Bella took a long breath. "Look here brats. You'll behave or I'll throw you into my newest project. got it!?" She had finally had enough of the three cubs. She had let them into her lab, she let them look at her potions and books, but this was the fifth bottle of ingredients they had broken. Bella did not spend five months looking for rare plants to let three children ruin them. She had already scolded them but to no avail. Threatening them with her large-scale "poison" was the only thing that got them to settle. She just had to make sure they didn't find out the "poison" was just her new burn healing medicine she was working on.
The council had just decided to make Bella take the cubs to the neighboring pack. They were triplets, only 7 years old, but they had seen an assassination. In fact, they were the only living witnesses. Which means Bella had to make sure they didn't leave her sight. Bella looked at the slightly frightened children, "I'll be done in five minutes, so please just stay still." she said in a gentler voice this time. Bella thought she was the least prepared for this trip. She hadn't even harnessed her element yet, something most witches accomplished by their eighth birthday. Yet, here she was, 20, at one of the most prestigious universities, no element, and babysitting members of the BlueCrown pack's royal family.
She made up for not having an element with her gift for potions. One of the hardest classes according to her classmates, but Bella disagreed. Somehow, the math, careful planning of ingredients, and special attention to temperature and environments just came to her naturally. In fact, she even enjoyed it. She wasn't nicknamed the potions master for nothing! She focused her attention back to her potions. She figured a few healing potions would come in handy. She packed up a few small belongings and ingredients including a change of clothes, ingredients for more potions, a first aid kit, and her miniature glass globe that doubled as a GPS. She made sure to leave a letter explaining in careful details what to do to continue her burn healing project for the substitute lab worker.
She grabbed her dark black woolen cloak, tied the straps on her leather boots, and set out with the cubs to meet the council.
