So here's another chapter. Thanks to everyone who has reviewed, favorited, and/or followed my story. I will try to post the next chapter as soon as I can.
"I have to help her. I can't bear to see her like that. she's my daughter". Dracula was pacing on the ceiling of his office talking to himself and contemplating on what he should do."If I go then I break my promise to Johnny. If I stay, I endure watching my child suffer." He had been thinking for almost four hours.
Johnny was almost never seen around the hotel. The only time you would see him is if he ether had to go to the bathroom or was getting mavis food.
" I mean I know that Johnny is trying to be the hero and doesn't want anyone to get hurt but he should have known that when it comes to Mavis's well-being, I have no willpower in the matter. I must try to help her, even if it means that I will get hurt",Dracula decided as he jumped off the ceiling and landed gracefully on the floor then headed towards the door.
Meanwhile, Johnny was sitting in the hall outside of Mavis's room. He had just had a very vicious fight with her. It was more like he just stood there and took the beating but it still drained him of all his energy. He just needed some time to rest. Johnny was about to close his eyes when he heard a familiar voice start to talk to him.
"Mavis is a really lucky girl to have a boyfriend who cares for her more than he cares for himself" said the head from the door Handle. It swung a little when it spoke.
"Yea" Johnny just replied tiredly.
"You know, I used to have a husband that was exactly like you",continued the head." He would have given me the world if I had asked for it. Then one day I found out that I had cancer and that it had spread too far to stop. The doctor told me I had around a month or two. We searched everywhere medically and magically to try and find a cure for it no matter what the price for the antidote. Just when we had given up the chance that there was a cure, along comes Dracula asking if we needed any help. We told him all about our problem and he said he could cure me! We were so happy but of course there was a catch. It would include having to turn me into a shrunken head and I would have to work for Dracula at the hotel."
"What did you say" asked Johnny who was very interested in the heads story.
"Well I didn't want to but my husband convinced me to go through with the deed saying that I would thank him one day. But that was over 100 years ago. He's long gone and I'm still here wishing to this day that he could have just let me go.
Johnny was actually quite interested in her life story. After all this time, the heads were known just as a tool to remind guests to not disturb each room but for the first time, Johnny realized that they were all once regular people with regular lives. This gave all the heads new respect in Johnny's eyes.
"Thanks for telling me that and for cheering me up" he replied after a while.
" No problem, anytime" the head replied sounding like she had just done something helpful,which she had.
Just then Johnny spotted Dracula walking down the hall towards him.
"Hello Johnny...What are you doing sitting out here?" Asked Dracula.
Johnny immediately jumped up and responded." Actually I was just on my way to get Mavis something to eat. Do you wanna come?"
"No, I have some stuff to check first,"He lied.
Ok suit yourself Johnny replied before turning around and heading towards the elevator.
As soon as the elevator doors closed, Dracula turned to face Mavis's door. He quickly opened the door, ran inside, then closed it behind him.
Johnny had just gotten a tray of food from the hotel cafeteria and was starting to walk away when a friendly voice stopped him.
"Hey Johnny what's up"
Johnny turned around to see frank towering over him."hey frank... Uhh what are you doing here is it like a special occasion or something?" He asked.
Frank replied,"nope we just wanted to visit Drac to see how he was holding up with you two gone. Speaking of which, why are you here?"
Johnny thought about what to say before letting it slip out cautiously." Some plans changed and we decided to come back for a visit also."
"Cool", frank replied,"how's Mavis".
Johnny quickly realized that this conversation was getting to close and that he had to quickly end it." Oh she's great hey listen I have to go" he said too fast then ran off leaving frank confused.
Dracula's eyes adjusted till he could see Mavis sitting on her bed. She opened her red glowing eyes and growled. Dracula spoke extremely carefully." Hey Mavis, listen I just want to..."
Mavis lunged at Dracula even though Dracula was able to dodge it.
"Mavis, I want to help", Dracula said more urgently this time.
She lunged again but this time was faster than Dracula anticipated. He was slammed into the wall making him fall to the floor. Mavis then pinned him to it.
"Mavis please don't do this"he pleaded" I'm your father".
She raised her hand revealing sharp claws. Dracula closed his eyes and waited but then felt Mavis's weight relieve off his body and the back of his cape being dragged back into the light of the hallway.
He opened his eyes to see Johnny slamming the door then turning to face him with his arms crossed and a very angry expression.
"I asked you to do me two favors! This was one of them and you lied to me!"Johnny yelled.
Dracula replied with a tone of shame."I know I know I just couldn't help myself. I was so shure I could help her. you don't understand, but when your a father you will."
Johnny's expression lightened then he sighed. "It's ok, just don't do it again. Luckily I was able to get you out with only minor injuries" he said as he lifted his arm to show five giant and heavily bleeding claw marks on his right forearm.
"Those were meant for me weren't they" Drac asked as he began close the veins in Johnny's arm so he would stop bleeding. He couldn't stitch the skin though, that would have to heal on its own.
Johnny just nodded to answer Dracula's question.
After he finished patching Johnny up to the best of his ability, he got up." I must go and check on the guests , thank you" he said calmly before walking away.
Johnny stood there for a couple more minutes before picking the tray of food off the floor where he left it to go save Dracula, then entered Mavis's room.
