(Freddie's POV)

I wake in the cave. I get up off the floor with ease. "Odd no pain". I look around the cave to see Sam, Gibby, and Ruben huddled around something. I walk a bit closer and I say "Sam what's going on".

No answer so I walk closer and I notice Sam she's crying. I walk to where she and I see a battered me lying next to her. I appear almost lifeless. I stand over my body and ask myself "I'm I dead".

"No Freddie you are not dead"

I was shocked by the sudden man's voice that emitted from outside the cave.

"Who's there?"

"What you don't remember me" and he walks in to the cave.

Happiness filled my sorrowful heart to see that familiar face, my father. I raced to him and wrapped around him tightly. "I thought you were dead". He placed his arms around my back and said" I am son"

I looked at my dad and notice he still had that rough shaven goatee and green eyes. His eye filled with happiness but sadness at the same time. He put a smile on his face rubbed my hair.

I pulled back from him and asked "if I'm not dead then why am I like this".

"Freddie you were the one who asked those question" he chuckled. Then he went on saying "you are dreaming Freddie but this dream determines your will to survive".

"But how" I ask

"Ok Freddie you that girl over there, she love you and won't give up on you even though you're beginning to slip away but your mind is fighting to survive."

"So my will is keeping me alive"

"YES, you could say that but that won't last forever."

"What will then?"

"I can't tell you that"

"What, why not"

"Because something you have to find on your own"

I didn't understand why he couldn't just tell me. He began to walk away but motioned me to follow. I walked behind slowly. We walked pasted the lake Sam and I dropped into. That memory filled my mind of images of it. A sudden bolt of energy filled my body. I didn't say anything but kept walking behind him. As the memory fade so did the energy.

We walked for seemed like an eternity. We stopped at the tree I found before I was attacked. It still was a peaceful place it sooths me.

"Son this is what would have happened if you weren't attacked" and he pointed at the 2 ghost like figures lying under the tree. One of the figures was me and the other was Sam. I walked closer. Sam was entangled in my arms. I felt a sudden gasp of pain surge through my body. I fell to the floor.

(Sam's POV)

It was mid-day and the sun was shining through the cave. It filled it with light and warmth.

I stare at Freddie's body. His breathing was even shallower and between every breath seemed like forever. I lie next to him and lay my head on his chest and listen to his heart it was slow and faint. I lie there just listening to it, when it suddenly got stronger for a moment. I raised my head in shock and excitement. I lay my head back on his chest and listen again. It was weak and faint again.

I stayed on his chest and just listen for what seemed like an hour. His heart beats every so slow then stopped. I jumped in fear and checked for breathing. It was gone. I did the first thing that came to mind; CPR. I placed my hands over his chest and begin to pump. I counted to ten then gave him mouth to mouth. I did this again and on the 3rd time I shouted "come on you dork" and I kissed him. His heart filled his chest again and was getting stronger. I cried with joy as saw his eyes open and ask "Sam?"

(Freddie's POV)

The pain surged through my body and I stared at my father and he said your body is almost done and he pointed back to the ghost figures. I looked at them to see I was moving my hand above the tree. I began to crawl my way towards them and as I got closer they began to fade away. I reached them with no energy left and I stared at the tree and I saw something carved on its trunk and beside that I was kissing Sam passionately. The carving was a heart with "f + s forever" inside of it.

"Love" I chuckled as I saw a blinding white light. I closed my eyes and it absorbed me. The light was filled sound as it was shadowed by a figure "Sam" I asked. My eyes fully adjusted and I saw clearly I wasn't dead but blinded by the light of the sun. I chuckled but then cried to see Sam. She wrapped around me and we kissed. The kiss was amazing. I sat up and winced in pain but the pain was not as bad. While I sat I sat I saw my dad wave and smile. I waved goodbye too and Sam asked "what are you doing"

"Nothing" as my dad walked away with the dog. He vanished and the dog ran into the wilderness. I smiled and began to cry and whispered "let it be" and I hugged Sam again.
