A card captor Sakura and Spiderwick crossover story.
"What is this room?" Sakura asked.
"I don't know. But it's hard to see." Jared said.
"Wait. What happened to me?" Sakura Asked realizing she passed out and didn't see them jump through.
"Well. I'm carrying you. Since that RAT nearly choked you." Jared said.
Sakura did feel his arms holding her now that she was waking up.
"Um...You can put me down then." She said.
Jared nodded and put her down. "I'll find a light. You have the flashlight." Jared said handing it to her.
"Thanks." Sakura took it and turned it on.
Looking around the room it was all green and had a large chandelier hanging from the ceiling.
"I bet you could light the candles up there." Sakura said.
"I could. I think I still have the Matches." Jared said.
"Stay here." He told her as he stood up on the table.
"Be careful." Sakura said as she shined the light for him to see.
"Thanks." He said.
"By the way...Where is...Thimbletack?" Sakura asked.
Jared dropped the matches hearing that question.
"Um." He didn't answer.
"I'm right here." Thimbletack said standing on the table in front of Sakura.
"Oh. Good. I was so worried." Jared smiled. Hearing Sakura say that. He even was blushing hearing her words.
"I can take care of myself." Thimbletack said.
"Can you hand me the matches." Jared asked. Sakura reached down and picked up the matches and handed them up to Jared.
"Here." She said. Jared took them from her and lit up one and tried to light all the candles.
Sakura looked around and was seeing the room as it slowly lit up.
A table with picture frames was at one end of the room and the other side was a huge boarded up door.
"Well no way we're getting out that way." She said.
Jared looked at the door and just nodded.
Next to the door was the mirror and above the table was another black window.
"I wish we could see outside." Sakura sighed.
Once Jared got all the lights lit it was easy to get back down.
"Now, We only have one match left. Better use it wisely." Jared said.
Thimbletack hopped back into Jared's hood.
"This table looks do pretty. Like a royal lives here." Sakura said.
"Rich people sure." Jared shrugged.
Sakura squinted her nose at him. Looking at all the beautiful plates and bowls on the table like it was thanksgiving.
"It must have been a great party to have all this out." Sakura said.
"Yes. It was." Said a small voice.
Jared and Sakura turned to see...
An old woman. Not the same one as before but she looked kinder.
"What do you mean?" Sakura asked.
"It was for my son's wedding. I was with her when I heard about some mirror. Before I knew it I saw black and I never saw my son again. My husband is here too. Somewhere." Said the mother.
"I'm so sorry." Sakura said.
"How could your son do all this?" Jared asked.
"And on his wedding day!" Sakura added.
"Well. My son...Dominic was the sweetest boy you could have ever met. He loved to fix cars. Or pretend to at least when my brother came around. He also loved to read about stars. He loved the night sky. When my youngest was born he was so happy to become an older brother." The mother said.
"He was?" Jared questioned. He remembered the nanny saying he changed after that day.
"Jared! Please continue." Sakura said.
The mother smiled at her. "Such sweet manners. Just like my boys. But for some odd reason I found my son's talking to...not each other but to a statue I don't remember putting in our gardens. They said that he was playing with them but... After sometime Dominic grew out of it but my youngest...He kept going back. I wasn't sure why. But I saw a girl in there so I just assumed...I should have known that Dominic was jealous." She explained.
Sakura felt bad for the mother.
"Please do me a favor. If you see Angie please tell her that's I'm sorry." She asked.
Sakura and Jared both nodded.
The mother began to fade away.
"Wait! Don't you want to be set free?" Sakura asked.
"I can't. I live here. I am bound to this house. Stop my son. And I'll be free then." Were her last words.
"So...Her son Dominic was jealous over a girl his younger brother liked?" Jared couldn't understand that.
It did happen to him once but only because Simon forgot to mention he had a twin. That didn't end well for Jared.
"Well. I guess we just go?" Sakura questioned.
Jared shook his head. "There has to be something else behind all this. This doesn't fit."
"You mean the brothers?" Sakura asked.
"Yeah. The mother mentioned a girl but she didn't say a name. So if the girl wasn't Angie. It must have been someone else." Jared said.
Sakura thought about it for a minute.
"The other girl we saw?" Jared shook his head at her.
"No way. She is young now. If his brother got married when everything went down then...He would still be an adult. And I think some poeple here are from different times. Ages. This has to be something going on for years." Jared explained.
"Well whatever the case, we need to keep moving. If we are to escape and stop Dominic." Sakura said.
Jared nodded in agreement. The two stood in front of the mirror and jumped on through.
Landing right in...
"What the-"
"Heck?!" Jared finished.
*Squeak.
"Toys."
"A baby or child's room." Jared corrected her.
It was not all that in great shape.
"This room needs remodeling. Tomoyo would be having a freak attack." Sakura said.
A small gush of wind came through. "The window is...open?" Jared noticed.
"Hello?" It was that same voice.
Sakura turned and saw the same girl from the other room. The girl that tried to kill her!
"Stand back you!" Jared shouted.
"I'm sorry. I thought you were my sister." She said.
"YOUR WHAT?!"
