Age of Johnny and Mavis' kids:

Lucy: 104 (similar to a human's age of 16/17)

Jack: 91 (similar to a human's age of 15)

Mina: 31 (similar to a human's age of 5/6)

U - Unfair

Being a monster hotel, Hotel Transylvania had to put up with it's fair share of monster inspectors. The inspectors would visit every couple of decades or so, usually shooting Count Dracula some kind of disapproving look for no reason - but they'd always leave glowing review at the end of their week long stays. Back before the arrival of a certain human, the inspectors had come and gone, leaving the hotel open for yet another few decades.

Now, as some people are aware, not all monsters take so kindly to the presence of humans.

Unfortunately for Johnny, he was forever known as 'that human', even after Mavis had changed him before their wedding. This wouldn't really have bothered him all that much - if being 'that human' was not some kind of degrading insult, of course - but he knew that retaliating would either cause a monster to lash out and report him to some kind of higher power, or cause one of the ominous hotel inspectors to shut down the hotel during one of their inspections. Because of this, whenever they were due to visit, Mavis and Johnny had decided it would be best to just keep their family away from the hotel during that week, just in case.

There's only so much a person could take though, even if that person was the usually laid-back Johnny.

Two months after Jack turned ninety-one (similar to a human's age of fourteen, as Johnny decided), an inspector was due to arrive at the hotel. Unfortunately, the family only got word of this after they'd arrived for a stay, so they had no choice but to hurriedly try to unpack all of their belongings and try to leave as soon as they could.

However, a certain vampire child's curiosity caught them out the afternoon of their would-be escape.

"Uhh...Jack?" Lucy whispered to her brother nervously, putting the magazine she'd been reading down on her suitcase. "Where's Mina?"

Jack looked up from his book and gazed around the hotel with alert brown eyes. "Umm...with Mom and Dad?"

The red-head shook her head. "No. They left her here with us, so they could get their bags."

The siblings looked at each other for a moment before snapping into action; Lucy morphed into her bat form and flew to the other end of the lobby to search for their little sister, while Jack simply ran in the opposite direction, book still in his hand.

"Mina?" Lucy called, blue eyes searching through all of the different monster guests.

"Mina!" Jack shouted, trying to make himself heard as he pushed through a throng of guests worriedly.

The next thing he knew he was bumping straight into his father; the two clumsily fell to the floor, Jack's book falling out of his hands, and they lett out identical 'oomph!'s in an almost comical way.

Mavis appeared seconds later, and looked down at the two with a somewhat amused expression. "You guys alright down there?" She laughed, and both of the other vampires clambered to their feet quickly, Jack reaching to pick up his book. "Anyway, what are you doing over here? We're meant to be leaving in a quiet wa-"

"Mina's gone," Jack blurted, cringing when both of his parents just stared at him. "Hey, it's not my fault - Lucy's the oldest! It was totally her job!"

Johnny and Mavis looked at each other, smiles fading completely as the panic started to set in. "What do you mean 'gone'?" Johnny asked, eyes wide. "Where's Lu now?"

Jack blinked, slowly lifting a finger in the general direction his eldest sister had gone in. "She's looking too..."

Mavis was visibly starting to panic; judging by her wide eyes and even paler than usual skin, her husband briefly wondered if she'd gone into shock. "Look, she's probably just with some of the guests," He assured her quickly, putting a hand on her shoulder. "I mean, you know how she loves playing with that Yeti family, the ones in Room-"

Before he could finish his sentence, his wife had morphed into her bat form and was already flying across the lobby. "We've got to look for her!" She called over her shoulder worriedly, already in full-blown panic mode. While she knew that none of the guests would even dream of hurting any of her children (let alone the tiny little Mina), some of them were quite large...what if one stepped on her accidentally?

Before she could fret more on that thought, Mavis bumped into another bat; judging by the bright red fur and blue eyes, it was immediately clear that it was Lucy who she'd just collided with. "Mom!" Lucy cried, voice higher than usual. She looked around, as if an excuse would appear out of thin air. "I was just...you know...taking a quick flight before we left! Stretching my wings and all!"

