The Secret Garden
Chapter 14: Miracles
Rating: G
It had been over a month ago when Eli started to walk in the garden. He had grown so strong by now, he was almost a faster runner then Syaoran. Eli was feeling stronger with each passing day. He couldn't believe all the stuff that he missed out on when he was confined into his room indoors. He hated to be indoors, he loved nothing more then to just stay outside and play in the fresh air. Today, however, he had to stay indoors because today was his weekly treatment.
Eli felt like he didn't need the treatment at all.
"Stop all of this!" he shouted as Mrs. Medlock wrapped him in warm towels, and filled the bath with warm water. "I'm well, why don't you send for my father?"
Mrs. Medlock looked up at him from filling the bath. She wore a frown on her old face as she walked over to him.
"Because I don't believe you're well" she said putting her hands on her hips "Despite what you and that wretched girl might think, when your father is gone you are left in my care."
She started to unwrap the towels around him. She noticed that his legs looked red, and swollen. A frown crossed her face.
"Look at your legs!" she cried in dismay "They are swollen and red, I knew you had a fever!"
"Well.. if I'm so sick... why don't you send for my father?" Eli asked slyly.
"What is wrong with you all of a sudden?" Mrs. Medlock asked as she motioned for a near by servant to dump some ice into the bath tub. "Why do you want your father to come home all of a sudden?"
"Well.. I think he should be notified when I'm ill..." Eli stated fast trying to cover up his right out lie.
Mrs. Medlock ignored him as she picked him up and set him in the tub. Eli let out a gasp as the ice touched his body. When he was done batheing, a servant picked him up and carried him into his room. Once he was dressed Mrs. Medlock started to tuck him in.
"Can you give me my fathers address?" Eli asked as he was being tucked in by Mrs. Medlock "I'll even write to him myself."
"You will do no such thing" She said as she continued to wrap the covers around him. "No wonder why you are sick, between that stupid girl, and that incompentent commoner. I bet they turned your chair over." Mrs. Medlock frowned "I knew I should have never trusted Madison to go with you. She would probably never tell me anything." she muttered.
Eli's eyes blazed.
"Madison did nothing! Neither did Sakura nor Syaoran!"
Mrs. Medlock ingored Eli and pulled up the covers.
"You are to stay in bed" she ordered "You are not allowed to go into the gardens."
"Why!" Eli shouted at her "I'm not sick!"
Mrs. Medlock continued to ignore him as she walked out of the room. Half way down the hall she spotted Sakura making her way towards Eli's room. Angerly, she grabbed at Sakura's arm, and led her away from the room. Sakura tried to wriggle out of her grasp, but her grasp was just to strong.
"You are to stay away from Master Eli" Medlock ordered "He's a very ill child. We've all worked to hard to keep him alive and well. Just to have it ruined by a stupid little girl like you!"
Once they reached Sakura's room, Mrs. Medlock threw her in and bolted the door shut.
Sakura sighed in dismay.
"Oh no.. we were supposed to meet Syaoran in the garden today..." Sakura looked around the room till her eyes landed on the hidden door. Slowly she creept up to it and disappeared through the door. Half way down the hall she met Madison.
"What happend? I thought we were going to meet here and go to the garden?" Madison asked when she saw Sakura making her way towards her.
"Mrs. Medlock locked Eli and I into our rooms." Sakura informed her "We have to get him out!"
"I have his bedroom key" Madison whispered urgently to Sakura. From her pocket she drew out a single brass key.
Togeather they silently made their way down the hall towards Eli's room. Once their Madison unlocked his door and motioned for Eli to follow. Quickly they made their way out of the manor and into the moors.
Soon the sun had set over head casting long shadows over the garden. Ben had started to make a fire in the middle of clearing in the garden. Syaoran sat beside the fire playing his flute to some music. Madison seperated the hay into piles. Sakura danced joyfully around the flame.
"What do you plan to do master?" Ben asked Eli as Eli took a big handful of some hay.
"We are going to do some magic" Eli informed him. "When I grow up, I'm going to do lot's of experiments this is my very first one."
Ben nodded not sure whether he understood or not.
"Are you ready?" Eli asked everybody. They all nodded and stood up and formed a circle around the dancing flame.
Eli started the chanting first.
"Oh ally goya oh obie I-ah-tah, I-tay ah goya oh boy I-ah-tah, GO!"
Sakura, Syaoran and Madison joined in the chanting. They each circled the flame chanting to the magical words. Finally Eli stopped circling the flame and threw in a piece of hay into the fire, and started the real magic.
"Oh great magic, please come to me!" Eli pleaded into the flame "Send me my father here, set his spirt free!"
Sakura, Syaoran, and Madison continued to chant faster in the background. Again Eli repeated the verse.
"Oh great magic, please come to me! Send me my father here, set his spirt free!" Eli called into the flame.
