Now that Aurora has learned about Chelsea, we have informed the other witches in our Coven on the update. When Chelsea and I get back to the pack house for the night, I find that Dante is once again in his office going over our plans with meeting the other Alphas. I cannot quite make out the exact words that he is saying but judging by the way he sounds it is not going as well as he would like.He has been just as stressed as me lately with the meeting between all of the Alphas, Chelsea being a hybrid, me being a hybrid, me being pregnant, Chelsea starting school and even trying to help out Rand's pack that I really hate to add more to his stress levels. It is not exactly something that I can keep from him either though. Still, I will wait until he comes to bed to tell him of our other, newer issues."Come on, Chelsea. Let's get upstairs so that you can take a bath and get ready for camp tomorrow. You don't want to be smelly." I say as I plug my nose and pretend like she smells absolu
Chelsea is still playing in the bathtub when I go to find her. I can tell that she is beginning to grow tired when I walk in to find her. Her eyes look much darker than they normally do when she first wakes up. She looks nowhere near her normal bright eyed self. "Are you ready for bed Chelsea?" I ask her after knocking on the door. She nods quickly and jumps out of the water while I turn to wait on her bed for her. She wastes no time at all getting dressed but as she walks into her room her feet are dragging. There is no way she will be able to keep this up the entire week if she is already this tired after only one day. Have we been pushing her too hard? After all, she is only 8 years old. Definitely not old enough to have this hectic of a schedule. "Hey, are you okay?" I ask her sweetly. "Yeah, just tired." She replies with a yawn. "I know. Are you going to be okay tomorrow at camp? Or even at training?" I ask her. "I think so. I cannot miss camp. The other orphans are relying
Dante made sure to help me relieve stress for hours that night. Even though I was physically exhausted with the pregnancy I just could not get my mind to shut off. That is, not until we had a few rounds that lasted well into the night. Only when I was so physically spent that I could no longer keep my eyes open was I able to finally fall into a deep and dreamless sleep. Well, that is the way it started of course.Before I know it I am standing on the ledge in my dreams once again. This time, it is brighter than it had been before. In the distance it is still dark enough to swallow all light but closer up I can see beautiful waterfalls and huge cliffs. I might be standing on a ledge over a huge drop off but What I can see under me is absolutely breathtaking."Ah, Laina, it is good to talk to you again. I see that the training with your sister is going well." The Moon Goddess' voice carries through the air.My heart practically stops when she speaks to me. I am absolutely terrified. Not
When I wake up the next morning I find that the image is still burned into my mind. As well as a sense of urgency that I cannot seem to shake. I have to get started on building it. Now. Even if I just start drawing up the plans before the baby comes I know that I at least need to start something for it. "What is going on in that head of yours?" Dante asks sleepily as we get ready for the day."I visited the Moon Goddess again last night." I answer."Oh yeah, what does she want you to do now?" He asks me."She wants me to start building a school for all of the hybrids to train at. She showed me how she wants it to look as well as what all she wants it to include. The image keeps flashing in my head like I have to get it onto paper now." I tell him."Would you like to share the image with me? Or, we can bring some drawing supplies with us to the camp today and you can work on drawing it all out while we watch the kids try to get along." He suggests."That would be great thanks." I tell
Breakfast was just as good as it smelled from up the stairs. Now that Chelsea and I have both eaten enough to feed ten, it is time for us to go and meet the other pups for day camp. She practically skips along as we make our walk."Am I going to have the drawing stuff available for me?" I ask him."Yes, Kevin is already planning on bringing the stuff there for you. He is even bringing a portable desk to make it easier on you. It will all be waiting for us when we get there." He says.I am excited to begin getting my ideas down on paper. I have never exactly been that great at art but I know that if I cheat a little and use some magic to make sure it looks right then I should not have a problem. I just won't tell Dante that that is what I did since he is worried about me using my powers. Sometimes, not using them hurts even more. It is not like these powers are going to effect the baby anyways.We are the last ones to arrive to the day camp but it is not like they can start without us
By the time that the treasure hunt starts, it is more than time for me to take a break. My back is aching from sitting in a chair at a desk all day. Instead, I get up and walk with Dante as we watch all of the teams looking for their missing items. Each team was shown their object at the beginning of the morning and then the witches that are helping today went out to hide them all while the pups did some other games.Now, Chelsea is leading a group along with the boy that I had to talk with yesterday. There are only enough of the orphans for the two groups while there are about 10 other groups from my pack. Each group got to pick a leader and I am pleasantly impressed by most of their choices. Sadly, Caleb did not get chosen to lead his group with the other wolf pups."Alright, you have an hour to find your missing object. You will be doing it in wolf form unless for any reason you have to shift back to get to it. There is a witch in hiding at each location so no funny business. First
As I race back towards the group, I send my awareness out to make sure that I am not being followed. As an added precaution, I even pass far to the side of the group as well as Dante so that he can keep an eye out for any potential threat. What are other wolves doing on the edge of our territory? They have no reason to be there unless they are trying to spy for some reason. What could it be though? Then again, there is a lot going on in our pack that others would love to know more about. The fact that there are two packs living next to each other so peacefully and that we also have a witch Coven on the other side is shocking to many of the other packs. "No tail, I think that they are getting close to their trasure though if you want to make it back." Dante says.I turn back and run back to the group. They are all excitedly diggingin an open area in the forest. Chelsea is standing there watching them all with that wolf grin again while the others keep working. Eventually they stop di
We wait for all of the other groups to arrive before they announce the official winners. I am on pins and needles waiting to hear the results so I know that Chelsea and all of the other pups are feeling so much worse. When the other groups got back they all seemed rather shocked to find that so many groups had already made it. They all seem in good spirits about their adventures after they all shift back and get dressed again."Alright, now that the last pack is back I can give the final results. It was a very close match but......the winners are......actually it is a three way tie!" Julia shouts to everybody.Wow, I am more than a little shocked that Chelsea's team did not win the treasure hunt. I was sure that they were going to be the winners. They cound their treasure quickly and rushed back here. Still, the other two teams definitely deserve the chance to be winners as well.All of the pups explode in excitement when they hear that three different teams ended up winning. There ar
