The land of Clow....
Shannon took down the basket full of clothes to wash and dry by the river near the place where she would be staying.
She had only been staying there one day but already Shannon loved the land of Clow. It was not that hard for her to believe that she was born there,
it felt like home as soon as they had passed the border into the kingdom. But even as she worked hard to get all of the stains out of the clothes
she could not help but keep thinking over the same questions in her mind. Where were her parents? Why had they left her abandoned? Did they hate her?
Even though she loved her Nana with all her heart and even was a little grateful for her adopted family ( even though they worked her to the bone),
she could not help
but feel the empty space inside of her heart where her parents would have been. While she kept thinking these thoughts and repeatetly washed
a certain dark blue dress she heard
a giggle behind her.
" Why are you drowning that dress?" Shannon quickley turned around and saw a girl about her age with beautiful indigo eyes and long velvet hair. 5
Shannon blushed
to a color that resembled a bright tomatoe. She looked at the dress that she had continually whashed and found that had turned a bleached blue.
How long was i zoned out?
thoght Shannon as the girl came up to her. " Hi my name is Tomoyo Daidouji. Whats yours?"
" Sh...Shannon." " Hi Shannon! May i call you Shannon?" Shannon nodded." Well why don't you come over to my place? We have a machine that can do that."
Said the girl and pointed to the basket of clothes. " Come on!" She grabbed Shannon and the basket of clothes and brought them to a huge house.
" Is.. is this your house Daidouji-san!" " Yes, my mother is a famous merchant, and plz call me Tomoyo-chan."The place was huge! All over the walls were taprestries
and silk. " Wer'e here!" Tomoyo said and she stopped in a small room with a cold thing that seemed to bemade out of polished stone. " It's called a machine! My mother
only sells a few of these and she kept one for her-self." As she said this she dumped the contents of Shannonss basket into the Machine. It made weird noises
and before she knew it tomoyo-chan was leading to yet another room. " those clothes are those of a servant. Come i'll get you cahged into proper clothes that will make
you look so KAWAII!!" " Is that ok with your mother Tomoyo-chan? I don't want ot be a bother. Also i should be getting back soon, my family would want to know where i am."
" Don't worry about that." Tomoyo-chan said with a smile. " My mother enjoys when i have friends over. Maybe you can even spend the night! I'll ask my mother to send a message to
yours." And with that she was of, leaving Shannon with a bewildered look on her face.
30 minutes later a block away.....
Where was that stupid girl!? why had it taken so long just to wash a few of her and her daughters clothes? Then suddenly she heared something.
There was some one at the her door. It took her a whle to get there but when she did there at her door was a messenger with her basket of clothes
wich she had given to Shannon!! " A message from the Daidouji family." The Daidji family?! They were the richest family in Clow!
" Here is the laundry basket wich you had asked one of your children to wash." he said handing her the basket. That filthy girl isn't her child!she wanted to say,
but she hold her tongue. " Shannon is asking pemission to stay ovver at the Daidouji hooushold." How had that wretched girl meet the richest family in CLow!?
But maybe i can use this to my advantage.she thought as she replied. " Er... Yes she may do what she likes. But i want her make as soon as possible!" And with that
the message went to deliver the message. Not knowing that in the cruel woman's mind a plan was hatching.
End of Ch.5
