Just thought I'd mention this now, for those of you who are reading my works for the very first time. Sometimes stories will not get updated on a regular basis and could go weeks to sometimes months without being updated, and it's not because I'm losing interest, but I could be on course or out in the field, or could be just busy with other things as well.
Also, my chapters, depending on how I'm feeling about said chapter they could be shorter or longer...I will try and make it as long as possible without taking away from the story.
Thanks for reading!
Enjoy!

"Hotel Transylvania? Really?"
"Yeah? What's wrong with staying there?"
"Nothing wrong with it...it's just...I...uh...you know, it would've been much appreciated if I was given just a bit of a heads up. I mean, am I in danger of...of...of, you know, getting bitten by a werewolf or even a vampire? Or hell, there's zombies here too!"
"If I thought your life was going to be in danger then I would've made sure you were in a different hotel." Tessa could practically hear the eye roll in Mariana's voice on the other end. She didn't have to see her in order for Tessa to know that that was exactly what the older woman was doing.
Tessa sighed, rubbing at her brow with slight irritation, knowing full well that Marina had done this on purpose, for what, she wasn't certain. "I-I'm sorry for being such a pain, just bit of a shocker when I saw a hearse with zombies stopping right in front of me, asking me who I was."
She heard a laugh on the other end, "I felt you needed some sort of adventure in your life, may as well have it there, eh?"
"I knew it!"
A click, followed by the dial tone was heard on the other end and Tessa frowned, looking down at her phone. "Great..." She muttered. Looking around her hotel room, she had to admit that it wasn't that bad, it was still styled like it was back in the late 1800's, early 1900's.
It was creepy.
But, oh so, cool.
Sighing, she placed her cell on one of the dark bedside tables and sat on her bed. Many scenarios playing through her overactive mind. Now what would her mother say to her? Oh yeah, Calm yourself down, unless you want to give yourself an ulcer or end up in the hospital for worrying about something such as this.
Closing her brown eyes she took deep breaths to try and calm her racing heart, replaying the conversation that her and Marina just had. It was true, and she knew it, Marina wouldn't have sent her to the hotel if her life was in any sort of danger and she then felt sort of foolish for even calling up and bitching at her for it.
God, she felt horrible.
She had the urge to reach for her phone and call Marina again, but knew that she'd be pushing her luck for calling her again so late at night, instead, she scratched the top of her head and looked around.
Yeah, not too shabby.
Closing her eyes again, she began dozing off, not really knowing how long she had fallen asleep for until a knock on the door came. She yawned, stretching and cracking her neck, getting up from the bed and heading for the door.
Opening the door Tessa saw that no one was there, she looked to the right, seeing no one in the hall, and to the left and saw no one there either and a growl escaped passed her throat, she hated this game, and noticed that people played it here too.
It was annoying as all get out.
Closing the door with a huff, she turned around and yelped in fright, jumping back as she came face to face with a young woman, probably in her early 20's, was hanging from the ceiling and with such grace flipped, landing on the floor with barely a sound.
"Hello!" She waved, and when she smiled, Tessa could see her fangs and knew instantly she was a vampire.
"Hey there."
"Sorry for startling you, I saw on the guest list that you were from Canada and where I've never met anyone from there before I wanted to say hi."
Tessa giggled, "Well then, I'm glad to meet you as well. What's your name?"
"My name is Mavis, what's yours?"
"Tessa."
