For the next few days all Cassie and I do is can. We make seven different types of soups. Four different types of stews. And ten different versions of trail mix. We split everything up between the different places then I take a case of everything over to Jill and karen's house as an early wedding gift. I also leave two crocheted blankets and two quilts there for them.
After all of the canning is done I talk to Cassie about the blankets and things. I ask her if wolves even did that kind of thing. She was shocked but said only the older ones made blankets.
"Okay so this is going to sound strange but do we want to start a quilting circle? Everyone who wants to learn how to quilt and everyone who likes to quilt can join. Once we get a list of all the people who want to do it I will buy supplies. What do you think we should get? I mean as far as sewing machines or just needles? I do everything by hand myself but that will take up a lot of time."
"I tell you what Luna let me call a couple of women in and you can talk to them about it. My specialty is food not sewing."
"Thank you Cassie that would help a lot."
Ten minutes later three women walked into the pack house and introduced themselves to me.
Hello Luna I am Tiffany, I am Steven and Stacy's mother."
Um hello Steve never mentioned you. I'm sorry I would have came to see you sooner if I knew who you were."
"That's okay Luna I wanted to see what you would do. And just to let you know I have seen what has happened between you ad Stacy and I have to say you have handled it well. You will make a good Luna."
"Thank you for the vote of confidence. Now I need help though."
"Another mark of a good Luna asking for help. By the way this is Amy and this is Tena. From what Cassie said you would like to start a sewing circle. We have heard that you see things and right now you are on a mission to stop a disaster this winter. How bad is it going to be?
" Yea well what you have heard is true. I see what I call flashes or glimpses. Or just the worst dreams in the world. These are the pictures I draw after I see them. These first five are what scares me the most. I want to stop this."
I hand the tablet to Tiffany and all three of them look through the pages. They pause on page three. I know they are looking at the picture I want to stop the most Steve laying over to bodies of now who I know to be is parents. The three women decide something in that moment, they look at the last two pictures then Tiffany hands the pad back to me.
Cassie we need soda please and then please come and join us at the table."
Cassie grabs the sodas and comes over to the table. After she passes out the sodas she sits down. Then Tiffany starts.
"Okay ladies what have you done so far?"
So Cassie and I tell them we have thirty cases of assorted jams and jellies, we have twenty-four cases of assorted vegetables, Twenty-six cases of assorted fruits, thirty cases of assorted soups, twenty cases of assorted stews, and twenty cases of assorted snack things like trail mix and dried fruit and jerky. As far as blankets go I have a storage unit full of blankets that need to be brought out and washed.
Before the women say anything Steve comes downstairs. He stops dead in his tracks. Stares at us for a minute then he comes over and gives every woman at the table a kiss. He stops behind me and asks him mom," Why are all the women who are important from my family and life sitting at this table?What did I do wrong?"
"So far the only thing you have done wrong is not introducing your girlfriend to her future mother in law and aunts." Secondly you will take the Luna to her storage unit tomorrow to pick up the blankets we need and you will be going to a few stores after that so you will be taking the big truck. Now kiss her and go back to work we have things to talk about."
Steve smiles and kisses me then he goes to her and kisses her cheek then he says," Yes mother whatever you say."
Then he goes back to his office. And we get back to work. We sit there for hours talking about sizes and patterns and different materials. While all this is going on Tiffany is writing out a list. When she's done she gives me the list saying these are the bare minimum of what we need.and not to get any less. After looking over the list I make a few side notes and ask them a few questions.
" I'm not trying to be rude but have you heard of the no sew quilt?
When they shake their heads no I tell them to hold on. I run over to the house and get my blanket out of the dryer. Then I go back to the pack house. I drape it over the table and tell them," This is a no sew quilt. THIS fuzzy stuff is the best material to use. All you do is cut and tie. If you have nothing planned for the day you can make up to four depending on the size. What do you think about adding these to the lists?"
Before anyone says anything I stop talking, Cassie sees it and grabs the sketch pad. They all watch as I draw a mess. Tiffany starts to recognize things and calls Steve. He comes racing down the stairs and watches as I finish the drawing. They know where this place is so they call the doctor out, Steve gets my attention and when I come back to him he asks," When?"
I close my eyes and say," fifteen minutes tops. We need to go now."
All six of us race out the door then we get down to the school. Everything looks okay but Steve races into the room and with his Alpha voice say,"EVERYONE OUT NOW. DON'T ASK QUESTIONS JUST GO."
Everyone races out of the building, Tiffany gets them almost to the pack house when the building explodes. Steve called the fire crew in as soon as he saw the drawing. They pulled in as it exploded. They got the fire out quickly and found it was a leak in the gas line that caused it. Once the excitement was over parent came to pick up their kids from the pack house. Everyone kept saying thank you. and saying I was a miracle and all this stuff all I could say was," it was no big deal I'm just glad they are all safe."
Finally when everything was back to normal us girls sat down at the table again to finish our conversation. The only problem with that is I got dizzy again and since Steve was in the room he got upset. He told us that these talk were over and I am going to bed. He then carried me out of the room. Tiffany and the others just smiled at him. Since he didn't grab my things Tiffany grabbed the sketch pad and looked though it. Most of the pictures are of the winter to come. Some of them were the war that we win. Others were of me and the elders in the circle. Once she gets to the end of the pictures she looks up at her sisters and says," This is a horrible gift the goddess gave her. The fact that she is so focused on stopping these visions means she has a good soul. I am happy with this match. We must do everything in our power to help our Luna save the pack. We also need to have a Luna ceremony so she can be connected to us. I say that is our next item we set the Luna Ceremony for Friday and everyone will just have to deal with it."
After agreeing they all went their separate ways.
