2. The Wrong Turn
*****
The weather was warm. Chihiro didn't bother getting her coat from the remaining box the movers were about to carry into the moving van. She went outside, leaving the door open.
"Chihiro! Hurry up!" called her mother, gesturing her to get into the car.
Chihiro got into the car slowly to savour the last moments with her old home.
"Good bye," Chihiro said as the car drove away from their neighbourhood. Chihiro waved to the house until it was merely a speck in the distance.
She slumped into her seat suddenly feeling grumpy from the lack of sleep she got last night.
"How did you sleep last night Chihiro?" Her father asked, not taking his eyes of the road.
Chihiro just moaned and grumbled under breath and lay on the car seat with her right side to her parents.
"Why do we have to move to the middle of no where?" sputtered Chihiro curling into a small ball so her parents couldn't see her face.
"Chihiro!" Scolded her mother, "The town may not be attracting, but it's different and new. You may like it there and besides, the house is very pretty."
Chihiro closed her eyes. "I liked my old house better."
"You haven't even seen the house yet Chihiro," her father remarked, "You may change your mind." He turned left at the fork road. "It's going to be about an hour or so until we reach our new home" he told his wife casually.
Chihiro kicked a medium sized cardboard box beside her.
"Why did we have to move so far???" She mumbled crossly as two of her stuffed bears fell out of the box and tumbled down onto the floor making both the bears dusty and filthy. This only caused Chihiro to get more crossed.
"Chihiro, don't kick that box!" Her mother scolded again, "My best china plates are in there."
"Besides," her father said enthusiastically, "that's the whole point of moving, to go far away." He drifted off in mid sentence and continued driving.
His words did not ease Chihiro. It only made her stomach lurch, yearning to be back in her room talking and giggling with her best friend Lily.
Chihiro rested her eyes. She was now too tired to complain anymore. She just drifted off with a scent of fresh air filling her nostrils.
-----
Chihiro opened her eyes.
The same boy was in front of her again, smiling.
Chihiro looked around. They were in the same dark blue room as before with the water tiles. Ripples of water appeared under her feet as she moved around in a circle examining the room more closely. The room was very plain. (Nothing to see but broken fallen poles, all rusted and mouldy.)
The boy kept on smiling at Chihiro watching her examine every inch of the poles.
'This place is old,' she thought to herself as she touched one of the cracked poles. It felt damp and soft.
She finally realized that the boy was watching her. Chihiro quickly bowed.
"Gomen! I didn't know you were her.and. and I was curious and."
The boy put his pointing finger on her lips to silence her.
"It's okay," he said gently feeling her hair with his fingers.
Chihiro grew uneasy and looked away from the boy's gaze. Chihiro looked at him again after he had stopped feeling her hair. Her eye's widened.
"You're the same boy!" She exclaimed pointing her finger at him clearly forgetting her manners.
"Yes, indeed," replied the boy putting his hands behind his back and walking away from Chihiro smoothly. Ripples appeared under his feet with each step he took.
The boy stopped dead in his tracks, his smile fading and his voice suddenly becoming serious. "Your in danger Chihiro."
"What?" Chihiro said, thinking to herself that she had misheard him.
"But do not worry," the boy said smiling again. He turned around and faced Chihiro.
"I will guard you will all my might guiding you to safety as well as aiding your suggestions, but I will not help you in the path you take whether good or bad. That is your decision. So you must think about your actions over before committing them or else situations may turn drastic."
Chihiro stared at him blankly.
The boy continued, ignoring her puzzled face.
"I cannot guide you in your position in this world though, but I promise you once you've crossed the river I'll be by your side until I breathe my very last breath."
"I don't get you," Chihiro said quietly so that the boy had to lean over to hear her.
"You'll soon understand, but right now is not the time to learn, but a time of warning," replied the boy solemnly.
Chihiro remained quiet, not knowing what to say.
The boy looked at her; smiling, then remembered something suddenly that he snapped his fingers causing the sound to echo all over the quiet sanctuary. Chihiro jumped.
"I haven't told you my name yet have I?" He asked giving another warm smile at Chihiro. Chihiro looked at the smiling boy and nodded.
"It's not much of a name, but I've forgotten my real name and the one Ubaba had given me since I've escaped."
"Since you've escaped?" repeated Chihiro. The boy nodded.
"I'll explain later, but right now your going to wake up any minute and you need to know my name to-."
