Prologue: Bleeding walls
A girl stepped onto the cold bathroom floor and stood quietly by the mirror. The quietness swallowed the small room and the walls seemed to cave it; it was the kind of silence that bothered your ears. The girl looked at the reflection staring grumpily back at her. Soft brown hair that framed her face and eyes the color of the gray sea. So dull, she thought.
She turned the knobs of the shower and stuck her hand through the curtain to feel for the perfect temperature. She left her clothes in a knot on the floor and took another look at the girl in the mirror. At the age of fifteen she had a long waist, long hair and a normal sized chest. So dull, she thought.
The steam of the shower enclosed her in the tile walls. She stood there for awhile, letting the water soak through her hair. Then the girl reached for the soap when she noticed a bright and thick red spot on the floor in the midst of the whitewashed bathroom tub. She bent down and touched it with her finger. What's that? Is it paint? Is it blood?
More red drips were tumbling to the floor and onto her toes. The girl lifted one of her feet in alarm. Am I bleeding?
The red liquid was now in puddle. The girl stumbled to the far wall trying not to touch the substance. She was becoming panicked when a deep red trickle ran down her cheek. She looked up and her throat went hoarse with terror. The water coming from the faucet sprayed a rain of scarlet that spilled on the floor and down the drain. And more and more of it fell from the tap as it covered the girl's skin in rivers of crimson stains. It swallowed her… she couldn't escape. She watched it in horror, this can't be happening!
She fell out of the tub with a splash of blood on the floor. There was red coming out of the sink as well. A choking sound came from her chest as the steam from the shower consumed her. The walls started to condense and got smaller and smaller, trapping the girl as she fell to the floor,
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO,"
The rest of this chapter is in part two. If you wish to know what happens next in "Chihiro's Flame," please read and review "The Boy in the Mirror."
