Jack wondered around the Hotel Transylvania, it was early morning and many of the occupants in the hotel are either asleep or call it a day. Figueres, everyone in the hotel are more active at night than during the day. Pitch warned him that nothing happens during the day, he must wait until nightfall for the fun to begin.
Keeping his staff close to him, Jack walked through corridor after corridor, hoping to get his way back to the lobby.
"Hey, you lost?"
Jack turned around to see a familiar human walking up to him. "Er… Jonathan, right?"
"Call me, Johnny." Johnny said with a smile, he pulled out his phone and scanned through it before he looked back up at Jack. "Do you need help getting to your room? It's daytime, normally everyone is asleep at this time."
"No… I'm not….okay I maybe a tiny bit lost, but I'm looking for the lobby…" Jack laughed uneasily as many of the shrunken heads that hung on all the doorknobs began to sass him on how lost he was and how clueless he is.
"Follow me." Johnny motioned for the spirit to follow him.
As they walked, Jack felt the air between them felt tense and awkward. It was on his part than the human.
"How do you know, Pitch?" Johnny asked, breaking the silence, and catching Jack off guard.
"Errrrr… He attempted to take over children's dreams to replace them with nightmares." Jack replied uneasily.
"Oh! Oh… he probably did that to get away from Drac." Johnny chuckled, he looked off in the distance with an expression of melancholy. "Or he needed a recharge… Probably both… both is a good reason."
"You're not mad?"
"Nah, this place is filled with monsters. A lot of the guests here have their reasons for doing the things they have done to have the label of being a monster from the human population. It took a long while for a lot of us to realize that both humans and monsters that we all have dark and light sides to us. We all learned to live side by side to each other in harmony…and some other stuff…" Johnny said the last part in a low whisper more so to himself than to Jack, remembering what Dracula had told him about the coexistence of humans and monsters. "Anyway, here we are, the lobby!"
True to his word, the human and spirit are back at the lobby area of the hotel.
"Could I ask you a question?" Jack ask Johnny.
"Sure, shoot."
"How do you know Pitch? How is he connected to all of this? To everyone?"
"Hm… how do I explain that…" Johnny tapped a finger on his chin deep in thought. "Well… I never had dreams, always had nightmares. I officially met Pitch when he knocked on Mavis's door and demanded to know when I was going to take Mavis hand in marriage. He is her godfather you know. Good guy all around. As for the second question… Hm… Pitch is the reason many of the monsters here became who they are. He made them legends and a permanent fixture that has everyone become who they are. He is like that loveable uncle that always has his pockets filled with candy or toys, always has the best stories and the one you want to go to for advice…and… he's a great babysitter! Everyone loves him."
