:Pain:

They all looked at the spot where the puddle that made those icy beings with a sigh of relief. Sakura and Meiling stood there catching their breath while Syaoran did the same thing as he leaned on his sword. Syaoran had noticed that the dried up puddle had a rather familiar piece of paper that was brunt.

"What is that?" Meiling asked.

"It's a summoning talisman. Sakura and I saw one at the park awhile ago." Syaoran said.

Meiling had a puzzled look on her face. "What? But only someone strong enough can do that and besides who can do such a thing?" Meiling said.

"We don't know." Sakura said with a shrug.

"Maybe this is the thing that we're all in danger from." Meiling said. "A new force of some kind."

"Well I don't know if this matters but at dinner tonight, I noticed something weird about this one guy. He was the same person in my dream." Sakura said.

"Yeah. I kinda felt weird by him also." Syaoran said.

"Hm…well it can't be purely coincidental, I mean come on, the same guy in your dream and the weird feelings from him." Meiling said.

"Yeah it just can't be." Sakura said.

"What should we do?" Syaoran asked.

"No idea. Train I suppose to get ready for whatever it is." Meiling said.

"Girl that's all you ever want to do." Syaoran said.

"What? Not all the time." Meiling said.

Then a rustling sound came from the bushes. They all turned around to see what it was. All they saw was nothing.

"What was that?" Sakura said.

Then it happened again a few feet away from them.

"There it is again!" Sakura said.

Just then a creature of some sort jumped out and stood there, growling, showing its razor teeth. It was a big oversized wolf that was dark black with dark red eyes. It howled and then started running to the girls. Sakura and Meiling saw it and didn't know what to do.

"What is that!" Meiling yelled out.

"Don't know but let's run while we can." Sakura yelled out.

They both started on running and the wolf was chasing them.

"God of Thunder!" Syaoran yelled out.

It had hit the wolf making it stopped within feet of the girls. It flinched as it was hit but then shook it off. Syaoran couldn't believe it. It wouldn't work against it. The girls had time to get away and did. They split up in two directions, Sakura going left, Meiling in the other. The wolf still standing still started to howl a bit. The three looked it as it started to shake violently. Unbelievably it had split in two. Each went after the girls.

"Sword!" Sakura yelled out.

She looked back and saw that the wolf was catching up to her. Meiling was trying to climb up a tree and succeeded. The wolf that was chasing Sakura was within reach of her and she turned around. The wolf jumped at her. She had dodged it and ran again. The wolf tired jumping at her again, but only to fail once more. Sakura was lucky enough to find an opening to kick the wolf in the face and quickly went in and stabbed it on the side deeply. It howled in pain, as it fell to the ground. The other wolf that was after Meiling had stopped trying to knock her out of the tree and went towards Sakura instead.

"Sakura watch out! Behind you!" he yelled out.

Sakura turned around in time to see it coming towards her. She took her sword out of the wounded wolf and moved out of the way. The wolf that chased her moved to where she was. It wouldn't stop going after her.

"God of Thunder!" Syaoran yelled out. Nothing had happened. He was shocked about it. He tried again. "God of Thunder!" It was the same as it was before. Nothing still had happened. "Dammit…I can't use magic anymore."

Sakura was in trouble. But then Meiling had gotten out of the tree and yelled out random things. The wolf had stopped and went after Meiling instead.
Sakura called on Dash and ran after the wolf. She ran to the side of the animal and stabbed it. Squish her sword went. She stabbed it again and again to kill it. After four good strikes she had beaten it. The other wolf was behind Sakura. Meiling had fallen to the ground by tripping over a rock and Sakura went to help her out. The wolf ran to Sakura. Each step it took, blood oozed and dripped out of it, leaving a long trail of red behind it.

"Sakura!" Syaoran yelled out.

Sakura had gotten Meiling up and turned around as she heard her name. She saw it coming towards her and wasn't ready to counterattack. The wolf suddenly jumped up, going to attack her.

"No!" he yelled out. "God of Thunder!"

This time it worked. A blaze of thunder came at the wolf, hitting it exactly where it was stabbed. The thunder was more powerful than it was ever before. It howled and roared as it was being zapped. Its body smoked and sizzled. It was dead.

Syaoran had let go of his sword. It fell down right next to him. His body became cold and he fell down to the ground on his knees. He couldn't see. His vision became all blurry. All he could see was two blobs and tried to make out of what they were but it had gotten worse as it slowly became dark. As he tried to make out of what it was, he could finally see that it was only Sakura and Meiling. He tried to raise his right hand up.

"…Sakura…" he whispered softly.

The sight of her and Meiling disappeared, engulfed within the blackness. Everything was black. His right hand was inches off the ground but plummeted back on down. And so did the rest of him.
