"That's enough! I've had enough of you Howl!" Sophie yelled as she ran out the door.

"Fine! Go! I don't need you!" Howl yelled at her and slammed the door shut.

"Master Ho-" Markl started by was cut off by Howl rushing into his bedroom and slamming the door shut.

"Callaster?" Markl turned to the small fire demon in the hearth, "do you think Sophie's coming back?"

"I don't know. They've been arguing a lot lately. I hope she comes back."

"I doubt it," The witch of the waste added, "By the way they were yelling I think Sophie has had enough."

"I wonder what's going to happen to Howl," the boy muttered to himself.

A year past by and even the Witch of the Waste left; things piled up, dust collected in Sophie's old bedroom, and Howl was rarely seen in outside of his room. Things became gloom and occasional spirit of darkness would torment poor little Markl.
