Chapter 2: Ghosts, Spirits, and ED's Oh my!
Haku came running down from the bathhouse. They probably didn't make it off in time he figured, and they're probably scared and confused. He ran down towards the newly formed lake and followed the trail of Ed's odor. And soon he found the boys huddled with Chihiro who was crying in the corner behind one of the stalls. The Eds were the first to notice Haku.
"What do you want kid?" asked Eddy, trying to mask his fear, but not doing very well at it. Haku reached into his pocket and pulled out a few berries
"Here. You have to eat some food from this world or you will disappear."
"NO!" screamed Chihiro"Don't worry, it's not going to turn you into a pig."
The Eds, knowing how Haku had helped them before, each took a berry and swallowed them whole. Chihiro then ate one as well. "Now come with me." said Haku, holding his hand out for Chihiro. She grabbed his and Haku motioned for the Ed's to grab on. And then, they we're off. Haku ran off with the other 4 in tow.
"WHAAAA! "
"WIND...DRYING...CORNEAS!"
"I'M WINDY SOMEWHERE ELSE GUYS!"
Haku sped through the streets, stalls, and gardens until he finally stopped at a gate right next to the bridge leading to the bathhouse. There, Haku ducked behind some bushes. "Okay, now all 4 of you need to hold your breaths.
"What? Why?" asked Chihiro .
"Because right now there is a spell on you that makes you invisible to everyone , but if you breath then they will see you.
"Well that's a stupid kind of spell."
"Too bad, so sad shorty. Live with it."
Eddy grumbled as he inhaled a huge gulp of air. Everyone else did the same and followed Haku across the bridge. While crossing though, they passed a spirit with only a mask for a face, which seemed to see them even through the spell. Before they could look back however, a frog wearing the same outfit as Haku jumped in front of them. "Master Haku, welcome back!" It yelled.
Chihiro and Ed gasped "Talking Frog! I must touch it!"
That did it. The frog suddenly saw 4 humans appear to the side of Haku. "Humans!", it yelled as it tried to jump up for a closer look, only to have Haku freeze him in mid-air. "Let's go!" Haku exclaimed as he sped past everyone into a small door to the bathhouse gardens. Just as the door closed shut behind them, the frog fell from his stasis spell and noticed that he along with the humans were gone.
