Chapter 3. - The Night Has Eyes

Floating above the cold, moist night air, Johnny and Mavis really felt free, free to display they were. They knew that they were no longer forced to hide but still in areas heavily populated by humans they preferred a more discreet approach. The young man had on his mind that although monsters had been accepted by most humans, not all would tolerate them. Mavis noticed that Jonathan's mind was elsewhere by his slightly distracted expression, so she increasingly flew near him until she placed her lips over her partner's cheek snatching a smile from him again. The young vampire always believed it was Johnny who saved her from a life without dreams, but the reality was that they saved each other. The young vampire wondered how he could call "life" that he had without the presence of these deep blue eyes that filled him with love and tenderness and now were looking him keenly inviting him to continue flying regardless of a figure under them.

Dániel was still in shock at what he had just witnessed.

Just a few minutes ago he went outside the castle after crossing the hotel reception again where this time he uneasily watched with new eyes. Even the monsters that were there, like a humanoid fish-like, speaking some unintelligible sounds to a receptionist, two married skeletons complaining because of an intrusion into their privacy ... again; really didn't seem so different from humans. He couldn't see meat-eaters or souls-eaters like in movies and horror legends.

He was walking outside with a leisurely pace, he breathed the air deeply, pollution absent pure air - except for the slight musty smell that permeated the air- he had become accustomed to breathe and he felt he could think clearer. The silence was appreciated by him, only broken by the sound of his black boots stepping on the stone path that led him to a courtyard to the west of the castle in what seemed like a recreation area with a small terrace bar and a pool of emerald water where bathing would not be healthy. Seeking, accommodation in some of the chairs or dark blue hammocks he was received by a new female voice from the side of the bar, what was hidden at first sight by the lack of lighting.

"Hard to assimilate, right?" Agnes said as if she could read his mind-

"Yeah, it's like living in a horror movie, but ..."

"But it's not really a horror movie" the girl said getting out from the darkness where she sat. Between them the moon reflected her long golden hair loose from the coke she had since the tour started.

"Uh ... yes, It has not seen more than a few minutes since I arrived but they looked like good people" he replied as she nodded without realizing that their conversation was being watched by eyes from a window a few floors above.

"Just what I thought when I meet the human who later married my daughter" –Said a penetrating voice a few meters above them. The count disliked hearing conversations from others even though it was accidental as it was right now and when the vampire realized the unrest that had gripped his two guests, it was clear that they didn't know anything of his "haven of peace" as he liked to call the hotel.

They raised their sight frightened before they saw the count change into a purple mist softly descending almost like sliding on the outer wall before returning back to his original form when touching the ground a short distance from them.

"Excuse me, I didn't wish to frighten you, my name is Dracula and I am the hotel Manager." the count apologized seeing some fear in their eyes while they were moving back.

"Dracula ..." mumbled Dániel unable to avoid a chill.

"I don't remember seeing you in the reception, have you bookmarked recently?"

"Um ... yeah, we arrived today ... we couldn't set an arrival time so I guess we were delayed a bit, it took us several days driving here ... it has been ..." - said Agnes thinking - "... more than 2000 km" helped the boy.

"two thousand miles!" - Exclaimed the count surprised, the fact that a group of humans had moved so abysmal a distance just to meet them fill him with pride and he couldn't help but give them a smile, but - "didn't you know about this site? Did you come without knowing it? By your reaction, so it seems" he asked with interest.

"Um, yes ... we were told but the truth is it was hard to believe it was real," said the young man shamefully scratching his not very long brown hair while they both began to explain how it was all planned as a surprise by the organizer, and certainly it was.

Dracula nodded, he could understand it because the monsters attempted to stay hidden for too long for humans let them to believe monster were just legends, so adjusting his cloak, he took seat and began to tell the story of Martha, his loss and how that tragedy led the hotel construction, the relationship between Johnny, Mavis and the count himself before and after Johnny presented himself like a Stein, the closure of the hotel and as it was finally decided that it was going to be a suitable place for humans and monsters.

After telling the young couple they didn't know what to say, the girl had her mouth covered by her hand in an attempt to hold back the tears and the boy looked with bright eyes from thrill, without saying a word. Dracula knew then that they began to understand.

"Well, if you'll excuse me, I must attend other matters," said the count after seeing something that caught his attention from the starry sky, "I hope your stay it will be as pleasant as possible, if you have any problems do not hesitate to come to the armors" the count said smiling as kindly as he could before transforming into a bat and fluttered away.

Daniel and Agnes went back to the drawing room to go to their rooms, then the boy, near his turned around to face an armor which was still in the hallway.

"Excuse me?" He said directing his voice wavering towards the bright helmet.

"Yes, sir, what can I do for you?" a voice immediately replied helpful and cold.

"I would like to change rooms" - he requested.

"If you have any problems with your room, I'll call maintenance immediately, sir"

"Nonononono, thanks very much, I just would like to stay in another area"

"But sir, this is the castle area dedicated to humans"

"That's the point, how can we be under the same roof as the protagonists of all the legends I've heard from I was a child just to be isolated from them? ... Please" the young man almost begged.

"... Very good sir, come with me"

It had been a day full of emotions but he was starting to sincerely joy for being there.


The two bats were flying playful and carefree until after a few minutes a new small winged figure approached them.

"Guys, I was looking for, their rooms are ready, must be exhausted" - Dracula said remembering what Johnny called "jet-lag" - "and also, the sun would not delay coming out"

"Yet with this Drac? Separate rooms? It was some time ago that we became husband and wife "Johnny protested but the count pretended not to hear him while descending into a small window in a castle almenar showing them the way to a sulky Johnny and a smiling Mavis who always got amused by the contrast between her father and her husband.

It was after adopting their human forms and heading to the stairs that they followed the count into a narrow spiral staircase to downstairs a few levels to a bedroom monster area to stop at a locked door which the vampire introduced an old key out of a pocket inside his cloak. The ancient slightly cracked wooden door opened screeching exposing the two to a newly restored room with antique furniture but conjoined well with reds and golds of the room lit by candle lamps strategically placed backboned by a wide bed topped by a huge version of the portrait commissioned by Dracula to be released which shows the whole family.

The young vampires looked confused at their host with their opened mouths who was smiling and closing the door behind him. He had a smile of satisfaction knowing that this time it was him who left them without knowing what to say, adding before completely closing the door to leave them in private - "you see backpackies, I'm not so old" - and so he left remembering the surprised funny faces of the couple.

It took a few seconds for the couple to react holding their hands and melting into a sweet, long and soft kiss.
