An Other World

Kristina a normal teenager, who enjoys hanging out with her friends and having fun. Well to most of her friends she was normal. But what most of them didn't know was that she had another spirit living inside of her along with her own. She had a few friends who believed her -well the ones she told anyway – and they said they had other spirits in them to just to feel special. But when she and a few of her friends accidentally open the a portal to the demon/spirit world she is forced to fight these demons, that want to take over her world, and send them back. But when being attacked by Saris –the leader of this one demon army- she meets a new friend - a vampire- who ends up helping her out along the way. Then everything started to change.

Chapter 1

Today was probably one of the worst days of my life I ever had. My boyfriend just broke up with me after only three weeks of going out. Truth was that this was the second boyfriend I had in one month, probably one of the worst mistakes I had ever made. I was also having an off day to top it off.

A few of the reasons why have to deal with the day at school. One reason is that I have failed my test in computer class, a hard class as it was, counting for three credits that year, and another was in math when the kids where being bigger jerks then usual. An other reason is when I woke up this morning; I had a dream about my grandmother who had past away a little over three yeas ago. That had to be the worst years of my life but not as bad as today, today happened to be the worst so far, or so I thought.

As I walked with my friends from church down to the teen center where we always hung out on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, until town curfew; which happened to be at ten. As we arrived at the building they began walking in. We where a little early as always but that was only because we had martial arts today and tomorrow.

"Are you coming in?" My best friend Beth asked as she walked up behind me and put a comforting hand on my shoulder. I looked to her smiling face but saw the worry in her eyes. She has been my best friend since the second grade and as of lately we been helping each other out with everything, and telling each other everything.

"No… I think I'm going to head home…" I said shaking my head lightly and but on a small smile to reinsure her that everything will be fine. "Tell Mr. L that I won't be in marshal arts today… and will try to make it tomorrow."

"Ok…. See ya tomorrow at school..." Beth said as she gave me a hug and hurried on inside.

"Yeah… cya….." I said as Beth walked into the building, knowing she didn't hear me. So I just shrugged it off and sighed lightly to my self as I walked to the railroad tracks off to the left and behind the teen center.

I would have asked my dad for a ride, who lives right next to the center and the tracks, but I wasn't ready to go home yet so I decided to take the long way along the tracks and try to clear my head.

As I walked all the memories of me and my ex going out was stuck in my head, repeating like a movie, never stopping. I started to run down the tracks tears running down my face like tiny rivers, blurring my vision. I ended up tripping a good few times and ended up dragging my book bag behind me with a slight limp.

I walked down the tracks to where it crossed over the creek that ran through the town. I turned before I got the bridge picking up my book bag, and walked a path to where this cement area was. I figured that there used to be a building there a long time ago, but that was just a guess. I sat my bag down next to a rectangle hold in the cement where me and a group of my friends would build a fire on certain occasion when ever we came here.

I then turned to look at the tree next to the stream. Its roots lead down into the water, like many of the other trees that surrounded this area. This was the only place that had cement or some sort of proof that a building used to be here as many tress surrounded the area except for the creek to the one side, and a pound a few hundred feet towards the back. Here me and my friends swam a few times during the summer, cooling off and just having fun being the teens that we are. I remembered the first time we came here. It was warm and humid out and a group of me and my friends where hiking the woods behind my house and walked through the town all day. So when we got here we decided to go swimming. We took off our socks and shoes and anything out of our pockets and went in with the clothes we had on. Two of my guy friends swam in there boxers and a few of the girls swam with out any shirts on. That was one of the best days out of the whole summer.

I sat down and leaned back against my bag, pulling my knees up to my chest. I rested my head on my knees as I looked at the water and watched the way the setting sun gleamed off the water. Before I knew it I had fallen asleep from the soothing sound of the water and the tiring day of school taking its effects.

When I woke my cell was going off, and it had gotten a lot darker out. I answered my phone it was my mom.

"Yes mom?" I said, my voice a little dry from the short nap.

"When are you coming home?" She asked a little worry in her voice when ever I didn't call and it was late. She always worried but she was getting used to me being out a lot and she would get used to it more as I got older and soon would be not coming home for days at a time.

"Later tonight mom I'm hanging out with friends." I lied plainly, something I was good at.

