Chapter One

Entering Another World

Sam Manson was putting her books in her locker. She glanced over to the popular crowd, which included the oh-so-famous Paulina. She was always full of herself. Sam sighed and slammed her locker shut. Her best friend, Danny Fenton, walked up to her.

"Hi, Sam," he said, and looked at her with a gleam in his eye.

"Hey, Danny," Sam replied. She looked over at Paulina again. "Did Paulina ask you to the prom yet?"

"Only, like, a million times!" They both shared a heart-warming laugh. Danny sighed and then added, "Yeah, but I'm having second thoughts on who I am gonna ask."

"Who is that?"

Danny opened his mouth to speak, but Paulina suddenly noticed him and interrupted their conversation.

"Yoo-hoo, Danny!" she called. "Are you still dateless to the prom? Well, maybe we can -"

"No." Danny replied almost instantly.

Paulina scowled evilly and pointed her finger at him.

"You just wait, Fenton – you'll fall for me someday … much over your geek girlfriend there …"

Sam growled and stepped in front of Danny.

"For your information, Paulina, Danny isn't dateless! He's taking … " Sam noticed that there was nobody that asked him other than Paulina.

Paulina smirked.

"I'm not surprised … Danny's now in the popular crowd. He wouldn't even think of taking someone like you …"

Sam, snarling in rage, jumped at the girl with all her strength. She toppled over her, and both girls fell to the ground, scratching and growling as they fought. It took a few minutes to pull Sam off of her.

"Sam -?! Why did you do that? Are you crazy?!!" Danny asked in concern as he grasped her wrist.

Sam didn't reply. She just smiled as Paulina and her posy ran off into the hall.

At the end of the day, Sam, who was reading a book about centaurs, goblins, and vampires, was visited by Danny.

"Hey …" Danny said briefly. He was still silent after Sam fought Paulina.

Sam looked up at him and smiled, then went back to packing her things.

"Listen, I …got you something … for the …prom …" He reached in his pocket and pulled out a gold necklace with a crucifix charm on it. Sam, speechless with pleasure, grabbed the necklace and saw on the back of the cross, in engraved little letters, was a prayer, and under it, it said, I Love You.

Danny smiled shyly, his cheeks turning a slight shade of pink, then he asked, "Do you want to go to the prom with me … you know, as … friends?"

Sam smiled and hugged Danny. "Yes," she responded. Danny waved good-bye and went to his bus.

Sam sighed and, just as she was about to put the necklace in her backpack, Paulina and her posy came up to her.

"Hello there, loser," Paulina snarled, and her friends smiled evilly along with her.

Sam frowned and said, "What do you want?"

"Nothing, just wanted to see how you felt after Danny rejected your offer to the prom," Paulina answered, and eyed a shining gleam in Sam's hand. "What's that?"

"Nothing a shallow girl like you could ever have," Sam retorted, feeling proud of herself. Without warning, Paulina grabbed the gleaming shine out of Sam's hands and looked at it.

"Hey-!" Sam screamed, and made a leap at her necklace. Paulina dodged it.

"Who was this from?" Paulina, smirking, asked.

"Well …" Sam started then thought. If she told Paulina, she'd make Sam a laughing stock by saying she made Danny a loser. If she didn't, she'd humiliate her anyways.

"It doesn't matter," Paulina said. Sam felt relief way too early. Paulina hadn't finished.

"… because it's now mine!"

As quick as a bullet, Paulina dashed around the lockers and through the hall. Sam, still dazed from her dash, ran after her.

"Give me my necklace back or else!!" Sam warned.

"Make me!!" Paulina retorted and ran past a sharp turn.

Sam struggled to catch up with the demon girl. As she turned the sharp curve, her boot slipped.

"AUGH!!!" yelled Sam as she fell on the floor.

All she remembered after she fell was a few sightings of moons and stars, and a blood-churning crackle against her head. Before she knew it, she slipped into a deep black and blue darkness.

Yeah, it's short, but it was the best I could think of before I drew my pictures. Go to to see them. P.S. – Read and Review!
