Ok guys, I finally decided to end this story, my first ever fanfic I wrote. Reading my whole story again, I just realized how much it sucks. >. well considering I stopped it for such a long time, it kind of killed the story. My writing's changed over the course of the year, I would think.

Disclaimer: I do not own the Pendragon series, however I do own Candina.

Enjoy…

The End

Holy sht, (sorry I dun curse) Bobby thought, completely stunned. The death of the spy by the "monster candina" was the most horrid image he had ever seen in his life. Worse than the quigs' cannibalism. Worse than the war at Denduron. Worse than touching the corpse of Aja Killian's friend, who was slaughtered by the reality bug, in quig form. Courtney was sobbing, looking away from the television screen, head buried in her hands. Mark had rushed to the bathroom, gagging dry heaves.

What have I done?

"Bobby!" Courtney cried. She looked up. Her face was red, tears streaming down her cheeks. She didn't bother to wipe them. Through sobs, she screamed, "Shut it off!" He did what he was told, and the menacing cackle of Candina instantly stopped. The only sound was Courtney's unceasing cries. God, God, God, Bobby prayed. Oh, God, help me. He went over to comfort Courtney, "Courtney, I am so, so sorry," Bobby apologized. He laid a hand on Courtney's back.

Courtney flinched. "Don't touch me!" she screeched. "I can't believe it…I thought you were the Lead Traveler…why didn't you think that something like this would have happened!"

"Courtney, I-I didn't know-"

"Don't give me that kind of cr--!" Bobby stared at her broken form, her body rising up and down with her heavy breathing. His sympathy for her soon turned to feelings for her. Courtney was wearing a tight pink shirt that outlined the shape of her body. Bobby suddenly noted how beautiful she looked, and he caressed her in his arms.

"Courtney," he whispered in her ear. "I'm so sorry…you know I am…" Courtney finally stopped wheezing, and her breathing became regular. Bobby began kissing her neck. Courtney's breathing began to quicken again, but for a different reason. Her heart beat faster. He turned her face toward him and brushed his lips against her lips.

"Oh, Bobby," she whispered. "Bobby…I'm sorry…I'm sorry…" she said, while she finally turned and pulled his face close to hers.

Their lips drew closer…closer…closer…

Knock, knock. Someone was at the basement door. "Courtney, are you okay?" came the muffled voice of Courtney's dad.

Courtney's eyes suddenly snapped from a dreamy look to complete alertness. She instantly stood up. "Oh my gosh, what am I doing! I can't believe you…how dare you…at this time…when I was so…why? You're not the old Bobby I knew before- Bobby Pendragon, I hate you!" She screamed.

Mr. Chetwynde swung open the door. He barely had time to get out of the way before Courtney dashed out. "Woah, what happened?" he asked Bobby.

Bobby shrugged. "Mood swings, I guess."

Bobby took a walk to the Ave. It was strangely empty. As calm as he seemed, he was steaming inside. How could I have let such a thing happen, he scolded himself. This is all my fault. All my fault.

Walking in one of the alleys, Bobby leaned against the wall of a building. Suddenly he got up and pounded the brick wall with the side of his fist, again and again. "Why…why…why…"he asked himself every time his fist met the wall. It hurt, but Bobby only threw his fist faster. Finally, out of exhaustion, he stopped, and began whimpering to himself. He leaned against the wall, alone in the cold, dark alley, his fists stained with blood.

So many thoughts were running through his head. Courtney was screaming at him, Mark was sick. But most importantly, Bobby had lost; he had lost at his very own territory. Saint Dane and Candina were now going to war, and it was all his fault. It was his fault with whatever happened, whether the territory went with Saint Dane to help him in his quest for all of Halla, or with Candina, whatever "it" would do with it.

But it didn't matter what happened to the territory; Bobby didn't want such a burden anymore. All this Traveler business was killing him slowly, letting him suffer all the emotional pain.

With a look of determination on his face, he slipped his Traveler ring off his finger and flung it to the far end of the alley. It bounced off the wall and landed in a pile of trash.

It was over; Bobby made his decision. He was going to end his role as a Traveler, to live a normal life. All his classmates will wonder what happened to him; they would have a million questions. So would Captain Hirsch. But besides that, he gladly welcomed old life back. Although he would have a lot of catching up to do.

Bobby walked out of the alley to the center of the Ave. He was surprised to see Courtney there, sitting on a bench, staring at her shoes. As soon as she saw him, she leaped up. "Bobby! Oh my gosh, Bobby, I can't…I'm so sorry…I really didn't mean what I said…I just…I was out of my mind…"

"Shh," Bobby put his finger over her mouth to hush her. He soundlessly showed him the finger where his Traveler ring once was. There was a tan line where it would have been. He brought her closer to him, and she put her hands on his face, bringing him closer as well. Their lips grew closer…closer…closer…

This time they met.

Back in the alley, the ring lay on a pile of trash bags. Its glitter and shine that once had shown with all its might with pride in being the ring of the Lead Traveler finally dimmed, then faded. A bulky guy with long, blonde hair casually strolled down the alley. Running his hand through his oily hair, he spotted the ring, stubbed his cigarette, and picked the ring up. He chuckled.

"Kasha, Spader, Gunny, and now Pendragon," Andy Mitchell laughed. "Halla is mine."
