|Clowdi: Does anyone even read this?! I have very little point in | |writing this except to say: I am not a genius, and therefore I | |don't own CCS! And Jude, thanks for helping with the posting. | |Chapter 7 | |Syaoran stirred. He moved to expect the feathers of his comforter | |under him, but only felt concrete. The warmth of his room had | |seemingly disappeared. When he awoke to see where he was, he found| |to see that his vision was blurred. | | | |"Where an I?" he wondered. This was definitely not his room, or | |any other room is his house. | | | |As he struggled to get up, he caught wisps of a memory, fragments | |of a dream. | | | | | |He remembered being tied down. There was cold iron clasping his | |arms and legs to something. | |He had remembered feeling pain. A flash of a whip appeared to the | |mind. Each hit caused him to loose blood. | |There was lucid moment where a flash of an sea green eyes. | |. and a voice. | |The voice was enthralling, like a siren's, but there was a hint of| |disbelief as it called out his name. | |And there was the forever-quaking laugh. | |From a person in shadows. | |As his vision improved he looked down to realize it probably | |wasn't a dream. | | | |His body was drenched in chrisom red blood, with cuts and bruises | |everywhere. His shirt was cut and looked like rags. He didn't | |realize the pain of all this until now. | |But there was one thing he didn't get. He seemed to have grown a | |decimeter. This was not the height of an average 15 year old when | |he went to sleep. | | | |Blurb things appeared as time passed. He made out shadows of | |something. Something lying ahead of him. | | | |As he came closer, his vision improved. | | | |He quickly tried to fiddle with his bracelet, only to find it | |missing | | | |And that could only mean one thing. | | | |Sakura was dead.. | | | |And now, he could see her lifeless corpse ahead of him. | | | |"Sakura!" he cried, trying to believe that this was a nightmare. | |The moment he screamed this, something happened. | | | |Something appeared. | | | |"No, it can't be," Syaoran said, looking at the thing clearly. | | | |But it was. | | | |Old legends had said of some strong magic governed by a Clow card.| |Clow Reed himself created it accidentally, and it was only him | |that knew which card this power was in. The legends told of a | |force that could do what all magicians, potion masters, and any | |person with magic in their veins have tried to do for centuries: | |Bring people back to life. | |And the power was in front of Syaoran, in the form of the Void. | | | |"Void! You have to help Sakura!" Syaoran pleaded. | | | |But, the Void only gave its mysterious smile. And sprang upwards. | |It circled Sakura a couple of times, shattering glimmery | |substances as it went. | |Then, it stood in front of Sakura, and shut her eyes, and murmured| |Sakura's name. | | | |Seconds later, Sakura began to breathe. | |If you want to see more chapters posted (only two more till the | |end! ^_^), please, please, please review! Thanks! | |Oh, can anyone guess which show I got the idea of the life | |bracelets from? | |Needless to say, I don't own it! Guess if you aren't sure! | |Hint: It's from a Hong Kong series! |
