Chapter I-Nearly Forgotten
There's a place so dark you can't see the end
(Skies cock back) and shock that which can't defend
The rain then sends dripping acidic questions
Forcefully, the power of suggestion…
-Linkin Park's 'Forgotten'
-Syaoran's POV-
"This is eerie, Syaoran." My friend Tomoyo seized my sleeve.
"Let go, Tomoyo, you're hurting me!" I frantically whispered to her.
But she didn't seem to hear. She was staring ahead into the darkness, clutching my arm.
"Tomoyo, please-you're tearing my shirt." I whispered to her. Finally, she lessened her grip so I was able to shake it free. It was very dark, darker than the darkest night. I squinted hard, trying to see. And these stupid 3- D glasses are making it more impossible. Why do I have to wear this, anyway? It's still the same with or without this. Suddenly, a gray light glowed dimly in front of us.
Tomoyo ducked low. I was feeling guilty, because even with the foggy light, I could see fear in her eyes.
I shouldn't have dragged her into this. But, in fact, I really enjoyed it, watching Tomoyo cower beside me.
I know, I know. That's terrible. I admit it. I am not a good friend to Tomoyo Daidouji. So I whispered "You know, we can always leave and…"
"AND FORGET THE CHANCE THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO DRESS YOU UP FOREVER?"
"Hey! I can't see the screen!" a voice called out behind us.
"Shhh!"
"Quiet" someone else, whispered.
We exchanged glances. She blushed and said quietly "Never"
Someone's in no way gonna give up, huh? Knowing that she was a little freaked out with horror movies, I dared her. Because when it comes to her fashion sense, she will do anything, even risking our friendship…
…just to make me wear those outlandish things she makes.
So to settle the dispute, I challenged her that if she can watch a horror movie without leaving the theater in the middle of the film…
"OKAY!" Tomoyo confidently shouted at me. We were at the park. And luckily there were no people nearby or they would also suffer from the impact of her shout.
"You know," I said to her, arranging my already messed up hair from her shout's force. "I'M NOT THAT DEAF OR ANYTHING!!" I equally yelled at her.
"Geez…you need not to be angry, my soon-to-be-mannequin." She said, sticking her tongue at me
"Well see about that, my scaredy-cat friend!" I threatened as I ran towards home. "See you tomorrow at the movies…scared as hell!"
Boy, and I did see her now. Knowing that she will not give up easily, I sat comfortably and decided to enjoy the movie.
Back to gray, dim light, it brightened a little and now we can see a long wooden fence. A hand-lettered sign appeared on the fence. It says: DANGER. KEEP OUT. THIS MEANS YOU.
"Really…" I thought sarcastically. Then the scraping sounds made Tomoyo and I gasp. She looked at me, with arching eyebrows and smiling teasingly. I could read her eyes. They say that 'the high-and-mighty' Syaoran Li can be a wimp too. I looked away from her. But unfortunately, my eyes landed on the screen. We were still beside on the fence, but the sounds now are louder. The view moved quickly along the fence. Faster. But the scraping sounds are still following us. Then an empty street stared ahead of us. I took a deep breath. Tomoyo gripped again my arm, but now harder. To our horror, the fence began to shake. Even the whole street shook. There was an earthquake! All of a sudden, two kids began to run towards a house. And not just a house, but also a haunted house. The boy with glasses reaches for the front door. "He looks like a nerd" I thought, not noticing that I have said that aloud. Tomoyo turned to me and said angrily,
"He's not. In fact, he's much cuter than you."
"So, can we forget about the mannequin thing now that you found a new Guinea pig?"
"Why, you the great Syaoran Li not brave enough to watch the movie anymore?"
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Quiet! Can you kids shut up?!" an angry voice said beside us.
Sigh…that's the second time today. Anyway, as we turned to the movie, Eriol, the boy with glasses, gestures to his cousin. The girl, if I remember, was named Sakura. Oh boy…the prettiest eyes I've ever seen. Its color was emerald green…Oh god. Looks like Tomoyo's contagious.
Well, the movie was about the cousins, who have come to visit their Aunt Nakuru. No one has seen her for years. Who wants to go in that crappy house, anyway?
As the two kids enter the house, the door behind them slams shut. They frantically rattle the doorknob. It's locked!
I looked worriedly at them. I know how this kind of movies work, and getting locked inside that kind of house is not a good idea.
"Aunt Nakuru!" Sakura yells. "Where are you?"
She and her cousin try to pry open the door. Furious, Eriol pounds on the wall beside the door with his fist. Then the wall shifts under his hand! He stumbles forward into blackness.
"Help!!" he cries. "Something's sucking me in!" Sakura tries to grab him but is pulled in with him.
Tomoyo, who was holding on my arm with her death grip, was leaning forward on her seat. She falls down, and before I could do anything, she unluckily drags me with her.
This is stupid! I thought. I quickly stood up, embarrassed. Now the audience will think that we are crazy. As I helped Tomoyo up, an eerie silence surrounded us. I looked around.
And an impossible, terrifying discovery stumbles before me.
We are not in the theater anymore.
Just cobwebs and a musty smell everywhere.

-Syaoran-
This is dumb.
Really, really dumb.
You know why, because THERE'S NO WAY TWO KIDS BE IN THE MOVIE THAT THEY ARE WATCHING!!!!!
And because it was a horror movie…Oh no…I'm afraid to continue…
A rustling sound made my spine tingle. "W-who's there?"
And before I can hear an answer, Tomoyo grabbed my arm and she shrieks in horror…
[Time for AN! Well, what do you think? Of course, after reading, the next thing to do is…*drumroll* REVIEW!! Tell me your rants, opinions, or anything! Just.do.it.in.a.nice.way. or the white poisonous foam from the red tube will find it's way towards you! *looks menacingly evil* Mwahahahahaha!
Zantie: It's poisonous?
PieJune: And what the hell are you doing here?!
Zantie: Just enjoying the movie with Syaoran… *gets into dreamy mode*
PieJune: Get out! Get out! Get out! Syaoran is for Sakura only! .
Zantie: Ok. So, I'll go for Eriol! *happily skips towards the door*
PieJune: WHAAT!! Oh, before I go, for the nth time, please review. Till next chapter!
*races after Zantie, dragging with her a HUGE mallet… *
