Chapter 3

Devyn walked home, the day lying heavily on her mind. What did Sakura
and Syaoran do? Why couldn't Sakura tell? Devyn was swamped in questions
about the accident. A light little corner in her brain had the memories
of all her new friends but they were blocked by Sakura's accident. Devyn
shook her head, trying to clear it of thought. She arrived home and
quickly went to bed.
Devyn woke suddenly. She turned her blurry gaze to her indi-glo alarm
clock to see that it was midnight. A strange presence surrounded her.
But it mainly pointed to her window. Suddenly, a board appeared on her
bed spread along with a sword, scabbard, and some small pieces of paper
with Japanese writings on them. Devyn not too clean about what was going
on picked up the sword and placed it in the scabbard, which she had
swung over her back diagonally. She tucked the pieces of paper into her
P.J. bottoms. She looked down at the last item on the bed. The board
that looked an awful lot like Chinese checkers. She snatched it up and
tucked it between her back and sword. She had everything. She looked out
her window towards the point where this strange feeling felt the
strongest. A glow was emitting from the park down the street. That was
her destination. She hiked up the pants and silently crept out of the
house to see what this sense was.
