continue.
Authors beginning note: Ok, I know that the beginning is sort of slow and it will continue to be at a steady pace, please have patience though, you sat through the movie for about 2 hours, I ask that you'll show me at least the same patience. (I know my story isn't the movie and it doesn't come close to comparison, but please bear with me) So I guess enough of my endless chatter and lets continue!
Chapter 3
Kamikakushi
Looking up I saw white clouds and a blue sky. I sighed. I sat up even though I was tired, sore and my scratches that I got from the low hanging tree branches in the real world stung. Looking around I saw that the place had not changed one bit, even though six years have passed. The tall green grass was everywhere and the wind blew through it making a 'swish' sound or the single blades rubbing against each other. There were the very same big gray boulders too. Then there were the worn, abandoned looking houses that were scattered here and there in the field of grass.
"This looks like and abandoned theme park. There were a lot of them until the economy went broke."
Trying to get up on my feet was harder than it should be. Falling down on my third attempt I just lay there for a moment thinking of another time I couldn't get up, only then it was for a reason more than just being tired.
"I can't move!" I had said in a panic "Shh, don't worry stay calm." Haku had said, and then he put his hands over my earthen bound legs. "With the wind and water within me, unbind thee."
And I was instantly able to move after that. If only it could be like that right now. I tried again and this time I stayed up.barely. My muscles screaming from all that running up hill, I looked towards the sun. It was almost dark. Only an hour's left of light, I have to make it though! I have to talk to Kamajii and Rin! I have to find out what is so wrong that Zeniiba would send Koanashi all the way to the real world to get me. Why would I be able to help and not them? I shook my head. This will get me nowhere fast. So pushing my thoughts to the back of my head I began the chore of walking. I came to the riverbed. It has to be crossed; there is no other way. I took a few steps on the flattest and sturdiest looking rocks there is, only to fall down. Feeling my eyes begin to burn I blinked the on- coming tears away. I got up slowly, only to fall over three more times before reaching the other side. Twice from lack of energy and once from tripping. I kept my eyes close to the ground to concentrate on not tripping.
"It's the train." I said silently to myself as I felt it rumbling close by. I looked up and I could see that I was almost in the Spirit Town. I looked at the sun, only a half hour left. I walked past all of the shops filled with food for tonight's customers here in spirit world. I shook my head. I just want to sleep! I'm so tired and my muscles are so sore. I want to lie down somewhere and just rest for a little bit. "Chihiro!" My head snapped up. I was in between dreaming and being awake, and I'm still standing! I'd almost fallen asleep standing! I started laughing at the thought of falling asleep, but when my stomach began to hurt too much my laughter began to turn to sobs. Brushing away the tears that had started falling I kept walking, Shuddering uncontrollably as I passed the same stall my parents had been turn to pigs six years ago. Almost passing all of the food stalls I stopped for a moment.
"Here, eat this." I threw my arm up at him and it only went through. He didn't even flinch. I gasped.
"You have to eat some food from here else you will disappear." I still tried to back away from the food he was offering.
"Don't worry, it wont turn you into a pig like it did your parents." Haku said forcing it into my mouth. Once it was in my mouth, I began chewing reluctantly. "There. All better. See for yourself." He said putting his hand up a foot away from my face. I put my hand up and pressed my fingertips against his palm. They hadn't gone through.
I looked at the stall closest to me and saw what looked like a cookie. Snatching it up I put it into my jacket pocket and continued walking, all the while trying to control my tears. I walked up the steps and passed the small tower and looked out on the bridge. Only five minutes left before it's fully dark. I looked at my left and saw the gate Haku had walked me through to cross the bridge.
"You have to hold you breath while walking across the bridge.even the tiniest breath will break the spell and then everyone will see you." Haku had said it only loud enough for me to hear.
"I'm scared." I had said clinging to him.
"Now just stay calm.Take a deep breath.hold it." Haku then said as we began walking on the bridge.
Should I hold my breath now? I guess it wouldn't hurt to try. So holding my breath I began walking on the bridge, but not able to do it, I let in such a huge breath I almost choked on the incoming air. Things began to get bleary, and I clung on to the railing.
"You shouldn't be here! Get out of here now! Leave before it gets dark! You have to cross the river. Hurry! I'll distract them.Now go!" had yelled a boy with shoulder length dark-green hair, blue green pants, a sash, a white shirt of sorts and the most lively green eyes there ever was, only they were filled with hate and cruelty. This was the boy I was soon to know as Haku.
"Ahh!" I screamed. My head hurts so much and the memories, they ring so loudly the make my head feel like they're going to burst!
"Haku! I can't turn back! Even if I could make it in time to the river, I can't I have to help!" I screamed so loudly it felt like my throat was going to tear. Tears began flowing silently down my cheeks. I looked up through bleary eyes. Shadows were beginning to form, and I was only half way there. I looked at the sun. It was setting, so the sky glowed orange through some of the clouds that had begun to cover it. Looking down at my hands, tears began flowing. I was becoming invisible.
"You have to eat some food from this world or else you will disappear."
Clutching my ears I tried to make the voice.the memories quieter, but they seemed to get louder. Tears are streaming down my face. I took one hand off of my ear and dug into my pocket for the cookie.and it was gone.
"NO! I don't have time to go back! I have to get some food before I disappear! But where will I get any on time!" I screamed trying to fight down the unbearable panic that was threatening to consume me. My head is throbbing! I have to hurry and find food.or else I will disappear forever..
Authors Ending Note: So what do you think? I built that cliffhanger just for you peoples, that and I figured it could use some more excitement at the moment. So will Chihiro find food on time or will she cease to exist, and if she does find food on time where the heck is she going to get it and with out the spirits noticing, because remember what happens if you steel food from the spirits in the spirit world and Yubaaba finds out. you get turned into a pig. What if Yubaaba isn't even the head honcho in the bathhouse any more? What if there is an even more evil and sinister being now ruling the bathhouse inconspicuously? Well I guess if you peoples really want to know..you'll just have to read my next chapter when I post it either next week or the week after. Well Toodles for now!
