Sen was tired. Tired beyond all belief. She let out a slow sigh as they
soared through the air. The breeze felt so good. She seemed to be in a
daze, as if trying to stay awake, but began to drift off to sleep. When...
"She's following us." A small voice said and she jumped slightly, fully awake. She looked down at Taro. She glanced over her shoulder, and saw that Haku did the same. Sen could see merely some sort of dot. But Haku had eyes sharper than a hawk's. It was Yubaba; as a dragon. She was, clearly, bigger, and faster, than he was.
He sped up.
So did she.
She slowly and silently drew nearer. Haku noted that she would catch up very quickly, and swooped downwards. Sen gasped slightly at the sudden change of direction, grasping Haku's horns tighter.
Yubaba was staring at Sen, her eyes narrowed slightly, as if waiting... Haku knew what she was doing; trying to get into Sen's mind. He hadn't had the terror of experiencing it, but had researched, and knew that it would feel like 'the largest mental pain you would ever experience.' He had also read that some had been driven insane by their minds being 'broken into.' Yubaba had the power to do this. Not to an extent to drive one insane, just to sort through one's thoughts. To see what they are thinking, their memories, their secrets. By doing this, she could add to that, having the power to controll someone.
He flew around desperately, hoping, praying, that Sen wouldn't look behind her.
As if Sen was reading his mind, her eyes stayed stubbornly fixed on the land below her. You can only sort through someone's mind if you stare into their eyes.
Haku was so close to the ground. He sped along, a few feet above it. Yubaba was tailing them closely. Haku swooped down at the ridge of a forest, disappearing into it. There he landed, beside a small lake, and Taro and Sen hopped off. They heard whooshing, and snarling, overhead. Haku transformed back into a human, making sure he would not be noticed.
"Sen, don't look at her eyes. She'll get into your mind, and she can controll you." Haku warned quietly. Sen looked almost paranoid. She nodded silently, keeping her eyes on the ground. No sound was heard. It was like that way for minutes. A shiver went down her spine, as if she could sense the presenced of something she didn't like. Haku looked around.
"I suppose she's gone. Come on." He motioned at the two, silently walking into a tiny clearing. Taro trotted after him.
Sen got up to follow, but something tugged her back by the wrist. She cried out slightly as she was jerked back into the darkness of the forest and dragged back.
Haku and Taro spun around. "Sen?" Haku called out loudly. He became very edgy, moving quickly to where he had last seen her. He called her name again, and Taro trotted beside her.
A few minutes after searching, they heard a cry, and ran towards the sound quickly.
