chapter 1.- the arrival
The young man was driving without his car roof to shield him so that it was almost like he felt the stars while listening to one of his favorite songs "moonlight shadows". Feeling the wind against his hair driving across the road just illuminated by the car's headlights proceeded by the rest of the caravan who met just hours before in a modest but warm Croatian hostel. During a relaxed dinner under a dim light that didn't illuminate every corner of the room, he met the nine members of the club being among them John, the organizer, giving a rough overview ensuring that it will be "original" without hiding a smile knowing his listeners were intrigued. Of course the dinner conversation was around the surprises waiting in store for them and was accompanied by a chorus of sips of warm homemade broth with a gray stone fireplace fueled by wood at the back of the audience making it even more of a comfortable atmosphere.
All were eager to see the surprises the middle aged man had organized. John was a guy with short reddish hair and a paunch that seemed to make him appear older than he was. He wore a very thick shirt and an orange polo that resembled a lifesaver and an orange on dark trousers with some pockets on the sides.
Daniel was the newest and youngest member of the group, the "baby" as John liked to call him. John was the kind of person looking for rough jokes and making nicknames to pretend be funny with the people around but as latest club addition, the young man knew it was not wise to blame his attitude. For the event, the boy chose dark blue jeans, a brown shirt, a casual biker jacket and thick leather jacket under which he carried a silver necklace which he often fondled with a nostalgic attitude.
He had to get out of his thoughts to avoid a crash into a small rock with a quick swerve because it would have been an accident for sure and would have damaged the wheel, which could be a serious problem on such a solitary road.
"Zzzzttt ... lady and gentlemen, are you ready for the first surprise? ... Zzzt" sounded the dark red walkie-talkie each vehicle had to be in contact with the rest, "as we pass through the next tunnel we will stop at the first road rest that is located approximately 350 meters ahead."
So it was, after the thunderous echoing all the engines made subsided in a not too extensive tunnel illuminated by the car's headlights they arrived at a road rest where all of them started to get out one by one from their vehicles. Certainly the atmosphere was very cool, though the heating of the vehicles was something imperceptible except for a classic English roadster driven by a middle-aged couple with obvious gestures of cold. It was not very wise to go without heating and without a roof. Being freezing out between giggles and jokes its two occupants were welcomed by the other members.
"I'm surprised you that you could get out of the car, I thought that I would have been stuck with your ass in the seat" - joked John once again exposing his bad sense of humor, "Well, look at the first of the surprises" inviting the others to look where he was pointing with his finger ... it certainly was a feast for the eyes
Before them showed the lake Santa Anna, one of the most beautiful places in Romania, surrounded by untamed forests as far as the eye could see covered by a blanket of frost enhancing its beauty that was already getting dark. Poignant, beautiful and wild. Nobody said anything, the tears said more than words.
After a while of enjoying the scenery until the sun went down leaving one last golden gleam and with renewed encouragement everyone prepared to restart driving again when the organizer announced the second surprise.
"Zzzzzt ... gentlemen? Give your toys gas, the next 5 km road was cut for us." That statement was supplemented by a standing ovation from the excited audience who began to roar their vehicles.
"Maintain you composure!" Dracula roared at the monsters that began to surround the couple in love, seeing that they were breaking the usual order which governed the hotel. However, he found it impossible to hide his joy as well.
The human occupants began to ask who the young couple was who seemed so popular and in this way Jonathan's and Mavis' love story started once again to run around the hotel.
"Cousins!" Jonathan and Mavis while still surrounded by their friends were surprised by a sudden hug from someone behind through the crowd...
"Winnie" jolly Jonathan exclaimed, recognizing the voice of the only girl in Wayne and Wanda's litter. The couple never forgot that they were together thanks to her extraordinary sense of smell, showing Dracula the way to bring Johnny back before of being lost forever. But as he turned to return the embrace both opened their eyes wide as they could barely recognize the girl-wolf who was smiling at then.
"Winnie?" Mavis asked not believing her eyes.
The girl smiled shyly, in these years she had changed and the puppy certainly had become a young woman of about 17 years dressed in jeans and a dark fuchsia t-shirt with a picture of a white skull. Left behind were her pigtails in her hair now replaced by a ponytail and her face ceased to be that of a child to acquire young innocent features and vivid eyes.
"Wow! You look beautiful "exclaimed Johnny
"Hey!" - Mavis protested causing laughter in the rest of the friends around them-
"You come alone little one?" Dracula fondly asked the member of the litter that made him fell the most tenderness. There were many features about her that made him take her affection; she respected her father but he was fearful if she got angry, even the rest of the litter stepped aside to not disturb her. Possibly she could be as fearsome of a monster as Frankenstein.
"Some of my brothers came with me, but they stopped to mark the forest," she said while hugging her cousin as she liked to call her.
After a crossing at very high speeds –too much for Daniel, he preferred to enjoy a slower one – they rode into the deep dense gloomy forest giving him have a chill on his back; after a while the got on a land road "Zzzzt ... John... Sure it's the right path? It does not seem to go anywhere ... zzzzt civilized" he wondered uneasily.
"Zzzt ... trust in me, this is the way ... zzzt"
He had no choice but to continue within the caravan, abandoning it seemed like a bad idea and since we had come this far it would be a shame to go back. But maybe John was right, he could see a light that looked lampposts or a neon sign, but disappointment took his face when he saw it was a cloud of fireflies but... they did not disperse when approaching and he would swear that the cloud formed an arrow indicator? He shook his head trying to forget this nonsense. However, the rest of the course was no less strange. Leaving behind the dirt path just to get a few meters to a road paved with stones blunt by time and use that chattered the car occupant's teeth causing a comedic show which they thanked no one could see. They finally passed an underpass that could have easily gone unnoticed by the strange arrangement, almost like an old secret passage that led to a long tunnel and at the end ... they were amazed seeing a castle that stood on a full moon background giving off pale blue tones, surrounded by a cliff and mountain formations with a mist over it that could keep it isolated from the rest of the world.
"Zzzzzt ... guys, welcome to the hotel Transylvania ... zzztt"
