CHAPTER 1

Miranda was in class as usual. It was another boring day. At least she didn't have to work that day. She worked at a dojo teaching the kids karate and the such. As soon as school got out she was heading strait for home. There she could finally finish her art. Not many people liked Miranda. She was a loner. She didn't care for anyone. She didn't belong to a 'click' as the people called it. She didn't believe there should be any 'clicks' And that was just one reason no one liked her. The other was because she was just so nice. At least she was nice unless you got her mad. Her mom says she could make hell freeze over, or she could even scare the devil when she got really mad. The last bell of the day rang. The prison was out for good. Well at least for the weekend. All Miranda wanted to do was go home. Make a small snack, and relax. Her mother on the other hand had other ideas.

"Miranda! There you are." Her mother says to her.

"Yep it's me." Replies Miranda to her mom.

"Where are you going?" Asks her mother

"To put my things in my room?" Asks Miranda. Her mom never asked her what she was up to unless she was leaving the house late. Something was up.

"Miranda you are now 17 . You will be 18 on October 31st." Says her mom in a casual manner.

"Yah. So?" Asks Miranda. Her birthday was in two weeks. So?

"I was thinking of inviting a few friends." Her mom starts.

"Mom no! a few friends to you is at least 30 people!" Miranda says horrified.

"So? How many do you want?" Asks her mother.

"How about we compromise? 15 friends?" Asks Miranda

"All right deal." Says her mom.

"Yes!" Miranda cheers.

For the next two weeks her mom invited all the family and the 15 guests, and got everything ready.. Miranda was not to pleased.

"Mom we agreed on 15!" Miranda says to her mom.

"Not really dear. You said 15 guests." Her mother replies.

"No. I said 15 friends. That includes family." Miranda says to her mom quit stubbornly. Miranda was not that social and hated being the center of attention. But she loved her mom so she always stuck out these gatherings.

"Sorry dear the invitations have already been given out." Her mother replies.

So the only thing Miranda had to do was to get her outfit done. Her mom wanted it to be a costume party. The only thing her mom didn't like was the fact that she couldn't pick out her daughters outfit. Miranda had it all planed out. She had sown it together herself. Now it was the day before the party and she was helping her mom get all of the pre-made foods ready. (Yep. You know what that means. The cookies, candies, cakes, and other such things. Not a pretty sight.)

"Mom, do we really have to do all of this? Why can't you just order them?" Asks Miranda. She was frosting at the moment over 100 cupcakes.

" Miranda come on! It's fun to make them!" Says her mom in a cheerful voice.

"For you." Miranda mumble to herself. She didn't want to get her mom mad at her so she just kept that comment to herself. "Hey mom?" Asks Miranda.

"Yes dear?" Asks her mother.

"How come you never talk about dad? I've never even seen a picture of him." Asks Miranda. She had always wondered who her dad was. She was turning 18. She should know something about her dad.

"It's far to complicated Miranda. Besides you never wondered about him before so why now?" Asks her mom in a worried tone.

"Just wondering." Replies Miranda. Soon all of the food was made that needed to be made ahead of time.

The next day

"Ring! Ring! Ring!" Miranda hears in her ear. She tosses over and hits her alarm off. The "Ring! Ring! Ring!" continues. Oh! Her phone! "Hello?" Asks Miranda tiredly into her phone.

"Happy birthday!" Is heard on the other end.

"Thanks. By the way I'm too tired to think. Who is this?" Miranda questions into the phone.

"Sorry. Your mom said to call this early yesterday. It's me! Rachel!" Was heard on the other end. "Look I got to go. Mom wants to call her boyfriend see you at the party! Bye!"A 'click' was heard on the other end. One of her acquaintances had called.

"Mom! Why did I have to get up so early?" Asks a very tired Miranda. Don't get her wrong, she always woke up with the sun, or earlier. But she stayed up till 3:00 a.m. working on the finishing touches to her outfit.

"Honey! We need to get these decorations up!" Her mother called up the stairs.

The rest of the day flew by. At 3:00 she ran up stairs to get ready. She was ready by 3:30. Her outfit was a short ninja outfit, with pants underneath. She had a silverfish trim around the sleeves and bottom of the outfit. It looked kinda like a short kimono with slits up the sides to her hips. The coloring was her favorite. White with blue, violet, light green, some gray, and light pink thread all sown into the fabric into a desighn of a phoenix, dragon, fox, and a tiger all on one part of the fabric. She loved it. Her pants were a dark violet, almost black. One had an asp coming up one side, and a swan flying up the other. Everyone loved her outfit. Her relatives and the other 15 started to arrive at 4:00. Everyone had a blast. Miranda got lots of gifts. The one she liked the most was a necklace given to her from someone. There was no name on the gift. The necklace was a mixture of gold and silver intertwined together in a sort of braid with a metal she did not know of. There were small jewels melded into it. There were emeralds, rubies, sapphires, opals, diamonds, and precious stones. Stones such as jade, turquoise, tigers eye, there were even some pearls. There was a stone in the necklace she did not recognize. It was dark, almost blackish/violet. But she couldn't say anything, there were many other stones and jewels she did not know that were in the necklace. By 11:00 everyone had gone home. Miranda was so worn out. Her mother and her cleaned up the mess. She collected all of her gifts and brought them upstairs to her room. By the time she got to bed it was 11:30. She wore her usual sleeping outfit. Short shorts and a tank top. The shorts were midnight blue, while the tank top was a more silverish blue. She fell asleep instantly.

At exactly 12:00 there was a large flash coming from Miranda's room. Suddenly there was nothing. Miranda had disappeared into thin air. Her mother came to her room. When she did not see her daughter she knew where she had gone. She had gone to her fathers world. That was their deal. She would have her until she turned 18, then her father would have her for the rest of her life.

There was just on small catch. If Miranda could awaken, harness, and control the power deep within her that neither her mother or her father knew that she had she could in fact be able to travel to both places. But nothing is ever that simple. Sooner or later she would have to make a choice where she would rather live. No one is meant to travel between parallel worlds.
