Chapter Seventeen

Kaze's eyes were narrowed as she stood across from me. I felt the hairs on the back of my neck rise as she continued to look at me like that. Finally after what was sure to have been thirty minutes, she spoke, "Tell me what do you know about your wolf form?"

"Last I checked, it was the size of a mastiff," My eyebrows scrunched up as I tried to think of the details, "My tail has a whip-like point. My fur is mostly black with a few grey markings that weren't too visible. My eyes are a greenish gold color. My ears are longer than any grey wolf's," Kaze nodded her head, "Ice seems to gather around me and Hermione has commented on my body being really warm,"

Kaze nodded again, "Anything else?"

"Not that I know of," I admitted wondering why she wanted to know all of that.

"It seems to me that your zoan form is fairly easy to guess," She placed her hands on her hips, "The question is why you haven't figured it out,"

"Hermione and I checked the books about wolves that Hogwarts had," I said with slightly narrowed eyes, "It's not my fault none of them called out to me," I ran my fingers through my hair, "We did narrow it down a bit,"

"Oh?" She looked at me in slight amusement, "Do tell,"

Deciding to ignore how much she was pissing me off, I replied, "Northern wolves. I'm not a dire wolf that much we know. I'm not a Frost fire wolf either,"

She nodded her head, "Well I guess it isn't that easy since there are quite a magical wolf breeds."

"Do you know what I am?" I asked and she nodded, "And you won't tell me because..."

"It's tradition," I pouted at her, "Now think do any words call out to you when you think of your wolf?"

I frowned and tried to think. Ice travels around me, but that doesn't really scream at me. What else? Frost follows me wherever I go and comes out of my mouth whenever I breath...Frost? Opening my mouth, I was about to speak when something slipped through my mind...

Frost gathered around me and I grinned up at Shanks causing the man to chuckle. He patted my head and said, "Kid you're doing really well. It seems that fruit is the...

"Okami-Okami no mi: Model Frost wolf," I murmured softly causing Kaze to grin at me, "I'm a frost wolf?"

"Yup," She grinned at me, "Good now we get to play around with your abilities!"

I sneezed as Leena opened the library door and muttered, "How long has it been since someone cleaned that place?"

Leena looked at me sheepishly, "It's been awhile since most of us have private libraries."

I groaned softly as Leena walked inside and waved her hand. The windows in the room opened up as a huge gust of wind blasted through. The dust immediatly fled and house elves appeared to set everything right. I looked around and had to whistle at how large the place was. It was twice the size of the Hogwarts library with multiple floors. I eyed the room in curiosity while asking, "So why are we here?"

"We're going to be going to be picking up some books both on Frost wolves and on runes," She replied while running a hand through her hair, "The frost wolves because it'll give you an idea of what you can do and help you figure out some attacks you could do. The runes will mostly focus on the basics, but they'll be for later,"

"Why later?" I frowned at her and she smiled.

"Runes require good penmanship since they could explode if even the slightest thing about them is off," She explained making me nod, "Now let's get to searching,"

I looked at the library before muttering, "This is going to take all day."

"Probably," Leena agreed with a small laugh, "At least Kaze won't be beating you into the ground little Storm,"

"Oh joy," I groaned at the thought.

Hector held out a clear crystal ball, "Here you go."

"What is this for?" I asked taking the ball and noting that it didn't weigh that much.

"We're going to start training your ice magic," He explained making me both confused and giddy.

"Okay, but what's the ball going to do?" I eyed it curiously since it didn't feel like anything other than a normal stone.

Hector chuckled and set his hand on my head, "Frostling this ball is made of a specific type of crystal that resists ice magic."

My eyebrows came together as I tried to figure out what that meant, "So what?"

"I want you to cover the ball in ice as thick as possible," He explained making me look at him with a raised eyebrow, "If you do that, I'll teach your first ice magic spell,"

My giddiness returned and I immediatly reached for my magic. It responded quickly and I funneled it into the crystal ball. I frowned upon seeing nothing happen and muttered, "What the hell?"

"You'll have to do better than that Frostling," Hector chuckled with a smile, "Remember the crystal is ice magic resistant,"

Kaze patted the log beside her, "Hit it."

"Why?" I stared at the log and then at Kaze.

"Hit the log," She repeated without answering me.

"Why would I do that?" I rephrased my question in hopes of getting an actual answer.

"Hit the log pup," She replied making my eyebrow twitch.

"If I hit the damn log, will you answer my question?" My irritation got the better of me.

"Yes," She moved away from the log as I moved towards it.