"Remember it's a school night." She said, buying the lie as always.

"Yes mom I know. I won't be home to late."

"And when you come home there is food on the stove."

"Ok mom, love ya, cya soon." I hit the end button before she could say anymore and looked to the time. It was eight-forty-five pm. I sighed as I put the cell back in my pocket and stretched standing up. I looked at the path I had to take home through the woods. I hated walking home in the dark on this path, alone anyway. For many different reasons of course. As I was about to grab my bag I heard something move in the bushes in front of me. I looked up and around at the shadows, trying to see what it was.

See I'm different then most people and always have been, I noticed that as I grew up. But a few years ago around my twelfth birthday I found out I have another spirit living in my body along with my own. Her name is Naomi. We don't know what she is our how she came to be trapped in my body, but one thing is for sure is that she helped me out in a lot of things. She was different then humans she was faster, stronger, could see clearly in the dark and had slightly paler skin. As I looked through the darkness I saw a shadow heading my way. It looked human but the way it gracefully moved through the bushes and around the trees was a way humans couldn't move.

Then it stopped right at the end of the trees where the shadows and the moonlight meet. I stared at it. 'Naomi what should I do?' I said in my head to Naomi. That's how we communicated to each other, telepathically in a way.

'Let's wait and see what it is first. Plus I don't think you could out run that thing… whatever it is.'

'You're right I couldn't.'

'I'll be here trying to figure out what it is if you need me.'

'Like you could go any where anyways.'

'Ha ha very funny.'

"Who are you? What do you want?" I asked it never looking away. But it didn't answer, nor did it move. It just stood there like a statue. Its bright golden eyes pierced through the darkness, staring right at me with such intensity, that it made me shudder.

I would have turned around forgot it was there and left but it was blocking the only path to get back to the tracks. I sat down next to my bag and watched it. Waiting to see if it would move.

I never took my eyes off of it the whole time I sat there even when my cell went off again.

"Hello?" I answered as I picked the phone out of my pocket, my eyes still locked on to that thing.

"When are you coming home." My mom asked.

"Soon as I can mom, I'm kind of in a tough spot here."

"Is it them again?" She asked in a slight annoyed tone. She knew about me being different and knew I saw things others couldn't, and at one point she thought I was loosing it and tried to get me medicine to make it go away but she learned to accept that no matter what I saw it was real to me and she learn to deal with it. But I knew that she still thought I was nuts.

"I don't know what it is but its not moving from my path its just standing there."

"Well just be carefully and don't come home to late." She said still annoyed and hung up.

"I love you too, mom." I mutter and pulled the phone away from my ear to take a quick glance at it to see what the time was. Its was now quarter of ten. I've been sitting here for over an hour, staring at this thing that wouldn't let me leave. As I put my cell back I looked up and that thing was gone.

I quickly stood and looked around franticly. I didn't know what it was. I didn't know what it wanted or if it was going to hurt me in some way, but as I looked around I didn't see it. And I started to get slightly worried and scared.

'Behind you. Be careful' Naomi warned me. I blinked then quickly turned around to see nothing.

'Naomi. I thought you said it was behind me.'

'It was and still is. When you turned around it moved and now it's behind you again.' She said her voice slightly deep, as I sensed anger with in it and a slight bit of worry and at once I knew that this wasn't good if she was slightly worried herself.

'Are you sure this time? 'I asked, worry and fear clear in my voice.

'Yes! I'm sure this time.' She hissed softly.

'Ok.' I slowly turned around this time to find out it wasn't there either. I growled through my teeth a little. But as I bent down to grab my bag something moved in front of me and had it in its hand already. I glared at it as I stood. What I saw was not at all what I expected. I saw a tall boy standing in front of me. I would say he was probably around six foot two a good seven inches or so taller then my slim five foot four form. He had golden colored hair that went down to his shoulders with a slight mix of dirty blonde. As I looked into his liquid golden-green eyes with my pale blue ones, they where looking down at me with a deep dark emotion that I couldn't recognize, that made the gold stand out so much more and dance like fire, but also seem to match the slight smirk that was at the one corner of his light colored lips. He wore faded blue jeans and a black shirt with an unzipped black hooded coat over top of that. He kind of looked like a model or every females dream man but I just glared at him. For taking my bag and keeping me here wasting my time when I could be home, warm and safe in my bed in a happy sleep.