"I know that your sister is missing," Mavis said dryly, and her eldest daughter's shoulders slumped. "And let me tell you now, you and your brother are going to be in so much trouble when we get ho-"

A high-pitched child's shriek cut her off. Both bats looked down and around the lobby, trying to see where it had come from; a second scream and the direction that some of the monsters in the lobby started to head towards lead them to the check-out desk. The mother and daughter morphed back before pushing through the crowd to try and find the youngest vampire child.

The first thing they saw was a tall and stunning female vampire with flowing brown hair and emerald green eyes; she was dressed in a long, sleek black dress that reached past her feet, giving her a regal look, and she had a gold necklace around her neck with a red jewel of some kind shining on top of her chest. She was definitely attractive, no doubt about it, although she would have been more so if she hadn't been wearing such an unpleasant scowl on her face in that moment.

"Whose child is this?" She snarled, voice cold. That was when everyone's attention was turned to a struggling child next to her; the dark-haired vampire child was squirming uncomfortably, and upon further inspection it was clear that the brunette vampire had an iron-tight grip on her wrist.

Before Mavis could step in, another voice stopped her. "Err...she's my daughter." Everyone turned, only to see Johnny standing there; Jack was next to him, and it was clear that they'd only just managed to make their way through the crowd.

The tall vampiress spun to face him, eyes narrowed dangerously. "Your daughter?"

Johnny nodded meekly.

"Well, you should learn to have better control over your young!" She said coldly, and thrust Mina towards him. Mina stumbled and fell to the floor in front of her father and brother, immediately crawling closer to them for safety. "The little brat ran straight into me as I checked in!"

Johnny opened his mouth, only to be interrupted by a different stern voice - this time one that was much more welcome to him. "Yes, well, she is young," Dracula argued calmly, the crowd that had previously formed parting so that he could walk through. "She has much to learn...Ava, if I'm correct?"

The vampiress - Ava - straightened up even more. "You have to have control over young ones and discipline them - they'll never learn if they don't."

The Count took a step closer, demeanour suddenly more threatening. "That is not your decision to make," He said coldly. "And if you ever lay a hand on any of my grandchildren again, I'll make sure that you are very sorry."

Ava's mouth fell open slightly, eyebrows furrowed in utter disbelief. "She's your granddaughter?" She snarled, glaring back down at Mina; her eyes glowed a dangerous shade of red. Mina shuddered slightly on the spot, clinging to her brother's leg as if it were a teddy bear. "She is...that human's spawn?"

She focused her glare on Johnny, who couldn't help but flinch slightly on the spot. Jack hurriedly bent down and pulled his little sister into his arms - he could sense a fight brewing like a potion.

Mavis stepped forwards, glaring at the new vampire. "That's also my daughter you're talking about," She seethed, going into over-protective mode. She never thought she'd be as over-protective as her father, but now...now she could see exactly why he'd been like that with her. "My family - who are you to come into our hotel and judge us?"

Ava, surprisingly, smiled at the dark-haired vampire woman in a silkily sweet way that gave away more bad than good. "Oh, just a hotel inspector."

There was a gasp from the majority of the crowd, and muttering started to be heard amongst them; only Dracula seemed unfazed, clearly knowing who she'd been since the very start of the conversation.

Mavis, though quite surprised that it was the hotel inspector she was talking to, continued to frown. "So? You still have no right to treat my daughter like that!"

Ava gave Mavis a sly smile, bearing pearly white fangs. "And despite the fact that you're the owner's daughter - the one person who should care about the guests - you still continue to put everyone in our world in danger."

"She's NOT dangerous," Jack protested suddenly, getting the wrong idea. "She's...Mina is a baby, for goodness sake!"

Mina frowned at him seriously, quite offended. "I'm not a baby, Jack! I'm thirty-one now!"

"She's harmless," One of the guests - a fly - agreed, nodding his head.

