Have you ever felt like you were meant for more? Like there is somewhere else that you're meant to be? There is something that keeps you from what you want but you can't figure it out so you just push it to the back of your head, hoping it will stop but the desire grows with each passing minute. Well that's how these girls felt. Girls who have stuck together through everything and have a bond that is so strong it manages to change their life and how they view life completely. Lets just hope it will be strong enough to fight against the evils of the new place they will find themselves in. With the help of their new friends they will finally understand who they are and why this new world feels more like home and the reasons why they wanna stay. This is a story of three girls who discover who they truly are and fight for their new future.

Chapter 1

Third Pov

Remember when life was easy and you didn't need to worry about rent and student debt?

Where did those days go and why did we take them for granted?

Why did we choose to grow up so fast?

That's what is on every university student's mind when they wake up every morning and it was also the same for these three girls who decided to sleep in instead of switch off their alarms. Well at least one actually got up but with so much effort while the other two slept peacefully in their beds.

Katherine woke up with a yawn and knew that it was time to get up. She got up and walked into the kitchen to make breakfast for her friends and herself. She made some Oats and toast with 2 cups of coffee and one cup of rooibos tea. She then went to wake up her two lazy friends.

Kate's Pov

I walked into Renée's room and pulled the curtains and window open which resulted in her groaning and throwing her pillow at me which I dodged with ease.

"Time to get up, young lady. You have Psychology and Lilith has Criminology in less than an hour and it takes like 20 minutes to get there so get your fat ass out of this bed, get dressed and come eat. Your breakfast is probably cold. Come on lazy bones."

I pulled the blankets off her and walked out of the room to wake Lily. When I walked in, I expected her to be sleeping but she was sitting up and looking at her phone. Probably checking social media. I pulled her curtains open to let some light in.

'Morning Lils. Breakfast is ready so get dressed and come eat."

I walked out and went back to the kitchen so I could have my coffee.

I heard footsteps and looked up to see Lilith dressed in a blue dress that went down to her knees and her black heel boots.

How she can walk in those all day I have no clue.

However when Renée entered into the room she looked, to put it nicely, like a zombie.

She was working green Sweatpants and a black hoodie with cyan vans. She looked ready to drop dead.

"Why is it so early? I just wanna sleep. Is that so wrong?" Renée said as she dropped her head on the table next to her food.

I sighed and warmed her food. She drank her tea and had her breakfast. Lilith had already finished and put her dishes in the sink and washed them before leaving them on the drying rack.

Renée soon followed and did the same and went to the bathroom to finish getting ready. We all finished getting ready and made sure we didn't forget our books and laptop for class.

I looked at the clock and saw that we had about 30 minutes left before class started. We headed for the door and double checked that we had everything before  Renée locked up. We headed out of the building and went to the parking lot.

Third Pov

We climbed in Lilith's car and left. We got to campus with 10 minutes left before class started. Kate had art while Renée had Psychology and Lilith has criminology, so they went their separate ways.

They made it to class and waited for the lecturer. They were all so happy because this was the last class before they went on a break for 2 months but the only problem, it was 2 hours long for their first lecture and then still had to wait another hour because they didn't want to get stuck in the traffic. And non of they had a lot of energy left, especially Renée because she was up most of the night working on something, most likely a paper that was due at the end of the day but the girls powered through.

Kate was at least enjoyed her class, mainly because it was a free period. She just had to ask her lecturers some questions regarding her art project. When she had everything sorted she headed towards their hang out spot in the library in a hidden section.

When she entered, she immediately went to Lilith and sat next to her. Renée wasn't there yes as she was busy talking to her lecturer about something regarding her paper. When she was happy she headed towards the library to their spot and sat next to Kate, putting her head her shoulder. They just relaxed for an hour for the end of semester rush to thin out.

They went to the car and headed to the shops to get groceries. They were going on a camping trip in the forest near their apartment building and they just needed to get some more snacks. Kate and Renée handled the food while Lilith handled the drinks. Renée went to get some more chocolate because she has a sweet tooth, they all did actually but Renée and Lilith had the biggest sweet tooth out of the three of them.

