So here it is the final chapter! Thank you to everyone, especially Omen Freak for reviewing and following this story! It's hard to believe this movie is sixteen years old and people still love these characters so much! I do have plans for a sequel, though it probably wont be posted for a while. If anyone is interested make sure to follow me so you get the email when it comes along. And most importantly HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
She stayed on the cliff until sunset, she was so absorbed in her thoughts she didn't notice she had company. A boy walked up to the cliff eating an apple, he'd just taken the last bite and threw the core over the edge before he turned to Sera. Her head was still resting on her knee as she tried to ignore the guy who'd interrupted her reminiscing.
"I don't have to worry about you trying to jump again, do I? Because as flattering as that would be, I'd really rather you didn't."
Sera looked up at him curiously, there was something familiar about him but he started talking again before she could pinpoint what. He chuckled at her confused expression.
"What's wrong love, don't recognize me? Is it the hair?"
She took a moment to really look at him, then it came to her as she stared into his electric blue eyes.
"Gregory?" She asked as he chuckled again and approached her.
"Well it took you long enough."
She got up from the rock and threw her arms around him. He laughed and kissed the side of her head returning her hug.
"You're back." She whispered.
"Didn't really think I'd leave you behind now did you?" She pulled away from his embrace just enough to bring her lips to his. The iciness of his touch had disappeared, replaced by a soft, comforting warmth. It was different but it was still Gregory, the way he held her, kissed her, none of that had changed.
Their kiss started out sweet, then Gregory's hands moved to her hips and pulled her body as close to his as they could get. Sera grabbed his Iron Maiden shirt and pulled him even closer. But just like the last time they kissed on the cliff they were interrupted.
"Oh, how romantic!"
The two instantly pulled apart, behind them was Anna in a new pink dress with her blonde hair braided down her back. Rudolph walked up behind her also dressed in modern day clothing.
"Mother and father were wondering where you'd run off to brother. We've been invited to Tony's for dinner, mother doesn't want us to be late."
"And they invited Miss Renee and Sera as well." Anna piped in smiling and eyeing the couple's intertwined fingers.
Gregory looked down at Sera, "You'll be there?" she nodded resting her head against his shoulder. He looked back at his siblings, "Alright let's go."
They made their way back to the main road, Anna skipping down the cobblestone path, Rudolph following behind her, "Tony said he'd show me how to you-yo."
"He called it a 'yo-yo' Rudolph." Anna corrected him. Gregory and Sera walked behind them hand in hand, looking forward to an evening together where they didn't have to sneak around.

The Thompson's house had never been so busy. The five adults sat at the kitchen table while the kids sat on bar stools around the island counter, Freda and Renee had helped Dottie cook dinner since it was a lot of people for only one person to cook for and Freda wanted to learn how to use modern day kitchenware.
After they had finished their meal Tony, Anna and Rudolph went upstairs to play in Tony's room.
"You still have to show me how to play the Nintendo-duh!" Rudolph shouted.
"It's just Nintendo." Tony said as they made their way up the stairs, Anna trying to hold Tony's hand.
Gregory and Sera were relaxing on the couch, she was trying to show him how the TV remote worked as Bob and Frederick talked and Dottie, Freda and Renee did the dishes and sipped their wine. Every so often Freda would glance over at the two teenagers on the couch; it warmed her heart to see her eldest son so happy. It had been too long since she'd seen Gregory smile out of pure joy, Sera had a positive affect on him, she brought light to his life. Freda was grateful for her, she had often worried that once human again Gregory would miss the power the shadows and darkness gave him, but this one girl had given his mortality purpose and gave Freda relief.
It was around nine o'clock when Gregory's parents and Sera's aunt decided to leave. The five kids all groaned in disapproval, but it was a school night – something Gregory was not looking forward to, but Sera was relieved that she now wouldn't be the only new kid in high school. The last month had been awful, having to wonder if Gregory would come back and deal with high school drama – ugh. Well, on the bright side there were no uniforms just a strict dress code. Also, Renee had convinced the school to put Gregory in all Sera's classes; saying they'd be able to catch up easier if they had the same work. It always amazed Sera how Renee could always talk people into seeing things her way.
As the parents rounded up their kids from upstairs Gregory walked Sera to the door, "How does high school work today?"
"Well, it starts much earlier than it should and lasts all day. Oh, and they give you work to do when you get home in addition to everything else."
"Sounds awful."
"That's why they make it mandatory, otherwise no one would go."
"Do you enjoy it?"
"Well, it's better than being dragged around the country searching for vampires."
He smirked, "Though that seemed to work out pretty well for you."
"Mm-hmm." She smiled before bringing her lips to his, giving him a light peck as they heard footsteps making their way down the stairs.
"Until tomorrow then." He bid her before leaving with his family. Renee and Sera getting in their own car and waving goodbye to the Thompsons as they pulled away.
And. . . that's it, we're done. Again let me know in the review section if you guys want a sequel. It's already planned out just needs to be written, but if I get no responses about it then I probably won't do it. And again HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
