The lost hybrid 199
As I unfurl the short message that I received back, I can feel my eyes start to fill with tears. I did not realize just how much I was counting on their reply until it was in front of me. There are only two sentences on the paper. They read:I know where you are, we are preparing. Should arrive in a week, be ready.One week. Just one week and I might be getting out of here. I will have to start getting stuff ready for a battle when it comes time to leave. I might not have anything to pack but I could always make some weapons and hide them down below for when it is time for us to fight our way out of here.Heading back down with a purpose, I am slightly dismayed to see that Morden took the opportunity to partially collapse my mock bedroom while she was here. I made one closer to the stairs so that she would not think to look further down. She fell for it which makes me smile even more as I clear it up before heading down to my real living room.I call forth some stronger sticks that I

After Rosa leaves, nobody else stops to visit for a few days. In fact, I am beginning to wonder if anybody is going to come and see me before Elle gets here. That is too easy of course, and Morden comes to see me before long."I see that you are getting further with your little hovel of a house. Planning to stay for a while I take it?" She asks me snidely."Just figured that as long as I am here I might as well be comfortable. You seem to be rather content to just leave me in here. If I am going to be here I will relax while I can. I am sure you agree that running a group of people can be rather exhausting. At least, I do not expect that running a coven is any easier than running a pack of wolves. Maybe not quite as rambunctious but still not easy." I say conversationally."If you keep talking to me this way I will begin to think that you are getting lonely. Do I need to send someone here to talk to you each day?" She says with mock sincerity."Nah, that's alright. You do not seem to

That night, I did in fact dream of the Moon Goddess once again. I am in the woods this time, standing in the middle of a clearing. All around me are wildflowers and a few large boulders that I can sit on if I wish. Before I get the chance to move to one, I hear her voice once again, "Welcome, child. Are you ready to learn the last bit about unlocking your power?" So, this is it then. This is the last lesson before I am expected to take on the Coven? "I guess." I answer unsure."No, yes or no. Not I guess. You need to be sure. Are you ready to do what needs to be done to keep your pack, your family safe? Are you ready to ensure that all others like you are able to survive in the future?" She asks once again."Yes." I say without hesitation. When she says it that way it is all but impossible to deny. I have been wanting to be able to create a peaceful future for my family since my parents were killed. If this is the only way that that will ever happen then yes, I am ready."Good. If
The lost hybrid 202
Looking around in awe at the devastation that I caused in my sleep, I find that even the wards that kept me locked in are no longer here. I can move about completely on my own now. If I wanted to just leave and go to my pack then I would have no issues getting away before they noticed.But, then I would not be able to do what I have been instructed to do. I would not be able to secure a future for me and my family if I leave now. I have to make a statement. I have to prove that I belong here. That my family is better than whatever these witches are making us out to be. Now, how do I want to go about my next steps? I did not plan on my cage being obliterated in the middle of the night. I could go back downstairs and wait for somebody to come and find the cage. I could also hide in a tree and take them by surprise when they come looking for me.Then again, I think I know what I want to do. I keep getting told that it is time that I take the fight to them so that is exactly what I am go

"You did not answer how you got in here." Morden points out rather bravely."No, I did not. I was getting to that actually. You know how you have always been terrified of me being a hybrid. Saying that I am an abomination to hide the fact that you really are just scared of me and what I stand for. Well, that fear led to an incredible realization. Well, that fear and a little help from our wonderful Moon Goddess." I admit."The Moon Goddess would not help someone like you." She spits at me."Really? Well, have you ever stopped to think that the wolves worship a Moon Goddess as well. Maybe you thought that they were sisters or something, but just like there is only one moon, there is only one Moon Goddess. She created both species. Not to fight nonstop but to live in peace. To be able to take care of and nourish the land. The witches have stopped doing that for years now. They have been letting wolves die and sometimes even killing them. Well, I stand here as proof that our wonderful G

"What do you mean, Laina is in charge? Just yesterday you were talking about how we were going to get rid of her." One of the witches in the back says."Well, what she means is, I have beaten her fair and square. She will not be trying to retaliate in any way. If you do not believe me, here." I say as I wave a hand towards Morden and release her completely.All she does once released is move a little farther back on the bed. She manages to look downright terrified of me as she watches me and looks back towards the witches again."What she says is true. I concede. I have nothing left in me to fight with if I even wanted to." She admits."What is that supposed to mean?" Another one of the witches asks sounding fearful."It means that I cannot use my magic anymore. If you want to keep control of your own, I would suggest that you do not fight her on this." Morden says sadly.All of the witches turn back towards me in a mixture of fear and awe. I can hear the mumbling begin between them a

My sleep is without dreams for the first time in a long time. It feels like since I accomplished what the Moon Goddess has asked me to do, I can finally take a short rest before the rest of the work begins. I still have to learn how to use the rest of my new powers that she gifted me. Sure, I have already used them to an extent when I blocked Morden's ability to use her own powers but there are more that I have not even begun to tap into. I can feel it there, coiled and just waiting to strike.The next morning, I find that the witches have been hard at work making sure that when my grandmother arrives she will be welcomed into a Coven instead of fighting for her life. They have removed many of the pictures of Morden and instead replaced them with pictures of Elle and I. Most of the pictures of me look like they got them by spying on me as a child but there is one in a place of honor almost as soon as you walk into the foyer that is more recent. Somebody painted a portrait of me on t

"What do you mean you took over the Coven? I thought that you were their prisoner." Elle stammers at me while Dante just watches in shock."I was. The Moon Goddess helped me out. She taught me some things that helped me break out and gain the control I needed to take over. Now, the Coven answers to me. Come, you can help me figure out some things back at the house." I tell them before turning back towards the Coven's house.As we make the long trip back to the house, I try my hardest to answer everyone's questions about what happened. They are all so amazed by what I went through that I do not think they fully believe me. Elle especially seems flabbergasted over the events. Dante just keeps touching me in any way possible, whether it is just a hand on my back or running a finger down my arm as we walk. It is like he has to keep convincing himself that I am really here with him after being imprisoned so long. Smiling at him, I cannot help but be excited about the idea of spending anot
