Disclaimer: I do not own Cardcaptors nor do I own any of its characters though I do own this story and Marika and the enemies. So don't sue.
WARNING: This fanfic contains serious adult themes of nudity, sex scenes and rape. So far only in the first couple chapters. Please DO NOT READ if you are offended or are TOO YOUNG. I must say though that this fanfic will turn out happy in the end.
Alyssa: So another chapter and the story moves on without the influence of Marika, well the Marika you know. Oh well there is someone who isn't gone yet and now this part in the Eye of Truth saga continues. Heh heh.
Chapter 11 – The stars no longer shine.
"Look at the stars."
"What about them?"
"They no longer shine, they have no sparkle."
"I guess so?"
"Its because the shadows cloud the light."
"The shadows?"
"They are returning."
"What? … Madison!"
Madison turned her gaze from the night sky and looked into Eriol's blue eyes. He understood what she was saying and was numb for a moment until he cursed, "Madison I thought you destroyed them! …sorry."
"I did my best but I did not defeat them. They will return for me and I … I don't want anyone to be there when they come…so I am leaving, going where no one will find me. I just had to tell you first."
"Madison," this time his voice was so full of emotion that Madison's breath caught in her throat, "I will be there when they come and so will everyone else, this is not your burden to carry alone, Its everyone's world and we will protect it together."
He grabbed her shoulders with his hands and pulled her close to him. Their lips were millimeters apart and he slowly leant forward. Their lips met and their tongues danced. Madison was completely content until she felt a heartbeat, not hers, nor Eriol's. She pushed Eriol away in a panic.
"Madison…what's wrong?" Eriol asked.
She couldn't speak knowing what was happening.
"Please Madison, tell me…" pleaded Eriol.
Madison looked into his eyes and muttered two words that would change the future of the world forever, "I'm Pregnant."
As though a sign had been sent from heaven, Madison looked up at the stars and saw one completely fade out of existence.
Eriol sat thunderstruck…who was the father?
***
Madison turned to him and pulled out the Faith card.
"Eriol, I have faith that you are the father and also that…" she turned away.
"What?"
"Well remember when I defeated Marika, I wanted her to start her life all over again. Well she has…"
"You mean that the child is the reincarnation of Marika?"
"Yes, but I shall not call her Marika, she shall be named Faith, because I have faith that she will be a good person."
Eriol was a little confused but then said, "What about Talia, didn't you want a daughter named Talia?"
Madison looked a little more than confused, "No, never."
Eriol pulled Madison into an embrace, and he let the tears fall. He had failed her, she was no longer complete, but he would make it up to her for the rest of his life.
***
"She will die," said Second.
"No, first we shall make her suffer," hissed third.
"No, my shadows, you shall do nothing until I say so, I will have Marika back, and I will take the Eye of Truth's power for my own, nothing she can do will stop us," cursed a different voice, a voice filled with hate and desire.
***
Whisp and Salaya heard the exchange and grew worried.
Whisp the winged snow leopard fluttered into the air and sent a telepathic message to Salaya, 'I am going to see Layla.'
Salaya mentally nodded and watched as the guardian disappeared into the night.
***
Sakura lay in bed looking at the ceiling, wondering why she had been given the Clow cards if she could do nothing to save the world or her friends. Why was she so weak and why was Madison the one that had to be hurt?
Kero yawned loudly and hopped onto Sakura's bed, "What's plaguing you?"
Sakura rolled over to face the guardian, "Why am I so weak?"
Kero understood and said, "Your time has been and it will come again. You must understand that destiny is given to everyone and it is not your destiny to sit on the bench. Have faith that when you are needed, you will have the strength to do what has to be done."
Sakura let the tears well up in her eyes and smiled at the beast. Yes, she would have faith.
***
Tori and Meilin were having sweet dreams about each other in their beds in their homes. Actually they were having the same dream. The sun was shining and the wind had a nice warmth to it. Tori was cradling Meilin in his arms under a great oak tree while a bird hummed to a sweet tune. He was very content and knew that this girl was very special, that perhaps he was falling in love again.
***
Li collapsed to the floor in a sweaty heap. He was exhausted and had been training all night. Nothing would stop him next time from protecting the one he loved. He would be as strong as he could be, for Sakura's sake.
He pushed himself off the floor and raised his sword to continue to practice his technique.
***
Ruby was sleeping in Julian's arms, and she felt the most secure she had ever been. Julian knew that him and his other half would never ever let anything happen to her again. Never!
***
Layla waited for the cub to sneak into her window before saying hello.
"Hello Whisp."
"Layla, please have you had a vision of Faith?"
Layla smiled, "I know two things, the child will make Madison whole after losing a significant portion of herself and that she will start the world down a new path."
"A new path?"
"I have no other information I am afraid, so I do not know whether the path will be for the good of the world or for the worse."
Whisp became sullen and nodded her thanks before flying out the window and returning back to Eriol's.
***
Madison separated from Eriol and one tear fell from her eye onto the Faith card. The card shined bright before disappearing.
Madison pulled up her top slightly and saw her stomach glow as the card fused with her unborn child.
"Faith shall be a beacon of light for myself and for the world."
Eriol only hoped that Madison was right, or everyone would be doomed.
