He woke up as quick as ever... "Another nightmare," Zane said to himself. They were becoming more and more frequent as time went on... Something bad was going to happen. He didn't know how he knew this he just did.

As he walked down the steps he knew no one was up yet. In fact growing up in Maine and waking early was fairly easy for him. And just as he opened the window his raven Shadow flew in and sat on his shoulder. Of course shadow wasn't his but ever since he saved it from his sisters cat the raven would stay with him at any chance it got.

"I see you were waiting for me," Zane said to the raven, and it responded with a caw and hopped over to the oven.

He knew instantly what the bird meant... it wanted food.

"Hold on, you can't expect me to wake up and make food for you as soon as possible." And with a few quick motions he started making coffee, and then prepared the food.

Being the chef in the house he thought was fun, he had a natural talent for cooking.

"Good morning," someone said from behind Zane as he whirled around. 

"Hey mom."

"You sure are up early aren't you."

"I guess I am."

"Well hows breakfast today."

"Honey bacon, pancakes with a hint of vanilla with scrambled eggs," he answered never taking his eyes off his work.

"Smells good." His twin sister Nora said.

Within the next 15 minutes breakfast was done as well as the coffee. "So," his mom started, "How has school been."

"Good I guess." both Nora and Zane answered together.

"Well then you better finish before you're late then." That's when he realized, Zane looked down at his watch and saw it was almost 6. At that moment he, and Nora bolted through the house getting ready.

But little did either of them know that their entire life was about to change.
