When I talked to him for the first time, everything changed.
He told me he was going to rule the world. His daily life consists of building robots and fighting warriors over ancient weapons. He's partnered with a witch that's decades old. He loves pudding, heavy metal, jet planes, and punk rock. He doesn't have any friends, never had a girlfriend, and I'm the first person ever allowed in his house. His robots are programmed to put me in highest priority, his cousin recognizes me, and his father writes about me in his letters. His eyes remind me of hot flames and if I stare at them too long my whole body burns.
I don't know exactly who Jack Spicer is, but I know I want him. I want to know him, I want to help him, and I want to know what I am to him. I don't want any other girls in the picture, I don't want any partners in crime--
I want Jack, and I want him all to myself.
When I was little, my mother used to tell me stories about an ancient world that contained mystical and strange creatures -created by the gods it was supposed to divide the humans and the creatures. Her stories were mostly about brave Guardians that had the obligation of protecting the other world. This world was to be called the Portal World.
As I grew up in difficult conditions I dismissed all those ideas out of my head. Tales are for children and nothing of it was true.
Or so I thought.
Until the day the guy I hated the most saved me from imminent death.

Deep in my being an unbearable anger scattered itself through my body. I clenched my fists. A violent jerk started building up to my vocal cords. I gritted my teeth to keep it under control but in vain my lips began to move. "My life is not an Illusion!"
The small crowd still gathered inside the café went silent as they all turned to see what was happening. I bit my lip in embarrassment. Jack slowly turned around and instantly met my eyes.
"You'd be surprised", he stated with a disturbing twinkle in his eyes.
