Ok, so here's some more. Thanks to Lulu Bee and Ellie for reviewing. Also, well done to you guys for picking up on where the characters came from (fyi, they're all different parts of different people). Anyways, hope you enjoy this part as much as you enjoyed the 1st part.

Chapter 4-

Next thing I knew, the 6 of us were standing in a long dark corridor. Huge oak doors branched off every few metres, as far as the eye could see. I was scared. I didn't think that I imagined the demon that was Miss Greenwood, and I had a feeling that whatever it was lurking behind one of the doors. For a few minutes there was silence, and then everyone began to talk at once.

"What just happened?"

"Where do you suppose we are?"

"I'm scared..."

"Omigosh! This is so cool!"

Grace and Ed were surrounded by a ball of comforting light, breaking the darkness. Ed was literally glowing with a warm light whereas Grace was holding a fireball in each hand seemingly without being burned.

"How are you guys doing that?" I asked.

"I don't know," replied Ed. "I just wished it would be lighter and poof; glow in the dark girl."

"I clicked my fingers and the fireballs appeared. I don't know any more than that," said Grace.

"That's not fair!" cried Annie. "I want a cool power too!" she stamped her foot in a childish rage. We all heard a loud noise and the ground we were standing on crumbled away to nothing. All of a

Suddenly, we were freefalling endlessly through space.

"Oops?"

"Hold on!" shrieked Abby, through the gale force winds that were blowing around us. We clung on to her as she managed to shoot upwards, riding the air currents back to the relative, if uneasy safety of the corridor. As we stood in the corridor once again, I noticed something odd. None of the light from Ed and Grace had touched Hope. She was as much in darkness as if there was no light at all. It was ever so slightly creepy. I shivered despite the heat from the blazing fireballs. Something was behind us, and I didn't want to find out what.

I heard the ragged breathing of something inhuman. Slowly, I turned around and found myself face to face with the monster that was Miss Greenwood. She snarled, baring enormous fangs. Hope put her hands over her face and squealed in terror. There was another cracking noise and I prepared to freefall again, inching closer to Abby.

However the cracking sound hadn't come from the ground. Black lightning, darker than anything imaginable erupted from Hope's hands, knocking the demon teacher to the cold floor. Its body lay there, twitching slightly. It was making me feel quite ill. I wished it was gone. As soon as I'd thought this, a heard a rushing noise from behind me. A huge tidal wave was surging down the corridor. It swept away the demon and then it was gone, leaving everybody dripping wet except for me.

I thought about how insanely cool this all was. It was at this point that a rather depressing thought hit me; I had probably fallen asleep in detention and had dreamed the whole freaky encounter with the immense super-powers and everything.

Suddenly I noticed how tired I felt. Abby and Hope was slumped in a corner, Annie was swaying precariously on her feet, and the lights flickered as Ed and Grace tried (and failed) to suppress yawns. I began to feel drowsy again, only this time it felt nice; like curling up in bed, unlike before when it was dark and sinister. I fell back on the hard stone floor and everything went White...

Chapter 5-

When we next awoke (for real this time?) we were in what looked like the office of some kind of corporate big shot. Everything was White and pristine and we looked oddly out of place in our grubby school uniforms. We were kind of afraid to touch anything.

Suddenly the White wooden doors opened and Mr Jameson walked in. "ah, good," he said, smiling. "You're awake at last."

"Is this some kind of weird dream?" asked Annie, staring at him in disbelief. Mr Jameson shook his head.

"You'd better tell us what's going on right now mister," demanded Ed. "where are we? What do you want? Why?"

Mr Jameson sighed. "Calm down Ed and take a seat girls," he said, gesturing to a cluster of armchairs in a corner. The office really was massive.

"What was that in that dark corridor? Was it real?" whispered Grace.

"Yes it was. As is all of this." he gestured round the room, his voice stern. "That was a shadow demon. They rarely enter this realm at all, and it's amazing that one has resided in our midst undetected for so long"

"You mean miss greenwood?" I squeaked, my voice sounding much higher than I'd originally intended.

