There's No Place Like Hotel Transylvania:

Sunrise of Hope

Fog was filling the graveyard that filled the hotel's perimeters, hiding the upcoming dawn as Dracula carried Johnny by his shirt's collar, preventing the young man's feet from touching the ground, while an angry Emma and Hook followed.

"Oh, you messed up, baby!" Dracula angrily told at Johnny. "You messed up big time! I told you to take it down! You'll ruin my hotel if they find out."

"Maybe you're just jealous that people are finally having fun at this place!" snapped Johnny.

"Or maybe you are such an attention whore busy making a fool of yourself while we are desperately trying to get back to our own timeline!" Hook said.

"And that out there?" Dracula put Johnny down while exclaiming and doing weird body gestures. "That was not fun! Everyone running, jumping, and swimming with no order? That was the opposite of fun!"

Emma and Hook frowned as they watched Dracula and Johnny argue. Well, they did both mentally agree that Dracula had a control freak perspective on how to entertain. Personally, if the pirate captain and the Savior had to define fun in their own words, it would have been sailing and eating ice cream with Henry respectively.

"Do you even know what fun is?" Johnny asked Dracula.

"I invented fun!" snapped Dracula.

Johnny crossed his arms and grumbled something about the wrong people getting to be immortal. Dracula made an angry face before getting into the stereotypical vampire pose that Emma usually saw at Halloween and his eyes glowing in a red hue.

"Look at me," he told Johnny as if to hypnotize him. "You remember nothing of this encounter. You have no memory of this place or the monsters you met. Now go and never return!"

"Swan, he's erasing his memories!" Hook realized out loud.

"Wait, never return to the hotel?"

"UH?" the three adults said in unison. Emma frowned, Hook was dumbfounded, and Dracula looked confused. For some reason, Dracula's attempt to hypnotize Johnny didn't work.

"You were supposed to forget the hotel," Dracula said as he pointed between Johnny's eyes. "I used my powers to erase your memories, I looked straight into your eyes!"

Johnny pondered a bit before saying: "Uh. Oh, maybe it's the contact lenses!"

"The what?" Hook asked in confusion. As he was still a fish out of temporal water, he had no idea of what contact lenses were.

"These little plastic thingies that help me see better. Here, let me just get them out real quick..." He began to put his fingers on one of his eyeballs in order to attempt removing the contact lens, which caused Hook and Dracula to both freak out.

"UGH! THAT IS THE MOST DISGUSTING THING I'VE EVER SEEN!" exclaimed Dracula in a squeamish tone.

"Almost got it..." Johnny said.

"Stop doing that, Johnny!" Hook begged. "Fingers away from the eyeballs!"

"ENOUGH!" shouted Dracula as he grabbed Johnny's hands and made him stop his creepy scenario. Emma had been snickering all this time about how silly men could be.

"Listen to me," Dracula threatened Johnny in a tone that even freaked out Emma and Hook, especially when the vampire's angry threats made Johnny shrink like a child being scolded by his parents, "you are never to return here. You are to stay away and never tell other humans about this place. Or I will track you down suck every ounce of blood from your body until you look like a deflated Whoopee cushion!"

"But...what about Emma and..." Johnny began before Dracula cut him off and told him once more to leave. Johnny huffed and left, hands in his pockets, until his silhouette disappeared into the shadows.

"Finally! I thought he'd never leave!" Dracula groaned in relief before clasping his hands together. "OK, now I can worry about your time portal and I won't have to worry about other monsters discovering your presence in my hotel!"

"That's fine by me, mate," Hook said with a smug.

"Good, because I was getting tired of that honeymoon charade," Emma grumbled as she and the men began to head back to the hotel.

"Oh, because I suppose you're still not tired of running away from home?" Hook glared at Emma.

"Hook, we had this discussion!"

"Yes, spare me of your constant excuses of not wanting to stay in Storybrooke with your family because you want your son to have a normal life in the Land Without Magic!" Hook replied angrily. "You saw how happy he was once he got his memories back and Regina broke the curse and defeated the Wicked Witch! For once you could have been happy staying with your family, united after all the odds you went through, but you'd rather go to some place like New York and keep running from home!" He walked ahead of Emma and didn't speak to her for the rest of the trip back to Hotel Transylvania. As much as he preferred to mind his own business, Dracula seemed to be noticing with curiosity the argument between the two humans, especially when it came to the part of Emma's family.

They got to the castle and, after successfully dodging monsters, they got to the library, which was empty at the moment and left room for the trio to search for clues concerning opening a time portal.

"These two aisles contain books concerning portal creations and other travel manners," Dracula showed them two old-fashioned book aisles similar to those in universities. "Everything is sorted in alphabetical order."

"Well then!" Hook said gruffly before heading towards the second aisle. "I'll be all the way at Z. And please don't feel like catching up to me."

Emma said nothing while Hook left for the aisle, leaving her to deal with the first aisle.

"Is he your lover?" Dracula bluntly asked Emma, causing her to blush.

"What? No! He's just...an acquaintance," Emma said. Dracula didn't buy seem to buy it.

"So...you have a son?"

Emma grabbed the first book that started with 'A'. "Yes." She was not liking how Dracula was starting to ask her questions.

"You love your son Henry very much, don't you?"

Emma froze when the vampire said Henry's name out loud. She turned to face the count. "How did you...Don't tell me you read my thoughts," she begged. Honestly, she didn't want this to turn into a Twilight scene.

"A twelve-year-old boy born from the Savior and the Dark One's offspring, bearing the Heart of the Truest Believer in him, adopted by the Evil Queen Regina, only one aware of the First Dark Curse before it was broken, and cleverer than one can believe," Dracula said as he crossed his arms.

"That's enough," Emma nearly snapped. She didn't need a reminder that Henry was one of the reasons why she needed to return to Storybrooke.

"Your protective nature over your son is understandable, but why you'd want him and yourself to stay away from your true family is a complete riddle to me."

"You wouldn't understand..."

"Human, I may be a count, a vampire, and a hotel owner/manager, but I am also a father. I've been raising Mavis since she was a baby while running Hotel Transylvania at the same time. But did you seriously think that this sanctuary was only created to protect monsters from the cruelties of your kind? Didn't it ever occur to you that I have my own reasons for fearing my daughter leaving the hotel grounds?"

Emma blinked, baffled by what the count had just said. She had completely forgotten how protective he was towards Mavis, especially whenever the three humans were near. But was there another, more emotional reason behind all this?

"I'll come back in an hour or two to check up on you two," Dracula said as he began to make his way towards the doors of the library. "I've made my own arrangements with my friends at the spa. Please try to avoid getting into trouble and running into other monsters."

"We'll stay put, milord!" Hook said in acknowledgement.

"It's Count and thank you!" There was a slight hint of amusement in the vampire's voice before he left the humans alone in their research to find a way back home.
