Chapter 2: Back Once Again
'Why am I so nervous?' Chihiro asked herself. 'I'm leaving tomorrow and I'm already having doubts.' She quickly changed her mind set. 'I've already committed to it. I have to see Haku. I guess I should start packing.'
Chihro opened her closet door and got one large backpack, seven shirts, three pairs of shorts, two pairs of pants, four bras, and seven pairs of underwear. She quickly stuffed them into her bag and walked into the bathroom. All she grabbed was her toothbrush, toothpaste, and a razor. She also stuffed that in her bag, along with four water bottles and a bag of trail mix. Then, she climbed into bed and drifted off to sleep.
Chihiro woke up early that morning, around eight, and changed into her clothes for the day. Then she walked to the kitchen and poured a bowl of cereal. She ended up being too nervous to eat, so she dumped her food into her dog's bowl and went upstairs. Chihiro grabbed her bag and then stepped in front of her mirror.
'I can do this.' she said to herself. She walked back downstairs and saw her mom coming out of her room, still in her pajamas.
"By Mom." said Chihiro with a smile.
Her mom embraced her with a hug. "Goodbye sweetie. I love you. Remember to call if you need anything."
"I will."
Chihiro walked out of her blue house and started down the street. She walked until she reached the big oak tree, and then she turned into the woods. The path that she had made for herself years ago was barely there, but it was there none-the-less. She walked the wooded path for about five minutes and then she reached a small creek and followed it until she reached a fork in the road. One path veered to the left, and over the creek, while the other veered right and kept straight into the woods. Chihiro went left and hopped over the small creek. Suddenly, she heard a soft tussle in the leaves.
"Who's there." she asked. Unexpectedly, her dog Zoey popped out of the bushes. "Zoey! What are you doing here?" The Pomeranian jumped up and licked Chihiro's face. "Well I guess you can come. But you have to stay close. Got it?" The pup wagged its tail as a response.
The girl started back up the path and she finally reached the dirt road. She stared at the shrine, half expecting it to talk or move. But it obviously did not, so Chihiro walked into the tunnel with Zoey at her heals.
The darkness engulfed her, just as it did eight years ago. She could now see the end of the tunnel and started to jog toward the end. After a few seconds of running, she reached the abandoned train station. She kept running until she reached the field. She hesitated at the marvelous sight. A moment later she stared to sprint and skip in the field. The feeling of exhilaration washed over Chihiro. She danced and pranced, and after about five minutes, she reached Yubaba's bathhouse. She stood at the bridge in silence, not knowing what to do next. A sudden felling of fear and grief washed over her. Doubt started to cloud up her mind. Chihiro started to turn around.
"Sen?"
