Azalea It took us awhile since they were on 2 feet instead of the 4 feet I had been on, but the time passes quickly as we chatted about everything from boys to clothes and music. Finally I could hear the sound of fast running water and smell the dampness and we began to pick up our pace. "Finally," Cassie said, looking up to the top of the waterfall. "It's so pretty here! I can't believe it didn't even know it was here." We set up our picnic area around the pool at the bottom of the falls where a small patch of sunlight broke through the trees. We sat there munching down and laughing at Cassie's stories of times at her pack house with all of brothers. Cora and Celia each only had one sibling and I was raised like an only child so it was great getting to hear the crazy things they did. I told them all about the cities I'd been to and they asked a ton about what it was like around regular humans. "Alright. I am going for a swim now. That water is calling my name," I said,
Azalea I woke the next day, excited and a little nervous. This was going to be my first dance. I shook my head, feeling a little silly for being nervous. This was going to be the first time I was going to get to check out the boys at this school and at the Alpha Academy. My bet was that most of them would be too young for my taste, but it would be fun to flirt. And it might piss my sister off more too, which was always a good thing. The girls had told me yesterday about a few of the boys to avoid because they'd get handsy. I ran down and got breakfast, seeing few shifters than I expected down there. I ate breakfast on the roof, once again looking over the songs in fae. Since the bathroom was empty when I headed back down, I took a nice long shower, taking extra care with adding lotion and brushing my hair out. I had agreed on having an upswept hairstyle for me to show off my dress so after I brushed it I placed it in a bun for later. Cassie was finally awake and we chatt
Azalea The doors were already opened and we stepped inside, still laughing about my joke. The music was definately loud and you could see people everywhere dancing and joking and talking. But as we moved into the room and through the crowd, all eyes were on us. It made me a little nervous but Cassie strolled through like it was nothing. We were half way through the room on the way to the tables set at the back when I heard my brother behind us. "Dad is going to have a stoke." I turned and smiled at him. "No shit Sherlock. And where is princess Barbie tonight?" I asked him. "She's over there with her friends. I can't wait for her to see you. She's going to shit a brick. I didn't know you had tatoos. Where is the rest of your dress?" Taylor asked me, stepping closer so he didn't need to yell over the music. I laughed and said "Breathe brother. Damn. It is really that big of a deal? I thought the girls were just exaggerating. And this is all of my dress. Don't you lik
AzaleaWhen I got back from meeting with the dean, the girls were all up in our room and we spent the day hanging out and playing video games. It was fun and I ended the night with a call to my mom, telling her about the school and the dance and my new friends. She said I sounded happy and I guess for the first time in a long time I was. Monday was the first day of school and so I was up early. I wanted to get a run in before training so I ate a granola bar while getting dressed and headed out at dawn for the forest. I let my wolf run for about an hour before making my way to the cafeteria. Cassie was sitting with some other girls I didn't know, but who were obviously wolf shifters. I grabbed some real breakfast and sat down beside her to eat while I listened to them talk. Cassie introduced us - they were a few girls she was sorta friendly with from her classes the last few years. They talked about the party and the guys and how a few people had found their mate that night."
Azalea We settled into a good routine and before I knew it a few months had passes. I would go running in the mornings before class. I loved that alone time, just me and the forrest, it was so freeing and something I hadn't been able to do before coming here. Then classes all day before homework and dinner with the girls. Weekends were relaxing after my short class with Clarissa and Malorie. We spent a few more weekend days at the waterfall before autumn set in and the water became too cold. After the first month I had fully integrated my powers into myself and no longer had to visualize them to use it. I could move anything, big or small, and even people safely. I learned how to make a small whirlwind and how to change the air temperature slightly, about 15 degrees either way. This month they had me shift into my wolf form and then try the same things - moving things, making whirlwinds and changing the air temperature. It was slower progress, my power feeling split be
Logan I was to meet my father at the Enforcers Academy today and I was early, like always. My plane had caught good tail winds so I arrived about 30 minutes early so I headed up to his office. Hopefully this wouldn't take long as I wanted to be back on pack lands tonight. I entered his office and saw he was still conversing with Frankie, who was one of the pack members watching over my sister and brothers while they were at school. I poured myself a drink and wandered over to the desk to see what trouble they had gotten into that had them so engrossed in conversation. "They appear to be very close, sir. There wasn't much abnormal to report before today. They've got to the waterfall a few times, but spend most of their time in their room with the other two girls. They did go to the dance, as you can see by the pictures. But Cassie actually seems to be behaving for the most part - no pranks or fights so far. So it looks like she's a good influence. The other girl though is
Azalea I woke to someone poking me and the sounds of chatter. "Are you okay?" "What are you doing up here?" "You never came to the room last night or answered your damn phone." I opened my eyes and could see the girls around me, looking down with worried faces. I sat up slowly, my body hurting and even so my heart. "Oh my god what happened to you?" Cassie asked, squating down to look closer at my busted cheek crusted over with dried blood and my puffy eyes, one of which felt swollen. "I'm fine. It looks worse than it is," I replied, rolling my neck to release some tension. "I just needed some space yesterday." "You know you can talk to us right?" Celia asked gently, handing me a juice for which I was very thankful for. I downed the drink fast and nodded. "I know I just .... can't yet. I will soon though I promise," I replied. Cassie handed me a note and said, "This was slipped under the door for you this morning." "Ugh," I grunted, lightly slapping my forehead.
Azalea As soon as dusk began we headed down with everyone else. The nights were getting colder and I wished I had werewolf warmth but I had picked out a costume with long sleeves and had on pantyhose to help keep my legs warm. We cut loose and had a blast - we visited and joked with several other people whom I recognized from both my history class and my business class, taking a ton of pictures in crazy poses. My brother Taylor and Cassie's brothers had joined our little group at some point, teasing and tagging along. Today I was thankful for their distraction and even gave my brother a hug. We all sat together and ate dinner at some point and I laughed until my sides hurt at their antics. We played some of the games - my brother winning me a little blue stuffed wolf and then we decided to do the haunted trail. They did a really good job on the trail, having everything from zombies with chainsaws and killer clowns - think IT- to some crazy deformed creatures. We screamed and
