~The Untold Story~
Chapter 6
Meiling looked around at everyone and sighed happily with her arm still around Misty's shoulders.
"Oh! I'm so happy I've found all of my friends again! I've missed you all, so very much! But enough of that, let's find a way out of here...Anybody got any ideas?"
The room was silent.
"No one has ANY ideas?" asked Meiling, a little confounded.
"I know of a way out," said someone. Everyone looked around at each other, but saw no one that the voice could have come from.
"I'm over here!!" said the voice again. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a short, slender girl with long, black hair tied up into a high pony tail. Her eyes were pale purple and her skin was just the right tone for her features.
"You know how to get out of here?" Sakura asked her.
"Yeah, sure...It's the way I came in; Follow me." she said as she flipped her midnight black hair and strolled away. Everyone followed her to another one of the mall's many entrances, where she pointed to a small crack in the wall.
"That was how I got in," she said smiling and still pointing at the wall. Everyone looked at each other and back at her.
"Umm, how are we supposed to get through the wall, little girl?" asked Meiling, a little unkindly. The girl shot her a glance with her intense violet eyes and said,
"I am NOT a little girl; For your information, I'm 15 years old; And I have a name you know, and it's not 'little girl'," she said sarcastically.
"Well then, what IS your name?" asked Eriol.
The girl smiled sweetly and said, "My name is Mina."
"Well then 'Mina', how are we supposed to get through that wall there?" asked Meiling in her usual sarcastic tone. Mina eyed her again and pulled a rectangular shape from her pocket. She held it up in front of her sparkling eyes and whispered, "Through card, I command you to come forth."
With those words, the card began to glow and a beam of light shot out of the top and grew until it showed the form of a tall, slender looking woman with a long robe and a jewel in the middle of her forehead. The being stood in front of Mina until she commanded it to take everyone through the crack in the wall and on to the outside of the mall. The being turned into the light beam again and swept around all of them, all of a sudden, they were standing at the entrance of the mall. She called the being back into it's card form and placed it back in her pocket. Sakura and Syaoran looked at each other.
"Syaoran," Sakura whispered, "where did she get the Through Card?! I thought that the Sakura Cards were tucked safely away in our basement! How are we going to that back from her?!"
"Sakura, I don't know...I'm not even sure how she obtained the card in the first place...maybe...we should ask her," responded Syaoran. Sakura nodded at his suggestion and walked over to Mina. But before she could say anything to her about anything that happened, Mina spoke up.
"Here," she said handing Sakura the 'missing' Card, "I found this and received a vision from it; It told me to find The Card Mistress and return it to her...and I can sense that it's you, so take it," Mina said smiling. Sakura didn't know what to say.
"Thank you...But where did you find it?"
"Oh I found it lying on the street corner, I'm not sure why such a powerful object was just lying on the side of the road, but that's where I found it," she said smiling once more.
Sakura returned Mina's smile with one of her own famous smiles.
"Thank you again, Mina..." Sakura replied.
"Anytime! I'm glad to help," and with that Mina ran off into the parking lot of the mall and vanished. Misty walked over to her mother who was still looking at the 'Through Card'.
"Mom? Are you alright?" she asked with concern in her voice.
"What?" Sakura responded looking over at her daughter, "Oh Misty, I'm fine, don't worry about me."
After a long, awkward silence, Misty said:
"Mom, this still isn't over." Sakura looked at Misty strangely.
"What do you mean by that, Misty?"
"Well, for one we still have to find out where the people in the mall disappeared to and why they disappeared in the first place...Then we have to bring them back and stop whatever is doing this."
Sakura smiled at her daughter; Syaoran had been right, Misty did have a 'good head on her shoulders' and she knew that Misty could help stop whatever this force was.
"I know Misty, I know..."
Just then, a huge force began to pull Sakura back towards the mall entrance. (AN: weird, huh?) Misty held tightly to her mother's hand. Syaoran saw what was happening and rushed over to help her. Then everyone else, Meiling, Eric and Eriol, rushed over as well and joined in on the pulling...But they couldn't stop it. Whatever was pulling Sakura, wasn't going to let go and pretty soon, the force became too much for everyone to handle. Misty and Eric were hurled back onto the street and everyone else was sucked up by the incredible force and vanished.
"Oh my gosh....," said Misty as she focused her tear-filled emerald eyes on the mall entryway. Eric was just as surprised, only he couldn't say anything. He looked over at Misty, who looked as if she was about to burst into tears, and crawled over to her. (AN: they were still on the ground, ok!)
"Are you ok?" he asked her as nicely as possible. Misty looked over at Eric with tears in her eyes still and smiled weakly.
"Oh, I'm fine...Are you ok?" she asked him nervously.
Eric looked at her, somewhat stunned.
"Oh, yes I'm OK..."
They just kinda sat there for a little while longer, until Eric suggested that they go rest somewhere other than the parking lot. Misty agreed and rose to follow him to a near-by bench (AN: I just noticed that there's always a 'near-by' anything when they need it...I guess that's why this is a story...ok, moving on). They sat there for quite some time in silence, not really knowing what to say to each other. They were both extremely tired and hungry, but they didn't really wanna say anything to each other about it...But then, Eric's stomach spoke for itself.
