Prologue: The Beginning of Their End
"Get that spot over there!" Kacey stated to her sister, pointing to the dirty area of the bath as they cleaned its huge interior. "If we miss anything, Yubaba will have our heads."
"Alright, alright! Once I finish it, though, get the token for a saltwater soak!" Sarah said, slipping into the tub and quickly maneuvering her way over to the spot.
Kacey nodded and made her way to the wall to pull out a section and added a few red colored tabs to a string. She pulled down on it and the token went flying up the hole and into the abyss where it eventually went to Kamaji. The water spout came down and Sarah finished up the spot, then ran up the side of the tub and yanked on a sting, the water flowing into the tub. The steam rose steadily as Sarah took a deep breath. "There's something about the smell of sea water that I like." She commented.
"Eh, I like it too, but I hate how it makes my hair so messy." She commented. "But I love the smell of the beach, and the sound of the waves crashing. It's beautiful."
Sarah sighed and smiled. She then pulled on the sting to make the water stop and she slid down to meet up with Kacey. "Alright, we have 10 minutes before we drain it." She told her.
"Now we just sit and wait here for the water to stop." She stated, sighing sadly. "Hey Sarah?"
"Hmm? What?" She asked, taking out her hair tie and tying her hair back up.
"Well, I cannot seem to remember, but I have this dreams of a place called home....do you know what it was?" She asked her. But guessing it would be the same ''Home? This is our home, Yubaba took us in, remember?" She answered.
"Yes, Yubaba did take us in, but I don't remember anything about our home home." Sarah said. "What's with all this reminiscing, hmm? Have you been daydreaming again?" She teased.
"I don't know; I just feel like we don't belong here, everyone else looks and acts different. But I suppose it is due to use being taken in. Yet, I don't know. I feel this pain in my chest at the word home." She stated, finishing the scrub on the floorboards.
Sarah smiled. "Kacey, don't think about such things. We've been living here for so long and well…Oh, here, the 10 minutes is up. Pull the draining plug, would you?" She asked.
Kacey did just that, and when she did she also heard a flurry of screams and all their guests and workers ran past their stall.
"What the hell is going on?!" Sarah exclaimed, looking out. Her eyes widened at the sight. It was almost like a shadow, it slid along the ground like a snake. It chased her into the stall and then became life-like, looking around like a lost child, but showing no emotion of it. "K-kacey, run!" She yelled. Then the shadow leapt and Sarah fell to the ground.
Kacey tried to scream in horror but nothing came out, it was as though she was robbed of voice, as she saw Sarah being attacked. She leaned against the wall like a deer in the headlights and then another shadow creature came in, followed by more of them, and she went to move her foot to run but then one of those shadow creatures came at her, and her last sight was that of darkness.
