The Raven Black Spirit

Three fillies who each have their own eccentric personalities and goals were sitting in their clubhouse setting up to try and get their cutie marks in...something to do with spirits; whether it would be in summoning them, talking to them or even helping them move on whatever the case may be those three fillies were going over the last of the things they needed.

"Magic chalk?" An orange pegasus with tiny wings and purple mane and tail asked as she read from a checklist.

"Check." Said a light yellow earth pony. She had a red mane and tail but she also had a pinkie bow in her mane.

"Scented candles?" The filly pegasus asked again.

"Check." Squeaked a white unicorn. She had a pink and purple mane and tail. The color was split down the middle with the pink on the left and the purple on the right.

"Spirit talking board thingie?"

"You mean an Ouija board Scootaloo." Said the unicorn earning a light glare from her friend.

" Yeah, whatever it's called a dictionary." The pegasus now known as Scootaloo said earning a jab by her earth pony friend." Hey, what was that for Applebloom." Scootaloo says.

"That was fer messing calling Sweetie Belle a dictionary just cause she knows a lot of stuff," Applebloom says in defense of her friend

"Yeah!" Sweetie Belle joined in. "I can't help that you don't study." The fillies all glare at each other for a moment before simultaneously laughing.

"I'm sorry sweetie belle I didn't mean it when I said you were a dictionary." Scoots said as she and sweetie belle hugged.

"Apology accepted scoots." Sweetie Belle said as they separated. "Now what's left on the list?"

"Let's see the ritual capes and a piece of the dead pony we are trying to summon." Scootaloo read. All three Fillies shivered at that last one.

"Ah got the capes," Applebloom said as she pulled them out. They were white with a red interior.

"And I got the feather." Sweetie Belle said as she used her magic to lift it so none of them would have to touch it. Applebloom looking a little more green then yellow given where they found it a decomposing wing they found in the woods. She vomited on the spot. The wing was way too large to be a bird's so it had to of most likely come from a pony

"Ah think Scootaloo should say the incantation since this was her idea," Applebloom said with Sweetie Belle nodding in agreement.

"Yeah, fine whatever let's just hurry and see if we get our cutie marks," Scootaloo said which got the other two to hurry and put on their capes and draw the circle with the candles as a sort of guideline in the center of the circle they put the feather and while Applebloom and Sweetie Belle did that Scootaloo was going over the spell a few times to make sure she got it down otherwise the Spirit they could summon could take control of her body even if it was only temporary.

"Ready, everypony?" Scootaloo asked as she took her seat in at the top of the circle with Sweetie Belle on her right and Applebloom on her left. Both of her friends gave her a quick yet nervous nod. "Alright, let's join hooves."

"Wait!" Sweetie interrupts "Why did we bring the Ouija board if we don't need it?"

"Yeah, I was wondering the same thing?" Scoots said as she rubbed her chin.

"Ah thought it would add to the atmosphere." Applebloom huffed as the others nod in agreement.

"Yeah, that makes sense now let's join hooves." Scoots hold out her hooves and the three of them join hooves. "Now no matter what happens don't let go." Scootaloo then looks at Sweetie Belle with a stern look. "I mean it Sweetie otherwise we could have a spirit very mad at us."

"I won't let go... sheesh," Sweetie said with a roll of her eyes and with that Scootaloo began chanting.

"Spirit, we summon thee to the realm of the living." The wind picked up as Scootaloo continued. At first, it was brief and light that it would have been easily ignored, however, each word Scootaloo said caused the wind to grow slightly. "We wish to know about thee and how thee is doing." A small tornado began to form in the center of the fillies lifting the feather as it began to glow. "We can like to hang out and stuff and I can show you cool tricks on my scooter." if it wasn't obvious Scootaloo forgot the words she was supposed to say and her friends were more worried about the fact that whatever scoots was doing it was working because the spirit is being summoned and it was a tall one.

