CHAPTER 17

Madison called a cab and was heading towards Meilien's house. A half an hour ago she got a call from Sakura saying that she needed help. That Li was in trouble. Madison quickly shot out of bed, dressed and headed towards Meiliens. She couldn't help to think of what trouble Li could be in. When the cab finally pulled up to Meilien's house she quickly paid the driver and got out. The cab pulled away, looking for another rider. Madison walked up to the door but before she could knock, Meilien opened that door.

"Thanks for coming." Meilien said stepping aside to let Madison in. Madison walked in and saw Sakura sitting on Meilien's couch holding an ice pack to her cheek.

"What the hell happened to you?" Madison asked walking up to Sakura and sitting next to her. Sakura slightly smirked but shook her head.

"There isn't time to discuss that." Sakura said. Meilien nodded and sat across from the two girls after shutting the door.

"We need to figure out how to get Li back from those damn vampires." Meilien said. Madison looked at Meilien like she was stupid. Sakura couldn't help but to giggle.

"Vampires?" Madison said. Meilien and Sakura both nodded. Sakura sighed realizing that she will have to tell Madison her life story too.

"Ok, I guess I should start from the top. My mom and dad worked for the CIA. They both has a special assignment where they were suppose to end a war that involved vampires. But the vampires actually knew that they were coming and suprised my parents and their team. So the CIA team were all killed except my mom, well in a matter of speaking. They captured my mom and turned her into one of them. After she was a full vampire, they had my mom kill my father, her husband. Now my mom is after me wanting me to become a vampire so I can stand beside her as the war once again starts between the vampires and the warewolves. I normally didn't let my mother find any of my "weaknessess" but..." Sakura stopped. She wasn't sure if she should tell everyone what her weakness was. Madison stared at Sakura like she was just slapped. Meilien waited for Madison's reaction.

"So wait. Your telling me that Li was kidnapped by your mother because he likes you." Madison said. Sakura nodded as well did Meilien. Sakura couldn't believe that Madison actually put the pieces together.

"So Li does like you. I knew it!" Meilien said smiling. Sakura held back a blush. It wasn't every day that someone talked about her "love" life. Madison looked saden for a few seconds but then smiled.

"Hold onto him Sakura, he's a good guy. Him and I, we just weren't right." Madison said smiling. Sakura looked down to her feet and nodded slightly.

"Ok, this isn't getting us to how to save Li. Sakura has an idea but..." Meilien started. Madison looked at first Meilien and then Sakura then back again.

"But...?" Madison pushed on. Meilien smiled. She looked at Sakura who was also smiling.

"Why do I feel like this plan is going to be bad?" Madison asked. Meilien and Sakura started laughing leaving Madison confused.

Li woke up on the same cold, damp floor. He was hoping that this was just a bizarre and weired dream, but no, of course not. He was in some real deep shit. Li layed there still hearing that weired language. It pissed Li off that he didn't know what they were saying. Li took in a deep breath but felt a sudden sharp pain in his side. He forgot about his ribs, now he knew that his ribs were broken. Great! Just what he didn't need. He heard the footsteps walk up to him.

"He's looking pale. Britt, tend to his wounds. We need him alive!" He heard a women say that was now standing over him. "Could that be Sakura's mom?" Li asked himself. He felt himself being picked up by two people, one on each side.

"Sakura will find me. She'll kill you and everyone like you." Li said to who he thought was Sakura's mom. He saw the women's eyes narrow. She walked up to Li and took his face in her hands.

"Sakura is a strong girl, but she has weaknessess like every other human. Her weakness just so happens to be you. I would have never known that my one and only daughter would fall in love. Something so pethitic and deficient. Once she is standing by my side, she will never have another weakness. And you...you will regret ever looking at her." The women then turned on her heals and walked away. Li looked at the womens retreating form with narrow eyes.

"That's what you think bitch." Li said beneath his breath. She obviously didn't know her own daughter.
