Chapter 11: Seeing the Light, and Secrets Revealed

The drapes were pulled shut tightly not allowing any sunlight to peek through. The heavy patter of rain was heard on the outside as it thudded against the boarded up windows of Sakura's room. The only light in the room was a single candle that was placed on her bed stand. The glow of the candle illuminated the room and the occupence in it. On a chair by the fire Madison slept peacefully, her head resting on her hand. Her locks of violet hair fell freely over her face as she slept. On a chair by the bed Syaoran slept soundly resting his head against the side of the bed which held his beautiful cherry blossom Sakura, sleeping soundly.
Her emerald eyes fluttered open at the sound of the wind picking up outside. At first she didn't know where she was she blinked a few times and looked around and came to the conclusion that she was back in her room. Slowly she sat up, and it was only then that she noticed the sleeping boy resting his head by her bed. A small smile crept over Sakura's face as she watched him sleep. His amber hair glowed with the light of the fire making it seem as if it were glowing with an unseen force. It was then that she also noticed that he was clutching very tightly onto one of her hands.
You've been so kind to me.. Yet.. I've been so mean to you.. Why? Sakura thought to herself as she stared down at the boy. I'm sorry for not believing in you… I'm sorry that I said you lied… oh Syaoran please forgive me. Sakura pleaded in her mind. A tear slid down her face which caught her by surprise. She lifted her free hand up to her face and felt the wetness of the tear. So this is what it's like to cry Sakura thought to herself.
A moan escaped Syaoran's lip and finally he lifted up his head and when he saw that she was awake he smiled at her, but it was quickly placed by a look of worry.
"Why are you crying?" Syaoran asked.
A small smile crept over Sakura's face, all she did was shake her head.
"It's ok you can tell me" Syaoran coaxed her he got up off his chair and set on the bed beside her. He gently petted her silky auburn hair.
Sakura's lip trembled and finally she just let everything go, she through her arms around Syaorans neck and cried onto his shoulder.
Syaroan was a little taken aback by this motion, but he finally relaxed and just let the girl cry onto his shoulder.
"I'm sorry" was all Sakura could manage to say through sobs.
"Sorry for what? You didn't do anything" Syaoran soothed as he continued to pet her head.
"For not b-believing in you w-when you said t-that rain was g-good for the flowers." Sakura managed to get out.
"It's alright, you didn't know. It was only natural that you would act the way you did."
"And I'm sorry for all the mean things I've ever d-done to you, p-please forgive me" Sakura pleaded through her tears.
A small smile spread over Syaoran's face he shook his head and gently wiped a tear from her face.
"Your forgiven, just never do anything like that again." Syaroan soothed.
Sakura nodded her head and gently pulled away from him, much to Syaoran's displeasure.
Suddenly the sound of the rain ceased from outside, a smile spread over Sakura's face as she got out of bed and pulled back the drapeings.
"Look the rain has stopped" Sakura announced careful not to wake the sleeping Madison.
Syaoran came up beside her and looked outside and sure enough the rain had finally stopped. The sun was starting to peek up over the horizon promising a gorgeous day. A rainbow was starting to form in the clouds over head.
"Syaoran I have an idea" Sakura whispered to him. "Do you think you could bring your pony around to Eli's side of the house?" Sakura questioned.
Syaoran looked puzzled for awhile but the he said:
"Yea I'm pretty sure I could, why?"
"Well.. It's just that…" Sakura sighed "Eli has all these big windows in his room but they are all boarded up. So I was thinking maybe if we could get your pony to pull off the big boards he could finally feel the sunlight and the fresh air and he would see how good it is!"
"I don't know.. Are you sure he's up to it?" Syaoran questioned.
Sakura nodded.
"The other day he said he would let me open up his windows when it stopped raining."
*Sakura's Flashback Mode*
"Well maybe he would if you weren't so rude!" Sakura said crossing her arms and paced the room "Your so soar, you won't even open you windows and let the sun come in".
"How can I?! It's raining!" he motioned towards the boarded up windows, where if you were to put you ear against them you would hear the steady raining of the outside.
"you still wouldn't even if it weren't raining" Sakura said with a piercing glare at him.
"if it weren't" Eli said stroking his chin thoughtfully "Maybe I would.."
"Fine! When the rain stops," Sakura stopped pacing "I'll get Syaoran, and we'll see about those windows" she said nodding her heads towards the them.
