In the Ghost Zone…

Sam Manson was running through an obstacle course. She was wearing combat boots, light purple leggings, a black dress with laced up sides on the bottom, a purple jacket with screened arm sleeves, black bracelets and choker, a purple hair tie, purple lipstick, a class ring with her name engraved in it, and an engagement ring. She had to jump over walls, climb rock walls, shoot targets with an ecto-gun, crawl, swim, and more. Her goal was to beat her best time and get in some practice of fighting ghosts. When training to fight ghosts, Sam would run through an obstacle course, practice with real ghosts, or play battle scenarios through her mind and then try them with a dummy. She wasn't even entirely sure why she fought ghosts, maybe it was the right thing to do or she thought it was fun. All she knows is that a ghost named Frostbite told her she was a ghost hunter. Over the time in the Ghost Zone, she became a professional and expert on all things ghost. She has been there for a year now, and it had been fun but she felt as if something was missing.

Flashback…

Sam opened her eyes. She was in a huge container filled with a strange liquid. There was a mask covering her face giving her oxygen to breathe under the liquid. She was in some type of lab. There were weird glowing polar bears walking around examining different things in the room. Where was she? She looked around again and her eyes landed on a bear with an ice arm where you could see the bones through. He was wearing a gold bracelet and belt with a stone in it. He looked familiar. He looked at her and smiled, beginning to walk towards her.

"Hello Sam" the bear said.

"Sam, is that my name?" she said. Her eyebrows furrowed in frustration as she tried to think. The polar bear frowned.

"Yes and I am Frostbite. Don't you remember?" Frostbite asked.

"No, I don't remember anything at all" Sam said sadly. Frostbite thought for a moment before remembering something he heard a few days earlier. Clockwork told him that Sam wouldn't remember anything. He told frostbite to lie to Sam and not tell her the full truth about her past.

"Well Sam, you are a ghost hunter, and I am the leader of the Far Frozen."

"A ghost hunter?" Sam said not believing the weird glowing bear.

"Yes. We found you in the Ghost Zone after fighting a ghost. He used a tranquilizer on you made for ghosts. The liquid inside wasn't made for humans, so you got sick after the chemical started reacting with your body. You were so sick that it put you in a coma" Frostbite said.

"A coma? How long was I out?" Sam questioned. Frostbite frowned again. He didn't answer. "Well are you going to tell me?"

"You were out for three months."

"Impossible. I shouldn't have woken up than. Why should I believe you? I don't even know you."

"I am Da….your ally" he quickly said.

"Okay I will believe you if you answer a few of my questions" Sam stated.

"Certainly. Ask anything you please."

"What is my last name?"

"Manson."

"How old am I?"

"Twenty."

"What is the ghost Zone?"

"The World where ghosts live, but you are a human."

"Do I live in the Ghost Zone?"

"Yes, anything else" Frostbite asked.

"No, thank you for answering my questions" Sam said satisfied with the answers.

"Now get out and get dressed, you have a lot of work to do." Sam looked down and noticed that she was only in her bra and underwear. Her face flushed and turned red. She nodded before climbing out of the vat.

…End of Flashback

Sam knew very few ghosts. She knew the ones that she fought and everybody in the Far Frozen. Frostbite always talked about a ghost named Clockwork and someone the people of the Far Frozen called 'The Great One'. Nobody would tell her anything when she asked questions, they would just tell her that it wasn't time for her to know. Frostbite assigned her on missions. Each mission would have her fighting a ghost to get something they stole back. They weren't that fun, but they were something to do. In the middle of most of the missions, she would freeze up and remember one of her memories. The one time she was fighting Ember and regained a memory.

Flashback…

Ember was lying on the ground panting. Sam had an ecto-gun pointed at her ready to take the final shot to knock the musician unconscious, but she froze up. She was remembering something.

There was a ghost in a black and white jumpsuit trapped in a cone of ghost energy. He had neon green eyes, snow white hair, and a white 'D' on his chest. He broke free and was yelling to somebody. Whoever they were they started to sing very badly, but she couldn't see who it was because she was focused on the ghost boy in front of her. He broke free of the energy and started to fight Ember until he sucked her up in a, thermos?

Sam snapped out of her trance and saw Ember floating in front of her laughing at her. Sam aimed a net at her as she flew away and caught her.

…End of Flashback

She was slowly remembering some small things like her birthday, favorite color, books, that she was an ultra-recyclo vegetarian, goth, but mostly she remembered that ghost kid. He would come into her mind during battles. Nobody told her what he was to her. Maybe he was a friend or ex-boyfriend or family. She didn't like to think that she might have dated ghosts because they are dead and don't age, but maybe she has and didn't remember. Frostbite wanted to talk to her today about a really special mission that she is going to be given from Clockwork personally. Sam walked into a conference room in the Far Frozen. Frostbite was sitting in the room with Clockwork. They were supposed to talk about the mission that Clockwork would give her, not get it now. She wasn't ready or prepared, but she had to stay calm so she walked over to them and sat down. "Hello Sam. I am Clockwork, the master of all time."

"H-h-hi" Sam stuttered.

"I am here to give you your mission" Clockwork said seriously. He turned old to young as he said it.

"Wow that's weird how he changes age" Sam mumbled. "I thought that I wasn't supposed to get the mission until a few days" Sam said confused.

"Well some things came up, and it is urgent that you get started right away" Frostbite put in.

"Sam, we want you to go to the human world. You will be sent to Amity Park and…" Clockwork began.

"Amity Park? Isn't that my home town?" Sam asked remembering the name from one of her memories.

"Who told you that?" Frostbite demanded to know.

"Nobody," Sam said putting her hands up defensively "I just think the name sounds familiar."

"Well you were born in the Ghost Zone, and your parents were killed by ghosts so that is impossible" Clockwork said. "Now back to your mission. You must go to Amity Park and find the resistance. The resistance is a team of citizens that are fighting against a ghost named 'Dark Danny'. You will join them and their quest. Dark Danny is a very powerful ghost that nobody has ever defeated in over a year. He took over the town and destroys everything in sight. He is getting more powerful each day and has forgotten about his humanity. Some ghosts from the Ghost Zone have joined the humans because Dark Danny has visited the Ghost Zone a couple of times and destroyed numerous things. After he is defeated you will help fix and clean the town than return here when you are finished. Do you understand?"

"Danny, Daaaanny, Dannnyyyy," Sam repeated the name and rolled it off her tongue testing it out "I like the name and I understand."

"Good, now you will be leaving first thing tomorrow morning so get some rest" Frostbite said, gently pushing her out the door. Sam walked down the corridor to her room. She jumped onto the bed and fell asleep immediately waiting for the next day. The mission sounded promising and exciting, she couldn't wait to start.

"Good Morning" Sam said to Clockwork and Frostbite as she entered the training arena.

"How do you feel?" Clockwork asked with a grin on his face.

"Great and ready to go" Sam said with enthusiasm. She had backpack full of clothes and a few ghost hunting weapons.

"Okay here is the portal to Amity Park" Clockwork said waving his staff and a green portal forming in thin air. Sam nodded and put her first foot through. "One more thing, it is a word of advice. Remember that some lies told to you are meant to protect you so don't hold a grudge against someone who lied to you. Also look deep inside yourself for the truth and follow your heart. Good luck" Clockwork said then disappeared. Sam looked at Frostbite and nodded to him before stepping her way through the gateway to another realm.

A/N: Finally to Sam. Sam's outfit is the same as the picture at the top. She is 21 now but the first flashback was three months after she passed out. Clockwork of course knows what is going to happen. Review.
