Chapter 6: Giving
Dracula wrote a letter to Johnathan to meet him and then called one of the knights to his room.
"Would you please make sure this gets to Johnathan and ONLY Johnathan?" Drac asked.
"Will do!" The knight replied, raising is arm to a salute.
"Thank you. Thank you. Now leave me be."
The vampire felt weak as the knight took off from his study and headed towards Johnny. He didn't know what Johnny would say or how he would react. He only hoped that whatever happened Mavis' feelings wouldn't be shattered.
"Hm... I wonder which outfit would look better for my party?"
Mavis has spent the last 2 days searching for an outfit for her 119th birthday party. She can't decide if she wants to make something herself like she did with the cape last year or if she wants to go to the town and buy one. She definitely couldn't find anything here in this mess. All she had was multiples of the same outfit.
"Maybe something red... I haven't worn red since I was 89."
She was staring at her wall in thought when a knock at the door brought her mind back into focus.
"Come in!"
A knight entered Mavis' room and said. "A note from Dracula to Johnathan. Urgent and for his eyes only!."
Mavis replied. "Well, Johnny's not here right now but if you want you can either wait for him to come back or leave it here with me."
"I must hand it directly to him. Those are my orders."
Mavis rubbed her temples, getting a slight headache from the empty suit of armor.
"Just leave it I promise I won't look. Do you really think I would read something that important if my father said not too?"
The knight stood for a few moments and then sat the letter down on the dresser.
"Please make sure that he receives the letter. If he doesn't, you'll father will have me clean toilets again!"
Mavis sighed. "Alright! Alright! Just go! And if you could, have one of the maids to bring me up a sewing machine please."
"Will do Miss."
The knight walked out of the room, leaving Mavis alone with a strange letter from her father. To Johnny.
"I wonder what's inside.."
She reached for the letter and opened it. She didn't barely make it through the first sentence when the door flew open.
Johnny swung open the door to find Mavis sitting upright on her bed facing the wall, reading a letter.
"Hey Mavis. Watcha got there? I note from your secret admirer?"
Mavis was startled and quickly folded the letter back into it's envelope.
"Oh! Hey Johnny! I didn't think you would be back so soon! And no it's not. It's from my dad. He wrote you a letter for some odd reason."
"Okay. Even though that is odd, I find it even odder that you were reading a letter that was for me."
She looked down at her feet. "I'm sorry. It's just that I've been so alone since we've gotten back and you and my dad have been spending so much time together. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad you guys are spending time together. I was just curious what he was writing to you that he couldn't say in person."
"That isn't a good enough reason to go through somebody's stuff Mavis."
Johnathan grabbed the letter from her hands and said. "Maybe it's best I just not talk to you for a while. I didn't think you of all people would invade my privacy like that."
And with that, Johnny walked out the door and headed towards the kitchen to grab a quick snack. Then he would go up to his room and find out what was in this letter that made Mavis so curious.
