Chapter 2: So Similar
Melissa slowly walked backwards as her eyes widened at the sight before her. Her classmates didn't look like classmates anymore. Her teachers didn't look like teachers either. Their backs weren't the normal skin color they had been. They all look so much fatter then they had been before. Melissa couldn't say or do anything. All she did was stand there and look at the new forms of the people she knew.
Dean ran up to the back of one pig. He was shaking it, or trying to considering that the pig was large and heavy. He was calling the pig Jason because he recognized the clothes that were on the pig and they were the exact same ones that Jason had worn that day. Dean backed up as the pig squealed and landed on the ground, being hit by an unknown figure. Dean ran over to Melissa and grabbed her hand, pulling her to the place where the exit was supposed to be. "We have to get out of here," he said to her as they started to run. Melissa said nothing, shocked at the sight she had just seen. She wanted to know what happened to her class and teachers. However, she make a single word come out of her mouth. The shock still hadn't worn out yet.
When they arrived, they landed in a large pool of water. The water spalshed on Melissa and she was finally brought back to her senses. "Water?" Dean shouted and tried to run out of the pool as fast as he could, pulling Melissa with him. He clearly hadn't noticed that somethin was bothering her. Instead, he was filled with the goal of getting the two of them out of there.
Melissa ran along with him and it helped that he dragged her or she would have already stopped. Suddenly, Dean let go and Melissa fell to the ground, shouting his name. Dean turned around at the sound of his name and looked shocked. He hadn't let go of her. Nevertheless, he ran over to her and tried to pick her up. However, his hands kept going right through her. Melissa got up and went right through Dean, who had been crouching down on top of her. She hadn't felt his useless efforts when he tried to pick her up. What surprised Melissa the most was that she wasn't tired. She turned to Dean and saw as he tried to put his hand on her face. However, he went right through her to the other side of her face. If it was possible, Dean eyes widened even more. "Melissa? What's going on?" he asked her.
Melissa lifted a hand and tried to touch his face. "I don't know," she said in reply as her hand went right through to the other side of his face.
"Here eat these," a voice said from behind Melissa. Melissa turned to see nobody there. She looked around and saw a plate with two red pills on it. She turned to Dean who shrugged. "I guess we could eat them," he said.
"But what if its a trick?" she asked.
"But what if it will stop us from disappearing?"
"I guess..."
"It's worth a try."
"Yea..."
"Here," Dean said and picked up a pill from the plate. "I'll go first." He stuck the pill in his mouth and swallowed it. He touched his hand and his other hand didn't go through. "It worked!" Dean bent down and took the next one. He handed it to Melissa. However, Melissa's hand went right through it. Her body was disappearing fast. "Open your mouth," he said and placed the pill into her mouth. Melissa swallowed. Dean held up his hand to let Melissa make sure that she was whole again. She touched Dean's hand. This time, her hand didn't go through his.
"We need to move quickly," the same voice said.
Both Melissa and Dean felt an odd force pull them and they submitted to the pull. They ran along through meat and fish houses, through an ice box, and to a fence that seperated them from the bridge they had been to before.
"Now I want you to hold your breath when we walk across the bridge."
By this time, Melissa and Dean couldn't help, but trust this voice that was telling them what to do. They turned to look at each other and then looked out at the bridge where strange creatures were walking across it. Dean opened the gate and held it for Melissa. He took her hand and started to walk towards the bridge. "Okay...ready..." Melissa could hear Dean muttered.
"Take a deep breath..." the voice said.
They took one.
"Hold it and don't let go until we cross the bridge."
They started to walk across the bridge, holding their breath. Dean suddenly had a thought strike him as they were crossing. He was reminded about that movie...what was it called again? He wanted to tell Melissa, but she was too occupied in holding her breath and he couldn't say anything unless he would take a breath. They were getting closer to the end. Could they last any longer? They were almost there. They were getting closer. Dean could see the end of the bridge. He would finally be able to breath as soon as they finished crossing the bridge. Dean could feel the strength of Melissa's grip lessen. She was getting tired. He wanted to tell her that they were almost there. He wanted to let her know that she wouldn't have to hold her breath anymore in just a couple of seconds. Her grip loosened more around his hand and he knew she had to take a breath, but they were told not to. Would she breathe? Could she hold it for just a bit more? They were almost there. Just a few more steps and they would be across.
"Master Haku! There are humans in the bathhouse!"
A cliffy! Yay! Okay, I am leaving it there for now and letting you think about about what probably just happened. This story seems to be going the same exact path as the movie did, but don't worry! I'll be sure to stray from what story of the original movie considering this takes place after the movie took place. As you can see, I stuck in a familiar character...what other one's will I stick in? Please Reveiw.
P.S. I just realized that this chapter was much shorter than the last one...I'll try and make the next one longer, but no promises.
