So I'll hope the song will work the way I wanted and if otherwise. I'm sorry😂😓

"So we have to survive in the woods here?" Lewis asked as they already walked an hour in the woods of Canada.

"Yes, if we don't find Capricorn in time we have to stay the night here," Ravi explained.

"And where is Capricorn? Please say he's close." He muttered the last part as he crossed his fingers.

"You see that valley over there, that's where Capricorn is." Ravi pointed at the valley before him which was still pretty far.

Lewis signed. "Just let's get this over with." He looked around him. "Where's- Flowers! What are ya looking at?"

(You may start the song now)  

Lotus was crouching next to the edge of a cliff while looking down. "Oh!" She got up, a little startled by Lewis. "I thought I heard water so I looked and found out I was right... There is a stream down there with a lot of trees surrounding it. I thought would be a good idea to set out camp somewhere down there near the river and where we'll be sheltered by the trees. The river could also be our source of food..." She gave a shy smile.

"That's really a good idea." Ravi gave her a smile.

Suddenly the heard a crackling noise. They all tensed up when a crack made its way through the ground just in front of a very scared Lotus who was frozen.   

 This is the end

"G-guys!"

Hold your breath and count to ten

The boys came running towards her.

Feel the earth move and then

The ground was now so unstable that it wouldn't last more than a second under her feet. One second felt like ten minutes.

Hear my heart burst again

Her heart beating faster then she could have ever imagined. 

For this is the end

She looked over her shoulder to see if she could survive the fall.

I've drowned and dreamed this moment

She looked back forward to see if she could make it safely back to the boys, but the crack was at least three feet away.

So overdue I owe them

The adrenaline inside made her come up with a crazy plan that she could maybe survive.

Swept away, I'm stolen

The ground under fell down and she pushed herself further from the cliff so that she has a chance to fall in the river.

Let the sky fall

"LOTUS!" The two boys ran faster to the edge of the cliff.

When it crumbles

They looked over the edge.

We will stand tall

Time seems to stand still for her when she was falling.

Face it all together

(You can pause the music now)

She smiled one last time at the boys before she hit the water. Just as she hoped.

"LOTUS!" Ravi screamed as Lotus hit the water.

Lewis, on the other hand, was staring at the water in shock. "Lo...tus," He whispered slowly. Then something hit him. "We'll see you again soon."
