The Secret Garden
Chapter Seven: The Morning in the Garden
Rating: G
The bright orange orb of the morning was barley coming up over the hill of the moors. The robins, blue jays and cardinals had barley awoke from there sleep. In a big mansion up on a hill an emerald-eyed beauty's eyes fluttered open. Sakura looked around the room; it was barley lit from the sun. She yawned and stretched.
"Guess Madison hasn't come yet" She thought outloud. She then looked to her side and saw the sun underneath the curtains. She smiled, and jumped out of bed and skipped over to the window. She pulled back the draping, and smiled as she saw the bright yellow and orange globe barley coming up over the moors. She was about to turn, and well at least try to get dressed when she saw a little black dot flying towards her window.
"What is that??" she asked no one in particular. She squinted to see it better, now it was getting bigger and bigger by the moment. Then she finally knew what it was "Soot!" she opened the window and held out her delicate hand. The ebony crow flew in and landed on her finger. She smiled and stroked the soft feathers of the bird.
"What are you doing here?" she asked then she noticed a tiny piece of parchment tied to his left leg. She unwrapped it and it was a letter from Syaoran and this is what it said:
Dear Miss Sakura,
Last night I was at Madison's house, and a man came by selling some seeds. I figured that the 'you know what' needed some different flowers. So I spent my last pocket money on some seeds.
Try to get here early so we can plant them. I hope soot didn't wake you if he did, I'm sorry.
Your friend,
Syaoran
She smiled as she finished reading her letter.
"I wish he would have wrote more though, oh well" She folded the parchement up and put it in a drawer.
"I got to hurry! I really want to plant those seeds." Sakura sprinted over to her wardrobe. She didn't care what she grabbed she just grabbed the nearest dress to her. She fumbled with the buttons but finally got it on. Then came the shoes, she had trouble with buckles but finally got those on to.
With that doen, she sprinted down the hall.
~~Kitchen~~
Madison sat in the cherry lit kitchen sipping her morning tea, and listening to 'cook' sing her morning song. The other maid, Rika, was sitting across from Madison also sipping her tea. Madison had a big smile on her face from this morning.
~~Morning~~
Madison walked down the dimly lit halls of the morning. The whole manor was silent and dark. Soon she came to a draping with a picture of a man holding a sword. She carefully pulled apart the draping and poked her head inside expecting to here the screaming of Master Eli, but this morning she heard none. She walked in and descended down the stairs into the young masters bedchamber. She quietly approached his bed there he lay. She smiled when she saw him and quietly sat down on his bed. She brushed back some of the hair that was on his forehead.
You know he would be cute if he got some sun once in a awhile she mentally kicked herself then snuck another peek at him Well, he is still cute whether or without sunshine, forget it Madison he'd never like a commoner like you she sighed deeply.
Eli's blue eyes slowly fluttered open to see the beautiful violet-eyed beauty sitting on his bed. (Yes peeps you guessed it Eli likes Madison and Madison likes Eli).
"Good morning Master Eli, I suppose you slept well" she asked getting his medicine ready.
He smiled at her.
"Yes, I did" he said as he propped himself up on a pillow.
She checked his forehead and smiled.
"Well, your temperature is down."
She is so pretty but she would never like a sick boy like me.. he sighed, and his happy expression turned into a sad one.
~~Kitchen~~
I wonder why he got so sad all of a sudden she wondered. She continued to sip her tea; still deep in thought.
"What are you thinking about?" asked Rika.
"Well, you won't believe this but...." she sat her tea down to tell the events of this morning. As she did so the other people of the kitchen listened in "Master Eli's temperature is down, and he was actually smiling this morning".
The whole kitchen gasped at the news.
~~Hall/ Kitchen~~
Sakura skipped down the hall, and rounded the corner she heard gasp coming from the kitchen. She smiled at the thought of surprising Madison.
"Good Morning everyone" Sakura said as she grabbed her coat.
Madison was shocked.
"You dressed yourself!"
Sakura just smiled at her, and ran out the door and into the morning air.