"My son, Big Junior, plays with her all the time!" A Yeti mother stated, also nodding and smiling.

It was obvious that the brunette hotel inspector was not happy with the turn of conversation. "I didn't mean the little brat, I meant the human!" She pointed at Johnny and glared again. "He's dangerous to us!"

"Look, I know that my clothes stink bad sometimes," Johnny muttered. "But it's not that bad once you get used to it!"

"My husband isn't a human," Mavis argued impatiently, rolling her eyes. "I changed him before our wedding, over a hundred years ago."

"Oh! Yeah!" The red-head nodded, as if it proved the point. "See? I still have the marks where she bit me." He pointed to said marks, grinning around at everyone.

Dracula couldn't help but roll his eyes as well, this time at his son-in-law's behaviour. "Look," He said, trying to keep calm - he really didn't want to lose his hotel, even if it meant he had to be nice to such a...well, horrible guest. "Johnny has been staying at this hotel for over a hundred years, and he's never heard anyone-"

"I didn't hurt anyone when I was human either," Johnny added, ignoring when the Count glared at him.

"He's harmless," The older vampire stated, directing it both at Ava and the other guests. "So there's no need to worry." He turned back to Ava, giving her a fake smile that matched his fake politeness. "Now, I will call one of the zombies from behind the desk to take you up to your room, and then they will bring your belongings for you."

"Thank You," Ava said, also in a fake polite tone, before turning to Mavis and giving her a rather thin smile. "It looks like we'll be seeing a lot of each other then, doesn't it?"

"Actually, we were just leaving," Lucy blurted before her mother could speak.

Ava raised a curved eyebrow. "I see. So it has nothing to do with me or the human?"

"Our Dad isn't a human," Jack mumbled as the rest of the guests started to disperse; he moved closer to his older sister and passed Mina to her.

"We have to get home," Mavis said, taking over and trying to fix the situation. "We have things we need to do."

The brunette vampire looked between the family members, clearly not pleased. "But surely you can stay to see how the inspection goes? And I would very much like to talk to the famous Count Dracula's daughter...and his grandchildren, of course."

The kids all looked at Mavis, too terrified to say anything in case it got them in more trouble. "Well," The dark-haired vampire started hesitantly. "I...we weren't planning on it, but...but I suppose we could stay a couple more days."

"Lovely," Ava flashed them a smile. "I'll see you around...oh, and please keep your kids under control."

As she stalked away, head held high in a regal pose, Mavis and the kids looked at each other nervously.

"Why did you say we could stay?" Lucy demanded to know, looking angry. "You know she doesn't like us for some reason!"

"She's awful," Jack agreed, a panicked expression on his face. "She's going to shut the hotel for no reason!"

"She scares me," Mina murmured, nuzzling into Lucy's neck. "I don't like her."

It was only then that Mavis realized her husband was still standing by the front desk, looking quite grey and as if he'd gone into shock. "Uhh...we'll talk later," She decided, trying to think of a way to get her husband alone for a moment. "Why don't you guys find a zombie to take our stuff back to our rooms, and I'll meet you up there? Oh, and you two," She narrowed her eyes slightly at her two eldest. "We will be talking about not watching your sister later." Lucy and Jack sighed but nodded, already turning around and slowly walking back to where they'd left all of their bags.

Mavis walked up to Johnny, resisting the urge to sigh when she realized he was slumped over. "You know she won't do anything," She said quietly, stopping in front of him. "My dad won't let her...and besides, she was wrong about the whole human thing, so there's no reason to be upset over that."

Johnny just shrugged, looking quite put out. "Yeah, but...I'm a vampire. And, like, how does she know I used to be human?"

"Uhh...maybe because I'm the Count Dracula's daughter," Mavis stated as if it were obvious. "You know how the monster tabloids like to report about me...they can't get much on Dad, since he hardly leaves and he's too busy for interviews, so they try going for me." She put a hand in his, giving it a tight, comforting squeeze. "Come on, we've got to unpack again. It looks like we're going to be staying another few days."

