"Hey!"

The froze and turned round, grinning as I walked towards her cautiously, "Hey I'm Mavis, are you a human?" She asked excitedly, clasping her hands together as she leaned towards me. Blinking I tilted my head at her as I looked round, "um hi Mavis I'm Avia and no, no I'm not. You're a vampire aren't you?" She smiled and nodded, walking round the fountain that was in the middle of the square, "yeah I'm a vampire, Dracula's daughter though you probably knew that."

"No, no I didn't. I didn't even know he was real." Now don't think I'm crazy but I do believe that underneath Mavis' gasp of shock I heard a very manly exclamation of "WHAT?" She looked at me gob smacked, her jaw dropped and her eyes wide as she stared, "how could you not know Dracula was real? Where have you been and what are you exactly?"

Sighing I walked on the opposite side of the fountain to Mavis, running my hand along the walls of the building's, "I'm 227 years old and I've never met another supernatural apart from my parents and they died when I was 218. And as for what I am well…

"Well?"

"I'm a fallen."

…

"YOU'RE A FALLEN ANGEL?"

"SHHH! Not so loud!"

I clamped a hand over mouth, as she looked at me in awe, moving my hand away to speak, "you're a real fallen angel? I've never met one before and the only people I know to have met some are my uncle Frankenstein and Aunt Eunice."

Looking at her I stopped in front of a storefront that was selling really old clothes, "those names are familiar, maybe my parents knew them." She nodded and stood beside me, "isn't this human village cool?"

"Human Village? The towns folk didn't say anything about a village out in the woods."

Mavis gawked at me, "You've been to a human settlement? And you didn't get killed?" I snorted and shook my head, "of course not! My family and I have lived amongst humans for about 30 years now and they definitely don't sell things like this anymore unless it's a vintage store-

I was going to say more but, the sight of torches and people wearing centuries old clothing gathering in a mob stopped me, "Uh, that's definitely not normal."

Backing up with Mavis I gulped as she clung to my arm, "Avia…" she whimpered as more appeared behind us and started circling as the street lights suddenly went out, "uh hi humans, everything okay?" She asked as I narrowed my eyes at them ass, "this isn't right" I muttered to myself as Mavis gulped, "My name is Mavis Dracula and this is Avia-

A door beside us burst open and a man with a pitchfork walked out, "vampire… burn clothes."

"Burn my clothes, really? Um-

"Vampire!"

"Burn your clothes"

"Take your candy!"

We backed up towards the fountain as she laughed nervously, "um we're friendly, we really are uh calm down now, I just wanted to say hi."

"I really don't think they're listening Mavis."

I growled as one got close and pulled Mavis towards me, "you need to go." I said suddenly, pulling her back as one swung a shovel, "now!"

"But what about you?"

"From the looks of things Mavis they really are not interested in me." I said snappishly, gawking as one tripped and set on fire causing a domino effect as they all caught fire, "Holy rabies your on fire, is there anything I can do?"

"MAVIS GO NOW!"

She looked at me in fear before clenching her fists, "dad was right." She whispered before she transformed into a bat and flew off into the distance. Gulping I backed into the fountain before launching myself over it just as one of the humans swung an axe before tripping on the pole and falling to the ground, it's mask falling – wait a mask? Taking a closer look I didn't see the shadow forming behind me as I gasped, "a zombie? But why would-

Yelping as someone gripped my shoulder I froze as they squeezed my pressure point, "You are very brave but, I cannot allow my daughter to be endangered, this was the only way." Gasping the last thing I saw before I collapsed was a pair of icy blue eyes on a handsome mans face.

Dracula's P.O.V

Catching the girl as she slumped over I carefully lowered her onto the side of the fountain, placing her arm over her stomach as her head flopped to one side, "I do not know what you are but, thank you for trying to protect Mavis even though it was not necessary." Rising to my feet I looked in the direction my little Mavis flew off into, "it worked, now my baby will be safe, forever." Taking a glance in the direction of the girl I clapped my hands together, "alright everybody get back to work now- hey you don't need a manikin, leave the manikin here come on." I watched for a moment as the zombies began tearing down the fake buildings and carrying them back towards the hotel before I transformed and flew off myself, I'd better go speak to my little Mavy- Wavy.

I landed outside her door and growled at the little shrunken head as she yelled at me, "Where have you been, why you sneaking around?"

"Shh, be quiet- Sweetheart have you returned so soon?"

"Uh, come in dad"

"What? How did it go, how was the big world? How was it out there?"

"It was okay dad."

"What, what's the matter?"

Mavis turned and faced me; my heart almost broke at seeing the tears building in my baby's eyes, "dad you were right, humans are awful, they were everything you said! They wanted to bite my toes!"

"Your toes?"

"And they had garlic, on bread!"

"What? Look at me I'm getting goose bumps I'm so scared"

I rubbed my arms to emphasize my point as my darling walked over to her window and stared out of it. Sighing I walked over and wrapped my arms around her, "I'm sorry my darling, I'm so sorry you had to see that."

"I'm so sorry I doubted you, I'll never leave here again."

My eyes widened as I nodded and rubbed her back, "oh, okay, okay" I let go and gripped her shoulders, crouching a bit to look into her eyes, "look, daddy is going to make you the bestest birthday ever -, I reached into my cloak and gripped a plate, "- look what I brought you, your worm cakes!" She took the plate with a smile and I nudged her chin gently, "don't be sad anymore, remember this is the year we open mommy's present for you."

"What did she get me?"

"We'll see, she said to never open it until you were 118, we've waited this long." Backing up towards the door I waved my hands towards her, "now you eat your worm cakes and come down whenever your ready honey." Smiling I closed the door and leaned against it sighing heavily in relief. For however long it lasted until the blasted shrunken head started again.

"What did you do?"

"What was I had to."

"Uh huh."

"She'll thank me one day."

"Yeah, that's what the guy who shrunk my head said."

I grinned and gagged her before walking down the corridor, ah it felt wonderful to shut her up. I took the elevator down to the lobby and smiled warmly at the sight of my guests wandering around before a zombie came up to me and groaned, "yes, what do you want a cookie? You did alright man move on already." I sighed as the zombie walked off and stared towards the entrance to the lobby, my eyes widening when I took in the fact that the girl was here and WAS THAT A HUMAN!
