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

"So, when you look at the spell that I put onto the plant to change its color how do you think you would change it back?" Elle asks me."Um, maybe I would try to convince it to change back?" I suggest."You could. But, then it would just be laying one spell on top of another. That will work but only temporarily and could leave the plant feeling confused. Try again." She says."Maybe I could remind it of the color that it actually is?" I say questioningly."Yes but how would go about doing so? Would you tell it everything was a lie or would you go back to the beginning?" She says.I think about it for a while before answering, "I would go all of the way back to the beginning of its creation. I would remind it of what it actually is and what it looks like. That way it does not have time to second guess the way it is really supposed to be."That was a bit more difficult to explain than I thought. Not completely sure that I explained it ri

For the next couple of weeks we settle into a routine. When we wake up I start breakfast using only magic to cook it. Now that I have been practicing for quite a while I find myself trying to make it better each day so that it is not as boring. For the first half of the day we work on me undoing Elle's spells and learning how to cast the same spells.After we eat the salad that I prepare for lunch we begin working on potions. I learn how to gather and store ingredients. Elle has me prepare some potions that have a specific process to be followed as they are highly volatile.For dinner every night we have another meal that is minus meat. It varies each night but the one thing that never changes is the lack of meat. Pretty soon I might find myself hunting in wolf form just so that I can eat something higher in protein. I have somehow avoided asking why we never eat meat so far but I am not sure how much more of it I can take.As we eat a pasta dinner with al

Today is the day. For the first time since I came to start my training a couple of weeks ago I am going to get some meat to eat. I have been dreaming about eating meat almost all night. The fact that I have made it this long without attacking something is impressive if I do say so myself.Dante just chuckles every time I tell him of my meals again. I always ate my fruits and vegetables before and I was fairly careful of how I ate but I have never went this long without eating meat before. Just the thought of how long it has been makes me cringe. The only thing that has kept me going is the feeling that the plants give me when they offer up some food for us to eat.When I finally let myself climb out of bed I get dressed and head out to make our breakfast. I know that I get to hunt today but hunting on an empty stomach makes for sloppy mistakes so it will most likely be for either lunch or dinner instead. I have not had a good run in my wolf form since I got here.

After an uncomfortably long silence of me staring at Elle in complete shock, I finally manage to snap myself out of it. That admission was beyond unexpected. I had never thought that I would get that much out of her and especially not that quickly."I didn't mean what I said like that. It kind of just slipped out." I admit to her."That is because you have been thinking it for quite a while now. I knew that you felt that way about me but I have no idea how to change your mind about it because I understand how you got that idea. I have never been there. I never tried that hard to find you or to protect you until it was too late. I know that it is hard to believe me now but I will continue to try my hardest to protect you and your family from now on. In fact, if you will allow me, I will go back to your pack with you when you leave to continue your training and help you protect them. If you will allow me to then I will stay with you until the threat of the other witches

In a flash, I am on top of the one that I had picked out and the rest are running as soon as they notice the danger. She is a fighter and keeps trying to get away but I am not letting my meal go. This was almost too easy but there are no complaints.I barely manage to resist taking a bite before I begin to drag her back to the cottage. Elle was insistent that I bring back anything that I catch for her to check over before I actually consume it. She is paranoid that I will be poisoned again and this time there will be nobody to notice for a while if I need help since witches do not have the ability to mind like each other.It only took me a few minutes to make my way to the herd of deer when I was being fueled on by my hunger. Dragging the dead deer back is making it take much longer though. I would love to use my powers to make this go a little easier for me. Wait, on that note, I could always cause a small breeze to help me move her all of the way back to the co

My shower helped to calm the nerves after my latest run in with the witches. They should not have known where I was or that it was even me with the glamour on me. How were they able to find me so easily? After I get dressed I head back out to see what Elle thinks of all of this. She has to know that something about what happened.When I walk back outside I can see her looking over the deer carcass still. I had not expected her to spend this long looking at it. Maybe she found something?"I do not want you to eat this deer." She says simply.My mouth is still watering at the thought of eating meat so I just reply dumbfounded with a, "Huh?""This deer. I do not think that you should eat it. In fact, I do not think that you should eat anything out of these woods nearby. They are all meant for you. I cannot tell what they are supposed to do but I do know that they are all some type of a trap for you. Luckily, you did not take a bite out of it when you c

Learning how to create something new from the earth is quite exhausting. When the price is not very high then it mostly just takes from energy reserves. The witch's energy reserves. So, after practicing for a couple of hours, I am exhausted. I have no idea how I am supposed to do much else tonight.Elle does not say much to me besides her instructions. She seems to be just as worried as I am about the other witches closing in on us. I know that she would not be training me as hard if it were not for all of the threats that we have been facing recently. As it is, I feel like she is trying to fit years of training into just a couple of weeks. Not sure how much I can learn but I am determined to keep trying.The thought of seeing Dante soon is distracting. I can't stop thinking about how it feels to sleep next to him, just to have him touch me, hug me and hold me. Up until now I have been avoiding dwelling on the sensation of missing him too much but now it seems to be al

It is finally time for us to head back to the pack. This week has drug on and on. It has been a real struggle focusing on anything that I am supposed to be learning but that should be much easier after today.We are going to meet Dante and a few others from the pack right down the river from my childhood home. From there we will travel with them the rest of the way back to the pack house. I am finally going to go home again.I am a little worried about Elle being in my pack though. I know that she is only going to be there for protection and training purposes but it is something that has not been done for hundreds of years. At one point in the distant past witches would sometimes live with wolves to offer their protection and healing powers. It has been a long time since that has happened but maybe it is something that we could bring back again.We are leaving when it is still dark outside so that we can meet the guys at first light. The witches will