The red-head brightened up at this. "So does this mean I can beat you in a chicken-fight?"

Mavis smirked as they started to walk, hand-in-hand. "Only in your dreams."


Over the next couple of days, however, it didn't get much better; everywhere he went, Johnny found himself being glared at in some way by Ava. He tried to ignore it, knowing that retaliation would only cause her to lash out and put the hotel out of business or something...and besides, he thought optimistically, if he was completely good then maybe she'd see that side of him and stop hating him so much.

To distract himself (and to, admittedly, appear as your average monster dad) he made sure to spend as much time with his kids as possible, playing or talking or just doing something so that he wasn't thinking too much about the hotel inspector and her views.

One morning changed everything for him, though, and he snapped.

"The sky's looking kind of bright," Mavis murmured, squinting up at the air. "I think we should get the kids inside, Johnny."

"Yeah, in a sec!" He called, and she looked to see what he was doing; Mina was on his shoulders, squealing loudly and holding a ball in her hands. "Okay, now throw it above Jack's head and to Lu!"

"This isn't fair!" Jack protested, glaring at his family half-heartedly. "When she's on your shoulders she's way too tall!"

Mina, in response, stuck her tongue out at her older brother.

"I'm missing a good book for this?" He grumbled to himself, folding his arms grumpily.

"I'm getting out soon anyway," Lucy said, stretching her arms out. "It's getting brighter - and besides, I'm too tired to do much...and I'm getting wrinkles."

"Kill joy," Mina muttered loudly and Johnny laughed, causing the eldest vampire child to scowl. It didn't last long though, since Mina threw the ball for her to catch and the red-haired vampiress ended up getting hit in the face. "You should have been looking!"

Jack looked up at the sky and yawned. "I think Lu has a point. The Sun's coming up, and I'm so not getting caught out here when it's fully risen."

Johnny lifted his daughter off his shoulder and set her on the edge of the pool. "We'll finish tomorrow night," He assured her, giving her a grin. "Go get your towel and go inside now, okay?"

Mina pouted but nodded, clearly not wanting to head off to bed yet. "Can I go to the kitchen and get some candy? I promise I'll brush my fangs extra-good if I can!"

"Uhh...oh, alright!" He chuckled, and she giggled in delight as she stood up to go and get said treat.

Mavis tutted jokingly from where she was lounging in a pool chair. "You spoil her, you know," She stated, shaking her head.

"Oh, like your dad didn't spoil you," Johnny retorted good-naturedly, hoisting himself out of the pool after his other two children. "And he spoils all of our kids too...not that I'm complaining much." He stood up and grabbed a towel from the back of a nearby chair, running it through his wet hair. "So, still worrying about that hotel lady?"

The other vampire sighed, nodding. "Yeah. I don't know...we always do so well, and I just...this hotel is one of my homes, and if it gets shut or anything..." She shook her head, trying to rid herself of all negative thoughts. "I always worry," She admitted sheepishly, standing up so that she could go indoors as well.

"Worrying does no good," The red-head reminded her cheerfully and following after her. "Anyway, I'm beat. I think I'm just gonna head to bed or something, 'cause I'm gonna collapse or something if I don't..."

"You better hope Lu doesn't try sneaking out again tonight," Mavis mused. "You'd think after getting caught every time she'd give up, but no."

Just before they could shut the pool door after them, a tiny figure wondered past them, humming to herself. "Mina?" Johnny asked, surprised. "Mina, I thought I told you to go inside."

Mina nodded. "I know, but I left my Martha-bat out here. I can't leave her out here in the Sun, Daddy, or she'll burn!"

"I didn't see her out here," Johnny said, frowning slightly. "Do you need help looking?" Mina nodded eagerly, already heading to look around the area.

"I'll leave you two to it," Mavis decided, yawning and continuing inside. "Remember, don't stay out too long!"

