A/N- sooo... Here comes the battle. Almost.

I don't own Austin & Ally.

THREE DAYS LATER

Ally, Ratliff, Austin, and Riker were having their battle this day. Ally was afraid, for both herself and for Ratliff. If he didn't die, she would. One of them was going to die this day.

Ally hoped for the best.

"Hey." Ratliff said to Ally. They were both at Ally's house, waiting for the inevitable. They had to head to the woods in an hour. The battle started at three, but it took two hours to get to the spot Austin had set up.

"Hey." Ally said. "Today's the day."

"Yeah. If I don't make it back-" Ratliff started, but Ally placed a finger to his lips.

"Shh. You will make it. I will make it." She was lying to him and to herself.

"But if I don't-" Ally couldn't take it anymore. She kissed him on the lips, for herself.

It felt so nice for her to feel his lips on her own. When they broke apart, Ally stared straight into his eyes.

"You will make it. We will be together." Ally said. She didn't like lying, she never has. But she had to to make him feel better. She knew she wasn't gonna make it back. She had to die for him.

"Okay." He whispered. Ally grabbed her small bag and headed downstairs, Ratliff right behind her.

It was time.

On the way there, there had been many problems. First, Ally got her ankle twisted in a tree root, and Ratliff had to pull her out.

"Are you really okay?" Ratliff asked. Ally nodded, but cringed when she beared weight on her left foot. "Here, let me help you." Ratliff then picked Ally up, bridal style, and carried her a few miles.

Later on, when she was walking again, Ally randomly collapsed. She clutched her head; she was having a vision.

In the vision, she was sitting alone in the practice room. No Ratliff. She was singing a song that at the current time she hadn't heard before. When someone walked into the room, she came out of the vision.

Then she just started hugging Ratliff and crying. Ratliff was whispering, 'it'll be okay, Als.' After she was calmed down, Ratliff asked her what she saw. She just started crying again. She was crying because not what she saw was scary, it was saddening. She was singing a song about missing someone.

"Ratliff..." She sniffled. "I saw, I-I, I saw..." Ratliff shushed her and got her to lie down on the ground. It was surprisingly comfortable to Ally.

About an hour after all of this, they showed up at the site for the battle. Ratliff grabbed Ally's hand.

This was it.

A/N- sorry it was short again... The actual battle will be the next chapter:) and then another chapter after that.
