Lee's POV

June 21st

Step, step, step, step. My feet walk in sinc with the others as we crunch the dying leaves on the damp forest floor.

Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch.

I only listening to the breaking leaves, oblivious of the world around me.

Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch.

Will my vision come true? Will we all die?

Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch.

No, Lee. Don't think like that. We won't die. Right?

Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch.

I clench my fists.

Why can't we just live in peace? Oh, yeah, because we're the Chosen Ones.

Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch.

I'm going to kill this source of magic if it's the last thing I do!

Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch.

"Lee, are you okay?" I hear a soothing voice ask me. Peggy. We all stop walking, including me. I groan. "How could I possibly be okay when we all might die?" Peggy looks away from me, mumbling to herself.

She looks about as annoyed as I do. I sigh. "Look, I don't mean to crush anyone's hopes, but I'm not lying. I'm not okay. We're just putting off the inevitable."

For about a minute I only hear bugs and the crushing of more leaves.

"Whatever, Lee. I get that you're kind of tense, we all are." Peggy brushes the situation off.

"It's getting late, we should set up camp," Stampy suggests. Everyone nods their heads.

I look over at Peggy and flash her a small smile. She smiles back. We setting down on the forest floor, setting up camp. I remember what I told Peggy: "We're just putting off the inevitable."

We may be doing so, but that doesn't mean I'll give up, not until this is over, I think.

Not until it's all over.
