going on! Syaoran is now racing against the clock to get back to Sakura.
What's going to happen? Will Denitar succeed and take the world? Read to
find out!*
Charmed
Syaoran closed the book and looked into the Friar's eyes with equal fright. The Friar sat next to the worried boy and looked him over. Something about this child wasn't sitting well with him; but what could it be?
"Syaoran, you must return to the castle at once. You must save Sakura!" The Friar said excitedly. Syaoran looked confused as he touched the sword at his side.
"I am at a loss. All this time I was taught to despise her. I am supposed to take her life! How am I now supposed to rescue her?!" Syaoran cried, standing and putting his hands to his head, running them through his hair with frustration.
'All this time. . . I have been taught to hate. . . and it's been a lie. He was using me. . . my own father using me to. . . ' Syaoran thought. He cried out angrily, throwing his fist into the hard rock wall.
"You must go, Syaoran. It is not your destiny to kill Sakura." The Friar whispered, his voice dark. Syaoran nodded, still concentrating on the wall he had hit. No words were said as Syaoran tore out of the small room and ran out of the church toward the North woods. The Friar followed the boy, stopping at the doorway of the church, the book in hand.
'There is more to this that meets the eye.' The Friar thought, his jaw set as he watched the young man run out of the town.
Sakura's green eyes focused on the fire as she sat. She'd been in the castle for almost three hours, and she still couldn't warm herself. Something about the place was eating at her mind, screaming at her to leave.
'But Syaoran wouldn't leave me in any danger. . . ' Sakura thought to herself, looking at the floor of the room and sighing. She remembered his handsome face, and the moment they had met. How the rocks had jolted him but given her the gift she now hid from him. The rocks! One of them had writing on it, but she hadn't been able to make it out! How could she have forgotten that! Perhaps the clue to her destiny lied in those flat stones? Sakura stood and walked out toward the reception hall.
"Going so soon, Sakura?" Denitar called the moment Sakura put her hand on the door to open it. Sakura whipped around and came face to face with nothing; the room was empty. Denitar suddenly walked out from behind a pillar and smiled evilly at the girl, sending shivers down her spine.
"Lord Denitar! I was just going out to the North woods to gather some flowers!" Sakura lied. She had to get out of the castle and examine those stones. Denitar approached her, his dark eyes blazing with malice.
"Flowers. . . don't bloom this time of year. Unless you can create them, Charmed one. . . " Denitar growled. Sakura gasped; how did he know her secret? Sakura opened the door quickly and slipped out, slamming it before Denitar could get out as well. She began to run toward the woods, panic written on her pale face.
"That's it, make things much more sporting. . . " Denitar muttered, walking after the girl calmly.
Sakura ran full tilt until she came to the clearing. She stooped quickly beside the stones and scraped the moss off one of them. She gasped as she read the stone.
"So you have found your mother. She was always a fiery soul. Easy to destroy, though. I didn't take into account she would be drained of power after giving birth to you, the purest blood." Denitar yelled, standing at the edge of the clearing. Sakura's head snapped up, her eyes boiling with anger. Her mind was right, he was evil. He was the one she had to kill to save the world.
"You killed my mother. And my father." Sakura stated, her voice low and trembling with anger and fright. Denitar nodded, walking closer to the girl.
"Fujitaka was easy to kill. He was too concerned about saving his pregnant wife to worry about his own safety. She got away obviously, but he was not so fortunate. I enjoyed taking his life. . . " Denitar chided, making Sakura cry tears of anger. Her emerald eyes filled with salty tears as she adjusted her cloak, exposing her shoulders.
"I don't understand. I don't know what is happening here!" Sakura yelled, trying to stall the demonic man until she could think of a plan. Denitar howled with laughter and brought his hands together.
"Once I ruled this world with an iron fist. But a family rose against me, a family with Charmed blood. They defeated me, sending me into the pits of Hell. I bargained with the Devil, giving him my soul so I could return to this world and destroy all of the members of the Charmed line. It was prophesized that this would all happen, that a demon without a soul would return for his kingdom. I was content in this until I read about the pure Charmed one. It was then I had to destroy you, but your infidel of a mother hid you away. So I waited until you came of age, and waited for you to come to me. So today is the day, Sakura Kinomoto. This is the day you join your mother and father in the afterlife." Denitar explained, suddenly releasing his hands and pointing them at Sakura.
"Auugh!" Sakura screamed as a bolt of electricity flew toward her.
Syaoran was still running through the forest when he heard Sakura's screaming from within the forest.
"Sakura! The clearing!" Syaoran cried aloud, his amber eyes filled with worry and terror. He sprinted on toward the clearing and burst into it in time to see Sakura dodge a bolt of electricity sent from his father. Sakura landed hard on the ground and rolled back up to her feet, anticipating another attack.
"Father!" Syaoran burst, drawing Denitar's attention to him instead of Sakura. Denitar's smile only widened as he looked at the boy, who had a look of anger written on his young face.
"Syaoran! You are just in time to destroy your enemy." Denitar said, gesturing toward Sakura, whose eyes widened as she realized Syaoran was supposed to kill her. Syaoran looked at Sakura, who looked at him with confused green eyes.
'That was your quest. . . to kill me.' Sakura thought, her heart breaking at the thought of the person she'd grown so fond of so soon wanting her life.
"I will not kill her." Syaoran spat, walking toward his father, sword in hand. Denitar threw his head back and laughed.
"I don't need you to, then. I was only using you to do my work anyway! After I destroy the girl I will kill you too." Denitar cackled.
"You would kill your only son?" Syaoran asked.
"You are not my son. You have no relation to me whatsoever! I stole you from your family when you were an infant! I raised you to become a warrior and kill my enemy for me. But your heart is apparently good, even after all these years of corruption." Denitar growled. Syaoran's eyes widened as he realized what Denitar was saying. Before he could do anything else, Denitar raised his hands and pointed them at Syaoran.
"No! Syaoran!" Sakura screamed as Denitar sent a bolt toward the boy. It hit Syaoran in the stomach, and the young man collapsed to the ground. Sakura ran to him, taking him into her arms as tears spilled out of her eyes and onto Syaoran.
"That was easy. Now it is your turn." Denitar said roughly, raising his hands into the air once again.
*And. . . yes. This is a good place for me to stop! Will Sakura be killed? Is Syaoran okay? Will Denitar rule the world after all? Read and review the next chapters to find out! Thanks!*
