Morgan Wiccan
Chapter I
The Hidden World
Lydia had always seemed like a normal girl from the outside, she was inconspicuous, hardly even acknowledged by most, but she had friends. Her dark mahogany hair fell over her eyes, but she left it, like admitting defeat, but merely accepting fate. We laughed, her smile not quite reaching her deep brown eyes, the laughter projecting from her, but not seeming real; not seeming genuine. Lydia has always been my best friend, since we met in year 4, I've always been able to trust her, with anything.
"Morgan," Lydia whispered half way through physics. "I've got to take you somewhere tonight, you will come, won't you?"
"Sure De." I replied, puzzled and curious. She seemed to be hiding something, something only I would learn.

We walked along the estate, I was going to drop round my house first, check it was ok with Fe, my sister, to go round De's place, and I got stuff to sleep, Fiona would understand if I did.
We walked another three blocks and through the park to her house, her mum was out, so we had the mansion to our-selves. Well, maybe not 'Mansion', but near enough for me.
"What did you need to tell me so desperately then?" I asked excitedly over a tub of triple toffee ice-cream.
"Well, I kinda' have to show you, but lets eat first."
We finished the ice-cream and then De stood up nervously, and beckoned me to follow through the house. I did, making sure to stick close, I didn't like this part of the house, it seemed so creepy. She stopped, as if outside a door, but all I found to be visible was a dead end to a corridor, oddly, there was no window. I was about to ask what the hell we were doing, when she removed a peculiar, star-shaped key from her locket, and pressed it flat into a previously un-noticed indent of the wall. The wall peeled back from it's position. Within seconds my friend calmly returned the object to it's home, and walked through the door, zombie like, I followed her, stunned beyond belief.
"De, am I dreaming?" I asked.
"No Morgan, now please just listen to me! I found this yesterday, I don't think my mum knows I did, but she might, and I have to share it with someone, I can't keep it to myself. I just don't know what to do!" Lydia walked over to the smallest box in the room, from which she took a key, much like the first, but with a moon rather than a star, she used it to open a second chest, from whish she took a cape, a stick, a large, dusty book and a chain, on which hung a third key, which, in turn, was used to open something, but this time it was a door, and all three keys, sun, moon and star, had to be placed in a triangular shape, and through the door, my adventure began…

Portal to a New Dimension
"De, what's going on? What is this thing?" My mind was aching, how could this be? It was more confusion than I'd ever known before.
"Morgan, this is a…a portal as near as I can tell. It transports you to another place I think. The book explains everything, but if we choose to go, the time is now. Lizzie, my mum, will be back soon, and she won't be happy. Will you come with me?"
"I…I…well where does it go, what if we can't get back?"
"Look Morgan, I don't know, but Lizzie will be home any second, just choose. I won't feel any different to you if you stay, but you must decide!"
"Well, yes De. But from now on, where you go, I go. Agreed?"
"Agreed!" So we set off. We didn't know where we were going, and we didn't care either!
There was a sound from the room we had just left, Lizzie must had returned without our hearing.
"Jump!" I shouted, and we did.
A black cat purred gently at the awesome sight of two young girls, leaping into adventure and probably danger, through a rippling, acid like vortex, in an ordinary house, on an ordinary street.
Majestically, the cat leaped after them. Nimble on it's feet, beautiful. It disappeared into the mysterious abyss.
