It was the middle of June, and a set of freaky thunderstorms rolled in, freaky weather was not a normal thing in this city, Marcus Smith stared at the rain pouring down around wondering if all the stories he heard were true of people disappearing. He stood there basking in the rain staring off into space thinking about his life, to anyone who saw him from a distance he looked like a normal guy but for anyone who ever got close to him, his appearance took on a different form.
Marcus was born with a special condition that was not normal—one might even say it was magical; he had the appearance of a female but a mix of body parts of a male and female. He turned and shook his head as he began to walk to his apartment. He dreaded going to his apartment, knowing that maybe his father would be there. He was not on good terms with his dad, and he dreaded just getting home and having a fight.
He began his long walk back to his apartment with each step as he walked, he kept thinking about his dad and everything he said last. <i>“You are no son of mine you''re some type of monster you''re not even a guy you''re some type of girl get out” </i>The words of his father crossed his mind as he walked home tears began to run down his eyes as the memories flooded his mind he didn''t want to deal with his father again so he shook his head one more time then continued walking home.
<figure></figure>
Marcus pulled his coat tighter around him as he walked home, tears came down his face feeling unloved, he never knew who his mother was, but his dad was a real piece of trash with each step down the road he dreaded getting home, thoughts crossed his mind, the last words from his dad. <i>“Leave this apt and never come back!” Marcus screamed back at his father. “I own this place you get out!”</i> he keeps walking thinking of everything from that night, from two years ago.
He came to a stop and stood at his apartment looking at it wondering if his father would be inside, Marcus knew he did not have a key now, but dread was still there, he stood as rain poured down on him staring at his place.
Lost in thought Marcus did not notice a guy grabbing his butt “Hey sexy want, go on a date with me” Marcus blinked and looked at the guy and replied. “You do know I’m a guy right!” This guy freaked and began running as fast as he got away from Marcus, Marcus sighed and shook his head as he looked up at his apartment, beginning to dig into his pockets for his key.
Thoughts crept into his mind again of his dad being on another side ready to jump at him as soon as he walked into the apartment with that dread on his mind as slowly walked to the door to unlock it and enter his place.
<figure></figure>
He put his key into the doorknob unlocked his door made his way into his place walking in he felt better, he was filled with relief because his father was not in his place, he walked to his bathroom grabbed a towel, and dried off his hair made his way to his room, had just got home from college he did not have long till he had to go home his closet friend at work, he needed to all paperwork on the bar taxes.
<figure></figure>
A few hours later he sat at his desk working on his computer doing all the paperwork on bar taxes on everything else, his cell phone began to ring as his closest friend began calling him. He put his pen down and grabbed his phone and hit the answer button beginning to speak with his friend.
“Hey, it’s Lyssa I need your umm help in the bar, I’m working alone and need an extra pair of hands with food and drink, come over and umm slip into uniform and help me!” Utter dread came over Marcus as he listened to his friend on the phone asking him to come to the bar and put on the uniform, he sighed heavily replying to his friend.
“I will be right there no funny business now” his friend Lyssa began to laugh as she replied over the line of the phone. “No guarantees, now just get over here and change and help me with our paying customers” he sighed yet again he replied. “Right, right I''ll be right there” he looked over at the window staring out as the rain had finally stopped, he smiled and stood up and began to walk over to his closet and grab his jacket.

He opened the door from his apartment and started walking to the bar dreading each step because he knew how his friend would act; a thought crossed his mind that he was dreading as he was walking, <i>she going to make me dress as a waitress once again I just know it!! </i>
Marcus didn''t notice it began raining again he was dreading what his friend would do to him would she make him dress as a waitress again or would he work the bar, he sped up his pace trying to get to the bar quicker so he could help his friend with all the work and only moments later did he arrive at the bar.
<figure></figure>
The rain had stopped again, he sighed as he made his way to the bar door and walked inside as he entered, he was greeted by his best friend Lyssa who was tending customers. She smiled and waved Marcus over as she was getting orders from people in the bar.
“Marcus head to the back room I''ll be there momentarily and I''ll help you change” she replied as she took on the customer''s orders Marcus nodded his head as he replied “Right I’ll head to the backroom then see you there” he walked away from Lyssa made his way to the backroom of bar as he entered the backroom notice all female uniforms and other items. He sighed as he knew what his friend had planned for him.
And none of it was good, moments later Lyssa walked into the room. “Strip we don''t have a lot of time, and I need you dressed we have paying customers who need their food” Marcus sighed as he began to remove his clothing, lyssa walked over to a box and pulled out some undergarments. “Here put these on you''re dressing as a girl, not a boy”
“I am so not doing that I''m a boy you''re forcing me to dress as a girl I am not putting that on” Lyssa smirked as she replied. “OH yes you are you will be putting them on, I know how people see you I know you feel like you''re a monster but you''re not, you were born with a pacific body and a shape, so put everything on and get to work” Marcus sighed as he took his clothes off begin change into uniform lyssa give him.
<figure></figure>
Marcus walked out of the backroom as a waitress and began to work taking customers their food and then taking orders, Lyssa watched her friend work, tending tables and taking orders and bringing their food she smiled with joy.
The night went on pretty quickly as Marcus and Lyssa tenant customers and took their orders Tonight Marcus worked at the bar serving drinks to all the paying customers, to anyone that had come into the bar, customers saw Marcus he looked like a waitress not even once did they think he was a girl, Marcus was born half and half he had chest as a girl but his lower half was of a guy, when people saw him dressed as girl he easily fooled them.
Marcus hated the idea of fooling customers, but it paid the bills, so he did what his friend told him to do because she had the best interest in hand, she had been the only person who had seen his life and saw his heart and everything he had dealt with.
The work shift was over now it was time to close the bar Marcus proceeded to help his friend clean all the tables and put everything up. He went to the back room and changed back into his normal clothes, giving a hug to his friend he walked out of the bar and proceeded to make his way home, at least that was his hope. As he started making his way home, he noticed a beautiful glowing blue star but was it a blue star or something worse?
<figure></figure>
Marcus stared at the star, it was enchanting and beautiful he began to follow the star, and he walked and walked following the star he never once thought what was the star leading him to as he kept walking passing people the winds began to pick up the night sky begin to shift as beams light begin twist before him the star begins to change it form.
<figure></figure>
The star begins to twist as the sky begins to rip open, Marcus’s heart begins to race as the star is something more, he was standing right before it, begins opening even more getting bigger and bigger like it is going to eat him up.
<figure></figure>
He swallowed hard as he stared at the vortex, he knew right then his day on this earth was over as he stared at the vortex, he got bigger and bigger it started to suck him in his life fights before his eyes as he was pulled from this universe.
<figure></figure>
As he traveled to another world his lasting thoughts were, will I be now what will happen to me all my friends even miss me moments later, he sprang out of the vortex landing in a new world and starting a new life.
<figure></figure>
What, was this world he had ended up in was whether he safe would he be able to make new friends or would his life be changed forever, questions upon questions as he landed, he noticed someone walking, she had purple hair and yellow eyes and was dressed in unique clothing and so he decided to follow her and ask her a few questions.
