Am I dreaming?-Chapter 10

A/N: Well I don't really have anything to say about this chapter, I hope everyone enjoys it, INCLUDED: Lawliet's P.O.V haha: D Well it's really just a sneak preview of his thoughts. I'm sick with a really bad flu, I keep on sneezing, I keep on coughing, I've taken like 2 pills today and I'm still ill but I'll get better soon. Anyway enough about me, I'll get on with the chapter!! .

Lawliet's P.O.V

From my balcony I watch the sun set. It's so peaceful. I felt my head lull to the side and my eyes close.

Suddenly it all felt unreal. Was it just yesterday that I'd sealed Sophie's memories?

Certainly felt longer than that, like a century more like.

My lips puckered into a pout and I noticed my legs crouching into a bond with my chest. That again.

My hand wandered into the air and immediately the air was cool and but a flicker on my pale face.

My face turned grim and my earlier thoughts of Sophie twisted into blame.

That's right, I hated her, hated her guts, she should just die. Her and her fancy pants too good for his shoes husband Howl.

That's exactly right. It's only me in this world. No one else.

A/N: Umm, sorry I really think I did that bit bad.. . well anyway here's Sophie's P.O.V *sneeze* haha :D

Sophie's P.O.V

Younger Howl was a composed little body with the exact face of older Howl, the only difference between the two of them was that younger Howl more mature. (And less vain if I might add).

"Excuse me, but where are we going?" I heard my self asking with a worried voice. I was beginning to question my sanity, this was mad! I'm supposed to believe that there's two Howl's, almost like a split personality. And that I was married, corrected= Am still married, to Howl and not to mention have a child! What is this world turning into?!

"Well we're going to you're old house and then to the old castle to see if you'll remember anything and if you don't I'll just fill you in with information."

"OK..."

Younger Howl hesitated, I could see it. His lips pursed into a scowl and then formed the letter S.

"Do you have something you wish to tell me?" I asked persistently.

He turned, his eyes melted into mine and after a second he finally said:

"Yes,"

I wanted to force it out of his mouth. This silence was killing me.

"So do you know why you lost you're memories?" The words came out of his mouth in a mumbled tone almost like he was shy about asking.

"No,"

"No idea?"

"No,"

"Oh,"

There was silence until we; at long last, we reached a house. It wasn't too big and wasn't too small however there was one thing that caught my attention.

It looked familiar.

Really.

Familiar.

Like a distant memory.

Maybe it was true.

I'd lost my memories, but if I did, I didn't like the thought of it. Feeling like a part of you is missing; it's almost like feeling lonely.

"Um, well you can come in Sophie," Younger Howl motioned for me to enter the house just before he harshly pushed the door to a halt.

I stared around at my surroundings. I felt so accustomed to it. That lamp, it was like a childhood memory. A picture flashed before me but I was too slow. I missed it.

I wanted to remember. I needed to remember.

Why doesn't anything go right when you want it to?!

Oh, I know! "When something doesn't go right...go left."

I'd always loved that saying, but as spiteful as it may seem how is it going to help?

"Nothing," I whispered hoarsely.

"Sorry?"

"I don't remember anything at all," I stated. My voice was beginning to crack and I knew any moment now I'd fall into ballistic tears.

"That's not a problem,"

"What did you say?"

"Hmm?" Younger Howl turned to face me with a questioning look, almost as if it wasn't him that had tried to comfort me or said a word whatsoever.

"You said "That's not a problem," just now, didn't you?"

A look of confusion crossed his face.

"No..."

"What? Are you sure you didn't forget or something? Please tell me you did!"

"No, I didn't say a word."

"You're joking! You said that, It was in my head, you're voice was in my head!" I screeched.

If it wasn't him...Then who was it?

"It was me."

I turned around.

Again.

It was in my head. A gentle whisper yet such a bold voice.

"And who are you?" I asked aloud.

Younger Howl, obviously sensing that I was going mad, whispered a few words.

A bubble appeared with older Howl inside. His face was full of worry.

"I am L,"

"And who is L?"

"You don't need to know my dear Sophie,"

"Oh but I do,"

I saw younger Howl flash me a look of resent before he turned to face the bubble in which older Howl had occupied himself with talking to Calcifer.

