THE TWO REALMS

Two

Sixteen years later :- Nikki's thought

Oh, I hate birthdays they are the worst, especially when you were born on Halloween.

" I love birthdays, they are the best, especially when you were born on Halloween. " My best friend ( apparently) ' Dawn said, her gaze fixed on me.

" You know, I hate birthdays right? Especially Halloween, I mean it's just so fake . I don't even believe in magic. " I told her and she replied.

" Yeah, like Twitches the Disney movie, starring... " She was saying when I told her to be quiet.

" Maybe you have a twin sister like Alex did. " Dawn told me, and I glared at her. " Whatever. "

" Are you sure you are not coming for trick or treat. ? " She asked for the umpteenth time, and I glared at her again, and she rolled her eyes leaving in her maleficent costume.

" Bye nerd ! " She told me.

" Bye weirdo! " I told her, and grabbed my phone sitting on my couch as I checked through my f*******: account. All about some dumb holiday! Why would you love some dumb celebration.

I am Nikki Hunter, I am sixteen years old, I was born an orphan but I was adopted by my late dad. According to him, his daughter died, and his wife left him.

I needed a parent,he needed a child, and then he saw me, he said that he felt his sub-conscious told him to name me ' Nikki, and while he was writing my surname, rather than writing Jackson he wrote Haunter and he didn't know when, like he was possessed. Now, he is gone. He told me not to grow so fast and at least believe in magic and that was what would make me happy but I don't see the point.

I wasn't comfortable with the necklace, and I would have removed it years ago, but before dieing he made me promise never to remove it, that it was his inner voice again. I had no choice. I survive based on scholarship and sponsorship by the government.

At school, I was called weirdo , because of the crescent on my forehead and the matching necklace.

Call me a nerd, but I really miss school.

VIKKI'S THOUGHT

You know, I love birthdays, but my school and other people apparently don't love mine. Ask me why.

I am Vikki Haunter, the only human alive in the Netherrealm. Well, I can't be classified as a human any longer. I am now a Spirit master ( Arayan )

Spirit Master or Arayans are special creatures who have the abilities to control certain elements of nature and different powers. I was still two months old when my parents ' James Haunter, and Alex Haunter faced Carla Williams. She was a human, but unfortunately discovered the Netherrealm with my dad and my mom , they were just high school students then.

Carla was in need of knowledge and that way she discovered the ancient ruins of the Arayans. She touched the large crystal ball, and ended up having the powers of the Arayans, however the power surge broke the crystal into sixteen gems.

Carla grew wicked, hence , she was called Dark Araya, my mom and dad who had been fighting wicked Netherrealmers, and then they fought against Dark Araya, and they found out that the only way to seal Carla was to put the crystals together and put it in front of her, however they had only gotten sixteen gems, and on their way to get the last four gems, Carla caught up with them and then she transferred her powers to me and my twin sister.

Since, only sixteen gems were used she was sealed for sixteen years, but if all were combined, she would be sealed forever, but unfortunately only sixteen were found.

I was raised in wealth since according to legend I and my sister can seal her away, but I believe that I can do it alone. I mean, the mark on our foreheads display our powers, she only has a thin part, but I have majority of her powers.
