"So, for now, you want me to train with the young kids. Right?" Julia asks.
I nod my head and say, "Yes. They have been training for a couple of months now and with the basics that I would guess you know it would be the perfect way to get you up to the right skill level to do some more intense training. Plus, it will be like training your patience too. These kids can really test it most days. They aren't too bad with me since I am the Luna but when I am not paying attention the will get up to almost anything. So, if you are ready to begin then I can start you when their class starts in about 15 minutes."
"Alright, I will wait over here until then I guess." She says a little half heartedly.
Understandably, starting your training with a bunch of kids under the age of 10 cannot exactly seem fun to a grown adult. These children are wolves though so almost everything physical comes to them a lot faster naturally so there is a chance that she will struggle to ke
Elle has something planned for us. Not something that I was expecting by any means but she definitely had something planned. Today, she wants us to try and talk to the plants to find out where they want to be situated in the garden. According to her they are unhappy and if we want top results then we need to find a way to make them happy."So, where are we supposed to start? They aren't exactly sentient in the way that we are used to." I say uncertainly."How about you find the most unhappy plant and learn what it needs. It might be more simple than you think." Elle says mysteriously.What is that supposed to mean? It is difficult enough working with her most days but if she is going to be like this then I have no idea how I am going to figure this out. The plants are able to give us general ideas of what they need by giving us feelings and pictures but they cannot respond with words or answer questions. This is going to make rearranging the garden more di
It took almost all afternoon before Elle finally came up to us and told us that we could take a break for the day. In all, we moved almost a quarter of the plants to new homes. Our backs are aching, we are drenched in sweat and personally, my arms feel like rubber. But, the plants that we moved are much happier in their new homes. Maybe this will mean that they will thrive even more than they have been.The walk back to the pack house is farther away than I remember. As I make the walk, my feet feel like lead. Maybe the longer jog this morning before lessons was a bad idea. Then again, how was I supposed to know that Elle was going to expect us to do physical labor today as well? Normally training with her is all mental.If I am feeling this sore then I am sure that Julia is really feeling it. She may have just been training with the kids today but any training on a body that is not used to it is going to be extremely difficult. By tomorrow she might even decide not to
"How exactly are we supposed to do something like that? We can't just leave with the rest of the pack unprotected. I am all for taking some time off and spending it with you but doing what and where?" I query out loud."We can spend some time thinking on it for now. Maybe an opportunity will come up." He says mysteriously.Has he already planned something without telling me? Or does he just know something that is happening soon that will help me to make up my mind? I narrow my eyes as I study him. He definitely seems to be hiding something."I take it you are just going to let me wait and find out?" I say to him."I have no idea what you are talking about." He says jokingly.Well, looks like I am going to be kept in the dark until he wishes for me to know what is going on then. At least I have plenty to keep me busy until then. We both know that I definitely could use a vacation with all of the training that I have been doing lately so if som
"Why don't you come in and join us for a bit. Take a seat." Morden says to me rather sweetly.Nothing about what is going on is making any sense. I know that they are not here to be nice to me so what could they possibly want? What could make a witch and a werewolf work together? The only way to find out is to join them and see if I can get any answers.Walking closer to them, I decide to lean against one of the walls instead of actually sitting across from them. I do not exactly trust that they will not have somebody come up behind me when my back is turned."What's wrong? Don't trust us?" Morden asks."Not really. Not the greatest track record I am afraid. Plus, to put the entire pack to sleep just to get a moment alone with me is not exactly the greatest way to build trust. You should really work on that." I say sarcastically."It is rather sad that it has come down to this. I have been asking for a meeting with you for some time. This was
Morden seems absolutely furious at the fact that Julia does not wish to go with her. I do not blame Julia by any means though. From what she has said, living and training with Morden was an absolute nightmare. Not something that I would want to willingly go back to by any means."Well then, now that that is settled. I think that it is time for you to go ahead and take your leave. There is no reason for you to be here. As you can see, we are not holding her against her will. I promise that I have not brainwashed her by any means either. I know that you will choose not to believe that but it is true. So, now, please leave." I tell Morden as nicely as I can manage.The entire time that we have been talking Lovette has not piped in about anything. I have no idea how she feels about this entire situation. Still, she continues to just sit there and watch our back and forth battle instead of joining in. Is something going on here that I do not know for sure?"Tha
"So, what happened? I know that I did not sleep through my alarm that easily." Dante says as he walks down the stairs."Um, Morden happened." I say a little guiltily.I know that i have not learned anything about spells that could cause an entire pack to sleep that way but I still feel like I should have been able to stop her. I should have known that something was wrong. I just should have done something other than walk right into her trap."What do you mean, Morden happened? What does she have to do with me sleeping like that?" He asks confused."The entire pack did actually. She cast a spell over the whole pack making everyone sleep like the dead until she could talk to Laina. I still do not know what she had hoped to accomplish besides being a nuisance but she was here in this house. She had a younger wolf with her too. Laina, who was she?" Elle says turning to me.Dante turns and looks at me curiously too so I clear my throat and answer,
Julia and I are on our way to practice after breakfast. I cannot help but notice that it seems like Julia is just bursting to say something or ask something. I smile slightly just waiting for her to finally start talking but somehow we make it a block away without her saying anything."Okay, spill, what is going on in that head of yours?" I ask her exasperatedly."Well, this guy training me, Dante said that he is a beta right?" She asks. At my nod she continues on, "So that means that if I can get him to like me then I might be able to get more of the pack to like me too right? I might be able to make some real friends?"She sounds so hopeful for friends that it saddens me. Knowing that Kevin will treat her fairly and not judge her for being a witch leaves me fairly optimistic about the outcome here. She just might find more friends after training with him for a while."Yes, you could make more friends. I know that we are technically family and cons
Since the training lesson this morning went so well for both of us, we arrive at the cottage in high spirits. That is, until we see the look on Elle's face and know that she is going to work us hard today. Thankfully, it has started to rain so I do not think that we are going to be moving the plants around today."Alright so, today showed me just how much we still need to cover. The basics you just need to practice in every day life and you will be okay. Remember to center yourself, connect with the earth and find a way to communicate with plants and animals and most things will come naturally. Today, we are going to learn how to counterract spells that other witches have cast. Now Laina, you and I went over a couple but we did not go over the types of spells that are cast from afar. We only went over the transfiguration types. There are some that can be cast using runes, words, potions or a mixture of all. Not all spells can be counterracted the same way with the most diffic
