The sun was shining brightly in the sky even though it was still only morning. A figure stepped out of a small cottage nestled in a large open field. The figure was a girl…a very odd looking girl. She had very pale skin for someone who lived in the country. Her hair, which was the unusual color of violet, was hidden under the hood of her deep blue cloak. She walked so smoothly along the path that she almost seemed to glide. The girl walked over a small, stone bridge as birds flew around her head. Ravens. The girl stopped and watched them for awhile before continuing on. Not so far away from her cottage was a quaint little town. The cobbled streets were filled with people rushing about, going about their daily chores. Raven, the odd looking girl, soon joined the crowd. She weaved in and out of the people, moving deliberately. Occasionally she would catch someone's eye and they would turn away in fear. Raven sighed sadly.

I should be used to this by now. Every time I come here people run away from me. But I guess I can't blame them…

"I heard that if you look in her eyes, you'll turn to stone."

"I heard she murdered her parents."

Raven stopped walking as she overheard these whispers. She scanned the crowd for the source of the cruel words. Her eyes fell upon two scantily dressed girls. Kitten and Jynx. Kitten was petite and blonde but had a loud mouth that made her head seem bigger when she used it. Jynx had pink hair and skin just like Raven's, but she was much better at interacting with people. This was obvious by the crowd of boys that always hung around her and Kitten. Not to say Raven didn't have her fair share of admirers, they were just to scared to do anything but admire her silently and from afar. They would certainly not dream of approaching her and offering to carry her basket, as a few boys were fighting over doing for Kitten and Jynx at the moment. Raven couldn't stand them. They hated her as well

"What were you saying about me?" Raven asked them angrily.

Kitten shrank back but Jynx just smirked at her.

"Nothing Raven!" She responded sweetly. It was a smile that did not reach her eyes. She and Kitten collapsed into giggles. Raven wanted to cover her ears to block out the shrieks. She felt her anger rise and her powers rise with it. She gasped and squeezed her eyes shut fighting all instinct to lash out with magic. She hurried down the street before something bad happened to someone. At last, she reached her destination. Mumbo's BookShop. She came here almost everyday. She hated the bookseller but adored the little shop. Shelves lined the walls, running all the way to the ceiling. Books were stacked this way and that in no particular order. One could get lost in the mountains of literature. Raven pushed open the door to find her brothers already there.

"What!" Robin exclaimed angrily. "It's in the next town? That's miles away!"

Mumbo, the blue-skinned bookseller grinned like a madman. Everyone knew how much he loved to irritate his customers and play tricks on them. Raven was exempt from this practice only because he was afraid of her.

"Calm down Rob!" said Raven's other brother Victor. "Look, Mumbo, just show us on the map how to…"

POOF!

Mumbo had transformed the boys' map into a rubber chicken that came to life and bit Robin on the nose. Robin seized the chicken with a loud yell and started to strangle it when Raven pointedly cleared her throat, announcing her presence.

"Oh Raven! We didn't see you!" Victor exclaimed. "Robin, put down the chicken we have to go and get ready."

"Are you guys going somewhere?"

"Yeah, we have to go pick up a…machine part in the next town. But we're going home first. Are you going to come back with us?"

"No. You go on ahead. I'll see you there later."

Victor smiled at her and proceeded to drag a swollen nosed and angry Robin out of the shop.

If all three were standing next to each other, one would never guess that Robin, Raven and Victor were siblings. Raven was pale with purple eyes and hair. Robin was very short with jet-black hair that always stood up in spikes. Victor was tall, dark-skinned and half-machine. After an accident when he was younger had left his body mangled, half of Victor's body parts were replaced with machine parts. Though the three were brothers and sister, the truth was that they were not related by blood. All three were orphans that had been adopted by the same family. However, despite their differences in appearance and DNA, they were as close as any siblings could get. Robin and Victor in particular were devoted to Raven and watched over her like hawks.

Raven picked out the book she was looking for and paid for it. Mumbo bowed her out of the shop, a dozen ravens flying out of his sleeve. Raven set up the path back towards the cottage she shared with her brothers, her nose buried in her recent purchase. She dodged the villagers with the ease of one who often walks while reading a book. But her concentration was broken when she once again heard the giggles of Kitten and Jynx.

Oh, perfect! Those two again…oh no! Not him too!

The "him" she was referring was called Adonis. Everyone adored him. He was said to be the most handsome man in the village. And the strongest. Adonis was only his nickname but no one knew what his real name was.

It's probably something he's ashamed of…like Garfield. I hate him so much.

Raven tried to sneak past the tall man but he spotted her.

"Well, well, well. It's Raven! Beautiful, mysterious Raven…" He positioned himself in front of her so that she could not get by. Kitten and Jynx glared at Raven. They were in love with Adonis but were jealous that he preferred Raven. Most people thought it was strange that he found her so pretty but they raised no objections in fear of being attacked by either him or Raven. Everyday one could hear Adonis brag about how he would claim Raven as his bride. But Raven hated him.

"Adonis, will you let me through? I'd like to go home now."

"Wait a moment. Why don't you come with me back to the tavern? I'll show you my latest kill…that I caught just for you."

Raven looked disgusted. Nearly everyday, Adonis made some kind of suggestive remark. He did not get the hint when she said that she wasn't interested.

"No thank you. Let me by. I'm going home."

Adonis yanked the book out of her hand and thumbed through it with an air of pity.

"Raven, you should stop reading so many books and you should start spending more time with me. We all know that I'm much more interesting to look at then a stupid book. And I'm charming and I'm witty. Anyone would be lucky to have me and it just so happens that the person is you!"

Raven snatched back her book and didn't answer him. She tried once more to skirt around him but he grabbed her arm and yanked her back…hard.

"Let go!" Raven yelled. Her eyes turned black and her hair flew back. A handful of apples from a nearby cart flew up and smacked him in the head. There was a collective gasp among the spectators that had been watching the scene. Adonis looked enraged and tightened his grip on her arm.

"Now now my beauty, that wasn't very nice."

"Hey! Leave her alone!"

Adonis turned his head to see Robin and Victor standing behind him looking murderous. He hastily let go of Raven's arm and backed away.

"Remember what I said Raven."

She glared at his back as he walked away. Then she noticed that people were still staring at her. With horror, Raven realized that she'd used her powers to attack Adonis. Raven didn't know how but she could do things that no one else could. She could levitate, move objects with her mind and even teleport when she was really concentrating. But she was afraid of her powers. She didn't trust herself to use them, in fear she might hurt someone. It was the reason that everyone in the town feared her and shunned her. Robin walked up to her and put a hand on her shoulder.

"Come on Raven. Let's go home now."

"Robin. I didn't mean to…"

"I know. Come on."

And together, Robin, Raven and Victor made their way up the path back to their little cottage.
