Cinderkura
Part 28
Producer: Rain Productions
Sakura slowly sat down on her saggy mattress. It had been a long time since Fongling had been living in the house. It was almost half a year. Six months of suffering from pain and worry.
'When is this going to end?' Sakura thought to herself. Memories of the ball and the Prince slowly drifted back into her mind.
"Syaoran. Will I ever see you again?" Sakura whispered softly.
-Prince Syaoran-
"My cherry blossom, will I ever see you again?" Syaoran whispered softly to himself on his back while staring at the ceiling.
There was a knock on the door.
'It's probably my mother' Syaoran got up and opened the door. When he saw who it was, he chuckled silently to himself. It WAS his mother.
"My dear son, what did you think of the ball?" Empress Yelan asked.
"It-It was fine" Syaoran answered.
Syaoran knew his mother would come to that question. He also knew that his mother would ask him if he found anyone of his liking.
"Did you find any female worthy of your eye?" Empress Yelan said wisely.
Sighing, Syaoran started to say no- but he suddenly had a vision of Sakura, so beautiful in her smiling features and soft and flowing appearance. He blushed suddenly. Queen Yelan smiled to herself. She had seen her sons blush and had also secretly kept watch at the ball. She had seen the beautiful girl he was dancing with. The young girl had stood out at the ball. Out of all the girls, she was the most distinct.
"Ummmm-.." Syaoran didn't know how to answer this question. He was really stuck this time. Should he tell his mother, or keep it a secret to himself? But if he didn't tell her, she would find out anyways if he chose to marry her.
All of a sudden, a messenger knocked on the door.
"Your majesty, the King wants to see you"
Yelan didn't turn but answered. "Alright, tell him I will be right there"
"Yes your majesty" Then the messenger left.
Syaoran breathed in relief. He didn't have to answer that question. Empress Yelan looked at Syaoran sternly then left.
-Sakura-
"Cinderkura! Get down here!" Fongling yelled upstairs to where Sakura was sleeping.
Sakura had been so tired from the ball last night so she had overslept. Also, she had forgotten to set her alarm clock. Grabbing the pink clock from the bed stand, she gasped at the time. Scrambling to get up, she threw her covers off and raced down the stairs to the kitchen. Downstairs, Fongling was waiting for her.
"What were you thinking?! What time is it! I'm standing here, hungry, and you're up there, sleeping dreaming about whatever fantasy you have! I need to get to work!" Fongling screamed. Then her voice level changed, and a threatening sweet voice overtook. "I wonder what would happen if your father was to end up with cancer?"
"NO!!" Sakura screamed frantically. "No! No no no!! Please don't, I-I'll promise you I'll do anything you want!"
Sakura was desperate and Fongling knew it. This was an advantage, but Fongling didn't take it. She believed, and felt that something important and spectacular would happen these couple of weeks. Something that involved human life. A baby perhaps. Fongling was not willing to use her energy to yell and harm the small embryo that was inside of her that second. Especially if her energy was used towards Sakura.
"It's quite alright, I am feeling especially happy this very moment and do not wish to do anything that will be of bad luck to me" Then with a huff, Fongling turned and entered the living room waiting for Sakura to start on the breakfast.
A couple minutes later, a beautiful scent of scrambled eggs and bacon filled the air. Fongling entered the kitchen and sat down to the table where a plate of breakfast was waiting for her.
After Fongling had finished eating, her two daughters, Meiling and Feiling filed into the room where another two plates of breakfast was waiting.
"Eww! Cinderkura, this egg is too cooked! There's black on the edges! I don't want it! Make me another one!" Feiling insisted.
Sakura winced. They were on a low source of food right now. She didn't want to mention it, but she had to.
"Umm.There isn't a lot of food left right now" Sakura got ready for the yelling.
"What!! What do you mean?" Feiling asked heat rising.
"What I'm saying is that we don't have any more food. I was wondering if you guys wanted to buy some food-." Sakura trailed off.
"No!-" Feiling started but was stopped by Fongling.
"I'll give you some money and you can go today" Fongling said casually while taking a sip of her coffee.
Sakura, Feiling and Meiling were both shocked.
"But mother-" Feiling started to speak.
"I have made my decision my dear daughters" Fongling then left to her room.
Sakura was curious why. Did she want to harm her father while she was away? But Fongling would be at work. Did she want to lure her to pass through the door so she would harm her own father?
