Chapter 1

"Come on, i dare you!" My best friend Katie pleaded. I was at her house, having a sleep over with 2 of her other friends.

"This is stupid, other people have tried and failed to call Death." I pointed out, trying to convince her to leave it. I was a little superstitious, and when it came to summoning death, well i wasn't eager.

"Exactly! So you shouldn't be so scared!" Katie countered, handing me a 13 1/2 inch mirror. It was a dark gold color with designs like vines around the reflection part. A single jewel was at on the top, gleaming like a star.

Katie was kinda rich, so she had a lot of cool stuff. She had her own chocolate fountain, her own horse, her mansion, and her own team of servants to care for her! Ok, she's stinking rich!

"Come on! Don't be a baby!" Katie taunted, twirling her chocolate brown curls. She knew just how to push my buttons, and no one called Jenifer Ruth Tidwel a baby!

"Give me the mirror."I said through my teeth, brushing my pixie bob brown hair with streaks of golden blond out of my face. I was shorter than the rest of the girls, but i made up for it in looks and personality.

Smiling, Katie handed over the mirror which was lighter then i had expected. I really didn't wanna do it, but i had to do it. If i didn't, i would be the laughing stock of the 8th grade. I hated being made fun of, and i really didn't want to go back to all the torment i went through before i met Katie.

Katie was a new kid at our school 2 years ago, but everyone knew who she was and how much she was worth. The whispers and gossip were sparking even before she walked through the door of the school.

Her father was a big producer in Japan, and her mother was a big time chef who was taught in France. Her older brother, Tod, was a big time surgeon in New York. She was from a fancy bordering school on the border on Japan. Katie decided she wanted a change in scenery and moved to out school. She stays in a mansion close to the school that didn't exist until a week before she arrived. That's how everyone knew about her. Our builders may be the top in the country, but they don't know when to close their mouths. But they never gossiped, every word was always 100% true.
On the first day she came, it just so happened to be the scheduled day of my bullying. The school bully actually makes appointments for the students! So, it was my day and i was a mess! I was terrified, looking behind corners before i walked down the hallway and everything!

Flash back!

When the bully, Britney, was cornering me, throwing down my books, Katie turned the hall. Everyone knew better to get in her way, so it was a ghost town. "What do you think your doing?" She called down the hallway.

"Its none of your business, new girl. Just move along and mind your own business 'fore i make you an appointment!" Briney called in her southern accent. Even though everyone in our town had gone to the same schools together, Britney never lost her accent from Georgia.

"It never is my business, its never anyone's business. But that doesn't mean i cant stand up for someone who cant stand up for them self!" Katie preached to her, slowly walking down the hallway.

"Girl, there's nothin' you can do about it, so move along." Britney stood up to her full height. Britney skipped 2 or 3 grades, so she always stood above everyone else. That also made her ruler of the school.

Katie kept walking towards us slowly, never stopping or speeding up her pace. Then i saw something cross Britney's face that i never thought anyone would ever see. Fear. "Now don't you come near here, i mean it." Britney's accent kept getting stronger as Katie got closer.

"I can go where ever i want to go. It isn't your school and it isn't your hallway." Katie spoke with highly with a little giggle here and there. I guess it was frightening because Britney started to back away.

"Stop it, now i'm sayin' stop it!" Britney tried raising her voice to try and scare her away. She actually tried every trick in the book that she wrote herself to try and scare this new kid. Nothing worked.

Finally Katie was right in front of her, but Britney had found her confidence. "Now new girl, your gonna go back to class and your gonna keep quiet.

Your not ever gonna repeat this to anyone. Your never ever gonna interrupt an appointment ever again, and i wont ever make you one. Now is that clear?" Britney finished, standing tall with her arms crossed.
SLAP.
Britney fell to the ground, eyes wide and staring at the ground. Slowly she raised her hand to her red cheek, and rubbed it a bit. Then she looked up at Katie who still had her hand raised. Katie had slapped Britney.

