Midnight is guilty of crime, even when she didn't mean it, as she tries to run away from it all, otherwise she'll be sent to the world of banishment. It's up to her to decide who she can trust.

Soon, the sun sets and we decide to make camp.
Once the tents were set up, we sat outside in the cold. We didn't dare light a fire, since the smoke would surely attract attention.
Ava shivers and I offer her my jacket, trying to seem nice. She accepts it and nods her head gratefully.
' So, Ava' I say, trying to break the awkward silence.
' What's there to know about you?'
She looks at the ground for a while before standing up and extending her arms. I sit there, wondering what she's doing.
Suddenly, a shimmery light takes over her form, like ripples in water and as the light fades, I see a Phoenix flying high and then swooping low, before landing gracefully and turning back into a human.
I sit there bewildered, though Jason seems unfazed.
Ava smiles.' Jason, care to tell?'
Jason nods and turns to me.
' You see, the world isn't as normal as it seems. There are invisible forces, always around. We live in a world where names hold power. Like me, the name Jason means healer, so I'm able to heal. Ava means bird, so she had the power to transform into one.'
'Cool' I say. 'But how come you guys didn't let me know before?'
' Well, these powers aren't a always helpful, they an be dangerous too, and the less you know about them, the safer you are.'
' Oh, ok....but what's my power?'
' Since you're name midnight, it probably has something to do with the night, or time' replies Ava.
' And how do I use it?' I ask getting more excited by the second.
' Whoa, take it easy!' Says Ava.
' It doesn't just come, you'll feel it within you when it's the right time'
I sit back, feeling myself deflate a little.
Jason laughs and we all join in, before heading to our tents, for a reassuring sleep.
Sup peeps! Hope you're enjoying the book so far. I just wanted ur opinion if whether I should put a pic of Jason in the next chapter. Let me know in the comments! :-)
