Chapter 1: Not in Kansas anymore

Saxon Budell walked up and down her driveway at 7 o'clock in the morning, on a Friday. CD player headphones were firmly implanted in her ears, while Evanescence's "Bring Me to Life" filled her head. She passed around her 1998 Ford Ranger pick-up, waiting for her watch to go off to tell her it was time to haul ass to school. Her pace was steady, but slow as she walked; why work now when she had gym first period?

She looked down at her wrist and saw that it was 7:20. Not time to go yet. 'I can leave a little early, I guess.' She walked up the stairs to her porch and grabbed the brown Jansport backpack that was sitting in an old wooden rocking chair, before heading to her beat up truck. True, it was old, and it didn't look the greatest, what with its chipped black paint, and rusted exterior, but she loved her vehicle, and even named it her baby.

This, of course, was much to the chagrin of her boyfriend, Jason. He wanted to be her baby, but it was a joke among their group of friends that she loved her truck more than she loved him. She would never admit it, but it was true-she didn't really love him yet, even though he told her daily that he loved her "with all of his being". OK, Jason. Lay off the crack for a while, won't ya hon?

She knew that he didn't really love her; boys were so quick to declare their love, and ever so quick to take it back. It was actually kind of funny, since of the few boyfriends that she'd had, all of them had told her that they loved her. Well, that was rather odd considering that all of them now had new girlfriends, which they no doubt, told that they loved as well. Huh. Funny how that works, isn't it?

She climbed into the front seat, and set her bag on the seat beside her. She turned her keys into the ignition, and buckled her seat belt. As she drove down her street, she popped Evanescence into her outdated CD player, and hummed along, all the way to school. Parking in her usual spot next to the other pick ups on the east side, she grabbed her bag, and headed for the huge doors that marked the entrance to the school.

As she walked up the steps to the maroon Marengo High School building, she shifted her pack to the other shoulder. 'Oh, wait! Crap, algebra test today…and I didn't study!' She sighed and raised her face to the clouds. "Why me?" she wondered out loud, and then continued up the steps.

'OK, when figuring irrational square roots, you take the biggest factor that's a rational square and…' She grabbed the handle to the door, and felt a pull on her palm. It was weird, like the door was sucking her in-wait! What?

'What the hell?' The pull became stronger, as it sucked her in by her palm. 'I have to let go!' She tried to release her grip on the handle, but her efforts were futile! She began to panic, as the world around her faded away, and she entered a…purple?…abyss where she seemed to be floating to the…bottom? She "landed" on what seemed to be a big scalyhorse with two heads. Sitting in the saddle next to her was a little girl with black hair and soulful brown eyes. She was dressed in one of those traditional Japanese outfits. 'What were those things called again? Kimonos, that's it!' She had on an orange and yellow kimono with red and green markings in the shapes of circles and lines. Patched designs of each fabric made up the dress, and she had a single small ponytail on one side of her head.

'Who's she?' And weirder yet, there was a…toad thing sitting next to her, dressed in a green kimono, and holding some freaky staff. 'What is going on?'

The group was following a tall, slender man with long, gorgeous silver hair. He was dressed in a white kimono with red markings, with bushy pant legs and a loose fitting over coat. He was wrapped in spiked armor, with a yellow and blue sash around his waist, and a white fluffy piece hanging over his right shoulder. His ears were pointed at the tips, and he had two red stripes across each cheek. A blue crescent moon adorned his forehead, and his features were hard, and cold. His face was solemn, and Saxon got the feeling that the guy probably never smiled in his life. He walked with an air of dignity, of someone who had power, and knew it.

At his hip, sat two swords. One was slender, and its handle was stripped with blue and yellow cloth and had a gentle yet powerful aura coming from it, while the other's was black, with a circle of metal at the tip, and had an evil aura coming from it. She shuddered; she didn't like that particular sword.

The little girl suddenly turned her head in her direction, and laid eyes on her. At first, she was silent from shock, but then, a high-pitched scream could be heard for at least three miles. Her companions, turned to look at her, to see what was the matter, and before she could blink, the scary-looking guy had her by the throat, and glowing-green claws were pointed in her face.

"How dare you trespass my lands, human? Do you not now who I am?"

Saxon, was terrified beyond words, and couldn't bring herself to answer his question. She gathered her courage and looked into the face of her attacker. His hard amber eyes pierced her very soul, and she stared back, unblinking, as she grew more and more terrified, and every second the smell of poison grew stronger, and his deadly claws inched their way towards her face.

His face was emotionless! How could someone have such uncaring eyes? Eyes were supposed to be the entry into your soul! Did this man have no soul? She tried to swallow, but he tightened his grip on her neck, his claws now digging into her skin, drawing a thin trickle of blood to travel down her throat.

"Answer me human, if you want to live a little while longer."

She continued to stare into his unblinking eyes as she struggled to answer. 'What have I gotten myself into now?'
