Chapter One2
Sam groaned. “You’re an ugly little brat, you know that!?” She spun her long dirty-blonde hair so it hung to the side of her head, carefully padded against her shoulder. She patted down her jeans and grabbed her back-pack. "Hey, you messed up my mascara!!"3
Her little brother, James, “enjoyed” being her “bestest buddy”, until he became mad. Then he’d kick her and scratch her and pull her hair. He was, in her opinion, a little brat.4
Once she had finally thrown her brother into his bunk, she ran through the dining room, through the kitchen, and out the back door. She dashed through the alley to escape. “I’m going to kill you when I get home!” She screamed, curving around the corner, pulling off the little scrunchie that tied her hair together and letting her coppery golden hair fly free as she ran.5
She ran for about a mile and a half, then she just stood there panting, a furious hate for anything and everything painted across her face. She walked up a few small wooden steps, so that she then stood on a mustard-colored porch, standing in front of a rickety black house.6
She yanked her hand up and knocked on the door, hoping that nobody would answer. Being social was the last thing she was ready to do. Slowly it creaked open a little, so that a small pair of green eyes could study a very impatient Sam up and down. The two eyes finally stopped moving, so that they stared into Sam’s periwinkle blue ones. It opened just a bit more, and a thin hand reached out and gave a small tug to her black Rolling Stones shirt. Sam slowly walked in and looked around, lead by the short girl with the bright green eyes.7
Sam now stood in a large room, with a five teenagers, a couple years older than her, sitting around a large table.8
“‘Sup small one.” The tallest one nodded toward Sam. She had red streaks in her black hair. She wore black mascara and dark, shady eyeshadow that emphasised the reddish-brown insomnia marks under her bloodshot eyes. Her lips were black as ebony and she wore a teal shirt and a pair of dark, ripped, skinny jeans. Around her neck hung a thin piece of string, dyed with something that looked a lot like blood, with a small skull in the center. "I'm Dusk."9
"Oh," Sam managed to say. "This is..." She started, searching for the right words to fit an emo profile.10
The people seemed to ignore her.11
The others introduced themselves as Jay, Paradise, Pain, and the girl who lead her in- Shark. 12
With narrowed eyes and sickly smiles, Sam was caught, hook, line, and sinker.13
***14
Sam had been coming to the black house for about a month. Soon she would be accepted to be one of “them”. Sam winced, thinking of yesterday's challenge. A paper-thin scab rested lightly on her arm, trailing across her delicate wrist. Today would be her final task.15
Shark was the one to introduce the challenge, though she seemed rather reluctant to do so.16
“If you want to be one of us, you’ll have to do one last thing. Walk out onto the street and lie down for ten minutes.”17
Sam walked out and took a deep breath. Then she padded onto the road and lay down. Sam felt as though she was rubbery, and nothing could hurt her. For once she felt happy. She didn’t know why...18
After about five minutes, the quiet exploded violently as a loud roaring noise screamed through Sam’s ears. As the car sped toward her, the joy grew greater. She could see that the car- a big gray SUV- was only a few yards away. Every second felt like a year as the car sped forward. Suddenly, she felt her body loosen and her life seemed as though it had been drained out of her lungs. Everything disappeared.19
Sam screamed. Pain surged through her body, agonizingly stinging ever inch of her. Suddenly, the hurt was gone. She looked around and found herself back on the rough paved road. Suddenly realizing that she had actually made it, and she dashed up to the gloomy house.20
It wasn’t there. Instead there was just grass. All around her was grass. She blinked her eyes over and over again, but nothing was there. She turned around and walked back onto the sidewalk.21
As soon as she glanced at the sidewalk, it was replaced by lush grass. Smiling sunlight mocked Sam's stunned expression. Sam sat down, trying to process everything she had encountered in the last minute or so. She looked up expectantly where the mustard-colored porch should have been.22
