An Other World

Chapter 1

Krystal 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.

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. This was the second boyfriend I had in one month, one of the worst mistakes I ever made. I was also having an off day on top of that.

One reason is that I have failed my test in computer class, and kids in my math class where being jerks, as usual. When I woke up this morning I had a dream about my grandmother who had past away a little over a year ago. That was one the worst years of my life.

As I walked with my friends from church down to the teen center where we always hang out on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturday nights, until curfew witch is ten a clock. As they walked into the building I stood out front watching the cars go by.

"Are you coming in?" My best friend Beth asked.

"No… I think I'm going to head home. Tell L I won't be in marshal arts today.

"Ok…. See ya tomorrow at school..."

"Yeah… cya….." I said as Beth walked into the building. I sighed lightly to my self and walked to the railroad tracks behind the teen center.

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

As I walked all the memories of me and my ex going out was stuck in my head. I started to run down the tracks tears running down my face blurring up my vision. I tripped a few times and ended up dragging my book bag behind me.

I walked down the tracks to where it crossed over a stream that runs through the town. I turned before I got the bridge picking up my book bag, and walked a path to where this cement area is. I figured 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 my friends build a fire when we are here.

I then turned to look at the tree next to the stream. Its roots lead down into the water. Here we swam a few times during the summer. I remembered the first time we came here. Its was warm out and a group of me and my friends where hiking the woods behind my house and walked through 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 the way the setting sun gleamed off the water. Before I knew it I had fallen asleep from the soothing sound of the water.

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

"Yes mom?"

"When are you coming home?"

"Later tonight mom I'm hanging out with friends." I lied.

"Remember it's a school night."

"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 then looked at the time it said 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 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 was Lethia. We don't know what she is our how she came to be 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 pale 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 wouldn't move.

Then it stopped right at the ends of the shadows and the moonlight meet. I stared at it. 'Lethia what should I do?' I said in my head to Lethia that's how we talked to each other.

'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 from it. But it didn't answer, nor did it move. It just stood there like a statue.

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.

"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?"

"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."

"I will mom. Cya later." I hit the end button and then I looked down at my phone to see what time it was. Its was now quarter of ten. I've been sitting here for over an hour. As I put my cell back I looked up and that thing was gone.

I quickly stood and looked around, but didn't see it.

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

'Lethia. 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.'

'Are you sure this time?'

'Yes! I'm sure this time.'

'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. He had golden colored hair that went down to his shoulders. As I looked into his eyes , his eyes where golden-yellow but looked like they were empty, like there was something missing. He was where faded blue jeans and a black shirt with an unzipped black hooded coat over top of it. He kind of looked like a model. I glared at him.

"Can I have my bag back now?"

He didn't say anything, he hardly moved. The only thing that moved was his eyes to look behind me at something.

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.

'Chris…' Lethia said. There was something different about the way she said that.

'Yeah?'

'Lets get out of here.'

'Why?'

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

'Can you tell how many?'

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

'But what about him.?'

'I think he can tell what there doing to. See that look on his face.'

'Yeah I think your right.' I headed to the path looking straight ahead not even looking 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. I stopped at the beginning of the path and looked into the darkness. When that person or what ever he was appeared at 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, like there was nothing that was going to happen.

I just stared at the darkness. "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." It's true I constantly fight off the demons with Lethia's help of course. See the thing is that why they 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 they're after me so I won't put them back.

"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 then back at the darkness.

I then quickly stood up straight. "Shit!!! They found me…" I said softly to my self.

"How do you know they found you?"

"They have us surrounded that's how!!" I then looked around afraid that I was right, and I was. They had us completely surrounded and was closing in on us quickly.

'Lethia I think its time that you take over!!'

'Finally some action.' As Lethia took control over my body, my eyes turned form blue to 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. Lethia 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 Lethia." The leader of the demons said.

"What do you want Saris?" Lethia growled through her teeth.

"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."

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

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

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

"Mind if I join in?"

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

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

The first demon jumped out at Lethia 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, Lethia. 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 and my bag over his shoulder.

"Yeah it was… It was too easy." Lethia 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 there up to something."

"You sure about that?"

"Yeah. Positive." I said as I looked 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 Lethia takes over." I mumbled.

"Then why do you let her take over?"

"Cause I can't fight those things on my own!!"

"Your right you couldn't." he chuckled a little.

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. As we walked up a 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 Lethia 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, 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 and smiled a 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 and started to walk to the path that led to my house, I followed behind him.

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 and why he had attack us 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 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 was in 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 was starting to get a little annoying,- he then steeped a few feet away and handed me my bag, then he was gone before I could blink. A cold gust of wind blew around me and made me shiver a little 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 and stood near my mom's door. "Mom I'm home."

"Ok. Are you ok?"

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

"Night."

"Night." I walked over to my room and stumbled to my side of the room. Me and my sister Anna and our step sister, Katie –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.