Chihiro started to shake uncontrollably. Her body felt hot and stiff. The only thing that seemed to be moving in here body was her beating heart (it was beating like there was no tomorrow.) She felt weird and sickly. The atmosphere was changing before her eyes. The air smelled squished and funny. The tiles were disappearing slowly.
"What's going on???" screamed a frightened Chihiro falling onto her bottom because the remaining tiles starting shaking.
"Great," muttered the boy scornfully. He turned to face Chihiro.
"Wake up now!" he screamed eyeing her seriously, "She's here! Get out!"
With that the floor disappeared completely. Chihiro shrieked as she felt her body give way.
She was falling.
-----
Chihiro woke up.
She got up alarmed where she was. Her head hit the car ceiling, which made a loud thud. She rubbed her head gently as see opened her eyes to find herself back in her father's car. Chihiro's mother turned her head at Chihiro alarmingly.
"Chihiro be careful. Don't hit anything fragile," she said turning her head back to face the never-ending road.
Chihiro looked at the clock as see yawned lazily. She had only slept for half an hour. There was no point to keep awake for another thirty minutes, but now Chihiro felt awake as ever. It would take forever to get back to sleep and by then they'd be at their house.
She slumped back into her chair miserably. Her stomach was feeling queasy from her dream.
After twenty minutes at staring at parched land and abandoned warehouses, Chihiro's mother turned again and said, "Chihiro."
Chihiro took her gloomy eyes off the boring sites and looked at her mother absentmindedly.
"Yes?"
Her mother took her eyes off Chihiro and started to rummage through a fairly large bag in front of her.
"I almost forgot to give you this." she said, finally taking her hands out of the bag and hold out beautiful pink roses. There was a card attached to it. Chihiro looked at the writing. It looked awfully familiar.
"It's from you friend Lily," she said stretching her hand out with the bouquet for Chihiro to take.
Chihiro snatched it from her hands causing her mother to scold Chihiro under her breath.
Chihiro stared at the bouquet, examining it carefully. Five of the flowers were squashed and crippled, ready to fall off dead.
"Why didn't you give this to me earlier???" cried Chihiro angrily, glaring at her mother in disgust. "It's squashed!"
"Don't look at me like that Chihiro!" snapped her mother, "Quit your whining."
After a minute her mother looked at Chihiro distastefully.
"Don't smother your flowers like that Chihiro. They're going to die."
Chihiro completely ignored her and continued to smell and look at the last present Lily would ever give her.
The rest of the trip went on quietly, with a tinge of sourness in the air.
(Now we're starting the movie part! ^^ Please read 'cause I added parts in there! And changed the ending a bit.)
-----
Chihiro looked at Lily's card and read out loud, "I'll miss you Chihiro, Your best friend Lily."
Her bouquet covered her face from her parents. Chihiro didn't care. All she wanted to do was stare at the flowers all day. She missed Lily more then ever now. She missed her old home.
"Chihiro," her father called out to her.
Chihiro ignored him, but then he called her voice again.
"Chihiro."
She tried to ignore it again but knew if she didn't look up he would be calling her name through the whole trip, waiting for her to answer. She gave her father a grunt to tell him she was listening.
"We're almost there."
Chihiro lowered her bouquet to reveal her gloomy face staring at the car ceiling blankly. Her daydream of her old house had vanished and she was back in the crowded car full of bags and boxes that Chihiro was yearning to kick in her frustrations, but restrained herself. Her mother would be furious.
She gripped her bouquet tightly as she placed it on her chest lightly. It was her only friend now.
"This really is the middle of nowhere," remarked her mother looking at the small town calmly. "I'm going to have to go to the next town to shop."
"We'll just have to learn to like it," replied Chihiro's father, his eyes also turned to look at the town surrounding them.
"Look Chihiro, there's your new school," he said, taking his eyes completely off the road for just a few seconds. "Looks great doesn't it?"
Chihiro's mother also looked at her husbands direction.
"It doesn't look so bad."
Still clutching her flowers, Chihiro got up slowly and reluctantly. She looked out from the window with her head barely visible.
The town was old. Most of the buildings were rusty and the old paint was peeling off. There weren't many stores in the area. Mainly tall trees and deserted roads. The school was fairly big, but then again, so was her old school. There were cracks all over the walls and the plaster was showing behind most of the painted areas. The place reminded Chihiro of a ghost town, but she didn't care. She just wanted to go home to her old house and her old friends.
She stuck out her tongue at the school and the town and lowered her head. She curled slightly.
"It's gonna stink. I liked my old school."
