A/N: Here we go, first hotel Transylvania story.
Summary: "I didn't see you there." Says, everyone. I'm sick of the jokes, the harassing and no one ever seeing who I am. I'm invisible. Yes, you heard me. And I'm SICK of it.
Invisible
What is a Zing, really? I don't know. Because it's never happened to me. I don't really care. Love's never really been something I've 'seriously' thought about. Because…ha, I've never really been loved before. I've only spoken thirty-four words to you guys and I'm already tearing up. Yeah, that's what my life's come to; counting how many words I speak. That's 60 words now.
I'm the 'Invisible man' and I hate that. Hello, people, my name's Griffin. G-R-I-F-F-I-N.
I sit on the roof. It's the only place I feel safe. No one can see me, so… I do get hurt a lot. I still got claw marks on my face from Drac. I deserve it. I did slap him pretty hard. Didn't have to go all scratchy on me. Anyway, yeah. I'm up here right now. That's how I'm writing to you guys. GTYGKJG^JTJHK
Sorry, someone backed into me. I look up and WHO do I see? Mavis. She's like, the only one who calls me by my name. "Oh, sorry Uncle Griffin…I…didn't see you there." I smile and stand up; she giggles and steals my glasses. HUFMGUKFR. GOLVGKVCRUDUHGBUFY
"I can't see anything. How far am I from the ROOOFFF-!?" It's lucky she grabbed me…because I would have fallen to my death. I can see again.
"Sorry. It's lucky I grabbed you…You would have died." What, can she read my mind or something?! "Anyway, I was looking for you, come on." I follow Mavis down the hotel stairs. That makes two hundred and forty nine words. As we go lower into the hotel, I can hear pop music. I see three girls, one that looked around my age, one around the age of Mavis and one right in-between. I'm staring at the one my age, the one singing. She's playing drums too. Hot.
"Hey Mavis!" She calls. Probably didn't see me. Typical. She walks towards us. She's wearing fingerless gloves, a long sleeved t-shirt with a black t-shirt over it and jeans. She has a big fluffy fox tail and pointy ears. She's got a human face and reddish-blonde hair. She bumps into me. And I fall on my butt. She clasps a hand over her mouth when she realizes she's knocked over SOMEONE.
"Oh my gosh, I didn't even see you there, I'm sorry." I get to my feet and look at her. She's looking at her shoes, I think she's embarrassed. This is not good; I'm losing count of words… I go to leave, but Mavis picks my glasses off again. I fall over and glare at her. She doesn't see it.
"Griffin, this is Nyla, she's one of my friends." I can't see Nyla. She can't see me. Mavis throws my glasses back. I still can't see. She flicks my glasses down and like magic I can see again. Nyla's right in my face. I gasp.
"You scared me…" I whisper, rubbing one arm with another nervously. She giggles like she can see how embarrassed I am. I realize I know the other two girls. I've seen them around the hotel. One of them's a werewolf, Rikky, and the other is like a puppy, Sophie. She's Mavis's age. They practically tackle me in a hug. "Whoa!" I laugh. Nyla's not laughing at me, she's laughing with me. Sophie's bouncing up and down.
"Wanna hear us play?! You GOTTA hear us play!" I'm happy around these guys.
"Hit it." I say, and Sophie, Rikky and Nyla go to their positions. They begin and I've officially lost count. I listen and my world slows. A thing of light dashes across the lens of my glasses and I swear it happened to Nyla as well. Mavis smiles and I can tell she saw it happen too. We better not have zinged. Not ready for that. I leave and I hear them stop. I can't take it anymore. I dash past Wanda and my glasses fall off. I run into my hotel room and flop down on my bed. I can't see anything again.
"I'm invisible. I'm nothing. No one can see me. No one." I'm crying now. I hear a knock on my door and hear my shrunken head yell 'Do not disturb'.
"Hey, you dropped your glasses!" It's Wanda.
"Is he even in there?" That's Eunice.
"I'm in here."
"Invisible Man, let us in." I hear Eunice complain. "Let the boys deal with this." Wanda quickly opened the door and tossed my glasses in. I got up and crawled on the ground, feeling around for my glasses. I finally grasped them and put them back over my eyes. One of the lenses was cracked, either from them falling or someone stepping on them.
