I'm just going to write most of this at one time and prolong posting it. I hope this is okay with everyone. I'm starting a new process of writing most of a story or all of it before I post it so I don't have to worry about waiting too long to write a new chapter. Enjoy!
Chapter 4
There was a huge stone room with two ornate red doors on one wall. There was a net of gold above each. There were also some huge empty vases decorating the place. It was cold and it made me feel really small.
There was an insignia of a bird on the wall between the doors. I don't know why but I went towards the door on the right. When I tried to open it the knocker started talking to me. "Aren't you even going to knock?" It asked before its eyes rolled all the way backwards. "You're the most pathetic little girl I've ever seen." It said. I glared at it.
There was a click and a series of doors opened showing me a set of rooms that were just tacky. I stood there staring before a voice said. "Well, come in." I took a deep breath to steady myself but I guess I took too long. The voice said, "I said come in."
Then I was dragged forward. It felt like a hand was grabbing my shirt and pulling me forward. The doors closed behind me when I was pulled through them. When the invisible hand let me go I fell on my face into a somersault in an office. I looked up and saw Chihiro sitting in one of the chairs unconscious.
"Chihiro." I cried running to her. She looked so pale but she still had a pulse. "Come on Chihiro. Wake up." I said shaking her.
I heard a laugh and I looked over at a woman. She was in an ugly blue dress and she had a huge pink blister on her forehead. She had huge, deep wrinkles all over her face. "She won't wake up until I let her." The woman said. "Now, what should I do with you? I could turn you into a pig like your parents or I could make you sleep until you starve like your sister." She smirked and looked at me.
I didn't know what to do. She ran the bathhouse, I knew that much. I looked around and I saw that she had huge gems on her fingers and she was counting bags of money. When she saw me looking she shut the lid of the box the money was in. I started feeling in my pockets and I found my wallet. "Is human money worth anything here?"
Her eyes widened and she leaned forward. The gleam in her eye told me this was worth a lot. "How much is there?" I quickly counted and said. "$40.75" She reached for it and I pulled it back.
"If you want this," I said holding it out. "You have to wake up my sister."
The woman nodded and snapped her fingers. Chihiro started moving and I went over to her. "Chihiro? Are you ok?"
"Satoshi?" She said. She sounded really groggy and I wondered how long she had been asleep. "Where am I?"
"A bathhouse." I said. "Don't worry. Everything is going to be fine." I smiled to make my statement more believable.
The woman laughed and shook her head. "Give me my money now." She said menacingly. I handed it over. I offered and she accepted. "Now what kind of animal would you like to be?"
I froze. I didn't know how to get out of this one. "How about you getting two more workers who will do any job you say?" I said weakly.
She laughed. "I don't need two weak humans stinking up my bathhouse. This is where the spirits come to replenish themselves. Humans are what wreck them in the first place."
Chihiro was wide awake now and she met my worried glance. She took her way out then. "Please, we really want to work here." She screamed.
Yubaba glared at her and flew over her desk making everything shake and fly around. "I don't need two weak spoiled lazy crybaby people. I have plenty of workers already. You two would just mess this place up and I don't need that."
"Please." Chihiro screamed again. She was still sitting in the chair she woke up in. Then there was a huge cry. The entire room was shaking and a huge baby's foot broke through the door. Yubaba ran over and tried to dismiss us while she tried to calm her baby. Chihiro and I started to yell more and Yubaba made a deal. "Ok, I'll give you jobs f you just be quiet."
We shut up and soon enough papers and pens started floating towards us. "Sign your name away and I'll set you up with jobs." We nodded and knelt by the fireplace so we could sign. Yubaba fixed her office by waving her hand away, muttering the entire time.
The papers flew out of our hands and Yubaba sucked some of the letters into her hand. "Satoshi and Chihiro. Such lovely names and now they're mine. Your new names are Sen and Fau. Got that? Answer me Sen and Fau."
"Yes ma'am." We said together.
"You called for me." I heard a familiar voice say. I looked over and saw Haku.
"These girls signed contracts. Get them set up with jobs." Yubaba said, dismissing us.
"Right." He said, turning to look at us. "What are your names?"
We looked at each other. "I'm Sa- oh. I'm Fau and this is my sister Sen."
"Ok. Fau and Sen. Follow me." He turned around and we started to follow him. Time to start our new lives.
A little short but there it is. Please Review!
