Chapter 4: Danger In The Morning!

Dream:

Sakura looks around the area she is in and she can sense that she is in the park, but she wasn't sure because the area around her was pitch black. "Li…Madison…where are you?" She walked around aimlessly with her arms out in front of her. She then felt something; the thing she felt was wet, slimy, and bumpy. She ran her hand along this thing until she felt something prick her finger. "Ouch!" She exclaimed in pain as she pulled her hand away from the thing that cut her. "Li!" she said for some random reason. Suddenly the area lit up and Sakura gasped in shock at what she saw. "NO!"

Sakura suddenly wakes up abruptly and yelled. "NO!"

Kero jumped when he heard Sakura yell so suddenly. " Geez Kiddo! What's up with you?" He yelled startled.

Sakura looked over to Kero. "Sorry…I just…had a bad dream."

Kero flew over to Sakura and stopped right in front of her face. He crossed his legs as if he was sitting on the floor but instead her was hovering at the eye level of Sakura. "Do you mean the kind of dreams you had…last time?"

Sakura nodded.

"Do you remember anything?" Kero asked.

Sakura shook her head. A look of helplessness appeared on her face. "No…I'm sorry."

Kero then began to think.

Sakura removed the covers off of her body and then got out of bed. She walked over to the dresser and opened the bottom drawer. She took out a clean school uniform and then walked over to her bedroom door and she placed her hand gently on the doorknob. "I'm gonna go get ready for school now." She said as she opened her bedroom door. She walked out of the room and closed the bedroom door gently behind herself.

Sakura walked down the ill-lit hallway and into the bathroom. She closed the door, trying not to make to much noise, and locked it. She set her neatly folded uniform down on the closed toilet seat and then took off her clothes. She then stepped into the shower and closed the shower door behind herself. She then grabbed the knob and pulled on it causing water to come out of the showerhead. She leaned her head into the path of water that flowed out of the showerhead. She felt peaceful and calm as she ran her fingers through her wet hair.

But that feeling dispersed when she sensed a magical force nearby. Suddenly, The shower began to fill with water. Sakura looked down at the ground and her eyes widened at what she saw. The water level had risen up to her knees already. She turned around and pushed the knob back into the off position but the water didn't stop coming out of the showerhead. Before Sakura knew it, the water was up to her neck. "Help!" She yelled in fear. All of a sudden, in a swirl of bright pink lights, Sakura's Star Staff appeared right in front of her. She managed to reach up and grab it before the water engulfed her. Sakura tried to swim up but some magical force stopped her from swimming up. She could swim anywhere else but up. "What am I gonna do." She thought. AN idea then popped into her head. "That's it!"

Just then a Star Card appeared. It then turned around so Sakura could see which card it was. It was The Through Card. She struck the card with her staff and a magical hole appeared on the shower door. The water then burst out of the hole and flooded the bathroom a couple of inches. The water then stopped coming out of the showerhead. And Sakura was on her knees and she was shaking with fear.

There was then a knock at the bathroom door and Tory's voice came from the other side. "Are you aright in there, Sakura?" Tory asked, a sign of worry in his voice.

"Y…yeah." Sakura stuttered.

"Well then hurry up. Other people need to bathe too you know." Tory said, his voice changing from worry to annoy.

"I'll be out in a sec, okay." Sakura responded sounding annoyed also. She stood up and said with a whisper. "Through Card…dispel your magic." The magical hole Sakura had opened vanished and the card took its place the card then vanished. (When a card "Vanishes" it returns to the book or to Sakura's pocket…in this case it returned to the book.) Sakura grabbed the towel that hung from the bar that was in the shower and she dried herself off. She then wrapped the towel around herself and she walked out of the shower. She slouched when she saw how much water was on the bathroom floor. She then had another idea. Another Star Card appeared but this time it was The Water Card. She threw it into the air and whispered. "Water Card!" Sakura stuck the card with her staff and the card began to glow a bright blue. Blue rings of light pulsed out of the card also. Water then flew out of the card and circled the bathroom, sucking up all of the water that was on the floor. The water spirit then flew back into the card taking all of the water with it. The light that the card emitted faded revealing the picture of the Water Spirit. The card then vanished.

She looked around the room, satisfied with what she had done and she then put her School Uniform on. Putting on her navy blue skirt, which (in length) ended just above her knees. Her white short-sleeved shirt which had a red bow that was placed just above her chest and a navy blue flap, which lay over her shoulders and ended in the upper back area. After picking up her dirty clothes she walked out of the bathroom.

She walked down the now lit hallway and into her room. She closed the door behind her and then leaned against it.

Kero had been playing a video game when Sakura was in the shower. He looked over to Sakura and asked. "What's up kid? You look a little freaked out." Kero said looking back to his game.

"I am freaked out, Kero." Sakura said trying to get Kero's attention, which she succeeded in doing. " The shower began to fill up with water and I mean fill up."

A shocked look appeared on Kero's face. "What!"

Sakura nodded. "Yeah…I was able to stop it…but…I…I had to use the Star Cards."

"So then who ever did that used magic then." Kero said seriously. "I'm gonna talk with Yue…see if he's been sensing anything lately."

Sakura nodded agreeing with Kero. "Good idea." She said giving him the thumbs up. She then looked at her alarm clock, which read 7:15. "Well…I gotta go." Sakura said with a sigh as she walked over and grabbed her book bag. "I'll see you tonight, k?"

"Yep, bye." Kero said before Sakura closed her bedroom door. "Hmmm…"
