I do not own Howls Moving Castle or any of its characters.
With that being said Howl and Sophie disappeared through the hole separating the worlds leaving everything that Sophie was used to behind.
Sophie took a look around the living room that would now be hers for however long it took her to gain enough control of her powers to cross back over to her world. Life was certainly going to be interesting with Howl. The pretence of being a damsel in distress would have to go but if she was being completely honest with herself she was beginning to get sick and tired of it all. Breaking the fact that she had powers of her own which in all likelihood would be greater than Howl's was going to have to come up pretty soon. It might be better to get the news out of the way as quick as possible as the powers might need and extra hand controlling.
"Howl I'm sorry I was so angry with you as we were crossing the barrier, its just hard leaving my parents in another world while I am here."
"Sophie I meant what I said, If you need someone to talk to I am here for you."
"Howl there is something that I need to tell you, well show might actually be a better way of doing this. Please you might want to sit down as this might come as a bit of a shock after all that's happened."
"Sophie, what ever it is I'm sure its not anything you need to be so worried looking about."
"Howl please just do as I tell you for once and have a seat."
"Ok, ok I'm sitting what's so important that you have to show me the moment we returned from your world, I thought you might want some time to come to terms with things. You've just left your home for good."
"BE QUIET HOWL! I'm trying to show you the reason I'm not a mass of tears at the moment. Just sit and watch."
Sophie slowly started pulling strands of magic out of the air swirling them around in a mini whirlpool of greens, blues, purples and reds. Slowly Sophie started levitating amongst the strands she had pulled from the air.
Howl was in shock this wasn't something he had suspected happening in a million years. He was out of his chair in a shot.
"When? How? Sophie you shouldn't be able to just pull magic out of the air."
"Howl its ok calm down and I will explain."
"But….How?... It's not possible your world has no magic."
"Howl please just sit down again and I will explain everything. There is a lot more to me than I have let you believe. My name is Sophie Carter from Inverness like I told you but I am not completely human. I am half fae on my mum's side; my father knows nothing about my mum's side of the family. I have been running most of my life from the hunters who would like to steal my essence. There are hunters in this world but they seem to be unintelligent beings which the witch of the waste. I'm afraid I had to put on pretence of being afraid of the witch of the waste as I wasn't sure that I could trust you. She is nothing compared to the power that I have in my little finger. The yoogle was nothing of consequence; I had to let the pain spell take hold slightly to give the impression that I was an ordinary girl who needed protection. I am sorry that I had to lie to you but as I said I can't let just anyone know who I am. Will you help me to keep my secret until I have the power to return to my world and take care of the hunters for once and for all?"
Howls jaw had dropped, he was in shock. The fae were supposed to be a myth something that fairytales were made of.
"Fa…Fae, your fae, but they are a myth."
"Howl I know it's hard to believe but I am honestly half fae and I need your help to keep me safe. Will you help me?
Thank you for all the reviews and the requests for updates. I'm sorry it's taking so long between updates.
