Title: The Elf Princess

Summary: Yelen had care for Sakura ever since Nadeshiko died. Syaoran falls in love with Sakura and vice versa. But what happens when he found out that she's an elf?

Chapter 3

Sakura POV

I froze. The words elf rolled around in my mouth. It must be a lie. A joke. Elves don't exist.

I started to laugh nervously, "Auntie Yelen? You're kidding, right? You almost got me there."

I looked up at her and saw the stern look on her face. That was when I started to realize she wasn't joking around. She was serious.

Tomoyo glanced at me for a while then stared at Yelen, "What do you mean she's an elf? There's no such thing!" She looked at Syaoran for support, but he just sat there gaping at Sakura.

"No. Sakura's an elf? I don't understand mother. What do you mean?" He chuckled half-heartily not believing what he had heard. "This isn't funny, mother. It's rubbish. It's a lie."

"Do you see me laughing Li Xiao Lang? How dare you call Nadeshiko rubbish, a lie! Shut your mouth you ignorant child!" Yelen stated angrily.

Syaoran shut upped.

"But I still don't understand," I said. I was really confused.

"Then let me start from the beginning. Your mother was an elf. Not just any elf, but the Princess. Her mother ruled an empire. The elf world is separated into two Kingdoms. One Kingdom is where females live and the males live in the other Kingdom. Like your whole family generation you are the next person for the throne, Sakura. But you are also half mortal. You see, this world and the other world are linked by a portal. Nadeshiko crossed it before when she was young and had always been mesmerized by our world. That was when I met her. From that day on we were the best of friends. She often played with me and when she trusted me enough she told me her secret identity." Yelen stopped for a while before continuing.

"She returned to her world after that. She was ready to take her mother's place for the throne. But to do that, she had to marry the other empire's prince. If she did, that certain prince would be the King and she would be Queen. This path to go was already chosen before they were even born. So pretty much they're only being wedded so they can take over their parents place for the throne. After they get married instead of impregnating the female elf, they would each create a child using a part of themselves and magic but they could only be able to do that until they're married. Therefore they would have someone to take over their place and their child won't be related so they can get married again when it's their turn to inherit the throne," Yelen said. (A/N I hope you could understand all that!)

"My mother would never marry someone for power, right!" I questioned quickly.

The older woman smiled at me and nodded, "yes, my dear. That was when she came back to our world. To run away because she doesn't believe that it was her fate to marry that prince. She didn't love him. So your mother stayed at my place and disguised herself as a human. That was when she met your father. They fall in love even when your father found out she was an elf. They got married afterwards and were very happy. She gave up her place for the throne just to be with your father. Her mother found out and allowed her to stay with your father, because she too doesn't agree with that rule. Later on they had two beautiful kids. You being one of them."

I let out a sigh of relief.

"Although, the prince was angered by Nadeshiko. He was a selfish person that only cared for power. But he did love your mother and was jealous that she had chosen someone else, a mortal man. So he called upon his guards to track her down and bring her back, dead or alive."

Tomoyo gasped and my eyes water in anger.

Yelen nodded gravely before she continued, "They found her in a cottage in the woods and tried to bring her back to the other world. Fujitaka tried to protect your mother, brother and you, by letting her escape while he distracted the guards. But he had been killed and was torn limp from limp. Nadeshiko cried as she ran carrying you in her arms since you were only a few months old, while Touya, your older brother ran beside her. But soon she was discovered. So Touya battled with them to buy time while his mother escape But like his father he didn't stood a chance. But this time they shot 10 arrows at your mother. Since you had some magical abilities and sensed that your mother was hurt so you killed them with you power. By the time she arrived at my house she was weak. I saw her at my doorstep with you in her arms. Her dying wish was that I would raise you as a mortal and tell you about who you are on your 16th birthday. So now you know."

Syaoran and Tomoyo stood there gaping at Yelen then looked at me.

I felt something wet running down my cheeks. I'm crying. I shut my eyes and balled my fist. I was so mad. I never knew.

"So here are your two choices. You could go back to your world and train your magical abilities until you could use them anytime you please. Oh, I forgot to tell you, after the Queen, who is your Grandmother dies, you wouldn't be able to take over the throne unless you marry that prince or instead you could choose someone else to. And that certain girl would marry the prince. And then their generation would become the Queen. Or you could stay here and give up your place for the throne just like your mother did," Yelen told me.

I thought for a minute. It's all so confusing. "Well," I began slowly, "I think I would stay."

Tomoyo's eyes lit up and squealed happily and hugged me. I returned it. I looked at Syaoran who was also very happy to hear my decision.

Syaoran came up to me and kneeled on my knee in front of me. I gasped as he took out a small velvety box. Tomoyo walked away from me and start video taping it.

He looked up at me and said, "Sakura I know we are too young to be married so instead this is a promise ring that on your 18th birthday we would get married. Do you agree?"

"I do! Oh my gosh, Syaoran! I love you!" I cried out happily as I hold out my hand.

Syaoran slipped the promise ring onto my finger then hugged me. I laughed joyfully and Yelen smiled at us, while Tomoyo video taped it all down.

Yes it was a wonderful birthday present.
