The Midnight Prowl
Chapter 1
The Dark Blue Gem

RAVEN

MY NAME IS Raven M. Darkenrov, and I am 16 years old.
Now let me tell you a story, So I was at my best friend Twilight’s house for a visit cause she had something important to tell me, I walked up to her front steps. I knocked on the door. She opened it and said, "We need to talk!" I just smiled at her and said “Always to the point aren't you?” as I walked in Twi’s house was the cleanest thing I ever saw the red curtains draped neatly across her couch, her dark red floor glinted in the light of her Auburn dining room - which by the way was presented perfectly. Twilight walked over to me and I asked
“What’s wrong?” , "So David told me that his friend Mystyke was in town and that she is coming over soon, did you know about this?” She said. Then suddenly we heard a crash in one of the upstairs guest rooms, I sighed, “What now?” As we ran up the staircase I saw a dark blue gem sitting on the floor, the ceiling had a gaping hole the size of a medium-sized rock.
“Holy asteroids!” I swore as I ran over to the mysterious gem, “Look Twi, a gemstone! For the first time since I've known, her Twilight looked at me as though I was out of my freaking mind. “What are you talking about I don’t see anything-'' she said, her words cut short by what she saw Twilight stood stock still gaping.”
What is it Twi.?”I asked. “Raven you’re glowing!” Twilight said shocked. When I touched the stone I felt this deep burning sensation in my fingers and chest then suddenly there was a bright dark blue flash and I went into darkness, my unconsciousness covering me like a cloak.
When I came to, Twi told me that I was floating and glowing with midnight darkness. I wore a really strange armor with Midnight's face on it. I looked around but it's nowhere to be found. “Ah, my head.” I groaned trying to not pass out again but when I looked at my shield, there it was, glowing softly in Moonight’s open mouth.
“Raven are you okay?” I just looked at her and said “What just happened?” Then a strange Japanese girl with jade eyes appeared out from behind Twilight and put a hand to her chest and just looked at me in shock and said “Raven what in the world was that and why are you just sitting there next to a giant cat? What’s going on!?” Then a flood of darkness overcame me once more.
