Chapter 6
Well, things seemed to be going well. Execpt for the fact that I would going to get married to a pig for a prince! At least my dad is alright. I don't think I would have been able to go on if I knew something was wrong with him Ever since I just saw that guard get cut in half, I've hated blood ever since. I don't want to see anymore blood or violence. It'll just make me sick. Well, here we are in this place called "EverWorld" in which all the adults know about. We have Merlin as our guide along with this tall dude that I think took too many pills to get that tall. Yep, it's just peachy king. I really don't want to know what else is out there. Perhaps it might try to kill me and my friends or something. All I know now is that I'm tired and I want to go to sleep. I didn't really get enough sleep so, I need more. I turned my head at the sound of my name.
"Amber?" Everyone else was sitting and I seemed to be the only one standing.
"Ummm, present?" I asked in a small voice.
"Did you hear what Merlin said?" asked Mary.
"Nope. Absolutly not. I didn't hear one single word." Christopher rolled his eyes at me and I just stuck my tounge out.
"Oh, so you want to fight, huh girlie?" he asked me.
"Hey, I've been hit plenty of times with soccer balls so don't start with me! I know that I could whoop you any day!"
"Oh, just like I saw you beat Ken the other day?"
"Well, he's much stronger cause he um, works out in a gym!"
"How'd you know he did?" asked Eric. I looked at him and shrugged.
"Amber, just sit your ass down and listen." I rolled my eyes at Christopher and sat next to Mary.
"We must make a journy to the mountain of the gods where we will ask for their help. If we must, we will offer something in return for their help---"
"Isn't Loki still a god?" asked Jalil.
"Why would they listen to me?" asked Loki.
"Christopher, you almost became a god yourself. The god of wine will listen to you since you saved his life then, you can get threw to Zeus by him," said David. My eyes widened.
"You almost became a god?" I asked. He nodded.
"Yes but, I turned it down." I looked at him in shock.
"You turned it down? But why? You could have had everything you needed up there!"
"Yeah, and have Ka Anor eat me? I don't think so! Now, lets get some sleep. We have a long way to travel in the morning." Merlin nodded.
"Yes. Rest is needed." Us four sat together and then decided the sleeping arrangement. I was going to sleep next to Mary and Ken but, lean on Ken while Mary leaned on Eric. Hey, they wanted to make us comfortable so, might as well take the offer.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I opened my eyes to see these blue eyes looked at me. Everything hit me at once. I was on a date with Ken? How could this be? We were sitting in his car making out? I pulled myself away from him and looked at him closely. His hand went on the wheel while his other hand to his head. I had so many questions in my mind right now. How did I get back to the real world? Wasn't I in EverWorld just a minute ago? I picked up my cell phone.
"Hello?"
"Amber? Go to April's house. We're having a meeting there. Are you still with Ken?" My dad. Of course he would be the one to call.
"Yes. We'll be there in a minute." I clicked the phone off and looked at Ken.
"So, where we headed?" he asked.
"Your house for a meeting." He nodded and drove in silence. I finally look at myself. I'm in a dress? Why would I be wearing a stupid dress? Oh yes. My mom picked it out for me when we went shopping. Of course. It was a short black dress that seemed to show my figure with it. The car stopped in the driveway of his house. I got out with him and followed him in.
"It doesn't seem like anyone's home yet." I nodded in agreement as he unlocked the door and turned on the lights. I sat down next to him on the couch. Silence filled the room. It was alright that Ken and I where making out, right? I gently touched his hand with mine. He looked up at me.
"Are you alright?" I asked. He nodded.
"Yeah. Just fine." He didn't sound his happy self like usual. I touched his cheek with my hand gently which made him look at me, surprised.
"It's alright to have feelings too you know." He leaned down and kissed me. Gently, sweetly, like he meant it. It felt so right. Us two. Together. His arms where around my waist and mine around his neck.
"Ken?!"
"Amber?!" I quickly pulled myself back and turned to the whom spoke. My eyes widened quickly. Christopher, April, Jalil, David. They were all there. Standing there in shock.
"Well, this is a nice surprise to come back to," said Christopher with a grin. I could tell he was trying to lighten the atmosphere.
"Hey, what's going on here?" asked Mary coming in. She grinned and yelled back. Eric came up behind her. She turned to him.
"Alright, give me the twenty because I was right!"
"Man Ken, you let me down. I never knew you kissed on the first date." He handed over the money which Mary gladly placed in her pocket.
"You knew this was coming?" asked David. Eric whistled and sat down next to Ken. Mary quickly sat by me.
"So, you wanted to meet here?" I asked.
"Yes. There is something I have to tell you. We're in the real world because when ever you go to sleep, you transfer between worlds. Try to stay awake in EverWorld as much as you can but, only stay awake here. We'll have meetings every night here. Understand?" I nodded toward April. Mary looked at her watch.
"Well, well, well. Look at the time. Us teens have a part to go to! Remember? At that one complex?" She winked at me. I nodded.
"Yes. So, we better get going. Come on Ken!" I grabbed his hand a quickly went for the door. I felt my wrist grabbed and me pulled toward that person. It was Christopher, of course.
"I'll be waiting for you at home," he whispered in my ear. I nodded and quickly went out the door and shut it.
"Well, you guys, lets get going," said Eric. I went with Ken and Mary went with Eric. I picked up my phone.
"Yes?"
"Go to StarBucks, okay? See ya there! Bye!" She hung up.
"What did she say?" asked Ken. I looked at him.
"We're suppose to go to StarBucks." He nodded and headed in that direction.

My eyes opened once more. I was there again. In Everworld. I saw the morning sun rising. Merlin and Loki where already up but, I couldn't say the same for the rest. I looked over toward some sturring but, no one else got up. I joined them by the fire.
"I didn't expect you up so early," said Merlin.
"I normally wake up at this time on Sundays." Did they have days of the weeks here or was it just my imagination?
"We're going to vist Hel today. She'll give us a short cut through her place---"
"Where are we going?" Loki looked at me.
"Somewhere safe." I nodded and then turned at the hand on my shoulder. It was Ken. He sat down next to me and kissed my forehead. I cuddled into his warm arms.
"Good morning," he whispered in my ear.
"Good morning to you too," I smiled. I knew this day was going to be different. This day was going to have some fun to it. I was waiting. I knew that our adventures had just begun along with love that started to blossom between us teens...
An: Well, this is only the first book. I might continue later on but, who knows.