Grumbling under my breath about stupid foxes, I curled my fingers into a fist like I was shown by Hermione. Cocking my fist back, I took a step forward and slammed my fist into the wood. Immediately pain lanced up my arm from my hand causing me to yelp and jump back holding my hand, "God fucking damn it!" I looked at Kaze as I held my hand, "Why the hell did you want me to do that?!"

"I wanted to see if you knew how to punch," She answered with a slight grin causing a growl to erupt from me, "You at least know how to throw a punch and it has some power behind it, but not a lot,"

"Why the hell did you need to see if I knew how to punch?" I demand while trying to ignore how much my hand hurt.

"Because I'm the one that has to teach you how to fight," She replied making me look at her in shock.

"Teach...me...how...to...fight?" I murmured slowly wondering if I had heard her right.

"Yup," She nodded her head while leaning against the log.

"Why?" I asked trying to figure it out.

"Because you won't always be able to fight with your magic or with your animal form," She replied while standing up straight and walking over to me, "Snow wants me to teach you how to fight since I started out a lot like you,"

"What do you mean?" I looked at the woman in confusion.

She shook her head as she reached out and grabbed my hurting hand making me gasp in pain, "Maybe another time," She flexed my hand this way and that making pain shoot up my arm, "You'll need to head up to see Hector since you either sprained or broke a few of your fingers. You definitely managed to bruise your knuckles."

I laid down next to Boreas after dinner and stared up at the ceiling. He was curled up on my chest and his eyes were closed making me wonder if he was asleep. Had it not been for the emotions running through our bond, I would have believed that. I spoke for the first time since we had curled up together, "What do you think Kaze meant?"

"I do not know," Boreas replied with a small sigh, "It could have meant anything,"

"Does that mean we shouldn't trust her?" I asked feeling slightly worried.

"We will trust her," Boreas murmured after a few moments, "If only because of Leena and Lady Brigid trust her," He sighed softly, "But keep her at arms length for now,"

"At least until we know she won't screw us over somehow," I finished that thought.

He chuckled softly, "While not in the words I would use, yes." He opened one of his eyes and stared at me, "Sleep. Tomorrow will be worse."

"Joy," I muttered sarcastically.

"Remember that you're training as hard as possible to be able to protect Hermione and Luna," Boreas murmured as he closed his eye, "Think of them and time will pass quickly,"

"I hope you're right," I grumbled softly before trying to fall asleep.

"Dangerous no?" A voice asked somewhere close by.

"Yes. The beast looks like it could tear a sea king to shreds," Another, male, voice agreed.

"But why did you take it?" A third, female voice, asked with a slight whine.

"Because it'll draw in those pirates," The first voice, a male, laughed, "The beast was traveling with them, so they'll probably want it back,"

"Ooh!" The female cheered, "Can I play with the captain? He's rather easy on the eyes,"

"Of course," The second chuckled, "Trafalgar Law seems like he would be a good toy for you my dear,"

"Oh Hiro," The female shrieked.

"Hiro," The first spoke in a stern tone, "Do not assume you can just give our prize away,"

The second snorted, "He's going to be executed, so why does it matter?"

The first sighed, "Lexi go and see if you can find those pirates. Hiro stay here with the beast and keep it down."

Foot steps walked off before I heard a pair walk close to me. A hand settled on my head and the second voice, Hiro, spoke, "You're a rather beautiful beast and a beautiful girl. It's a shame that we're going to kill you once we get that captain of yours," A burning feeling emanated from the top of my head as something seemed to slip down his hands and over my muzzle, "I would have loved keeping you around if only for entertainment, but Thomas seems intent on killing you," I let out a low whine as the burning feeling touched my nose and the feeling of liquid brushed against my nose, "I'll make it quick once Thomas says we're done with you."

I growled deeply as my nose burned something fierce as the liquid went up my nose, "Law won't let you get away with this. He's stronger than you think."

Hiro let out a laugh and said, "So the beast can speak! It's a shame that I won't get to continue this conversation. Nighty night!"

Consciousness started to slip from my grip as shivers ran through my body. I used what strength I had to curl into a ball in an attempt to lessen the pain. Come on Law. I believe in you. I know you'll find me, but hurry...

"Sit down," Kaze ordered, "Anywhere is fine,"

I sat down on a pillow across from Kaze. She was sitting with her legs crossed and her hands on her knees. Her twin tails laid motionlessly behind her. Boreas hopped off my shoulder and claimed the pillow next to me. I looked around the room and noticed that it was fairly dark with only candles lit to chase away the darkness. It was also a bit warmer than outside. Something made the bees in my head buzz and the hair on the back of my neck rise. Feeling that, I asked, "What's going on?"

