Author's note: Well,here's chapter 2. :) trying to think of a good twist to put into this story...will take some time...

Chapter 2

NPOV

Mavis rushed to her father's side and rubbed his back. After a few minutes he relaxed and slumped back down onto his bed. After he was asleep, Mavis took out the book. Johnny frowned.

"Don't you think we should read after your aunt gets back?" Johnny asked.

"Well.." Mavis started.

"Read what?" someone asked.

They both jumped and turned. Mavis quickly hid the book. "Um..Twilight." she quickly said.

"Twilight?" Dracula raised an eyebrow. "That movie that Johnny was watching on the plane, that made us like little vampire fairies?"

"Yeah.."

Dracula scoffed before rolling back over. "Have fun." he mumbled

"Vampire fairies?" Mavis asked as she turned to Johnny.

"Yeah she makes you guys sparkle...in the sunlight.."

"Seriously! Since when did they sparkle?" Mavis growled.

"Not sure."

Mavis rolled her eyes, "So that's how we're represented? Unbelievable." she mumbled.

Johnny laughed,"Alright Count Dracula!"

"Will you shut it!"

Johnny chuckled when Mavis' aunt appeared. "Why does he look like he's suffocating himself by laughing?" Rosette asked, smiling.

"I am not Count Dracula." Mavis said.

"He's teasing you again, isn't he?"

"Yes."

Rosette chuckled before going over to Dracula. She gently shook him. "Dracula, you need to wake up." Rosette said.

He groaned as he opened his eyes. He glared at Rosette. "I'm going back to bed after this." he mumbled.

"You can after you take some of this."

He looked at the medicine and growled. "No."

"Don't make me go through again with your stubbornness of taking medicine." Rosette said.

"I'm not taking any medicine. Why can't I just sleep it away?"

"I thought we went through this when you were younger. Don't make me go through it again."

Mavis sighed. "Alright, we're going to get this done quickly." she said as she grabbed the medicine and spoon.

"How much does he have to take of these?" she asked.

"Three." Rosette answered.

Mavis sat on her dad's stomach. Dracula glared at her, "Mavis, get off. I am not taking that medicine." he growled.

"Yes you are." Mavis growled.

He started to try and push her off, but do to the puking the night before, he was to weak. Mavis managed to get one table spoon of medicine into his mouth. Dracula refused to swallow it though.

"You're very stubborn! Now swallow the medicine and stop acting like a child!" Mavis snarled, giving him a stern look.

Fear flashed in his eyes, and caused Mavis to feel bad. But she still glared at him. He rolled his eyes and swallowed the medicine. He then took the next two tables spoons with a fight but eventually had all his medicine.

Mavis hopped down and smiled as she handed the spoon and medicine back to Rosette. She turned and frowned. "Was that so hard?" she asked.

"Yes." Dracula mumbled.

"Well, it didn't have to be if you would just suck it up and act like an adult." Mavis retorted.

"I hate medicine though! You're no different!" Dracula argued.

"Yeah, but now I take medicine if I have to. You would pin me down with your foot."

"So? I would make sure I wasn't hurting you though."

"You still pinned me down though."

"But-

"No buts, I got you to take the medicine and I will do it again if you argue the next time."

"Fine."

Mavis smiled and hugged him before leaving. Johnny followed. "You won't do that to me right?" Johnny asked.

"I don't make any promises." Mavis replied with a smile.

Rosette chuckled, "What ya know. She's like you and me! About time she got something from her great aunt. I was starting to think I'm the only responsible one here."

"I'm responsible!" Dracula growled.

Rosette scoffed, "Yeah, when it comes to taking care of a hotel and the guests and your daughter. Who you were way to protective over. But taking care of yourself is horrible. You never make sure you're healthy. When's the last time you had a simple cup of blood?"

"Uh...before Mavis' party.."

"Exactly! You can go years without drinking anything and when you get sick, you still don't learn. Drac, honey, I'm worried about you. Your father was the same, never wanted to drink because he didn't feel hungry. Yet he got sick every time, and never managed to learn. God knows if he's still alive since he ordered those shadow walkers to kill your mother and attempt to kill you."

Dracula didn't say a word as he stared at his hands. "I'm nothing like my father." he said.

"I know that, but your eating habits are like your father's. You may not be evil but sweetie...you don't care about your health. You could be bleeding to death and still ignore it and continue working until you pass out cold. You did that before too!"

"I know.."

"Then why do you keep doing it?"

"I don't feel hungry though.."

Rosette sighed, "I know sweetie, but just try to take small sips."

"I'll puke...if I cough...I'll puke."

"If you don't have any animal blood in you...you'll puke your own blood."

~Meanwhile...outside of Dracula's room~

Mavis was shocked by the conversation she just overheard. "My dad's..dad tried to kill him?" Mavis asked.

"I guess...want to read the book?" Johnny asked.

"Yeah."

~3 minutes later~

Mavis took a deep breath as she opened the book and started to read.

