RedBrick- thanks I like my little language….

Addicted To Manga- I completely made it up XD! Well she knows him from what Kyre has told her….

"You don't seem to understand the situation girl you have no choice," Howl growled.

"You have no right to call me girl I'm probably MUCH older than you raron and you can't make me. Let's just wait for her to die than we'll talk."

"How about not how about I let you kept your voice…" Howl stated.

"Wha-" Howl linked the necklace around her neck completely she tried desperately to talk but no sound came from her lips.

"I can see your having problems talking and I can imagine for a creature like you that would be a problem…….isn't something like if your kind doesn't use your voice it's almost like you can't breath" Howl said in a matter of fact voice.

Glaring at him evilly she gave a silent sigh than nodded.

"So you'll take the spell off Sophie?"

Reluctantly she nodded…than pointed at her neck…

Nodding Howl took the necklace as she cleared her voice "you do realize I can't take the whole spell off because Kyre helped me cast it…"

"Yes but what will the after affect be?" Calcifer asked.

"Just a slight bitter longing in her heart and mind" Celestra said shrugging "complete sorrow and depression or their might be none at all I don't know."

"Fine just take off what you can," Howl snapped.

Giving him a cold glare she cleared her voice standing in front of Sophie.

"Gleaming in the dark sea I'm as light as air floating there breathlessly when the dream dissolves I open up my eyes I realize everything is shore less sea a weightless is passing over me" ((Nina Gordon))

Color was slowly returning to Sophie's face and she looked around then looked at Howl standing up in a shaky way "Howl?" she took a blank step forward. Swiftly Howl caught her before she fell she started sobbing in his arms as they both sank to the ground.

"Shh it's all right it's all right I'm here I'll always protect you" Howl murmured to her ruffling her hair.

Celestra looked at them both the turned around putting her hand to her mouth "Kyre where are you I'm trapped I need you where am I?" she whispered to herself silently.

Later when Sophie's better

They were all sitting down staring at Celestra

"So she's the one who created this mess," Sophie asked.

"Yes she's the creature who did most of it" Howl said sighing.

"Master Howl you keep on calling her creature but isn't she just a witch?" Markl asked curious.

"No haven't you seen her eyes" Celestra wasn't looking at them blinking she cast her glance at them all "they're completely black."

Those black eyes flickered with some unreadable emotion "you don't have to call me a creature" she stated icily fingering the necklace around her neck cutting off her powers.

"Then what is she?"

"A siren to some a mermaid there are many names for them water nymphs but in retrospect she's a water maiden."

IAG- hah she's always called a siren but now you know she really is XD!

"But she looks completely human" Sophie commented.

"Some have the powers to change their appearance" Howl informed her.

"So Howl what do we do now suck her dry for information" Calcifer asked.

"Sure…. so gi- I mean Celestra I wasn't aware they Kyre had a servant doing his dirty work" Howl said indifferently.

Glaring at him indignantly "I'm his jous you raron" she spat.

"Is that so are you sure he's not just using you" Howl asked simply enough.

"NO EVERYTHING KYRE SAID WAS RIGHT YOU ARE A HASERN" she screamed.

Howl looked at her calmly "no I'm just angered that Kyre has brought this personal spat to the people close to me."

Celestra looked at him with a hysterical smile on her face and was breathing slightly heavily "close to you" she giggled "I'm sure that you're not using this young girl" she said motioning to Sophie.

"Excuse me" Sophie interrupted "who is this Kyre and what the heck going is going on!"

Howl sighed "well my dear Kyre was a apprentice of Madam Suliman as well as I, but when she starting favoring me and ignoring him. He got jealous he left the order and blamed me claiming he'd come back for revenge. And I'm guessing he trained and at one a point met her and now he's coming after me."

Celestra glared at them silently.

"Does anyone else feel that chill in the air" Howl stated sarcastically.

"Well might as well cut to the chase you're going to ask me questions about Kyre of which I'll not answer at all. Then you'll give up and either kill me or let me go one of the two" Celestra said breathlessly.

"Well as you said we were going to ask questions but if you won't answer them might as well say you're staying here" Howl said simply.

"WHAT!" both Celestra and Calcifer said at the same time.

"You're staying here I figure after enough time Kyre will within enough time come here for you to either make sure his information is safe or to actually rescue you and then we can talk" Howl stated plainly.

"Howl did at one point you lose your mind she can't stay here she'll kill us in our sleep" Calcifer warned.

