Laney and I found Steven and Christian standing outside near the graveyard. They were back in their human form. Steven walked in front of me.
"Hey," I said. I felt tears building up in my eyes.
"Don't worry, it's all over now," he said, wiping the tears off my face.
"I know, I just don't understand how you two are werewolves." My eyes changed from brown to orange.
"You-- you're a werewolf, too?" asked Steven.
"Hybrid," I said. "Don't judge. Also, can you and I just be, best friends?"
"You're breaking up with me? But I thought that I was the one who rescued you from the vampires!"
"You did, and you'll always be considered the one who rescued me from becoming my best friend's dinner, once and for all."
"Yep."
Christian walked in front of me and asked, "Ariella, do you love me?"
"What?" I asked.
"Because I rescued you, 'cause I love you. I've loved you ever since I first met you."
I felt speechless. "Wait, so you rescued me, because you love me?"
"Yeah, I do. I always have."
I looked over at everyone. They smiled and nodded, including Steven. I turned back around and looked into Christian's dark chocolate brown eyes. "I only wanna be happy again, that's all I want right now." Christian half smiled. "With Christian, the one I have always loved too."
Christian fully smiled.
"This is so cute, I think I'm gonna cry," said Laney, smiling and hugging Steven.
I kissed Christian as I felt tingles around my body. Looked down and saw purple smoke circling around me. I started to float up in the air as the purple smoke blew in the air, making everything purple, including the sky. I slowly came back down and brushed off the purple that was still on me. Laney and Steven walked over to me.
"I guess a potion doesn't always need to work with the one you truly love, does it?" asked Laney, not so serious.
"I guess not," I said, smiling.
Christian came over to me. "So, you happy now?" he asked.
"Oh Christian, I've never been happier," I said as I grinned. He picked me up and spun me around.
