Azalea I had a hard time the rest of the day. I was very unsettled and couldn't sit for long. I barely ate dinner and I was worrying Logan. After dinner he drew a bath and we sat there in the hot water as he tried to massage away my panic. His distraction worked and for a few hours after I slept. Until the nightmares hit again. This time I didn't recognize the place and only some of the people. I saw enforcers that I only recognized because of their uniform fighting and I saw fire. I watched in horror as Charlotte was blasted into a group of enforcers, all of them tumbling down like pins. Then I watched as Rich ran over and scooped her up before hding behind a desk. Other enforcers were coming into the room and lots of shifters spilling into the room trying to avoid being struck. I saw him hand Charlotte's body to one of the enforcers who managed to get out of the room before the whole room blew up. I woke drenched in sweat and screaming. Logan jerked up beside me and I
Azalea I slept well for a few hours until I felt a pull. I woke up and threw on a night gown. I looked over to make sure that Logan was still asleep before slipping out of our room. I let my feet lead me out the back door and through the garden into the forest. I thought momentarily that it was strange that I didn't see any enforcers around but still I continued. I needed to go though I didn't know where. I walked for a while through the woods until I came to a small clearing covered in moon flowers and bathed in moon light. The cleared glowed in a way that should have been eerie but instead felt soothing. I sat down in the middle of the clearing the fragrant smell of moon flowers surrounding me. I could almost feel a charge in the air that called out to my power and I sighed feeling relaxed. I heard a noise in front of me and watched a woman step out into the clearing with me. She was the most beautiful person I had ever seen and I stared in awe as she came closer to me
Azalea So far it looks like they all believed me. I hated lying to them but I knew what would happen if I told them the truth. I went upstairs and retrieved the empty book that Hortencia had given me. I sat in the garden for an hour writing down the potions that were now fully formed in my head. They were altered versions of the witch's potions and I knew exactly what each would do. Then I started my story. Just in case something happened I wanted them to know why. I gave an abridged version of what got me to this point in time and laid out what I needed to do in the new few weeks because I knew that after Cassie's mating ceremony I had to go. I took the book with me to Hortencia's. Her eyes were sad when she answered the door and I knew that she knew the time was near. She made my shadows wait outside so we could talk. After handing me a cup of tea, that's eactly what happened. I told a shortened version of what the moon goddess showed me. I showed her some of the spell
Azalea Once we were out in the garden I noticed that there was already a patch of soil prepared for our seeds. I introduced the girls to Hortencia, who asked Celia some random questions about her coven and lineage while holding her hand. Then she told her she still had some gifts that were untapped and that she could help her one day while she was here. Celia smiled and agreed . Then she had the girls help us. Celia made a growth potion to which I added my blood. I also filled a few vials with my blood that I handed over to Hortencia. She had Cora make little signs to stick in the dirt so we would know which was which while I dug holes and planted each seed. Once the potion was ready and the seeds planted I poured the potion on top of each one and began to sing. By the time I was done, each seed was now a blooming plant. The girls watched in awe, not actually having seen the full extend of my powers at work before. We stayed there chatting for just a little bit before we
Azalea We were late to breakfast but fashionably so. Everyone else had just sat down and when we walked into the dinning room we looked at each other and said together "It's his/her fault!" Everyone laughed including us as we took our seats. Breakfast was a light affair as we all knew there would be a full meal later this afternoon. After breakfast we broke off girls and boys so we could go get ready. Meli had several ladies coming over to give us mani pedi s and then later to do our make up and hair. I made sure to snap more pictures and had arranged previously with the twins to take some of their "guy bonding time" to add to my scrap book this afternoon. Meli was in and out with us as she was following up with the cutting and arranging of the flowers. She brought in some of the cut flowers for them to pin in her hair. She had arranged for a light lunch as well and as we ate we cracked jokes and laughed like we had done when we were in school together. We toasted to Cass
Azalea Once I was sure I didn't look a mess after crying Logan and I made our way around to the tables and the groups around to visit and chat with everyone. Of course there were lots of questions in regards to the Luna Ceremony and our mating ceremony both of which were sore subjects for me. Logan handled them well thankfully. Eventually the girls dragged me and Cassie over to the dance floor and we had fun. There were a lot of kids here and we danced with a whole crowd of them. The twins joined us at some point acting silly on the dance floor. I snapped more photos to take with me. When a slow song came on Logan came over and took me in his arms. I had already asked the wolf DJ ing if he could play several tonight so I could dance with Logan and keep the memory of him in my arms with me. He pulled me close and I laid my head on his chest listening to his heart beat. He whispered "Are you ok? You seem sad?" I nodded that I was ok and locked down my feelings. I had be
Azalea The other side was pretty much exactly what I was expecting. We were on the edge of a very vibrant forest that was opening into a field of some sort. A few of the plants I recognized - they were the ones I had just grown and harvested this past few weeks. Others I had no idea. It was mid day I would guess by how bright it was here. “Keep an eye out for anything that might be able to speak or that might attack us,” I told them as we moved along quickly. We stuck to the edge of the forest in hopes that I would be able to spot another portal and we could pop back out on Earth. We walked for what felt like hours before we came upon a small pond and a little blue haired girl. She was sitting on the ground crying and I couldn’t resist. “Stay close,” I told the twins as I let go of their hands to see about comforting the child. “Hey. Are you ok?” I said as I squatted down next to her. She lifted her tear streaked face and said “No. Who are you?” I laughed a little and pulled out
Azalea They both sat there with almost shocked looks on their faces for a whole minute. “Of course we know Charlotte and I had heard rumors that Titus went Earth side but that is a lot to take in. Charlotte was last in your High Council I believe and wow... after all this time Titus has taken a mate,” Dan said smiling softly. “Well Charlotte was at the High Council until it was attacked. She was sent back here to the fae lands to heal. A couple of weeks ago. There’s a war starting well I guess it’s been started for years but it’s really picked up momentum since... well since I started training and word leaked out about the first true trybrid. It’s kinda a long story are you sure you want to hear it all?” I asked taking off my back pack to get more comfortable. I nodded to the twins to do the same and they did before sitting back. “I told you we have the time. Tell us everything,” He said smiling. And so I did. I told him the abridged version- essentially going to school, finding
