2022-03-18 17:41:06If 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.
Please leave some gems if you are liking the story so far. They are much appreciated.

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

I know that Rosa had expected that I was going to be an extremely strong witch but hearing Elle say it was more surprising. Is she going to expect something from me the same way that Morden and even Rosa seemed to?I manage to find some leggings that aren't as comfortable as my normal leggings and throw one of the lighter dresses over it so that I can feel comfortable jogging in it. Walking out into the main area I see Elle still sitting at the dining table seeming to be deep in thought."Is it alright if I go for a jog? I know that you are in hiding here so I do not want to ruin it but that is the best exercise I can get here without any equipment." I ask her hesitantly."Sure, sure. I will glamour you to not look like you and you should be fine. Please make sure that you fly down the mountain first and stay away from your old cottage. That way even if someone sees you they have no idea where you are staying." She tells me.I just nod m

When Elle had warned me that she was going to be tough on me she was not kidding. As soon as I woke up she had me learning how to make breakfast using the elements. Some of it was simple, like getting water into the bowl. Other ones were much trickier. I was not to touch the spoon to stir the oatmeal and had to use wind to stir it instead. Seems much easier said than done because it took me forever to be able to get the spoon to stir the oatmeal enough. It took me almost an hour just to make oatmeal without all of the additives that she had used yesterday. I swear I even saw a twinkle of humor in her eyes at one point.After we got done eating she did take pity on me and let me use my hands to wash the dishes as long as I warmed the water up with fire. Fire is not something that I have ever attempted to summon before. Just the thought of not having control of the flame is terrifying to me. Elle informs me that that is normal but it is something that I will have to overcome if

Now that I know what to expect at breakfast I do not take my time trying to figure out how to make the oatmeal. My only issue is still the stirring but the rest of the preparations went together so quickly that it did not bother me that it took quite a bit longer to stir. Maybe tomorrow I will feel confident enough to try to cut up some fruit using air to add it to the oatmeal.Elle just sits silently while I prepare both of our bowls of oatmeal. I am not sure if she approves of how long it takes me to get it all done but she has not been critiquing me the entire time so I would assume that I had not done too badly."I must admit that you are catching on rather quickly. I did not expect you to get breakfast done so fast today. Next, we will go outside and tend to the plants. You will practice connecting to the earth to coax life into the plants and utilizing air to trim off any pieces that are not healthy. This will be difficult but since you can coax life back into th

The first week of training just flies by. By the end of the week I have already come close to mastering my elements. Even though Elle has not said anything else on the matter I believe that she is surprised how much I have already learned. I have not been for a jog since the mishap with the witches but Elle has helped me learn how to shadow box with a figure made from air to keep myself in shape. I can even have the air push against me as I exercise the way weights would so I am not losing any of the muscle that I had gained while staying with my pack.Today we are going to start working on spells. Elle has also promised to start teaching me how to find spells and disable them before I learn how to do the spells. Apparently, learning how to disable them makes learning how to do them easier. Kind of like untying a knot."Are you ready to move past the basics?" Elle asks me."I thought that some of the elemental work was beyond the basic?" I say confus

"Wait, you can do that?" Frank asks shocked. "Yes, of course I can. It is not something that I have done often, actually only one other time but it is an option. It is one that terrifies her." I admit. "Who did you do it to before?" Rand asks me. "I did it to Morden. There was no other way to stop her from coming after my pack or my family." I answer simply. "Your grandmother said that Simonetta was behind that the entire time. That only makes it right that she gets the same punishment if not worse than what Morden received." Rand points out. I had not thought of it that way but it is true. Still, we need to have a system set up for something like this. Otherwise, there will always be somebody that takes advantage of the power and that is not something that I can condone. "That is very true. I had not thought of that but this is not a decision to be made lightly. There might be longer reaching consequences that even I am not aware of by using this ability. Still, I see no other o

It did not take long at all for the Hybrid Council to arrive. They all file in looking a little shocked to see Simonetta there, unable to use her magic as she floats slightly in the air. Quickly, they find their seats. Then, both Rand and Frank walk in as well. I had not thought of inviting them but I am glad that Dante did. With how long she terrorized their pack it is only fitting that they are here for this as well.I smile at them all as they whisper among themselves for a few moments. This is a bit of a shock for those that were not here to see Simonetta arrive. For Frank and Rand, they finally see their enemy tied up and floating in the air. They are not aware that I can take away her ability to use magic so this is going to be a shock to them when the meeting starts. "I take it you called us all here for a reason?" Elle says once everyone starts to calm down."Yes, I did. As everybody here knows, Simonetta has caused quite a few problems for us. She has terrorized werewolves,

