Lost and Forgotten CHAPTER 7
South Pole 2:30 am
An igloo rests in the middle of nowhere. In that small igloo lived Cromos, the warlock, and the legendary so called boogeyman, Pitch Black.
"Hey Pitch you promised me revenge of the river spirit! I am tired of waiting!"
"Patience my friend. Don't forget without my help you're melted as an ice cream in the scorching sun." Pitch grinned. Cromos turned to face him revealing a scar. "I remembered when you faced the river spirit again when he is In search of his lover or whatever that Chihiro girl is to him. You only managed to make him loose his memories while he almost killed you, again. That scar on your left cheek is enough proof." Pitch chuckled.
"I recommend you shut up!" Cromos thundered and grabbed a wooden chair, throwing it on the ground. Pieces of wood scattered on the floor.
"Have not you heard? Chihiro is searching for the spirit and it is all because of Rona."
"What do you plan to do?"
"Easy... Help me capture the guardians and the world will be in great darkness and I will have more power and with my help you will surely destroy the river spirit..." Pitch grinned again.
The warlock grinned in return "You have my word."
8:00 pm European tooth palace Joe's office.
Joe handed Chihiro the box of teeth. She carefully reached for it and a spark shone. Then everything went Chihiro got to her senses joe helped her up. Then there was pain forming on her forehead she reached for it hoping it that the pain will stop.
"How do you feel?" Asked Joe
"Like a thousand memories invaded my head..."
"Good she remembers." Said Don
"Everything... Remembered it all... The bath house, Yu-baaba, Zeniiba and Haku... But how could I forgot all of those things?"
Joe sighed "Child sometimes we tend to forget thins, thins that are very unbelievable or thins that we're scared of, must be why-"
"Haku! I saw him! He is my classmate! He's out there! We have to find him!" Chihiro reached for the door but Joe grabbed her.
"Whoa... Slow down there mate."
"Chihiro we don't know if he is Haku yet. And we can't barge in his house in the middle of the night." Don squeaked. Then there was silence...
Joe suddenly banged the table. "Wait ay minute... You said that he is your classmate then how come he did ain't introduce himself as the Glohaku river spirit?"
"Something must be wrong here..." Said Don scratching his chin.
"Must be he has forgotten..." Said Chihiro.
"Don take her home. We have a lot to do tomorrow Chihiro. Oh and I forgot..." Joe reached something on his table. "A letter from Rona..." He handed it to Chihiro. "She is asking you to go to the bath house after school to meet Grace."
"Why me?" Chihiro asked reading the note.
"Do you love Haku?" Asked Don.
"Of course-as a friend."
"Then do it." Both Joe and Don said in unison.
7:39 am school ground
"Why are you here again?"asked Chihiro peeking inside her classroom. Don took a sit on Chihiro's shoulder "Hey don't sit there," she grabbed the little mouse as it tries to escape from her hand. Then she gently put it in one of the side pockets of her bag. "stay here."
"I can smell him. He is near by..." Don sniffed the air again. Chihiro walked to her seat and saw Idoh two seats away to the left."Chihiro it's Haku!" Don squeaked.
"Quiet down." Chihiro whispered.
"Did you say something?" Asked Idoh.
Sweat started to form on Chihiro's back at the sound of her lost friends voice.(What if he really is Haku? Does he still remember me?) she asked herself."Uhm... I just..." That's when she ran out of ideas of what to say. Then it finally hit her... "I just want to thank you the other day for getting my necklace back it means a lot to me."
There was no reply then she realized that Idoh is now staring at her bag.
"Cute stuffed mouse." He said.
Chihiro smiled "Yeah it is cute."
"There's a leaf on your hair." Idoh reached for the leaf on Chihiro's hair which made her face red. A bright sensation started to form on her wrist. (Not again!) she quickly rummaged in her skirt pocket and got a hankie. She used it to cover the glowing cross on her wrist.
"Is there something wrong?" Asked Idoh.
"No... Nothing." Chihiro put on a fake smile on her face.
