Tyler's POV

I had no idea what kind of hell or torture I was in for. At least I wouldn't have to deal with Brittany that was a plus though I know it is bad to think ill of the dead but I was just trying to think in general. I made my way to the creepy, cold, smelly basement. I looked around wondering what this spirit had in store for me.

"Tyler?" I hear a whimper voice call out for me.

I turn and look over and see a woman in the middle of the floor. At first I don't recognize her after taking a close step and looking at her hair and arms I realize who this is suppose to be, it's Anne. She looks up at me with an evil twisted smile on her lips as she slowly stands up. Just as I barely take a step Jack comes out of nowhere and grabs her and forcefully kisses her right there in front of me.

"You really think she would want someone like you mate?" Jack asks me with a laugh. "Especially when she could have someone like me?"

"You aren't real, none of this is real. Anne wouldn't do half the things that whoever she is, is doing to you." I tell him.

"Oh poor Tyler always in second place, why couldn't you step up and be a man and claim me for yourself?" the fake Anne asks me as she walks up to me. "Am I not good enough for you?''

"The real Anne is more than enough with me, I wouldn't want just some copy of her." I tell whatever it is as I stand my ground.

"Ah mate, she is standing right here before you. Don't you wanna take her from me? Make her yours forever?" the fake Jack asks me with a laugh.

"No, I love Anne but it is her choice to be with whoever she wants." I tell him as the fake Anne decides to circle me.

"Oh honey, you really think you have a shot with the real one? I mean look at you compared to someone like her...you are a nothing." the fake Anne says as she goes to the fake Jack's side.

"That is how I know you aren't her, Anne would never demine anyone no matter who they were. You are both just bad copies of the real people." I tell them as they look at each other.

Did it make my blood boil to even see the fake Anne in the arms of another man even though it was Jack, I had been in love with Anne since she started going to this school. I also knew that Jack felt the same way though and that he was more in tune with her than I was. Still if I was going to loose to someone at least it would be Jack. Someone who was good for her. I watched as the two figures slowly disappeared and another body appeared before me. Before I had time to react the body was beheaded and blood spattered all over the room and all over me.

"You have passed, now get the hell out of this room." the voice tells me.

I turn and bolt out of that basement barely managing to wipe the blood from my eyes with my sleeve as I find the stairs. I run up them as fast as I can, eventually I make my way back to the foyer. Anne sees me and stands up and runs to me but stops right before me and sees the blood. The look on her face is priceless though.

"Tyler, you passed for allowing Free Will to take place. Not forcing someone to chose." The voice calls out. "You are now safe."

Then Anne smiled at me as she took of her jacket and handed it to me knowing I would use it as a towel. There was only one person left now though, Jack and I had no idea what that crazy voice would throw at him. I managed to wipe my face off as well as my front as Anne then hugged me as tight as she could. I couldn't tell you how happy it was to have her in my arms and to know that we both were safe from whatever the voice truly was.

"The last test for the last man, it shall not be an easy one." The voice says. "Last man go to the end of the left hall and wait there for your test."

Jack looked at all of us unsure of what else to do. I watched as Anne turned to him and grabbed him by his face. He of course didn't know she was going to do that but just watched her.

"You are going to come back do you hear me? I will not loose you!" Anne demanded from him.

"I hear you and I promise that I will do my best." Jack says taking her face in his hands and slowly leaning forward and kissing her.

Ok we all kinda knew this was coming, he may die so  of course he would kiss her now. He may not get another chance to be honest. Though I did feel a pang of jealousy it was sort of replaced with happiness just seeing Anne smile made me happy as well. Jack pulled away and looked at Anne and I could see he was about to look up at me and of course he did.

"If the worst happens and I don't make it you, take care of her will ya mate?" Jack asks me.

"Why are you asking me that? You will be able to do it. I just know it." I tell him as I look at him.

"Just promise me Tyler, I need ta hear it alright?" Jack asks a bit angered now.

"Yeah, I promise Jack." I tell him as Jack puts Anne in my arms.

"I'll be back alright love?" Jack asks Anne as he kisses her one last time and then takes off into the hallway.

I didn't know if Jack would come back but I was praying that he would, I knew that Anne would be completely heart broken without that brit in her life. Anne held onto me tight as she turned into me and started to sob into my chest.

"This is all your fault you know." I say looking at Lee.

"You really do not need to remind me. I can clearly see that." Lee tells me as he looks at Anne.

"Now we may loose one of our best friends because of your stupid proof. I hope it was worth your soul asshole." I tell him as I hold Anne as tight as I can without hurting her.

Of course teach didn't have anything to say after that. Then I look to Anne who is now looking up, I just watch her as she looks around the room.

"What about you? There must be something you want?" Anne calls out to the voice.

"Little Angel, have you not done enough already? Your guardian has been banging on the door all night." the voice calls out.

"I want to help you, no spirit should be doomed to walk the earth forever." she tells the voice. "You can still ask for forgiveness you know."

"It is not I who must do say, but the collector who did this to all of us, I am lucky to be able to break his magic for the four souls I am trying to save." the voice says.

All the sudden there is a bright light in the room and there at the bottom of the stair stands what appears to be a  girl. Her red hair is pulled back and held back with two barrettes.

"This loophole is the only way I can save you." she tells us as she looks at our group. "The dark magic that is here is so strong it need pure good to drive it away, when each of your prove yourselves then a little of the magic breaks, once the last one has proven himself you can leave but the souls here will remain trapped forever."

"Tell me what happened..." Anne tells the girl as she girl looks up at the ceiling.

"It happened a long time ago, we there was still a very powerful dark magic." the girl starts...