"Oh...I , uh, guess I'm hungry.... (well DUH!)...You wanna go get something to eat?" he asked, hopefully.
"Uh, yeah, sure that sounds great...He he... Um, but could we kinda, I dunno, clean ourselves up first? Please?" she said with a cheesy smile planted on her face. Eric looked down at himself and back up at her. (AN: I've gotten a few comments about this one. People want to know why Misty would be preoccupied with cleaning herself up when her mother and father just vanished. My answer to this is: she was attempting to take her mind off of the situation, don't tell me you've never tried that before. And besides, she knew that where ever her parents were that they could fend for themselves. That explained, we'll move on.)
"I think that might be a pretty good idea, huh."
"Yeah..."
So they decided to clean up a little before going to eat something. Eric walked Misty to her house and was just about to leave her to go clean up himself.
"Oh no!" Misty cried, stomping her foot on the pavement and searching her pockets.
"What's wrong?" asked Eric, looking back over at her.
"I have a key to my house....But my key is in my purse, which is kinda still at the mall...Oops...," she explained, while shuffling her feet.
*Hmm, I wonder if she really DID loose it or if she's just saying that....Whoa! What am I thinking! She couldn't think of me that way...I mean, we just, well, met...na...I just, won't worry about it.*
"Well, I guess you could always clean up at my house...You could borrow some of Mika's clothes, I mean ya know if you were considering taking a shower or anything like that...," Eric replied nervously.
*Why am I so nervous! She's just a girl! My sister's a girl and I never get this nervous around her...What's wrong with me!!*
Misty hesitated, but then smiled that wonderfully generous smile of hers. (she got that from Sakura...hehe).
"Well, I guess that'd be OK...Do you wanna go, uh, now?" she asked, trying as hard as possible not to be shy. Eric blushed a little, then replied,
"Uh, yeah...Come on, let's go...," And with that the two teens walked off down the silver sidewalk. (he he, I like that, it sounds cool)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, in the "vanishing pit" ....(hey, I don't know what to call it!!)
"Syaoran! Syaoran!! Where are you! Syaoran!! It's Sakura!" cried, well, Sakura while floating around in some kind of "other realm".
She was trying to move around by "swimming", but she wasn't getting anywhere.
"Syaoran!! Where are you!! Meiling! Eriol! Anybody! Where is everyone?!" she hollered again.
But there was no answer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In another part of the "pit"....
"Sakura!! Sakura!! Are you here?! Sakura!! It's Syaoran!!" said, duh, Syaoran.
*Where did everyone go? And Misty! She's alone with...Eric...oh man, I've gotta find Sakura and then a way out!*
After that, he began chanting something and the screwed up gravity returned to normal, but he was kinda still floating when he chanted, so he fell flat on his face.
"Ouch...," he said rubbing his face and rising up into a standing position, "that just kinda hurt!"
"Now to find Sakura...But where do I even start looking?!"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Around that same time...
Eric had just emerged from his shower (which is in his room so don't get any nasty ideas OK!) and was drying his hair with a towel. Misty was just kinda sitting in Meiling's room; she really wanted to take a shower, but at the same time she didn't (hmm, I wonder why).
*This is crazy, I'm just gonna take a shower...I look like a train wreck.*
And with that, she rose from Meiling's bed, entered the bathroom, shut the door and locked it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
About 2 hours later...
Misty came out of Mika's room in some of her clothes (AN DESCRIPTION: a tight, baby blue shirt with silver stars all over it, she likes stars OK, and black, baggy, nylon pants). Eric was sitting on the couch thinking, as usual, about whatever. There was a TV in the room, but never really watched it, because he usually sat on the couch staring out the window. In a way, I suppose that was like his TV. He didn't see Misty enter the room, so he continued staring. Misty sat down on the couch opposite of him and looked out the window as well. Finally, she decided to break the silence.
"What's so interesting?"
Eric was startled by the sudden change in volume, and jumped up a little, making him fall off the couch. Misty smiled and laughed slightly.
"Oh, sorry..," she said continuing to smile.
Eric turned scarlet and jumped back up into a standing position.
"Oh, I didn't see you come in," he said, still blushing like mad.
"Apparently not...Well, what were you doing anyway?"
"Me? Nothing...just thinking that's all," Eric replied as he sat back down on the couch.
"You sure think a lot..." *What does he think about anyway? There's not really too much to think about....or is there?*
"Oh...yeah I do...," he replied, not really knowing what else to say.
Misty smiled and said, "Well, maybe she should get that bite to eat, huh."
"Oh, yeah...let's go...," Eric said standing up and walking to the door.
Misty followed him and they were off to dinner. (that's so cute...^^)
Not too much was said at dinner, they just ate, paid and left. They decided they should go back to the mall to see what they could find out about the force that had sucked up everyone. They were walking down the sidewalk again and stopped a little short of the entrance. They glanced over at one another and took deep breaths.
"You ready?" asked Eric, slightly nervous.
"Ready as I'll ever be," said Misty, smiling weakly.
They sighed again and walked up to the entrance, not knowing what to expect.
