Lost and Forgotten CHAPTER 3
"So Chi chi what's that tattoo you've got there?" Mimi asked to Chihiro pointing to the black cross on her wrist.
"Nothing... Just-you know..."
"Hey you're not telling me something are yah?"
"You got me... I have the craziest dream last night that I was sent on a journey by a angel named Rona to save this Glohaku river spirit guy and Rona drew this cross on my wrist."
Ever since Chihiro met Mimi they always went by the river after school. Today they bought hotdogs on the way.
"And you expect me to believe that your dream came true?" Asked Mimi taking a big bite of her cheese dog.
"Not exactly..."
"Okay, change topic... Don't you think the new student in our class is kinda cute?"
"What? Cute? "
"Yah..."
" Kay maybe..."
Mimi reached for her friend and hugged Chihiro tightly making her cry in loving pain. "That's why I lav yah ma friend!" But speaking of the new student Chihiro is still bothered by how much Idoh and the boy in her dreams looked so much alike. The sky became dark as the two girls chat. It started to rain. Chihiro quickly got her leather bag.
"Bye Mimi. See you tomorrow."
" Kay Kay!"
Chihiro ran to the other direction. Every foot step she made creates a small splash. The street lights started to lighten up. She is only halfway to her house but the rain is like cats and dogs. She stopped running and found a shelter. The raindrops streamed down the roof. Then there were splashing sounds. Hopefully she's not the only one having trouble with the rain. Little did she know that it's the new student Idoh. Idoh was dripping wet like Chihiro when he showed up.
She just kept quiet there. Chihiro hugged her leather bag and looked around the place to make her look like she hadn't noticed her classmate beside her in the same shelter. Then he picked up something.
"Is this yours?" Idoh asked facing Chihiro, in his hand a carrot keychain.
"Thank you." Chihiro grabbed the key chain from him. Chihiro got back to examining the structure. But she sure is really curious about her classmate that she took a peek. But Idoh got the same idea and they both looked at each other. Chihiro looked away turning pink.
"Uhm hey, are you from class 3-A?" She started.
"Yes, your Chihiro right?"
"How did you know that?
"I don't really know. Just a lucky guest I think."
Her wrist started to glow again. Chihiro tucked her hand in her bag. She just waited there finding a chance to get out of there until the rain started to get calmer and Chihiro got ready for a fast run to her house. "Well very nice to meet you Idoh. Have to go now. Bye." She raced to her house. The time she was in her warm home she was greeted by a mysterious animal. The thing was hairy and has a black nose. It does not have paws like a cat or a dog.
"Mom! What's this!"
"Just a stray animal that I found outside the rain. Kinda cute right?"
"Yeah...define cute."
She looked at the animal but nothing happened it just sat there like a statue. She started waving her keychain in front of it expecting to play. Still nothing. Finally she gave up on the hairy beast and got up to her room and changed. The cross started glowing again for the third time, and as if by force she was pulled to face her mirror. The first thing she saw was her own reflection and then she saw a different image. It was Rona.
"Did you find him."
"Uwah! You're real!"
"Yes I am and please calm yourself."
"How could I?"
"Listen to me we don't have much time. It's coming."
"Who's coming?"
"Grace."
"Rona you're not giving the exact info here... Who is grace? Why is the bath house abandoned? And what happened to the river spirit?"
Rona bit her lip and nodded her head. "Kay, I'll tell you everything."
