As Sophie started to come round from the trance like state she was in she regained her senses and slapped Howl hard across the face. Wiping some of the smirk off his face with the shock but not for long.
"Ohh come on Sophie don't say you didn't enjoy that because I know you did." Howl tried to move closer to Sophie again but she was having none of it. Her anger was off the chart for her now. She made her way to the door and wrenched it open. Howl had failed to put the retaining spell on it again when he came home, so Sophie could now leave the castle.
"I AM LEAVING; I WILL FIND MY OWN WAY HOME. I AM NOT GOING TO STAY ANOTHER MINUTE IN THIS PLACE!" Sophie shouted as she ran out the door.
Howl stood in shock he had planned on teasing Sophie a little but maybe he had taken it too far. Now Sophie had left the safety of the castle and he had to go after her as she was not used to this world or wise to the dangers that the waste held for a young girl such as herself. Howl rushed out the door after Sophie in hope to try and bring her back and apologise for some of his actions.
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Howl left the castle and spotted Sophie running down hill stumbling slightly as she hit uneven ground on the way. Howl scanned the surrounding area as well searching for any possible threats to both himself and the fleeing Sophie. The wastes were not the best of areas for a young girl to be at the moment especially one who didn't have any knowledge of magic or the war that was going on between the kingdoms. He didn't see any immediate threats but that didn't mean to say that the area was safe.
"Sophie stop, come back there's a war going on you cant be out here alone." Howl shouted while running down hill to try and catch her.
"GET AWAY FROM ME YOU FREAK!" Sophie shouted back over her shoulder.
Howl was catching on Sophie quickly but it wasn't long before they weren't the only two on the hill. Their shouting had informed others to their prescence and without the safety that the castle offered Sophie was a sitting duck.
"SOPHIE PLEASE" Howl begged, but he was too late.
"Hello precious fancy a ride?" a guy was hovering close to Sophie on what only could be described as a bullet with wings.
Sophie screamed as the guy wrapped his arms around her waist and hoisted her onto the back of his flying machine. "GET OFF ME YOU BA…..!"
"Now, now precious no lip! Its not pleasant when a woman as lovely as you swear, just sit back and keep your lips together and we will get on swimmingly."
Sophie tried to move and open her lips again but found that it was like she was glued to the seat and her lips were zipped shut.
"There you see its soo much better when you let me do the talking and when your not struggling. I wont hurt you, well not unless you don't give me what my mistress or I want. My name is Justin if you are wondering luv and we are going to have a great time together I can just see it now."
HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Meanwhile Howl was left speechless on the hill, Sophie had been snatched out of his protection by none other than Justin, The witch of the waste's personal assistant. What do they want with her anyway? Howl had no idea what to do so he just stood there for a full 5 minutes staring at the spot where Sophie had been before turning and sprinting back to the castle his brain finally kicking into gear. He had to get Sophie back no matter the cost, she could not be left to Justin and his mistress.