"Can I have my bag back now?" I asked trough slightly clenched teeth.

He didn't say anything, he hardly moved. The only thing that moved was his eyes that where staring at me with such intensity as before to look behind me at something I couldn't see or sense.

I asked again. "Can I please have my bag back?"

Still now answer he still looked past me, this time he put my bag over his shoulder. "Who is this guy?" I asked to my self. I really wanted my bag back.

'Kris…' Naomi said. There was something different about the way she said my name.

'Yeah?'

'Lets get out of here.'

'Why?' I asked wondering why she wanted me gone so quick when I still didn't have my bag.

'There gathering. They are trying to find us. A lot of them.'

It took me a few minutes to realize what she was talking about then my eyes widen in alarm as I figured it out. 'Can you tell how many?'

'No. But let's get out of here anyway.'

'But what about him?' I asked looking to the guy who stood no less then ten feet in front of me. Eye glued onto on position behind me, my bag still on his shoulder.

'I think he can tell what's going on. See that look in his eyes?'

I took a moment to do just that. 'Yeah… I think your right...' I wanted to look behind me, to see if anything was there, to see. But I knew it wasn't such a good idea so I headed to the path looking straight ahead not even looking back at him as I passed. I walked down the tracks a little to the path in the woods that lead up to my neighbor's house. I'm glad that I didn't live to far from here. But I stopped dead in my track at the beginning of the path and looked into the darkness, eyes full on alert as I watched. When that person or what ever he was appeared by my side.

"I advise you continue before those things… find you." That was the first time I ever heard him speak, he sounded so calm, his voice so soft so angelic, like there was nothing that was going on, like nothing was going to happen.

I just stared at the darkness, still watching closely. "Who are you and why are you worrying about those things getting me? I'm used to fighting them off I do it all the time. With out anyone else's help." I said with dark tone and glanced at him to his reaction but his face held no emotion except that he raised one brow as he looked to me in question. I just smirked slightly and looked back into the darkness. It's true I constantly fight off the these things but with Naomi's help of course. See the thing is that why these things are after me is that I brought him here to this world and they know I can put them back just as easy. During the summer me and my friends kind of half way opened a portal to the demon/spirit world and now these demons are after me so I won't put them back. Truth was I have fun putting them back where they belong, its was easy most of the time, but I wished I had a big challenge for once, to have more fun.

"The names Kai." He said as he just looked at me as though he was trying to read my thoughts. I looked at him for a sec, again, then back at the darkness.

I then quickly stood up straight. "So… they finally found me.…" I said softly to my self with a slight smirk.

"How do you know they found you?" He asked, still looking at me.

"They have us surrounded that's how…" I then looked around afraid that I was right, and I was. But I was glad, time to have some fun; I thought as I grinned lightly. They really did have us completely surrounded and was closing in on us quickly.

'Naomi I think its time that you take over!!' I said with slight excitement.

'Finally some action.' As Naomi took control over my body, my eyes turned form blue to a dark deep blue-greenish color. My nails grew longer and turned black, like they were painted that color. My hair changed from light brown to black and my body became more fit, instead of just a small skinny girl. My skin also became paler like Kai's, not that it wasn't pale before but became even more pale. Naomi took of the coat and threw it off to the side, as she readied her self to fight. The demons where now in view. Kai was looking around at all the demons that had us surrounded.

"Hello Naomi." The leader of the demons said as he steeped out of the shadows an into view. He was bigger then the rest, his body more muscular and built that it looked like his skin was about to shred apart. He had extra long blonde hair, that didn't match his tan orange like skin, pulled back at the nip of his neck and hung down his back. He wore no shirt, but long black ripped pants and black boots. His nail where to long and pointed sharp at the ends. His sharp fangs showed over bottom lip as he grinned. He looked like a child's worst nightmare, and probably was.

"What do you want Saris?" Naomi growled through her teeth as she turned to face Saris.

"What do you think? To have you gone for good so we can take over this pitiful human world." Saris grinned.

"Well this world might be pitiful but I'm not going to let you do that." She mocked his grin, which made him scowl.

"Well then I guess this is going to be one fun battle."

