alive is her obsessions; everything else is no longer." he said softly. All I could do was make my mouth into a big "O."
"What happened?" I heard Cobra ask. I turned my attention to him holding his head. He looked around and I saw his eyes land on Boa's still crying form. "Boa what's wrong?" he asked scrambling toward her. Boa just shook her head and cried in his arms when he picked her up and held her close to his chest. He turned and looked at me asking me the same question and all I could do was shrug my shoulders and shake my head.
"I don't wanna talk about it!" Boa cried out, filling the room with her sorrow.
Sad, I know. Plus I made this chapter too short, but I had to hurry and write something but my fingers won't cooperate with me so I have no choice but to end it here. Thank you all that's reviewed and have waited patiently for this chapter. The story is coming to a close, I don't know when, but soon and I'm thinking of writing a sequel. I wanna know your views on this. WRITE A SEQUEL? OR MAKE THE STORY LONGER?
Love's you all, ~* Ghetto Princess
