Hello everybody! Yes I know it's been over a year since I last updated this story. I took a hiatus from writing there for a bit and when I came back I got busy working on other storied that this one fell to the waste side for a while. The good thing though is I'm back to working on this and it shouldn't take that long to finish this considering I was close to finishing it when I took my hiatus. I would say including this chapter i got like three chapters left so this will be finished pretty quickly. Anyway, lets get back to it.
"You wanted to see me Drac?" Elsa asked as she opened the door to Drac's office the next day. She didn't know why Drac requested to see her, or why he sent one of those weird talking suit of armors to fetch her, but nonetheless she willingly walked to Drac's office where she saw Drac counting the money they made from the talent show last night.
"Yes Elsa," Drac said with a polite smile "I got something for you and your friends." Drac opened the top drawer to his desk and pulled out a check and handed it to Elsa "Here take it, you earned it for last night."
Elsa stared at the check in shock, not knowing what to say. She was not expecting something like this. After all, they only came to this hotel for vacation, and was only helping out around the hotel as volunteers.
"Why are you giving me this?" Elsa asked shocked.
"Because you have helped save my hotel," Drac said "You and your friends have brought so many new customers to my hotel, it's the least I can do to show my appreciation."
"I... I don't know if I can accept this." Elsa said "I am a queen after all, it's not like I'm desperate for money."
"Ah keep it anyway." Drac said. Elsa just shrugged and put it in her pocket, deciding she would give the money some charity when she got back to Arendelle.
"You know something Drac, your not that bad."
"Why thank you." Drac said
"Arendelle doesn't really have many monsters except maybe me and Olaf, so their perspective of vampires and werewolves aren't very positive. They only really know what they have read in horror stories and seen in the monster movies.
""Yeah the media hasn't been the most friendliest to us in the past," Drac admitted. "But the world has been changing, and so has the public opinion of us. Look at you, your a monster and yet you are queen of a entire country. And your people love you despite what you are."
"Well it didn't quite start out that way." Elsa replied "At first they were scared of me when they first discovered what I could do. One bozo even sent a couple of his men to try to kill me, and another person used the public's fear of me to try to accuse me of killing my sister to try to kill me as well. So it wasn't exactly the best first impression that you would hope it to be."
"I here you Elsa, I didn't really have the best beginning with humans either. Shortly after Mavis was born a mob of angry humans attacked my castle and killed my wife just because we were vampires. The whole reason this hotel was created was to keep Mavis safe from humans. It took me one hundred and eighteen years to learn to finally forgive and trust humans again. At least your people came to accept you quicker then humans did with me."
"I'm sorry for what happened to your wife Drac."
"Thanks Elsa, I've learned to move on from it though. I still miss her everyday but I like to believe she would be proud of both me and Mavis and what we have become."
The two of them just stood in silence for about three seconds before Drac clapped his hands together changing the subject.
"So how much time do you and your friends still have on your vacation?"
"About five days."
"Good, in that case just go and have fun. I won't force you or your friends to help around the hotel anymore if you don't want to. Just go, have fun, relax, and just enjoy yourselves. You earned it."
"Thank you Drac," Elsa said before leaving the office. Drac just chuckled to himself as he sat back down at his desk and continued to count the money.
"You know if I had a son I'd make him marry that girl."
Elsa and the gang took big advantage of Drac's offer and spent the rest of the day doing what they originally wanted to do on their advantage the whole time, relax. Anna and Mavis laid on the roof staring at the stars. Originally Anna wanted to get a tan but since the monsters couldn't handle the sun staring at the stars on a beach blanket would do. It at least gave her the chance to chat with her new best friend. Elsa was at the pool testing out her new ice blue bikini, while catching the eyes of many of the other monsters. Needless to say several of the monsters including Wayne got their faces slapped in by their very jealous wives for staring at Elsa in her bikini. Kristoff hit the party room having a dance off with some of the wolf pups and losing badly. Those wolf pups were better dancers than Kristoff gave them credit for. Olaf and Frank pulled pranks on Murry by holding a match up over his bed and allowing Olaf to melt just enough to get Murry's bed wet while he was taking a nap, making Murry think he wet the bed. Needless to say after Murry woke up and Olaf's half melted arm froze back to normal, Murry's reaction to his wet bed was pretty hilarious. Murry kept insisting it wasn't him while Frank was offering Murry one of the wolf pups diapers. Everybody had the perfect vacation day that they had wanted and at the end of the night they spent nearly a whole hour just talking about their day. Although Kristoff gave a weirded out look when Olaf told them about what him and Frank did to Murry. Anna just burst out laughing at his story, not able to control how hilarious she thought it was.
Little did they know was that the fun wouldn't last much longer. When the sun came up and everybody went to bed the strange organ music that had been playing each morning for the past several days started playing again. Johnny had gotten up to get himself a drink of water when he noticed several of the humans leaving their bedrooms walking like they were in a trance, their arms stretched out in front of them and walking and moaning like a zombie.
"Huh that's strange. I've never seen any of those people walk like that before." Johnny said "And I didn't see anything in the memo about it being walk and talk like a zombie day. Something is going on here." Johnny ran back to his and Mavis's bedroom and grabbed his backpack before taking out his smart phone and following the humans in a trance. Video recording everything as it unfolded.
"My name is Johnny Loughran and I am following what appears to be several humans walking in some sort of hypnotic trance." Johnny said as he faced the camera before zooming it in on the humans as they continued to walk in a trance. "There seems to be music playing in another hotel across the street and it appears like the humans are walking to the hotel. Could the music be what's putting them under the trance? Does this explain all the people that have been disappearing from our hotel? Why am I filming this like it's the one of those found footage horror movies? I'm going die following this trail am I."
"Yes," A loud but familiar voice said from behind him. "Yes you are!" Johnny was just able to turn the camera about and film his abductor before being struck on the top of the head, falling to the ground unconscious and drug away by his feet to the new hotel, leaving his phone and backpack on the ground abandoned.
What better way to come back to a story after being away from it for a while then leaving it off on a cliffhanger I say? Hope you enjoyed it. I promise it won't be more than a year before I update this again.
