Hey! So this is a new story, but it's different because I'm actually collaborating with my fellow friend! She's writing the story on Wattpad, so if that's easier for some of you, I'll leave a link in my profile that will take you straight to the story.

The story is about two BFFs named Rose Ardene and Mack (Mackenzie) Lewis. They're the biggest geeks at school, but they soon find that their lives are a bit more complicated than they expected.

This will be in a series with 3-4 books (my friend and I are still deciding)

The series is called When Dreams Become a Reality

I hope you guys enjoy!

Rose's POV

Come on. Just keep walking. A few more yards.

I wanted nothing more than to pass out right then and there, or at lease sit down, but Ethan said something about a cave not to far from here. He had talked to his dad over the phone in the last town we stayed in, and his dad said we could rest in the cave for awhile. I told Ethan and Mack that we had to keep moving or we wouldn't be safe. I didn't want them to have to carry me much longer. Mack was already supporting me and helping me walk.

Come on. Just keep walking. A few more yards. I willed myself to go on.

"Rose? Are you okay? Do you need to take a break?" Mack asked. Her voice was strained, and she sounded tired. No duh, Sherlock. What did I expect her to be? Happy and energized?

We were attacked at our school, had been on the move for almost a week after we were told we were demigods, and I, Rose Ardene (Mack's best friend) was dyi-really badly hurt. I tried to answer her, but I couldn't find my voice. I was trying so hard just to keep from passing out. I managed to shake my head no, but her worried brown eyes held my blue, grey ones. We had been best friends since we each could remember! She knew when I was lying, but she seemed to let it slide. She turned to shout at Ethan.

"Ethan! Are we almost there? Rose needs to rest, and we need to treat her leg." Ethan turned around, nodding and panting.

"Yeah! We're almost there! Just a little further! My dad said it would be safe for us to rest in the cave! How's Rose's leg? Any better?" Ethan's voice was a little ways ahead of us.

He was able to travel through the forrest a lot quicker than us, so Mack and I sent him ahead to scout. You know, being half goat and all.

He looked back to check on us, and for an answer. Mack looked at him, and silently shook her head no. Their eyes met for a few seconds, and I knew they were silently discussing what to do with me. As much as I refused to admit it, I knew I was really badly hurt, and by the looks of it, they knew as well. When Mack and Ethan finally broke eye contact, Ethan looked at me. He studied the wound on my leg, eyes full of worry.

When the hellhound first got to me, I tried to play it off as fine, but it quickly got worse. Now, I'm like this. Not able to walk or even defend myself or my friends. If only that stupid hellhound hadn't been there. Gods. It messed my leg up pretty bad. I just wish we could hurry and find the cave, or at least somewhere safe to rest. I felt so weak...I couldn't talk, I could barely move...ugh. I hated it.

"E-etha...n...are w-we a-alm...ost...t-there?" I managed to croak out. The sound of my own voice shocked me. My throat was so dry, and overtime I spoke, my throat closed. I sounded so weak, it was scary. What was worse was that it had taken all my strength just to say that! I guess I surprised Mack and Ethan as well, because they stopped dead in their tracks. I wasn't expecting Mack to stop, so when she did, I tripped, and landed flat on my face.

"Oh my gods! Rose! I'm so sorry! Here... we need to get you to the cave...Ethan! Are we almost there!" she helped me up, and we continued walking.

"Yes! Yes! Gods..." His voice quieted...I could only faintly hear him..."Gods. I can't loose someone on my first scouting mission. No. I won't. I won't mess up like dad did...I can do this. I can..." He came over and helped Mack support me. He sounded extremely tired and annoyed, but his eyes were full of worry. I hope he wasn't annoyed at me. I was slowing them down. We were all tired, and I just wanted to say I could walk myself, but even if I could find my voice again, we all knew it was helpless.

"Only a little longer. I promise. Hang in there okay?" His tired, strained voice was laced with concern and worry. I really wanted to say I was fine, but I couldn't. I couldn't even muster a word! I managed a weak nod. I started see black spots dance across my vision. They were seeping into my mind, overcoming my senses. Crap! Come on! I can't pass out now! Not when we're so close! I could feel myself loosing consciousness. I heard Mack and Ethan telling me to hold on just a little longer, but they sounded so far away. I was trying, trying so hard, and yet, I was giving in.

The last thing I remember was passing into the cave, and being greeted with an older version of Ethan, and a woman with blond hair and a familiar orange t-shirt sprinting towards us.

You know what the worst thing about losing consciousness and slipping into the dark abyss is?

The dreams.
