Spoilers for books 9 and under. On with the story!
Kira idly followed her mom through the antique store, rolling her emerald eyes every time she "oohed" and "ahhed". Kira was about to ask when they were leaving when a shining object caught her eye. She raised an eyebrow at the amethyst and silver necklace that a salesman was polishing. He noticed the 12 year old girl eyeing his merchandise.
"So you have and interest in this?" The man motioned to the necklace. Kira nodded. "Well, your in luck. "'Cause this piece of….ancient….er….beauty, happens to be on sale for only 30.00."
Kira's eyes shone. "I'll take it!" She pulled out exact change from her jeans and put on the counter. The man smiled and handed her the necklace. "Thank you very much sir!"
The man smirked. "No, thank you." With that last sentence he turned away to dust an old vase. Kira skipped happily back to her mom.
"Oh, there you are, Kira. It's time to go." Kira sighed with relief as her mom gathered her shopping bags and headed out to the car. Kira twisted a lock of raven black hair while fingered her newly-found jewelry simultaneously.

That night Kira sat in bed looking at the curious markings on her necklace. On the surface of the amethyst, there was an owl with outstretched wings, the feather tips brushing the edge of the silver. Kira just shrugged and flipped the light switch. She rolled over fell asleep instantly.

Kira blinked and sat up. Where was her room? She thought. Kira was sitting on a cliff overlooking a vast ocean. She opened her beak and yawned….wait….her BEAK?! She screeched involuntarily, looking herself over. Stretching out her arms, Kira discovered that they were now wings with brown and tanish feathers. The same colored feathers covered her chest and back. Her legs were featherless and ended in talons. "I-I-I'm an owl?!" Kira shreed. Checking herself again, she confirmed that she was now a Burrowing Owl. Oddly enough, her eyes were still the same sharp emerald green. And as if things couldn't get any worse, Kira saw another owl coming straight towards her.
That chapter was more or less a prologue. So stay tuned for the next chapter! Please review!
