Chapter 2

"No! I should be here!" She said to herself. She turned around, but the exit had disappeared. There was nothing the building – but with no door, no hole, no exit.

Suddenly she heard a howling in the distance. It was Kohaku. She squinted, and could see him falling from the sky in the distance. She ran towards him. He was lying on the grass. Kohaku was completely still. He was severely injured. Chihiro knelt down beside him. She shouted for help. It was no use.

Suddenly one of the spiked creatures from before popped up. Many others appeared as well. They made strange buzzing noises. They headed for her, so she quickly got up, running to avoid them.

"NO! KOHAKU!" She shouted. A few of the other creatures were lifting him up, trying to take him away. Forgetting about the ones chasing her, she ran and grabbed hold on Kohaku's tail.

"LET GO OF HIM!" She cried. "LEAVE HIM ALONE!"

She lay on the ground, sobbing. There was no way home. Kohaku could have helped, but he had been kidnapped. Chihiro didn't know what to do.

A few minuets later, she returned to where the exit was meant to be. She punched the wall, still crying.

"Linn!" she remembered. Linn had helped and looked after her when she had worked in the bathhouse. She was Chihiro's only hope.
