The special guests arrived early, North bringing a few presents. A few seconds before Sophie arrived, every body hid and closed the curtains. F or a moment, all was silent. Then Sophie came in.

"SURPRISE" Everybody shouted. Sophie was speechless and her face was priceless. She stared at the Guardians.

" Oh my god you guys!" she shouted. "Thank you, now let's party.

DING DONG. The doorbell rang and everybody froze.

"Who could that be, everybody is here already." Jack said.

"Oh I invited her," Jaime said, winking at Jack. He opened the door to a girl. She was slim and around average height. She looked around 16 years old and had creamy vanilla pale skin. Her shiny, layered hair was as dark as midnight and reached down to her waist. Her bangs covered her right eye. The left eye was a bright emerald green. Her soft lips were baby pink. She wore a long sleeved shirt with a snowflake printed on it. She wore a mini skirt and her sneakers were covered in doodles.

"Hi, sorry I'm late. Happy birthday Sophie." She said softly.

" Raven! I missed you. Long time no see." Sophie said while doing their complicated hand shake.

" I've missed you too, cousin.

The party continued late into the settled down as North and Bunny argued quietly over which was better, Christmas or Easter. Tooth and Sandy left to do their duties.

Only Sophie, Jaime, Jack and Raven were left. After catching up, they learnt that Raven had moved closer, somewhere down the street. After a while, they each parted ways and said their goodnights.

Jack flew up to the treehouse in Jaime's backyard. North had offered him a room in his workshop but he declined it politely, as he preferred to sleep outdoors. He stared at the moon, unconsciously thinking about Raven. He drifted off to sleep, his mind still full of his newfound acquaintance.

Raven POV

I went straight into my bedroom. I washed my face and took a hot shower. I looked at my arms which had a few scars. I felt a twinge of guilt but I reassured my self. ' It's just a little bit. I couldn't help but remember my past life. The abuse of my ex boyfriend replayed in my mind. I shook it out of my head and stepped out the shower. I brushed my teeth and petted my cat, Snowball and fell asleep on my bed.
