Chapter 3
Chihiro had packed her clothes but only little since she knew she wouldn't need it. She was still thinking about what she thought last night and still couldn't figure out what to do. Her mom called her down for breakfast and Chihiro descended the stairs and went into the kitchen, she saw Haku was already sitting in a chair at the table. She blushed when she saw him and sat down at the table. Chihiro's mom had made pancakes and sat them on the table, when Chihiro saw Haku fiddling with the syrup bottle she laughed and opened the bottle for him and told him to put it on his food. He did and had a look of surprise at how good it tasted. When they got up to leave Chihiro's mom stopped them to make sure Chihiro had everything she needed. Soon they headed out the door and were on their way to the red building that lead them to Chihiro's real home.
'I'm finally home' she thought. She smiled brightly and Haku was glad to see her smile. 'She's much prettier when she smiles' he thought. He remembered all that had happened when she was last here like how she had broken the contract with Yubaba, gotten her parents' back 'and made me fall in love with her' he blushed as he thought that. They walked up the stairs and to the bathhouse, It and the streets looked horrible, like all the forces of nature had come down and destroyed everything. The bathhouse was barley standing, with the paint now deteriorating and empty inside . "What happened here?" asked Chihiro with sadness in her voice. " Well first we started to have less customers than usual, then they stopped coming altogether. People started to leave the town, and now it's all just a wasteland" Haku said.
"After all that happened, people in the bathhouse started to disappear." he paused " I am the only one left, they tried to capture me but I escaped and that's when I went to find you" he said. Chihiro looked like she was about to cry, she had lost her friends and her home. They went inside the bath house, when Chihiro saw what was inside a bucket of water next to her turned into ice. This went unnoticed as they took in what was before them, the inside was torn to pieces. "It wasn't like this when I left, it looks like they were searching for something" said Haku. 'or someone' he thought in the back of his mind.
