I pulled myself from the twisted metal. I ran my hands shakily through my hair, some of it had come out of the pony tail. I looked around in the embankment I had ended up in, and made my way up the steep sides of the ditch. I walked across the road, constellations of shattered glass glittered against the wet road. A plume of dark smoke rose above the trees. A few cars stopped, and as I looked through the windshield, I saw people crying and staring at the embankment.
"Hello!" I called, hands cupped around my mouth. I waved my arms out around my head. "Hello!" I called even louder, but the people's focus was still on the ditch. I heard silence in the distance, coming closer and closer. Soon the constellations lying on the ground flashed red and blue as people ran around. An ambulance sat close to the ditch, and police were blocking the road to traffic. The fire fighters were swarming around my car, completely ignoring me.
"Hello! There's no one in there! I'm right here!" But no one listened. My voice fell on deaf ears. A nasty, grinding, metal on metal, ripping sound filled the empty air. I flinched and my feet pulled me to where the sound was coming from.
"We've got a body in here!" A man called out to the others. Suddenly they burst into action, pulling and twisting my roof off of my car.
"There wasn't anyone else in the car with me…" I muttered under my breath. I stared in confusion at the gurney carrying the body past me.

Tires squealed on the pavement and I saw my parent's car. I started running towards them.
"Mom! Dad!" They ran right past me. Didn't they see me? My mom was bawling, and I could tell that my dad was trying to keep stoic.
"My baby! Where's my baby?" My mom screamed at the paramedics. They wheeled the gurney around, and lifted the blanket. My mom dropped to her knees with my dad, who let out a yell, cursing anything he could.
"Not Chihiro! Not my baby! Why?" She gripped my dad's shoulders and buried her face into his chest, her body shaking with sobs.
"Mom, dad, I'm right-" I looked at the gurney. I was laying there, my lips blue, my skin a ghostly white. My eyes were still open. My once lively, chocolate eyes were clouded and looked like the dead fish in the markets. That couldn't be. I looked at the shirt that I was wearing, a dark green-blue tank top with a black cover up and blue skinny jeans. I looked down, I was still wearing the outfit. A giant hole, red and ragged around the edges, crossed my chest. I lightly ran my fingers over the area where I saw the gouge. I didn't feel anything, not even a scratch.
"What's going on?" I sank into a crouching position, my hands placed over my eyes. I rocked back and forth.
"This isn't real, this isn't real." I repeated over and over again.
"Chihiro… Chi..hi..ro." A soft, melodious voice called around me. I looked up and sniffled, wiping my nose.
"Wh-whose there?"
"Come see me Chihiro. Chihiro come see me." The voice got softer, and I rose to my feet. "Chihiro. Chihiro." I sniffled and rubbed my nose clean.

I followed the voice down the street, and soon I was walking a long gravel path that I had walked so many times. Spirit houses dotted the sides and every so often there'd be a marble sculpture looking out at me, a large smile on their face. Before I could blink, I was standing in front of the large red building. The paint peeling off in sheets, revealing the plaster underneath. A gust of wind blew past me into the building.
"Chihiro…" It whispered past my ears and into the dark tunnel.

I took a deep breath and began my trek through the tunnel. A slight drip echoed off the walls, and there was a faint light up ahead. I walked a little quicker, and the light got brighter. Before I knew it I was at a full blown run and the light was blinding. I crossed into the train station. Over the, almost, eight years that I'd been to the Spirit World I came back and checked out the place. I'd walk through the tunnel, and explore the room. Then I'd walk out the open entrance, and hope to see the tiny grouping of buildings that were visible from the building, but was met with rolling hills covered in grass. It was beautiful, but not what I wanted.

Now I was walking through the empty train station, a singular drinking fountain running non-stop. I stood in front of the entrance to outside, and closed my eyes.
"Please, please, please." I repeated my mantra as I clutched my hands together in front of my chest. I closed my eyes and took a few steps outside, until I felt the cool breeze rush past me from behind. My heart sped up, and I opened my eyes.

I let out a squeal of glee as I saw the smoke rising from the cluster of buildings. I broke into a run down the hills, stumbling over my feet. I got to the river and practically flew across the rocks, past the frog, and up the stairs. By the time I got to the restaurants my chest was heaving. I took deep breaths and calmed myself down. I knew I couldn't get ahead of myself, so I slowly made my way to the bridge.

Standing at the edge, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I stepped on it, and let my breath out. I heard the train rumble down the track. I leaned over the railing of the bridge to watch the train pass. I stood up straight and smiled to myself.
"What are you doing here?" I whipped around and gasped. There standing in front of me was the one person who I desperately wanted to see. He looked like he was about my age, maybe a little older. His dark hair was pulled back into a low pony-tail behind his back and he wore a navy blue, wrapped tunic top tucked into a pair of white harem pants. A pair of brown sandals clicked on the bridge as he stepped closer. His emerald eyes shone with anger as he looked at me. Instead of cowering away like I used to, I puffed out my chest.
"I'm not sure Haku, but I feel like I belong here." He blinked a couple of times, the anger in his eyes dissolving to confusion. That's when he finally looked at me; really looked. He finally spotted my glittering purple hairband that loosely kept my hair up.
"Ch-Chihiro?"
