Through the entrance of the hotel a usual monster would arrived when most of the staff had turned in for the day. Her luggage was being moved around on its through this tentacle clusters that no body could make out. Johnathon thought they were cool and asked what type of monster they were when he tried to openly touch one of sucked cups. To only have his hand slapped away by one of these tentacles carrying heavy trunks one after another into the lobby. While he was told by the person leading the tentacles, they don't like being touched nor are specific type of monster.

"You can say I created them." She stated petting one of the tentacles. "Come in handy for simplest tasks."

Hearing they were created excited Johnathon to the point he wasted to know what went into creating a monster. How careful one must be when handling the discarded part to a body torso while preserving the corpse. Which she stopped when he started to ask in detail when she used to bring lifeless body to life. Stating unlike the famous Dr. Frankenstein, her methods were little more mystical the use of thunder storm. She wasn't here to play teacher in monster creation since she came here to have simple vacation. Wanting to know where she would be staying during her stay here so she could start relaxing. Started her process to check her in from signing the guest registry book to being handed her room key.

"A zombie will show you to your room and enjoy your stay." Mavis saw her off.

The woman gave the young vampire shivers when her gloves hand took the key and she thanked her with a half smile. Woman's hand were clammy and lacked any kind of warmth despite being covered in gloves. Which had Mavis pulling away from woman's hand while she watched her walk away from her.

"Hope to see you two later on this evening." The woman's last words to her. "I might be in the mood to share my findings with you john."

Mavis would end up turning her attention toward ever smiling Johnathon when the woman made the remark to him. Left the young vampire to remind her husband where his attention should be turned as other female walked off. Something that left Johnathon to explain to meet someone that creates monsters. Coming to stay within the walls of the hotel while she rests a mind filled with knowledge on monster creation.

"Tell me that isn't like the most amazing thing you ever heard?" Johnathon asked Mavis.

"No, because Uncle Frankenstein and Aunt Eunice told me how they were created." Mavis was a bit impressed.

"Still cool." Johnathon couldn't wait.

This furthered Mavis to the point that it was carried over to joint breakfast with her family upon Dracula waking up. Hazelcape was the ended up cooking for them all as part of being approved to be hotel's new head chef. Which earned Dennis' and Johnathon's approval when the first bit her Belgian Waffles topped with Scream Cream Cheese. Mavis just gave a thumbs up when she took in mouth of Blood Pudding. Vlad insisted she be hired on the spot when he couldn't get enough of her bloody sausage and vulture egg sunny side up. Dracula didn't care either way, he had already sampled Hazelcape's food and wanted his family to approve. Which made the delivery of news about her zinging a little easier. Dennis was happy to have a second grandma that can remove her head as Mavis and Johnathon congratulated Dracula. Vlad didn't' care as long as he could eat the food he was chewing for as long as he got on this Earth.

"I told you they wouldn't disapprove." Hazelcape refills Dracula's glass. "Now enjoy your meal since today is going to be a busy day."

She ended up being careful with the pitcher of blood substitute when she sided kissed Dracula before everyone. Johnathon ended up cheering his mouth full of food a she pumped his arms in the air repeatedly not caring about scene he made. Left Hazelcape to leave them all alone to feed to Tickles and Halcyon from freshly butchered beef her father had delivered. Filling their bowls before tucking the slab back into her shadowy mass that made up her small shadow. Noticing a zombie on their break was showing freshly balled melon balls into sockets where his eyes would be.

"I may have what your looking for." She offered to help.

She ended up pulling a jar of eyeballs that were kept for Eyeball Jelly on burnt toast for monster related guests during breakfast. Which she would open and pulled out human- sized eyeballs with a pair of gloves on her hands whole time. Making sure the jar was put away before she ended up placing the new eyes with the zombie's sockets in careful matter. Pulling the gloves off as the zombie adjusted to what would his new eyes with a toothy grin on his face. Earned her thumb up from him, if he thumb hadn't fallen off that he slowly lifted his finger to match the joy hie felt. Which Hazelcape would pick up and super glue back on the stump where the thumb used to be for a more secure hold.

"Better?" She asked pulled away from the repaired hand.

When zombie flexed his thumb without the appendage falling off and would make a happy grunt for her. Had the zombie on his way to show off the thumb repair she had done with a grin that would creep most out. Had her checking out a marinade she had aged in the back of dry goods storage area of hotel's kitchen. Tucked away in some corer with a wax paper seal tied tightly around the top to keep the flavor in. She had to take a kneeling position to check for cracks that would to a leak or her seal being broken. Not knowing she would back into a pair of polished dress shoes and tailored trousers made from blackest material. Up she would look to make eye contact with the reddest of eyes of puzzled expression.

"May I ask why your in here?" Dracula asked her curious why she was on floor dry goods storage area.

"I was checking to see, if we had any blood oranges for freshly squeezed orange juice?" She asked him back.