~~Syaoran's POV from last night~~
The stars were twinkling out the window of the ebony black night. Syaoran was deep in thought then finally he spoke.
"Madison I have question"
She looked up and smiled at him, and laid down her pencil that she was using to draw some designs of cloths.
"Yes, Syaoran?"
"Do you..." he paused and drew a deep breath "Do you think people can fall in love at a young age? Don't think that I am, cause I'm not" he said rather quickly then blushed.
Now Madison was really curious.
"Well...." she thought to herself well I don't know my feelings for Eli but could it be love? Finally she reached her decision "Yes, I believe you can"
He smiled then there was a knock at the door. Madison's mother Sonomi got up from her needlepoint.
"Yes?" she asked answering the door.
It was a scruffy old man. He had an old coat, and a bruised hat and with him. He also pulled a cart full of stuff.
"Ello' ma'am, would you be interested in some seeds or knickknacks?"
Sonomi sighed.
"I'm sorry, but I just don't have the money, but would you like a glass of water?" she offered.
"Yes, that would be nice" he walked in and smiled at kids but kept and eye on Syaoran. He settled himself down.
Syaoran eyed the seeds in his cart The garden does need some knew flowers.. And it would make Sakura happy... he smiled at the thought. "Um.. how much is a bag of seeds?"
He looked up at Syaoran.
"Well, usually they are five pounds a bag (is that the name of London money?) but for you I'll give you three bags of seeds for three pounds. Just to show my gratitude for your hospitality".
"I'll take it" he fumbled in his pocket for the money.
"Are you sure Syaoran, that is a lot of money" Sonomi whispered to him.
He just smiled and nodded.
"Of course I'm sure" He handed the man his money, and the exchanged the money for seeds.
"Oh I'm sorry, I never got your name" Susan said resetteling herself down in her chair.
"Oh, I'm sorry, it's Jefferson, Daniel Jefferson" he stuck out his hand and Susan shook it. "Well I must be going, a pleasure to do business with you" and with that he left.
"Madison can I borrow a piece of parchment?" Syaoran asked.
"Sure" she smiled and handed him a piece of parchment.
"I'm going to write Sakura a letter, and send it with soot" he smiled at the thought.
~~ Back to present time~~
Sakura ran down the dirt paths of the moors, the air wiping through her hair and the sun steaming down on her auburn hair. Her key bounced on her stomach as she ran; she was smiling from ear to ear. She rounded the corner and panted. She spotted Syaoran leaning against the door to the garden smiling from ear to ear.
"I'm sorry I'm late" she said panting walking up to the door, and sticking in the key.
"Yea, I've waited forever" he said sarcastically.
She just smiled and opened the door.
~~Afternoon~~
The afternoon sun shone brightly on there heads as Sakura and Syaoran worked in the garden. Syaoran was seeding and Sakura was hoeing (it's a tool people).
Syaoran snuck a peek at her She is so beautiful he mentally kicked himself Stop thinking like that Syaoran she would never like you, but he looked over at her, her emerald eyes were shining with joy but I just can't help myself from not looking at her.. he went back to work.
I wonder if I should tell him about Eli.. She looked at him and saw all the creatures around him Well, if the animals trust him I'm going to trust him
"Syaoran, I met my cousin last night.."
He looked up at her shocked.
"You've seen Eli?"
She nodded.
"Yes, but he isn't at all like you; his skin is as white as marble and ice" she looked around, and spotted a bulb and picked it up "White as these little hairs"
Syaoran laughed.
"Those are the roots" he paused "Put it in their Miss Sakura"
She was hesitant but dropped it in the hole. Syaoran laughed once more and picked it up and turned it the right way, and gently grabed her hand and sat it in there the right way. Then they patted the soil and held it in place. He blushed when his hand touched her hand. A faint blush started to grow on her as well.
"Syaoran?"
"Yes, Miss Sakura"
"Please, don't call me Miss Sakura anymore, just call me Sakura"
"Ok..... Sakura" they laughed as the sun shone brightly overhead.
