Sakura Avalon leapt off the train platform gracefully and looked around the Li Kingdom. "Okay. This is my chance to start a new life and I'm not going to ruin it myself." She thought. Sakura had been raised in an orphanage ever since the age of five. Now twenty-one, she was finally out of the orphanage. She did not know who or where she was. The life in the orphanage had been miserable.
Everyone was mean and nasty to her except for Aunt Mirelle. She always told Sakura the best stories and gave her the biggest bowls of porridge whenever the caretaker was not looking. Sakura smiled wistfully to herself and tugged absently at the silver locket hanging around her neck. She missed Aunt Mirelle. A lot. Asking her to mop the floor, tuck the younger children into bed (not that she minded), wash the dishes…
Once when she slipped on a banana skin, the caretaker had burst into hysterical laughter before imitating her falling, causing everyone but her to laugh. But Aunt Mirelle was different. She had helped Sakura up and applied medication for her. Sakura dug into her bag and found a small photograph of Aunt Mirelle and herself. The picture was taken on her twenty-first birthday.
A single tear trickled down her fair cheeks as she looked at the picture of Aunt Mirelle. "I'm sorry, Aunt Mirelle. I'm so sorry I ran away. I just couldn't take it anymore! Please forgive me." She said, sobbing bitterly hoping that her only friend would forgive her. Realizing that she was tugging on the star-shaped locket, Sakura removed it from her neck. It was a beautiful pink diamond locket with small intricate sapphires surrounding the locket.
Aunt Mirelle had said that the locket was already on her neck when she was found and also commented that perhaps it held a clue to her past. Sakura closed her eyes and tried to remember where she was born, whom she was and what her name was. But no memories floated through her mind. Sighing with disappointment, she placed the locket on her neck once more and wiped away her tears.
She picked up her small bag, which contained clothes and started walking. Catching sight of a small town, she decided to try and make her living there. Looking at the people there, she sighed in relief when she saw that their clothing were similar to hers. Catching sight of a small motel, Sakura decided to stay there for a night before contemplating what to do the next morning so she started walking to the inn. "I'd like to have a room for one night." Sakura said politely to a man who looked like the owner of the motel. He nodded dumbly, amazed at her beauty.
He gave her both the key and the number of her room. Instead of going up the lift to check on her room, Sakura decided to sit down for a rest and lunch. Placing her bag on the floor, she was about to call for lunch when a lean man approached her table. "Hey babe. Alone? You must be bored. How about letting me entertain you?" he said, reaching out to stroke her arm. "Leave me alone!" Sakura screeched at the stranger. "I like a girl with an attitude like yours." He continued, wrapping an arm around her slim waist.
"Get your filthy hands off me you creep!" Sakura screamed, managing to wriggle out of his arms. She then hurriedly took her bag and ran out of the motel, not even remembering to return the room key to the motel owner. She ran until she could not run anymore. When she finally stopped, she realized that many people were staring at her. Embarrassed, she could only blush as she forced her already exhausted legs to walk further on.
A beautiful castle loomed ahead of her and she decided to try her luck there. Reaching the castle, she saw how elegant it was up-close. 'It's huge!' Sakura thought to herself. Scanning the place with her eyes, she spotted a beautiful dark-haired girl watering the plants. The girl, realizing the she was being watched after some time, used her beautiful amethyst eyes to look curiously at Sakura. Rushing forward, Sakura blurted out, "I'm Sakura. Do you have a place for a job in the palace?"
The girl's amethyst eyes brightened and she smiled. Grabbing Sakura's hand, she ran into the castle, passing by so many rooms until Sakura's vision started to blur. She finally stopped at a place, which looked like a kitchen. "Chiharu! I've found someone who's willing to take up the job of being Prince Syaoran's servant! This is Sakura and I'm Tomoyo. Meet Chiharu. She's the head of the servants." Tomoyo said.
"Are you sure you want to take up this job?" Chiharu asked gently.