Simonetta rushes towards me using wind to guide her speed. It is not enough to throw me off guard though and I shove a wall of dirt up in front of me. She almost crashes into it before she is able to skid to a stop at the last second. If she had prepared then she might have been able to use the air that was helping her speed up to me to jump over the wall but instead, she is used to using her other powers for combat and did not make the decision in time.As soon as she begins to stop, I tear down the wall and shift into werewolf form quickly to land on top of her with my teeth to her neck. Out of all of the forms that I could have turned into this was the only one that registered as an option. I would like for her to see the one thing that she thinks is beneath her be the thing that brings her down. For once, she surprises me when she throws me off of her with some air. I quickly flip over and land on my paws. I shift back and face her again. She is breathing hard and I find myself a

As soon as my illsuion drops I see Simonetta's face blanche. Chelsea drops to the ground and has it swallow her up as she falls through it to meet the others. I send her a brief thank you as she helps to keep them all safe from whatever back up plan Simonetta could have.She sends me a sad farewell. Apparently she is worried about whether or not I am going to make it out of this one. I might not have used much magic recently but I guarantee that there is no way I will let her get away with this threat. Today, she is going to go down and she is not going to be a threat to anybody with werewolf blood ever again."Wait, you had the baby? No! You can't have had it already!" She screams in rage."Actually, I can. There was nothing stopping me from having it. There is also nothing in the way of me putting a stop to you and your bullying once and for all" I say. She takes a few steps back as she steels herself for what we bothk now is going to happen next. It is a shame that the rest of the

"Why would she ever want to go with you?" I ask Simonetta in shock."I am sure that she can see the benefits when she realizes that if she doesn't then she will never get to meet the bundle of joy in your stomach. I will personally make sure that you are unable to deliever them. After all, the more powerful the babes the less the mother can use magic so I am sure that you are not able to defend yourself very well." Simonetta says triumphantly.I try my best to look worried. I really do. I find that it is difficult to be worried about her though. She has never really had a lot of sway over me. Even when I first realized how much stronger than her I am I had found it difficult to be scared of her. "You really think that I am afraid of you? Even without being able to use my powers you do not worry me. I have plenty of other witches that are able to come and help me." I say."Not before something bad happens to you. Chelsea, I would hate to see for anything bad to happen to Laina. I just

Each team splits up and gets ready to make their way through the obstacle course. They are all going to have to take turns trying to make it through safely. Each team has a designated amount of time before they get elminated. The one that makes it through the fastest and with the least amount of mistakes, will be the ones to win the competition. The course is very similar to the one that we did with the entire pack when we first started training. The one that really got the women moving faster as they fought to make good time through the course to beat the men. This one is just a little more geared towards children and not fully grown adults.Some of the obstacles are smaller to better accomodate their size, some things are closer together and they have even added some new obstacles that would have been difficult for the adults. There are also some obstacles that are going to require teamwork to make it through. If they do not work together then they have no hope of making it to the

It takes much longer than planned to get the babies ready for travel. I have never packed a diaper bag before but luckily Scarlett shows up to help me get them ready and squeal over the twins for a minute. Or more precisely, several minutes."I can't believe that they are finally here! I swear it felt like your pregnancy was never going to end. Every time that I thought you were going into labor and you never did. Yesterday, I had no idea that you were going into labor. How did you keep that from me?!" She says to me."It was not exactly on purpose. I did not even know that I was in labor until I spoke to Dante and then Elle confirmed it. It was a really odd day. We had a lot that happened that day so I thought that everything I was feeling was just from stress." I admit to her."Ha! For once, I could have answered that if you had just talked to me. Instead, you have me doing made up jobs with you to help me out." She says excitedly.I shake my head as she begins showing me exactly h

The first night with the babies was quite a bit of a learning curve. Whenever we put them in their bassinets they just started to cry nonstop until we picked them up again. It took a couple of hours to find out that if we put them into the same bassinet they were able to sleep peacefully and not wake us up. By the time we managed learning that, I was beyond exhausted and ready to sleep. Thankfully, there was more than enough people in the house to help us out throughout the night.When I wake up I find that Dante is already standing over their bassinet watching them sleep. They have managed a few hours of sleep straight which for me was quite shocking considering that they are newborns. "How are they?" I ask him sleepily.Chelsea decided to sleep on one of the loveseats last night as well. She was just too excited to go to sleep in her bedroom after I had the babies. I do not blame her but as she shifts when I start talking I do realize that that might have been a mistake. She is goi

Chelsea comes running in once the babies start to cry for food. Her face is filled with excitement as she rushes over to me. Even though they are hungry, I allow her to hold and rock Caterine while I first feed Archer. I might get good enough to be able to feed them both at once in the future but for now feeding just one is tricky. I never knew that it could be this hard to feed a baby."Hi Caterine, I am your Aunt Chelsea. We are going to be best friends. You are going to get to go to school with werewolf pups and use magic. It is going to be wonderful. I can't wait to teach you everything that I know." Chelsea coos to the baby making all of us smile.It is a good thing that she already has so much experience being around babies because she does a great job holding Caterine while Archer is feeding. She does sit down though as she looks at her. Even though Caterine was crying just a moment ago from hunger, she is now looking at Chelsea with wide eyes. Werewolf pups have much better ey
