CHAPTER 4
Eli opened the door to Sakura's "prison cell." In front of him he pushed a TV that had cable and behind him he pulled along a one story sized bookcase. Sakura looked up from her spot on the bed and smiled.
" Took you long enough. Thought you forgot about me." Sakura said sitting up on her bed. Eli smiled.
"Sorry Sakura but I wasn't sure on what kind of books you liked so I gathered all the books that teenagers read." Eli said sitting on the edge of the bed.
"I'll read about anything while I'm in this hell hole." Sakura said with a grin. Eli smiled. He then got up off the bed and started to hook up Sakura's TV.
"You already have an antenna running into this room, I just need to hook it up." Eli said. He started to screw the TV antenna into the back of the TV. Sakura looked at the ground and then she stood up.
"Eli, where am I?" Sakura asked with a sadden look. Eli looked up and frowned. He walked up to his cousin and placed his hands on her shoulders.
"Your in Russia. This is the house that your mother was made into a vampire. The war between the vampires and the ware wolves took place in the yard. The yard where you life and mine changed." Eli said with a grim look. Sakura looked at him confusingly.
"How did you life change?" Sakura asked with a sincere look on her face. Anger passed through Eli's features.
"My father, your uncle, was on that special task force that was suppose to end the war between the two beasts. He fell along side your father, by your mothers hand." Eli said with sadness spreading across his face.
"Eli, I'm sorry. I can't believe my mother has caused so much grief. I should have killed her when I had the chance." Sakura said clenching her fists. Eli watched his cousin's anger make its way through her body. A normal person would have been scared to confront a vampire. They would fear for their lives. Not Sakura, she feared nothing, not even her own death.
"Do not worry yourself cousin. You will have the chance to avenge your pain and I also will have that chance." Eli said reassuringly. Sakura smiled as tears threatened to spill over.
"Eli, make this known. I and I alone will kill my mother." Sakura said as a tear streaked her cheek. Eli nodded as he watched Sakura suffer from the memories she had. Pain was one thing that Sakura wasn't immune to.
Li walked through the park. He missed Sakura he needed Sakura. Li walked to the fountain and starred at the empty tub that would normally be holding water but is drained during the winter season. He then walked over to a bench and sat down. He looked up to the clouds to watch the snowfall. He remembered how he first met Sakura. Madison was so pissed at Sakura for spilling coffee on her sweater. Then he saw Sakura fight that man to save the girls life. Li was just amazed on how capable she was of fighting. Li found himself smiling when he remember the first time they kissed. Li never meant for that to happen, Sakura just looked so innocent and so desirable. Li remembered that she tasted like freshly picked strawberries. A sudden ring brought Li out of his trance. His cell phone was ringing. Quickly digging it out of his pocket, he flipped it open.
"Hello?" Li said a little disappointed that his daydream was interrupted.
"Li it's Madison. Blaire called me and told me what happened." Madison said quickly. Li sighed and ran a hand through his messy brown hair.
"Madison I'm not really…" Li started but was cut off by Madison. This was getting pretty old.
"Are you ok? I should have never suggested that you go on this date." Li was surprised by Madison's concern.
"I'm ok Madison, I'm fine. I thought I was ready; it's my own fault. I think what made me lose it was that Corali looked just like Sakura. I didn't feel like putting the poor girl through torture of me calling her the wrong name and not even listening to her. So I paid the bill, gave her money for a cab and left. I thought it was the right thing to do." Li said looking down at his feet. He heard a sigh of relief come from Madison.
"Li don't worry about Corali. I'm sure she'll be fine. I was just worried about you because Blaire told me that you were calling her Sakura." Madison said. Li smiled to himself.
"I'm fine Madison. No worries. I'm just walking through the park thinking some things out." Li said while standing up and stretching. He heard Madison giggle.
"Ok well if its not to late you can always stop by and talk, I'll listen." Madison said. Li thought about it for a minute and then nodded.
"Actually sure. I'm on my way now. I'll be there in about 15 minutes." Li said. He then hung up his phone and started walking towards Madison's house. He needed to talk to someone about Sakura. Maybe there was a way that he, Madison and Meilien could get her back. It didn't hurt to try.
