When the chance came to meet Dracula's side of the family after insistence came from Dracula's older sister and Mavis's aunt. Become instant disapproval toward Hazelcape and Jonathan when they came face to face. Time wasn't even given when those light blue eyes looked upon the half- Dullahan / half- witch. Disgust came when baby in her arms reached toward a tall, slender female vampire with pale white skin. She completely ignored Dracula's greeting or how he tried to present his new bride and son- in- law. Not like she even attempted to look toward Dennis and Jonathon beside Ingerman's tentacle creature. Going onto give introduce herself as Lydia Dracula with a lazily wave of her hand when zombie bellhops attended to her bags.
"My trip was long and being around humans has left me tiresome." She wanted to be taken to her room. "I need rest before anything else."
Breandán and Ingerman guides the zombie bellhops and their special guest to her room, One located on the family floor that most of Dracula's family occupied in individual rooms of their own. One that was connected since Dennis, Mavis, and Jonathan share as their own space. Single one that was a nursery set up by Dracula for Theodorus while his room was redecorated for two. A family room was open to all of them at the end of the hall with sitting space and large screen. More empty rooms would be given to this Lydia for the rest of her stay here and rest Dracula's family. That currently would have stack of bags placed were formed by the zombie bellhops just dropping the bags.
Breandán started up a conversation about his and his family were being treated liek the odd men out by Dracula's older sister. Pointing out how this women never attended any of Dracula family's celebrations over past years. She never showed up for Jonathon's and Mavis' wedding or around time their son's first birthday. A handful of other moments where the lot of them gathered to celebrate were never witnessed by her. Told Ingerman this women most not agree that Mavis and Jonathan didn't belong together.
"We're done." Ingerman wanted to get away from here.
"Anywhere away from here." Breandán was done with this Lydia.
Two escaped through use of shadow tunnels formed by Breandán formed from his own shadow being the opening for them to jump into at one at a time. Popping out of the exit just when, Mavis was about to hand her son off to Heather for him to be taken to his school. Jonathon went to smother his son and ask to come along. Become granted by Heather and Jarlath since both had come to like having him around. Brought tears to Hazelcape's eyes before she retreated into the dinning area/ kitchen. Trying to wipe away her tears with each step she took when she stopped at a vintage radio. Made her smile when reaching for one of the dials and remembering Dracula setting this up for her. His way of having something to fill the quiet void during the day time when she was working.
"You make me feel so lucky." She whispered as her fingers turn the dial.
Click and the way the radio came to life with a light buzz before a song came on with her humming along. Slowly swaying her body to the beats of the music before bumping into familiar embrace. One that came from warmth of a blacken cape with a purple lining and drew her her closer. Allowing her to turn away and look upward to set of eyes filled with a hidden delight for her. Their eyes of his sparkling blue connecting with her charcoal Grey ones in those passing seconds. Had her slowly sliding her finger tips over the tops of his buttoned jacket. Taking in the outline of his lapels until her hands ended up resting behind the base of his jacket's collar. She smooth out before she felt his own hands ghost over her sides before laying on the small of her back.
"You do know how much you mean to me." He quietly whispered.
"Ditto." She started to hum back.
"Shall we?" He heard the lyrics of song start.
[Verse 1: Dracula, Hazelcape]
Step into my world
Bittersweet love story about a girl
Shook me to the core
Voice like an angel, I've never heard before
Here in front of me
Shining so much brighter than I have ever seen
Life can be so mean
But when he goes, I know he doesn't leave
[Pre-Chorus 1: Dracula & Hazelcape]
The truth is finally breaking through
Two worlds collide when I'm with you
Our voices rise and soar so high
We come to life when we're
Standing only about 1 to 2 ft (0.30 to 0.61 m) away from her without breaking eye contact even once. Being careful in placing his right hand on her left shoulder blade since he'd come to rest his right hand lightly on her left shoulder blade, which allowed him to guide her gently without being too forceful. Wrapping his cloak back around her form with his left hand around as he tucked his elbow beneath her armpit. She seemed to have moving in tune with his lead as her feet moved along with his as they began continued singing.
[Chorus: Dracula & Hazelcape]
In perfect harmony
Woah, woah
Perfect harmony
Woah, woah
Perfect harmony
[Verse 2: Dracula,Hazelcape, Dracula & Hazelcape]
You set me free
You and me together is more than chemistry
Love me as I am
I'll hold your music here inside my hands
He draped his arm and hand on her shoulder , Placing his arm on top of her, leaving his hand on her shoulder. Lightly gripping her shoulder so she can stay balanced, but tried to not raise up on her toes to lift her feet to land softly on the ball of her foot. Allowing her to keep her arms wrapped around his neck with his hands in their new position on her.