*End of Sakura's Flashback Mode*
"Alright" Syaoran said "When Medlock leaves to go shopping I'll ride my pony up here and we'll see about those windows."
Sakura smiled at him, a look of determination played on her face.
Just you wait Eli, you'll see that wind isn't unhealthy…
~*~
Later that day Sakura peered out her window watching for the time when Mrs. Medlock would finally leave the manor. Finally the women stepped out of the manor in her best coat and hat a shopping basket strung over her arm. She was helped into the carriage and off she went. A smile spread over Sakura's face as she watched the carriage descend down the hill.
It's time! Sakura thought excitedly as she ran down the hall towards Eli's room.
Syaoran was also waiting for Mrs. Medlock to leave. He waited outside the cottage by the gate. He opened the gate as the carriage rumbled up and latched the gate when it passed. Then quick as lighting he jumped on his pony and galloped off toward the manor rope over his shoulder.
Inside Eli's room Sakura was wheeling Eli up towards the boarded up windows.
"Sakura, what's going on?"
"You said you would open up the windows when it stopped raining, so that is what I'm doing." Sakura informed him. She pressed her ear up against the boards where a loud moan and groan were heard. "It's working!" Sakura cried excitedly.
Suddenly, the first shutter pulled free of it's nails and went clattering down into the yard. The light from the sun flooded into the room.
Sakura opened up one of the free windows, and called down to Syaoran below.
"Keep pulling Syaoran!"
The shudders moaned and groaned as they were pulled from their hinges. Finally, one by one the shudders were pulled free and down they fell towards the ground below. The light sped into the room like a lighting bolt, Eli covered his eyes at the sudden light. Sakura smiled a wide smile and jumped down off the couch by the window to go wheel Eli closer towards the windows.
"Do you feel it Eli?" Sakura questioned.
Down in the yard Syaoran yelled in triumph and yelled for Sakura to come down and join him. Sakura smiled down at Syaoran and yelled through the window:
"I'm coming!" with that said she jumped down off the couch and ran outside to join Syaoran.
(Alright people this is were I'm going to start changing my fic from that of the movie, just a fair warning.)
Eli still had his hands covering his eyes from the light flooding in.
"Sakura!" Eli yelled "What about the spores? Can you see them?"
"There is no spores, there never was" a voice said from the door.
Eli took his hands off his eyes and turned around to see Madison standing at the door. The light from the window lighted up her features on her face making her look more beautiful then usual.
"What do you mean there is no spores?" Eli asked.
"That was just something Mrs. Medlock told you so you would be to scared to go outside and play." Madison informed him taking a step closer to him.
The sudden realization hit Eli like a lighting bolt. The anger started to bellow inside of his chest. It all made since now.
"Don't you see Eli, the wind of the moor is not your enemy" Madison said walking closer to him still, she sat down on the couch beside the window, and opened yet another window making the cool breeze sweep in ruffling her hair. "It just wants to help you."
Eli took a deep breath and let the air fill his lungs. He closed his eyes and let the breeze ruffle his hair a small smile spread over his face as he did so.
"Your right Madison…"
Outside Sakura giggled happily as she rode on the pony with Syaoran. Her arms were wrapped around his waste so she wouldn't fall off.
"Thank you for doing what you did, about the windows" Sakura said as she breathed in deeply the spring air.
"It's alright, I'm glad I could help" Syaoran informed her.
"Oh and I never forgot to thank you for what you did last night, you know.. About caring me back up to the manor…" Sakura trailed off a blush starting to form on her face.
"It's alright, just promise me you'll never do it again" Syaoran trailed off not sure whether or not he should say the next line but he did anyway "I don't know what I'd do if I lost you….."
Shocked by what Syaoran said Sakura gave Syaoran a puzzled look but before she could answer she heard in the distance horses hooves. Sakura's emerald eyes widened in fear.
"Oh no! Mrs. Medlock! She's back!"
Syaoran put the pony into full gallop and rode back up to the manor in top speed.
Once their Sakura quickly hopped off the pony and ran up to Eli's room, Syaoran quickly followed suit.
"Hurry!" Sakura yelled as she ran into the room "Shut the windows Mrs. Medlock is back!"
But before she could finish her sentence Mrs. Medlock came up the stairs and the sight she saw before her made her gasp in horror. Eli was sitting in front of the window exposed to air, and Sakura was wheeling him around towards his bed.