“WHERE THE HELL AM I?” Sam screamed in terror. A tear ran down her face, and dripped down her chin, landing into a patch of grassy dirt. She wiped the tears off and screamed. “IS THIS HEAVEN? I THOUGHT HEAVEN WAS A HAPPY PLACE! THIS AINT HAPPY! THE ONLY THING HERE IS GRASS AND DIRT! I GOT IT! I’M IN HELL!” Sam yelled, breaking down.23
She moaned and collapsed onto the ground, uncontrollably crying, incessant tears running down her face. She choked on her sobs a few times. “GET ME OUT OF HERE!”24
"Tsk tsk tsk." A voice said sarcastically. Sam looked up and saw a cloudless sky around the grass.25
"Why is the sky so FRICKIN cheery today? WHY IS THERE SOMEONE TALKING TO ME?" She smiled politely and continued her rant in a sweet voice. "Oh, I get it. It's my conscience. SHUT UP!"26
“Someone’s got anger management problems. You’re so much like Kat.” The voice responded .27
Sam looked around for the voice and screamed again. “AAAHH! GHOSTS HAVE ATTACKED HELL!” 28
“What? One: This isn’t hell. Two: I’m not a ghost. You just can’t see me, Idjit.”29
“YES YOU ARE A GHOST!! AND GO AWAY! GO AWAY RIGHT NOW!” 30
Sam bit her fingernails angrily.31
“Girls can be so strenge.”32
"Strenge?" Sam asked, tears still streaming down her cheeks.33
"Inside joke."34
“Mac? Who are you talking to? Oh, who's she?” a new voice called out.35
“And here she is…" Mac muttered to Sam. "Kat, meet our new friend, the Outsider!” The invisible guy groaned.36
“You’ve got a name, don’t you?" A sarcastic voice asked.37
"How come I can't see you, either?" Sam half-sobbed in her dramatic tantrum.38
"You can see me. I'm a cat. Down here." She said matter-of-factly.39
Sam looked down and groaned. “Talking cats? HOW WEIRD IS THIS PLACE??”40
“Uh, well, I'm not cat. I’m a girl-cat… thing.” There was a flash of light and Sam's eyes widened. She was now looking up at a tall young girl with medium-length, copper hair. Her amber eyes shone in the sunlight. The girl rolled her eyes at the air in front of her.41
“What are you looking at, cat-girl?” Sam said snootily, starting to recover from her breakdown.42
“First of all, my name’s Kat. Second of all, it’s Mac. You know, the one you were screaming at.” Kat stood back into a karate-type stance and expertly punched the empty air. A boy appeared in the air and fell on his back with a thump. He glared at Kat and floated off the ground, dusting himself off.43
“You can fly, too?” Sam frowned.44
“Uh, yeah… kinda… I can float.”45
“But only, like, two inches above the ground or something.” Kat rolled her eyes. "Still, Mac, she's gotta be a little scared right now. You're from Earth, aren't you?"46
"Uh-huh." Sam frowned. "What planet are we on now?"47
"I dunno. It's not really a planet. It's more of a never-ending realm." Mac shrugged, no longer floating.48
"Huh?" 49
"We can't get anywhere from here. It's just a little tiny universe. We can walk for about ten or twenty miles and get back to the same place. We can... well, ok, most of us can't, but if we fly up into the air, we get to the sky on the other side of here. There are seven portals to different realms." Mac replied.50
Kat finished the sentence. "But the only safe portal is to Earth, so don't go anywhere."51
"Okay, so you've been-"52
"-We've been to Earth. We've been to all of the realms, but Earth the most." Kat cut her off, playing with her robe-like top.53
"Can I go back, then?"54
"The realms are mostly one-way nowadays. We need our Shaman to open it back. I don't know how you got in here. The portal's been broken for months." Kat started to walk away. 55
“C’mon Outsider. We’re taking you home.” Mac pulled her sleeve.56
“WHAT? You make me sound like a puppy!” Sam growled angrily.57
Mac laughed. “Sure. Bye, puppy-girl who has no name.”58
“HEY! I do have a name! I’m not a freak!”59
“You mean like monkey-man?” Kat asked, giggling.60
“What?”61
“Never mind.” 62
“Well… do you have any food at your house?”63
Mac floated and asked, “What's a house?” 64
“Where you live. Duuuhh."65
“Wait, wait, hold on!” Kat laughed. “First of all, what’s your name?”66
“Sam… Now do you have food?” She spat back.67
“Oh, hi, I’m Mac.” 68
“Yeah, he’s Mac-and-cheese.” Kat laughed. 69
“Speaking of mac-and-cheese, do you have any food?” Sam reiterated.70
“Yeah, yeah, whatever, if you want food you have to come with us.” Mac answered.71
“How much food do you have, ‘Mac-and-cheese’?” Sam inquired impatiently.72
“Wait, how much mac-and-cheese or how much of any food?” Mac asked.73
Sam groaned. "I'm hungry..."74
“Fine, come on.” Mac groaned. "Let's go."75

omg kaia
remember our thing about the pony??? hahahah sooo much fun. and cameron please don't call me bugface....i mean really? -
-
I wrote it too
Bugface.
