Ok I'm writing this story with my friend so each chapter will be in my pov and then in hers except for the first two which will be me.

Prologue

"My Sophie, I knew you would change your mind soon enough," the Prince said grabbing her hand, and leading her to his ship. If you looked closely you could see a build up of tears on the rim of Howl's eye as he attempted to keep his feelings hidden from the world.

"Farewell my friends," she called as they set off to an unknown destination, only knowing there was no turning back Howl, the boy and the Witch of the Waste, all looked off into horizon watching as the small ship ran out of site.

Howl just let his feelings go, remaining calm through all of the commotion.

A few days passed as Howl's personality had a dramatic change. Howl began to develop multiple personalities, two of them. One side was loving, kind, and affectionate, open to others and with himself. While the other was loving and kind, he kept to himself a lot, not allowing anyone to see through his outer mask.

There was trouble for the rest of them, having to live through Howl's switching personalities. That's when the old and crazy Wicked Witch of the Waste got a fantastic idea. Why not separate Howl into two beings, each one being one of his personalities? They would look relatively the same.

It was done, in the end. The original's hair turned blonde, taking in the open personality. The second was called Shadow for his black hair and closed mind.

That was when the big change happened. They were transferred to a different world, one which would change there life forever.

The two boys, each looking the same excluding the hair, would once again find happiness.

Author's note: that's what I got next is the first chapter by me. In first person, that is just telling you what has happened.

Hi people this is Inuluvsu writing here and we're in for another wondrous story.

I watch as a float passes by me. It's the Thanksgiving Day parade and I'm trying to enjoy it alone. I feel a hand fall on my shoulder as I turn to see a blue eyed blonde guy in my face. He seems to be no older then 18, and has a kind smile that could beat my ex any day.

"My lady, do you know where we are?" His voice is deep, and along with the oddly formal way of talking he seems even more handsome.

"In New York. May I ask what your name is?" I ask politely.

"Howl and yours is?" he asked back, as I smile into his dreamy eyes.

"Tanya. Where are you from?" I answer and ask him, as we walk away from the noisy crowd.

"Nowhere really. I travel where ever I wish," he tells me, his hand taking mine. "So, do you believe in witchcraft?"

"Maybe," I answer, as our feet lift off the ground. "You're a wizard?"

"Yes, so you want to go out or something?" He blushes as he asks. I feel my skin turn a faint pink, as I stare into his eyes.

I guess he took it as a yes, for he asked me for a close, but good restaurant. I told him that down the corner there was an Italian restaurant where we could get a decent meal. We sit down at a small table, and the waiter hands us two menus.

While we eat, we talk, getting to know each other better. Each minute brings us closer together.

"So, where are you staying?" I ask him, then I giggle at the huge bite he takes of the pasta he had ordered.

"I have no idea," he replies, wiping some sauce off his face.

"Well I have an extra room," I tell him, as the bill is handed to him. Signing the bill, he agrees to my fine idea as we quickly make our way towards my apartment building.

Weeks pass. We begin to know each other very well. Soon it's not just love at first sight, but good and solid true love.

My room mate, Amy, grew jealous by the day. What she doesn't know is that Howl has a twin.

But this chapter is about me.

I plan to head off to separate seats with Howl when we get in to the movie. Right now, Howl and I are walking hand in hand with Amy behind us.

We pick out a movie, then pay and head off to the food stand. Howl pays as I find the theater directed on the tickets. We sit down in the middle as the lights dim and the previews start. I lean my head against his shoulder, as his arm wraps around my shoulder, his head leans towards mine, and the movie begins.

By the middle of the film, I'm clinging on to Howl's shoulder. Hard. I never realized how scary a film could be until now. I rip my eyes away from the screen with shudder, and I see Howl's face turn. A smile is on his face as his hand guides my face to his and our lips meet. His lips are as soft as baby skin, as are his hands, which stroke my cheek ever so lightly.

I feel his tongue dance upon my lower lip, but then he pulls away as the light turns back on and the movie end.

My roommate, Amy, does her vampire imitation, cowering from the light, hissing and saying "the light–it burns" in a Gollum voice. We all laugh, then fly back to the apartment where bed awaits the us.

We settle down into bed, him in another room, of course. We dream of nights and days to come, and of the love that binds the two of us.

Yes, I love Howl. He is the one. I'm sure of it.

I open my eyes to find the moon still out and the clock telling us it is 12 am; it is too early for a new day. I get out of bed and walk into the kitchen, where I find a guy who resembles Howl very closely.

"Howl?" I question softly as he turns his head.

"My name is Shadow," he says as glares at me with a look that could kill. I run back towards the bedrooms, but not to mine. To Howl's.

"Howl," I shake his arm hastily. "Wake up; there's a man in the kitchen."

His beautiful eyes open as he leaves the bed, Shit, he's nude, I think to myself as a blush quickly spread over both of our faces.

"Sorry." he wraps himself with the sheets and walks into the kitchen. We see Amy already in the kitchen, looking as pissed off as you can get. Amy is the queen of getting angry.

"Shadow," Howl mutters at his twin, who is glaring at Amy.

"Well, Howl fancy meeting you here," Shadow says sarcastically, smirking at his other half.

"You know him?" both Amy and I ask my boyfriend. Shadow and Howl turn to look at me.

"Yeah, he's my brother," Howl replies, walking up to him. They stare at each other for a while. "So why are you here?"

"I sensed your presence. Thought I could stay here for a while," he says, "You got a problem with that?"

"Tanya?" Howl asks me.

"Well, there are not enough rooms, and Amy is probably the one to ask. She looks like she'd suffer the most, as she doesn't like him and doesn't want to live with him," I tell Howl.

Well if you sleep with me then he could take your room," Howl suggests. Both of our faces are beet red. I stare into his eyes once more, and as I am secretly saying yes to his idea, I go to grab my belongings. I hear Amy sarcastically shout at me, "Well thanks for asking," (I never actually asked her) but I ignore her. I set up a cot in the room, and put my possessions in the extra closet. I kiss Howl on the lips good night and lie down on the bed for a night's worth of sleep. I feel a warm breath on my neck,

"This is not what I meant," breathes Howl.

"What did you mean then?" I say, my tone with a sexy edge.

"Sex," he replies kissing my neck, sending shivers down my spine.

"Too tired," I say and snuggle into the covers as I hear a squeak come out of the bed that Howl was using.
