"I still don't have a soul."

Tears flooded Harry's eyes. "W-what?"

The boys looked at each other, defeated. Louis held onto Darcy, stroking her hair softly. Edward tugged on Rose's dress, gaining her attention.

"Mommy please don't leave me." He whispered, making his mother cry and hug him tightly. "I'm sorry baby."

Zayn sat, biting his thumb in thought. He slowly shook his head, staring at Rose in thought.

"No."

Her eyes flickered up to his brown ones. She stood to her feet, sniffling. "What do you mean, no?"

"Rose, you need a soul. You have two kids now, you have Harry." She narrowed her eyes at the rambling man in front of her. "What are you talking about, Zayn?"

His eyes filled with tears as he shook his head slightly. "Take my soul, Rose."

"No!" She whispered harshly, not believing the words coming from his mouth.

"Would that work?" Liam interfered. "I mean, you were kind of a demon a while ago."

"I've made up for that!" He snapped, looking over at Harry now. "That's why Lucifer couldn't control me anymore. Because Harry, you said it yourself, I have a good soul now."

Rose held her head in her hands. "Zayn, I could never take that from you."

"Yes, you could." He spoke softly as he took her hands from her face, making her look up at him. "Rose, I've been alive for one hundred and thrity fives years. You would be setting me free."

Tears streamed down both Zayn and Rose's faces. Liam nodded slowly. "It would work, Rose."

"But I...I can't."

"Yes you can. Think of Darcy and Edward. If you won't do it for yourself then do it for them. Please."

Harry set a hand on his girlfriend's shoulder, making her turn and cry onto his shoulder.

"Hurry, we don't have much time before you disappear." Niall spoke up, opening Edna's spell book one last time.

Liam sighed, grabbing the book from him. "I'll do it, love."

Harry pressed a soft kiss to Rose's head as she faced Zayn again. He smiled softly at her as she sniffled.

Liam began reading, "Cum amicus et hostis amicus neptem salvaret." Which caused a slight glowing to come from Zayn's chest.

"I'm so sorry." Rose whispered as more tears ran down her cheeks.

Zayn chuckled and raised a hand to wipe them away. "Rose, you are my best friend. Thank you for giving me another chance. Thank you for letting me make things right."

She smiled weakly and nodded as he pulled her in tightly for a hug. He pressed a kiss to her hair and grinned to himself.

"I love you, Rose. Thank you."

Suddenly, she fell forward, grabbing for nothing but air. She looked down at herself, realizing she was all there. Liam closed the book, making her spin around.

"Where is he?" She whispered, looking from Liam to Harry.

"In heaven, I suppose." Louis murmured, staring at where he once stood.

"Bye bye Uncle Zayn." Darcy whispered, sucking her thumb as a tear escaped her eye.

They all sat in the attic in utter silence. No one knew what to say.
