"Come along Dennis," Pitch Black tutted a young boy with bright blue eyes, curly red hair wearing a yellow and green shirt with a green four on it, a pair of tan shorts and tennis shoes. Dennis giggled as he followed the King of Nightmares.

"Okay, Uncle 'itch," Dennis responded.

Pitch only closed his eyes as he shook his head at the nickname. Dennis has been having issues saying his p's which resulting with a revolting and hopefully temporary nickname, "How did I get into his predicament in the first place…Oh yes…"

Pitch reached down and picked up Dennis, had him at eye level while speaking in a menacing tone, "Someone had decided to run off while playing a game of hide and go scream. You wouldn't know who that would be hm?"

"Me, me," Dennis laughed aloud as Pitch glared at him halfheartedly.

"Your grandfather is going to have another episode because of this," Pitch muttered under his breath. He hoisted Dennis up so the half vampire/half human child sat on his shoulders, "You gave everyone scare you know. With you running off, your grandfather had called everyone to be in search of you."

"Sorry…," Dennis mumbled into Pitch Black hair, "I was mad…"

"Oh…Why were you mad," Pitch asked the hybrid child as he trekked through the area through the shadows to not be seen by a certain group. Judging how late it was, they won't make it back to the Hotel before sunrise and last thing that Pitch needed is sunlight. He would have to take the child to his lair for now until nightfalls once more.

"Not a vam'ire like momma," Dennis mumbled with a sniffle, "Not a human like daddy."

"Oh," Pitch said, now understanding the sudden mood change from the young child. He had heard down from the shadows how Dracula's father, Vlad, (Pitch utterly loathes the vampire, till this night the twit still has not gave him the proper thanks for helping him spread the fear of vampires everywhere) had made a scene about Dennis being what he is and humans at the hotel, "Well…I know what you are."

"You do!" Dennis said excitedly.

"You are a demon spawn sent here on earth to make my existence completely unbearable," Pitch deadpanned, black sand began to swirl around them and within a blink of an eye the two quickly disappeared. The only trace that was left behind is the sound of a child's laughter that lifted everyone's spirits.
