The Wizard and the Half-Demon
Me: Ok, so I love Howl's Moving Castle. It's one of the first animes that I have seen. So I'm watching Inuyasha, and I suddenly have an idea pop into my head. What if Sophie was a half-demon? Half-demon Sophie looks like Zakuro from Tokyo Mew Mew. And her personality is more, um, complicated than the original. So this is my version of Howl's Moving Castle with half-wolf demon Sophie. I hope you enjoy it, and if you are waiting for one of my other stories, don't worry I'll update soon.
Ch.1
Hi, my name's Sophie. I'm a half-demon. My mom is a human and my dad was a wolf demon, hence me being part wolf.
I have wolf ears, a wolf tail, fangs, and claws. So you can pretty much guess how my life has been, around other humans. I don't like going out much.
And, humans don't like how I dress. Unlike regular human females, instead of a dress, I wear a short purple crop top, purple flared shorts, and matching boots that go past my knees.
It is way easier to move around in than a long dress.
I work at my mom's hat shop. I make hats, though I sometimes ruin them with my claws. I have anger issues, so if I work too long on a hat, I get aggravated and rip it up.
There are other girls here, but I don't really hang out with them. We get along, like say hi and ask how each other is, but other than that, nothing.
Right now they're getting ready to go out. I'm working on another hat. An older woman who worked here knocked on the door.
"Sophie, the shop is closed, you've done enough work. Why don't you come out with us this time?" she asked. I always forgot her name(AN: I just don't know the woman's name, so if you know please tell me, and are the other girls there related to Sophie? I never found that out)
"No, I better finish this, you go and have fun" I told her. Like I said, I don't like to go out, so I avoid it if I can. Unfortunately, once I finish this hat, I promised my little sister I would visit her at work.
"Alright, suit yourself" the woman said, "Let's go, girls."
They all started to leave, when one girl called out to the others.
"Look, it's Howl's castle!" she cried. All the girls oohed, ran to the window, and started talking to each other. I looked out my window. I saw a silhouette of his castle in the fog it always moves around in.
Howl is a wizard. He has a reputation as one of the greatest wizards around. Sure, wizards are ok, but if you're a demon, or part of it, you're an outcast.
Anyway, he also has a reputation as one of the biggest heartbreaks out there. Literally.
They all say that he literally steals women's hearts.
But, being a half-demon, I know that rumors are all fakes. Well, some rumors are true, but still. I don't physically know him, so I can't say things about him.
The girls are still talking about him. One girl was scared to go out now.
"Don't worry, he only preys on pretty girls." another girl said, teasing her. Now you know why I don't hang out with them. They're childish and immature.
"Alright girls, come on" the older woman said. They all left giggling.
I looked for another piece to put on the hat. I found a pretty purple flower that would put it together very nicely. I started to sew it on the hat.
A train went by as I finish the hat. I put it on a head mannequin. I grabbed a red hat, getting ready to make another one, but I got bored before I even started.
I sighed and put the red hat down. I walked out of my room. I grabbed a cloak and a hat, to hid my obvious wolf features, and walked out the door.
End of chapter
Me: First chapter down! YAY! So I hope you enjoyed it. Please review and answer my questions if possible. Wait a minute, where's Howl? He was here before I started the chapter. *grabs a rope, hand-held telescope, and frying pan* Time to go wizard hunting! BYE-BYE!
