A ghost, a vampire and a werewolf move in together. They get jobs, they argue about who cleans the bathroom and who does the shopping. They have relationships and they fall in love. An evil comes and slips its way in, breaking them up from the inside out. They move. They get her back. They're together again. They're happy. One by one they leave.

In the end Mitchell asked for it.
He asked for death and welcomed it with open arms and a last smile for his friends. His family. There comes a time when you know you've lived to long, and Mitchell had found that time. So he welcomed the stake as it was pushed into his chest and he hoped, he prayed, that what ever was waiting for him, wherever it was, he'd see them again. Because that would be the worst afterlife. The life where he'd never see them again. That was something Mitchell didn't think he'd be able to bare.
So he ends up on the other side, thoughts racing and heart beating. He's told to wait. In a corridor full of the past with a room at the end that is his when he's ready.
But he'd rather wait, because what's an after life without the people who made his life worth while?

Losing Nina did more to George then anyone could have thought.
Maybe it was because this time he knew there was no way of getting her back, that she was truly gone. Through a door to never walk back out. For the first time since they'd moved into the pink house, George wasn't happy and no amount of tea would fix it. His finale act was to protect her, to protect Eve. Maybe he wasn't such a great dad for a while, but he died for her in the end. For them both.
He died knowing Eve would be safe with Annie, and really that's all he could ask for. When his door came and he saw the things Annie and Mitchell had hid from him all those years ago, he's thankful. He walks through it, with a last look and smile for his best friend and daughter. On the other side he finds them. He finds his Nina and Mitchell.
They hug and shout and talk and argue and hug some more. And then they wait.
They wait for her.

Annie fights on, the last one standing, she has no other choice really.
She can't back down or fade into the background now, she's too far in. Not that she'd want to. These vampires had cost her her friends, her family. So she fights and she wins. Some might say she lost, with the result ending in Eve's death and her passing over. But she won. There was nothing left for her in the land of the living anymore. Everyone she really truly loved where waiting on the other side. Or so she hoped.
Tom, Hal and Alex helped her see that, helped her to understand what she needed to do in the end. And she could walk through that door knowing whatever happened there would be Tom, Alex and Hal around. What more could the world want? So she presses the button and lets the bomb go off, knowing when she opened her eyes all she'd see was fire. But there was the door. The door she thought she'd never see again after she'd turned it down all those years ago. It was her door, and this time, Annie walked through it. She didn't expect much, not after last time.
But there's Eve and she's fading, a smile on her face and then there's the second door.
Annie doesn't have to think, she knows who'll be there, who she prays will be there. She opens the door, bright light almost blinding her.
But there they all. All three of them waiting for her.

They waited for her. The werewolf and the vampire, waiting for their ghost. They hug and smile and cry. But that's okay, because they're together and nothing, not even death could break them apart.
A ghost, a vampire and a werewolf move in together. It sounded like the start of some stupid, unfunny joke. Something that would end in someone dying or in tears for them all.
And it did.
But in the end, it was worth it all.
A/N: Okay so this is the last chapter for this story. I just needed some closure on it all for my own sake. But, and this all depends on how I feel on Sunday (and who dies), I'll probably do ones for Tom, Alex and Hal.
But thank you too everyone who has reviewed, you're all lovely and I hope I've not disappointed anyone.