"As always." Naomi grinned showing her two extra sharp teeth. "But as always you're going to lose."

"I think not Naomi." Just then Kai was standing with his back against Naomi's his coat and my bag off to the side.

"Mind if I join in?" He asked looking to her with a grin. His eyes where glowing with a slight brightness.

"Sure if you can keep up and not get killed."

"Thanks." Kai grinned showing his sharp white teeth. Even though Naomi had taken over my body I still could see what was going on.

The first demon jumped out at Naomi from the side. She took it out with no problem. It was like that until every demon had faded back to their world. The only one left was the leader, Saris.

"This is over yet, Naomi. You haven't won yet." As he said that he disappeared back into the shadows.

"That was fun and easy." Kai said. His coat was all ready back on, my bag over his shoulder.

"Yeah it was… It was too easy." Naomi said as she put the coat back on.

"What do you mean too easy?"

"Usually there harder then this." I said as I took back control. "I have a felling they're up to something."

"You sure about that?"

"Yeah. Positive." I said with a nod as I looked up at the star filled sky. "I've been fighting Saris for a while now, I know how he thinks - most of the time - ." I went to take a step forward but I was to weak and ended up falling backwards, But Kai caught me and I was standing again. "Damn it!! I forget I lose almost all of my energy when Naomi takes over." I mumbled.

"Then why do you let her take over?" He asked as he still held me slightly, with his hands lightly on my back until he was sure I was able to stand again.

"Cause I can't fight those things on my own!!" I glared at him. I wondered if he knew I was just a plain week human and couldn't do much.

"Your right you couldn't." He chuckled a little. Maybe he did know, …Idiot.

I glared at him as I forced the rest of my energy to my legs, and started to walk the path to my house. I tripped and stumbled many times on the path, from the rocks, fallen tree branches or just plain tree roots that didn't like me much and decided to pop out as I walked. As we walked up the somewhat small hill with a fallen tree at the top, I took my time and sat on the tree to rest when I got at the top. I was still mostly drained from when Naomi took over and she was a bit tired too. As I sat there trying to get enough energy to walk back to my house, Kai stood on one of the branches, watching me.

I stood up and was about to climb over the branch but slipped in the mud, but before I hit the ground or before my chin had hit the tree, Kai had caught me and now I was standing on the same branch as he was his skin was so clod that it made me shiver a little. I looked at him his eyes a golden-yellow now and smiled very little. He smiled as he put his arm around my waist and jumped down from the tree to my neighbors drive way next to the path. He the quickly let go of me, after making sure I was fine and started to walk to the path that led to my house, I followed behind him. I wondered how he knew which way he was going or that he was just guessing right.

We silently walked the path to my house. I looked at the ground as I walked my mind in many different places at once. I was trying to figure out what Saris was up to and why he had attack us such with week demons none the less. I was also trying to figure out who this guy was that was walking silently beside me. I hardly knew he was there they way he walked with out making a sound as the dead leaves of fall crunched under my steeps. I sighed a little as I saw my backyard where the path had ended.

I steeped out of the woods and looked at the house. I saw my mom's bedroom light on so I guessed that she had already headed to bed. I turned to look back at Kai who was standing at the path's edge, my bag still on his shoulder. "Can I have my bag back now?"

He walked out of the woods and over to me. Before I knew what was happening he was taking a whiff of my sent again –which he did two times before, once when I fell backwards the first time the other when he held me on the tree,- he then steeped a few feet away and handed me my bag, then he was gone with a grin before I could blink. A cold gust of wind blew around me and made me shiver as I walked up to the front of the house. As I walked in the house all the lights were off down stairs. I walked up the stairs, I was glad it was only five short steeps, and stood near my mom's door. "Mom I'm home." I said softly as I knocked lightly on the door.

"Ok. Are you ok?" She said annoyed again.

"Yeah just tired, so I'm heading to bed." I warily said.

"Night."

"Night." I walked over to my room and stumbled to my side of the room. Me and my sister Amanda and our step sister, Krystal –who's hardly ever home at night- shared a room. I turned on the light as I looked for my night clothes. I was so tired that I was only able to change in to my pants and ended up falling right to sleep after I turned off the light.

I hoped you enjoyed this long first chapter. Most of the chapters will be long hopefully. But please, please tell me what you think. R&R