"What in gods name!" She yelled "Get away from him you beastly girl!" She yelled at Sakura.
Mrs. Medlock lunged at Sakura but Sakura quickly ducked out of harms way and ran behind Syaoran. Anger bellowed inside of the women, she turned around to see Madison standing by the window with a smirk on her face.
"You let this wretched child in here, didn't you!" Mrs. Medlock yelled at Madison.
"No ma'am" Madison stammered under the harsh gaze "I didn't you see…." She trailed off but was cut off when Mrs. Medlock slapped her.
"You disobeyed me!" she shouted "Your fired!"
Tears formed in Madison's violet eyes as she lifted a hand to touch her red cheek. Eli saw this and his blue eyes burned with hatred towards Mrs. Medlock. She was about to raise her hand to the girl again when Eli yelled:
"If you dare think of touching Madison again, I'll send you away!" Eli yelled.
Mrs. Medlock stared at Eli in wonderment, he never before had talked to her this way.
"Get out of here!" Eli yelled to her "I want to talk to my friends!"
"I beg your pardon?" said Mrs. Medlock
"I'm ordering you to leave this room!" Eli bellowed at her.
Mrs. Medlock did not know what to do. Her eyes darted nervously around the room. Soon they landed on the broken shutters at the window.
"What on earth has been going on in here?" She wondered out loud.
She ran to pull the heavy drapes back across the windows.
"GO!" Eli yelled even louder.
Mrs. Melock backed toward the door. "I shall," she said. "If only to prevent you from doing harm to yourself with this hysterical shrieking…"
When she finally left Sakura ran to Madison.
"Are you ok?"
Madison nodded and wiped the tears from her eyes. "She's right you know, I should have never let you done this…"
"No" Eli stated making everyone look at him "You were perfectly right in doing so." everyone stayed silent till finally Eli spoke up again. "If the spores aren't bad for me… do you think it would be ok if I was to go outside?"
"I don't see why not" Syaoran spoke up "I'm sure it would be ok."
"Who knows maybe we could even find the door to my mothers garden." Eli said leaning back in his chair.
Sakura and Syaoran looked at each other out of the corner of their eyes. Sakura bit her lip. Should I tell him? Should I trust him? She looked over at Syaoran for reassurance he nodded his head in approval.
"If we could find the door" Eli was saying "we could go inside."
Sakura still didn't know what to say.
"What is it?" Eli asked her seeing the distressed look on her face.
Sakura sighed and looked over at Syaoran on more time, yet again he nodded his head.
Sakura sighed. "I didn't dare tell you," She said. "I didn't dare because I was so afraid I couldn't trust you…"
"What?" Eli asked.
Sakura looked up and saw the Madison was listening as well. Sakura knew she could trust Madison.
"I've been in the garden," Sakura admitted out loud. "I found the key. Weeks ago."
A gasp was heard from Madison, but she didn't say anything. Sakura closed her eyes and awaited for Eli to start yelling at her but it never came, instead he said:
"Tell me," he urged her excitedly. Madison also nodded her head as in saying she wanted to hear as well.
"When you open the door," Sakura started "You can't see anything. Then you walk down the some stone steps. At the bottom, you realize that you're right in the middle of some ruins of an old church. Did a church used to be here?" Sakura questioned.
Eli shook his head as to say 'no'.
"It must have been in ruins for a long time then because most of it has fallen down. Plants and grass are growing everywhere, all over it." said Sakura.
Eli closed his eyes he could just picture what the garden could look like. Roses were everywhere. Crocuses clustered in the bright green grass. A baby robin poked it's head out of a speckled blue egg.
Sakura smiled "Syaoran was right" Sakura stated making Syaoran look up at her in puzzlement. "He said spring would start over again after the rains. And it has, he kept his promise to me." Sakura smiled at him making Syaoran blush.
Madison smiled at the two.
"I hope you don't mind me knowing." Madison said.
"I know we can trust you." Sakura stated smiling at Madison.
"I'm glad you trust me." Madison said.
"I'm glad I finally revealed my secret." Sakura said smiling.
From somewhere in the garden the ghost of Eli's mother smiled as she swung on the swing.
AN- so how did you like it? Was it worth the wait? I'm sorry it took so long, I shall try my hardest to update soon. Well please review and tell me how you liked it, and if your gonna flame me please do it nicely.
