Chapter 8

We ran through the hallways but the only way to go up was the elevator and we couldn't get to it. We finally got stuck at a dead end with a window. I opened it u and looked outside. Here was a ladder leading up. "Come on, Sen." I said climbing out.

As soon as I put my foot down I started to slip and Chihiro was right behind me. We were lucky we didn't fall off the roof. We climbed up but the only way to get to the ladder was to walk over a pipe. "Fau, I don't think it will hold us both."

We looked at each other. We had always done everything together but now we had to separate. "You go get Haku. I'll go back and try to meet you there." She started to walk back but then turned around. "Here take this." She handed me the medicine. I started to protest but she cut me off. "Use some on Haku and we can use the rest on mom and dad."

I smiled and hugged her. For some reason I couldn't lose Haku and she understood that. We separated and turned the opposite way. The pipe was old and creaky. I rolled up my pant legs and tied my shirt tight. I took a deep breath and put my foot down.

The pipe started to give almost immediately so I started running. The pipe was coming off the wall and collapsing on itself. I reached the ladder as soon as possible and held on for dear life. I huddled against the ladder for a minute. I had always hated heights and yet here I was dangling off a ladder at least 7 stories in the air for some guy I barely knew.

I sighed and steeled my nerves. I didn't know Haku very well but I knew he was important to me. Climbing the ladder wasn't that hard, I just couldn't look down without feeling sick and dizzy. Heights weren't that bad but the feeling that I could fall was terrifying. I closed my eyes and breathed for a second but I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked over and saw a dark shape with Yubaba's hair flying towards me. I gasped, Yubaba was back.

I started climbing as fast as I could then I huddled on a window sill. The window was locked but I kept banging on it with my arm. "I don't have time for this." I whispered. I turned around and started throwing my whole body against the window.

The window finally opened and I landed on my back in a bathroom. I got up and started running. I didn't know where I was but I had to find Haku and give him the medicine. I ended up in a green padded room with pillows, toys and an oversized bed in it.

I started walking when I heard Yubaba's voice. She said something about a no face and not eating anyone else. "Eww. Haku is bleeding all over the carpet. Get him out of here. He'll be dead soon anyway." Then she turned and started walking towards me. I jumped under the bed and moved some pillows in front of me. I heard Yubaba talking and moving some things around. The light went out and I peeked out from under the bed.

Yubaba was gone so I started walking towards her office. I tripped over a toy and landed on the pillows. When they started moving I jumped up and moved away. A giant baby stood up and looked straight at me. "You came in here to make me sick, you bad germ."

The baby could talk. "No, I'm not a germ, I'm a girl. I have to go." I started towards Yubaba's office but the baby grabbed my arm.

"Play with me." He demanded. He started squeezing my arm. "Play with me or I'll break your arm."

I lifted up my bloody palm. "Look! I've got germs." The baby started crying so I ran into the office. Three green heads were pushing Haku towards a hole in front of the fire. "Haku! Get away from him!" I shouted as I ran towards him.

"Get away." I said to the heads as I shooed them. I leaned over Haku and touched his neck. Lifeguard training paid off. "Haku, are you ok? Please do something. Can you hear me?" The heads started making noises and crowded around me so I told them. "Shut your mouths. Get away."

An ugly bird came from behind me and started attacking me. I lifted my arms to guard my face. Get away. Stop it." I shouted. The heads started pushing Haku again so I grabbed onto his neck. "Stop it." I said. The bird was still attacking me and my cheek got cut. A noise alerted me to the fact that the baby had left the nursery. He started threatening me but I couldn't move without losing Haku.

A paper bird came from my shoulder. "What a spoiled little brat." It said. It flew in front of the baby. "Shut your mouth. You're a bit of a porker aren't you?" The bird flew to the ground and a see through version of Yubaba appeared. "Still see through." She commented.

"Mama?" The baby asked.

"You pea brain. Can't you even tell me from your real mother?" With a point of her finger she turned the baby into a mouse. "There now, your body matches your brain. Let's see, what else can we mess with?" She then turned the bird into a puny black bird and the heads into a copy of the baby. "This is our little secret. You tell anyone and I'll rip your little mouth out." She threatened me.

"Who are you?" I asked boldly.

"Zeniba, I'm Yubaba's twin sister. It was nice of you to lead me straight to this dragon's hiding place. Now hand him over to me." She said.

"What do you want with him? He's hurt." I said defensively.

"Too bad." She said. "He stole my magic gold seal and I want it back." She wasn't that nice.

"Haku wouldn't steal. He's a good person." I said. He was my friend and this lady wouldn't insult him like this.

"He became my sister's apprentice to steal her magic secrets and now he's stolen mine. He's a greedy little thief and I want my seal back." She said meanly.

"No." I said. She wouldn't take Haku. The heads started making noise and while she went to take care of them the mouse and bird climbed onto my shoulder.

Haku woke up and cut the paper bird in half. "Ooh. A paper cut." She moaned.

And then, we were falling.
