Disclaimer: This Story was slightly inspired by the web comics El Goonish Shive by Dan Shive and Misfile by Chris Hazelton. No characters or situations from these comics were used, I just advise them to you if the enjoy the idea of men turning into women or women turning into men. I also mention The Gunslinger being the Dark Tower Books by Steven King. Nothing is used from Mr. King but a 1 sentence reference Sadly neither has a sexual nature. All other characters are created by me or based, loosely, on people I know. No offense to any Australians, he just needed some kind of sexy accent and Australian seemed like a good one to go with (read and you will understand)

Kayden

Chapter 2

*The Only Thing You Have to Fear is Death Himself...And His Minions*

I was walking along through a forest, looking down I realized I was following what could only be called, a path. The ground was crisp and could with snow on the branches and I could see mist rising from my breath even though I felt no cold. Soon the trees began to thin and the moonlight shone down lighting my way as I left the forest. I followed the path as it joined a road across fields and low hills watching as the sun rose and set over me and the ground froze and melted. It appeared to be late springtime when I finally saw something ahead of me. The road lead to a city, all lit up as it was once again night time.

I entered the city following roads aimlessly. I traveled through back alleys and along houses small and large until I found myself exiting the city on the other side. The road led me into another forest. Getting tired of walking I left the path to find somewhere to sit and found myself a clearing. I sat down on a stump on the edge of the clearing and it was several minutes before I noticed the figure standing in its center. He was dressed all in black, with a hooded cloak shrouding his figure.

He turned his hooded face to me and beckoned me to walk towards him and as I did my figure turned into two. One a boy with long blond hair and the other a girl with long black hair, dressed in similar black clothing. We stood in front of the cloaked man and I found my consciousness inhabited the male of the two that had split off from me, I also heard muttering.

This was the point when the creature removed its hood and I saw that he had the face of a man but dark blue skin, red eyes and a pair of curved horns growing out from his long black hair. If this character was not a devil of some sort then I was a chicken riding a unicycle. Considering how odd everything was going, I looked down to make sure I was not a chicken riding a unicycle, Thankfully I was not.

At this point the devil like creature spoke. “So you would be Kayden, a pleasure to be seeing you both again.” Oddly enough, he spoke in an Australian accent, and shook both the hand of the girl and I.

“So I’m guessing you both have some questions for me, missing memories, feeling like you’re in the wrong skin, maybe even double memories, but don’t worry it is my job to work that all out. Now before there is any more confusion, do either of you go by a nic-name? Because I can’t be calling both of you Kaden all night.” He said this all in a very businesslike, but nice, manner, only pausing to get a response.

The girl who I was quickly realizing must be some kind of my female counterpart spoke up, “Well, I suppose I could go by my middle name, Emily.” she said shyly.

“Right, then Kayden,” he pointed at me, “And Emily it is. So I’m guessing you two would like to know what is going on then?” figuring it was better to bite back a sarcastic remark, I just nodded, as did, the newly dubbed, Emily.

“Well that is a right long story and...oops, stupid me, always forgetting the important things,” at this point fire sprang up behind him shooting flames and the air became thick and dark, his eyes began to blaze and he held up hands filled with flame, “I am Cursious, Dæmon of hell, servant of Death, bringer of souls from this life into the next ” at this point all the flame and darkness went away leaving just Cursious, “Well one of them at least, what will how many people there are these days, one bringer of souls into the next world would never be enough. Ah but on to my story, well I suppose it is more your story than mine. It all started hundreds of years ago in England.”

“There was a young Woman named Mora who lived in a small village far from anything. She was unmarried so it was her job to sit up with the dead of the town the night after they died so no evil creatures could steal their spirits. As such she was often seen by the dæmon who’s job it was to take the souls to the world of the dead. Every time he came to take a soul he saw Mora. He saw her beauty, her kindness, her patience, and he fell in love with her. So one night, when Mora’s grandfather had died, he decided to show himself to her and comfort her. In her state of grief she did not question his presence but welcomed a comforting shoulder to cry on. The next time a villager died be showed himself to her again and they began to talk. Over the next year they continued talking and they soon fell in love and the dæmon took her as his lover *.

“During the winter the head Druid in the town died and the man who replaced him was a vile man. He demanded more from the people in their sacrifices and many families had to choose between sacrificing their only food or sacrificing their children. This was a great tragedy for the village but allowed Mora more time with her dæmon as he came to take the childrens’ souls. The druid also found himself in love with Mora and tried to make advances on her, but her love for the dæmon blinded her from his intent. That spring she became pregnant with the dæmon’s child, don’t look at me that way, we’re as capable of reproducing as you humans are. The druid questioned her long and hard as to the parentage of her child but she claimed he was a man from another town. In his anger at her he demanded that the town sacrifice Mora to appease his gods and she was killed by them.

