I stood impatiently at one of Romania airports waiting by baggage claim for my belongings. My plane was delayed for two hours since Brazil was having an awful rain storm. I huff softly as I checked my iPhone 6 plus for the time.
'I am an hour late!' I thought to myself as I let out an audible sigh. My green eyes quickly shifted around in search of my luggage. Nothing. I pushed my large circle thin frame black glass back to the bridge of my nose as I tap my foot on the tile floor anxiously. Soon my eyes spot both of my purple luggage coming around from the carousel of bags. I zip over and grab my stuff and went to find a nearby exit. Finally, outside the airport, I walk over to the curb of the sidewalk and hailed a taxi cab. After a few fail attempts, I finally got one. The taxi driver got out of the cab and helps me put my two large luggage in the trunk and held the door car door open for me.
"Thank you." I said to the man as I settle in the back seat of the taxi. The driver got in and buckled himself in.
"Where too little lady?" he asked as he readies his GPS. I smile widely as looked at the elder man.
"Hotel Transylvania" I state while I buckled myself in. He grins as he gave me a simple nod and pulls out to the streets. I sigh in relief as I lean against the leather seat, being able to relax. I looked out the window gazing at the orange and pink sky. The sun is going down and I am a good hour away from the hotel. I dig into my back pocket and pulled out my smartphone and texted my best friend telling him I'm going to be late. After sending the text, I plugged in my earbuds and play "Cheap thrills" by Sia. I closed my eyes as I began to drift off to the sound of the music.
…..
"Ma'am? Ma'am?" I heard a faint voice call out. I slowly sat up and yawn as I carefully rub my eyes. That has to be one of the greatest naps I've ever had! I stretched the sleepiness away and look at the driver who was calling my attention with a drowsy smile.
"Yes?" I ask softly before yelling again. The old man chuckles as he points out the car window with his thumb.
"We are here." And in that instant, I was fully awake. I turn to look out my window and saw the majestic castle with monsters and humans entering.
"This place looks so much better than the photos." I whispered to myself. I smile excitedly as I got out the cab, open the trunk, grab my bags and paid my driver and rush up the small flight of stairs. Oh, my goodness this place looks spectacular! I hurriedly push through the revolving door and into the lobby.
"Whoa!" I gasp as I stood in the entrance of the large lobby. My eyes twinkled under fluorescent lights with excitement. The inside was just as incredible as to be expected! The ceiling is incredibly high with gold and red the drapes and carpets. The walls are made of old stones with murals painting hung up. The inside was crowded with monsters and humans mingling together. I squeak to myself as I look around the castle and admire the architecture, taking in every detail. As I wonder further inside the building I slip on a trail of green slime, I stumble back causing me to trip over my one of my luggage and fell on the floor.
"AH!" I cried as my head slams against the cement floor. Damn it. I laid still on the floor groaning in pain as I felt my body starting to get sore. I slowly sat up on the floor and rub the back of my head. Thank goodness for my puffy curly hair for breaking my fall. That could have been bad. When I open my eyes everything is completely blurry. Colors were mixing together, figures were oddly shaped blurs and, lights look like balls of blobs.
"My glasses!" I yelp as touch my face. I squint my eyes as I look down at the floor while using my hands to search around for my glasses. I squint hard trying to get a bit of clarity, but it was no use. As I searched I felt a sudden surge of pain ran through my hand as I saw a blurry foot stepping on it.
"OW!" I screeched as I yank my hand from under the shoe. I held my wounded hand protectively as I shot the person or monster a glare.
"Watch it!" I bark as I look up at a distorted figure.
-Third person POV-
A young woman in her late twenties enters the hotel with wonder in her vibrant green eyes behind her large circle glasses. She stood at 5'4", with a pear shape body, cocoa brown skin with a few freckles that decorated her heart shape face. She has plush lips that were covered in sticky red gloss. Her thick long dark brown hair is in natural curls and that went down passed her breast. The short woman wore a maroon summer dress that went slightly above the knees and wore black flats. She was so excited to be here at the hotel! Her best friend, his wife and his son would tell her so much about this magical palace! And standing here at the very moment felt so surreal to her!
While she is busy studying her surroundings she didn't see the trail of green slime that Blobby left behind. The woman slips on the slime and trips back over her own luggage sending her glasses flying off her face as she collided with the ground. With a painful groan, she sat up and opens her large eyes. Instantly she began to panic as she searches for her eye-wear before someone or thing crashes them. While the woman searched for her glasses. Meanwhile, a tall slender vampire who was greeting his guest was completely engaged with socializing he didn't notice the human woman searching for her glasses.
"OW!" he heard a loud yelp. His blue eyes widen as he looks down to meet glaring green eyes framed by long thick black lashes.
"Watch it!" she barked angrily at him as she removed her hand from under his shoe. The cocoa skinned woman felt her eyes sting as she looked up at the figure. She rubs her eyes carefully not wanting to smudge her mascara and eyeliner. Dracula too felt a sudden sting in his eyes, but quickly as it came it went. The vampire blinks curiously as he looks down and notices a pair of glasses lying by his foot.
"I'm sorry, miss. I didn't see you there." he kindly said to her as he helped her stand. The monster picks up her belonging and hands her glasses with an apologetic smile. The curly headed woman dusts off her dress and took her glasses back from his grasp and placing it back on her nose. Her green eyes widen when she saw a very tall man with board shoulders and a slender form before her. His skin is blemish free and very pale. His black hair is slick back and his eyes are a piercing blue. She felt her heart squeeze at the sight of him. oh Dios mío, he is very attractive. The short woman clears her throat nervously as she tucks a strand of hair behind her left ear.
"Oh, um, i-it is not entirely your fault. I've should have been aware of my surrounding as well." She says nervously avoiding eye contact with the handsome gentlemen. Drac gave a small smile as he picks up both of her luggage
"Well, while I'm here let me help you get settle in. Welcome to Hotel Transylvania. I am Count Dracula the founder and manager. May I ask who you are?" He asks kindly as they made their way to the front desk. Before she could responded the colored woman heard a loud animated voice shout her name.
"ALICE!" The woman turns around and before she knew she was scooped up and being spun violently around.
"OH, GOSH I WAS SO WORRIED! YOU DIDN'T ANSWER MY TEXTS OR CALLS!" The voice spoke frantically. Alice giggles as she hugs her best friend back.
"I'm fine Johnny, I just met Dracula" She informs him as he slowly stops his violent spinning and placed her back on the ground. Alice held onto Johnny's shoulder for support since the room is still spinning.
"Awesome, so you both are acquainted now!" Alice lets go of Johnny as she fixes her glasses and looks at Dracula who seems very confused.
"Ehh, Jonathan what is going on? You two know each other?" the vampire asks as he slowly made his way up to them. Johnny looks at his best friend confused.
"I thought you guys met?" he asks while tilting his head. Alice rolls her green eyes and crosses her arms.
"Well, we were in the middle of exchanging names till you came and scooped me away." She said matter-of-factly. Johnny shrugs and looks at his father-in-law with a large smile and wraps his arms around Alice's shoulders.
"Drac, I want you to meet my best friend, Alice Grace. She will be working here as my co-manager and nanny." he introduced her. Alice waves as she gave a small smile of her own. This took the vampire completely off guard as he eyes the two humans before him. New Co-manager? New Nanny?