"I know!" Johnny called back, rolling his eyes slightly. "God, you'd think she'd know..." He started to look under some of the pool tables, looking for the toy his youngest daughter was overly fond of.

It was odd, as the red-head discovered moments later: there was no sign of the bat toy that belonged to Mina, but he could remember her bringing it with her down to the pool... She must have left it with Mavis or something when we went in the pool...

Mina seemed to have realized this too, and her bottom lip started to wobble. "We can't find her!" She sniffled, looking thoroughly terrified. "What if the Sun gets her and burns her?"

Johnny, at the mention of the Sun, looked up at the sky nervously; it was rising higher and higher, and it wouldn't be too long until it reached them. "Maybe one of the guests brought her inside," He suggested, trying to think of a way to get them both indoors without any injuries occurring. "Yeah, they might have left her at the desk or something."

The child sighed but nodded, allowing her father to pick her up and carry her inside. "I don't want her to get hurt," She murmured, quite upset. "And I can't sleep without her, Daddy."

"I know," He said soothingly, making sure to shut the door to the pool behind him. "We'll find her before bedtime. You know we've just checked the pool, and she's not there so she won't be out there when the Sun comes up, will she?" Mina shook her head slowly, and Johnny put her down on the floor. "How about you head to the kitchen to get some candy, and I'll head to the front desk so I can find Martha-bat? Sound good?"

Mina nodded, giving him a bright, thankful smile, and raced away so that she could get some candy. Great...now I just need to find the bat.

However, this wasn't nearly as easy as he had thought it to be; down at the front desk, the zombies had just shook their heads when he mentioned a bat toy - one of them had held up a shoe, as if asking this was what he wanted, but it appeared that no one had handed in the plush bat toy.

"Crap," He muttered to himself, trying to think where it could be. So it was definitely by the pool...maybe one of the guests had a kid with them, and the kid took it with them to their room...but I can't go through every single room, it's nearly daytime...I can't go back without the toy, though. Mina will be heartbroken without it.

Before he could ponder anymore on it, however, an ear-piercing shriek seemed to shake through the hotel...and he knew immediately who it was.

Panicking, he turned into his bat form and started clumsily flapping through the corridors to find where the screaming was coming from...every few seconds a sob would sound before another shriek, and it was painful for him to hear. It was only a minute or so later when he found himself flying into the room connected to the door to the pool, and there was a huge crowd gathered. He immediately spotted Mavis and morphed back before pushing through various monsters to get to her.

"What's going on?" He asked quickly, looking around. Lucy and Jack were both there too; Lucy was crying, looking absolutely terrified, and even Jack looked quite scared as to what was happening. "Where's Mina?"

"S-She's outside," Mavis stuttered, trying to edge closer to the door: a ray of light stopped her, and she let out a yell of despair. "WE HAVE TO GO OUT THERE AND GET HER!"

"I'll go!" They heard a voice above them say, and they realized Frank had been standing nearby; the tall flesh-golem started to push through the crowd of monster hurriedly. "ALRIGHT! EVERYONE MOVE!"

There was no hesitance - all of the guests stopped talking and parted to let Frank push through to the door. Johnny pulled his family further away from the door forcefully, not wanting them to get hurt too. As their friend went outside and shut the door behind him, the red-head couldn't help but get visions of how his father-in-law had looked all those years ago after going out in the Sun...if that had happened to a tough older vampire, what would it have done to a tiny child?

It was one painfully slow minute before the door opened again and Frank came back in; he was carrying something carefully in his arms, as if shielding it, and he kicked the door shut before turning to find Johnny and Mavis. "I've got her," He said quickly, and he stretched out his arms for them to take her.

Mavis was the one who took Mina into her arms, and she started to cry out of both relief and shock; the vampire child was covered in red marks and burns, her clothes having singed holes in them, and she was sobbing at the pain. "It hurts, Mommy!" She cried tearfully, clinging to Mavis tightly. "M-M-Make it stop!"

Frank looked around at the other guests. "Come on, give them some room!"