"This brings back memories." Dracula jointly spins them in place.
"First time we both discovered our dancing skill." She wiggled her eyes brows at him.
"You little m minx." He smirked at her.
[Pre-Chorus 2: Dracula & Hazelcape]
We say we're friends, we play pretend
You're more to me, we're everything
Our voices rise and soar so high
We come to life when we're
[Chorus: Dracula & Hazelcape]
In perfect harmony
Woah, woah
Perfect harmony
Woah, woah
Perfect harmony
They began moving about 6 to 12 inches (15 to 30 cm) to the left, bringing their right feet over. Repeating this step by stepping to the left with their left foot again and moving their right foot over once more. Going slower and slower with each movement gone over again just lost in the moment.
"I hope my sister's visits don't put you off." Dracula shares his concern.
"Give her time." She wasn't bothered.
"Then she'll have it." His smiled returned.
As They did before, shift they shifted their right feet about 6 to 12 in (15 to 30 cm) to the right, they brought their left feet over. Stepping to the right 1 more time, then bringing their feet together. Continue stepping to the right and left to complete a basic slow dance. Al most as if they were going in complete reserve or tracing their foot prints left behind. Making sure to not step on each others feet when they moved around in a small circle.
[Bridge: Dracula, Hazelcape, Dracula & Hazelcape]
I feel your rhythm in my heart, yeah
You are my brightest, burning star, whoa-whoa
I never knew a love so real (So real)
We're heaven on earth, melody and words
When we are together we're
[Chorus: Dracula & Hazelcape]
In perfect harmony
Woah, woah
Perfect harmony
Woah, woah
[Outro: Dracula, Hazelcape, Dracula & Hazelcape]
We say we're friends
We play pretend
You're more to me
We create a perfect harmony
Angle of their feet while stayed in a circular pattern slowly started to end for them. Puffs of his green mist slowly encompassing their forms until they were surrounded them. Not a sliver of actual room the was room was seen through thickening mist. Moan was drawn fourth from her lips when she felt his hands knead her skin. Gracefully rubbing the knots of out of her muscles with his tips of his fingers. Her head coming to rest right over where his heart slowly beats. That way gave his advantage to delicately speak to her with a song still in his voice. One that slowly brought her smile and noticing where he transported them when his mist slowly faded away from them. Chill of the room put goosebumps on her skin and spacious area with his raised coffin in the center of the floor. Steams of sunlight that barely got passed the curtains mixing with the shadows of the room. Stirred awake dormant embers of eros laying deep within them with each touch.
"This is got to go for what you have in mind." One of her hands glide over the knotted ties of his cape.
"Granted." He waved around his finger without letting her to telekinetically unfasten his cape.
Which whirled around around them before going to hang it self on hook right outside the hidden door of his closet. Allowed her to bring one of her fingers along a path of his broad-brimmed shoulders fastening of his his tie. She'd loosen in a few tugs slowly backing out of the secure hold of his arms around her. Taking tie off his neck with onyx jewel by her as she made her way to his coffin.
"What are doing, my minx?" He asked following her.
"Came and find out." She purred.
He lowly growled back at her when he brought his fingers to undo the buttons of his jacket and vest. Left him to completely undid telekinetically and discarded from his person be sent away. He watched as she removed and tossed away her sweater and his tie with a tentacle made of shadow. Allowed him to look upon her heaving chest that soon would be pressed up opposed to his clothed chest. Having him notice she had stopped stepping backwards from him and stayed in place. Allowing to reach out once more, one hand to barely brush one outline of her chin to her cheek. Other reached to the zipper that laid to the side of her dress and take hold and pull the tab. Down it went until fabric become loose enough for straps to be swept off her shoulders. As her hands reach toward the buttons of her shirt and agilely start undoing each one with ease. Revealing a blacken undershirt as her fingers stopped at the fastening of his tailored slacks.
"How are we going to remove these obsticals?" The two asked one another.
Smirk that form across Dracula's face he watched her draw her hands away from him to pull at the loosen straps of her dress. Which moved down ward until the rest of the dress followed down her body at hurried pace. Until dress slipped off her body and pool at her their feet until she semi- nude form was disclosed. Strapless brassiere and Short underpants that barely covered her now prickling skin. Made her feel silly since Dracula still stood before her with most of his clothes still on him. This started to created a insecurity in her that he clearly saw when reached his coffin. Confidence she carried to continued on was easily slipping away from her. Had her sluggishly about to move her arms to cover her form as her cheek become color of a rose.
