So I know I have no excuse but….yeah.

I start college soon! I am also helping a friend with her prom stuff tomorrow I made her mask and it is epic! All sparkly and shit…

SOO here is the story….

I woke up to screaming and running, something was happening in the bathhouse. I got up and got dressed thinking that it was a guest. It did not take long before I realized that they were searching for someone.

It only took me a few minutes to find Lin; she was running through the hallway to the bedroom.

"Oh, good Sen., I was just coming to get you. We need all the help we can get down there."

"What is going on?"

"Haku, he has deserted Yubaba. He disappeared after giving her his letter of recognition. Wise if you ask me, Yubaba would have killed him. That and he mentioned something about helping you out in the beginning. I wanted to warn you that you should probably avoid Yubaba at all costs for a while."

I nodded, thinking, "No one knows where he could be?"

Lin shook her head, "No, that is why everyone is still looking for him. Yubaba is handing out a pretty big reward for anyone with any information."

Nodding my head slowly, a plan forming in my head, "I am hungry, I am going to hop by the kitchens to grab a bite, meet you later?"

Lin nodded and ran off again. I began running the opposite direction. Towards the garden, that Haku had led me through a while back, it seemed like a good place to start looking for him. I was not very hungry after all.

I ran through the walls of plants, it did not take long to find him.

"Haku!" I hollered at him, trying to get his attention.

"Found him, Yubaba, we found him!"

I turned around; frogs had tailed me all the way from the bathhouse.

'Haku, run, you have to run!

I ran over to Haku and grabbed his shoulder; he turned around and growled at me.

I jumped and looked behind me, panicking, as they got closer. "Haku! It is me, Chihiro! We have to run!"

Haku doubled over grabbing his head in pain. "Chihiro? I remember…"

He seemed to realize what was happening, he grabbed my arm and pulled me onto his back as he transformed into his dragon form.

We flew for a while, I was silent most of the time, I kept having the vague sense that I had done this before.

We landed in a forest, Haku made a fire and I curled up in front of it, freezing cold from our journey.

Haku seemed sick; he sat opposite me and seemed to go from hold to cold quite quickly.

I asked him if he was okay and he growled at me so I left him alone, but kept an eye on him just the same. He passed out a short time later. Once he began thrashing around in his sleep I got up to help him.

I pulled out the food the river spirit gave me yesterday maybe it could help Haku get better.

I tried, unsuccessfully to revive him so I could feed him but he never woke.

Running to the nearby river, I cleaned two rocks and used them to mash half of the fruit up. I found a big leaf nearby, filling it with water and the mashed fruit I carried it to Haku ad tipped the leaves contents down his throat.

Haku thrashed around violently as soon as it went into his system, I held him down as best as I could.

He spit out a black slim ball, I jumped up, thinking it was a bug, and smashed it.

Haku seemed to get better after that, his body temperature went back to normal and he slept peacefully.

` I smiled and fell asleep next to him, happy that he was feeling better.

I woke up soon after to Haku shaking me awake.

"Chihiro, we have to leave, we are not safe here. I know somewhere we can stay safely. Yubaba's sister Zeniba lives close by, she will take us in for the night. She will also take in your friend there," he nodded his head to something in the shadows.

I looked over and stood up, "It is alright now, you can come out. We won't hurt you."

The masked creature stepped out shyly.

"How on earth did you befriend a no-face? They are extremely powerful."

I shrugged, "He seemed nice I guess."
