A Portrait of Her Chapter One: Haunting me

There's always a face in my mind… a face of a girl who I admire so much, but I do not know her. But why is she on my mind? Why is she haunting my dreams when I sleep? As I paint her emerald eyes, auburn hair and the smile that enchants me. I can't forget about her. Something about her captured my heart and my soul. Who is she? The question I so long to answer for myself.

Every night I dream about her, I feel that she was real. Her eyes pierce my soul and I am captivated by her presence. I sent soldiers to find this maiden, yet they failed. No such person exists in this world. But I refused to believe she is not real. I know that she is out there waiting for me to find her….

It all started with my first dream about her….

'Where am I?' As I walked in the shadowy mist of my surrounding, walking for what seems like forever. I heard a voice, a girl's voice. She wasn't far from where I was standing. The nearer I get, the louder I can hear her. She was crying…. As I make my way towards her, she turned her head and saw her watery eyes. Her tears streaming down her rosy cheeks. Her auburn hair shaping her angelic face. She stared at me and smiled.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Help me…. Syaoran"

I was shocked, how did she know my name? Wiping her tears away she looked at me with such sadness in her eyes. Then she ran away from me.

"Wait…"

I ran as fast as I can to catch her. Finally she stopped. As I looked around the place changed. It was now a place covered with cherry blossom trees. I saw her standing beside one big Sakura tree. I walked towards her.

"Isn't it lovely?"

"Yes, it is quiet a site."

"How could you?" her mellow voice started to change into a hoarse voice.

"What do you mean?" I was confused, what is she talking about.

"Forget about me."

Then she disappeared from my sight.

I looked everywhere, and then suddenly the surrounding changed. It was now pitch black. I couldn't see anything. Her voice keeps saying the same thing.

"Why did you forget me…Syaoran."

"Help me… Syaoran"

"Find me…"

"My love…"

"Syaoran"

"Syaoran wake up…"

I felt being shaken up, the dark surrounding disappeared and a light came into view. My eyes slowly opened and a blurry figure was the first thing I saw.

"Wake up man…"

The blurry figure began to clear and saw my cousin Eriol. He had a concerned look plastered in his face.

I slowly rose up and grab his arm for support. I was drenched with sweat. How long was I asleep? It seems forever but then I realized that dreams only last for couple of minutes.

"What is it man?"

"It was a girl…the same girl I always dream of."

"The girl that tells you that you forgot about her."

"Yeah, but this time she was crying."

"Man, this is getting weird each night,"

"I know."

We both looked at the portrait I made for the girl that haunts my dream. Everyday I paint her face, trying to ask the question she keeps asking me. Was she part of my life? A lost memory? Every time I asked myself that question, I only end up confusing my self. Where can I find her? Who is she?
