At dinner after we get done with our joint practice Dante seems as if he is torn between gloating and feeling sorry for me. I am a little smug at how practice went but I do not want Dante knowing that I am happy with anything. Little does he know but we played them during practice. We have went through the course way too many times for us to be doing that bad at it still.
"You know, if you do not want to do the competition tomorrow we don't have to. Or we could switch up teams so I can have some women mixed in with some of the men and vice versa." He offers trying to placate me.
"No, that is alright. We have worked hard to get to where we are and I do not want to abandon the women now. They have shown real improvement the last couple of days so I am sure that we can hold our own. Or have fun in any case." I tell him.
He scoffs slightly and shakes his head. "If you insist then go ahead. I don't want you to be too upset if things do not go as well as you think the

This is it! The big morning! Today is the day of the competition. I am ecstatic! I send a short pep talk to all of my girls and get up to get ready. After last night I feel energized and ready to go. Checking the clock, I still have time to go for a jog before the competition starts so I throw on a pair of gym shorts and a crop top and head outside.I have not jogged through the neighborhood much so this might be a chance to see places that I have not seen before. As I stretch my legs, Dante comes up beside me covered in sweat. It looks like he got a head start on his run."You must have had the same idea as me. Care to join me on my run?" Dante asks me."Sure, I woke up wanting to run. Figured that there is plenty of time before the competition starts." I tell him."Yeah there is. Are you sure that you do not want to mix up the teams at all? It might be fun." Dante offers."Naw, I am good. Let's just get going shall we?" I ask him raising an

"Alright now, I know what the men think of us since they have all been training for years but I want to tell you all that I have faith in you. It might not matter if we win or not but I know that we can at least put up a fight. Then, if we do this again next year, we will be able to kick their butts. If we can hold our own today after only a couple of months of training then in a year we will be unstoppable! Now, even though I know that we can beat them no problem, let's focus on what we need to do most. Have fun and learn from the course. Ready!" I shout to my teammates. "Ready!" They all shout sounding more confident than I have seen them since we started training. We walk over to where the guys are waiting for us. Both teams have all of their names in a bowl and are going to be drawn at random. The only names not in the bowl are mine and Dante's. We are going to go last after we get done cheering on our teams. Standing in front of the other tea

"How were you able to do that!" Dante says rushing up to me. He picks me up and swings me around laughing."Um, shouldn't you be upset that I kicked your butt?" I ask him confused."I would be if it hadn't been in such spectacular fashion. That was amazing! I have never seen anyone or anything move that fast. You have been holding out on me." He says amazed.Looking back at the rest of the pack members that are gathered I can tell that they are all in just as much shock as Dante is. Some of the women find it difficult to even look at me. I had not realized just how fast I had run the course. Must have been pretty impressive if they are all still staring at me."Why is everyone looking at me? All that I did was kick your butt again. Not for the first time I might add." I say jokingly."Maybe it is because going that fast shouldn't even be possible. The course could not even try to knock you off because you moved so fast that it could not register th

As the witches finally walk out of the tree line my eyes are instantly drawn to the figure in front. This has to be Morden. The one that gave the order to kill my parents and displaced my grandmother. I might have never met my grandmother but considering the things that I have heard about Morden, I have nothing but ill will towards her.She is beautiful but definitely has the witchy look down. Where my hair is a bright, wild red, hers is a deep black. Her eyes are dark enough that from this distance I cannot tell whether they are still brown or if they are in fact black. Her skin is pale and she has her lips painted black. Overall, she looks like the stereotypical witch that you might see in movies. She is just way more beautiful than I had ever expected. I think that I expected her looks to match her personality. She is nowhere near that hideous though.As she nears my pack she gives me a disarming smile. If I did not know that she wants me dead then I would thi

Morden looks at me like she thinks she has me all figured out. What she does not know is that I see right through her. There is no way that I could believe the lies that she is spewing when I know my own past. I know what happened and who caused all of my problems and she is standing before me trying to get me to believe that she had nothing to do with it."If what you say is true then I am sure that you would gladly grant me permission to think on it for a while before making a decision this dramatic. I am just beginning to get used to living here with my family and not being alone. I am not ready to make any decisions about learning to be a witch. You owe me enough to allow me some time to adjust to the idea of being both witch and werewolf. After that maybe we can set something up to help both of us. I Will Not leave my family but I might be willing to accomodate some of your wishes if you will just leave the innocents here alone." I say to her forcefully."I

Watching the pack celebrate our small victory has me feeling happier and freeier than I have for a while. I still do not think that this is over. There is this lingering feeling in the air making me think that they will just come back worse as Morden had warned. Today is just a precursor to whatever she really has planned."I hear that you scared them into leaving?" Amora says from beside me."I guess that I did. Something about it does not feel right though. More like they were just here to mess with me or feel me out before they plan their real attack." I say to her thoughtfully."Considering I have never known a witch to back down without a fight, I would assume that that is a fair point. I am sure that they will be back. This time, you will be even more ready than you were today though. You will shock them even more." She tells me."How? I do not have a teacher for my witch powers. Sure I can keep training my body but that is not how the witches

Having fallen asleep on the couch has left a terrible crick in my neck the next morning. Stretching, I notice that Dante has already gotten up for the day. I wonder what could have gotten him out of bed before day fully breaks. He used to always get up before me but lately he has been getting up at around the same time as me.I take a hurried shower and then head downstairs after I get dressed. Dante is in his office so I do not wish to disturb him if it is something important enough to wake him early. Instead, I grab a quick breakfast and then do some yoga."Sweetheart, when you are not busy can you come meet me?" Dante asks through mind link."Yeah, is everything okay?" I ask hesitantly."Yes it is. For now at least. I will fill you in when you come to the office." Dante answers.What could all of that be about? Is there something else going on since last night that we do not know about? Do we need to change our plans yet again? Reali

I stayed with Dante and spent the entire morning and lunch time with him but now it is time for me to try to find my grandmother. I have a feeling that I know how to I just have to really open myself up and focus.I head into the forest and find a place next to a rose bush to sit down and relax. Reaching out with my senses, I release a breath and focus on my task. Of finding my grandmother and a way to get to her. As my senses expand and I begin to drink in the nature around me I let my intentions of finding my grandmother be known.Without me realizing the rose bush reaches up to my finger and a thorn breaks the skin. As a drop of blood falls to the ground I feel it beginning to run in all directions. Much farther than a single drop of blood should be able to travel.The undergrowth lights up and begins to grow and thrive as my blood starts searching for that of my grandmother. It travels