"Thank Goodness you're okay," Lucy breathed, wiping her eyes, and even their brother looked quite shaken by the experience.

"What on Earth were you doing out in the Sun?" Mavis questioned, clutching Mina to her chest. She didn't wait for an answer though; she turned to face her husband, annoyed at him. "You were meant to stay with her!"

"I did!" Johnny argued, feeling that this was rather unfair. "I told her to come inside, and she did...she must have gone back outside or something!"

Mina lifted her head - the burn marks, luckily, were starting to heal and fade on her skin. "I saw Martha-bat," She mumbled, sniffling lightly. "S-She was on the floor, with some candy...a-a-and..."

This didn't make much sense to any of her family members, but they decided silently that she was probably just delirious from her experience. The crowd of monsters parted, and Count Dracula came rushing to see what was going on: his eyes widened as he took in the situation.

"Let me hold her," He cooed, and he hurriedly pulled Mina into his arms. "Oh, you poor little bat...you'll be okay, baby, you will..." He looked around at all the guests, knowing they were probably waiting to see if he blamed anyone or something. "I don't care how she got hurt - as long as she is no longer in pain, then it...it will be fine."

"But it's not," Another voice said, and everyone turned: this time, it was a stern, brunette vampiress, who looked quite disgusted as she eyed up Johnny. "You see now, everyone? Humans are incapable of even the simplest tasks, such as looking after the young-"

And that was it - Johnny had had enough.

"Shut up!" He interrupted, glaring at Ava. The other vampire froze in shock, not used to being treated in such a manner. "First thing: I'm. Not. A. Human. You see these?" He opened his mouth wide and pointed to his fangs. "Yeah! I'm a vampire now!"

"But you used to be a human," Ava reiterated coolly. "And your hatred still hasn't-"

"What hatred?!" Johnny snapped in a rather uncharacteristic way. "I'm a vampire now! I'm married to another vampire and our kids are all vamps too! My friends are all monsters!" He threw his hands into the air out of defeat. "I never hated anyone at this hotel, not even when that weird guy tried to eat me, and I totally never thought I would...but then you walked in and just changed that!"

Several monsters, including his family, gasped, shocked by his admission. Ava glared at him, eyes hard and cold with hatred. "And yet," She said coldly, sending chills up his spine. "It's not my youngest child who is burnt all over."

This time, it was Lucy who spoke up and stepped in. "Mina's healing quickly," She pointed out, trying not to show any bias towards her father's side of the argument. "She's going to be perfectly fine - a little weak and shaken, perhaps, but otherwise fine."

Everyone turned to look at Mina; true to Lucy's word, she was perfectly pale again now, and had even started to fiddle with the neck of Dracula's cape happily.

"I think it has been a long night," Dracula said slowly, knowing that only his word would put a complete stop to the confrontation going on. "I think we should all return back to our hotel rooms and rest until the night."

There were a few grumbles, some monsters clearly wanting to hear more about what had happened, but everyone started to slowly leave the room to get some sleep; it truly had been a long night.

Johnny turned to look at Mavis, scratching the back of his neck. "Look, I brought her inside," He insisted desperately. "I sent her to the kitchen to get some candy while I looked for her bat, and she must have gone back to look again."

"You shouldn't have sent her to the kitchen on her own," Mavis retorted, clearly not ready to completely forgive him yet. "She's only thirty one, Johnny - of course she would wonder off! And it's a big hotel too - she could have gotten lost!"

"No," The red-head disagreed, snorting slightly at the idea. "She knows this place like the back of her hand, Mavis, just as well as you do."

"That's no excuse!" She snapped, turning away from him swiftly and towards their children and Dracula. "We need to get some rest - Dad, can you bring Mina upstairs for me?"

Dracula nodded wordlessly, knowing his daughter was not in a good place at that moment.

She sighed, looking down at the floor. "Lu, Jack, can you guys go to your rooms? I'll be up in a minute."

"Sure thing, Mom," Jack agreed quickly, turning into bat form and flying away quickly.

