Chapter 1: Late research on a cold winter night
Note: This is a story based on a super secret plot I've hidden from all my friends until now. Hope you enjoy!

River sat on her bed. She looked out at the starry night sky thinking. She had brown hair to her waist, and a pair of thin rimmed glasses framed her brown eyes. She wore a black coat over a black shirt and dark jeans. She sighed, watching the little snowflakes flutter down like white cotton. She wondered what to do. "Moonriver's awfully quiet tonight." She said. In fact the entire dorm was quiet. Not even the sound of someone playing video games in the living room was present. She lay back, looking at the skylight directly over her bed. The walls were painted a shade of gray, and the windows were dusted with snow. Things were scattered all over the floor. Here a pile of clothes, there some papers with homework on them, and over there a book on alchemy. River wondered why tonight seemed so out of place with others.
Moonriver sat in the middle of a mess of papers, pictures, pens, pencils, and Tor knows what else. She was reading something and scribbling notes on a sheet of paper next to her. She had long silver hair, and equally silver eyes. She wore a black cloak, and a gray dress. She looked at the clock. Midnight. She looked back at the paper rereading her notes. She mumbled something, and then looked at an old looking piece of paper. "I almost have it." She said. The walls of the room were painted black, alchemy circles drawn on almost every inch of wall. The floor was a dark gray. Moonriver stretched. "Time for a break." She said walking over to the bed, which was also black and grays. She laid down, and almost immediately fell asleep. Silvery tears formed in her eyes, and slipped down her cheek.
River got up from the bed. She walked into the dark hallway. She looked at Moonriver's closed door. She walked over to it, but hesitated at the door knob. She decided to knock. No answer. "Moonriver are you awake?" she said softly, trying not to wake the others. No answer. River walked away from the door, but it was like a strange energy pulled her back. River turned the knob quietly, incase Moonriver was asleep. She walked in, avoiding the papers. She saw the silver tears rolling down Moonriver's cheek. "Oh Moonriver." She said softly. "I wish you could get over him." She looked down at one of the papers. Then a word on the paper caught her eye. Human transmutation. River couldn't move, somehow just the mere sight of this word froze her.
Outside the snow piled deeper. A black wolf walked through the snow towards the dorms. He stopped by Moonriver's window. He was Dark Moon. He looked at River. He walked through the wall somehow. "I need her to do this, so you're going to have to forget this for a little longer." He said his voice malevolent, and taunting. "Y-you." River stuttered. She wavered a bit. She fell to the ground unconscious. He picked her up. "I would leave you here, but Moonriver would suspect something." He whispered.
