Having the lake finished has given the Coven more motivation to go outdoors for the day. Most witches are already outside quite a bit but now they all seem to be hovering around outside. Some are working the gardens while others are playing in the lake. I cannot help but join them when I see just how much fun they are all having out there."I have an idea. I hope that you all will try it with me." I tell them as I walk into the lake in a swim suit this time and actually allow the water to touch me."What is that?" Jade asks me."I want to have another competition. This one is just for bragging rights. I will even be a part of it." I tell them."Ohhh...what is it?" Hazel asks sounding intrigued."I say that all of us elementals see how detailed of a fish we can make float above the water. It needs to have scales, each part of its body and be able to move the way that only a fish can move. Maybe not even just a fish but some type of sea creature would work as well. As long as you do not
Walking over towards the Council after my experiments with the novices I can see them talking amongst themselves. They are all whispering and giving me very pointed looks. It is not like I cannot tell that they are talking about me once again. It is extremely obvious. I planned to go past them without stopping but when Simonetta steps right in front of me I have no choice but to stop. She stares down at me for a while before sniffing and moving slightly off to the side. That is when Katrin walks up in front of me instead. "Would you mind walking with me for a moment?" She asks me. "Do I really have a choice?" I say sarcastically as I turn to follow her. She does not answer but leads me away towards the pack border. Before we get there she stops and turns to me. "Do you understand just how special you are? Even if Simonetta refuses to see it the rest of us can. Do you get it?" She asks me. "I am sorry, what?" I ask sounding confused. That almost seemed like a compliment. "You c
Returning to the witches hanging out at the lake, I look around with a small smile as they all look overly happy to be here and be hanging out together. They have all worked for about 3 days to be able to get to the point where we can release fish into the lake. The wait for the fish is finally over and we are ready to make sure that all of the fish settle into the lake as well as possible. Once they arrived I was still a little frazzled but now as I watch all of the fish settling in I can see that this might all just work out rather well. The fish seem to all be finding their niches fairly quickly. Rojo is definitely enjoying having some company although I am still not sure how he feels about the other arapaima at this point. They both seem to avoid each other quite a bit. I watch Safiya while all of the witches laze around the lake. While all of the other witches are full of excitement at the idea of having the lake done, Safiya seems to be majorly distracted. She keeps eyeing the
After dinner all of the witches head to their prospective rooms so I make my way to mine. Making sure that all of the Council members see me walking up to the family quarters, I wave sleepily to each of the witches that are still downstairs. Elle follows me knowing that being a werewolf I stay up much later than most witches so something has to be up with me.I placed a spell on the perimeter of the house earlier that will let me know if any of the Council members leave the house at night. It will send me a weird sensation that nobody else will notice but I will. That way whenever Safiya sneaks out I will know instantly and be able to follow her. "What are you going to bed so early for? Are we finally going to figure out what is going on with the Council?" Elle asks after we make it into our quarters. "What, me, planning something? No way." I feign with her. When she raises her brows at me I continue, "Yes I am going to follow her tonight. I just need for her to think that we are al
With Safiya a decent ways ahead of me, I find myself trying to hurry while still keeping myself hidden. She is moving at a decent pace as if she is not afraid of being followed. It only takes a couple of minutes for me to get close enough to see that she is heading towards the pack. What could she be doing there? Maybe she is spying on the pack for the rest of the Council? Keeping a distance back, I rely on the Earth to guide me instead of my sense of sight. She does not veer off from the path heading towards the pack. Instead, she follows it slightly to the side of the pack's territory and heads into a clearing that borders both of the properties. What she is doing there is a complete mystery to me. She sits down on a fallen log as if she is waiting for someone. After a few minutes of her sitting in silence in the clearing I have my own seat grow from behind me so that I may be more comfortable. I also have a wide swath of bushes grow all around me to keep my from being seen by the
I make it back to my room and fully plan to collapse onto the bed but find that Dante is already laying on it waiting for me. I should have known that I would not be able to go straight to bed like I had planned. As soon as I reach the bed, he sits up and starts laughing at the look on my face."What is so funny?" I grumble."How many witches and werewolves have been hooking up that we do not know about?" He says in between gasps of laughter.I smile slightly at that thought. It seems like ever since the witches have moved in we have been learning of more and more relationships. Julia has had absolutely no qualms when it comes to hooking up with a werewolf and is having the most open relationship out of everyone. There was the one teenager and novice witch and now Safiya has been caught having a tryst. "If we have learned of this many then I am sure that there are many more as well. Once it becomes known that the species are able to find a way to make it work then I am sure that the
Safiya is conspicuously absent the next morning at breakfast. I can tell by her power signature that she is here but she did not come to eat breakfast with the rest of us. Simonetta, on the other hand, had no issues coming to breakfast with the Coven. "So, Laina, when do you plan on getting the witches and the werewolves to mingle some more?" Simonetta asks. I ponder the question before answering. This would be a wonderful question to have Safiya with us for. Hoping that my hunch that they have a way to communicate with their minds, I choose my next words well. "I am hoping to have a dinner soon with both species. Considering a lot of the mingling that has happened lately, I have high hopes that it will be fruitful." I tell her sweetly. "Oh, do the species mingle often that you know of then?" She asks with a brow raised. "The few times that I know of they seem to." I admit. While I am talking Hazel is very unsuccessfully hiding the fact that she is freaking out over what I am say
We begin our walk to the training area to begin our training with the werewolves. First, I am going to teach the witches how to make the shadow people that I have been using to help the pack with their training. That way, they will be able to split up and help different groups that are different levels with their training. Eventually, I want to have the witches teach the pack members how to deal with attacks from other witches and vice versa. If possible, I want to make both the Coven and the pack function as a cohesive unit. "Laina, where are we going?" Hazel says running up to me as we all begin walking towards the pack's territory."We are going on a field trip. We are going to be working with the werewolves on training exercises." I tell her matter of factly.She looks a little nervous for a minute. I guess she is not ready to see her fling around the other witches yet. It could be interesting to watch her get flustered around everybody."If there is someone that you would like t