"You're going to meditate," She answered as the flames from the candles flickered and danced off her face, "You will not be looking for your magical core,"

"Then what-" I began only for her to cut me off with a raised hand.

"You will be searching for your mindscape," She frowned at me, "You will not find it at first, but you must find it in order to truly understand your instincts and control them,"

"How do I find it?" I asked causing her to sigh.

"Meditate," She looked at me in slight irritation, "You'll meditate until you find it,"

"What do I do when I find it?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"You'll know," She sighed again and closed her eyes, "Meditate now. Talk later,"

I opened my mouth to speak, but Boreas gave me a look that said do it. Sighing, I closed my eyes and began to meditate wondering how long this would take.

I glared at the halfway covered crystal ball and growled softly in frustration, "Why the hell isn't it working?"

Hector chuckled making me turn my glare towards him, "Anger and frustration will not help you in this endeavor."

Grumbling under my breath as the ice melted off the crystal, I closed my eyes and concentrated on the magic inside of me. It pushed and pulled at my attention while flowing right beside my blood. It was like a wolf chasing some form of prey only to switch it's target after a few moments. Frowning at that, I wondered if that could be why I hadn't gotten it yet. Smiling slightly at having some kind of plan, I tried to force my magic to flow in a single direction only for it to ignore me after a few seconds. I growled under my breath and tried again. The same thing happened over and over again. Muttering a curse, I set the ball down and glared at it, "God damn it! What am I doing wrong?"

Hector chuckled and set his hand on my head. I peaked up at him and he said, "This is something you must figure out on your own."

I pouted at him for not answering my question before sighing and grabbing the ball again. Okay Winter you can do this. Remember that you're doing this for Hermione and Luna. You need to get as strong and as in control of your magic as possible. Relax and focus.

Leena smiled as she looked over my handwriting, "Well it's getting better."

"Still looks like the same chicken scratch to me," Kaze commented as she bit into an apple.

"No one asked you," I snapped causing the woman to snort.

"Don't give a shit brat," She grinned at me.

I growled at her and grabbed my quill once more. Ignoring the annoying woman that has seen fit to beat me into the ground every day before dinner, I focused on shaping my words carefully. All I needed to do was ignore the woman until it was time for her to train me.

I groaned as my butt once again met the ground. Kaze stood not far away with a book in hand. She smirked at me and asked, "Is that all you got?"

I glared at her in response, "Fuck you."

"Maybe when you're older," My face immediatly flushed, "Give me twenty,"

"Twenty what?" I wondered if it was going to be another perverted comment.

"Twenty push ups," She clarified.

"Twenty push ups," I murmured softly, "Why?"

"You need to train and this is beginners training," Kaze replied, "Now hurry up! I'll add more if you don't get on with it,"

I glared at my ceiling and growled harshly. Boreas sighed from his place on my chest and murmured, "Calm down."

"It feels like nothing I'm doing is making any sort of impact!" My fingers gripped the soft blanket covering me.

"You are in the first week," He reminded me with a small sigh, "You won't have improved much just yet. At the end of the summer, you'll definitely be stronger,"

I groaned softly and turned my head to see the statue I had gotten sitting on my bedside table. It gleamed in the faint moon light. Frowning, I reached out and grasped it in my hand. It was still the same light weight and it's magic brushed across my own. I ran my fingers across the statues back and murmured, "What exactly are you?"

Nothing answered me prompting me to sigh softly before replacing it on my bedside table. I relaxed my body against the warm sheets and sighed softly as sleep claimed me

"So," He smirked at me as my face flushed red, "You like me,"

I glared up at him, "Of course I like you," I turned my head away, "You're my best friend."

He was silent and still before I felt fingers on my chin. My head was moved back to it's former position as Law's thumb stroked my cheek. He stared into my eyes as he murmured, "It's more than that."

Closing my eyes for a second, I was surprised to feel something soft touch my lips. My eyes snapped open and I found that my lips were locked with his. My eyes slid closed as I began to kiss him back.

"So I get Saturday to myself?" I asked staring at Lady Brigid in surprise, "Why?"

"We do not want you to overwork yourself," She answered with a small smile, "Do as you see fit,"

"Okay..." I trailed off wondering what exactly I could do.

Hector took my attention however as he said, "Frostling, I think it's time that we talked about that Ethereal."

"Ah yes," Lady Brigid looked at me, "What was his name?"

"Gabriel," I murmured softly, "Gabriel D. Valor,"

"And he called you his sister?" She asked and gained a nod, "Perhaps we should summon him to us,"

"How would we do that?" I asked with a slight frown, "He didn't exactly leave a way to contact him,"

"Did he say anything about showing up after the events of the chamber?" Hector asked making me frown.

