Chihiro's POV:
I could hear a sort of fluttery sound, like a heart beat, I tried to move but something warm and welcoming was preventing me from sitting up, it didn't take me long to realise that it was strong arms embracing me. I fluttered my eyelids until they opened and I looked up and saw Haku's face, he looked so peaceful and I could still see the part of him that was a child dance around his closed eyes.
Thinking I was dreaming again I reached up my free hand and gently ran my middle finger along from his temple to his chin before I realised this wasn't a dream, my heart started to race and I could feel my cheeks blush, right just calm down and breath in I told myself. Eventually, I was relaxed as I remembered what happened, Haku heard me screaming and stayed with me to make sure I was alright, he must have thought that I was a needy little child. At that point In time I didn't care, I was too comfortable and still tired so I just rested my head against his chest and fell asleep listening to that fluttery heart beat that belonged to the one I fell in love with.
I woke up again and Haku was gone, I decided to take a walk across the bridge and look at the night sky.I forgot that at night the stars were amazing here, no city lights or house lights to block the view. I suddenly remembered my parents and wondered what they would think of me now.
A sudden thud woke me from my daze, I tuned and at the end of the bridge was a dark figure walking towards me, I thought nothing of it until I could see its face. I gasped and took a few steps back, it was the man who attacked me in the alley.
'What do you want?' I asked in a hushed tone 'you' he replied slowly walking closer towards me. I then said 'Haku will be here any minute' he chuckled 'I won't need that long' he stated as i took a few more steps and fell 'the sad thing is you don't even know how rare you are' he said maliciously 'what do you mean' I asked hoping to distract him 'well. Your a sleeping spirit' he chuckled 'a what?' 'A sleeping spirit, your blood is human but if drunk by a Denseye like myself I'll become truly immortal, instead of this weak mortal soul that I am' he paused 'come on stop stalling, no one wants you around anyway, your mother drove into the van so she could be with your father away from you' he chuckled once again.
I felt sick, as if I had no energy and to top it off I was terrified of what might happen, 'Don't be sad I'll make it quick for you, I've waited seven years so I'm kind of in a rush' he added before taking another step towards me, I closed my eyes when suddenly there was complete silence 'is it over' I asked involuntarily as I opened my eyes to see Haku standing there. He grabbed my hand and pulled me up and hugged me until I couldn't breath.
