Author's note: I know second chapter already. I need to get these ideas out of my head so I can focus. Lol. Thanks for the review! :D

Chapter 2

NPOV


Dracula walked down into the lobby trying to get past the girl, but she noticed him. She raised an eyebrow, "Who are you?" she asked.

"Who are you?" Dracula echoed, turning to face her.

She noticed the fangs as he spoke and stood up. "You're Count Dracula...aren't you?" she asked.

"Yes. You?"

"Oh, I'm Lilly Williams...my father is Johnathan's dad's boss."

"I see."

He turned and walked away, as he felt a rememberable burn in his throat. He ran down the hallways and to the kitchen. Quasimodo looked at him.

"Ah...Count Dracula, what brings you here?" he asked.

"Did my aunt drop off any human blood?" Dracula asked.

"You're thirsty, aren't you?"

"Yes."

"You need to face your fears sometimes." the chef said with a smirk.

Dracula glared at him, "Be careful of what you say, unless you want to leave the face of the earth." Dracula warned through his protruding fangs.

Even though the chef was brave enough to talk fresh to the monster king, he was still afraid of him. He shrugged as he grabbed a glass and poured human blood into it.

"You better watch yourself, Count. You may leave the earth as well." he threatened.

Dracula only growled in response before taking the glass. He reluctantly thanked the chef before walking out. He downed the glass in less than ten seconds. He gave it to a maid to get rid of and walked up to Mavis' room. He lightly knocked on the door.

A few seconds passed before the young vampire opened the door. "Who's that girl in the lobby?" he asked as he walked in.

"Oh, Lilly? My ex." Johnny replied.

"Oh." he turned to Mavis, "I don't think I can do this."

"Why?" she questioned.

"I'll be surrounded by heartbeats! You can hear the blood..." Dracula sighed.

"You're fine with Johnny." Mavis pointed out.

"I wasn't thinking about it then...I was thinking about your party and everything."

"Then think about something else."

"I can't."

"Why?"

"There's nothing to think about."

"Dad, there has to be something to think about."

"Like what?"

"I don't know."

"Exactly."

Mavis opened her mouth to say something back, but sighed. "Alright, well...just try?"

"Alright." Dracula said as he peeked out the window.

The sun was setting and Dracula was thirsty once again. He only had one glass of blood all day. He frowned before turning into a bat.

"I'll be back in an hour." he said.

"It's still kind of sunny out." Mavis replied, knowing he was going hunting.

"Well...yes, but I can hide in the shadows."

Mavis frowned but opened the window and let him out. She saw smoke come off of him before he dove into the shadows. Johnny watched as well, admiring how the older vampire dove gracefully.

"How does he do that?" Johnny asked.

"I'm not sure, I can't." Mavis answered.

They closed the window and waited until it was night. They walked down into the lobby where Johnny's family was sitting. His older brother, David, was talking with Griffin. His younger sister, Marly, was playing with the werewolf pups. Wanda was talking with his mother, Becky, who seemed to be enjoying it. While Tom and his boss talked with Frankenstein and Wayne. Lilly noticed the couple and walked up, smiling.

"Where's Dracula?" she asked.

"He'll be here soon." Mavis replied, walking downstairs.

Johnny made sure to stay away from his ex as he followed Mavis. They walked up to his mother and started to chat with her and Wanda. Lilly glared at Mavis, clearly jealous of her dating Johnny.


~Few minutes later~

Dracula flew into the lobby and transformed into his normal form in front of them.

"Vampires are magic?" Tom's boss, Jerry, asked.

"Yes, why?" Dracula asked.

"I wasn't expecting it..."

"Most humans don't."

Mavis could hear the venom in his voice and cast him a glare. Dracula took notice and quickly calmed himself down and put on a fake smile.

"So, Johnathan, this is your family?" he asked, ignoring Jerry.

"Yeah, my mom Becky, my father Tom, my younger sister Marly, and my older brother, David." Johnny introduced them.

"Ah and this man must be Tom's boss?"

"Yeah, he's my boss." Tom replied, his voice hinting annoyance towards his boss.

Jerry gave him a warning look before smiling. "Great to finally meet the actual Count Dracula! Now..are the myths true?"

"No, not a single bit." Dracula said, his voice bitter.

"Ah, I see. So you don't get women...suck their blood and then-

"I don't do any of that! It's completely gross."

Jerry gave him an odd look, "I was expecting you to be more...scary. You are the king of monsters, after all."

"Yes, well, only when I need to be." Dracula replied.

"I see, do you go out in the sun? What happens? Is it painful? What does garlic do? Would you die with wood in your heart?"

Dracula blinked, "I didn't think it was possible for someone to ask questions quicker than Johnathan."

"Yeah, Jerry broke Johnny's record." Tom replied.

"Yes, when I go into the sun if very painful. It's like burning alive. My throat swells with garlic, and if it's stabbed through my heart, yes."

"Can you breath when garlic swells your throat?" Lilly asked.

"Not really..."

"So the inside swells?"

"Yes..."

"Is it it noticeable on the outside?"

"No...why are you asking me these?"

"No reason."

Dracula blinked before he headed towards the hallway. "Well, I said my hello, I-

"No, you're eating with us. Aren't you? It's...breakfast." Lilly asked.

"I didn't plan on-

"Well then come on!" she said as she grabbed his arm.

