Today I am officially graduating white stag training. I am completely able to erase myself from people's minds with ease. I managed to walk through the busy village and block myself out of every single one of their minds. I can make my scent and voice echo from all around people and even create apparitions of myself. 

These things are extremely powerful, that must be why they are only granted to white stags. If these powers got into the wrong hands it could be catastrophic. They could easily go on murdering sprees without anyone knowing. 

This is why we are considered uncatchable. You can't catch something you can't hear see or smell. Its basically impossible. 

Jeremiah has been an amazing trainer, I learned all of these abilities at a new record speed. He's been so sweet. I've noticed that the pink and purple sparks surrounding him have seriously increased throughout the weeks. 

I feel really guilty every time I see them so I've been blocking out his aura. 

I'm currently working in the flower shop, tending to the flowers and rearranging things to look a little more organized but simultaneously more magical. I had a way with plants, just nature in general actually. Its always calmed me and I've been told I have a sort of green thumb. 

In the Blood Thunder pack I was, of course, inn charge of the agriculture. Thanks to me it has one of the most beautiful landscape around that they were frequently complimented for. Flowers seem to never die or wither with me around weirdly. 

One time I passed out in a field of flowers and by the time I woke up every single flower was facing me, as if I was their sun, their source of energy. 

I know it sounds crazy and I'd never thought much of it but my life seems to always be crazy now a days. At this point I wouldn't be surprised. 

"Ellie!" I heard someone call from behind me. I turned around to see Daisy. 

"Hey Daisy" I said with an easy smile. 

"I heard you've mastered all of you skills! That's so amazing I feel so proud! I've been researching the whole controlling time thing but there doesn't seem to be anything on it, I don't know where to look anymore." 

"Thank you for trying, thats really truly nice of you." 

"Of course! Now that you're done with your training do you know what you're going to do?" 

"Not sure yet." 

"Are you planning on moving into the village?! I know everyone would love that!" 

I sighed. "I don't think so. I just, I don't know, I feel like I've barely seen the world and I just don't think I can settle down yet." 

"Well maybe you can stay here for a couple of years then start traveling and stuff later? Maybe you can even take over for Amos when he retires!" 

"I-I don't know..." She doesn't know I'm dying... 

"What do you mean you're dying?!" She burst out. 

I looked at her, a little annoyed that she read my thoughts. 

"I'm sorry. I could see that something was bothering you and I wanted to see if I could help. How long do you have?" 

I rubbed my face. "6 and a half months..."

She gasped. 

"My werewolf side is very problematic. My form is small and deformed but for some reason my healing, fighting and alpha powers are much more amplified than usual and my body can't keep up. My doctor gave me pills to curve the side effects, it shouldn't affect me until my last couple weeks."
