After traveling on the flat surface of the tunnel floors, I found it hard to walk through bumps and bushes of the forested area surrounding the entrance to the tunnel. Abby led the way to the well, though Anthony was close behind her. Abby stopped and said, "The Well of Souls should be in there. I feel the barrier."

"So I'm just supposed to keep walking?" Anthony asked. He stepped forward, sun still clenched in his hands.

"Yeah," Shane told him. "If you look, you can see the well now." Shane walked forward with a handout. He was stopped by the barrier, his hand pressed against it.

"Be careful," Abby said to him. "If you push too hard, the barrier will shock you."

Shane backed away instantly. Just as Anthony took a few excited steps forward. The barrier buzzed, sending a light across its walls as he passed through it effortlessly. Anthony turned around and said something, we couldn't hear him.

"We can't hear anything from inside the barrier," Abby told Anthony. He nodded, giving us a thumbs up, and he started towards The Well of Souls.

When he got there, he bent down, touching the well. He stood and walked around it, brushing the side of the well when he seemed to have saw something. He looked at the well, then back to us. I couldn't help but think something had gone wrong.

After he got over whatever bothered him, he started to recite something. I wished we could hear it, but we could only watch. He started to light up, an outlining glow of yellow, then white, and back to yellow surrounded him. He finished by placing his sun on the well. The light that surrounded him burst out, stopping at the barrier before us.

Anthony jogged through the barrier back to us. "I'm The Savior, but I can't restore everyone," he said, looking each of us in the eye with a confidence I didn't know he'd had.

"What do you mean by that?" Tyler asked, worried for only himself, no doubt.

"It means that, unfortunately, I can only restore three souls," Anthony said softly. The rest of us were quiet. We've traveled this far in hopes of one thing, we wanted to be human.

Part of me considered volunteering to stay vampire. I didn't hate it, but then everyone I've known would be lost. I wouldn't get to see my family, I wouldn't see Anthony or Tyler or Shane. I cared for them all, even Abby.

All Shane wanted was to live the life he'd lost. He wanted to right wrongs, he didn't want to live an eternity regretting one mistake.

Tyler had goals. He already planned out his future, college, jobs, everything. Becoming a vampire, for him, ruined all of his plans.

Abby spent so much time living a life in darkness, she wanted to grow old. She wanted to become an elder, she wanted to someday experience a peaceful death.

"I guess," Abby started, breaking the silence, "I guess I can stay vampire."

"Are you sure?" Tyler asked, though we all knew he wouldn't have volunteered himself.

"Yeah, I've lived this long like this, you guys shouldn't have to,"she muttered. Her shoulders slouched, and she leaned against a tree.

"Thank you, Abby, it means a lot that you're willing to let us be human," I said to her.

She looked to me with sad eyes, she was disappointed, I bet. "Someone has to stay human. Besides, there is still more languages to learn. There's more subjects I have little knowledge of."

"Okay, I have to be quick, the power is fading," Anthony said in a rush. "Who's first?"

"Do Shane," I suggested, knowing he wanted it the most. I would say he wanted to be human more than Tyler.

Anthony nodded, he put his hands on Shane's shoulders. Shane tried to hold back an excited smile, but failed. Even people who weren't bonded to him would be able to feel the excitement radiating off of him. Anthony let go of his shoulders asking, "did it work?"

Shane looked around saying, "it should have, I think it did."

"Good," Anthony replied doing the same thing to Tyler. Both my bonds were gone, but I wasn't worried. As long as Anthony could "restore" my soul, I would be fine.

Finally, Anthony walked over to me. He put his hands on my shoulders, closed his eyes, and a steady buzzing went through my body. I felt it happening, that one piece that had been missing, it was back. When Anthony let go of my shoulders everything went dark. I had to blink numerous times, allowing my eyes to adjust to the darkness. The brightness I'd seen as a vampire was gone. "How did you travel in such darkness?" I asked curiously.

"I had a job to do," Anthony replied with a smile.

Not long after, Abby decided to make her presence known by saying, "I'll take you guys home through the tunnels."

We all agreed, thinking it'd be too difficult to navigate the surface. We didn't leave yet because I said, "wait a second... Tyler, I'm not bonded to you anymore."

He scrunched his eyebrows, and after a few minutes he said, "you're right. The bond isn't there."

