Midnight- Chapter 1- Run away!
Once upon a time in the Kingdom of Feral, there lived a king who by chance had fallen in love with a young peasant girl. It was rumored that he had married her in a small chapel in the Indigo Mountain against his family's wishes. Unfortunately for them this was considered to be treason. The people of Feral were enraged that the King would go as far as to marry a commoner who was unknown amongst their villages. They wanted the girl to be put to death but could not come within close proximity of her being as long as she was under the king's protection and this is where our story begins…
Flames burst out around their cloaked forms, its orange tongues licking out in anger, but they stood there in the center of the chaos staring hopelessly at one another. There was nothing they could do, they had started this and they would not be the ones to finish it. The people of Feral had revolted after so many years they'd finally revolted. Growing so disgusted with the fact that their queen had once been a peasant, they'd decided that they no longer needed a king. With their torches they lit the castle on fire brutally murdering most of the royal family and any guards that stood in their way. They wanted a slaughter and that was what they would get.
"Sierra" the handsome man dressed in a black cloak whispered to the smaller figure in navy blue cloak holding a small bundle wrapped in black cloth.
"Listen to me Sierra" He pleaded as he unwrapped a small pendant from a the white handkerchief he held and pressed it firmly in her small hand "Take our son and the Clow book and flee this place, please Sierra you must leave now they are getting closer."
Tears flowing from her cerulean she furiously shook her head her brown locks flying over her shoulders.
"No! I will not leave you, not like this." She cried holding the bundle closer to her body
The man sighed and brought the woman to his chest for a small embrace.
"You must leave, think about our son, Fujitaka, if not for you then at the least do it for him, so that he may grow up to be a strong man like all the Kinomoto's before him, please Sierra, I beg of you just leave."
"B…but where will I go?" she stuttered helplessly
"Head south, to the Li Kingdom and look for the Daidouji's, their family has been allied with mine since before we came within possession of the Clow book. They will take you in no questions asked."
Wind lightly ruffled his hair as he bent towards the bundle and silently removed the cloth to reveal a small baby with crystal blue eyes.
"Fujitaka, my son, this might be the last time I may ever see you again and you should know that I love you with all that is in me, you will be going some place far away from this retched kingdom and all I ask of you is that you take care of you mother, for my sake." Kissing his son's forehead he looked up and gazed into his wife's teary eyes.
"Sierra leave now" he said as he opened a secret doorway near a huge statue and pushed them both in with a look of longing on his face "I do not know what will happen to me but I do can not leave with you no matter how much I wish I could, take care and never forget my love for you and Fujitaka, farewell"
He closed the passage way as he turned; drawing his sword he swiftly left the room disappearing into the furious flames.
'Run, run, and run' it was all she could think as she forced her feet to move through the ever thickening forest.
She was tired, thirsty and completely exhausted and yet she refused to give in to her needs. She had made a promise to find freedom and she would, even if it killed her. Her son squirmed impatiently in her arms and somehow she just knew that he was hungry.
"Shh, little one" she murmured rocking him back and forward as she continued to run. Her feet aching and bloodied since she had lost her shoes during her escape.
"We're almost there" She cried silently as the Li kingdom came into view.
'Two days, two days' she thought as they near the edge of the forest 'It's been two whole days since I started out, oh what I ever did to deserve this kind of punishment is beyond me'
Suddenly as memories from the past weighed down on her she collapsed onto the cold muddied floor. Clutching her son close to her pale form, the world immediately went black
.
Two hours later Sierra awoke to a soft humming sound.
"Oh hello there" a small woman appeared as soon as she opened her eyes
"You were out for quite a while" she commented as she helped Sierra to sit up
Glancing around the white washed room she realized that she was no longer in the forest and that something was missing.
"Please miss" she cried hoarsely "My son, where is he"
Blinking the young woman looked as though she had to think about it before everything finally clicked
"Oh you mean that darling little baby boy you were holding when we found you" She tossed her black hair over her shoulder in a flippant manner
"He's outside with my husband Deon" she smiled "SO cute!"
"Oh I'm Resa by the way, Resa Daidouji"
In recognition on her last name Sierra's eyes began to water in happiness as she told her story to the obsidian haired maiden.
'I'm finally free' she thought to herself 'Finally'
Little did she know that her freedom would only last for 30 years. When everything would take a turn for the worst and the secret of the Clow would be revealed to the world.