If you've forgotten, Rachel started off as my "editor". in fact, she (unfortunately) didn't write a thing in the now-completed chapter four (which I need to add here. It's on my home computer). Anyhow, as much as I used to love your picture, now I hate it. Meh. -
-
Haha
Bugface??? oh cameron.... -
-
thank u
yes, i agree 1000%, we all kno cam sucks. hahahahah
hah
-kk
-
-
Freak.
I wrote pretty much everything except for the first chapter. you wouldn't LET me work on the fourth one. is your memory more refreshed now? I don't beleive that you should be saying that I just started out as your little editor, provided that it was my idea to base the characters on one another and to make her get run over by a car. And you e-mailed me chapter four, and, fyi, it SUCKS. If I'm your editor, then it's gonna have to go through my 'editing' (deleting) before it comes out on SW. Trust me, I go on SW a lot. Bugface. (XD haha that's a good one... remind me to use it on my wittle bro)
I never WAS your editor- I was helping you from the first word. Trust me. I have my references-- diary, memory, expeirience (with lying- i've learned not to trust your claims).
have a nice time in honesty camp.
(i just needed something to insult you with back- you needn't pay att.)
haha. i stole ur phrase - "I need something to insult [you] with,"
and i can change the password to this account.
-kk
-
-
Acts like an idiot says huh?
In fact, I never sent it to you, and just so you know, I really hate you sometimes. If you ever changed the password to this account, then you can have fun writing the rest of the stupid "Magical Land of lalala" on your own. I'm out. Later. -
-
DUDE U SAID A MEAN COMMENT ON MY BIRTHDAY! :( MEANIE
anyhoo, now that i am twelve and of ultimate supreme power of twelveness....
you did e- mail it to me.
"SQUIRRELL????" *faints*
(not in story- me to you)
"Dude u can't just liek get rid of OUR characters i like being in our story!"
"No, ew, we need variation. you're too self absorbed."
"MMph.."
MEMORY REFRESHED?
freak.
there is NOTHING. I. NEED. FROM. YOU. IN. MY. STORY.
i will change the password. its MY story now, thank u very much.
sincerely (not) and with all (none) regrets,
rachel. -

Just take out Mac, okay. And, see, we CANT work together, like I said. Anyhow, I'm entrusting Sarah NOT to tell you my new account (if she does I'll be pissed, but oh well, shouldn't trust her much anyways).
-
-
yah know, sarah's pretty much my best friend
besides kaia, way up there in WA.
and i'm not taking out mac, but nor will i make him a jerk or anything. to me he's just a story character. if this ever gets published (i have some connections) you are most definitely not getting any credit. and dont get all "oh, you'll never get it published, its a stupid story anyway"
g'bye
-kk- -
-
thats because it IS a stupid story anyway.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
It's interesting, I would like to read a bit more so I can fully understand the story... The beginning made sense to me, but the ending just sort oif... drifted off.
-
-
go on my homepage- the rest of the chapters are in a list.
-
-
Kat awsum this is such a cool story...
-
-
thnxalot!
o, and my friend and i who wrote it based everyone on our friends-- i'm kat, and the other person who made this account w/ me is mac
-k
-
-
this is interesting...
-
-
'chris' go crawl up a bread basket
-
-
PIE
-
-
really 'chris'?
its actually kind of funny how pathetic you are... -
-
ummm... what's up w/ him? i thought cam knew we knew it was him
?
haha
-
-
-
bread basket?
haha
-
-
-
Very good.
Very good. I like Mac the best. "NOrthwise" sounds wrong. You could describe characters a little better (I'll do it, Rach, then I'll send you the revised version.). Good.
-
-
really?
i like the character Kat the best. She's cool and she is a kitie.
lawlz
-kk -
you wrote this chapter, remember???
and dont send it to me, you could revise it on here. your collaborated....
