I hope that none of you were in Boston or were affected by what happened at the Boston Marathon. My heart goes out to those who were involved.
I stood next to Yubaba's desk trying to open my mouth frantically Yubaba just sat at her desk signing papers.
"Now what should I do with you?" She asked me. "I could turn you into a pig, like your parents. But with all the meat you would give us it still wouldn't pay back your debt. Oh what to do what to do..." She sat there for a minute longer. "Are you hungry?"
I shook my head for no because Lin had fed me before Yubaba had found me.
"So girl, why don't you tell me who helped you out? You couldn't have gotten food and bed that easily you must have had some help from the inside. So who was it now?"
Yubaba did the same hand sign she did earlier except she did it backwards. Once she did it I was able to speak freely I noticed.
"Please can you just give me a job?" I yelled once I knew I could speak.
Yubaba blew up after that and screamed at me. "Don't say that!"
"Please just give me a job!" I yelled again, standing my place.
She looked as if she was going to yell at me again but the double door next to her desk suddenly kicked open with a loud scream. It sounded like a baby was crying, a rather loud one at that. A large pudgy leg kicked out and wailed.
"Fine, fine just quite down! You are disturbing the baby." Yubaba wandered into the room where the large legged baby was located. I could hear her in there calming the crying baby.
But I really didn't care I had succeeded in getting a job.
While Yubaba was in calming her baby the door to her office quietly swung open. Jumping slightly I turned an watched as Haku walked into Yubaba's office.
I glared at him harshly as he walked over to me. I reached my arm up to punch him in the face but he caught my arm before it connected with a slight grimace.
He began to whisper to me, "I am sorry Chihiro, I had to lie to her. She would have killed us both. I can still get us out of her and then we can save your parents."
"How could do that to me? I was so scared Haku! I thought…"
"I don't have much time. Just know that I am there for you. Know that I would do anything for you, Chihiro."
He leaned over and kissed me on my brow bone and then disappeared out the door, right as Yubaba walked back into the room and began to clean up after her baby.
A paper and pen floated over towards me from Yubaba's desk, "That is your contract. Sign your name away and I will put you to work. If I hear one complaint out of you, you will be joining your parents in the pig pen."
"So do I sign hear?" I asked glancing down at the paper.
"Just sign it! Do you want the job or not?"
I signed the paper after kneeling down on the floor for a better writing surface. Just as I had finished she pulled the paper away from me. It floated towards her and she grabbed it out of the air.
"So, your name is Chihiro?"
"Yes, ma'am."
"What a pretty name! And it belongs to me now. From now on your name is Sen. Answer me Sen!"
"Yes ma'am!"
What on earth had I gotten myself into?
So I have literally had this ready for a while now. I guess I forgot that I hadn't posted it. So here ya go! I hope it is good. I also need your opinion on my grammar and spelling cause I don't proof-read I just post what I have. If it is bad I'll try to find someone to proof-read for me. The story right now looks practically the same as the movie but I assure you it is jumping into some major changes. So everyone hold onto your butts.
