A/N: Yes it's another one of those "girl gets trapped in an alternate reality" stories. I can't help it, it's my favorite plot to play with haha.

Although the morning's rain had woke me, I found myself outside my college campus with not a cloud in sight. I was finally almost finished with my last semester of my life! Hopefully for a while.

My walk from my class-to-class was quiet until I met up with my roommate. At first Anna and I had nothing in common. We didn't fully bond until one day I caught her playing Dragon Age: Origins. Of course seeing Anna's preppy personality and girly nature it was hard for me to picture her playing in sort of video game.

"Rose!"

I smiled at her while she ran over, "How was class?"

"Boring, since I've finish all my papers ahead of time."

"Show off," Anna scoffed as we continued our trip back towards our dorm. The air was nippy for May so our pace quickened.

"If you're finished with all your work then why don't we go home and romance a certain blond!"

I couldn't help but laugh, "But aren't you behind?"

"Ahh who cares!"

"As you wish."

I swear Anna literally skipped all the way to our dorm room. It's true when they say you make your must lasting friendships when you hit your twenties. And I'm 24.

As soon as we entered our room Anna ran and changed into her pajamas. Clearly she had no plans on leaving the computer screen. Of course I followed suit as she prepared everything for comfortable seating and snacks.

I couldn't help but noticed the dark circles under my eyes. The warm water dripped from my face after I finished up a good face washing. I groaned, "Anna why didn't you tell me that I have two black eyes? No wonder why me teacher was looking at me funny."

"Sorry I didn't noticed."

Clearly, I thought. I sat myself down next to her as the options menu for the game displayed on the monitor. She clicked start without hesitating.

"Have you not been sleeping well?"

"No," I dragged out, "I don't know if it's because of the finals or what but my dreams have turned into night terrors."

"Well, hopefully you will be free from you nightmares," she pointed at the screen, "Just imagine him before you go to bed and everything will work out."

"Anna, you scare me sometimes."

She laughed, "I know."

We played for hours and weren't even close to being done with the game. As much as we wanted to get past the introduction of the newest game, it took Anna forever to create our character. Fortunately we managed to recruit must of the companions, finally our eyes betrayed us. We both agreed to call it quits for the night and headed for bed.

I remember collapsing. My sleep was indeed better, maybe, Anna was right.

At least that's what I hoped.

My nightmare started up again. I was climbing! Needles pierced my lungs as I tried to catch my breath. There was thousands of high pitch shrieks behind me, chasing me. The environment was extremely familiar. There was a figure in front of me, a woman. Was it Anna? Maybe she's going to wake me up for this nightmare. I grabbed her hand without thinking.

Suddenly I felt myself falling and in an instant my body slammed against the cold floor. I heard heavy footsteps and scrapping of metal. Too exhausted I slipped back into my dreams.
