I opened my eyes and squinted at the flash of sunlight shining through them. The sound of a chirping bird flying past me, filled my ears. 

I slowly sat up from where I laid, trying to ignore my aching head. My brain felt hazy and it took me a while to recall where I was and what had happened. 

As I sat up, I rubbed my head and looked around, taking in my surroundings. 

I was lying down in the middle of a grassy field, a few trees stood a little further from me. There were also small hills behind me, filled with blooming flowers everywhere. 

Where am I...?  

Just as I began to wonder, my memories started to flood through my mind, and I recalled my last events with Porter.  

Porter! Where is Porter!?  I quickly stood up and looked around frantically, hoping to spot him near so I could run into his arms.

I couldn't find anything. Not even Porter. 

Disappointment filled me, as I started to walk around trying to look for Porter. 

I was in the middle of a huge field, and completely lost and alone.

The memory of potions colliding and smoke which filled the room came to me and I instantly began to feel nauseous.

That's right...Porter, Kiyomi, Marvin and I were in the school's basement where Marvin captured me and put me under his spell. The last thing I can remember is me calling out Porter's name before passing out...

I shivered as the wind swept past me, and I wrapped my arms around myself, looking up at the blue sky.

How in the world did I end up here!?

I looked around again. "Hello? Anyone there?" I called out in the silence, but the only thing I heard was the sound of wind hitting against the trees. 

I began to feel nervous and scared as no one answered. 

I'm lost and all alone..I need to find Porter..but where is he? Where is everyone..?

I sighed and scratched my head.

Suddenly, as if the world was giving me mercy, I saw someone standing in the distance.

I felt a small wave of relief as I flew a little closer down the large grassy field towards the person. I squinted my eyes at them, trying to see if I could recognize their face. 

It was a little girl, a fellow ghost as myself, who was running around and picking flowers. She had green curly hair, and beautiful blue eyes, wearing a white flower dress.

As I came closer to her, she turned around and looked at me. I stared at her and suddenly felt a feeling inside me I couldn't describe. 

She reminded me of someone...who?

The little girl's face instantly brightened and she wore a huge smile plastered on her face as she flew up to hug me.

"Mommy!" She squealed and wrapped her small arms around me. 

I stood there a bit shocked and puzzled of what was going on. 

"Uh..mommy?" I looked at the little girl in confusion. "I think you got the wrong person...are you lost?" 

The little girl giggled and shook her head. "Lets go home, I'm getting hungry mommy." 

The little girl jumped off me and started to fly off to what I think must be the way to her home. 

Well that was weird...

I stood there for a moment, pondering whether to follow her or not.