"No, your gonna listen to me now. Your not gonna bully anyone ever again. Your gonna be perfectly nice to everyone you meet," Katie's voice was getting stronger and a little louder as she went, "Your gonna go and apologies to every student you ever bullied. Then your gonna do everything in your power to hold an announcement in the gym. There, your gonna apologies to the whole school for being a bully, and promise that you wont do it again. Then i will introduce myself and speak a few words. You are now going to all your classes, and you also will never skip if you have been... Now is THAT clear?" Katie's eyes bore into Britney's eye's and soul.

"Is that clear?" Katie repeated. When Britney nodded, Katie grabbed her by the collar and lifted her up. "I don't think that's how you answered your elders and respected in the South. Now i dont wanna repeat myself after this, Is that clear?" Katie looked straight into her eyes.

"Yes Ma'am." Britney spoke with more volume. She had never spoke to a teacher like that, and i dont even think she spoke to her mother like that anymore. I just stared open mouthed the whole time.

When Katie let go of Britney's collar, Britney dashed to her classroom. Katie turned to face me and looked me over. Then she walked over and lifted me to my feet with surprising strength.

"Now are you all right? Did she hit you or anything?" Katie looked me over some more and brushed me off with her hands. I shoke my head because that was all i could do. No one stood up to Britney, no one. Not even the teachers were brave enough to speak up.

"Well, i'm Katie, and your are?" She held out her hand, in an attempt to get me to shake it. "Um, Jenifer. Nice to meet you." I took the hand and gave her a good shake. I imagined it would be the kind in catoons where the strong person lifted the weaker person up and down while shaking the hand. It wasnt like that. She was really gentle with me.

"Well Jenifer, i imagine we will be great friends. What do you say?" Katie looked at me thoughtfully, but full of question. "Of course!" I cried out. This girl had saved my but, and she was pretty nice.

Katie gave me an ear to ear grin, then jumped on me in a giant hug. "Friends for ever!" She cried out. I was kinda surprised and really happy too, so i hugged her back and cried out "Friends for ever!".

End of Flash back.

"Go on, do it! You know the words and everything!" Katie coaxed, leaning forward in excitement.

Sighing, i looked into the mirror. It was pretty clean, and the jewel seemed to glow. "Ok then, here goes nothing." I told them, then i fogged up the mirror. With my finger, i wrote the number.

42-42-564

"42-42-564, just in case you want to knock on Death's door." I said the chant, which i don't think you really had to do, but i liked it.

At first, nothing happened. Then the whole mirror fogged up grey, the number disappearing. "Oh my gosh, its ringing." Katie whispered, staring in shock at the mirror. The 2 other girls, Taylor and Alexus, stared first at the mirror, then at me.

"I... i told you we should not of done this!" I cried out to Katie, who was still looking at the mirror. Then she pointed at the mirror, her eyes widening. Looking at the mirror, you could see he fog and smoke clearing, revealing a single figure in a room surrounded by grave stones.

"Hello? Maka, is that you?"Came a high voice, which was coming from the figure. The figure walked closer to the mirror, so he was visible. If you didnt know who you were looking at, you would see a tall man in a black robe with a pale face. If you knew who it was, you would see Death.

"I heard your little poem, so i... oh, your not Maka. Your not even from this dimension. But you did call me..." Death thought out loud. I just stared at the legendary Death, not believing what i was seeing.

"Well, you'll have to come here so we can decide what to do!" Death's shrill voice snapped them out of their shocked state. "What do you mean 'You'll have to come here'?" Taylor shouted. "Ya, we cant come there!" Alexus cried out.

"Your right, you cant." Death spoke with a serious voice. All the girls looked at him in question. Katie was the first to understand. "NO! JENIFER HE'S GONNA..." Katie began but didn't finish in time.

A bright light came from the mirror, blinding them all. None of them noticed a hand made out of energy reach out to them, grabbing me and pulling me into the mirror. I didn't even feel it, but i was being pulled into the mirror.

As i went through, i began to feel my skin burning and transforming. I wanted it to stop, but i couldn't even cry out because it was also soothing and had a beautiful feel to it.

