Sorry this took so long I had major writer's block.

2. Castle Life

On the outside the castle seemed to be dilapidated and falling apart, but on the inside it was nice and homey. Howl and Sophie's room was on the fourth floor and the others slept on the third floor. Markl, Haku, and Chihiro enjoyed going to the different places using the portals. Chihiro and Haku sometimes will sneak off into the meadow together. Sophie spends most of her time taking care of Yubaba's wounds. Howl and Zeniba spend most of their time working on their magic.

"Everyone please come here," Howl called.

"What is it honey?" Sophie pondered.

"We are getting a new member added to this household."

"Oh, who is it," inquired Chihiro.

"Well Chihiro's village was destroyed in the storm, there is a girl there who can do magic who was separated from her family. We are taking her in."

"What is her name, I may know her."

"Her name is Charmain, and her parents were killed in the storm."

"I know her, she went to my school and was in my class."

The castle then began to move towards Chihiro's old town, which was now for the most part a pile of rubble. The girl was sitting on a bench where there used to be a bus stop, the sign now gone as well as the roof. She had a few bags on the bench beside her and was holding onto a stuffed animal. You could see the shear shock and fear in her eyes. While Howl brought her inside the castle my family went to where our house used to be and found whatever personal belongings we had left and then went back to the castle. Haku and I were now sharing a room so Charmain could have her own room. Our room was the one right across from the balcony next to the stairs. We had bunk beds in the room and each got half of the room. Charmain had the room that used to be Haku's on the second floor across from the bathroom. The room is quite small so the bed can flip up into the wall. It was much more like a cabin on an airship than a bedroom. The castle just before we arrived on it had been redone and now flew with the help of lighter than air gasses and engines. Calcifer had to be on the lowest floor now. We were now flying above the land in the castle quite high up. I thought that when we were flying I saw Laputa but I guess that it must have been my imagination.

"Hey Haku, come here I said from my book."

"What, Chihiro."

"I just wanted to say that I really like you," I told him giving him a kiss.

"Chihiro, I really like you too."

Just as we said this Charmain came in but we didn't notice her.
