บททั้งหมดของ The lost hybrid: บทที่ 111 - บทที่ 120

Even though I have not left yet I am already beginning to feel homesick. I stayed with Dante and spent the entire morning and lunch time with him but now it is time for me to try to find my grandmother. I have a feeling that I know how to I just have to really open myself up and focus.I head into the forest and find a place next to a rose bush to sit down and relax. Reaching out with my senses, I release a breath and focus on my task. Of finding my grandmother and a way to get to her. As my senses expand and I begin to drink in the nature around me I let my intentions of finding my grandmother be known.Without me realizing the rose bush reaches up to my finger and a thorn breaks the skin. As a drop of blood falls to the ground I feel it beginning to run in all directions. Much farther than a single drop of blood should be able to travel.The undergrowth lights up and begins to grow and thrive as my blood starts searching for that of my grandmother. It travels

If there is no wind then there has to be something that is blocking it. Could it really be a coincidence that it is right where my grandmother's cottage is supposed to be? I do not believe in coincidences so she must know a way to hide her cottage from sight. How am I supposed to get in then? Landing gently on the ground in my cardinal form I reach out with my senses. With this small of a body and the even smaller points on my feet that are touching the ground I cannot get a good connection to the earth. The best way would be if I were to transform into my human self. Is that risky though? I do not know for sure if my grandmother is in there or not or even if she is alone. Morden could be in there right now looking for me so if I transform here it could blow my entire cover. Instead, I take off and fly back into the trees a little ways. Then I land again but this time I turn back into myself. When my feet hit the ground I can finally connect with mother nature again.

True to her word, when we finished our tea she was ready to start. I considered dragging out drinking my tea because I am a little nervous about showing her my memory but that would only delay the inevitable. So, after a thoughtfully quiet cup of tea it is finally time for us to begin.She reaches her hands across the table and grasps mine. Her hands are warmer than I had expected and amazingly soft. After a few deep breaths she says to me, "Alright, open up your mind the way that you do when you are trying to connect to nature. Once you feel your awareness opening up, push it towards me. I will then open up as well and we will merge our thoughts and feelings together." Sounds simple enough. I should not have a problem doing this. As I slowly relax and let my awareness slip out I find that it is more difficult that I expected for it to reach out to my grandmother. Maybe it is because I am still so defensive when it comes to her but as soon as I get close I can fe

Being able to sleep under the stars was amazing. I got used to sleeping under them when I was living on my own and had not realized how much I missed it. Waking up and seeing the sunrise through the window above me was just as amazing as sleeping under the stars. The amount of thought that went into this room has me taken aback. Maybe she knows me better than I realized she had all of these years. Maybe this is her showing that she actually cares about me since she comes off as so cold all of the time.Elle is already awake and making some oatmeal and coffee for breakfast. It has been a while since I have had oatmeal since Dante always makes a more elaborate meal but it sounds pretty good today. In fact, when she sits it in front of me I find myself practically inhaling it. There are little bits of fruit and honey mixed into it making it absolutely incredible. Elle watches me eating in shock at the way I eat the food. She has probably not had to feed many hungry

When Elle had warned me that she was going to be tough on me she was not kidding. As soon as I woke up she had me learning how to make breakfast using the elements. Some of it was simple, like getting water into the bowl. Other ones were much trickier. I was not to touch the spoon to stir the oatmeal and had to use wind to stir it instead. Seems much easier said than done because it took me forever to be able to get the spoon to stir the oatmeal enough. It took me almost an hour just to make oatmeal without all of the additives that she had used yesterday. I swear I even saw a twinkle of humor in her eyes at one point.After we got done eating she did take pity on me and let me use my hands to wash the dishes as long as I warmed the water up with fire. Fire is not something that I have ever attempted to summon before. Just the thought of not having control of the flame is terrifying to me. Elle informs me that that is normal but it is something that I will have to overcome if
