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

Even though I have not left yet I am already beginning to feel homesick. 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

I had not planned on how hard it would be for me to leave Dante and the rest of the pack. It feels as if I am tearing my heart in half and leaving it with them. I am unable to say goodbye to anybody else so after I walk out of the door I just transform into a bright red eagle and take to the skies.It has been a while since I have been flying. Even with my heart breaking I can appreciate the freedom from being in the air. Feeling weightless and free helps my perception open up a bit. I can think a little clearer from up here than I could before. I am doing the right thing. I just have to hope that I can make it there before night fall so that I do not have to sleep in a tree. My bright red color is a dead giveaway that I am not really an eagle.The witches might now know of my ability to take on other forms so I find myself flying higher than I normally would. Maybe they found a way to break Rosa and she told them everything but somehow I feel like they would hav

If there is no wind then there has to be something that is blocking it. Could it really be a coincidence that it is right where my grandmother's cottage is supposed to be? I do not believe in coincidences so she must know a way to hide her cottage from sight. How am I supposed to get in then? Landing gently on the ground in my cardinal form I reach out with my senses. With this small of a body and the even smaller points on my feet that are touching the ground I cannot get a good connection to the earth. The best way would be if I were to transform into my human self. Is that risky though? I do not know for sure if my grandmother is in there or not or even if she is alone. Morden could be in there right now looking for me so if I transform here it could blow my entire cover. Instead, I take off and fly back into the trees a little ways. Then I land again but this time I turn back into myself. When my feet hit the ground I can finally connect with mother nature again.

Standing before me is a stunning woman with long red hair. She has the brightest blue eyes I have ever seen. Also, she looks like she could be an older sister. Not sure why I expected her to look so much older when Morden did not but I had still expected it for some reason. There is a tiredness lining her eyes. Her skin is rather pale which implies that she has either not been outside much recently, or she has highly sensitive skin. When I look at her I can see a lot of similar features between the two of us. Apparently I took after her in looks more than either of my parents. After a few moments of us just staring at each other I finally say, "Hi Elle, I am your granddaughter. I was hoping that I could come in for a bit." She does not answer me but just steps back to allow me through. The cottage is neat but cluttered. There are plants everywhere the eye can see. It looks like she is drying out some herbs for potions in one corner, canning stuff somewhere el

True to her word, when we finished our tea she was ready to start. I considered dragging out drinking my tea because I am a little nervous about showing her my memory but that would only delay the inevitable. So, after a thoughtfully quiet cup of tea it is finally time for us to begin.She reaches her hands across the table and grasps mine. Her hands are warmer than I had expected and amazingly soft. After a few deep breaths she says to me, "Alright, open up your mind the way that you do when you are trying to connect to nature. Once you feel your awareness opening up, push it towards me. I will then open up as well and we will merge our thoughts and feelings together."Sounds simple enough. I should not have a problem doing this. As I slowly relax and let my awareness slip out I find that it is more difficult that I expected for it to reach out to my grandmother. Maybe it is because I am still so defensive when it comes to her but as soon as I get close I can fe

"If you are going to stay here I expect you to work hard at learning the craft. You will not sit here idly just waiting for the witches to attack." Elle tells me. "You will call me Elle and not grandmother. If somebody were to stumble on us somehow I do not want them to know about our connection.""Um, that might be a little difficult to hide. We do look a lot a like you know." I point out.She just waves away the thought and walks me across the cottage to one of the doors. When she opens the door I see a room that looks like a wolf sanctuary. There are fluffy rugs sitting all over the room, a huge bed that looks like you could sink into it. There is a window on the roof that will show the night sky.I take a peak at her after I look around the room. She does not let anything slip on her face but the bedroom was obviously styled for a werewolf. For me. When did she do this and how long ago did she have it done? It is clean enough that it could not ha

Being able to sleep under the stars was amazing. I got used to sleeping under them when I was living on my own and had not realized how much I missed it. Waking up and seeing the sunrise through the window above me was just as amazing as sleeping under the stars. The amount of thought that went into this room has me taken aback. Maybe she knows me better than I realized she had all of these years. Maybe this is her showing that she actually cares about me since she comes off as so cold all of the time.Elle is already awake and making some oatmeal and coffee for breakfast. It has been a while since I have had oatmeal since Dante always makes a more elaborate meal but it sounds pretty good today. In fact, when she sits it in front of me I find myself practically inhaling it. There are little bits of fruit and honey mixed into it making it absolutely incredible.Elle watches me eating in shock at the way I eat the food. She has probably not had to feed many hungry
