The idiot of a guard decided to push me into my room. I landed on my hands and knees. Ya. It kind of hurt. But nothing compared to the pain he will be feeling in a few seconds. I turned around to look at him even though I was still crouching on the ground. He was wide open but just to make sure, I smiled the most goofy smile I could muster. I could tell the guy was now confused. Just enough for me to give him a swift kick to the groin. Successfully knocking him out of the doorway so I could slam the door in his face.

Sucker.

"Well. If it isn't miss Sakura. Did you have fun while you were away?" A menacing voice said.

"I'd still be having fun if it weren't for the dirty rats that found me Eriol."

Eriol stepped into my view. He looked mad. I don't blame him. That is if he's thinking what I was thinking he was mad about.

With a fast movement that I barely caught I was now slammed against the door with an arm to my throat. Yep. I know why he's mad.

"You left me and Tomoyo behind. She was dead for days. But if it wasn't for her kindness I would kill you right now. She wants you alive. She cares for you. She convinced me that you left because you had the chance. Was that it?"

Of course. I couldn't lie to the guy.

"Yes. Me and Sayoran were chased by the guards. It was our chance and believe me if there was time I would have come back for you."

Ok. So maybe I lied a little. It couldn't hurt that much right?…

"Your lying to me."

…Wrong. You cant get anything past Eriol. I should have figured that out before. Of course I never really cared for the guy so what did it matter?

Apparently it meant a lot to him cause he just put more pressure on my throat. This was just peachy. I really didn't need this. Maybe if I… nope I'm not even going to try that. But could it work? Of course not. Was I going to try it anyways? Of course I was. Why? Because I'm an idiot.

My fist made a connection with Eriol's stomach. At the loss of his breath I took that time to release his arm from my neck and twisted it around his back.

"Now listen to me Eriol. Me and Sayoran went for a skate in the Groves. The guards found us and we managed to knock them out. We took that time to escape. It was the only chance we had. But you'll be happy to find out that I was hit by a sleepy dart. But then again the guys got hit by a train. Well at least we were slowed down. I bet you like that. It would have ruined our chances of getting away. Then we wouldn't be in this position now would we. But if you help me I am more than willing to take you and Tomoyo with me."

If that didn't get through to him then I should find myself throttled in my sleep.

"No. I cant take a chance like that. Maybe your willing to but considering the chances that you were almost caught last time, I'd say this time around your chances are rather thin."

I let go of Eriol half thinking that that was a mistake. Nope no mistake. Eriol didn't try to kill me again.

"Well the chance is there. You decide whether you like it here or not. And think about Tomoyo. Maybe she wants out more than anything and would do anything to get out. Tell her that."

Eriol left me alone for the rest of the night. Good thing too cause I really needed to plan my escape. And how to get to Nicholas…. It's two challenges in one.

I actually really didn't want to take Eriol and Tomoyo with me. They would just get in the way. I felt kind of bad that I was going to leave them here again… but like Eriol said, my chances of getting out this time was very thin.

A phone started ringing. Did the room have a phone? No. Was it Eriol's cell phone? No, he would have picked it up by now. Was it my cell phone that I left in my suitcase after I left? Probably. I went to go pick it out of my suitcase. Yep. It's my phone. This time I didn't hesitate to answer. For all I know it could be another prank caller….

"Hello?" I answered.

"Sakura? Is that you?"

… Or it could be Sayoran. Sometimes I love this kid.

"Yes. Its me."

"Oh god. We have been trying to reach you for two days now. What happened to you?"

"They found me. Tie Diamond. I'm back at the school. I think they might have Nicholas locked up somewhere."

"No. How did that happen? Wait no never mind, don't answer that. Are you able to get out?"

"No. I'm pretty sure they either have me on lock down or there is a guard or two standing out side the door."

"Sakura? This is Selina. How are you babe?"

" Peachy."

"Ok. We are coming after you. Sayoran says he knows the in and out of the school so he's coming with us. Do you have Nicholas with you?"

"No. I think he's somewhere else in the school. They might have drugged him. But I cant be sure."

"That might be a little bit of a problem. That's alright. The whole gang is coming ok? Can you hold out until morning?"

"Yeah I'll be fine. Just be careful ok? Those guards are nasty buggers."

"Got it. See you in a few hours and don't get yourself into anymore trouble. From what Sayoran told me you are quite the trouble maker."

"Yeah yeah. I got it. See you."

I hung up the phone but I wish I was still talking to someone. It made me feel better. So now all I had to do was wait. I'm good at waiting. All I have to do is sit. Maybe even read a book. Or maybe I could reserve my energy and rest. It all works cause either way I'm getting out of here.

They took my gun away. I just realized that. It was strapped to my leg in the holster. I wonder where they had it.

I heard a shot gun from outside the door. It was too soon for the Wolves to be here now. Then why did I just here a gun shot? Could it be…

The door busted open. A guy stumbled in, blood running down his chest. He looked at me before he fell to the ground to reveal Nicholas standing behind him. My gun in hand as well.

I looked at him. He's ok. He came for me. Nicholas came for me.

"Are you just going to stand there all day or shall we leave?" Nicholas asked.

I got up and ran to him. I jumped in his arm and wrapped my legs around his waist.

"Your ok. Oh god. I was so worried. I thought they were never going to let you out."

God. I sound like a pathetic wife who nearly lost her husband. But it's working for me.

"I know. I know. But we cant stand here all night if we want to get out still awake. God. That was no trip of happiness." Nicholas said as I slid back to the ground.

"Come on. I think we are all clear to get out the front doors."

"No. There's another way out."

I grabbed Nicholas's hand and started to run for the hallway down where the wall lifts up to the Groves. Ok. Now was my time to figure out how Sayoran and Eriol lifted this wall up. I stuck my hand under the crack and pulled up. The wall moved but only about an inch. I think Nicholas got it because he crouched down to the floor to help me.

We both stepped into the Groves.

"Can you skate well?" I asked.

"Yeah."

"Good. Get a board and follow me. There is a path a little down to the left. If we are quick they wont catch us."

"Are you sure about that?"

"Yes. it's the same trail me and Sayoran took when we escaped."

Nicholas didn't say anything else. He just grabbed a board and followed me down to the trail. When we got to about where the train tracks were we stopped. I knew people were following us. But this time there was no train to save us.

"Get into the bushes. Remember what we did on the highway? Well this time just shoot and take the guns." Nicholas told me as we hid.

"Gezze. You guys just couldn't wait until we got there could you?" Someone said from behind us. I turned around and I for once was happy to see Sayoran standing behind us. I jumped up and hugged him.

"Sayoran! I'm happy to see you! I thought you weren't coming till sun up?"

"I insisted that we go as soon as possible. And here we are. The others are back in the forest waiting for me. Now why don't we-"

"Sakura get out of the way!" I heard Nicholas say. I also heard a gun shot. No. Not the tranquillizer gun shot. A real gun shot. Only one thing could come of this. Nicholas flew in front of me and Sayoran. His arms wrapped around my stomach.

Nicholas gasped. I stood there blank. No. This couldn't have happened again. This was a nightmare. None of this was real. If I dared turn around I know what I would see. And I dint want to see it. Not again.

Nicholas whispered to me,

"Be strong. Don't let fear take over you. I'll come back for you… one day."

I cant move. I cant speak. I cant even breath. I just stood there staring at something. I heard more gun shots from behind Sayoran. I know who it is. But I just stood there staring at something. Staring at Sayoran. Staring at the only man I had left in my life.

No! I didn't want to kill Nicholas! I feel so sad now! But at least some people will be happy. I hope.
