This is one of the options that i could chose to do, and i am retelling chapter three from Michaels point of view! hope you like it!

Chapter three:

I woke suddenly to the sound of banging and a lot of loud yelling. I got swiftly out of bed and promptly fell down again onto the floor. Why, oh why! I wondered to myself, thinking that if I ever did try to clean up the castle I might actually be able to walk. I stumbled in a bleary daze around my room trying to find the door through all the mess. I located the cool knob of the gold, brass door and stepped out into the cold hallway. The banging grew louder, with a long screech of “Let me in! I call that very unwelcoming!” Growing considerably more worried by the minute, I ran down the stairs to where Calcifer the fire demon was sitting up against a log. “What is that sound! Can’t you make it go away Calcifer?!” I asked the fire. “She wants to come in! I don’t know who she is but I don’t think she’s the witch of the waste…I’ll let her in, otherwise she may break the magic of the spell!” Calcifer replied with an evil grin spreading across the bruised purple of his lips. “What! No Calcifer! You know what Howl says!” But it was too late. Calcifer had opened the door wide, the door swinging inwards. As a gust of wind blew cold into the warmth of the castle. A small frail grey thing slowly and ungracefully pulled herself up onto the hearth of the doorstep, the door swinging loudly closed behind her with a bang. I cringed back as she stood up with a disgruntled expression on her face. I ran back into the shadows so that she couldn’t see me. “What disgusting behaviour! I have never seen such disgrace in my life! Not even waiting for an old lady to get to a door! Ugh!” The old lady seemed to be on a rant, but I spied her eyes scanning the room, I cringed back into the darkness as her eyes swept over where I was standing. I saw her eyes stray towards the seat next to Calcifer who was being very quiet. “Ah! My fortune!” said the old lady. She walked with an air about her that I thought was not possible for a lady her age. She reached the chair and sat down sighing. I walked into the light and made a small coughing sound to tell the lady that I was here. When she didn’t look up I walked over to her and asked with as much politeness as I could muster: “Who are you? And what is it that you want?” Her eyes opened a fraction and then closed again. “Tell wizard Howl that this castle’s going to come apart round his ears if it travels much further” She said in an old frail voice. I watched as she looked me up and down and settled down further into her chair. “The castle’s bespelled to hold together” I said in a wary voice. “And I’m afraid that Howl’s not here just at the moment, so I must as you to leave” I said trying to add confidence into my voice. “When will Howl be back?” She asked me. “Probably not till tomorrow, so there is no point waiting here” I said. The old lady sat sighed and closed her eyes again. “I’m afraid that only a wizard can possibly help me. I’ll wait for him if you don’t mind.” What will it take to get her out of here! I thought. Well there’s no point in making her go, she doesn’t seem that bad…maybe Howl can sort her out. “Tell Howl, the names Sophie” the lady said, her whole body going slack with tiredness. “Okay, fine, wait.” I said. I still couldn’t shake a feeling of annoyance at the lady. She was very rude indeed. I hovered behind her for a while till I knew that she was asleep. I walked over to my work bench and took out my notes of the classes I had taken with Howl and worked on them trying to work on the spells that he had taught me.

When I knew that the woman was totally asleep, I could tell by the sort snores coming from her. I walked over to Calcifer and asked “Are you //sure// it’s not the Witch of the Waste?” “Of course I’m sure Michael! I wouldn’t have let her in if it was anything otherwise!” Calcifer answered annoyed that I had doubted his ability. I faked a loud yawn and said “I’m beat, I’m going to bed. Wake me if Howl comes back” “Alright” Said Calcifer. But instead of going to bed, I went to lie down on the small chair in the shadows. I needed to be ready, on guard. Who knows what this woman would do next! I felt myself falling into a deep sleep; I let the darkness take me into unconsciousness. For the second time today, I was woken, but not by banging, by loud voices talking in whispers. I shook my head trying to stay in the present. I looked over to where the woman was sitting. It was Sophie and Calcifer talking. I walked over to the wall and crept closer hiding behind a small stool so as not to be seen. “You have a spell on you don’t you. You want Howl to fix it! Aren’t you scared that he will take your heart?!” asked Calcifer in an awed whisper. “Yes! I am under a spell! Cast by the Witch of the Waste, that retched woman! What I wouldn’t give…! Well I don’t think Howl would want my heart! I’m an old woman whose heart is shrivelled and ugly!” Sophie said to Calcifer. “I’m a fire demon, I’ve been put into a contract with Howl, I can’t leave till I’ve done everything that he asks!” Calcifer said. “That’s horrible!” said Sophie. “I know!” replied Calcifer. “I could break that spell that you’re under; you know.” said Calcifer slyly. Sophie’s head snapped up and looked intently at the fire. “Really?” Sophie asked. “I mean, you can break it completely? But you’re a fire demon. Demon’s don’t do things unless there’s something in it for them…” Calcifer chuckled at this and replied, “You catch on fast for an old lady. Yes, maybe there is a catch but I think you’d be willing to take the chance. By this time, I was getting very worried; I mean what those two were planning and what would, Howl think of this. I was happy they couldn’t see me, for my breath was coming quick and fast now. What was Calcifer planning to do?! What was he going to make Sophie do?! I quietly brushed off a piece of cobweb that had fallen onto my shoulder, and pulled the jacket that I had on, even closer to me and shivered. Not from the cold though. Calcifer and Sophie broke my reverie, “Okay so what’s the catch?” Sophie asked Calcifer. “Well, I have a contract with Howl and I need you to break it. I’m fastened to this blasted heath, and I can’t stir as much as a foot away! I’m forced to do almost all of the magic around here! Howl’s really quite heartless you know.” The fire replied with a fierce anger. “So if I break this contract…you will break the spell I’m under. So what’s in this for you?” Sophie asked. “What’s in it for me?! I’m being exploited at my own consent! I want to be free again! To do anything of free will! That’s what’s in it for me!” said Calcifer. “So what are the terms of this contract? How do I break it?” asked Sophie. “Son we have a bargain?” asked Calcifer, the wicked smile playing on his face again. “If you agree to break the spell on me?” Sophie said sighing. “Done!” cried Calcifer Happily. My heart was racing in my throat I didn’t know what to think, or what to make of what had just happened. How was I going to fix this mess without Calcifer finding out?! By Carolyn