When Scootaloo finished chanting, there in the middle of the three fillies was a tall, well tall compared to them anyway. skinny figure with white skin bright blue eyes, black hair, and single black wing, The figure also had on a dress that was Raven black with a single glove that goes up to the elbow. She looks down at the fillies who were clearly stunned at what they had summoned.

The figure takes a deep breath and speaks in a cold monotone voice "Hello, young ones. My name is Raven and why did you call me?"

Applebloom nearly breaks the hold due to can't believing that they actually did and is laughing like a hyena, Sweetie Belle is admiring her dress and wondering if its made out of satin or silk. But it was Scootaloo who worked up the courage to speak. "We were trying to get our cutie marks in ghost n stuff ya know?"

Raven chuckles. It's not an evil chuckle but a polite one to help the fillies calm down some and it seemed to of done the trick as Applebloom stopped laughing and Sweetie Belle had determined that yes the dress was in fact made of silk. Why Sweetie's mind focused on the dress was more than likely fear but she was the next to speak.

"I-I-l-like your d-dress, R-Raven," Sweetie said with a semi-forced smile.

"Thank you for the compliment," Raven says in the same voice even though the fillies could tell she meant it.

"What's wrong with yer voice?" Applebloom asked and just for a moment, the air lost all warmth as the wind picked up getting the fillies to shiver. "What the hay was that."

"I'm sorry to have scared you but someone I knew when I was alive had a similar accent and he was not a very nice stallion," Raven reassured yet her voice somehow got colder towards the end of her sentence.

"Ah'm sorry tah hear that, Ms. Raven." Applebloom was now suddenly not so keen on talking anymore.

"It's alright if anything I should apologize for I did not mean to scare you," Raven said with a small smile. " The truth is I always loved foals they are so cute, happy and innocent."

" I'm not cute I'm awesome" Scoots protested earning another round of giggles from everyone. "Any way the book we got never said anything about what to do after we summoned you."

"Yeah, that is true." Sweetie Belle confirmed but another question popped into her mind. "Why is your voice so bland umm no offense."

"its because the cute orange one didn't summon me correctly and as such left me unable to express emotions the same way as you three." Scootaloo complained about not being cute but Raven ignored her and continued." It also has to do with the fact that I am not whole for I was not buried in one piece and from the looks of this ritual you have found that piece."

"Umm, why are you telling this to us?" Sweetie Belle asked a little confused.

"Because I want to be whole once more so that I may have hope, however, faint it might be," Raven stated flatly getting the CMC to look at each other with concerned looks. " I can give one of you a Cutie mark but their will be a cost." The Three fillies listen intently to the spirit. "I can only give one of you a mark and for that I must merge with the one you decide."

Applebloom looked like she was about to say something but a sudden shout caused the fillies to jump and let go.

"APPLEBLOOM, SUPPERS READY." Applebloom's brother hollered from outside the clubhouse.

"OH NO!" All three fillies exclaimed as Raven disappeared and Big Mac screamed in fear and pain, getting the three of them to look out the window too see Raven just beating the hell out of Big Mac and she made it look easy because Big Mac as the name suggests is not small.

"What are you doing to ma brother," Applebloom begged for an answer with a frightened tone as she and her friends rushed over to the pair.

"Why, it's simple, Applebloom. I'm going to make every stallion pay for what they did to me and he just happens to be the first." As Raven spoke the wind began to howl and roar causing the trees to bend and shake. She then stopped hitting Big Mac and he began to crawl away. He did not look good with two broken legs a black eye and a small hole in his back

" Or you could like not do that," Scootaloo said her friends rapidly nodding in agreement.

"Then make me whole again and I'll stop," Raven announced before she flapped her one unbroken wing and flew off to the sky to head towards to an unknown location.

After a brief and uncomfortable moment of silence, the girls stared at one another to digest the information at what just happened.

Sweetie Belle opened her mouth and said with a worried tone. "Girls, we are so in trouble when our families hear about this."
