They all gaped open mouthed at the sign on the door and then Johnny turned around where the cabbie was still sitting. "What happened?"

"This place closed down years ago. Dracula shut it down packed up and left."

"That's...not possible, this place was his entire life," Mavis said staring at the man.

"Well I heard he fell into a deep depression after his kid left. He kept it open for a while, hoping she'd come back. When she didn't he closed up shop and took off."

Mavis stared at him and then looked at Johnny.

"Any idea where he went?" Johnny asked.

"No, not for sure. I heard many things, staying with Frankenstein, Or the Werewolves that were always around here. Maybe with the mummy. But no one really knows for sure. After the hotel closed they all dispersed back to where they lived before their existence was revealed to us. And Count Dracula just disappeared. Either way he's not around here anymore. Is there another hotel you want to stay?"

Mavis shook her head firmly. "No. Thank you," She said before she turned and walked over to the doors of Hotel Transylvania.

"Ma'am I really don't think anyone's allowed in there."

"Considering my father ran this place, I am," She said as she pulled the sign down and pushed open the doors. They squeaked loudly, protesting the disturbance in their slumber as they moved, and she disappeared inside.

Johnny paid the man and then immediately went to follow his Wife, Dennis right behind him and Allison only a few seconds behind him.

It was like stepping into the past. The structure of the room, the furniture, everything was exactly how Dennis remembered it. And yet it wasn't. Everything was covered in a thick layer of dust. The bright reds that had been a part of the room were dulled with age. There were cobwebs everywhere, and not the artistic kind. On the far wall ivy was growing untamed and everything felt empty.

Dennis was still trying to wrap his head around what he was seeing when a loud squeak echoed from behind him. He jumped and looked around. Allison was closing the door behind her. She saw him looking at her and walked over. "This place looks like it would've been awesome."

"It was. It was amazing," He said softly. "It was immense and impressive. Guests were everywhere and every door had something to do behind it."

"I wish I could've seen it like that," She mumbled.

"Mavey? Mavis?" Johnny asked and they both looked around to see him approaching her where she was standing at the front desk. "Are you okay?"

"It's all my fault," she whispered, her voice thick, and Dennis noticed with a start that she was crying.

"No it's not hon. You did the right thing leaving-"

"But not staying gone," She countered. "All this time I thought he cared enough about the hotel. That it'd keep him happy... I never expected him to leave it."

Johnny was quiet for a moment. "You were wrong Mavis. You said this place was his life, but it wasn't. You were. He loved you."

"I know that."

"Then why'd you stay away for so long? Why didn't we ever come back."

"I...Was embarrassed. I had every right to be angry when Dennis almost died... But once he did get his fangs all my reasons for moving vanished and..."

"And it was more your pride than anything wasn't it?" He asked and she nodded with a sob, hiding her face in her hands. "So you made a mistake. It's alright, everyone does."

"I destroyed him. I let this destroy him. And now I don't even know where he is...to make it right."

Dennis finally spoke up. "Well the cabbie gave us some places to start. Uncle Frank's, Uncle Wayne's, Uncle Murray's. If we track him down... you could apologize," He offered. She was quiet for a long time before she finally nodded.

"Okay. Yes. That makes sense."

"Alright...so... where does Uncle Frank live? We can just fly there rather than call the cabbie back."

"I uhhh...I don't know," She admitted. "I wasn't allowed to leave the hotel, they came to visit me and then when our existence was revealed they moved in. I never got to see their place."

"Well this is a hotel, I'm sure their old information is here somewhere. We'll just have to see if there's files anywhere."

"Didn't you make Dad put everything on computer, Johnny?" Mavis asked looking at the old, dusty, and broken computers. Even if Dennis thought one of them could work, he'd never risk turning it on.

"Do you really think he listened to me?" Johnny replied smiling and Mavis chuckled a bit wetly as she wiped at her eyes.

"Fair enough," She sniffled. "The record room was downstairs. Come on."

They all followed after her as she lead the way to the record room. The door squeaked louder than the front one did when she pushed it open and she light a candle to help Johnny see. "Alright. It should all be alphabetized," She said heading over to the F's. "Johnny you get uncle Murray's? And Dennis you look for Uncle Wayne and Aunt Wanda's?"

Dennis nodded. "Come on Ally, come help me look," He said as he headed through the rows of filing cabinets, looking for the W's. When he found one he pulled it open. "Hmm... Waldgeist, Wana-games-ak, Wani," He said flipping through ones in the top drawer while Ally opened the middle one.

"W...we...Wen...Wendigo... What's a wendigo?" She asked.

"It's a cannibalistic monster that craves human flesh."

"Gross!" She said shuddering as she quickly moved past them.

"Well there's human flesh substitutes, just like we have blood substitutes. They don't kill anyone anymore."

"Still gross," She said. "Werewolf, Wayne! Found it!" She said pulling out a thick file.

"Nice work Ally," He said taking it as he closed the top drawer and took the file from her. He opened it and quickly realized it was so thick because Papa Drac had kept notes on all their children too. He chuckled and motioned for her to close the drawer before going to find their parents again.

"Ally found Uncle Wayne and Aunt Wanda, They live in Greece," He said.

"Uncle Frank and Aunt Eunice live in Germany."

"No surprise here, Murray lives in Egypt," Johnny added as he walked out holding his own file.

"Where should we try first?" Dennis asked.

"Greece is the closest," Mavis said nodding at the novel sized file in his hand and he felt a rush of adrenaline hit his system. Greece would be where Winnie was. He couldn't wait to see her. He nodded enthusiastically.

"Yeah. Yeah let's go. They live," He opened the file to check again. "Near the forests of Kosmas."

After a bit more discussing they were on their way, three bats, with the largest one carrying Johnny, flying towards Greece and one with an extra light heart, and some extra passengers of butterflies in his stomach. After all this time, after 13 years, he was finally going to see his best friend. He was so excited and yet a little nervous. What if she didn't remember him? What if she was mad at him? He hadn't had a chance for little more than a goodbye before his mother had whisked him away. What if she blamed him? It wasn't his fault, but as a kid it would be easy to be mad at him. They'd been so close and he'd just left. He did his best to push those thoughts aside though and just let his excitement fill his body. He really did miss her.