"No she won't because I'm the only one that can remove that necklace" Howl stated.

IAG- opps I pretty much excluded the witch lol

Celestra gasped and looked at Howl "well that ruins my plans of killing you while you sleep" she said. What worried Howl was that he didn't know if she was joking or …….not.

One thing's for sure she can't be trusted at all not if she can't trust them.

Kyre's Castle Place

Kyre grabbed at his dark brown hair wildly looking through his papers "if I could only find out her location I could get to her easily" he mumbled to himself.

A dark shadow grew in the corner of his study it growled and he raised his head instantly grabbing the strange gun like thing as his side. Whirling around in a second he shot it with the strange blessed silver bullets twice . It gave an unnatural shriek as it shriveled up.

"This is great they got past the barrier and with Celestra alone they could get to her easily I have to find her and quickly before they find out she's gone."

At Howl's Late At Night

Celestra also being a magical needed no sleep if she wanted to she could but at this point it was to no avail.

Sitting in a chair across from Calcifer the red flame gleamed in the pitch black eyes "Calcifer right" she asked breaking the silence.

"Mm hm" Calcifer mumbled.

"If you're free why are you here working to keep the castle going?"

"If you're free why do you travel with Kyre?"

"You never answered my question" she commented.

"You never answered mine" he shot back.

"I guess it's because I …..love him" she answered quietly "now what about you answer my question?"

"I guess it's because of a bond between Howl and I sharing a heart will do that and they're my friends."

"Are you happy here?" she asked.

"Content is more the answer."

"We are not so different you and I" she said looking at him "perhaps if we have met under different circumstances we could have been harienms?"

"………………….. Howl's not so bad if you get to know him" Calcifer stated.

"Who Kyre loves I love, who Kyre hates I hate" she declared.

"I find it difficult to believe someone like you could be so loyal" Calcifer said unsure.

"Why? Simply because of what I am I am unable to love or be loyal…in that case I could say to you a demon cannot have friends."

"…………………………………" Calcifer stayed quiet but then thought of something "how can you be sure he even feels the same way?"

Celestra looked down at her hands "I don't really know how he feels but I will continue to help him until I am unable."

"That's not very-"

"Do you mind if I sing it's something I have to do daily the chain only ensures I can't cast spells."

"You might wake the others but I don't care."

"It's their fault for keeping me here."

Clearing her throat she walked over to a window looking out at the dark night sky "don't be too loud."

"I see a shadow every day and night.
I walk a hundred streets of neon lights,
only when I'm crying.
Can you hear me crying.
So many times you always wanted more,
Chasing illusions that you're longing for.
Wish I wasn't crying.
Can you hear me crying."

Tears slide down her face she truly wanted to go back.

"There's an ocean between us.
You know where to find me.
You reach out and touch me.
I feel you in my own heart.
More than a lifetime.

Still goes on forever.
But it helps to remember
you're only an ocean away."

Upstairs Howl stayed with Sophie whom was still shaking slightly in her sleep he listened quietly hearing the fairy like creature singing downstairs. He knew she needs this so decided not to stop her. Looking down at Sophie he trailed his hand across her face he loved Sophie he knew what that girl was probably feeling.

"Was there a moment when I felt no pain.
I want to feel it in my life again.
Let it be over now.
Oh over now.
'Cause I remember all the days and nights
we used to walk the streets of neon lights
Oh I want you here with me.
Oh be here with me."

Markl woke up when he heard her singing and wonder as some younger people do what is she feeling to make her sing like that.

"There's an ocean between us.
You know where to find me.
You reach out and touch me.
I feel you in my own heart.
More than a lifetime
still goes on forever.
But it helps to remember
you're only an ocean away."

Calcifer watched in awe almost enchanted by the sorrow in her own voice.

"So many times you always wanted more,
Chasing illusions that you're longing for.
Wish I wasn't crying.
Can you hear me crying."

The Witch Of the waste listened with her eyes closed remembering when she felt that way.

"There's an ocean between us.
You know where to find me.
Just reach out and touch me.
I feel you in my own heart.
More than a lifetime
it seems like forever.
But I'll always remember
you're only an ocean away.

Kyre woke up in his own black bed shaking he looked at his right half expecting to see the soft black eyes staring back at him as they always did. Putting his hand to the empty space he closed his eyes trying to hear her voice.

"Only an ocean away."