Mr Jameson's face was grave. "Correct, Blair. She came after the 6 of you because you possess great power. This is further proved by the fact that you banished her, whilst in the gateway to chaos, the place where creatures of darkness draw strength."

"Power? You mean that cool stuff that happened was real?" asked Abby sounding like a small child on Christmas morning.

Mr Jameson smiled. "Each of you has power over one of the forces of the natural world. Blair, you have power over water; Grace, fire; Annie, earth; and Abby, air."

"Um, excuse me sir, but what about us?" asked Hope.

"Hope Johnson, you and Edwina Barras..."

Ed scowled. She cannot stand it when anyone uses her full name. I could tell she was about to say something either very sarcastic or very rude when Mr Jameson continued.

"You 2 have been given the most important powers of all. Ed, you have the power of light and Hope, you have the power of darkness. You must work together, all 6 of you, but especially you 2. For if you become unbalanced as a group, then so does the universe, and chaos may be able to take over."

"Wait a minute," said Hope. "If I have this power of darkness, does that make me evil? Or am I supposed to go all emo or something? Because that is not going to happen. Ever."

"Hope, listen to me," Mr. Jameson began in a deadly serious tone. "Darkness doesn't always equate to evil, just as light doesn't always bring good."

I racked my brains, trying to think of the book that he had stolen that line from. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Annie doing the same. She reads even more than I do, and that's saying something.

"It's true though," said Mr. Jameson. "The power of darkness doesn't mean that hope has to change anything. It's just a force of nature that she can control. The same applies to all of you."

A thought suddenly popped into my head. "Why are you telling us all this now? Why here? And where do you fit into all of this yourself Mr Jameson?"

He looked flustered momentarily then lowered is voice, "A great evil is rising from the depths of chaos. You must ensure it stays there. You are the guardians of this realm and you must not let it slip into chaos and evil. This place is another gateway. However, it leads to the realm that is the opposite of chaos, where all goodness comes from. It is the one place where mortals are permitted, that is completely inaccessible to hazu and other beings of chaos, the one place where they cannot overhear us."

Ed gave a sigh. "That's a lot of pressure to put on 6 teenage girls, isn't it?"

"Yes, but I believe you can do this. It is your destinies to save the world, so you must remember all I have said. I will now return you to Milton. You must beware of anything suspicious as the gateways are so nearby. Anything coming from chaos or its parallel will come for you first."

"Good to know," muttered Abby.

"Good luck, and try not to die!"

Everything started to fade at that point. I vaguely remember Ed shouting something along the lines of, "Die? Who said ANYthing about dying?"

I could feel myself lapsing into unconsciousness for the third time but at the last moment I remembered something desperately important. I screamed, "Wait Mr Jameson! You still haven't told us where you fit into this..."

There was no answer and I blacked out yet again.

Chapter 6-

I don't know how long it was before the world came back into focus. I'd been having an insane dream where I was being chased by owls. That had definitely been a dream though; the gateway worlds had felt much more real. However when I came to this time I knew I was really awake because we were back in miss greenwoods classroom. Added to that I felt really stiff and sore, also it was raining outside so I knew we were back in England, rather than any weird gateway world.

However now that I was fully awake and back in the relative normality of Milton, I was beginning to wonder if the crazy scenes in the gateway worlds had just been a crazy dream. Secretly I hoped that it was real as I've always dreamed of having magic and being like some kind of fantasy superhero, like Maximum Ride, Percy Jackson or Harry Potter. I realise that this doesn't help my nerdy reputation, but I don't particularly care. The others were evidently thinking along the same lines as I was met with 5 puzzled yet excited, if slightly bleary from sleep expressions.

It was then that I caught sight of the clock. It read 9pm the exact same time that things began to turn weird. How could be that no time had passed? Miss greenwood wasn't in the classroom, making me wonder if we really had done away with her. However there wasn't much time for wondering, as we legged up to our top floor bedroom, in case she returned. We were exhausted by the time we made it to the top floor and crashed straight into bed fully clothed.

Please review. Love you guys! xx