Mavis could see the glare creeping up on Dracula. She elbowed him in the ribcage before going with Johnny.


~4 hours later~

Breakfast, thankfully, went by smoothly. Dracula had a look of annoyance everytime Jerry or Lilly asked him a question. That mostly resulted around what could hurt or kill him. Which worried Mavis, as she remembered the words Johnny had said.

"She can be violent sometimes too."

She watched Lilly carefully. She hadn't eyed Dracula or glared at him, but could see the hint of evil in her blue eyes. Mavis felt a chill run up her spine, but she ignored it. Johnathan had noticed it too and had watched her carefully. Lilly didn't seem to notice the two watching her intently, but she did notice how annoyed Dracula was. She smiled to herself. She wanted to test just how far she could push him, before he lost his temper. It seemed to be short, but he had control over it.

After breakfast Dracula turned into a bat and flew off, ignoring the humans behind him. Tom frowned. "Is your father alright?" he asked Mavis.

"He's just not feeling well, he has a vampire cold." she lied.

"Oh, well then. I hear you guys have a pool?"

"Yeah, one of the zombies can show you. Hold on."

She quickly grabbed a zombie, and ushered them off towards the pool. She then grabbed Johnny and walked towards Dracula's room.

"Jerry and Lilly keep asking him questions that result in his death or injured." Mavis whispered.

"I know, it's weird. Maybe they're just curious?" Johnny replied.

"Maybe...but I'm still watching them."

"Agreed."

Mavis knocked on Dracula's door. She heard a snarl before he yanked it open. His eyes were glaring and annoyed. Mavis clenched her jaw.

"Can we come in?" she asked.

"Fine." Dracula growled through his teeth.

Mavis and Johnny walked in, only for the door to shut magically behind them. Scaring them a little. Dracula turned his back on them.

"What do you want?" he growled.

"Are you...alright?" Mavis asked.

"Do I sound alright? Those two...humans...are annoying! Why do they want to know about what will hurt or kill me? I don't trust them."

"You don't trust anyone." Mavis huffed.

"Excuse me?" Dracula hissed as he spun around, scaring his daughter.

His eyes were glowing red, slits as pupils. Mavis swallowed as her father advanced towards her.

"I...I...um...dad...please control your temper." she whispered.

Dracula was about to yell when he saw the horror in her eyes. He hadn't realized how was advancing on her like she was prey.

He calmed down and sighed, "I'm sorry. I just don't trust them...they're annoying and...hearing their heartbeats and not being able to drink their blood..." Dracula rambled.

"Dad, you need to push these instincts aside. I understand that they're hard to ignore, but you taught yourself before...didn't you?"

"Well...not exactly..."

"But you didn't attack Johnny...you did find going through that town. Why now? Why them?"

"Mavis, I told you before-

"You're going to ruin it for me!"

"Then make them stay away from me!"

He bared his fangs before turning into a bat and flew out a window. He slammed shut behind him. Johnny frowned.

"That went well." he said sarcastically.

"Whatever...he's just no fun and annoying." Mavis sneered.


~Few hours later~

Dracula returned to his room, paler than usual. Blood substitute was doing nothing for him, and constantly felt angry.

"How come my anger escalated so quickly?" he wondered aloud.

He remembered yelling at Mavis out of the blue, but she was pestering him. Those two humans, especially that girl, were strange. He had an uneasy feeling but knew he had to ignore it. He had to be calm and polite for the three months. Unless he wanted to ruin it for Mavis.

He sighed before slipping out into the hallway. It was sunrise, and he had grown tired. He yawned but walked to the kitchen. He poked his head in and didn't see any sign of Quasimodo. He walked over to the fridge and grabbed some blood. He poured it into a glass before teleporting to his room. He finished the glass before falling asleep.

The next night, he woke with a start. He was shaking and sweating, along with panting. He sighed and rubbed the sleep from his eyes. More nightmares. He wondered when they would go away. He walked down into the lobby to see Johnny and Mavis tackling each other.

"Hey, that's not fair! You're using your vampire strength!" Johnny complained.

"You never said there were rules!" Mavis countered, smirking.

Both laughed as Marley jumped on top of Mavis. "I captured a vampire! I captured a vampire!" she cheered.

Dracula smiled and chuckled at the scene. He didn't see Lilly anywhere and sighed in relief. He was disappointed to see Jerry talking with Murray. He didn't mind so much he was talking with his friends, but the fact he was there. He hated the questions he attacked him with.

He tried sneaking past them but Jerry spotted him. "Ah, Dracula! I have some more questions." he said as he walked over.

He swung his arm, well tried to anyways, around Dracula's shoulders. The tall vampire controlled his flaring temper as the man rambled on. He had no idea if his anger showed through his eyes but he noticed Mavis giving him a warning glare. He sighed before turning.

"If you don't mind, Jerry, I do not like people touching me." he said, "Especially people I just met."

Jerry blinked, "Sorry, sir. Well, um, could you answer my questions?"

"What?"

"The ones I just asked you."

"Oh them...could you repeat?"

Jerry frowned but then repeated them.

Deep in the dungeon, a human girl and a monster chef were talking. Plans forming in their demented minds about how to ruin Dracula's and Mavis' lives. Lilly wanting nothing but revenge and Johnny. Quasimodo wanting nothing but the death of Dracula and the hotel.
