Yuki and Shinko picked up the two jeweled hair ornaments from the ground, which had fallen out of the girl's hair. Kel looked at the jeweled hair ornaments that were held by Yuki and Shinko. The three walked briskly to the infirmary to meet Alanna and the unknown girl. I wonder who she is? Something must have happened to her. Thought Yuki.
When the three got there they found Alanna and Duke Baird in a screened area around a bed. "What happened and who is she?" Asked Dom, his face confused. "She looks like a Yamani lady" Replied Raoul, Kel's former Knight master. "Well, she has all the looks of a Yamani, but I don't know who she is at all? She seems like someone, from a royal family, from the clothes she was wearing". Explained Shinko, who knew all the royal families in the Yamani Islands. "We'll find out who she is when she wakes up."
"I'm going to ask the guards at the gates, to see if they saw her coming in. The guards have to know her; there is no other way inside the palace. Besides, the rumors and gossip should have come to the palace about a young Yamani girl, especially if she was royal." Raoul walked towards the wooden doors of the infirmary. "I'm going to tell King Jonathan about this, he should know". Shinko left, walking in a gentle, calm manner.
"She's loosing a lot of blood." Alanna used her violet gift to see the extensity of her wounds and to make sure there were no broken bones or other damage done. Duke Baird and Neal took care of the scattered cuts all over her body and picked the glass from some of the open cuts. Alanna found no broken bones but found some bruises all over her body. "Who do you think she is?" Asked Duke Baird. "I'm not sure, but her wounds were all severe." Alanna sighed and sat on a chair with a comfortable cushion. She raked her hands through her fire red hair, her famed purple eyes, tired and full of worry. "You can go Duke Baird, you too Neal", she recovered quickly from her lack of strength and smiled quickly in Neal's direction. "Oh, sure Alanna. I'll leave you here all alone so you can tire yourself out." Neal's emerald green eyes full of the usual dramatics. "Neal, you better close that mouth before I really get you. I'm only going to change her into better clothing" Alanna stood up from the chair and asked a maid to retrieve some clothing. "Neal, come and listen to Alanna. You still didn't learn." Neal trudged out of the Screened room, following his father. Well, that girl has the looks of a Yamani and wears a kimono. I wonder if Yuki knows who she is.
Shinko and Yuki had given Kel the two jewel ornamented sticks, which are commonly used among Yamani Ladies. She quizzically studied the shiny glimmering pink jewels. This is wonderfully made. Shinko might be right. This looks really expensive. "Yuki, do you think she's fine. I know I don't know her at all, but she is a Yamani." Kel slipped on her Yamani mask, letting no emotion spill out. Yuki, who didn't use the Yamani mask as often after coming to Tortall, came over to Kel and gave her a sympathetic smile. "I'm sure, she's alright. We'll see her when Alanna comes out." Yuki glanced at Kel. Right at that moment, Alanna came out of the screened room. She looked tired but nevertheless fine. Dom, Kel, and Yuki made their way to Alanna. "Is she fine?" Asked Kel, her voice hinting no emotion. "She's lost a lot of blood, but she's fine. I want to know what happened to her. I guess we'll never know until she wakes up. I'm going to visit Jon." Before Kel could tell her that Yuki went to Jonathan already. Alanna sped out the door. "Let's go see her." Kel stood up from the stool she was sitting in.
I hope she wakes up soon. I want to know what's going on. Dom stood up also and stretched his legs and arms, he felt stiff. The three of them walked to the room and opened the door. She was on the bed in different clothes of soft white fabric. The cuts on her arm bandaged. Her hair was out of its bun and draped across the pillow. She's quite pretty said the voice in Kel's head. Kel studied the young girl. She was a bit pale, had soft clear skin, slender fingers, and had a slim figure with a solid build. Kel went inside, Yuki and Dom trailing in behind her. All of them sat on stools and talked about whom she might be.
Sakura felt pain beyond her imagination. What if she's dead? Wherever I am, I don't care. Sakura remembered the crash and the sound of the people's screams. She saw her mother next to her and blacked out. She felt the tug of her body while she was unconscious and the thump of her body landing on the soft ground.
The crash of the car at the intersection made the people scream. People ran over to the toppled car. Someone pulled out there cell phone and dialed 911. In a few minutes the police and ambulance came over. Police tape surrounded the crash site. Four paramedics two for each stretcher went to the overturned car. They safely pulled out Sakura's mother and laid her on top of the stretcher and rushed over to the truck and drove quickly to the nearest hospital. The other paramedics went to look in the passenger seat. People said there was a young girl in the car also. But, they found no one and only a little pool of blood. They couldn't find the girl. Other paramedics came over to the car that crashed the silver SUV and safely laid the unconscious women on to the stretcher and dashed off. Police searched for the girl. Where is the girl?
Five days later, after the discovery of the young girl, rumors and gossip about this mysterious girl had leaked out throughout Corus and everywhere else. Jonathan visited the young girl in the infirmary after finding out and was worried for the girl, she was really young. Kel, Yuki, and Shinko, visited her often, Kel did the most.