Once they had everything they needed, they paid for their items and headed back to the car and headed home. They were home a few minutes later and headed to their apartment. Lily unlocked the door and they all walked in with the bags of groceries.

They packed away the stuff they didn't need for the trip into the cupboards. They then got their bags, which consisted of their clothes, medication, books, their electronics, a map and a first aid kit, and packed the remaining the food and drinks into them. They then double checked their bags before reconsidering how they packed the bags and resorted the food and drinks into their own bag while each girl had their own water bottle. After about an hour of this, everything was packed in the car and the girls changed into something simple.

They were all ready to get going but they decided to chill a little before leaving. There was a café not to far from them so they walked to get something to drink. Once they got there, they walked in and stood in the queue, looking at the menu. Katherine decided to get a cappuccino, Lily got a Chai Latte and Renée got a white hot chocolate. They got some biscuits and sat at one of the tables as they waited for their drinks.

Luckily there weren't a lot of people so they only had to wait about 10 minutes. They got their drinks and left the café but not without noticing a group of boys looking at them with wolf grins and whispering amongst themselves. One of the boys walked up to them before they walked for the door, making the girls groan.

"Hey there, gorgeous. I was wondering if I could have your number. I think I can make you very happy." He smirked as he looked over the three of them before his eyes rested on Lilith.

She just straight up looked at him with confusion.

"Wait, are you asking me or my friends? My guess is me because you're staring at me like I'm some sort of meat that you want to sink your teeth into. And I really hate to be the bearer of bad news-No. Never mind no I'm not so sorry dude but I'm not interested. You're not my type for one your like what? 14? You haven't even hit puberty and your friends over there? Well I just so happen to know that this was a bet to get a girls number but you guys are pussies and can go get fucked. Better yet you can go fuck each other because of how desperate you are to get your dicks wet. So fuck off, I'm not interested and neither are my friends. Sorry, not sorry." She said not even looking at him.

His smirk faded slowly and his face become red with humiliation as he could hear his friends laughing at him. So to fix his ego he just puffed out his chest and said. "You are such a bitch! You know what? I didn't even want to ask for your number. All girls are just the same! Fucking bitch I didn't even want to do this it was a dare."

They laughed as the guy ran away with his tail between his legs and left, not before giving a mock kiss and wave at the group of guys. They headed to the parking lot and got in. Renée was the driver, Lilith was in charge of music and directions while Kate was in charge of the snacks because they knew Renée was going to eat them all if she was left in charge with them.

They left and went on the open road to the forests behind the city. They enjoyed the ride and sang their favourite songs. After about 40 minutes they finally made it to the forest. They looked around for a nice camping ground and found one close to the river. They got out and stretched a bit before getting the gear out of the car. They put the tent up and put the kitchen together before putting the food and drinks away. They looked for a plug for electricity and found one not too far from their tent.

They hooked it up and Viola! there was light. They blew their mattress up and put the bedding. After about 20 minutes they were done. They got ready to hike so they grabbed the basics and hid their other stuff in the car before locking it. They checked that everything was good before leaving with their bags and slime change of clothes just in case.

They walked around for about an hour, just admiring the forest. Renée would pet the little bunnies and Kate would feed them some carrots. Lilith took some photos of the forest to use. They kept walking until Renée spotted a cave. She didn't know why but she felt something pull her towards the cave, almost like there was something familiar about it.

Lilith and Kate noticed Renae heading to the cave and they followed her, getting the same weird feeling Renée had. They took out their flashlights and went inside. They kept walking until they found a pool inside with the most clear water they had ever seen. They were mesmerised.

Kate put her stuff done and looked at the water, putting her hand in. Soon they all were in the pool with their bags next to the pool. They swam around and laughed. Splashing each other and relaxing. They decided to go underwater and explore the bottom of the pool. They swam around and looked at each other. This was something magical to them. They never felt free and peaceful. They never wanted to leave but they knew they had to.

They got out and waited for their clothes to dry before picking up their bags and heading back out of the cave.

What they didn't know was that they were no longer where they thought they were. They were about to discover something new and magical.

They walked out of the cave and what they saw shocked them...