“A new girl was made to sit up with the bodies, starting with Mora, and when the Dæmon saw that it was his beloved’s body lying there he took her, body and spirit, not returning her to Death as he was supposed to. He took her outside the worlds. For she was a woman living in the neutral world...” He finally paused, as Emily and I both looked completely confused, “Right, right, you have no idea what that means. Which means I must work backwards. You have heard the theory that there are an infinite amount of universes in which everything happens? Say you make a choice in one world, you make a different choice in another world, and in maybe in another world you are a cat and can’t make either choice. Well you have heard of it right? Good, well this is wrong, there are three worlds and three worlds only. There was one war that lead to three results, it was a war between Heaven and Hell. In one world Hell won and the world is overrun with sin and destruction and most the people live sad, depressed lives, in the second, Heaven and Hell ended in a draw. Good and evil are constantly battling and there are many sad but also many happy people, in the last world, Heaven Won and order and goodness rule leaving most people happy. So as I said, Mora lived in a neutral world, as such her baby, or as such babies as she was carrying twins, would have ended up neutral. But the dæmon took her out of time and the world to a place much like this one where he children were born. But as they were living children they could not survive in a none living world so they had to be put back into the world. But being born outside, they were born one as a child of light, and one as a child of darkness. So the dæmon took his children and placed them into the worlds, one into the light world and one into the dark world then went back to live with Mora in the world outside the worlds.

“Unfortunately, the dæmon made a mistake. He put the chid of light into the world of darkness and the child of darkness into the world of light. As such they have changed things over the many years, as have their decedents. As the children of a dæmon they are immortal until they sire one child, at which point they die, so they have always had heirs in your worlds. But a child of light cannot live in a world of darkness nor a dark child in a world of light without causing changes. And as such they have lead to problems over the years, unexpected deaths and such which we have had the duty to fix, you two were such a case. Neither of you will remember the events that lead to me having to come fix things, because you cannot deal with those memories, especially you Kayden. Your memories would have left you as a destroyed man, unable to function, barely living, always being taken care of by people. But in this world I can tell you in a way that neither of you can be hurt.

“In case neither of you have guessed, Emily is from the dark world and Kayden is from the light. Emily, when your boyfriend went off to school in Montana, he met a girl there. She was a descendant of the child of light and as such she brought joy and happiness to others, she was optimism and laughter themselves and he could not help but fall in love with her. In his adoration for her he left you in the harshest way, he told you of his love for her and how you could never measure up. This lead you to take your own life which, while not uncommon in the dark world, was not meant to be your fate, the two of you should have lived to be married and have a life together. Due to this your soul is not yet ready to pass on, but your body cannot take you back.

“This leads us to your alter, Kayden,” At this point I cut him off, partly because Emily obviously needed a moment to accept what she had just heard, and partly because I had a question.

“But in my world I have a twin sister, Kali, but Emily doesn’t, how do you know I am her alter and not Kali?”

“Ah, a very good question, Kali is indeed also her alter, but she is also your alter, she is from the neutral world. This happens whenever twins are born in any world, if in the dark or light world, the alter will be taken from the neutral world where, oddly, they don’t have twins at all. Don’t worry your sister is fine and normal and will cause no problems, but as you were affected by the dark child’s heir and not Kali, it is you we will need for this. But back to what I was saying, in your world Kayden, you met a young man several months ago. He was rough and angry but you decided to befriend him anyways, after a few weeks he admitted to being in love with you but as you have Roland, you turned him down...in the nicest way I’m sure. This drew him into a rage, he kidnaped you and took you to a small house his family owed where he beat you and raped you for several days, by the time the police found you your spirit was broken, you were like a dead spirit in a living body.

“So with the two of you we needed a body and a way to help Kayden so here’s the plan. Neither of you may have noticed yet, but you are back in time several months. You will not have much control over what happens to you over the next few days because you will be kidnaped soon, this cannot be changed otherwise the need to change it would not exist and well pretty much the universe as we know it would go kablamo. So this time you will have help, Emily will take over when you are there and this may sound harsh I know, but being from the dark world she has a mind and soul that is prepared to deal with it. Also Kayden will be there to comfort her and keep her going. After this it will be up to you two. I would certainly advise giving Kayden full control of the body, but living only being able to watch through someone else’s eyes could be hard.

“But like I said, that is up to you. Now when you wake up your memory will be restored up until this point...except your memories about sex up still now, for some reason they won’t keep probably due to the rape. As soon as you get kidnaped Emily will be pushed to the front of the brain, Kayden will be put into a part of the brain where he will not be able to feel anything but still be able to talk against him afterwards, and he will be given brain control again afterwards. Any questions?”

After several moments of fear, uncertainty, confusion, anger, excitement, and a whole number of other emotions, Emily asked, “So, will we be seeing you again?”

“Well actually yes, as long as you two are sharing a body you will be able to come here and interact, you will also be able to call me, check your pockets there are cell phones, numbers besides yours include pizza, chinese, and mexican food and let me tell you, your dreamscape makes a mean calzone Other than that I’ll be the one taking you two for judgement when you die.” he said cheerfully, and I suppose that was less scary than the other things he had been talking about.

“Well if there are no more questions back to the real world with you both. Roland will be waking up about now and you don’t want him getting freaked out by you not being there ”

And then I woke up, remembering the dream perfectly but certainly not believing it until I heard a voice in my head, “Kayden? Can you hear me?” she sounded scared.

And in my mind I thought, “I’m here, don’t worry” and pictured myself holding her hand.

Sorry no sex in this chapter
*smut I wrote based on the idea of the dæmon sleeping with a human will add it as the next chapter but it is NON STORYLINE As in that scene does not and will never connect with the actually story, just a fun sex scene based on these characters. not added just yet as it needs editing (as does this but that one needs super editing...things like comas and capital letters)