Lucy looked at her mother for a moment, wondering is she should say something to comfort her - when nothing came to mind, she just nodded and morphed into her mist form before floating away.

"I'll just...bring Mina upstairs," Dracula decided quietly. "Will you be alright, Mavy?"

Mavis nodded, not looking at him.

The older vampire looked between his daughter and son-in-law; he, too, had no words in that moment. "Come on, baby bat," He murmured to his granddaughter as he walked out of the room and left the two alone. "I'll tell you about your Grandmother."

"What about my bat?" Mina asked tiredly.

Dracula paused, thinking for a moment. "Ehh...I shall get one of the zombies to get it."

Johnny looked at his wife as they left, sighing heavily. "It's not my fault," He stated quietly. "I told you, she...she must have gone outside again and not realized about the Sun." He stopped, an idea occurring to him. "You don't think...that I did that on purpose, do you?"

Mavis looked down at the floor, shaking her head. "No. Not really."

Well, that's kind of a relief. "I'm sorry," He apologized sadly, scuffing his shoes against the carpet guiltily. "For letting her go around alone...and for snapping at that crazy lady. Maybe she won't do anything bad to the hotel, you know, to punish us."

His wife shrugged, clearly at a loss for words. "She hates us, for some reason. That's why she wanted us to stay, and I should have known...but she's just..."

"Too scary to say 'no' to," Johnny finished, nodding in agreement.

Mavis leaned against a wall, folding her arms across her chest protectively. "We might lose our home," She sighed, trying to hold back tears. "None of the monsters will have a safe place to go to every year if we're shut down; my dad will lose his job and home. And the kids...they won't have this castle to come back to, to have when they're older."

"It'll still be here," The red-head said defiantly, moving forwards to put his arms around her. Her anger melted away, all bad thoughts forgotten; she tightly hugged him back, a few tears rolling down her face as she burrowed into him. "Whatever it takes, we'll make sure that crazy lady doesn't shut down the hotel. She can't shut us down for this - I mean, what's she gonna put?"

"That you argued with her," Mavis replied, voice muffled by his chest. "And that because you're a human then you're dangerous or something."

"Well, she's gonna look real stupid," He muttered darkly. "'cause the monsters reading the report will investigate it or whatever and see that I'm a vampire."

It was all so unfair. It was unfair that Johnny was still referred to as 'that human' when he wasn't a human anymore, and when it was an insult. It was unfair that their hotel might be shut down because of false claims of the hotel being dangerous, and that all of Dracula's hard work might go to waste.

It was unfair that Johnny was being blamed for an unfortunate accident that wasn't his fault - that the person who was casting the blame was actually the person who had caused the accident.

Dun Dun Dun! Yeah, I know, dramatic and angsty.

But on a positive note, I REALLY enjoyed writing the kids - especially Mina :) And, in case you're wondering, "Martha-bat" was given to Mina by Count Dracula - it was named after his deceased love because the bat would watch over Mina through the day while she slept, kind of like how he'd imagine his wife to watch over her. And, yes, Mina is kind of a Daddy's/Grandpa's girl. And, yes, Jack is a bookworm. So sue me.

I was thinking of making this into a longer fleshed-out story...but I don't know. I kind of have ideas for other monster characters, like friends for the kids and stuff, but...

If you're wondering exactly how Mina's accident happened, here it is: Mina was heading to the kitchen when someone called her name and caught her attention. When she turned, there was a trail of candy. Now, because all baby vamps love candy, she followed the trail of candy and it lead out to the poolside again - the doors were opened, and she saw her Martha-bat suddenly sitting on one of the pool tables. She didn't realize the Sun was up, and so ran forwards to grab it and...well, yeah.

As to how Ava fits in with all this: my theory is that she stole the Martha-bat, planted the trail of candy and did all of it on purpose because then she could make it look like Johnny's fault because she REALLY has an old-fashioned attitude towards him.

ANYWAY: hope you're enjoying the story guys!