"In a mansion, hiding by forest, live a vampire and his family. This was Vlad Dracula I. He was a handsome fella, blue eyes, silky black hair, that was smoothed back. He had gone into his wife's room to see her holding a bundle of blankets. She smiled as she saw her husband. Vlad walked over to her and smiled at the small baby boy, wrapped in the blankets, sleeping.

"I named him Vlad...the second..if that's okay." the wife, Angelina, said.

"It's fine my dear, Vlad Dracula II...my only son. We need to make sure he never finds him." Vlad said.

"I know..Simon is one...evil man."

"Yes, I don't want him taking our son."

Little did these two parents know, Simon was one tricky man. He would do anything in his power to kill Vlad and Angelina...and take their son."

Mavis was shocked. "Wow...so dad's father wasn't so evil in the beginning?" she asked.

"Guess not." Johnny said.

She continued:

"Years passed and the Dracula's son grew to a toddler. Even though he was very young, he was still sneaky and had his powers. The thing that was bad, was he had no control over them. When he would get scared, he would use his powers and burn part of his room. His father would need to rebuild it, week after week after week. His father eventually got the Blood stone. Which helped young vampires control their powers. Vlad had tried to take it off a few times, but his father put a spell on it that wouldn't allow him to take it off.

During those days, Simon had spied on the Dracula family. He had new information on vampires that would let him easily kill the family. "

Mavis shut the book. "I think that's enough for now. How long have we been reading for?" she asked.

"About three hours." they turned to see Rosette looking at them. "So you only got to the second chapter?"

"Yeah..there's only twelve chapters..."

"He was quick on writing things. Summarized them. You'll get to the gruesome part...I should warn you though."

"About what?" Mavis asked.

"There's a scar...on his back that goes onto his side and stomach." Rosette said with a sad tone.

"How did it get there?"

"You'll see."

Rosette walked away after that, heading back towards Dracula's room. Mavis frowned. A scar. She wondered why she never saw it. She's seen her dad shirtless before. When he was stabbed by Quasimodo two years ago. He had given the chef a final chance, that he quickly blew. The scar was never there though.

She sighed, "How come I never saw that scar before?" she asked aloud.

Johnny shrugged. "Maybe he didn't want you to."

"Yeah. Come on, we're going to his room."

Johnny followed Mavis as they walked to Dracula's room. On the way there, Mavis had stopped at her room to put the book away. When they got to Dracula's room, Rosette was pacing around.

"Aunt Rosette, what's wrong?" Mavis asked.

"Nothing..."

She heard a cough as Dracula tried to sit up. Mavis walked over and helped him. "Thanks." Dracula said.

Rosette sighed, "Well...at least you're getting over your little sickness right now."

"Yeah." Dracula replied, his voice much more clearer.

"You sound more clear though, so what's bothering Rosette?" Johnny asked.

"Nothing." Dracula said.

Mavis narrowed her eyes. "I'm tired of this. You never tell me about your past and now this? For god's sake, you can barely tell me about when you and mom first met! So tell me the truth. All of it." Mavis growled, her eyes turning red with anger.

Rosette stared at her, so did Dracula and Johnny. "Alright, fine." Rosette sighed.

"What? No-

"Vlad, that's enough." Rosette growled.

Dracula clenched his jaw at the sound of his first name.

"Vlad the second." Mavis mumbled.

"What?" Dracula asked.

"Your name is Vlad Dracula the second."

"How did you know that?"

"I've heard Rosette call you that."

Rosette laughed nervously, "I was mumbling about your stubbornness and said your full name. My bad. Anyways, I'm telling her at least this."

Rosette ignored Dracula's glare. "Well, see, Vlad Dracula the first is not dead and he's coming to kill Vlad the second. He's basically screwed unless he gets better and can take off that necklace that Vlad the first so nicely put on him."

"Well that's a way to put it." Dracula said.

"Okay..."

Mavis was concerned as she thought of her grandfather coming to kill her only parent.

~6 hours later~

Dracula was walking around the hotel, coughing a little. He sounded much clearer and was more active. Even though, after he took a shower he forgot to blow dry his hair and it was still wet.

"Are you trying to get sick again?" Rosette growled.

"I didn't feel like it." Dracula whined.

Mavis had to laugh at the childish acts her father was doing. She's never seen this side of him. Johnny also laughed, but was teasing Mavis all day. She laughed at it sometimes but other times she would use a spell that wouldn't allow him to talk for three hours at a time.

Dracula kept arguing with his aunt until Rosette's eyes turned red and she snarled loudly at him. He shut up after that, but ignored her for the rest of the night.

~Somewhere else~

He watched as all the monsters enjoyed their time in the hotel. His eyes bright red. Once they were blue and he was a nice loving father. Making sure his family was protected, but now he was a vampire filled with evil and hatred. Who killed his wife and was aiming to kill his son and sister.

"You'll be dead soon...Vlad." he growled.
