The Hidden World (WarriorsFest Entry)

Prologue:
She jumped from building to building. The wind blew her hair back. The moonlight shined brightly. It was a beautiful night with the sky dark and starry with the correct amount of moonlight. The moonlight accented the woman's features. It made her long, silver hair look as though it was glowing. Her mesmerizing silver eyes changed color every few minutes. From blue to red to white to black... All colors. Her face was pale white and her lips were a splash of red on her face. Her long overcoat spread out behind her as she swiftly jumped from building to building. She stopped on the last and tallest building in the city. Her colorful eyes stared out at the moon.
"I will find you... and show you... You can't hide from me...," she whispered so softly, her words lost in the sharp breeze.

I stared longingly out the window, my cheek pressed on my hand. I could see the breeze blowing the trees this way and that. The trees swayed and the bright sun made the place so scenic. I longed to go outdoors. To go stand outside and have the wind whip my hair around.
But of course, I was stuck in this humid room with my annoying classmates. "Cameron!" someone yelled. I sighed and moved my head back just in time to see a spitball fly past. I already knew it was coming and I knew who threw it. I stood up. Immediately everyone quieted down, even the Math teacher stopped. I slowly turned to my right and walked to the last desk in the row. I leaned over the desk and was almost nose to nose with none other than Tony Starr. I smiled a smile that a psycho would smile at it's victim before it killed the victim.
"So.. Tony," I spit out his name as I nonchalantly glanced at my black nails before narrowing my violet eyes at Tony. "You spit a spitball at me, eh? Think I'd let it go?"
Tony smiled at me but it was shaky. My eyes always made people shake in their shoes. They were a freaky color.
"Of course I thought I could get away with it! Otherwise I wouldn't have done it," he replied haughtily.
I sighed dramatically. I turned towards the teacher and winked at him before continuing, "Such a shame... I really hoped that I didn't have to beat anyone up today..."
I heard Tony gulp and I let out a musical laugh. Instantly everyone was mesmerized by the sound. This is how my life has been for the last 15 years. The teacher cleared his throat nervously.
"The answer is 18," I said to Mr. B and then directed to Tony, "I'll let you off today, because frankly, I'm too tired to do anything."
I walked back to my seat and plopped down. I took on my old position and stared longingly out the window as I waited for the class to finish.

