Four more weeks had passed since I left Beacon Hills, four weeks in which I began training on my own. Things really didn't change much after that, the training routine kept on being the same for the three of us. Danny did his thing, Malia did hers and I did mine. The only exception was that Magnus wasn't there to help me anymore, I had to do things on my own and trust my magic to guide me.

I surprised everyone, especially Danny that has known me for the longest time, by deciding not to jump into the difficult stuff of my magic and decide to begin with the basics of what being a dark witch is. I used the spell book that I took from Jenifer, leaving it for me to find was the only good thing that she had done, thanking Hecate (Look! I am even beginning to talk like a real witch, I thought happily) that it was of dark magic and worked on perfecting every single one of them. I also began my own book of potions, the majority learnt from Magnus, some researched from Internet and old books from Lillo's library, and a few from my own invention.

Years of cooking and chemistry made it easy for me to know how to mix and create my own potions. Magnus told me with pride shinning in his eyes, that my potions were one of the best he had ever since and that soon I'll became the best potion maker in North America and one day of the entire world! He also told me that I had a natural talent for it. At first I didn't believe it, but soon afterwards I started to get requests from a variety kind of potions. When I saw how much money they were willing to spend on me I began to believe my old teacher, you don't see that quantity of ceros and think they aren't taking you seriously!

It reached a peak were my potions became so popular that Danny needed to start a webpage for me in the Supernatural net, not only because of me selling magical things but also because of my age (And I totally didn't decide to use the triskele as the symbol of my page because of Derek, no matter how many times Danny teases me about it. I said in my head stubbornly). I still couldn't believe that I was receiving requests from the whole west coast. I am sure that my sudden success was in its majority because of Magnus' contacts, they and he were the ones that spread the voice of the new Old One witch that had a gift in potions. Of course, I didn't have such a low self-esteem to think that they only bought from me because of Magnus. I even had common clients by now! That spoke a lot of my achievements.

I didn't only grow in the sense of taking a better responsibility in my magic, but also in the money. In the past I would have normally used it to get the latest comics out, video games and computer, now I made an investment. My first thought was to spend money on Malia, but Peter had already covered that area. He had sent two boxes full of new clothes from 'Muses' to Lillo's house, one for me and the other one for his daughter, which didn't only have clothes but also the last I phone, the last Mac and a credit card full of money. I didn't know how he found out about us being here, surely by one of his many contacts, one of the necessities of being the left hand of a pack. However, I didn't fear a Hale invasion any time soon. After all, I was sure that Peter will keep my pack's secret to the grave, another thing why I liked him so much.

But also sometimes he put me in such positions that I wanted to kill him! What he did left me in an ambiguous place, I had so much money and didn't know in what to spend it. Malia had anything and everything she wanted, Danny always was like that and now I didn't need to renovate my wardrobe because Peter had already done it for me. At the beginning I just wanted to send it right back at Beacon Hills but Malia's kicked pup… no, kicked coyote's sad eyes won me over. I couldn't let her know that the gift from her family wasn't worth it or accepted by her Alpha, that would be a very low punch for a member of any pack. So, I kept it and surprise, surprise, Peter had chosen purple, silver, white and black to be the main colours of my new wardrobe. I seriously needed to have a big, serious talk with him when we get back, I couldn't let all my pack's secrets be known by all Beacon Hills.

But getting back to my main problem, I didn't know what to do with everything I suddenly had. So I asked for advice from my ex-magic teacher and Lillo, as this wasn't a magic related problem they decided to help me out. They gave me a very good idea that I really beat myself for not thinking about earlier, they told me to put an account in a Supernatural bank for my college funds, principally because I there was no other kind of bank that will accept a sixteen years old girl making an account with selling magical potions as explanation from where she got the money. Also, that even if my pack now had money maybe in a future they might not so I better have a plan B for that. They advised me to open an herbs shop that offered potions, wards and healing as well. However, I decided to leave that for a near future and begin paying for all the hospitals debts that my family had for my mother's treatments and my ADHD. It was the least I could do for my father who gave his all to raise me, even after he lost the love of his life.