"Uh..." I closed my eyes and tried to focus, "I think he said he would pop in once he got everything settled or something,"

I ran a hand through my hair and looked at Hector as he asked, "Ready Frostling?"

"How do we know if this'll work?" I asked feeling nervous.

"Because if what he said was true, he will come if you call for him," Hector replied with a calming smile, "Go on. I'll be right here,"

Closing my eyes, I grasped onto my magic and pushed it towards my vocal chords. I shivered at the feeling, but brushed it off as I took a deep breath before shouting, "GABRIEL!"

Nothing happened for a few minutes and I turned to tell Hector that it was a lost cause when something warmer than normal seemed to fill the air. I gasped softly as my magic receded and my eyes focused on the spot in front of me. Warm golden light seemed to gather around that one spot before condensing. I covered my eyes as a bright flash of light burst forth from the middle of the golden light. I only uncovered them when I heard, "Well this is a surprise."

"Gabriel?" I eyed the angel-boy with slight surprise.

"Yup you did call me after all," He grinned at me before looking at Hector, "Who's the old feather duster?"

Hector snorted as he walked forward, "My name is Hector of the Windseeker clan and Winter's healer as assigned by her mother."

Gabriel's eyes narrowed and he asked, "What the hell do you want with me?"

"I wish to speak with you," Hector replied as he reached us and placed a hand on my head, "I wish to know how you know Frostling,"

Gabriel's eyes narrowed even further before he looked at me and asked a question that surprised me, "Do you trust him?"

"With my life," Came out almost automatically.

"Then I will answer your questions if you answer mine," Gabriel replied making Hector nod.

"So..." I trailed off while staring at Gabriel.

"So?" He looked at me in amusement.

"You're an Ethereal?" I asked while looking at his wings.

"Specifically the angelic variety," He flexed his wings.

"And you're like a brother to me?" I asked trying to comprehend all this.

"Yup," He looked at me in concern, "You feeling alright?"

"My heads starting to hurt and I wondering how stuff like this is normal," I replied while reaching up to rub my temples.

Gabriel let out a laugh and shook his head, "Yeah we're not exactly what's considered normal by polite society," He shrugged his shoulder, "Who wants to be normal anyway?"

I frowned at him before murmuring, "Yeah."

He smiled and asked, "Do you wanna know one of the things that stuck with us since we lost you?"

"I'll bite," I didn't have much else to do, "What stuck with all of you? How many of you are there?"

"First I'll answer the second question," He closed his eyes for a moment as he took a sip of tea, "There are 12 of us including you,"

"12," The number felt right for whatever reason.

"Yup," He opened his eyes and looked at me, "What stuck with us were the words you said as you were taken away," He smiled softly, "You said, 'I don't give a crap about what happens to me so long as you idiots are okay. I know that you'll find me eventually, but until then, train your asses off so that I won't kick them so badly next time we meet,'"

I giggled softly upon hearing that, "I sound like I'm pretty scrappy."

"You are," He laughed softly, "You kicked all of our asses most of the time because you were so damn fast we couldn't really hit you,"

"Really?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

He nodded with a grin, "Yeah you sucked at defense since your body would never be able to take too many hits because of your malnourishment."

I really liked the sound of the person he was talking about before realizing something, "You do realize I'm probably weaker than most of you right?"

"Sure, but that's because you weren't training constantly," He waved his hand at me, "You'll catch up eventually and it'll go faster once you remember everything, so don't worry too much about it,"

I frowned at him, "What...What if I can't be the girl you knew?"

He smiled a soft smile and his eyes softened, "We'll accept you for whoever you are. It's what a family does after all."

"All of us are family?" The word sounded foreign to my lips.

"Yup," He continued to smile, "We're a mess of brothers and sisters though some of those relationships aren't exactly like that,"

I frowned slightly as I tried to figure out why that would be before blushing softly as I murmured, "The other type of love right?"

"Yup," He nodded his head with a frown on his face, "It's disgusting to see a few of them give each other goo goo eyes,"

I nodded my head while wondering if getting my memories back would hurt, "Will getting the memories back hurt?"

"Kinda," He smiled sheepishly at me, "I'm not too good at figuring stuff like this out, but from what one of us said, it'll be like a headache,"

"Joy," I muttered and closed my eyes.

"Don't worry it'll be fine!" He assured me with a slight grin, "Trust me!"

"Classic words that often lead to death and destruction," I muttered hearing him huff, "Joy,"

End for now. I know it's been awhile, but stuff came up and I got a new idea!
