Johnny sat in the waiting room with his face in his hands. "I should have never left her alone! How could I have been so stupid, why am I so stupid!" He thought to himself.
Dracula approached him," Johnny?"
Johnny lifted his head to reveal red eyes that were obviously from crying and lack of sleep.
"Johnny, go get some rest" Dracula insisted," you look like death".
Anger immediately flared up inside him," I have never left her and I never will! Do you want me to leave? Is that what you want?!" Johnny yelled standing up.
Dracula backed up clearly surprised by his attitude.
After a few moments Johnny sighed," I'm sorry," he replied softer,"I'm just tired, so much has happened and I..." He couldn't finish."I couldn't go to sleep if I tried though," He finished.
Johnny sat back down and Dracula took a seat next to him," I understand" Dracula replied. After a few moments the nurse came out and both Dracula and Johnny jumped up from their seats. "Is she ok?!" They both yelled simultaneously.
"Luckily" the nurse replied.
They both let out huge relived sighs.
"Yea if it were just a half a millimeter closer, she would've died." She continued.
"Can we see her?" Johnny asked.
"Not now, she needs rest. I'm sure you understand." The nurse replied.
" of course," Johnny replied slightly put down.
Dracula saw this and decided to switch to something else," so Johnny, that gives us time to go over the ritual."
"Ok!" He exclaimed. They both waked to the library to discuss. Once they got there they both sat down in chairs that were around the room.
"So tell me, what does this ritual do exactly?" Dracula asked.
"Well,"Johnny started," during the depressive stage, she is least...well...active."
Dracula nodded his head but said nothing.
"There is one thing though, she has to combine with her dark side."
Dracula was confused," what do you mean?"
" if we do this ritual it makes her combine easier. She'll be almost exactly as she was before, the kind and loving Mavis but just not as kind or innocent, You understand?
Dracula still had no clue. Johnny rolled his eyes," she'll sometimes break out in anger more than she used to, she'll won't forcefully take blood from me but she will ask very very persuasively, she may come on to me but not as harshly or as demanding... Are you getting the picture now?"
Dracula nodded," I understand but it will get at least most of her back yes?"
"Yea" Johnny replied happily.
"When can we perform this ritual," Dracula asked.
"Actually, we could do it in her infirmary room. We just can't right now."
"The moment when they will let us in, get me ok?" Dracula said.
"I'll explain more when were at the moment but I'm going to wait outside her room in the meantime," Johnny said standing up.
"Of course" Dracula stood from his chair as well," I have to attend guests anyway." They both left the library heading in separate directions. Johnny sat back down in the waiting room and thought to himself silently,"when this is all over, I'll have to explain how I left her alone and she did this to herself. I hope she'll be able to forgive me for it.
A few days passed until they were finally allowed to enter. Johnny had been asleep in a chair when the nurse came out and poked him.
"The rabbits ate the cake!" He said startling from his sleep.
"What?" The nurse replied.
"Oh ah nothing" he laughed to himself rubbing the back of his neck.
The nurse just looked at him funny," ok well I you wanted to know, you can come in now."
"Really!" Johnny exclaimed excitedly
"Yup"the nurse replied before walking away. Then Johnny ran off to find Dracula.
They walked in to find her still unconscious, "perfect!" Exclaimed Johnny. "The candles and chalk if you would please". Dracula handed the items to him and he thanked him. Then Johnny drew a star around her bed and put the candles around her as well."there now all we need to do is chant some magical poem thing and then wait."
"Do you have the magical poem thing?" Dracula questioned.
"Nope," Johnny replied.
Dracula face-plamed," well how do you expect to chant it then if we don't know what to chant?!"
Johnny smile faded,"oh"
Dracula groaned before speeding to the library to find a book. In a moment he came back with a giant old and dusty book and flopped it onto a table,"ok! Here we go". He opened it making a giant boom when the cover hit the table. Dracula flipped through some old pages until he found what he was looking for."ok here it is so we just chant this." They started to chant. They could almost feel the difference in the air around them as the chant progressed. It seemed darker and more serious. When the chant finished, all of the candles around her lit by themselves as all the other lights in the room went out. The star seemed to glow a dark red and there was a strange draft yet no windows were open.
"Whoa this is creepy" Johnny said quietly.
"So now we just wait?" Dracula asked.
"Now we wait" Johnny replied. They sat down in the chairs inside her room and watched.
I thank sondardo for giving me this idea for the story.
