Chapter 22: Getting ready for wedding/training

School was finally out. I still did homework for the teachers even though I couldn't' attend I was able to graduate with my class. Now that school is out we were planning out our wedding. It was between investigating dad's murderer. I went with my mom, sister Azula, and Aqua to look at wedding dresses. I chose not to get one pure white but I wanted one with a blue tint. Loki knew what I wanted in the wedding so he told me just to worry about the dress and guest list nothing else.

I was shopping at a bridal shop. That sells wedding dresses of all colors. Any of the dresses were able to get made with the color I wanted they said. I was relieved. "Ok mom, Azula, and Aqua? For a fashion show?" We all giggled so we all went our separate ways to look for dresses we might like. "Oh I like this one. Oh and this one." I took the ones I liked into the changing room with me. Then the others brought the ones they liked in. Luckily it was only one each. I tried the one sister liked first and came out. It was off the shoulder sweat heart neckline A line dress it shimmered in the light. It had some lace on the first half the second half shimmer. Next was the one my mom liked I put the dress on and walked out. It was also a sweet heart neckline but the dress was more flowy and the top pot was shimmery the bottom was flowy. Then I walked back and tried Aqua's choice on. It was more of a Celtic wedding dress with a sweet heart on the edges of the sweet heart were a sliver color lace the bottom of the sweetheart around the waist was sliver lace with a blue gem in the middle. The skirt was between a ball gown and an A line dress. "Oh wow that does look gorgeous way to go Aqua." Said mom. Then before I went back in I said, "I loved all of your choices I have two more to try on and I will pick 2 dressed to get fixed." They agreed then I went to try mine on. I walked out with my hooded wedding dress that had a sweetheart line and the bottom had sparkles and top string but it was white which would change and the hood would be a different color but I would take the sleeves off as well. "Oh wow. That looks good too." Then I explained what I would do if I chose this one. "Oh that would be even better." "I have one more. Now the finale of dresses. I put the dress on and was proud of it I think I might want this one as my wedding dress. I walked out it was a vintage Celtic wedding dress white pale blue medieval bridal gown scoop neckline Corset long bell sleeves. "Wow I think this is the best one. What do you think Aqua?" said mom. "I thinks so too. What about you Azula?" "hmm. Turn around big sis." "Oh right." I turned around slowly and she said, "Hang on a second. Be right back." After awhile she came back and said, "You need something." She put the crown on my head and I smiled in the mirror. "Its perfect. Oh and as for the dancing I will take moms pick since its flowy and easy to move in." So I finished trying on dresses and we took them to the person to fix for the wedding in 6 months.

After all the dress trying on I was exhausted we went out to eat then I went over to moms. Aqua went home and I walked with mom. When we got to moms place my little cousins surrounded me. "Ok little ones. I just got here. I will play with you later. I'm tired." So I went to lay down and rest a bit.

A little while later I talked to mom about who we should invite to the wedding. After all that I played with my little cousins then I headed back home.

"I'm home everyone." "Oh your back! Did you have dinner over there?" "Yeah I'm going to bed I'm exhausted." "Ok then get some rest." Said Aqua. The twins are now 1 year old. Loki came home and said, "Did Akela come home yet?" "Yeah she went to bed early. She said she had dinner at her moms." "OK I'll go check on her make sure she is Ok." He went in the room and felt her forehead which was warm. "You might have a slight fever from over doing it. Get some sleep." He kissed her forehead and headed back to join the others. "She might have a slight fever she should be fine in the morning I hope."

The Next morning I woke up feeling loads better. I went out still in my pj's half asleep and saw auntie making breakfast. "Hey auntie Aqua is Loki around?" "Yeah he is out in the back with your uncle Leo working right now." "OK I will get a shower and head out then." "Ok breakfast will be ready soon." So I got in the shower cleaned up and got dressed. Then I headed to the dining room where I saw Loki and Leo sitting. "Oh there you guys are. I was wondering where you guys went." "Oh we were in the back working is all. Its all good." Said Uncle. "Oh how is the wedding stuff going Loki?" "Oh I need your opinion on then venue. Where would be a good place to have it? Your family is coming right? "Yeah even the wolf ones." "Ok good. Let me see the guest list after breakfast ok?" "Yeah mom and I worked on it. Oh and I picked my 3 brides made and my maid of honor. My maid of honor is my sister Azula As for the other 3 are my sisters as well. The quiet one is one Chai even though she can't turn human I am making her one. I plan on having all of them be in there wolf form standing next to me. that way Chai doesn't feel left out. I am also having Lexi and Shai be my other 2. "Ok sounds good. I'm having my best friend be my best man. What do you think of Tanner being my best man?" "Yeah he would look good next to you. What about your other 3 men oh I have a few wolf men you will meet them soon enough. They live in the wolf village after all. Yes we are only inviting wolf friends and family even those that don't like Kira is welcome leo and Aqua those we can trust can come." "Ok cool. Go ahead and make your list then, me mom and my sister Azula will work on the invitations." "Yeah sure."

We finally finished eating and I showed my Loki the guest list. "Hmm. I see you don't have much just you mom dad uncle elder and siblings. A couple of your wolf friends." "Well I couldn't decide who to invite else I don't know that many people who are wolves. Its ok. Its fine. Plus it won't matter anyway since they won't be separated they will be all in one area." "Yeah your right." "OK I'm going to write who I want then I will give you the list back. I will hang onto it for a bit." "Oh have you seen Drake? I haven't seen him in awhile." "Oh he is out with his mom for a bit he should be back soon." "Oh ok cool. I will read until he gets back." "Sure." So I went to my room to read.

