CardCaptors
The Power of Two
By Margaret Chen Li
Chapter One
Li fell down the cliff
"It's summer again! Wahoo!" Said Sakura with a really
happy smile. "Hey, since this is the end of the our first
school year at Junior High, why don't we just have a celebration?"
"Great idea Meilin!" "I know a place that is the
best we can go. There's a camp in the city and we can go there.
They split groups of four so we can be in a group. Do all the
other great stuff. Don't you think?" Asked Madison. "Oh
yeah, I remembered that we have to sign up tomorrow or it's late
so we better go home and tell our parents and pack up. And don't
forget to bring some cards to help!" "Let's go!"
Sakura and the rest were happy but this might be the end. Someone
wants to murder Li.
"Dad, Tori, I have something to tell you, tomorrow all four
of us, CardCaptors Scott is going to camp! Don't worry, I'm bring
cards to help." "Okay Sakura, you're a big girl now!"
"Dad, don't you think Sakura is really pretty? She's more
like our mother right now. And I know she's gonna to be pretty
as our mother when she grow up." "Right Tori, I think
so too. I'm really proud of her. She makes me remember stuff
about her mother." Tori had this conversation with his father.
"We have to make tents. We only have two tents, how are
we gonna to split the group?" "I think Li should sleep
alone and all of us sleep in a tent." "Good idea."
It's nighttime, Madison and Meilin are asleep, Li sense something
around the bush so he got up and trying to find out what is it.
Sakura woke up by Li's steps and Sakura followed him. "This
is amazing isn't it Sakura?" "Sure it is Li, I think
you're right, it's the best solution to tell my parents that
we're CardCaptors. I still remember their faces when they heard
that. And Tori is really confused but he doesn't call you brat
anymore." Sakura and Li began to laugh but suddenly they
all stopped.
"Did you sense something Sakura?" "I did, it's
so strong, but I can't feel where it's from. I'll go back and
get all the card and stuff." "No time for that, what
about if it vanished?" "But
" "I think
it's okay, we just have to find then we go and get the stuff."
"Okay." A shadow came from the bush and took Sakura
and Li and gone.
The next morning when Madison and Meilin woke up, they didn't
notice Li and Sakura were gone because they thought that Sakura
was going to find something for breakfast and Li is still asleep.
"Meilin, how come Sakura didn't come back that late? You
should wake Li up and look for them!" "Okay. Li, it's
time to wake up! I don't want to go in your tent so get out there
yourself." A minute later, nothing happened so Meilin entered
the tent and found nothing. "Madison, you are right! Li
and Sakura are missing!" "Or maybe they are just going
to find some breakfast." "I'll try the Lasin Board.
Force, know my plight, release the light! It pointed that way!"
"We're going to get Li and Sakura's stuff and our stuff
to find them." So Madison and Meilin began to look for Sakura
and Li.
"The road ended, it's a cliff, but Lasin Board pointed on
the other side of this cliff but how did they get there?"
"Fly! Fly us to the other side of this cliff!" Madison
and Meilin flied on the other side of the cliff but the Lasin
Board stopped and there's nothing else.
"Sakura, wake up! I think we're kidnapped!" Sakura
woke up by Li's voice. "I saw something in my dream, but
I don't remember, it's something bad and we've got to get out
here before something risks us." "Right!" "Hold
it!" Said a voice from behind, "please, you gotta help
us." "Who are you?" "I'm Sunlin and Moonlin's
daughter, Mauri. My brother is Sauri and he's in danger. Clow
Mistress, you gotta help me, only you can help me." "But
I didn't know if it's same. You have to tell me the story first."
"Okay, when my mother was pregnant, it supposes to be twins,
a boy and a girl. In the Source rules, the god and goddess always
have twins but it turns out to be triplets. All the Source children
were in order like the boy had red hair stands for sun and the
girls have blonde hair stands for moon. They all have blue eyes
stands for sky. My other brother looks so different. He had dark
hair, and dark brown eyes. He looks exactly like the Shadow from
Dark Shadow world when he was little. My parents took good care
of him and let the best teacher in Source World to teach him.
But the best teacher was a betrayer, he was the Dark Shadow's
assistant and he teaches my other brother Sanuri bad stuff. Then
he betrayed the Source World. He locked up my parents and he
became the one in charge. Clow Mistress, you have to go there
and stop him before he gets you. He wants 10 elements from the
Clow Master and Mistress and Assistants. Five cards, four test
cards, and the charger for the test cards, the Shadow, which
is the gold."
"So what should I do to help you?" "Don't let
them get your elements. The five cards are The Windy, The Earthy,
The Wood, The Watery, and The Thunder. The four test cards, The
Perfect, The Cold, The Love, and The Control. Even though the
place you finished the test were erased but the gold and the
cards will come to your hand right now, see it?" "Yeah."
"Hide it! Quick! Get all of those cards and stuff protected
then you'll be safe." "Ha, ha, ha, ha. You guys are
too late. You're not good as I am sis, my name is Darken now,
and I'm the king of the Magic World. Now give me the gold and
the test cards." "No way!" Li jumped and get all
the stuff and throw it on Sakura's face but he accidentally fell
down the cliff. "Sakura, I'll love you forever, don't worry
about me!" The last thing Li said then he's long gone.
Sakura can't hold any longer, she cried and cried. "Darken,
even though you're the king of Magic World but I'm still your
sister and I have more power than you have. Sakura, I'll bring
Darken back and he won't bother you for about a day but beware."
"Sakura! Where've you been?" Said Meilin, "where's
Li?" Sakura is still sobbing but she pointed the cliff then
down and Meilin and Madison looked down and they saw Li's dead
body on the ground. "Sakura, what've you did to Li! I don't
mind if Li likes you but he's still my cousin! You gotta pay
for this." Meilin began to cry and so did Madison.
"Hey you guys, don't cry, I'll tell you what happened."
Mauri told them what happened and Meilin apologized to Sakura.
"I'll bring you and all your stuff home and things will
get better."
Second later, Sakura is sitting in the kitchen and Tori were
wondering how did she get there. Tori were going to to ask what
happened to Sakura because she was still crying but she decided
to call Madison. Madison explained everything and Tori felt so
sorry. "Sakura, I know what you're going through now, so
go to the bathroom, take a hot bath then go to bed." Sakura
did what her brother did and Tori told his dad about what happened
in the Camp.
Sakura was sleeping but the entire dream she had was the minute
that Li fell down the cliff. "Sakura, I'll love you forever,
don't worry about me!" Sakura is still thinking about this.
About a week, Sakura is like that but on the next Monday, Madison
invited Sakura to her house to see something.
"Sakura, I know this can't make you happy but I know you'll
feel better. I finished 10 tapes about you capturing cards and
the fun you had. You can go home and watch those or you can just
watch it here." Madison said and she made Sakura some cookies
and tea. Sakura watched two tapes then she brought the rest home
and watches it alone in her room. "Sakura, don't feel bad,
I can definitely sense something that is unexpected. I hope you'll
feel better." Kero said.
Sakura watched all those tapes and she once laughed when she
and Li accidentally fell in love because of the Love card. She
felt a lot better. But there's still mission behind her. Sakura
finally had a really nice sleep.
