Johnny woke to pitch darkness of Mavis's room. He lifted his head from the pillow feeling slightly lightheaded. After he regained clear vision, he could see her in the corner of the room sitting down facing the wall."Mavis?"she didn't reply. He stood from the bed and took a few moments to find footing, then he slowly started toward Mavis. When he got close enough, he could see that she was crying. He rushed to her side trying to comfort her even considering what she had just done to him."whoa Mavis what's wrong?" He knelt beside her and brought her in close embracing her in a gentle hug.

She pushed him away,"stay away Johnny".

He was so confused, "what?"

She turned to look at him," you heard, stay away, I'm a monster."

Johnny's expression turned serious," you are not a monster Mavis."

She groaned," look at you Johnny, look at your neck. You look like hell and probably feel worse all because of me." She replied staring at his fang marks sadly."I'll never forgive myself for this Johnny, maybe if I died everyone would be happier."

Johnny couldn't believe what he was hearing,"Mavis are you crazy what are you taking about?"

"I'm talking about making you happy Johnny!" She yelled back.

"Mavis, you make me happy" he tried to explain. She didn't answer, just continued to stare off into the dark.

"Mavis I'll be back,"Johnny said standing up,"don't hurt yourself while I'm gone." Then he
left.

Johnny ran to the library. He had to figure our how to fix this before Mavis did something that was completely crazy. As he ran in, he noticed Dracula sitting at a table alone looking kind of sad."hey Drac what ya looking at?" He questioned.

"Huh?" Dracula looked up,"oh hi Jonathan, I was just looking at an old photo album. The vampire redirected his gaze back to the book and looked upon the pictures. They consisted of Dracula and Martha together, then Dracula, Martha, and baby Mavis. A silent tear fell from his eye but he wiped it away quickly hoping Johnny didn't see it. Then he noticed his appearance," Johnny why are you so pale, you could be a vampire." His eyes then fell upon the two holes on the side of his neck."Johnny, is that what I think it is?!" Dracula exclaimed.

Johnny flinched then covered the wound in his neck. He had forgotten that he had left the little part about Mavis craving his blood."I just tripped,"he lied.

"And the mark it left was the perfect mark of fangs?" Dracula questioned doubtfully.

"Yea" Johnny said slowly.

"She bit you didn't she?" Dracula questioned voice raising slightly in anger.

"Ok yea but she only drank a little. It wasn't a lot and I kind of let her do it so it wasn't her fault," he tried to pin the blame on himself as best he could but Dracula wasn't buying it.

"Look I don't have time for this", Johnny exclaimed suddenly," I need to find a way to cure her cause it's gotten bad", Johnny said while looking all over the walls of books.

Dracula expression became urgent," what?! How? In what way?"

"She's fallen into a depressive state blaming herself for everything she's done to me or apparently will do."

"Well what's so urgent about that?" Dracula asked," now she won't hurt anybody."

"Except herself!" Johnny yelled. "If we don't find a cure soon, she just might kill herself from guilt."

Dracula now understood," is there anything that I can do?" He said quickly.

"If you could help me find any book on vampire legend that would be great" he replied.

"I don't have any books on the disease though." Dracula explained," the disease is too new and won't be found in this library as it has not been updated recently."

"That's ok," Johnny said while climbing a ladder to a higher shelf," I'll find information on the computer about that". Dracula nodded then went to work finding books.

A couple of hours passed and books had started to pile on a table in front of where Johnny was reading and taking notes vigorously.

"I think that's it," Dracula said putting the book on top of the pile.

"Thanks for the help Drac," he said without looking up from the books." You can go back to attending your guests now, I'm sure that they all must be exploding with impatience."

Dracula looked at him for a couple of seconds before walking away leaving Johnny alone in the gigantic and silent library. It was a long time before Johnny actually found something but he eventually did while searching the internet. "I got it!" He yelled happily as he ran out the door to tell Dracula. He found him in the lobby," Drac drac, I found a way to help her!"

Dracula looked around nervously then grabbed him and brought him back into the closest."are you crazy? Someone could have heard you!"

Johnny continued like he wasn't even listening," so usually the subject will have to overcome this on her or his own, but in the rare situation that were in where Mavis's stage is depression and not anything else, there is a ritual that can be performed to help Mavis along."

"This is great news Johnny! Let's go and retrieve her," Dracula replied.

They ran up to her room and barged through the door only to find the most horrific scene. Her room was trashed and scattered. The worst part though, was that one of the legs on a chair was broken off and lodged into the area of Mavis's heart.

With her hands still on the steak she looked up,"I'm sorry Johnny." With that she fell to the ground.

"No!" Johnny yelled as he ran to her side.

"we have to get her to the infirmary now!" Dracula yelled.

Johnny picked up Mavis with both hands and ran out the door as fast as he possibly could to the infirmary .
