   The creak of dawn came when the morning sun crept up upon Raven's light-skinned face as she rolled around the duvets covers of one of the guest room bunk beds. Even though they were at the Dark Forest, Raven could hear birds chirp, which seemed quite odd.

    Raven rolled out of bed standing on her two feet as the walked over to the window pane to see a group of ravens chirping and some were squawking. She pushed the pane up to open as a small young raven flew to land on her finger.

    She didn't notice someone walking up behind her before they came in for a tight hug. She looked behind her and found Dexter hugging her around her waist as he faced her.

" You finally woke up huh?" Dexter whispered in his girlfriend's ear.

" Yeah." Raven whispered back.

" You should come on down then," Dexter smiled. " everyone's having breakfast."

" No wonder I can smell something mighty delicious." Raven said as her stomach rumbled slightly for food.

They both let go of the cuddling and went downstairs to meet everyone filling themselves breakfast. There was pancakes, oatmeal, bread, frosted rolls, bacon, and a few types of fruit placed on the table.

" We gotta eat quick if we want to find the first gem quick." Cerise said as she handed Raven and Dexter toasted bread with melted butter along with fresh bacon. " And good morning."

" Well someone woke up already." Ramona said gnawing on a piece of bacon given to her as Faybelle gave a small laugh.

" You guys are lucky that us early birds didn't eat all of the worms." Faybelle chuckled as Apple almost gagged.

" Very funny." Raven said taking a bite of toasted bread.

" So mom," Faybelle asked looking directly at her mother. " where's the first gem?"

" Well, all I know is that it's somewhere located near the troll bridge." her mom said.

" Well, we won't need to worry exactly where it is since the mirror will lead us." Apple said. " Right Raven?"

" Right." Raven said as she picked up her bag that was hanging on a hanger, took out the mirror and held it. But nothing happened.

Raven commanded the mirror to show the way but it still didn't work.

" That's weird." Raven said as she tried again.

    " It stopped working." Apple noticed with worry.

   " Don't worry," Theodora stated. "we can still find a way to find the other two gems. But for now let's head to the troll bridge. "

    After a good breakfast, everyone walked through the forest, with Theodora leading the way, reaching the troll bridge. Across from the troll bridge they could see a grey-bricked abandoned-like castle in the distance.

     " Home sweet home." Faybelle smiled. Everyone carefully walked across looking around for any trolls, due to their trickery.

Soon arrows flew across the air trying to aim at the group.

" Duck!" Hunter exclaimed noticing the flying weapons before everyone else. Everyone ducked except for Apple.
