Shadow in the Light (girlxgirl)

Mallory Frederick, a silent, celibant girl, with short red hair, cut choppy to the chin, slices in her wrists and a sad, makeup free face, and dark jeans and a black t-shirt, lost her parents two years ago in a terrorist bombing. She never spoke a word after and never sang after. What happens when the new girl in town, with the raven dark hair, the strong beak like nose and malevolent eyes knocks her walls down forcefully, revealing an amazing and terrifying secret?

Tess, is a shifter. She spends most of her time as a raven, and uses her birth name, Secret Cave Where Treasure Hides (not an exact translation into human tongue of course, in raven it has a deeper meaning, bringing an actual image of a dark cave, with glinting treasures, lit by a full moon) until she encounters her heart's shade. A smaller girl, with red hair and dark clothes, lying over a double grave at midnight silently sobbing. Tess shifts into her less comfortable human shape, feeling an odd desperate urge to comfort this human.