"Howl," Younger Howl announced.

"Yes, testing testing, 1, 2, 5" Came the reply.

Younger Howl sighed.

"Sophie's gone nuts!"

"Excuse me?" Older Howl's eyes widened.

"She's talking to herself. She's conversing with someone called "L". Ring any bells?"

"Yes! Bring Sophie to me!" Older Howl ordered.

Just what was happening? Who was this L? And why did it feel like I knew him before...

A/N: Ermm, comment what you think: D well really Lawliet just got into Sophie's brain with his magic. He's evil, that's all you need to know so far. And mysterious. Umm, should I add Lawliet to the poll? Would anyone vote for him? I know I would, I like all evil characters, just a bad habit of mine. Oh and vote on the poll please: D

Howl's P.O.V

I could see Sophie. Weird, she seemed fine. She wasn't talking to herself. Certainly wasn't talking to herself.

"Sophie dear, what's wrong?" I asked.

I saw her lips convert into a frown. "Please do not call me "dear" Howl!"

"Oh fine, what the heck is wrong with you Sophie?! I hear you're talking to yourself? And to a man named L?"

Her eyebrows moved to both sides and deepened into a scowl.

"I don't know! He's suddenly in my head! Talking to me! Making me believe things, saying that I shouldn't know who he is! But the thing is I remember him. From somewhere. I don't know so don't ask me!"

I turned to Calcifer. "You hear that? He's already controlling her! What's he going to do next? Kill her?"

"Whoa whoa whoa, information overload," Calcifer jumped. "Take it easy Howl. I know we've got to sort this out. Shouting at poor Calcifer the fire demon won't help though."

I sighed.

"First things first, let's combine both you and younger Howl together so you're in Ingary with Sophie. Then we'll really figure out what he's trying to make her do. Yes?"

"Right..." I convinced myself. "I'll take Michael too then."

"Yes," Calcifer agreed.

"Howl," I shouted. "We're combining into each other, let's do the spell then shall we?"

"On it!"

The spell we were doing was one of the easiest so far that I'd learnt. It was so easy that I'd taken to learning it of by heart.

And with a few quick adjustments to my outfit I chanted:

"Let me be one with you,"

And that was it.

A light as golden as the sun burst into the castle and from the bubble I could see the same happening in Ingary.

"Michael!" I screeched. "Grab onto me!"

"Yes---How—l"

The castle shook a wind that could've been mistaken for a blizzard.

"Don't mind me," Calcifer chimed in with a nonchalant voice.

"Well we won't," I struggled to breath.

"Down the rabbit hole,"

"What? Oh and before I forget, take care of Morgan!"

"It's like you're-" But Calcifer was cut of as the spell finally took action and Michael tightened his grip on my shirt.

"Careful there," I glared.

"Oh, err sorry Howl,"

Then it happened. I was in younger Howl's body.

A small thing he was.

I was even shorter than Sophie now. I scowled.

"Nice entrance," Sophie greeted us.

"Michael?" I ignored her.

"Here Howl."

I turned to where I heard his voice. He was standing in the corner of the room. He scrambled up to me and shivered.

I patted his head and smiled. He shook my hand off.

"Now, back to you Sophie. I'm going to ask L some questions to see if he'll answer. Do you mind?"

Sophie stared at me, probably thinking that it wouldn't help.

"Go on then,"

I thought of a question. I had to hit L in a spot that would hurt.

"Ask him, if he can speak so all of us can hear him."

Sophie waited. "No,"

"Ask him what he's planning on doing to you."

Again. " He's not telling anyone."

"Hmph," I grunted. "Planning on being the attention seeker are you?"

"No,"

"Them, and I never thought I'd say this before, get out of Sophie's head before I tell the king of you're misdeeds."

Sophie gasped.

"What is it?"

"He says the king ordered him to do this."

I took a deep breath and gulped. That couldn't be true. I was the king's best wizard.

"He says that he will meet us soon."

"Oh?"

"Yes." Sophie grinned. "He's gone now. Out of my head."

I smiled. "That's good."

"So where is our next destination?" Michael broke in.