Up went one one of his eye brows at the innocent sight of her sitting with her legs fold together to left of her and wrinkled apron. Her hands were placed on her lap with one hand under the other as she looked up at him with a blank expression. Position not to far away from where the shelves of fruit and vegetables were stored and baked goods.

"I came here wanting to know, if your would join us?" He would come to ask with a out reached hand.

"Can't." She took his hand. "My dad wants me back as soon as possible."

On two her feet she would go with a tug from Dracula when she took hold of his offered hand with one hand. As the other would start untying the knot of her apron from around her waist as she moved around.

"... be available later..." She stated drapes her apron over one of her arms. "If you want to see me again?"

"Always." Dracula wouldn't let go of her hand.

She leaned in ever so to place a kiss beside his lips which made the his goofy smile return as his grip on her hand loosen. She could pull away telling him how cute he looked when he smiled like that as he answered in mumbles to her.

Dracula started to grow worried when he didn't see Hazelcape around the hotel when the sun set and monsters came out. He had asked Jonathan for advice on romantic advice on where to take modern girl for a date. Only get a list of subjects he needed a second opinion on since Hazelcape came off as a old fashion monster. Fact she was still preferred the use of a phonograph and records over stereos and CDs had told Dracula something. Only person in her family he could find was her younger brother hanging coming back with a tour group. Swallowing his pride and approaching the young monster for advice on further romancing his sister was number one on his mind. Which he would do as he tried to recall the name of Hazelcape's brother from their limited interactions.

"First, Gross! She's my sister!" Breandán reacted negativity to Dracula's request. "Second, Why should I help you?"

"Your haven't figured that one out." Dracula wanted to scold the boy. "Me and Her. Zinged. I would like to properly romance her. That's why I am asking you."

"Give me a minute to get the image of you and her..in that way...out of my head." He needed a moment.

Dracula would have gone on about how lovely and charming girl Breandán's sister was since first time they met. How her cooking had a home cooked taste with cultured touch that got his whole family approval. His friends were all on board for his second chance at love with such a delightful girl from a friend's first marriage.

"Can we you please stop?" Breandán wanted asked in a disgusted matter. "She's my sister."

"Also the woman I hope to spend rest of my eternal life with." Dracula happily sighed.

"Come on!" Breandán shouted out of how uncomfortable he was getting.

Dracula had to wait a whole hour to get the needed answers he was seeking from the younger sibling of his new love. Who ended up clarifying what he wanted to know for when he actually got to see her again. From being told how she started visiting Dark Forest Municipal Park and Bike Trail for strolls in the dark. Gazing at the light of moon on a blanket woven from sheered wool of a Weresheep in the company of someone. Listening to classic music on a vintage phonograph on a original record while reading a book before a lit fireplace. Sitting in the front row of a Harry Three-Eye's magic show while enjoying the old world magic tricks. Were just one of the things that Breandán's sister had come to enjoy which he could never understand about her.

"Happy now?" Breandán asked trying to not be grossed out.

"You should be happy for your sister." Dracula bluntly answered.

"When ever your get around to creating another child with her." Breandán stated without gagging. "Then I'll call your uncle."

Breandán ended up stepping into his own shadow and disappearing from the vampire's sight with shiver taking him over. Not knowing that hotel's security system went into high alert after a few incidents through the night. Bits of the monsters were taken during the night when they slept through out the day time. A strand or two of hair and fur from a top of a head or removed from a back in form of patches. Whole piece of bone was taken from one of the skeleton couples while a werewolves' pups their toe nails clipped. Invisible man and woman had pieces of their skin scratched off all the way to the their muscle tissue. While everyone else had a small something taken form them from a pint of blood to a tissue splice. Didn't worry Dracula since the hotel's on- site doctor in the form of gill-man named Dr. Gillman ended up handling everything.

Was when he was told that Hazelcape had been found by her father collapsed in one of the doorways of the hotel in a unconscious state. He took her straight to Heather and found out someone had forcefully extracted large portion of her shadowy essences. Heather could do what she could get her step- daughter's basic body to function on a normal human level to wake her up, and allow her to move. Restoring her lost power was something Heather couldn't do unless she specialized in field of healing magic. Had Hazelcape cry into her father's arms when fear of never becoming a powerless Dullahan with gifts of a witch. Had him letting her cry out her pain until Dracula arrived in her room with a dining cart asking if his daughter could have Monster Ball Soup.

"Better not be that instant box stuff from clearance shelf." Heather yelled from inside their room.

"She's just angry that someone interfered with our daughter." Jarlath sighs. "You may come in."

Jarlath ended up telling Heather to calm down and Hazelcape's frown disappeared into a smile when Dracula stepped into the room. Bowl of Monster Ball Soup was passed into Jarlath's hands by Dracula when he headed straight to Hazelcape. Taking a seat on the fold out bed with one of his hands weaving into her strands of her hair as other cupped her chin.

"How soothing the chill of your hand, for me right now." Her whispers calmed Dracula's worried heart.

"You only knew how scared I got when told about your injury." Dracula sensed nothing wrong with her.

