A quick googling tells me that there is no real difference, though 'among' is the more modern form. |

I wouldn't get too caught up in the proper usage of words, just think of how you perceive the two. 'Amongst' to me, has a little more proper or uptight ring to it, while among has a more casual, colloquial sound. Word choice like this is going to give your story it's voice. How would you like your story to be read? |