We didn't talk much more about it. I wasn't upset about it, either. I was no longer dependent on a bond, especially not with Tyler. I was glad to still be bonded to Shane, though, because it was a safety net. I'd had a bond ever since I was eight, and I loved having one.

It was fun seeing the reactions of all the receptionists. Most hadn't believed in our little prophecy, and were all suddenly suddenly intrigued by our story. Especially the one named Max.

"So you guys are human again?" Max asked, leaning on his desk as we told him our stories. This was the final hotel, we'd be home later today. Max happened to be one of the people who'd witnessed us traveling to The Well of Souls, and he believed in what we were doing. He was just transferred to this hotel.

"Most of us, I'm still vampire," Abby said, raising her hand weakly. SHe was still upset over staying vampire, but doesn't regret doing it after seeing the joy it brought the rest of us.

"Aw, honey," he said with a pout. "If you're meant to be human, it will happen."

"Thanks, Max," Abby said. We started to leave the hotel, fastly approaching our home. It was night, and Abby agreed to walk us to Shane's place. We knocked on the door of their house, not using the screen door as I'd done before.

"Shane?" his sister, Angeline, asked. Her eyes widened in shock as she embraced him. "You're human... so I take it you were successful?" she asked.

"Yeah, it worked," Shane started to say. Before he could say more Abby gasped and pushed passed him.

"Margaret?" Abby asked, Angeline moved so the rest of us could see inside. Shane's grandma stood a few feet away, smiling at us.

"Abby, my sweet Abby. I see you did your part," Shane's grandma said kindly. She gave Abby a hug.

"You weren't just a friend of those who made the prophecy, were you?" Abby asked in disbelief.

"I was one of them, that's why I told you all about the prophecy, I knew you'd help The Savior fulfill his destiny."

Shane gave his grandma a look that, if I wasn't bonded to him, I wouldn't have known what was on his mind. "Please, call me Anthony," Anthony said to Shane's grandma. She nodded, still not a woman of words, and went to the living room with us all.

"So, do we have some major explaining to do with our families?" I asked, scratching at my neck.

"No, sweetie. I have powers you can't even imagine. Let's just say they think they've seen you guys this whole time." She winked at me, and I felt a shiver sent through my spine. "Abby, cheer up. I have news for you," Margaret, Shane's grandma, exclaimed while cupping Abby's cheeks.

Abby brightened asking, "what news?"

"There will be a second Savior," Margaret said, looking over to me. I began to squirm under her gaze. "Merci will have a child with her bondmate, he will be the next Savior of Immortal Beings of Night."

"Please," Abby interrupted. "We call him The Savior of Souls."

Margaret laughed softly. "Abby, in roughly eighteen years you'll have another chance of being human." She looked back to Shane, "If I remember correctly, Merci only has one bondmate, am I right?" she asked, winking to him. We both flushed at the suggestive remark.

"That's true," Shane replied, he was quicker to get himself together than I was. Shane's grandma got up and left, patting Shane's shoulder as she did. I stood to go to the kitchen, being followed by Tyler.

"It's weird not being bonded to you," I remarked with a small laugh. Somehow, I was no longer upset about him.

"Yeah, but it worked out for the better. I guess. If you and Shane are destined to be together... I don't see the point in standing in the way of destiny," Tyler said.

"I should go talk to Shane now," I told him. He nodded, moving so I could go check how Shane felt about this whole thing.

"I'm sorry for getting mad that night when you kissed me..." Shane started, looking to the ground.

"You had every right to," I told him, taking a step closer. "Would you get mad if we tried that again, under the right circumstances?"

"So long as I can call you my girlfriend, I would definitely retry that kiss. The right way this time," he said to me. I smiled, the only response I gave him was to pull him close to me, bringing my lips to his, sealing our fate to bring the next Savior of Souls into this world.

A/N Agh! I finished this story and it feels amazing. I love these characters, and would be more than willing to write a sequel if you guys wanted one. Leave a comment or PM me if you want a sequel. It would be called The Savior of Us, and it would be about Merci's future child. No worries, that story wouldn't take place in the tunnels. It would take place on the surface, even though two of the people traveling would be vampires still. Yes, I said two. Abby and someone else you've only briefly met. Anyway, please do tell me how you'd feel about a sequel.

This was meant to be really fast paced, sorry if it bothered a few of you. If I write a sequel there will be an antagonist, which is something I've regretted leaving out for this story.
