Azalea I jogged all the way up to our room where Cora and Celia were already waiting with Cassie. They had brought in the packages from outside our door. We visited and unpacked, showing each other pictures of all the things we'd done. The girls were glad to know I was pretty much recovered but mad that Cassie and I hadn't said anything about it when it happened. There wasn't anything they could do so far away and we didn't want to ruin their holiday. I made it up to them when I gave them their bags. I had Ashley make one for each of the 4 of us with the symbol we created - a wolf with a moon, a water symbol, a whirlwind and a small plant. We settled down and relaxed for a bit, popping in a movie as it was cold here and lightly snowing. I opened up the smallbox I had gotten. It was from Melisandra - my friend. She sent me enough dye for my hair now as well as the recipe - and the recipe for ink with her phone number and instructions to call soon. I was excited for both an

Azalea Malorie's class turned out to be pretty simple for me. She had several books on plants and ingredients, with where to find them, their properties, etc that we would go over and she would test me on them. Most she would show me in person and those that were safe I was allowed to smell and touch and taste so I would be able to recognize them. I'd always had a little bit of a green thumb so this had turned out well. While I did have a decent amount of studying outside of class with her, it wasn't bad. She was trying to make sure I would be ready when Elder Morgan came. The weeks went by quickly. I moved through ingredients quickly and was on to basic spells and incantations with malorie. Celia was helping me with my studies for that. I had somewhat mastered speaking fae and Charlotte and Titus now exclusively spoke to me in it. She was working on incantations with me and we still practiced in my wolf form at least once a week. I was exhausted but I loved the learning

Morgan There has to be something I'm missing. I can feel the power running under her skin. I've heard the tales of what she is capable of. Just look at how much she's been able to do with the fae magic. She could be everything we are looking for if only I can figure out how to unlock it, I thought to myself as I paced my living room. There was a knock at my door and it was unexpectedly Elder Charlotte. "Hello. I wan't expecting you. Were you not working with the girl now?" I asked her, not wanting to be disturbed. "Yes and no. I have something we need to discuss. May I come in?" she replied. Hmmm, I thought as I opened the door. "Have a seat. Tea?" I asked reaching for another cup. "Yes please." I poured her tea and handed it to her before ushering her to the chairs. We both sat. "What's going on?" I asked almost impatiently. "You worked potions with Azalea today right?" "Yes, but the results were-" She cut me off. "They appeared below par at the time hmm?

Azalea I was starving at lunch and actually downed a few tylenol I kept in my bag. Cassie looked at me questioningly and commented once again on my scent. "It could be the potions or the magic I've been working on," I whispered to her. She nodded in understanding as a finished the first sandwich. Her friends came over again and I was glad for their distraction for her. When I went to go meet up with Rich I remembered the smell masking potion. I told Rich about what had happened in my classes earlier - leaving out a few details of what I had seen- and that I had brought a smell masking potion to try today. "Great," he said. "What I want is for you to use it on yourself. maybe it will work better on you and you can boost it somehow with your powers. I am going to change into my wolf. You're going to give me a 2 minute head start and then I want you to try to track me and I will circle back to try to sneak up on you. So you're going to be the hunted and the hunter in your hu

Cassie "Have you seen Azalea?" I asked Taylor when he came into the kitchen. She had been gone already when I had woken up and wasn't answering her phone. "No, she wasn't with ya'll? Did you check the beach? You know she loves her early morning runs," he replied smiling before gulping down his coffee. We were all walking into the kitchen getting ready to go grab breakfast. "She does, but she's always back by now. Plus she almost always answers her phone. Her scent was faint in her room, like she'd been gone a while and ... I don't know. I just feel like something is off," I replied, wringing my hands. I couldn't put my finger on it but something was wrong. Celia frowned and I noticed she was still sitting there staring into her cup. "You feel it to? Like a sense of foreboding?" she asked me quietly. I nodded and she pushed her cup away. "Look, let's ping her phone's GPS. Just to make sure she's ok. I mean some of those himans have really been hanging around you girls