A few minutes later Drake came in with his mom. "Hello we are back." Said Drake. I marked my place in my book and came out to greet him. "Hello Drake." "Oh good morning Akela. Did you sleep well?" "Yes I did thank you. What about you?" "I slept good too. Ok want to do some training now?" "Yes please lets go. It would be a good break for wedding stuff." So we went outside where no one could see us except for those who already know. "OK show me what you remember from last time." I closed my eyes and thought of something that makes me upset. I still had a calm face and ice covered both fists. "Very good. You have been practicing a calm face. Good for you." "

"I have never met anyone with a power before I guess first time for everything right?" said Drake. "Well it's the same for me. I just recently found out about moms then yours and now I might have another power. Its crazy. I don't know what to do. If my body can even handle all of that." "Woah calm down. Deep breath." Loki looked through the window and saw Akela was having trouble and went outside to check on her.

"Is she ok?" said Loki. "Yeah I'm ok Loki. We were just talking about powers then I started freaking out when I knew I was going to have more than my body was going to handle. Its not his fault." "Ok then. Is it ok if I watch you guys train for a bit longer?" "Yeah if she is up for it?" "Are you ready to try shooting now? Or do you think you need more training on the fists still?" "I'm good lets try shooting now. OK safest place for that is the forest then. We don't' want to accidently shoot people and hurt them." "Haha you know me well enough." "Yeah with your sense of training I would think so." We got to an open area of the forest and Loki was there too. "OK now do the same thing where the ice is on your fist start off with that." "OK sure." I closed my eyes and ice was on my fists. "OK good. Now what I want you to do after that is picture someone that you want to hit or someone who is mean to you and pretend you are hitting them." "Haha ok I know just the person." I closed my eyes for a few moments then opened them and started shooting. "Ok very good lets stop here for now. How are you feeling?" "You know I actually feel great now. I think if I ever need to calm down I can pretend I am hitting the person with my ice powers." "Haha I do that too. My dad told me that once I mastered my ice power that I could do that and I still do that." "Good now I have a way to vent my anger. Loki if you can't find me I'm probably in the forest venting my anger with my ice powers ok?" "Haha ok then Akela. Lets wait until you master it first. You look pretty tired." "Yeah I am a little bit. Its noon now right? We have been doing this for 4 hours now I'm hungry." "Haha yeah your always hungry Akela." "Hmph don't make me shoot ice at you Mr Loki." "Hey Hey now take it easy on me." "Never." Then we raced each other back home.

By the time we got in the yard I couldn't move my legs anymore. Loki turned around and picked me up princess style and we ran up to the house. Drake followed. "Haha practicing for carrying her down the isle." "Oh shut up."

"We are home Leo and Aqua." I said. "Oh hey little ones." I picked up little Luna. Loki picked up Orion. "Hey you two can you put them in their highchairs for me? Thanks." We put them in their high chairs and helped them eat. Little Luna kept spitting out her food. "Hey look at your brother he is eating his food. Your brother is going to get a full tummy. If you don't eat you won't get a full tummy." "Here have her try this if she wont eat this." "Ok thanks Aqua." "Oh this smells yummy. Open wide Luna." She finally ate. "Yay your eating Luna. Good girl." After they ate we cleaned them up and put them in the play pen. Then we ate our lunch. When we were halfway done with ours the babies fell asleep. "Aw tuckered out babies. I can't wait to have one of my own." "Oh you should wait it's a pain in the but." "Haha yeah well one of these days I will get used to it."

Finally night came. "Goodnight auntie and uncle see you in the morning." "Night you two." I went to my room and Loki went to his. I got my pj's on and got into bed. I heard my door open. "Loki?" "Yeah its me. Ready for bed?" "Yeah I am. Are you ok?" "Yeah just checking if your ok and to say goodnight properly." "Yeah I feel fine just a little tired from all that training." "Yeah its hard work I bet. Anyway get some sleep. Goodnight." We gave each other a long goodnight kiss then pulled away. "Wow your getting better and better Loki. I can't wait to do more with you." "Yeah well lets wait until we are married ok?" "Yes I know goodnight I love you." "Love you too."

The middle of the night I had a nightmare. I was dreaming about the same thing I did before about Loki being in a cell and me trying to get him out. I must have screamed in my sleep because I woke up and saw Loki next to me. "Loki?" "Yeah its me. Are you ok?" "I-I don't know. I had that dream again. I have been having it more often these days. I hope its only a dream and won't really happen." Leo and Aqua went to check on her and saw she was ok because Loki was there. They went back in their rooms to sleep.

"Can you stay here with me tonight?" "Yeah human form or wolf form?" human form this time. I want to snuggle with you." "Ok sure." He got on the bed with me and we slept in a hugging position.

The next morning I woke up with Loki still hugging me. "Hmm." "Morning sleeping beauty." "Morning Loki. How long have you been awake?" "Long enough to watch you sleep." "Oh you know how embarrassing that is weirdo." "I know that's why I do it." He kissed me on the cheek and went out to the dining room. I got dressed and headed out as well. "Morning uncle Leo and Aunt Aqua." "Morning Akela did you sleep well?" "Well I'm sure you heard me but I had a nightmare. After Loki calmed me down I was fine." "Well that's good." Said Aqua. "Oh Loki are you and uncle out to investigate again?" "Yeah about 10 he is supposed to pick me up so in about 2 hours." "Ok then. After breakfast can you and I take a walk?" "that's a good idea." So we ate our food then headed out.
