Howl's Room Howl's Moving Castle Novels & Stories

What followed was a gust of wind that hit our faces exposing a large, magnificent castle with a colossal structure of a werewolf in front, possessing a key between its jaws. We walked in simultaneously stride after stride. After about twenty minutes we reached into the castle. “Listen carefully, follow the right, right and middle. That's the row you’ll find room 7089 and that's your room.” She said, her tone brimmed with self assurance. “Look, I don’t have any clothes now. When I got out of the portal I couldn't see any of my things.” “You carried things through a portal.” She replied, chuckling.

A pair of enraged hazel-coloured gazes glared into the blackness that was slowly enveloping the throne room of the Dark Castle, with its sticky embrace. Vigorous, intimidating belly laughter that belonged to Mauve, vibrated across the room, shaking every object that was cast as an ornament— synchronising with chills that were racing on Imogen's spine. Imogen; who was continuously puffing and huffing, turned in circles, searching for the owner of the belittling laughter. Mauve was purposely disappearing from her sight, every now and then.

This was planned. Coordinated. Precise. Three from the front. Two circling wide. One waiting. Watching. Smart. I smiled. “Good.” I lunged forward, meeting the first wave head-on. Claws tore into flesh. Teeth clashed. The forest exploded into movement. One wolf leapt for my throat. I shifted mid-motion, my body twisting violently as bone cracked and reshaped— Human. My hand caught its jaw mid-air. I drove a blade straight through its skull.

My heart warmed at the sight. Once he was out of sight, I took a deep breath and turned to look at the little boy standing beside me, his hand wrapped around mine like I was the safest person in the world. I wasn’t sure who was luckier—him for having me, or me for being trusted so quickly by this charming little human. I gave his hand a gentle squeeze. "Come on, soldier. Time to storm the castle." "Castle?" Danny blinked. "My office," I said, chuckling. "It might not have thrones and dragons, but it does have computers and annoying coworkers. Close enough."

"You can sleep in the guest room tonight." "Elena!" I looked back. "I'll be moving out first thing in the morning. Let's just say tonight is... goodbye." That night, I heard sounds from the living room. Footsteps at times, the clink of glass at others, and sometimes, muffled crying. However, I stayed in my room. Some journeys, we had to make on our own.

Raul replied. "She is ours." They all chorused. "My lord, I beg for your favor. Let us help her." Hilda begged again. "Demons do not help anyone! Definitely not werewolves." Raul stood up. The demons murmured. “Lycan!” One spat. "She is a werewolf!" The king stated. "But she has pointy ears." Hilda added. "Elves!" The demons hissed again. "Silence!" The king roared. After a long silence, he stood. "For the sake of Casper, we will save her life."

The sight made my wolf snarl. Inside, the main room had been transformed into a makeshift classroom-cum-recovery area. Children of various ages huddled in small groups. The absence of their usual caretaker—another life claimed by Eamon's brutality—twisted something inside me. My wolf felt it too. "Stay put, little warrior." I set down the bag I'd brought—full of snacks and small toys gathered from the pack house. She had a little bandage on her leg. "I heard what you did last night," I told the young girl, about the age of thirteen.

I turned my head to look at him, covering my eyes from the hospital light. “It’s so bright” Before I could finish my words, the sky went dark as the moon moved in front of it and the light in the hospital room burst and, shattered. I heard the glass pieces crash against the floor. In total shock, I looked at Lucian's figure in the dark before my wolf helped me to see clearly. He had a smug face and his eyes glowed a bright gold. “Better Princess?”

She could not believe he would ask her to get out because of me. With a furious expression on her and her hands clenched into fists, Dianne marched out of the waiting room. The waiting room turned silent as I straightened up. Ulfred's eyes were on me but I did not care. I just needed him to say the way forward and it was as though what had happened a few minutes ago did not happen. "You have to stay in the Dark Wand Pack, else I won't help you." He said to me, suddenly and I frowned.

The wolf was viewed as ferocious and relentless, and the bearer of their symbol was a deadly enemy to have. Moreover, the arrow in the design struck her as odd and had always confused her. Nevertheless, the arrow that was the weapon destined for avengement sliced through only the wolf and the moon. And she had always felt sorry for the wolf. A large, heavy-duty storage cabinet on wheels complete with tools was next to the doorframe, and Minnow could see parts of wheel prints running in front of the door. Minnow could hear a murmur of voices coming from inside the closed chamber. Although she put her ear against the cold steel and believed she was safe against the solid door, it shocked Minno
