Six Months Later

Rosalia's POV

"I'M BORED!" I yell down the stairs and Ash laughs back up at me from where he sat god knows where doing god knows what. Oh, boy. He sure does know how to make me mad - and without trying may I add ladies and gentlemen. Without. Fucking. Trying.


Anyhow, first off let me catch you up. It's now towards the end of March and I still haven't seen or heard from Hunter after that initial shared dream which I was later - sadly - informed that he wouldn't remember. Since then Ash has had to divide his time between doing his duty to Hunter and looking after me and making appearances at the castle so as not to tip anyone off that something's wrong.

But it's hard. For all of us. Every time Ash leaves I get a gripping sense of unease that someone will discover our secret and he won't come back. Either that or I'm kept awake at night thinking that someone is coming to get me. To get all of us. But I have hope. During the six months, I've now spent here Eris, Rach, the Coven and the Pack have been helping me deal with controlling my more er murderous impulses one might say.

So what have I gained after six months? Well, I've learnt to control my werewolf side almost perfectly. I have enough control to say extend my claws, fangs or flash my eyes their trademark orange and black without fully shifting - which isn't so painful now that I've done it several times. Kinda natural actually. Alongside that I've been taught to conceal my scent from others as well as working on moving soundlessly and keeping my wolf senses to a minimum so I can look normal and pass for other creatures should I need to.

On the witch side, well I've learnt most Elemental magic as well as the rules that bind them. Obviously. But I'm still learning to control that more volatile side of my nature since I don't yet have a fully made talisman. Eris played around with the idea of using either my rose pendant or bracelet before we found my power to be so extremely heightened that she needed to do both so that's being made. Yay. Like with the wolf part I've learned to conceal my magical aura and witch scent. Hoping it'll keep me safe.

The angel and demon parts of me are still mostly out of control since no one knows any fallen angels of demons willing to help. Well, I say that other than a few shady ass demons who wanted to help me in exchange for some exceedingly messed up shit no one stepped forward. Apparently, all scared of my power - how would you like to be me and not be able to control it? Huh? Yeah, that's what I thought, cowards. Still, anyhow the suspected angel and demon parts are somewhat under control since I've learnt to control and conceal the rest of my nature but I still have to work on it when I get angry. (Sorry again Eris for all the stuff I broke learning. Grinning mischievously.)

And what of my vampire nature I hear you ask. Well, Ash took it upon himself to train me of that since he was the only one around to do so. I'd rather Hunter have done it but I accepted early on that that was going to be impossible so I settled for Ash instead. It took a while but eventually, he taught me to control the bloodlust, keep my aura hidden so I could pass a human and make sure I was able to know when to feed so as not to go attacking anyone.