Heather ended up coughing at the closeness of her step- daughter and former employer while she and her husband were still in the room. Giving a suggestion about Dracula replenishing her step- daughter's lost power In sensual matte that had the two pulling apart.

"Mom!" Hazelcape blushed staring at her hands.

"..." Dracula would stay quiet as he stayed beside Hazelcape.

"Love. Talking about time where your play around with my essences isn't how you start a conversation." Jarlath whispered to Heather.

Heather would walk off mumbling something about needing to check in with her step- son to leave her husband and step- daughter alone. Gave Jarlath a moment to tell Dracula, that his daughter was going to be a little under the weather. Time was going to be needed for her to recover was equal the remainder of their stay at the hotel and she lacked energy.

"Meaning she may not have the strength to further interact with you." Jarlath warns Dracula.

"I know." Dracula gazed upon her face.

Jarlath could only walk toward his old friend and place the bowl he been holding down on the nearest table with a sigh. Recalling how his spent his isolated years away from the world of humans and monsters to raise his children after losing his first wife. She was late bloomer when her powers as a Dullahan didn't surface until she become a teenager. She was always weak and such a timid girl that lacked the courage her brother had when he grew up beside her.

"Can I still visit her?" Dracula wasn't leaving her alone completely.

"Anytime." Jarlath didn't seem the harm. "You own the hotel."

Silence fell upon the two until they two as the jointly looked at the sleeping Hazelcape before one would end up moving. Jarlath didn't make a attempt to stop him when Heather's skeleton dogs wound surround the occupied bed. Some settling near her feet and bigger ones curling up near where Dracula had sat to make up for the lost of his body heat.

"I'll make sure she eats the soup you bought." Jarlath after Dracula.

"Please inform me when she wakes up." Dracula asked of him.

Which got the vampire a nod from the Dullahan before he left the room to start his investigation into the hotel's troubles. Making his way down to the lobby one gloomy step after another since plans to spend with Hazelcape were on hold. End up stopping he noticed a human- like monster handing off what was a rather large bottle to tentacle monster.

"Is everything?" Dracula asked this woman.

"Everything is fine sir." She answered with a grin as brim of her hat hide the rest of her face. "Something wrong I don't know about?"

He went on to explain she needed to be wary of who ever had been going around and snipping piece of monsters. She would agree too since she been exploring the hotel after just arriving a few days ago with her pet. Tentacle monster waved the tentacles he wasn't using to hold her jars at Dracula as they chat.

"I should be going." Dracula noticed a suit of armor waving to him.

"Stay safe and hope to see your later." She winked at him.

Dracula ended up moving out of the way when she tried to blow a kiss toward him after her wink was rejected. This disgusted feeling that Breandán felt started to boiled within Dracula's gut at the way this woman behaved. Had him wanting to scream at her that he already Zinged with someone and wasn't going to with her, no matter advanced she made.

"Ring my room any time you want a good time. " She called after him.

She ended up whistling at his retreating form when he started to walk away from her and her Tentacle monster. Left her sighing and in a sour mood since she would have to resort to her plan B to even get a piece of a vampire.

Dracula swore that morning when he turned in to his coffin after a long night of collecting reports and room to room searches. He was wiped out and needed rest for another round of questions to guests to narrow down the trouble maker. Their wasn't anyone body in his room when he felt hands made of velvet soft finger tips beginning to untie his pants. He felt how slowly these fingertips slid his pants loose to his knees and expose him to heated air of his room. Made chills run up and down his spine when those teasing touches wrapped around his arousal, and began to gently caress.

" Hazelcape! " He could barely say her name with out moaning. "Your way of making up for ..."

Those silky smooth lips kissed his tip in feather soft kisses, the use of words or finishing the sentence went out the window. Got worst for him, when she took him fully into her mouth and bobbing motion on his enlarged member started. Some how the sucking just got little difficult while a hand slowly traced the underside of his stiffening member. In search of his scrotum to start massaging his sac once she had completely swallowed him and got pas her gag reflex. His moans became louder the further she continued to draw out the pleasure with such skilled hands. Until he bit down on his lower lip and groaned out Hazelcape's name upon releasing in her mouth with great force. She would have a hard time pulling all the way from his to keep his spilled fluid in her mouth with out swallowing or spitting out.

"Hazelcape. That was amazing." Dracula starts to catch his breath. "That was a bit forward and I would have liked to have waited until we got to know each other. "

No answer came when lid of his coffin was opened and noises of feet on his stone floor running out of his room. Had Dracula up and fixing his pants calling out Hazelcape's name as he telekineticly pushed his coffin's lid off to see where she was. What he saw was a woman that looked nothing like Hazelcape standing before his bedroom door just staring back.

"Your not Hazelcape." Dracula could feel the angry rise in him.

"My master needed a piece of a vampire and taking on this Hazelcape's likeness completed my goal." Thsi thing answered him.

Before he could attack whatever assaulted him in his sleep using the image of his second zing so carelessly. The person disappeared from his sight delivering the part of a vampire that was needed to finish a recipe.
