Chapter one
The Dream
Blood. Fear. A beautiful girl. A huge white wolf. His dream was the same every night. Ashitaka sat up suffenly awake. Even though it was a cool night he was soaked with sweat. The moonlight streamed in onto his wife asleep next to him. Her long black hair fell across the pillow, without her makeup on she looked very differet from the brave front she always put on in public. Out in the streets there was barely a flicker of feeling at the site of her dead friends, but once out of the way of staring faces she broke down in tears. Whatching her breath steadily Ashitaka relaxed and curled up again. He must have fallen asleep for he was woken up by his little daughter jumping on him. "Wake up Daddy!" she giggled, a miniture version of her mother. "Taka!" sighed a werey voice from beside him, " it's really early sweetheart." Glancing out of the window he saw that the sun was just coming over the horizen. "Hey Taka!" He said, insparation coming "why don't you see how slowly you can get dressed? If you're the last person downstairs you get a presant!" "Yeah!" she shreiked and dashed out. "You can be in charge of getting a presant!" Laughed his wife. "Hey I got rid of her didn't I?" He retorted. Then he clamberd out of bed to the window. Looking out at the forest, his memory flickerd, making him tense and rack his brains. Ever since he had an accident while out riding his memory had completly gone. He could only remember from when he woke up, a week later. Lady Eboshi nursed him back to health, and before they knew it the fell in love and got married. Their daughter was only small but very feisty already. Anyway, every now and then his memory gave a jump. "Darling, are you okay?" Arms around his waist and a sweet voice in his ear broke the dream. "I- I had a memory. I saw something I've never seen! And that dream was back again," mutterd Ashitaka. Eboshi frowned in thouht. " but just now. There was a girl- with- with brown hair and- riding on a big dog?! Do you know who she is?" He quetioned his wife, whatching her face carefully. She opened her mouth to answer, then turned away quickly but not before Ashitaka saw her blushing guiltily. "No" she muttered. "Yes you do!" "I don't!" She shreiked. Ashitaka sighed "Look, will you please tell me, I deserve to know about my past you know. Just tell me?" She still shook her head then sat on the bed and started to brush her hair. That made him realy angary. How could she just ignore him, and denie him the one thing that might trigger his memory. His temper flared. He had no idea why the smallest thing made him angary but the did! (Just so you know, it's because of the curse. Even though he's gone he'd still be left with some traits) Grabbing her shoulders he pulled her up and dug his nails into her pale fleash. "I know you know who she is, I'm not stupid! NOW TELL ME ABOUT HER!" His wife cept strum, shaking her head once more. Rage boiled through him. Shaking her he screamed, then let her go, so she banged into the wall, hitting out in a blind rage. For some reason his right arm was burning with pain. Then he caught sight of himself in the mirror. He froze and stared at himself, in horror. He bent down and pulled Eboshi up. She shrank away, but thn saw he'd recovered. "I'm so sorry, I don't know what came over me. But I really want to know who she is?" His wife smiled weakly. "I understand. She is- San. You fell in, in love with her. She was raised by wolf gods, and we called her Princess Mononoke. I didn't want to tell you about her because-" "Mummy, Daddy I'm hungary!" Taka was standing in the doorway. "I'll take care of her!" Said Ashitaka quickly "tell me later."
What do you think so far? I know you'll leap at my necks for Ashitaka marrying Eboshi, but I needed someone significant to San. And for making him so mean, but it's the aftereffects of the curse and important to the story, you might see why later! Should I write more? Well tough I'm gonna! :)