However, even after everything that's been happening this last four weeks, my principle objective has been to get information about Gerard. That son of a bitch has some damn good contacts! Not even Danny and his magic fingers has been able to localize him anywhere. What I hate the most about this situation isn't still being at cero, but rather that my pack is getting frustrated and blame themselves at not being good enough for me.

How could they think that?! They are the best pack anyone could wish for! I thought annoyed at their lack of confidence in themselves, but I wasn't the best example of high self-esteem so I kept silent. The last thing I wanted was to became a hypocrite.

And at the end it seems like I didn't need to, because yesterday exactly Danny came to me with a huge smile on his face and announced that he had found Gerard's lair. And as if Malia has been called she had appeared next to me, swearing that she was ready to fight by my side. It gave me the bad vibes, especially since it sounded as if she was swearing her loyalty for me and enlisting for was… and now that I think about it, this is kind of like a war.

The Stilinski pack against the Dread Doctors.

Getting back into the topic, we parted immediately. We said our goodbyes to Danny's family, Magnus' coven and the friends we had made in the Casino. I made sure that my common clients knew that even if I was gone they could still buy me potions from my page. And lastly before leaving Las Vegas behind and head towards our first battle, I visited Daniela Silver and promised her that I would do anything in my power to avenge her and her father.

"Are you ready guys?" I asked them, making sure that everyone knew what they had to do. After all, the bastard had a little army defending him from any unwanted visits.

"We do, Alpha" they replied immediately and with determination.

"Then, what are you waiting for? Move!" I demanded getting ready to release my potion, it will make any supernatural creature at the building fall asleep immediately.

After all they hadn't done anything wrong, they had just been kidnaped and tortured by those hunters to the point that they had to follow their every rule. So I didn't want to fight against them and end up hurting or killing someone innocent. However, the rest of them were a whole other story. Those hunters were from the worst kind and I will enjoy every second of tearing them apart. I knew that my magic was speaking right now, like it did when I finally told the Hale pack to fuck off, but I didn't care a damn. Those hunters were going down!

Just like I've expected the fighting ground was free from any supernatural creature and the hunters were in position, ready to kill at sight. The fight was mesmerizing; I've never seen so much blood before in my life. There were much more hunters that we've calculated, but we were lucky that an unknown werewolf decided to join the fight in our side.

However, as soon as we've won the fight Malia was on him. Both of them threw punches, struggled around and pinned each other on the floor. If the situation wasn't so serious and dire, I would be laughing my as off at how ridiculous it was that two strong supernatural creatures were acting like five years old kids fighting for a toy.

"Mistress stop them" requested me Danny with a pleading voice and wide open eyes "Stop them! That's Jackson!".

I froze looking at him in shock, not believing my ears. Jackson?! I exclaimed in my head. But he is in London! Also, this guy has black raven hair!

But I also knew that my animal partner has never steered me wrong, and wouldn't joke with stuff like this. So, I did what every good Alpha would do… I trusted my pack mate.

"Malia stop right now!" I ordered her. As soon as the words left my lips she did as I told her, even if she was grumping the whole time. Surprise, surprise, Danny was right and the unknown werewolf was Jackson "A bit far from London, isn't it?" I sassed him.

"A pleasure as always" he sassed back, gaining a hiss from Malia "Relax princess, I have no intention of hurting your Alpha" he snapped at my beta "I just want my own revenge from Gerard".

"What about your parents?" I asked him.

"I've told them everything" he answered still on his place on the floor "They accepted me and moved rapidly back to Beacon Hills so I can stay where my anchor is… and maybe future pack" I was surprised by this new Jackson; it seems like his time as a kanima made him more grounded "But maybe not… do you have a place in your pack for me?" he asked me. This time I wasn't only surprised, I was shocked "I know I owe you an apology, you were only trying to help me, even after so many years of treating you like crap, and the only thing I did was get your father fired and put a warrant order against you. Which my father made sure no one will never know about, your record is clean so don't worry".

"Wow… just, wow" I said stupidly "Shut it Danny!" I growled at my animal partner who was snickering next to me, not even having the decency of trying to hide it "Just help your best friend and new pack member up, we need to torture a son of a bitch like yesterday".

I huffed and turned around. Why does everything have to be so complicated?! I complained in my head as I headed towards Gerard's room.