She looked at her flowers again, hoping to find comfort in them. Something was wrong. Chihiro gasped in horror.
She stood up from her seat.
"Mom! My flowers are dying!"
She showed the withering flowers at her unimpressed mother.
"I told you not to smother them like that. We'll put them in water once we get to our new home."
Chihiro made a sour face as her mother turned back to face her front.
"I finally get a bouquet and it's a good-bye present now it's depressing."
Chihiro sat bat down at her seat mournfully. Chihiro's mother looked at Chihiro's good-bye card as she talked to her stubborn daughter.
"Daddy gave you a rose for your birthday, don't you remember?"
"Yeah one, just one rose isn't a bouquet."
Chihiro's mother gave Chihiro back her card and said, "Hold onto your card, I'm opening the window and quit whining. It's fun to move to a new place. It's an adventure."
Chihiro stayed silent as the wind splashed her face coolly. Her father slowed the car down to a halt and waited for the coast to clear. After that, he turned right and began driving normally again.
Chihiro put the good-bye card in her pocket, making sure that it was tucked and secure. The car turned a left and they went up hill. Chihiro looked at her flowers, but did not smell or put her face in it. She was too worried to wreck it even more.
The car suddenly landed on a halt on a dirt road. Chihiro's father stuck his head out of his open window, eyeing the place curiously.
"Wait, did I take the wrong turn? This can't be right."
Chihiro's mother looked up to a hill on her side. There were little houses at the top of the hill.
"Look! There's our house!"
Her father looked around.
"Huh?"
"It's the blue one on the end."
Her husband looked at her direction.
"Oh, your right. I must have missed the turn off. This road should get us there."
"Honey don't take a short cut, you always get us lost."
"Trust me, it's gonna work," reassured Chihiro's father. He pushed the gas pedal and they were off in the new direction her father thought was right.
Chihiro looked out the window curiously. Little stone houses were nestled in front of a tree.
"What are those stones? They look like little houses."
"There shrines. Some people think little spirits live there."
They said nothing for a while. The road was rocky and the car kept on jumping up and down because of this.
Chihiro closed her eyes uncomfortably. She could see the boy. Chihiro quickly opened her eyes again. The boy was gone. She closed her eyes. She could see the boy. She opened her eyes. The boy was gone.
Chihiro closed her eyes again. This time leaving them shut. The boy was there again.
'You again," Chihiro thought. The boy nodded. She knew he could read her thoughts.
"Chihiro," he said sternly. "Turn back."
'What?'
"Turn back!"
'I don't get you.'
"TURN BACK!" he shouted swinging his hand back to his side.
"She has me. I can't protect you. You'll be seen. Your parents-. Don't go across the river. You'll be doomed."
'What?'
"She has me Chihiro! Don't go across the river! Your taking the wrong turn in your destiny! Go back! You don't have much time! Make your father turn back! NOW!"
Chihiro quickly opened her eyes. Sweat was dribbling down her brow. She looked around. They were completely surrounded by trees.
Chihiro looked up from her window. Monuments stood hidden in the shadows of the tress. She stood up and eyed the front of the road.
"Dad, I think we're lost."
A fairly large rock came across their path suddenly, making the car shake, jump, and rattle.
"AH!" Chihiro screamed as she was slammed back to her seat from the force.
"We're fine," said her father casually keeping his eyes on the road carefully so he wouldn't miss a sharp turn, "I've got 4 wheel drive."
The car gave a lurch, as he turned left. The drive now began to grow uneasy for Chihiro. There was no other option for her. If it fails then the boy's presence would have been in vain. Get ready Chihiro you can do it.
"Sit down please hon-."
Chihiro suddenly started crying, drowning out her mother's last words.
Chihiro felt warm stinging tears roll down her cheeks. She didn't feel like crying, but she was desperate. The boy seemed so real and she wasn't taking her chances.
"Oh honey! You're making her cry! Turn back now! She's scared!"
"We're fine!" he cried over the noise from the breaking branches and tumbling rocks. Chihiro banged her head hard on her side as the car almost lost control. This made her swallow her tears immediately.
"Honey! Honey! Honey! AH! Slow down! You're going to kill us!"
All of a sudden, a red temple looking building popped into view.
"What's that???" Chihiro's father called, quickly stepping on the left pedal as hard as he could.
The car nearly hit an old mossy monument as they slowed to a stop. Inches away from it, the car came to a halt and Chihiro was staring in awe at a temple.
'This wrong turn will be your last. Be careful Chihiro.'
'What?'
'You are now in danger.'
