ChanceI looked over at my passenger, still worried but glad I was approaching Miner’s Canyon. I had told her that it wasn’t a big deal, but I lied. She scared the shit out of us. She looked so different than she had yesterday and it was the craziest thing to see someone who was so vibrant and feisty and full of life look like... well death less than 24 hours later. Her skin was now very pasty and the circles under her eyes made it look like someone had blacked out both her eyes. There was still some dried blood around her jaw from her ears.I shivered as I remembered seeing her on the floor covered in blood pain clearly written across her face. And to be told that she does this twice a month and has for over a year. I can’t imagine the amount of pain both her and Logan are in to take this group out.Steve said him and Lucas are waiting right out front for you my dad linked to me.Ok great thanks I replied.Also Rich called. I spoke to him for a bit - about all of this and about the p
AzaleaAfter dream walking with Logan I had just enough time to reach out to Dan. I found him in a memory of his father and watched for a few minutes before making myself known. Dan was excited to see me and I explained to him what I was going to do the next night. I explained to him where I was opening the portal at and requested that he burn the list of herbs I gave him in front of the area where I would open the portal. The herbs would act as a guide and an aide for me. He told me he would be waiting there for me and that he was excited to see me open one. A new portal hadn’t been opened since his father’s day.The next day I send Lucas to Chance’s pack to begin training them using the information the twins got us as well as his own training. I let all the fae know that at midnight we would be meeting by the woods to open the portal. Steve and I spoke with Rich and updated him on the plan once the portal was opened. He told me that he got all of the council members that were left t
Lucas I carried a passed out Azalea into the room where the other fae were resting in recliners and on a sofa. I placed her gently on the bed that was in the room. The other fae looked tired and pale, but they were all awake. Rich and Don had followed me and were talking quietly. Abe had gone off to get someone to get food to the fae. I turned to Don and asked if he had somewhere outside where they had vegetation that they didn’t want - maybe they had somewhere where they wanted to clear the land to build something. Rich realized what I was talking about and explained to Don that the quickest way for the fae and Azalea to recharge was to be in nature, but with being this drained they would most likely take from the earth and plants themselves. After a minute or two of thought Don knew of an area that they could use. He said that he would take us there after the fae ate. Rich shooed Don away to go be with his family while the two of us handled this. Then he came over and officially in
AzaleaWhile we were away Steve made the arrangements for the other council members to come visit later in the week. I spent most of the next day asleep but on the second day I was up and ready to go. Charlotte and Mrs. Morris, who would be interim witch council member, would be the first to come visit followed by Elder Chris from the bear shifters and Elder Sarah from the feline shifters a few days later, the later two who were each bringing with them their top alpha. Rich would be going back and forth as the council members were supposed to be visiting with "me" and him at our pack. In reality he would be helping them go back and forth between the portals. Chance and Lucas showed up on the third day like I had requested. We chatted for a bit and they were both relieved to see I was pretty much back to normal. I had Lucas and Steve put on their gear and show Chance how it worked. The metal smith fae had come through the night before and brought with them additional weapons wh
Azalea9 days. And now that it was finally set, I was nervous. Were we really ready for this? Could I do this? I laid on the top of the RV looking up at the stars, letting the finality of it all wash over me. A year that passed so quickly and yet horrifically slow at the same time. Everything we’ve been doing cumulatively coming together. Tomorrow I would go to the fae lands and make sure that our people were getting sorted. The call would go out and they would begin pouring in from all over the country.Th elders would send out the call to be answered and answered it would like an echo in a cave rebounding exponentially. My front line of fae, witches and enforcers would be here in 3 days while those in the second and third lines would be in fae within the next 5 days. Chance’s team would join us on day 6 right before Arick’s team, ideally, would move in. Day 6 would also see all of the elders and the generals with me for a finally run down all together. In 6 days I would see my mate
Azalea I went straight out to my garden right as the sun was rising and began cutting the plants I needed. There was only one I needed and I knew who would have some as well as be able to help me. When I turned around to go back to the head quarters to see if she was awake, I was startled to see her behind me smiling. I smiled back and said “I should have known. You already have it don’t you? You don’t happen to have a reversal of sorts for it do you? I know it usually only lasts a few hours but I don’t want the twins knocked out for that long if they don’t have to be.” “I do and here, I’ve already prepared it,” she replied smiling as she handed me the wolfsbane and a small vial with a blue potion. I hugged her again and ran off to go wake up Steve. On the way I banged on the trailer door and said loudly to Lucas through our mind link GOOD MORNING LOVE BIRDS! I NEED YOU UP AND DRESSED. YOU HAVE A MISSION. I heard his growl and Cora’s giggle and knew that I would see them soon. Stev
Taylor I spent a few hours with my pack, double checking gear, and doing warm ups with them to make sure we stayed fresh and ready to go. I wanted to have dinner with my sister so I headed back through the portal and began looking for her. I checked the hospital, the mess hall and head quarters before going to central ops. There I saw my father and Steve watching the monitors. I asked if they had seen her and they both nodded no. “I saw her last in the woods. That was a few hours ago. You might check there though,” my father said looking at me. “Alright. I’m going to find her and then go to dinner if you guys want to join,” I replied before walking out. I headed to the forest and began searching for her scent. I frowned when I didn’t smell anything until I remembered the potion. She ws probably still taking it for precautions. I began searching for signs and trying to listen hard for her breathing. Finally I picked up another heartbeat and followed it to my sister. She was asleep cra
Azalea I came back my arms laden with snacks and drinks and we sat around quietly munching. Steve and my father were keeping an eye on Arick’s camp trying to keep an estimate of people still coming in. They were already up to 7000. Suddenly the door busted open and there in the doorway stood my twin protectors, my friends, my brothers. I jumped up and rushed over to them wrapping an arm around each of them, the others on my heels. They sandwiched me in a hug squeezing the breath out of me for a minute before letting me go to greet the others. Behind them was Corsica and Stanley and I greeted them as well. We all squeezed in the small area while they gave an update. The twins had escorted the fae to their pack lands and had a quick visit with their family before returning. I was glad they were back and I told them that we had extra beds in the head quarters. Once Steve updated everyone on the numbers -8000 people now - we decided to call it a night. Tomorrow was the big day. I actua
