As it turns out, I was being detained in the Inn's storage room. I now wore my prom dress again and had dressed like I had been for prom, except for the make up (all of us were like this).

We all stood in my room as we said our goodbyes to Carl and Van Helsing.

'Uh, Carl,' asked Kait, who had seemed to become quite close to the Friar, 'how do we get back if you don't have the potion to return us?

'I lied, I had some the entire time.'

'What?!?' all of us said.

'And you are supposed to be a friar?' I reprimanded him.

'Nobody's perfect,' he shrugged. I shook my head but gave him and Van Helsing a hug. After we released, I noticed Van Helsing's eyes wandering lower. I quickly covered my cleavage with my hand that had his ring still on it.

'And you are supposed to be an angel?' I asked.

'Mortal habits, I suppose.' I rolled my eyes. Carl brought out the vial and threw it against the wall. The opaque silver smoke rose and disappeared as before.

'Don't forget to visit, Carl,' I said, 'and you too, Van Helsing.'

'We shall try,' promised Carl.

'Bye!' called everyone as they walked through the wall. I was the last one through.

'Farewell,' called Carl.

'Behave,' I called back. Van Helsing grinned mischievously.

'Only if you do.'

I walked through the wall into darkness and cold. Soon, the temperature warmed up and the room brightened. I was in the locker room once again, with everyone there. And my eyesight was back.

'Think that the dance is about over?' asked Marie.

'I don't know, let's go see,' I replied. We listened to the song playing in the gym. It was "Desperado" by Garth Brooks.

'Hey, wasn't this the song…' Courtney trailed off.

'That was playing when we left?' finished Kait. They hurried out of the locker room, followed by James and Marie, leaving Derek and me behind.

'Ready to go dance?' he asked.

'Most definitely,' I replied with a nod. He grabbed my hand. I glanced back at the wall on last time before we walked out to the dance floor. After Prom ended, Derek and James took us home to change for the After-Prom party. Derek walked me to the door and pulled me to the side so Marie and James could walk into the house.

Derek dug into his pocket and pulled something out, hiding it in his hands so I wouldn't see it.

I want you to have this.' He opened his hand to reveal a vial of the potion. I gasped and then smiled at him.

'You little thief.'

'Here,' he put it in my hand and closed my fingers around it, 'put it somewhere safe.'

'I most certainly will,' I replied. I kissed him, 'I'll be out in a jiffy. You wanna wait in the living room?'

He nodded and followed me in. He sat with James in the living room as I hurried to my room and put the vial in my jewelry box on my dresser. I took out my hair and began to brush it out to put it into a tail.

'Hello, Erica, it's been a very long time,' I heard a voice say behind me. I froze and turned to see a man in his early twenties with black jeans and a white shirt. He had a clean-shaven face and long copper hair. He lay casually on my bed with his hands clasped behind his head. My brush fell from my hands.

'Velkan.'

Okay, so I'm done with this story, if you really think I oughta continue, message me or send me a review. IDK if I will make a continuation yet.
