Lawliet's P.O.V
I'm dreaming. And in my dream I am Alice. What a bizarre thought. I shudder and squeeze my hands together to create warmth but fail. If I was Alice then everything would've been different. I wouldn't have gotten myself into this mess and definitely wouldn't have gone this deep.
I would've been righteous and exuberant, just like my own Alice. Except no one ever wins, even in Alice in wonderland. She didn't succeed. All she ever does is meet new people. What did that ever do? I sighed and rubbed my eyes, this time I could see clearly and when I looked around the room all I could remember was her-Sophie.
A/N: Aww, poor Lawliet, having a bit of a lonely moment? Lol ^_^ Thanks for reading this far. xD
Sophie's P.O.V
My eyes started to water. I hurriedly rubbed them off and sniffled forcing myself to continue walking and pretend that I hadn't just done the most abnormal thing in the universe.
I'd had an inner conversation with a man called "L" not to mention that he was INSIDE my head. Not next to me, not behind me. Inside my head.
I tried to gulp in my tears but I only succeeded in groaning. It was then that Howl heard.
"Sophie?" He edged towards me and I took a step away from him which changed my walking zone. I stepped back.
"Are you alright?"He asked.
"Yes, yes I'm fine," I put on a fake grin.
"You know that definitely does not work on me, I know something's wrong."
"I'm honestly fine," I forced him to believe me. "look- see" I showed him my face.
"Hmm," He inspected my face thoroughly and then, seeing nothing sighed. "Michael, can you see that? My dear Sophie is growing a spot on her forehead."
My hand moved quickly to my forehead and I felt around it quickly. It was true. There was a big lump. I could feel it. It was huge, so huge that anyone could see it from a meter.
"Oh yes, Howl, I see it clearly. Just what on earth did you do to you're forehead Sophie?" Michael asked.
"Nothing, certainly. I did nothing." I was certain of it.
"Are you sure? You sure you didn't put a type of... I don't know...On it?" Howl enquired.
"Well first I definitely did not put anything on it, you do know that spots happen don't you?"
"Why of course I do," Howl stated.
"So you can stop asking me then, can't you?"
He puckered his lips to one corner and stuck them out like a frown. "But I don't want to,"
I glowered. "You do not want to say that now,"
He raised his eyebrows. "Ohh, do you hear that Michael? That's the sound of a beast; she wants me to stop asking her. But I can't do that, I have to find out why that AWFUL spot is planted on her head. I only wanted to know why and all of a sudden she's turning on me. I'm scared Michael~." He added a frightened quiver to his tone and cowered behind Michael.
"Oh stop it Howl!" Michael snapped.
"Fine!" Howl emerged from behind Michael with a sharp glare towards my direction and a "tsk" at Michael. "I only wanted to have fun, but I can see now that not one of you is privileged enough to go under the category of "fun"."
From the corner of my eye I could see Michael mimic Howl. His lips were moving accurately and at the exact same time as Howl. Almost in unison.
I chuckled quietly and grinned to myself.
"Oh, so I see one of you can have "fun"." Howl suddenly piped in from behind me.
I wiped the smile of my face and turned to him. "Hmm, what did you say? I couldn't hear you."
"Nothing, nothing, just resume with laughing at Michael failed attempt to mimic me. Which by the way Michael I knew you were doing, so it was completely pointless." He winked at Michael and patted his head to which Michael immediately shrugged off.
"Rats," He muttered.
"Oh yes, there are quite a few rats in the castle now, ever since Sophie left," Howl retorted.
I sighed and resumed with my inner thoughts.
Which was...?
Oh yes.
L.
An unknown specimen of some sort.
Right?
A/N: Well well well, I always knew Sophie was going to get spots some day. xD hahaa, whisper: Howl actually put a spell on Sophie so that she'd be fooled and think she had a spot on her forehead. She didn't actually. It's just cruel cruel Howl again~
Howl's P.O.V
All this "L" conversation is getting to my head.
Really.
Getting.
To.
My.
Head.
I know of all people I am a drama freak, and admitting it is a big step, but L- he's everywhere.
Everywhere I turn, I hear him. Not physically but he's caused all sorts of problems.
He's made Sophie cry, or at least I think it's him, but I definitely can't forgive him.
I want to engage myself in a long talk with Calcifer over a cup of coffee; I want to be snuggled in my robe and slippers.
But that's impossible now.
"Michael?"I called out. "Where are we going now?"
"Well, we decided to go back home, we can right?" Michael replied.
"Yes we can,"
"So... Where is it?" Where do we go?" Sophie asked.
"Um, wait, it's by spell. Let me remember it." I rummaged my head for the words. It was... "Go back now!" Right?
No.
I could see Michael and Sophie stop in their footsteps to give me a quick glance.
"Howl? You remember it right?"" Sophie shot me a worried look.
And then it dawned on me.
"Yes!"
"Oh thank the Gods!" Michael whispered.
I ran closer to them and with one look back I uttered two words:
"Go forward!"
And in a zoom, well more than that, we arrived back at the castle.
I collapsed onto a chair and kicked off my shoes.
Michael and Sophie did so with less energy and slumped onto the remaining seats.
"Oh thank goodness you're back Howl!" Calcifer screeched. "Morgan was worried sick! He's upstairs now, on his bed."
"What?"
"What took you so long? It's been almost a day!"
"Really?" I searched around for clues that the night had settled. Finally, my gaze fell on the window just next to the door. Outside was a clear view of pitch black. "Oh,"
"Yes, Oh,"
"Sorry Calcifer, it was actually less for us. We were only gone for a few hours, or so it felt like it."
Calcifer scrutinized my face and sighed.
"Fine, you win, go, go upstairs. Morgan needs you."
"Yes, will do." I got up and stretched my hands up. Then, when I'd finished I trudged along the floorboard and up the steps.
"Wait!" I heard it. Quick and urgent. It was Sophie. "Can I come with you?"
I blinked and stared at her. A look of confusion swept over my face and before I could say anything, she explained.
"I want to see Morgan."
"Oh yes, that. Well come with me then," I instructed her to follow me.
I heard the diligent footsteps from behind me as she took a step one after me.
I opened the door to Morgan's room and squinted into the dark.
"Well, this is it." I announced.
Something shuffled in the room.
"Who is it?" I asked.
I heard a whimper then followed by load sobs.
"Morgan?"
"Yes daddy?"
"Oh, I'm so sorry Morgan!" I rushed over to his side and grabbed him.
Sophie stood awkwardly at the door hinge. She was analysing Morgan, or I thought she was.
After Morgan had calmed down and I'd placed him back on the bed, he stared at Sophie.
"This is you're mother Morgan." I introduced.
"Yes..." He whispered inaudibly.