"GO!" they all shouted at the same time. They each stopped dancing and chanting and looked up into the night sky. As they watched some of the peices of the hay float up into the air and get carried by the wind.
Somewhere far away Lord Craven sat asleep in a chair beside a cozy fire. He wore a frown upon his face as he was dreaming. In his dream he thought back to the time when Lilias had died.
**Lord Craven's Dream/Flashback**
"I'm going the do the garden Archie!" She called up to him from the ground below.
"I'll be right there!" he called down toward her. He still had some papers he needed to do.
Later when he was almost done finishing with the papers Ben (a local gardener) ran up to Craven.
"Master! Master! Come quick!" He called "She's fallen off of it! She's fallen off of it!"
Craven stood up very fast and ran towards the man.
"What do you mean she has fallen off of it?!" he hissed at the man "Tell me!" he yelled as he grabbed onto his collar.
"Please sir... it wasn't my fault" Ben whispered as a tear slid down his cheek "I was tending to the roses and next thing I knew I heard a scream and I saw her fall off of it."
"LILIAS!" Craven shouted as he ran down path towards the garden. What he saw made his breatheing stop. The branch that was holding up the swing had snapped and had fallen ontop of her. Lilias was underneath it blood running down her head.
"Archie!" she choked out "Please help me, I think I'm going....into...labor!"
"You!" he shouted at Ben "Get the branch off of her"
Ben did as he was told and as soon as it was off, Archie saw the seriousness of it. The tree had crashed down upon her barely missing her stomach. The shock of it had caused her water to break at a very early time.
"It will be alright" Craven soothed her "Just do the breatheing exercises we've been practicing."
Pretty soon all of the manor's help was down at the garden trying to help their mistress deliever a baby. Finally a baby boy was born, but he was very small because he still had atleast a month to go in the womb. Sweat ran down Lilias face as she stared at her baby.
"Take good care of him Archie" She whispered. "Just remember.. I'll always be in the garden." she whispered.
"Wait Lilias!" Archie shouted.
"Just remember... I'll always be in the garden" Her voice echoed in his head. "In the garden.....In the garden...."
**End of Cravens Dream/Flashback**
"Lilias no!" Lord Craven shouted as he awoke from his dream. Sweat poured down his face as he thought back to that terrible day. Something was different about the dream though, she had told him she would always be in the garden. His eyes flickered at a sudden realization.
"Quick!" he shouted to a near by servent "I must go! Fetch me my horse!" he shouted at the boy.
"Right" with that the boy ran away to fetch him his horse.
The very next day Craven arrived at the manor. The horses hooves hit the pavement as they trotted up to the manor. A little servent girl who was working outside saw his approaching carrige and cried out:
"Mrs. Medlock! Mrs. Medlock! The Lord has arrived!"
Hurriedly, Mrs. Medlock ran outside to meet him, but he pushed right past her and into the manor.
"Where is my son?!" he demanded to her.
A perplexed look came upon her face.
"Why.. he's in his room of course." she answered him.
He already started up the stairs before she could finish. When he reached his bedroom he threw open the door, and walked inside. Only to find it was occupied by no one.
"Where is my son?!" he hissed at her.
"H-he should be here" she stammered walking up the bed and pulling back the covers. "He was just here...."
Craven sighed and looked up from the bed only to find the portrait of Lilias smiling back at him. She was no longer hidden behind the curtain. His hands turned clamy as he stared at the picture.
"What has happend?" he whispered to himself.
"It's because of that wretched girl Sakura my lord!" Mrs. Medlock added fastily trying to use Sakura as her scapegoat "She has created such a mess of everything, I can no longer control her."
At hearing Sakura's name Craven started to head towards her room.
"She has to be sent away!" Medlock called after him as she chased him down the hall.
Once he reached Sakura's room he tried to open the door but to find it was locked. A frown crossed her face.
"You have to lock her in?" he questioned.
"W-well I had to!" Mrs. Medlock stammered opening the door into her room "That just shows you how wild she is!"
When the door was open Craven walked inside also to find that Sakura was not in it. Her bed had never been touched, and some left over lunch from the other day was still sitting at her table.
"Where could they be?!" he shouted at no one.
The little servant that had seen him coming stepped into the room shyly and said:
"Maybe.... they are in the garden." she whispered.
Craven's eyes widened of course the garden!
Mrs. Medlock's eyes widened.
"That's impossible!" she cried at him. It was to late, however, because Craven was already making his way down the hall. "I've done my best! Really I have if it wasn't for that wretched girl..." She was cut off when Craven turned around and glared at her.
"She is just a child Medlock" he hissed at her "And I left you in charge!" he said pointing his cane at her.
They walked down the stairs and when the reached the bottom Craven turned around and glared her.
"You stay here!" he barked "And when I come home, you better have resigned from your post.
"Y-yes sir" She whispered "I shall resign."
