Just A Dream
"Haku, Haku come back! Don't leave me. Please!" I called out while chasing after him. He turned around and stopped. "I'm sorry Chihiro I have to go. But I promise we will meet soon.", he said as he walked away and tears stained my cheeks.
"H-Haku? Wait who's Haku and why am I calling out his name?". Strange, I thought to myself the name felt so familiar, yet I didn't remember it at all. Oh well I thought as I went to the washroom to wash my face.
After I finished up in the washroom I went down to the kitchen. "Good morning Chihiro" said my mom. "Good morning, mom", I said back to her. Dad was already at work as usual. "Mom?" "Yes sweetie?", "Do you know anyone named Haku?", I asked. "Sorry Chihiro I've never herd of him, why?", she replied back. "It's just that I was dreaming of someone named Haku, that's all". "Well,Chihiro if it helps his name kind of sounds like the Kohaku River.". "You're right it does sound like it, thanks mom", I replied as I started to smile, something told me today was going to be a beautiful day. "Oh Chihiro, I made your favorite, chocolate chip pancakes!" "Mom did I ever tell you that you're the best". As I munched on my pancakes a memory came back to me, it was from when I was little. I had dropped my shoe in the Kohaku River and went in to retrieve it only to start drowning. The next thing I knew was that I was on the shore perfectly fine.
Come to think of it that river sounded very familiar too. "Mom I'm gonna go outside for a bit", "Okay sweetie have fun". As I went outside I caught a mere glimpse of a silver being flying in the sky. "W-What is that, it looks so beautiful". As I said this the creature started to descend. "I-It's a dragon!", I said wide eyed. The dragon landed beside me and started to transform into a boy, as I watched shocked.