Came to a stop when he get ahead by stepping closer to her with his arms once more wrapping around her waist. Drawing her back to him to place a kiss upon her forehead before picking her up. Sound of his coffin's lid being slid open distracted her enough for him to place her on the ledge. Making sure she stayed in a anchored sitting position to watch him remove his shirt and undo fasteners of his tailored slacks. He allowed to fall around soles of his sharp dress shoes and sock garter clad ankles. Hazelcape bit into her lower lip to stop a laugh from slipping out at the sight of his black silken boxers shorts.
"Now we're even." Dracula toed off his shoes. "What's with the laughing?"
"Nothing." She nodded her head at him.
He ended up sweeping her into the soft surface of cushion that linen bottom of his coffin until she lay under him. This lips at odds with another when he smashed them together in a breath taking action to silence her. Easing the strain she put in her bottom lip when she almost broken skin with her own teeth. She accepted when allowing his arms re-wrap around her form and held her in place to look up at him.
"Your a tease." He pulled away from her.
"You know you like it." She winked.
No more talk was exchanged between them when muffled moans and grasps filled the air. His undershirt, her strapless brassiere followed by his boxers and her Short underpants with his socks and their garters. Creaking of his coffin from the rocking of their bodies against each other was loud enough to wake the dead.

Times when Mike and Linda came to visit and spoil Dennis were special times for him before bedtime. Vlad always went the extra mile in telling Dennis how being vampire was like back in olden times. Dracula wasn't micro managing the Hotel's every little detail with aid from his daughter and his son- in- law. Mostly taken up by volunteering to care for his grandson whenever Mavis wanted a break, or Jonathan wanted date night. Didn't mean all of Dennis ' time was taken up since Heather and Jarlath baby sat by during the daylight hours. Not that their need for sleep was any different then the rest of Dennis' family. They were just a little more activate during the day light due to their lifestyle among humans. Gave Dennis a chance to learn a few things from one of them could help in his everyday life with them.
"Why does my grand aunt not like my new grandma?" Dennis asked Heather once.
"Don't take her dislike personal." Heather told him. "She never liked me and Jarlath "
"Your guys are so cool like Papa Drac." Dennis held up one of her potion bottles.
"True." Heather took the bottle from him.
She then popped the cork and this large cloud arose from the inside of the to form a swirling cloud between the two of them. Heather gently blow on to spread across the surface of leather chairs that had been ripped apart by Wayne's 300 sons. Each slash mark that or stain from them marking the fabric as their own took away from the chairs appeal. Would have gotten the set thrown out by the zombifed staff when fellow hotel guests couldn't take the appearance any longer. Left her to have the chairs brought to the cottage for repair.
"Can you teach me to do that?" Dennis asked watching the potion cloud puff repair the chairs.
"Why would I need to when your already turn into a cute little bat." She corked the bottle.
"I am not cute." He huffed.
Heather kissed a side of his perked out cheek before putting her newly corked bottle back on the shelf with her others. Making her way toward a Cake stand that held her freshly made Scream Cheese New York style cake with soured strawberries. Asking Dennis about wanting something to snack on with a glass of chocolate Chimera milk to drink. He happily insisted since he loved to watched shape of screaming mouth forms and disappear throughout the cake's surface. When a slice of the cake was placed before him on a chipped plate with for presented to him. He would come to thank Heather before began to dig in with Jarlath telling him to slow down. Which Dennis did when he watched Jarlath close the door behind him after letting Heather's skeleton dogs in.
"Here you go." Jarlath placed a amber stone before Dennis.
"Cool." He safe the preserved insect inside.
Heather would go on to tell Dennis he should present the stone to his friends or school mates when he got the chance. Allowing him to ask when Miss. Lydia wanted to be privately walked through the woods. Pointing out she wasn't going to get the human free natural walk that she wanted at this time of the year. Got him a shrug from Heather since she had to put together a few of her more premade potions.
"Can you tell me why does my grand aunt not like my new grandma?" Dennis repeated his question to Jarlath.
What he got was a heavy sigh followed by an answer about how some monsters and humans share the same flaws. One he would discuss rather later as he took a seat beside Dennis to ask about Scream Cheese cake.
