Love That Never Dies (Howl Pendragon x Reader)

Chapter 3 {Almost there}

I kept strolling every single country. I feel like i'm closing, I know I am. I'm almost there, i'm close on finding Howl.

I just know it. I just need more time, more patience, and more energy. I can see Howl again.

I'm walking to the street of the unknown town or country, looking around for Howl.

Just then I heard someone or more like a child gettiing beaten on the alley. And brave of me, I went to the alley and found a child with this big mustache and a blue hood on.

I immediately push the men away from the child and soon they were scared away. I turn around to face the child but he already run away. Well, I don't care, as long as he fine.

''I wonder why did he have to wear such big mustache?'' I asked myself as I walked away from the dark alley.

It was'nt the best day today but at least I have helped a child in trouble, right? Oh well, what now? I don't think Howl can be around here. After all, I have'nt seen anyone here that have the same hair cut like him.

I went back to the place I was staying to take a break for now. It was a hard today, and when I told you hard. I mean, too hard. I feel like i'll shatter anytime. My body can't even handle the pain of everything I have been doing, but I still force it to move.

I did'nt knew this was the struggle I have to face. But I don't have any regrets. It might seem hard but I need to keep going or else...

I don't even want to know the 'else', I just don't want to think that there is something else.

I stood up from the couch and proceed to continue my journy. It looks so hard to walk now but i'm determined to do this.

Once I got out, the first thing that caught my eyes was this random building that is colored with yellow paint but the name of the shop was too smudge that I can't see any of the words but I notice some letters that says...

' en ins Sh p'

Enins shp? I know there are some letters missing on it, but what letters? What letters that could complete that name?

I know the last one means 'Shop' but what is the first word? I did'nt mind it at all, since it'll just stop me, but I notice someone come out of the shop and it was the same child I just save just now.

A smile creep on my face as I walked towards him.

''Hi, i'm the girl who saved you lately.'' I said intruducing myself.

The child got scared a little but then calmed down after. ''Markl. Nice to meet you.'' he said helding his hand out for me to shake.

I shake his hands ''Nice to meet you Markl. I should'nt stay for too long, I need to go. I'm looking for someone else.'' I said with a smile.

He nod and watch me walked away as he enter the shop again. It was nice to meet some new people but I need to get going.

Once I finally got to scan the whole the town, I should get out of this country; but why can't I? I mean, I don't want to leave yet. It feels like I have a feeling that someone's trying to stop me from going.

Now that I have start thinking about it, I can't get that random shop out of my head. Why? Is that child a wizard or I don't know.

Once night fell, I was still outside walking around, doing nothing since I already scan the whole place. It's just my guts that did'nt want to go.

I kept looking at the magnificent shops but the only one that kept bugging my mind was that shop with smudged title. It seems like it has some magic that wants to pull me back there.
