Chapter One: What Happens Now:

Running… Running…. Running Caleb was sprinting away as fast as he could. It was dark outside and the wind was blowing harshly. He turned and heard a twig snap, confirming what he already knew, whom ever was chasing him was still on his tail. As he continued to power on through the woods, he was also thinking about how he got into the situation. He reasoned with himself that if he could just hold on a bit longer he could find a hiding place and hopefully his assailant would pass him by. But Caleb had now been running for a long time, in fact almost 3 miles. Suddenly, he spotted a hole, it was not super deep, but was large enough for him to fit into if he crammed his tall body into a ball. Without hesitation, he vaulted into the hole and hoped that in the darkness his attacker would lose Caleb in the process. Caleb's heart was like a hammer in his chest, as he heard the mystery person get closer and closer. Then suddenly it was quiet. In fact, it was too quiet. To be safe Caleb waited for what he thought was a safe amount of time. After finally letting out a breath he did not even know he was holding he poked his head out and was finally able to stand, just as he turned around Gabriel Abaddon let out a laugh! "Did you really think I would be gone for good?" "Now time to collect the debt you and everyone else and do not think even Miranda is safe, because she is not!" "See you in Hell!" Abaddon laughed evilly and Caleb screamed…

"Caleb!" "Caleb!" "CALEB", Miranda screamed which woke her up from the dream. Fumbling in the dark she felt herself hit something hard, it took her a second to realize it was the floor. As she finally began to wake up, she recognized her surroundings, or wait did she… She was back in her Uncle Collins house and specifically in the room that held the jars of hair representing the Ravenswood spirits? The last thing she remembered she was eating a picnic with her parents, yes, her actual parents, she found them after she had finally passed on, along with all the other spirits that were trapped in Ravenswood, held there for safety and because of the pact. But once the original Miranda and Caleb spirits were released the sacrifice that Esther and Thomas made all those years ago, became clear. Original Caleb and Miranda were able to beat Abaddon and he disappeared. It would have appeared at that point the curse had finally been broken. Only minutes later all the freed spirits were finally able to pass on. Miranda waited a bit longer, as she realized this would be the last time she saw her friends. She bid each of them a heartfelt farewell, until only Caleb remained. Miranda gave him a long hug, and liked how strong his embrace felt around her. All things said, even after her death, he kept his promise to Hannah, he had kept Miranda safe, until she was finally free to pass on to the next world. Her final words to Caleb, were "See I told you everything would be right in the end.", He accepted this final statement with a smile, while also trying to hold back tears. He only had known the living Miranda a couple of days, but he had really created a bond with Miranda's ghost which had made him feel like he had lost a friend he had his entire life.

With a final light peck on his cheek Miranda stepped away from her friends and heard a voice calling, perhaps it was her mother? Miranda did not know, but she followed the voice and disappeared. What she left behind for her friends was a sudden eruption of fire flies who quickly took to the sky free at last from their bonds. All of these memories flashed through her mind as she tried to understand why she was back in her Uncle's house, a place that she thought she would never see again. But she quickly realized, even if the dream she had just experienced was not real, she still needed to talk to Caleb and figure out how the heck she was back in the real world even if only temporary. Would she be able to? She did not even know where to begin to look, but she thought a good first place was Caleb's loft. She willed herself to just outside the loft door, but nothing happened. Even concentrating harder gave no result. Finally, Miranda walked straight at the wall expecting to pass through, instead she felt pain as her head and whole body connected with the wall! WHAT THE HELL she thought, why am I alive again! She needed answers, and she wondered if she would ever get back to her parents…
