Chapter 3: In Which Another Occupant of the Moving Castle Arrives
"YOU'RE WHAT?!" Wyn remembered Morgan yelling in surprise when their parents had announced something.
Wyn sighed. 'A new sibling and I'm already sixteen!!! Boy, that's going to be weird . . .' she thought with mixed emotions.
"Things are never going to be the same in the moving castle," Morgan grumbled. He was sitting on Wyn's bed chatting about the recent events with his sibling.
"Of course they aren't," Wyn replied inattentively. She twirled one of her red gold locks absently.
She was sitting at her desk doodling on a scratch piece of paper. "I can't draw," she mumbled disappointedly as she observed her strange sketch of Morgan she'd been working on. She had to laugh. It really was horrid to her critical eye with it's sloppy mess of hair made by the sides of her pencil and a mouth that had been erased so many time the paper had a rough faded look to it underneath the final mouth. "At least I can draw eyes," she muttered with some approval as she examined the grayish blue orbs. She liked to draw even though she had little skill in it.
"I don't think that looks like me," said Morgan leaning over her shoulder.
"Maybe it's you in abstract form," Wyn defended herself.
"Nope. I think its just bad drawing skills. I hope our new BROTHER has better artistic abilities than you at least," Morgan remarked mockingly.
Wyn scowled at the blandness of her brother's remark, and retorted, "Who said the baby was going to be a boy?"
"I do of course," Morgan answered confidently.
"Confident, aren't we?" Wyn asked darkly.
Morgan didn't seem to notice, or he chose to ignore, the threatening tone in his sibling's voice. "It will naturally be a boy because so that males can officially dominate the moving castle with more population."
Wyn glared at Morgan at that and threw her picture in his face. Morgan only gave her a crooked grin in return and went on to another subject. "Wanna talk about the vision again?"
"No."
"Oh, okay then. I have to go meet Lexi," Morgan said quickly.
"Who's Lexi? Never mind, let me guess, Lexi's the latest girlfriend, right? And I bet you're going to 'showoff' the new baby when he or she is born so girls think you're a 'sensitive man," Wyn noted with a cocky laugh.
"Humph, oh come off it, Wyn. Why do you have to make fun of my grand courting skills?"
"Grand?! You're delusional! I really just like mocking you because you're my brother, Stupid," Wyn replied.
Morgan gave his sister a look full of amusement and said, "Whatever, Sis. I gotta go."
"Bye, Mor," Wyn said turning back at her desk. She stuffed her drawing inside one of her drawers and sighed. "A new baby is going to change everything around here," she muttered.
************************************************************************
Wyn was right; everything changed. Several months later to Morgan's delight the baby was a boy and was named Rhys. He had Howl's original black hair and bright green eyes, but he had Sophie's mouth and nose.
Rhys Jenkins was the latest member of the occupants of Howl's Moving Castle.
