Chapter 1
NPOV
"Johnny is bringing his parents, little sister, older brother, ex girlfriend, and his dad's boss...here?" Dracula asked, staring at the two.
"Well...it was only going to be my family...but his boss loves monsters and the myths about them and...wants to spend time here too. So my dad invited him." Johnny replied.
"Dad, could you handle it...just this once? I need to look good in front of his family. You refusing to allow them here makes me look bad and-
"Alright...fine." Dracula sighed, cutting Mavis off.
"Holy rabies, thanks dad! They'll be here tomorrow."
"What..how?"
"Well...they're landing tonight and will drive here tomorrow."
Dracula stood there dumbfounded, before going to explain everything to his friends. All of them agreed to act normal, but they were worried about Dracula.
"Drac, buddy, the last time we were around so many humans...you almost lost your cool." Frankenstein said.
"I didn't attack anyone or suck any blood." Dracula replied, confused.
"Yes, but...we know when you're getting hungry."
Dracula frowned, "Is it still noticeable?"
"Yes...you just have this look in your eyes. That scary...hungry look."
"Oh. I'll control it." Dracula said before walking away.
Mavis had overheard the whole conversation and was concerned. She walked back to her room and explained everything to Johnny.
"What are going to do? We can't train a vampire!" Johnny asked.
"I'm sure no one can train my dad. I'm worried about your family and about what will happen if...he loses control."
Dracula frowned as her heard Mavis and Johnny talk. He honestly didn't know what to do either. He lied when he told Johnny he didn't like human blood, he actually enjoyed it. He only ever got blood from his aunt, who got it from hospitals. The rest of the time he drank blood substitute. He walked down the hallway, making sure everyone was doing their job.
~Next day~
The next day, Johnny's parents walked into the lobby. Along with his father's boss and his ex. Mavis smiled as they hugged her and said hi. She glanced around the lobby, not seeing her father anywhere. One of the maids said he overheard her conversation with Johnny. She was concerned weather or not she hurt his feelings. As the day went on, Johnny explained to the guests that they sleep during the day and up at night.
"You'll get used to it. How long are you staying?" Johnny asked.
"About three months." his father, Tom, replied.
"Alright, well..we'll get you to your rooms then." Mavis said.
"Where's your father, Mavis? Haven't seen him at all."
"Um...he's...sleeping." Mavis lied.
"Could you wake him up?" Tom's boss asked.
Mavis wanted to growl at the man for being so inconsiderate of her father. She only smiled, "He's not very...happy when woken up during the day, but I'll try."
"Great! Now, where's my room?" he asked.
Mavis got a zombie to lead him and his daughter. His daughter, Lilly, glared at her before smiling at Johnny. Mavis sighed before going to her father's room. She knocked on the door, unsure of what to do.
She heard no answer, so she walked in. Sure enough, her father was sleeping. The coffin cover was off and she knew why. He only ever took it off when he had a nightmare. She walked up to his bed and gently shook him. She heard a low growl, fear creeping into her. She shook him again. His eyes snapped open as he glared at whoever dared to wake him. He realized it was Mavis and relaxed a little.
"Yes, Mavis?" he asked as he sat up and yawned.
"Johnny's family is here, zombies lead them to their rooms." she said. "Are you going to say hi tonight?"
"We'll see." Dracula replied, with a nervous note in his voice.
"You overheard us talking...didn't you?"
"Yes...honestly...I don't know what I'm going to do." Dracula whispered.
Mavis smiled sadly at him, "We'll figure it out...how come I'm not thirsty for human blood?"
"Because, you're a young vampire. Young vampires, depending on how they're brought up, go on whatever blood they were first introduced to. You grew up on blood substitute. Once you have human blood...you'll grow addicted." Dracula explained.
Mavis nodded, she noticed how tired the man looked. Dracula yawned again, "I'm going back to bed. I'll see what I'll do." he said before curling back up.
"Did you have a nightmare?" Mavis suddenly asked, since he didn't have a nightmare in forty years.
"No. It got too warm." he whispered.
"Alright." Mavis said, knowing to not argue.
She walked out of his room and closed the door. She turned to see Johnny's ex walking down the hallway.
"Who's room is that?" she asked.
"My dad's." Mavis replied calmly.
"Oh? Did you tell him my father wanted to meet him?"
"Yes, he said he'll meet them tonight. Depends on how he's feeling."
"He's sick?"
"A cold."
"Vampires can get that?"
"Well...a vampire cold. I have to go."
Mavis sped off, leaving the human girl there. The blond haired girl glanced at the door, tempted to walk in there. She was afraid though, not knowing how the actual Count Dracula would act if she did so.
Instead, she walked down to the lobby. Wanting to be alone for a little while.
Mavis walked into her room and sighed. "Your ex is weird."
"I know, she can be violent at times too." Johnny replied. "What did you dad say?"
"He'll see how it goes tonight." Mavis replied.
~Meanwhile~
Dracula lied in his coffin, trying to sleep but his nightmare kept returning. He eventually gave up and went to the kitchen. As he walked downstairs he noticed a girl sitting in the lobby. He could tell she was human and could hear the heartbeat. He closed his eyes and sighed. "How am I going to control my instincts?" he whispered to himself.
