*Her*  Fiona breathed a sigh of relief and wiped sweat from her forehead. Keeping up with the pups was hard work. When Persephone brought back to the De'silva pack, Fiona promised the Luna that she would help at the primary school as a way of saying thankyou for letting her stay untill she sorts herself out. Teaching at a normal school and a werewolf school are completely different as Fiona came to learn. Normal school has a normal curriculum, English, maths science, history etc. These subjects Fiona was able to breeze through but she struggled with werewolf history class and PE. These two subjects were set by the Alpha for the little ones to learn.  Werewolf history Fiona had to spend a little extra time in the Alphas office reading up on the topic herself, and the PE class, they always had a warrior or a tracker wolf come to teach the children about training for their future in the pack. Today, however it was recess and the pups were running around playing tag while Fiona watched on and sometimes running after them to keep them out of trouble.  She was daydreaming when the Luna approached her. Luna Amy simply touched her shoulder and she jumped in fright.  "Sorry dear, I didn't mean to startle you." Fiona shrugged and gave the Luna a half smile. "No...it's my fault for not paying attention. What brings you here today?" Luna Amy fluffed around the children lovingly parting each on the head. "oh I'm here for Bradley, Brandon and Charlotte. Their Grandmother will be coming to the pack today to visit them and she is bringing a tutor to help them with their magic."  "Oh ok.." this was one thing Fiona was still getting used to. She knew werewolves existed but she never knew fairies did untill she met Persephones step mother. Before, to her, fairies were only things in the stories she read to the children she taught. But now theres the whole world of the supernatural. Fiona wasn't to sure if she will ever become a normal human again after having such knowledge. She c****d her head to the side and called out, "Bradley, Brandon and Charlotte, your grandmother's coming to visit, so your mother wants you home. Luna came to take you guys there." The two boys were wrestling each other. Luna Amy growled. "Boys! Don't you listen to your teacher?!" Bradley and Brandon immediately halted what they were doing and stood up straight. "Sorry Luna." They said in unison. "That's better. Now let's get going before your mother worries." She put her arms around the children and guided them away.  Fiona called out to them. "I'll see you guys at home."  They smiled and waved. When Fiona first came to the packlands, Persephone thought it might be more comfortable for Fiona to stay with her family rather then alone or at the packhouse with unmated males.  So Fiona took up Persephones room when she moved out to join her mate in Canada.  The rest of her day passed pretty quickly, and when the bell rang at the end of the day, the pups packed up their classroom and went home. Fiona sat at her desk planning for tomorrows lessons. One of the warrior wolves who takes the special classes came and knocked on the door. He looked down and shuffled on his feet. "Um...miss Fiona?" She looked up from her papers on her desk. "Mark. Hello, uh what can I do for you?" Mark looked at her sheepishly. "Um...I was wondering..if....you know...you are doing anything on the weekend?"  Fiona sighed. She was not really interested in getting into dating, especially with another werewolf. She looked squarely at Mark. "I'm sorry Mark, but I'm just not interested in dating anyone at the moment. Don't get me wrong, your a great guy, you work hard and I'm sure there's a girl out there for you, it's just...not me." She tried to smile but she felt pained. Mark only nodded. "Ah sure....I'm sorry to have bothered you." He left and Fiona sighed. She closed her date book and shuffled the papers on her desk. She got up, grabbed her handbag and room keys. She stepped out into the hallway of the school turned around and locked the classroom door.  She walked back home. As she got closer she shivered. As she opened the door, Calista greeted her from the lounge. With her there were two people she had never seen before. Calista stood up to introduce them. "Fiona, this is my mother and this gentleman is her secretary, Finn." The man Infront of her seemed ethereal. His long white hair was tied back with a purple ribbon. His grey eyes hidden behind silver rimmed glasses. He wore a shirt with the sleeves rolled up. His purple tie matched the ribbon that was in his hair. Finally he wore black dress pants that were neatly pressed. He had on shiney black shoes and had a daybook in his hands.  The man looked her up and down, a glint in his eyes. He held out his hand for her to shake. Fiona slowly moved forward and took his hand in hers to shake. For a few seconds there was an electric current and a small silver mist merged around their connected hands. Fiona gasped and the man looked surprised. The man excused himself before dissapearing in a blue poof. Claistas mum clapped her hands. "Well..that was...interesting. Fiona my dear, I'll have to get to know you soon, but for now...I've got to check on my secretary. He left in such a hurry, I'm worried for him." Then she left in a pink poof.  Calista looked at Fiona and smiled knowing something that Fiona didn't. At that point the three children ran into the room. All three trying to speak at the same time. Calista put her hand up silencing them. She gestured to Charlotte first. "Mummy, I felt magic today! Mr Finn said if I keep concentrating and practicing I'll eventually be able to channel it!" Calista smiled encouraging at her. "That's wonderful! What about you Bradley?" Bradley puffed out his chest. Mr Finn taught me to close my eyes and concentrate. " He demonstrated and after a little flourish a little sprout grew in his palm. "See, now I can grow seedlings for you!" Calista patted him on the head proudly. "And you Brandon, what did you learn?"  Brandon looked at his feet and mumbled. "I can still only conjure puddles...Mr Finn said I need to keep practicing. He told me I should be able to feel water in the air and manipulate it, but I can't." Calista patted him on the head too. "You'll get there sweetheart. And when you do, you will be so proud of yourself, so don't feel down." Fiona left them to their family time and went to Persephones room. She chucked her handbag on the bedside table and collapsed on the bed. Unsure of what just happened between her and the beautiful man....