With that Craven made his way outside. Mrs. Medlock fell onto a step and cried into her hands.
Once outside he made his way into the garden. He saw that door was slightly ajar he slowly stepped in only to be greeted by children's laughter.
"You can't catch us!" Sakura cried as she ran behind a bush to hide. They were playing 'Blind Man's Bluff'.
Syaoran ran behind her and hid also. Madison ducked behind a near by tree.
Eli took a careful step forward waving his hand this way and that trying to feel for his friends. Craven started to make his way down the steps towards Eli. His eyes widened when he saw him. Eli was actually up and walking and he looked healthy! From Sakura's hiding place she saw Craven making his way towards Eli. Sakura's emerald eyes widend as she nudged for Syaoran to look.
They silently watched as Eli slowly made his way towards his father. One of his hands brushed his father's chest. It didn't feel like Syaoran, slowly he reached his hands up to touch the face. He felt long hair, and a mustache. A gasp was issued from his mouth as he pulled down his blindfold. What he saw made his blue eyes widen even more.
"Father!" Eli gasped.
"Eli... your...walking" He choked out, almost in tears.
"The magic worked! I can't believe that it worked!" Eli shouted happily.
Craven pulled Eli into a tight hug. Slowly Sakura and Syaoran came out of their hiding place. Madison stepped out from behind the tree, tears glistening her eyes. Craven looked up and into the garden. The whole thing was in full bloom and neatly cared for.
"The garden" he choked out.
"Yes!" Eli shouted "Here let me show you." with that Eli started to lead Craven down the path. Madison stepped from behind the tree and curtsied infront of the Lord.
"My Lord" she said.
"Why Madison isn't it? Hello! There is no need to curtsy infront of me." Craven said as he stared at the girl. He then looked to his son and saw the love that was in his eyes as he stared at the young girl. He then knew what his son was feeling. "Please join us!"
Madison smiled thankfully and walked up beside Eli. Slowly Eli took her hand in his and started to walk down the path. Madison blushed furiously, but it quickly subsided as she walked along beside him.
Sakura watched as they walked down the path and sighed to herself. She felt like she wasn't wanted by no one. No one would ever love her the way Eli loved for Madison. A tear slid down her cheek as she ran out of the garden.
Syaoran saw this and quickly ran after her.
"Sakura!" he called "What's wrong?!"
She ignored him and continued to run down the path. Finally she stopped when she came to an open field. She sat down upon the moor which she loved so much and cried.
Syaoran quietly walked up beside her and sat down. He layed a hand upon her shoulder and whispered:
"What's wrong?"
"I-I'm not wanted" She whispered "N-no one will ever love me."
"That's not true" Syaoran whispered. He lifted her head to look at him. Her emearld eyes were full with tears as she stared at him. "I know someone that loves you."
Sakura sniffed "Who?"
"Me" He whispered. Sakura's eyes widened as he said that. "I've loved you since the first time I ever saw you. I knew beyond that icy barrier there was a sweet girl ready to come out. I knew I must melt that barrier and find the real girl within in it....and.... I did" Syaoran whispered.
"You do?" Sakura sniffed "You really do?"
"Of course" Syaoran whispered back "I just hope you feel the same way."
A smile spread over Sakura's face as she stared into his intense amber eyes.
"Of course I do!" she exclaimed happily.
With that they slowly leaned forward till their lips met. Sakura melted as she kissed the only boy she would ever love. Eli walked around the corner calling for her and when he saw the scene before him his eyes widened. Madison smiled at the sweet scene.
"Let's go show the manor what you can do my son" Craven whispered into Eli's ear not wanting to disturb the cute scene before him. Eli nodded and made his way back through the garden and up to the manor.
Mrs. Medlock sighed as she drunk a cup of tea. Out of the corner of her eye she saw something coming up over the hill. She gasped when she saw what it was.
"Master Eli!" She shouted.
The whole kitchen ran to the window to see what the fuss was all about. There coming up over the hill was Eli laughing, smiling, and running! Craven walked beside him also smiling at his son. Madison giggled happily as she ran along side Eli. Sakura rode behind Syaoran on his white pony.
"Master Eli..." Medlock whispered "He can walk....it's a miracle"

"Let's go show the manor what you can do my son" Craven whispered into Eli's ear not wanting to disturb the cute scene before him. Eli nodded and made his way back through the garden and up to the manor.
Mrs. Medlock sighed as she drunk a cup of tea. Out of the corner of her eye she saw something coming up over the hill. She gasped when she saw what it was.
"Master Eli!" She shouted.
The whole kitchen ran to the window to see what the fuss was all about. There coming up over the hill was Eli laughing, smiling, and running! Craven walked beside him also smiling at his son. Madison giggled happily as she ran along side Eli. Sakura rode behind Syaoran on his white pony.
"Master Eli..." Medlock whispered "He can walk....it's a miracle"
