Chapter 22: The New Trinity

Sophie's P.O.V

With Annie gone as well as Eve the house was rather, quiet…except for the yells of Hal who, after our little…relapse, was put back into the chair and strapped into it. Although Alex had moved in with us, how could we refuse after Hal played a part in her death, the house still felt empty Annie had made this house a home and with her gone…it felt rather cold, cold but not unwelcoming.

"This isn't about rehabilitation anymore, this is vindictive." Hal stated as Tom spoon-fed him mashed up banana, Alex entered the room from the kitchen she wasn't exactly coping great with the whole afterlife business…then again who really would get used to being a ghost and like it? Excluding Annie of course, who seemed to like her whole ghost life and didn't really want to leave, and Pearl who only wanted to be with Leo for the rest of her life.

"You stay in the chair until you're over the bloodlust." Tom stated monotonously as he spooned more banana mush and offered it to Hal. It had been a couple of days since I had 'recovered' although how I'd fare in the real world with numerous amounts of people was still un-known. Hal on the other hand was still recovering though today he seemed as though he had all but returned to his…well not exactly self, more like he had returned to the way he was after Leo had helped us. "Come on, make you big and strong."

"It won't be long Hal, you're nearly over it." I added this detox was less intensive than the last, but then again we hadn't drank that much blood compared to when Leo helped us, he had helped us to overcome nearly 400 years of routine killing.

"I don't mean the chair. I implore you put a screen in front of me, a blind-fold. No one should have to look at this." Hal explained looking around the place frantically; I hadn't noticed for a while how bad it had gotten. Our room was the safest place away from the mess and away from any temptation of releasing Hal and running away again. "Sophie how could you let it get like this?"

"I had other more pressing issues to worry about Hal." I replied as I tried to sort some of the magazines that had been thrown onto the couch I was currently sitting on, Alex had taken up reading nearly every magazine in the house since she had moved into Honolulu Heights.

"Don't look at me, none of this is mine." Alex justified as Hal eyed her none of the mess could really be Alex's unless she went on a bit of a rampage and continuously left meals around the room that she couldn't eat. "Besides I've spent my entire life picking up after my smelly brothers. So until the moment I pass over, I will be reading magazines. Or watching the Welsh Rugby Team get changed."

"When you go, let me know so I can accompany yah, there are some weird people out there." Tom stated I tried not to laugh or giggle at the thought of Tom following Alex into the Welsh Rugby Team's changing room, I'm sure that would be very hard to explain why he was in there. But Tom was adorable to care for her safety even though she was dead and the things that could hurt her, Tom could never hope to harm.

"Says the werewolf spoon-feeding mashed banana to the vampire." Alex mumbled shaking her head, maybe all this was just too much, she'd never thought this would happen and yet here she was living with two vampires and a werewolf, not forgetting the fact that she had yet to find her unfinished business and pass on.

"Ten minutes is all I ask, supervised of course. Just so I can do a quick run-round with the hoover and sort out the recycling. Please." Hal pleaded as his eyes darted between Tom and Alex before frantically looking around the room which was a complete and utter hovel. I tried to avoid his puppy dog gaze, but once I looked directly into his pleading eyes I couldn't say no to him.

"Maybe we should allow it, I mean Leo gave Hal tasks to do and cleaning this house is a really big task." I suggested it may help Hal with his recovery and it would mean that the house would be spotlessly clean again. Tom however didn't seem so convinced; if Hal or I drank again I'm sure he would be after us with stakes.

"This is torture." He murmured as he looked down at his feet, unwilling to look at the mess in the room. Alex scoffed shaking her head once more.

"If we wanted to torture we'd show you a picture of the bathroom." She stated getting up off the bar stool she had perched herself on and stood next to Tom with her arms folded. Hal was utterly disgusted at the statement.

"The bathroom too? You people are animals." Hal murmured shaking his head more than likely imagining what the bathroom actually looked like. Alex looked up at Tom raising an eyebrow; maybe they were going to let him out of the chair.

"We're thinking of letting you out." Tom stated Hal's eyes immediately lit up, he wouldn't have to sit and look at the piles of magazines, plates and dirty washing.

"Thank you. Fill a bowl with boiling water and washing up liquid, this is a two-set of marigolds job." Hal ordered as he sat up straight in the chair looking between the three of us.

"I'll get to that." I said as I stood up and walked towards the kitchen, I'd let Tom get him out of the chair, no doubt he would make Hal promise not to drink blood again as he had done with me. I didn't want to let Tom down and neither would Hal, we didn't want to relapse again; we wanted to make this work. Leo had left us here and wanted the best for us, he had helped us and we didn't want to make all his work go to waste. Within a couple of hours had the house looking brilliantly clean, when he was focused he could get something done.

All of the time Hal had spent in detox and Tom by his side helping him had resulted in the loss of their jobs, in the current economic climate there wasn't any other choice but for the both of them to get jobs and without a baby to look after I decided to join them in the job search. Luckily for us the Barry Grand Hotel was looking for new employees.

"Do you really think this is a good idea? You've never worked a day in your life." Hal asked as he pulled on his jacket, it was the truth no denying it, through all my years on this Earth I had not worked a day. I had been a somewhat stereotypical housewife to Hal, well except for the killing and that we had no biological children. But it was time for me to join the workers, Hal had done a lot for me over the years it was time to help him out.

"Hal, we need the money and I feel like helping out this time. Besides what could be better than having a beautiful lady by your side in work?"
