Lost and Forgotten Chapter 5
It was six in the morning. The sunshine streamed down to Chihiro's bed. She got down for breakfast, which she does not normally do.
" it's a miracle that you are eating breakfast today, Chihiro." Said her mom in the kitchen.
Chihiro continued eating as if her mom was never there. Rona's voice echoed in her mind. "Find the White mouse... He will help you in your journey..." "Yeah right... Since when can a mouse save a person who is 35 times bigger than him." Chihiro said to herself. Chihiro was used to Rona and her stories and believed everything she says but a mouse is just so crazy to believe.
It was a Saturday so she decided to skate around the town and in the woods. The woods was a beautiful place like a big garden except with gigantic trees. The very reason that she goes there is because to visit the waterfall.
Chihiro skated to the town. As usual the streets are filled with children's below 11 years old. The laughter of the children always reminds her of of when she was younger but no matter what she can't remember the day when they moved in the province. Putting that aside she continued skating. In just minutes she got to the woods. The trees are huge as always and their leaves blocked some sun light making it look like a roof with tiny holes.
In a distance she would hear the splashing sounds of the water falling. And their on one high spot she could see a perfect view of the waterfall. This is a beautiful place which can never be found in the city she grew up but she guessed that there are some things that the province does not have like shopping malls and big buildings. Her friends in her old home kept some updates and is full of topicsabout concerts from singers and bands all over the globe and the newest technologies but noneof this bothered her.
Upon arriving at the bottom of the falls she bent down to see the clean water. On the clear water she could see her reflection.
"Yeah... I truly have gotten older..." She said. Chihiro heard a rustle from behind but ignored it for she thought that it was some squirrel.
"What are you doing here?" A voice came. Chihiro was surprised and loose balance and fell on the clear water making a big splash.
When she went to see the person it was Idoh .
"Are you alright?" Idoh asked to the soaking girl.
"Do you think?"
"Give me your hand..." Idoh reached out for Chihiro. The sun making idohs face blur in Chihiro's vision. She reached to him to hold his hand, water dripping from her arm. Idoh pulled her to land. Idoh got a towel from his bag and wrapped it around Chihiro.
"What are you doing here anyway?" She asked.
"Fishing..." Idoh then replied.
"You gave me a fright... You call that fishing?"
"Look, it's not my fault you get easily surprised..." Idohs eyes rested on Chihiro.
"Fine..." Chihiro walked away but realize there was something missing...
"My necklace !" Chihiro said in alarmed, she turned back to Idoh who is already in the water.
"You have to find my necklace..."
"You have to help me find my necklace..."
"It must have already gone down the river."
"Just help me..." Chihiro jumped in the cold water in search for the necklace.
After an hour of searching the sun became to burn and became very hot. Still Chihiro continued to find the necklace. Soon a hour turned to two and three but still the same results.
"Stop it already..." Idoh said resting in the shade. Chihiro turned to him.
" I can't...that's... From my grandmother... It's the only thing that she gave me after she died. Her face suddenly filled with tears. She whipped it away in a hurry. Then there was a flying towel that landed on her head.
"Get out of there. You're going to catch a cold." Then Idoh did something that Chihiro would have never thought he will do. Idoh jumped in the water...