"Cammie, guuuurll! Where have you beeen?!" my friend squealed.
I glanced up at her from my book. "Hey, Angel," I said in a bored tone.
I heard her gasp. I moved out of the way before she could hit my arm. "I want your full attention!" she demanded.
I rolled my eyes and sighed. I threw my book off to the side and turned to my friend. Her bright green eyes, flushed cheeks, and brown hair with specks of blonde greeted me.
"What seems to be troubling you, my dear?" I asked in a mocking voice.
She ignored my tone and sat down next to me. "Well, I just wanted you to know that there's a party going on down the corner."
I yawned and closed my eyes. I leaned back in my chair as I said, "And..?"
Angel scoffed. "I want you to come, duuuhhhhh."
"No can do, sister," I replied smoothly without even spending time thinking about it. "I'm busy."
"Doing what?" Angel asked accusingly.
"Killing guys, fighting evil, delivering babies, sleeping," I said, opening my eyes halfway and shooting her a lazy smile.
"Come on, Cam! I really want you to go! Pleasepleasepleaaaase?!" Angel begged.
I sighed dramatically and sat up, my violet eyes fixed on he cream colored ceiling. "Fiiiiiine," I drawled out. Before she could squeal I added, "But you're fixing me up. I'm not going to all that trouble of readying myself."
I could practically feel Angel about to explode out of triumph. "You'll wear anything I tell you to and not argue about looks?" Angel asked innocently.
I rolled my eyes. "As long as I look good."
Angel squealed and jumped up. We had been sitting on my chairs that were in front of the desktop. I shut down the computer, put my book back in it's place and retreated to my bed as Angel raided my closets.
"No arguing," Angel said warningly.
I grinned. "I'll try, no promises."
"Fine. Now turn around."
I complied and let her get to work on my looks.
***
I stared at myself in the mirror. I was speechless for once in my life.
Not in horror was I speechless but in amazement.
Angel managed to make me pull off a look that I liked and that looked good enough for a party. Let me describe this awesomeness.
I was dressed in a black long-sleeved v-neck dress that ended right above my knees followed by black ripped netted tights and black high-heeled boots that reached about mid-shin. I also got to wear a black leather jacket over the dress. Angel said that I naturally looked beautiful so I had on some lipstick and a little eyeliner to make my violet eyes pop out. My black hair tumbled around my shoulders in waves and my bangs covered the tops of my eyes. I looked awesome.
"Done staring at my amazing work?" Angel said proudly.
I turned and squinted at Angel. She wore a white knee-length flowy dress with white heels. Her green eyes glinted in the light and her brown hair tumbled about. She had a small, white clutch in her hand.
"Can we just go and then leave soon?" I asked her now irritated.
"Fine," she replied.
I grabbed my iPhone 4S and stuffed it in my jacket pocket along with my keys and wallet. I walked downstairs with Angel.
"Dad! I'm going outside!" I yelled.
"Okay. Don't be long," my dad yelled from the kitchen.
We started to walk down the road when I slowed down. I could feel eyes on me. Something was following me. I turned around sharply and saw nothing. But I could still feel the eyes. I looked down and jumped a little. I had come face to face with a silver cat with silver eyes. I didn't like how the cat looked at me. The eyes were too knowing. The cat stared into my eyes for another moment before walking off.
"Cammie! Come on! Let's gooo!" Angel yowled.
"Coming.." I muttered.
We quickly walked to the house of the party and walked into the party. Immediately I was met with the huge noise of the party but as soon as I walked in, all eyes were drawn towards me. Literally all eyes. I always had this effect on people ever since I was a child. Everyone would give me all their attention, they would stare at me in a dream-like state, and they would do anything I told them to do. It was weird. Really weird. I guess having all those people always give me their attention made me so confident. Then again, sometimes the attention was bad and that turned me deadly. I walked into the living room, my head held high. I sat down in the living room and took out my phone.
Someone cleared their throat.
I looked up. "Yes, Angel?"
"Aren't you going to party?" she asked, her eyebrows furrowed.
I shook my head. "Tell me when you wanna leave," I said instead and watched as she walked off.
I went back to my phone and started playing Star Warfare. Awesome game. Quite fun. I started smiling as I killed alien after alien. Suddenly, I felt a presence in front of me waiting for me to acknowledge them. Of course I didn't and continued with my game.
After a few minutes the person nudged my arm, making me slip and die. While I was on a roll.
"What?!" I snapped, looking up.
Tony stared down at me and grinned. "Well, Cameron, I didn't expect you to be here," he said smugly.
I narrowed my eyes and stood up, slipping my phone into my pocket. "Leave me alone. I don't have time for your stupidity," I growled.
Tony stepped back once but tried to remain calm and nonchalant. "Calm down. I just wanted to say hi and talk a little."
"No thanks," I snapped and brushed past him but was pulled to a stop as he grabbed my arm.
I froze. So did he and all the other people around us, their eyes now fixed on the scene. Anger started building up in me. I pulled my arm out of his grasp and turned on him. He looked scared but was trying to cover it. I ran my tongue across the top of my teeth and felt my sharp incisors. They were sharper than normal incisors.
"Did.. did you just... grab my arm?" I asked incredulously.
Tony looked at my arm guiltily then back up at my face. My violet eyes were cold and hard. They were fixed on him with a look that could kill.
"What have I told you about touching me? What did I tell you last time?!" I hissed.
"T-that you'd beat me up if I touched y-you..," Tony stammered.
I smiled a sick smile. "Exactly." I drew back my right arm and let loose a punch to the left side of his face.
I saw blood dribbling from the corner of his mouth which he spit out. I drew my arm back for another punch when I heard a voice that made me stop from sending my fist into Tony's face.
"Cammie! I didn't think you'd ma-...." the voice drifted off as it saw the scene.
His blue eyes met my violet ones. He moved around Tony and stood in front of me. "Calm down, Cam," he soothed.
"Don't tell me to calm down, Stefan," I growled.
"Well, stop beating up the poor guy at the party!" Stefan exclaimed.
I groaned and ran a hand down my face. I glared at Stefan. "You owe me. I will unleash my fury on that guy one way or another someday," I said.
Stefan scoffed. "Cool it, Cammie."
I rolled my eyes. "Angel!" I yelled.
Angel came running over. "What is it?" she asked, her eyes big.
"I'm going home," I muttered before walking out the door.
I decided on walking home slowly. I pondered about my friends. Angel was a great friend and awesome. We might be opposites sometimes but she was still my best girl friend. And Stefan. Well, I've known him for 7 years and he's my best guy friend. We're pretty close. But he annoys me when he stops my fights. My mind started to drift off to the cat I saw as I slowed down my walking and reached for my keys.
I stopped suddenly. There standing in front of me was that cat. It sat in front of me and stared daringly into my eyes. It wasn't scared a bit. I bent down until I was more looking into the cats face then looking down at it.
"Aren't you a wonder, hm? Seeing you twice in one night," I muttered. I had a sudden urge to pet the cat. "Are you a girl?"
The cat mewed. I smiled. "I'm going to name you Moonlight.." I said softly.
I reached to pet the cat and she let me. Suddenly, weirdly, her eyes glowed and I moved my hand back. She arched her back and hissed at me before turning and running straight into the path of a car.
"Wait, no!" I yelled but it was too late.
The car drove straight over Moonlight. I stared at the place where the car had drove over Moonlight in awe.
There was no screech of a cat being driven over.
There was no thud.
There was no body.
Moonlight had just disappeared into thin air.