'This is too good to be true' Sakura thought to herself. She was afraid to ask. What if this was NOT a trick, and she asked making herself lose a chance at seeing the outside world again?
A minute later, Fongling went back into the kitchen with a sheet of paper and some coloured sheets of notepaper. When Fongling approached closer, Sakura saw this as a list of the things she was supposed to buy. Also, the coloured pieces of paper were yen (Are yen colourful?).
"Here is a list of the things I want you to buy and here is the money. Don't you dare use the money for your own uses!" Fongling said the last couple of words bitterly.
Fongling then thrust the yen and the list carelessly into Sakura's waiting hands but carelessly enough that the objects fell to the ground. Then Fongling exited the room to work. Sakura watched her leave before she bent down to pick up the yen and the list. Just as her hand touched the papers, a long, fat, and puffy foot with a dirty green sock stepped over Sakura's soft hand.
Sakura gasped in pain as the dirty foot put more weight on her hand. Two cackles were heard. Sakura looked up to see a laughing Feiling above her. Sakura took this chance to pull her hand, the yen and the list out from under Feiling's foot.
Feiling realized this and growled under her breath. She bent down and pushed Sakura to the ground.
"Who do you think you are? If I want to step on your hand, I will!" Feiling snarled then stood up straight preparing to step on Sakura's stomach. Just as her foot made contact with Sakura, Meiling pulled her sister backwards making Feiling trip.
The only way Sakura could tell Feiling and Meiling apart was their hair. Meiling liked to put her hair into two buns that had hair trailing from them while Feiling liked pulling it into complicated and sophisticated styles that required a lot of bobby pins and clips. Also, Feiling liked to put a lot of make up on. She used to be into pink make up, but now since she found out that the Prince liked green, she had gotten loads of green coloured make up.
"Mei! What the hell are you doing?! Can't you see I'm trying to punish her?!" Feiling yelled at her sister.
"Fei! I know that!" Meiling tried to hold her sister from hurting her. "Don't you think your being a bit harsh? I mean mother gave Sakura permission to go, so why are you-?!"
Feiling looked shocked. "When did you start calling that brat Sakura?" Feiling emphasized the word SAKURA.
Meiling blushed. "It just came out of mouth"
Feiling huffed. "No wonder you stopped me from hitting Sakura, you're getting fond of her aren't you?"
Sakura sat there looking shocked from Feiling to Meiling then back again.
Feiling stepped forward and pushed Meiling against the fridge. Meiling gasped.
"When? When did this happen to you? You're supposed to be cold! That's what mother taught us! You must give no mercy! If you do, you will be easily tricked! Just like this, you let your guard down and you've fallen under this trash's spell!" Feiling was red with anger as she spat these words out.
Suddenly, Meiling awoken from her trance, Her eyes grew taunt with anger and she pushed the startled Feiling away from her.
"Who are you calling trash?! Are you totally blind? Can you not recognize her as a living human and not something you can use and throw around?!" Meiling glared at her sister as her sister's eyes widened in shock.
"YOU see her as a H-HUMAN? When have you changed? We were so alike yesterday? Why are you so different today?" Feiling asked softly.
"I was never alike you. I have always been like this. ALWAYS. Do you know how much pressure you and mother have put on me to be as---------as hard and cold like you? We might have been born on the same day, but those minutes of difference kept me from being alike you. We have been together all our lives, since those moments where we were fertilized, but people change Feiling. You have got to understand that. I have changed. The ice within me has melted years ago" Meiling was on the verge of tears. Why couldn't her sister understand? This behaviour and hatred would lead Feiling to her destruction.
"You're basically saying that you've been acting these couple of years?"
"Yes" Meiling said softly.
Sakura didn't know what to say, she was shocked. She never believed Meiling would be------be, different. She had been so cold since the first day she met her. Meiling's eyes showed no emotions. No fear, no kindness.
'Could this all be an act?' Sakura thought to herself. 'No' Meiling was on the verge of crying and Feilings face showed too much.
Feiling's voice broke through Sakura's thoughts.
"You know Meiling Yu, that this piece of news will get to Mother right?" Speaking loud and clear, Feilings face showed no emotion, but a glint of something evil showed in Feilings eyes.
Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!! I'm a bit late cause it's past, so Happy New Year! I hope you enjoyed that!?? Well, who KNEW Meiling was soft inside? I never thought of making Meiling like that, until I reached the middle of the chapter so.....Just read and review!
