The way it happened was completely unexpected. Howl was at home with Micheal, calficer was also doing whatever fire demons do, and Sophie was at the market, hoping to get a good deal at the fish market in the morning.
In the new town that they were at, Sophie was known as a great and mystifying beautiful woman. Her big brown eyes, with starlight silver hair, Wearing a beautiful yellow dress and straw brown bag for groceries.
Woman were either too intimidated by her beauty or filled with jealousy to talk to her. And the men knew better to even try and hit on her, since everybody knew she was the wife of the intimidating local wizard - whatever his pen name is in the city.
Sophie didn't mind. She had Micheal, Calficer and most of all Howl. So she was never lonely in any way.
Sophie smiled lightly while walking down the quiet street, and lightly patted her stomach. Soon, they're would be a new member in their odd family.
Tonight, she was planning to tell Howl about it.
She let out a chuckle imagining Howl's surprised look when she tells him.
Not paying attention, she accidently bumps into a strong person. His chest even gave Sophie a slight headache.
"I'm sorry," apologized right away and tried to pick her hat and bag. As soon as she got up, everything else was a rush.
This person grabbed her by side of her arms and pushed in a carriage. Sophie, trying to fight by kicking him, dropped her shoe on the street and her kidnapper quickly punched her across the face and knocked her out.
HOWL! Sophie's last thought before everything else turned black.
