Episode
Aight entrance break in fall into a deep flip
There was a large black door in the black wall facing
Sophie and she made for that hobbling briefly
The castle was ugly than ever close to it was far too tall for its height and not a very regular shape as far as if he could see in the growing darkness
It was built a huge black blocks
Like coal and like coal
The blocks were all different shapes and sizes chill breazed off these blocks as she got closer
But that failed to frighten so viet all she just thought of chairs and firesites and stretched her hand out eagerly to the door
Her hand could not come near it
Some invisible wall stopped her hand about a foot from the door
So if she prauded at it with an irritable finger
When that made no difference
She prauded with her stick
The walall seemed to be all over the door from as highest her stick could reach and right down to the hezard sticking out from under the door step open up
So he ccled that it that made no difference to the wall
Very well
So if he said i'll find your back door
She hobboff off the leleft hand corner of the castle
That being both nearest and slightly down a hill
But she could not get round the corner
The invisible wls stopped her again as soon as she was level with the irregular black corner stones
Now this saif he said
A word had learn from mathua that neither old ladies
Nor young girls supposed sed know know stumpmped up ill and anani clock wise to the castil's right hand corner
There was no barrier
There she turned that corner and hobled eagerly toward the second big black door in the middle of that side of the council
There was a barrier over that door too
So if he gloured at it
I call it very unwelcoming
She said
Black smoke er blew down from the bottoms in clouds
So if he coghed now she was angry
She was old frailed chilly and aching all over night was coming on
And the castle just sat a blue smoke
Kata
I'll speak on how about this
She said and set obviously to the next corner
There was no barrier
There evidtly you had to go around the castle anti clockwise
But there a bit sideways in the next wall was a third door
This one was much smaller and shaaba the back door
Lolast safey said the council started to move again as sophie got near the back door
The ground shook
The wall shutred and ceeked
And the door started ted tratraell away sideways from her
Oh No
You don't sofie shouted she ran after the door hitted violently with her stick oprup after yelled she rors brang open in wood still moving away sideways sophie by hobbling furiously managed to get one foot up on its door step
Then she hopped and scrambled and hopped again
While the great black blocks round the door joked and crunched as the castle gathered speed over the uneven a hillside
So he did not wonder
The castle had a lobsided look
The marvel was said it did not fall apart on the spot
What a stupid waiter treator building she painted
And she threw herself inside it
She had to drop her sticken hang onto the open door
In order not to be joked straight out again
When she began to get her breath
She realized there was a person and standing in front of her holding the door too
He was a head taller than sophie
But she could see he was the marrist child early a little old than the matha and he seemed to be trying to shut the door on her
And pusher out of the warm lap lit loban room beyond him into the night again
Don't you have the impuance to shut the door on me
My boy
She said i wasn't going to
But you're keeping the door open
He protested what do you want
So if you look round at what she could see beyond
The boy there were a number of probably visidly things hanging from the beings
Strings of onions
Bunches of herbs and bundles of strange roots
They were also definitely visited things like leather books
Cricket
Bottles and an old brown grinning human skll on the other side of the boy was a fireplace with a small fire burning in the great
It was a much smaller fire than all the smoke outside suggested
But then this was obviously only a backroom in the caste much more important to sophie
This fire had reached the glowing rosy stage with little blue flames dancing on the logs and placed besided in the warmest position was a low chair with a cushion on it
So if you pushed the boy aside and dive for that chair
Ah my fortune
She said and settled herself comfortably in it
It was bliss the fire warmed her riks and the chair supported her back
And she knew that if anyone wanted to turn out
Now they were going to have to use extreme and violent magic to do it
The boy shut the door
That he picked up so ofhis stick and politely leaned against the chair for her
So if he realized that there was now no sign at all that the castle was moving across the hillside
Not even the ghost of a rumble or the tiny shashaking howard toll was it hole
She said to the boy
That this castle was going to come apart around his years
If it travels much further the councils be spell to hold together
The boy said
But i'm afraid house not here just at the moment
This was good news to sophie
When will he be back
She asked a little nervously probably not till tomorrow now
The boy said
What do you want
Can i help you instead
I'm how the prrentice
Michael
This was better news than ever i'm afraid of need a visit can possibly help me
So if he said quickly and firly it was probably true too i wait
If you don't mind it was clear
Michael dead mind he hovered over her a little helpelessly to make it plain to him
That she have no intention of being turned out by a mere boy a prentice
So if he closed her eyes and pretended to go to sleep
Tell him the namesophishe mmomred old ophie
She added to be on the safe side
That will probably mean waiting all night
Michael said
Since this was exactly what so if you wanted she pretended not to hear in fact
She almost certadenly fell into a swift dose
She was so tired more that walking after a moment
Michael gave up and went back to the work
He was doing at the work bench
Whether the lamp stood
So she would have a whole night shelter
Even if it was on slightly false pretences
So if he thought drowsey
Since how was such a wicked man
It probably served him right to be imposed upon
But she intended to be well away from here by the time how came back unraised objections
She looved sleeply and smilly across at the prentice
Hebrother ther surprised her to find him such a nice polite boy
Now after all she had forced away in quite rude
And michael had not complained at all perhaps
How kept him in object ciability but michael did not look survive
He was a tool dark boy with a pleasant openso to face
And he was most respecttively dressed in fact
If so you're not seen him met moment carefufuly ly ping green fflu id out of a crooked fluask onto black powder in a bent glass jar
She would have taken him for the son of a prosperous farmer
How odd so things were bound to be odd where visits were concerned
So he thought and this kitchen or beaukkshop was beautifully cozy and very peaceful
So he went to properly to sleep and snowed
She did not wake up when they came a flash and a muted bang from the work bench
Followed by a hardly bitten ough swear word from michael
She did not wake when michael sucking his burn fingers put the spell aside for the night and fetched bread and cheese out of the closet
She did not stir when michael knock or stick down with a clatter reaching over her for a log to put
Put on firfire or when ichahael looking down into sophi's open mouth remarked to the fireplace
She's got to all her teeth
She's not the which of the stis she
I wouldn't have leher come in
If she was the fireplace recorted
Michael shrugged and picked sofice stick politely up again
Then he put a log on a fire with equal politness and went to wait a bed
Somewhere overhead
