‘Here we go…’ A soft voice of a girl sung.

 Blue lights illuminate the room. 

‘Another night out.’ 

The lights get brighter.

‘Waited all week.. just to get out.’

She could see the bodies of anonymous people moving around her. They’re control, like hers, were taken by the beats of the music.

‘Where do we come from?’ 

She moved to the flow, flexing hips, arms and legs.

‘Do I know your name?’

The blue lights shifted around the room in spinning cycles. They drifted over the sea of people, giving her a brief glimpse at their appearance.

‘Does it really matter?’

No, it didn’t.

‘In this light, we’re all the same.’

Raven lifted her hands to the air, swinging her body in circles.

‘Move for meeeeee~!’ That soothing voice sung. ‘I move for youuuuuu~!’

God, I love this. I could die happy in this moment.

Raven loved to go to these raves every Friday night. It brought her much joy, like a child receiving candy. But it was a feeling that lasted for a very long time. That’s probably why she couldn’t miss one night, even if she tried. This night was probably one of the best she had ever experienced in a long while. It was easy to see why… tonight was a special guest. A DJ from across the Atlantic Ocean. No one knew if he/she was from the United States or Canada or maybe even Mexico.

But they had talent, who ever they were.

The blue lights faded out. The room was dark. People panted and cheered. Raven clapped with them, eager for the next song. They continued to wait in the dark. Everyone turned to where the DJ’s box was stationed.

“C’mon, show your face!” One guy way back behind Raven shouted.

In response, a low bass was heard. It grew louder. 

People began to cheer, unable to hold in their excitement.

Raven felt a hand grab her arm and hot breath came to her ear. “Raven? Is something wrong with the lights?”

Alesia had tagged along. This was her second time coming to the rave with Raven. She wasn’t much of a night owl or a party person, but she would agree to go out and do wild things so long as Raven was with her, and it was an excuse to escape a boring three hours of bible study.

“Nah, its probably just for an effect. The DJ’s playing on anticipation, for sure.” 

“Ok.” Alesia whispered nervously.

A loud voice was heard in a mega phone over the loud bass. 

“Hi friends.” A young male.

People screamed back.
