Chapter One: You Need Me Like A Bad Habit
I was 15 and unhappy. Why you ask?
Well you try moving to a different town in the middle of nowhere sitting in the backseat of a small car for the past 13 hours without decent sleep because there wasn't even enough space to lay down because of all the boxes next to you that keep reminding you of the looming fact that you might never see your friends back home again for a few months, years, decades. Who knows? Mabye not until you run into them unintentionally as if fate had marked that day special. Depressing really because I dont really believe in fate.
I was bored and all I could do was sit and rest my elbow on the side of the car and rest my head on my hand while listening to my ipod. Thank god it was a 60gig one or else I might have died. Watching the scenery change was the only action I really got at the time until I heard my father speak up and talk to my mother.
"Honey, I think were lost"
"Don't by silly, I know where were going! I just have to take a right turn and well be back on track"
" Just pull over there and I'd feel much safer honey."
"don't worry I got it alll under control!"
My father said to my mom who was sincerely unconvinced. I turned my head back to the scenery and had the same bored look on my face like a few seconds ago considering that it was all grassy fields with a few houses together here and there. But I have to admit there was something a bit odd going on later down the road. We were suddenly passing by the small humble town into an area that looked like it hadn't been visited in ages.
" Sweetcakes I really don't think this is the way to the house…"
" really now! Trust me!"
As we drove farther down the path I noticed large stones that looked like weird people that were carved on to them. They kind of creeped me out because they had a weird smile on their face like they were on drugs or somthing. Yet someway or another they were really cool to look at when you get bored like me. So i stared at them as we passed them. We drove farther and farther down the path until we stopped. I awoke from my bored stare into the sky to see that we stopped in front of one of those weird druggie lookin stones and behind it was a tunnel. My curioustity peaked, I stepped out of the car and felt my back crack in seven different places as I grabbed my camera and walked over to the stone infront of the car, all the while stretching my body.
The stone looked really old. With moss and stuff all over it. I stepped back and took a picture.
"chiyoko! Get back in the car!"
"aw come on mom please can we look around? We've been driving allll day!"
" yeah I guess shes right I need a break too shnookums" my dad said.
I cringed. Shnookums? dude, get a new word please...
"oh alright" my mom gave in as both of them stepped out of the car.
"you can go on ahead and look around Chiyoko. Your mother and I will stay here for a bit. Don't go too far though okay?"
"okay!"
I headed into the dark tunnel holding my jacket closer to me because of the wind that rushed around me.
" huh? What the…"
a train station?
"Looks like nobodys been here for a while" I said looking around and watching the dust through the light dance. I took a few choice pictures and kept walking till I got to a nice grassy hill with flowers.
I layed down and picked a flower or two and sat enjoying the wind on my face as I sang softly to my favorite songs because I still had my ipod. The smell of fresh grass was heavey and the temperature was just right with a nice breeze. It was perfect. I took a few moments to relax and rolled around in the grass for kicks but eventually got up and hopped on the stones to cross the river. It looked as if there used to be a town across the bridge I was on so I calmly kept walking across till I saw someone sitting on the bridge rail. I gasped and he turned his head and stared at me.
"who are you?"
" who wants to know?"
" I asked you first"
" I don't care"
" you're a cheeky one"
"w-what?"
"you know, its rude to not introduce yourself to someone who just wants to know your name"
" ill introduce myself when you do it first"
" my names Haku"
" and mines Chiyoko. Nice to meet you. What is this place?"
"a place where you shouldn't be"
"now whose being rude? I can go wherever I want thanks."
"too true but your only mortal and this is a place for spirits. So you clearly don't belong."
I cocked my head to the side in true curiousity. Now it wasn't just because of the fact he just called me a mortal and mentioned spirits to me ( the weird lunatic) but it was mostly because I saw this GIGANTIC bird flying like a bullet behind him coming twords us. He seemed to notice I was looking past him and glanced over his back.
"oh no! its Yubabas spy! Quick! Hide! NOW!"
"what? why? Spy? Oh my! hey i ryhmed!OH MY GOD THAT THINGS HUGE! Holy sh-"
" MOVE!"
He said as he shoved me to the floor. I closed my eyes from the impact of hitting my head on the ground but when I did close my eyes I could feel the wind rushing over us as the bird sped passed us, narrowly missing us. Before I could even think about how this Haku person was already on top of me and didn't even tell me his last name, he grabbed my hand, pulled me up, and procedded to lead me away from the bird that was circling over us as it was waiting to dive at us again.
By the way, as I was running. I took pictures. I know. Shameless, considering the fact that bird looked like it was going to kill me. Whatever. im a photographer. Beat that!
"what are you doing!"
"taking pictures! Whats it look like!" I yelled back huffily to this " Haku" person as we kept running. He threw a questioning what-the-hell glance over at me and he just shook his head as we ran past the vacant town that was full of restraunts from what I could tell. I couldn't tell much since I was more concentrated on keeping up with this guy. I swear it was like he could run like the wind.
"quick get down! Mmph!"
I stumbled over him because of the sudden stop. I wasn't paying attention…I was taking pictures…ill never tell him that though.
We tumbled into the field of flowers that he lead me too. We finally came to a stop and I was on top this time I might add. I blushed a bit when I realized this. We both looked away and blushed kind of and I quickly got off him. He was cute, yes, but I didn't know him. I have standards.
"w-what the!"
"sshhh…shut up!"
He whispered urgently to me as he pushed my head down to the ground with his hand. The field was covering us as shelter as we looked to the sky as the bird circled around 4 or 5 times till it decided to leave. We both sat up and sighed. I sighed because I was tired from running like that and I have no clue what he sighed about. Not that I cared really.
" I told you this world isn't yours. Your just a mortal."
"umm…excuse me but it would seem to me that you are too unless you are a spirit which is completely crazy talk that I do not wish to engage in"
"I'm the river and wind spirit"
"…yeah...no...just...no " i said shaking my head.
Now at this point anyone would run away because if this person thinks that he is the "river and wind spirit" he obviously needs to be retained in the phycopath hospital. Who knows who he might be next. I mean, mabye he suffers from multiple personality disorders. Freddy Kugger might be his next personality, so I did exactly as I said anyone else would do. Run-away...but dont think diffrently of me because I DO think outside the box still. I just felt that now wasn't the time to take chances. Getting killed and what not.
" no wait! You'll be captured!"
" yeah sure buddy catch ya later!"
I yelled back at him as I ran my heart out back to the vacant town but something was seriously wrong.
A. the town looked like it was in business and not at all vacant because the signs and lamps were all lit while there was the smell of food in the air.
And B. If theres one thing I hate the most in this world it would be ghosts and things that I don't know about that are supernatural. And what I saw might have been both. What I do know was that there was tons of them. Tall black see through ghosts or mabye what Haku was talking about. Spirits. Whatever it was had bright eyes and one of them was right infront of me. It gave me the willies and the last thing I did before I fainted into the arms of someone behind me was take a picture.
Bad habits die hard bitch.
