Chapter One: From Chihiro's Point Of View

From Chihiro's point of view

It's been six years since I left the bathhouse, Granny and Lin,…and Haku. Didn't he say we'd see each other again? So where is he? I've been stuck here with my parents for six years, six damn years. Why hasn't he come?

Ever since I left the bathhouse with my parents, life has gone to hell in a hand basket. My parents were turned back from humans to pigs. However, they still retained some of their hog-ish qualities; such as they continuously eat…all the time. A three-course meal for breakfast, eating a buffet out of food for lunch, and cleaning out the fridge for dinner, with numerous snacks in between.

My mother, who was a slight 145 lbs before has now sky rocketed to 428 lbs, and my father, who was already large to start with, is now nearing 736 lbs. It's terrible.

I, however, have dropped my weight. I was just at 100 lbs. I am now at a scant 95 lbs. My hair is now at mid-back, almost to my waist. I have grown breasts, but with my weight, I'm only at a size C. The reason I'm so thin is because my parents eat all the food in the house and make me do all the work. I'm punished for not completing all my chores by being sent to my room without any food. And when I try to steal food at night, my parents catch me and beat me. I have bruises all down my arms and legs, scratches on my face, and I've even had a concussion.

My existence has been horrible. The only reason I'm still on this Earth is because I'm waiting for Haku. All I want is for him to come and take me away. I know that everything will be better with him.
