Hello all my adoring
fans! xD Joking!
Anyway, it has been
FOREVER since my last update, and I am very very sorry about that—I
did warn you though! Ah, high school! DX
I hope you guys haven't
given up hope for me! ;)
Well, now let's go on
with the story.
The first sound she heard was the train...
There was a dim light ahead. Chihiro walked slowly, her footsteps echoing in the damp tunnel, remembering the time she had held onto her mother's arm when they were entering and leaving. The first time she had held on because of fear, the second time to avoid looking back.
The circle of light at the end of the tunnel grew bigger, and at last Chihiro stepped into the night.She glanced at her watch. It had stopped ticking and the time now rested on 1:30.
Looking around she was relieved to see that nothing had changed. Green grass covered a soft hilly landscape. As she walked, she came upon the river. This river flowed only in the nighttime. In sunlight, the water disappeared. This was, Chihiro knew, because the Spirit Word came alive in the dark and slept when dawn emerged.
Chihiro shook her head.. 'I can't daydream now!' She said frantically. 'Haku's in touble!'
She took her shoes off and put them along with her socks in her –thank goodness—waterproof bag. Holding the strap by her teeth, she dove in. The water was warm and clear; when Chihiro dipped her head into it tasted sweet.
When she touched shore on the other side and scrambled onto the bank, she found her clothes completely dry.
She smiled and set on her way.