I really didn't know what was going on, but when my vision came back i was clutching the mirror hard against my chest.

That was when i realized something. I was completely naked. I started to cry out, but a white cloth was thrown at me. Death was turned around with his hand over his eyes so as not to peek at me.

Looking at the cloth, i noticed it had lots of pins and clips. 'He wants me to go greek style?' I thought, but decided silly clothes were better then being naked in a room with a grown man.

As soon as i had finished, a boy around my age burst through the room. He had black hair with three white lines around half of his hair. He didn't look very happy, and he didn't even notice i was in the room.

"Father, what is the meaning of this? I thought you were going to deal with that stalker women who keeps showing up at our house! You told me you were going to either scare her off or send her to the other side of the planet! I had to call the police, and they are just going to keep her for a week!" The boy complained to Death, well, i guess it was his father. Wait Death has a son? Weird.

"Um, Kid, i would like to introduce you to our GUEST. The one that has been in the room while you complain." Death pointed at me. Kid spun around to face me, and then blushed.

So he really didn't know i was in the room. "Terribly sorry, i thought we were alone... Um, what are you wearing?" Kid asked gesturing towards the gown i had put on. I looked down and blushed right back at him. "Um, well Mr. Death gave it to me to wear, so..." I responded, but Kid was turning to look at Death.

"You gave her a table cloth?! Someone like this should be given proper clothes! Wait a minute, why did she need new clothes?" Kid turned from me to Death a few times, then decided i could explain.

"Um, well when i arrived i didn't have any, so..." I began but Kid cut in. "Wait, you came here naked?" Kid said with his mouth open, totally shocked.

Suddenly, i started to feel dizzy. The room started to spin, and i couldnt even see straight. I looked at them franticly, not understanding what was going on. Kid looked at me kinda strange, looking from me to Death.

"Oh, i guess you should know that she's about to faint... probably due to traveling by mirror." Death spoke evenly to Kid, like this was normal. Kid just looked horrified, then turned towards me.

Then the room started to go black and i felt myself falling. I glanced over at Kid and saw him running towards me looking very frantic. Then everything went black as i was engulfed in darkness.

Kids POV

The girl looked at me confused and a little afraid. I had no idea why, so i looked from her to my father a few times before he decided to say,"Oh, i guess you should know that she's about to faint... probably due to traveling by mirror."

I looked at him full of shock because she had traveled by mirror, and horror because he was just bringing up the fact that she was going to faint! I turned to face her in time to notice her start to sway.

I dashed across the room with the speed of a Shinigami, just in time to catch the girl in his arms. Just then, Liz and Patty ran into the room, panting like dogs. Liz was wheezing real loud, while Patty plopped down on the ground in exaustion.

"Kid... You cant just... Leave us.. Like that." Liz wheezed, not noticing that he was carrying the girl bridal style. Patty just nodded in agreement.

Kid ignored them, walking towards his father. "Father, i want you to tell me what is going on! Why did this girl arrive by mirror and who is she?" Kid questioned, not wanting to be patient.

"Her name is Jenifer Tidwel, and she is from another dimension. Somehow, she called me on my mirror using that one on the floor." Death explained, pointing towards the floor.

"How she managed to call me, i do not know yet, but i will find out... She also used Maka's little poem when she called me up. Strange, very strange." Death finished, looking thoughtfully at Jenifer.

"Well, i'm taking her home. You can do whatever research you need to do." Kid grumbled, walking towards the only door. "Come along Liz, Patty." He called towards his weapons.

Looking up, the girls finally noticed the fact that he was carrying someone. "Um, who is she?" Liz asked skeptically, eyeing the beautiful yet small girl. "As far as i know, her name is Jenifer Tidwel. She's from another dimension, and she arrived by mirror." Kid explained.

"I'm taking her home, now come on girls." Kid stated shortly, then started to walk off without looking back to check if he was being followed. But he really didn't need to, because he knew they would follow him anywhere.

"She's pretty." Patty commented, then skipped over to Kid. 'Something weirds going on.' Liz thought, but followed any way.