I'm alone.
I switch my flickering light off and pull the covers over my head. I'm not sleeping. I'm crying.
…
As night came, I stretched. I smacked the alarm clock and it bit me. "Ow."
"Don't smack me, snooze boy." I throw myself out of bed and make my way over to the door, combing my hair a little before I leave. The shrunken head tries to make conversation with me.
"Well, well, if it isn't cry baby invisible man."
"Leave me alone."
"Oh you're such a joy to SEE in the morning." I feel like killing it. Instead, I try to make a point.
"Okay, one, your eyes are stitched shut. Two, I'm invisible." I walk away with my hands in my pockets. No one notices this. The only thing telling I'm sad is the current shape of my glasses. I go to Murray's door and knock on it. Murray opens the door and smiles. I can tell he's happy to see me.
"Hey, Griff, what's happening man?!" We do our secret hand shake. It's nothing. Heheheheh. Murray walks with me down the halls and we see a see-through door, glowing different colours. We enter and I almost immediately start coughing. "You okay?" Murray asks me swiping away the dust and well, I guessed it was probably magic.
"Yeah…but…who is that?" I gesture towards a figure in the cloud on pink smoke. The figure whirls around me and I'm dizzy.
"Hi, boys!" A female voice taunts us. We wave.
"Hello?" We say in unison. The dust clears and a blonde fairy wearing a bright pink dress is in front of us.
"I'm Crystal Dreamheart. I make people's dreams come true." I feel Murray give me a shove. "What's your wish, sweetie?" Crystal asks me. I take a deep breath and then tell her.
"I want to be visible." I spat. Crystal taps me on the head and each time she taps me you can see more of me.
"Of course, like all good things, there's a catch."
"Well spit it out!" I snap. Her expression doesn't change.
"Every time you say anything related to your invisibility you'll weaken. And if you say it too much then…oops. You're dead."
"Wait, so I CAN'T get out of this…I'll just die?" I ask. This isn't happening. One of you tell me this isn't happening. Crystal smirks, and then blows a puff of magic at me. I guess that was the catch.
"Well there is one way to get out of it. But you gotta figure it out yourself." She giggles and disappears into thin air leaving a cloud of pink glitter. Murray screams when he looks at me.
"I CAN SEE YOU!"
"Yeah, but don't tell anyone about this. They're obviously not gonna know who it is, so, I'm gonna pretend to be someone else."
"What's your name?" That hits me…I didn't really think about that.
"I don't really…" We hear something and turn to see Nyla staring at us, arms crossed.
"You're not invisible."
"I never was invisibl—AH!" It was like something just punched me straight in the gut. "Oh, god, that hurt." It did, it really did. Nyla's not falling for it.
"I can see you." I and Murray stare at her.
"Of course you can see me; I'm not invisib-AYY!" I'm never going to say that word again. Invisible. Invisible, invisible. OW! What, I'm not even allowed to write it anymore? Fine. One of you willing to save me? Help me out here!
…
I just don't care anymore. I'm happy. For once. I skip up to Dracula. In shock, he goes to hit me. "DON'T HIT ME!" His eyes widen.
"Griffin is that YOU?!" He asks. I eye him.
"Yes it's me, stupid!" I snap. He looms over me, and then hugs me.
"I can see you my friend!" His closed eyes snap open when he notices Wayne and Frank staring at us. They crack up laughing and I narrow my eyes and tackle Wayne. When I tackle him, my hands burn.
Why are my hands burning?
"Buddy, your hands!" Wayne yelps. I get off him and stand up to stare at my hands. My hands are glowing. I clap them together and there is a big white ball in between them. I clap my hands together and the ball launches forwards, narrowly missing Johnny, who becomes wide eyed. I stare in horror.
"Whoa." Johnny breathes, startled. I'm startled too. "HOW DID YOU DO THAT?!"
"I don't know, but I can't control it." I say, as a tiny one forms on the end of my finger. I shoot it, and it hits Drac right in the eye. He glares at me. I can only just see him. My visions blurry. I can hear him yelling at me, but then I hear worried voices and see someone beside me…
It's all black now…
