Raven walked quietly down the hall of her new house. Her mother sat at the kitchen table sipping a glass of drink Raven couldn't see.

"Hello" Raven said sitting next to her.

"Hi sweetie, have fun tonight?" she asked looking up.

Raven shrugged "Yeah. Leah let me meet her nice friends. What did the Cullen's say?"

Aduela shifted in her chair. "Just that they won't be letting the wolves know about us for some safe reason and that they're on the lookout incase anything happens."

Raven nodded and looked at mom and smiled "I'm starting school Monday. Leah's bother goes there but is only in 10th grade. But I met a boy. Jacob Black and his friends are all in my grade."

Aduela nodded and smirked "Are they cute?"

Raven let out a squeal "Mom! I just met them."

Her mother laughed and patted Raven's hand "oh common are they?"

Raven squirmed in her chair and shrugged "They're nice. But I'm not risking anything alright. I'm fine single for now and plus they all probably have girlfriends"

"Because they're hot?" her mother teased

"Mother" Raven said pushing her lightly "Anyways I need to get new cloths for school and probably should get a backpack and books"

Aduela nodded "I can't believe you're actually going to school. I gave you a choice not too and you want to. Aren't kids these days supposed to hate school?"

Raven laughed and nodded "I guess I'm just an odd child"

Raven got up and kissed her mother forehead "I'm going out."

Aduela looked up and frowned "Raven Ophelia Hope you will not be going out this late at night"

Raven groaned and turned to her mother "I'm only going to the beach to sit and you know see if I get anything from beyond"

Her mother sighed and nodded "ok well be careful. And have you seen anything . . ."

"Not yet. Usually I see them right off the bat but they haven't discovered me yet. If I get anything tonight I'll be sure to release them when I'm done" Raven said grabbing a jacket.

Raven ran out the door and Aduela smiled "My little Necromancer all grown up. Releasing spirits for fun"
