The Letter

It was about a month after Mai was born, Mulan was outside in the backyard playing with Mai. Shang was out taking his horse for a ride around town and seeing what was new in town. When he got home he went inside the gates and was about to go play with Mai, but he found Mulan playing with her and he just stood there watching her. Shang smiled, he loved seeing Mulan so happy... all of a sudden the guard started to hit the drums. Shang looked up horrified, he knew there was something wrong and he would have to leave his family. Mulan looked up and saw Shang, she picked up Mai and ran over to Shang.

"Shang what's going on?" Mulan asked frantically

"I don't know... I don't know. Mulan please stay in here"

Shang opened the gate to see Chi Fu standing there, Shang walked out and talked to him, itwas about 5 minutes later and then Chi Fu gave him a letter, Shang bowed and walked back to his wife and child, he couldn't look into their eyes.

"Shang..." Shang just looked up at her and turned his head like he was holding in his tears. Mulan fallowed him inside...

"Shang, please look at me," Mulan said crying. Shang looked up at her and Mai. He walked up to Mulan wiped her tears and took the now sleeping child out of her arms, he walked into her room and put her in bed. He walked back out Mulan.

"Mulan I love you... I don't want to lose you..."

"Shang what is going on? Tell me now!"

All Shang could do was look up at her and give her the letter.

General Li Shang,

A war has broken out in Southern China. We need you immediately to report to the palace we don't want to take any chances right now so we will tell you there what camp you will be reporting to.

From,

The Emperor

"What are we going to do about Mai?"

"What do you mean? You are staying here with Mai."

"No I am coming with you-"

"NO YOU ARENT! AND THAT IS AN ORDER!" Mulan ran outside crying, Shang ran after her and found her on the ground by the magnolia tree. Shang picked her up in his arms and held her.

"Shang you cant go... not with out me... I wont let you"

"Mulan what about Mai? She needs you"

"But I-I need you"

"Shh" Shang picked up Mulan's head and wiped her tears away from her eyes and kissed softly.

"I will come back for you Mulan... I promise"

The Next day

Shang packed up his things, kissed Mulan and held his daughter, he gave her, his chocker (The necklace that guys wear) gave her a kiss, gave her back to Mulan and left. He reached the palace, later that day. The Emperor told him the problem and Shang was off once again to train the troops.

Meanwhile

Mulan was trying to keep herself busy trying not to think about Shang and what might happen. She couldn't take it any more. She was on her way to see the Emperor to see what camp her husband was at.

"Your Majesty, I have come here to ask you something"

"Yes Mulan,I know where you are, but sadly I am not able to tell you. Shang has told me that you would come and he asked me not to tell you. Mulan Shang cares for you very much and he doesn't want anything to happen to you."

"I understand your majesty. I think I must go"

"Mulan he will be alright" Mulan nodded and walked out
