Chapter 1
It has been decades since the hotel has been built and since the Tepes family permanently moved there as well as other monsters. Some still lived in their own homes and regularly came to visit the hotel, specifically for Mavis's birthdays. Dracula and Alucard both tried to make sure that she is safe in the hotel and that she doesn't have to see what humans can do. For nearly 118 years they have kept her trapped but just a couple of hours before she had yet again asked her father to let her go out and see the human world, he agreed, saying that there's a village nearby and that despite it not being much it's good enough for her first time. Despite Mavis wanting to see more she was happy with it and flew there immediately. Only for it to be a complete disaster, making her not want to see any more of the world or humans. But what Dracula didn't realise is that two humans saw the incident and decided to follow the burning 'humans' back to the hotel.
The two brothers were currently in the lobby, enjoying the peace that they currently had. Dracula was in an especially good mood after his planned worked, despite the zombies having nearly blown their cover but Mavis was too naïve to connect the dots. Alucard wasn't like the bubbly vampire that his brother was, no, he was more dark, cruel and had hidden his heart from others including his own family after the horrendous death of his wife and child by the human villagers, just how they had killed Martha, Drac's wife, a week later. Neither of them knew how the humans found them but they had a feeling someone was leading them but they never found out who. Despite being so cold, Alucard still truly and deeply loved his family, he was devoted of it even, despite not really showing it. His brother and niece still loved him though and often tried to get him out of his shell, sometimes it worked other times it didn't. Hence why the moment Dracula saw the two humans he immediately rushed to get them out of Alucard's sight as to not get him angry and trigger his trauma and to stir trouble in the hotel.
However, Alucard did spot Dracula dashing away into a nearby closet, gripping two figures tightly in his arms. Despite his sharp eyes, sharper than regular vampires and monsters, he couldn't really make out what the figures looked like. He decided not to speak up about it nor check the closet himself, just stay in the corner observing everyone with his glowing eyes. He wasn't one to hang out and socialise with others. He enjoyed his peace and quiet but he had to make sure that no one caused trouble in the hotel.
"Wowow, chill out dude. What has gotten you so pent up and bothered?" Jade said very confused as she and Johnny got shoved and pinned in a very small and cramped closet out of the blue. How the hell did he even move that fast?! What was his issue? The man in front of them was acting as if they intruded on something that they shouldn't have. "Quiet, you fool! What weapons are you keeping in this container? Your pitchforks?!" Dracula spat pulling out stuff out of Johnny's bag first at lighting speed before he ended up pulling out a shirt that smelled very badly. Being a vampire his sense of smell was very sensitive causing him to drop the shirt on the floor and curled up in a corner covering his nose. "Oh god!! I can't breathe. It's killing me!" Johnny picked up his shirt without a care and put it back in his bag, unbothered by Dracula acting like that. "Yeah definitely overdue for a fluff and fold." he said which caused Jade to burst out laughing. "Overdue is an understatement Johnny. It doesn't need a fluff and fold but a good scrubbing and cleaning if the man is this bothered by the smell she said as Johnny's iPod turned on in his pocket.
This immediately caught Dracula's attention, as he quickly grabbed it out of the pocket and inspected it with a glare. "What is this? A torture device? A secret mind controller? You won't read my thoughts. I won't let you." Dracula dramatically screamed, glaring down at the music pod as if it would murder him and his family. He had no sense of modern technology nor did he know about what truly is a man's world and how what he showed on the slideshow to the other monsters isn't true.
"Dude chill it's just music. Here have a listen." Johnny said as he put his earphones into Dracula's ears and pressed play. Dracula's face was a mixture of confusion and disgust before she shock the earphones off immediately. Once again behaving like a drama queen and Johnny even called him a 'grandpa' just assuming that he was one of those people who couldn't accept change. "You two need to go. No human has ever entered this castle. And is someone should see you, the sanctuary, no one would ever come again." Dracula declared dramatically, closing his eyes tightly at the thought of no one returning to his beloved hotel, the place that's a sanctuary to his family. Jade and Johnny laughed and mocked him, doing their own impressions of his speech, thinking that he's just playing the role of Dracula.
"And Alucard and Mavis?! If they both saw you two, Mavis would know that I lied and Alucard would kill you both then me. No!" Dracula wailed as she covered his face and groaned, curling himself up in a corner again. Jade and Johnny clearly weren't bothered or taking his warning seriously. "Who's Mavis and Alucard? This their room? Me and Jade are pretty good with roommates since we usually room together and we both have large families. I have six brothers and she has way more than me so we can totally share" Johnny said as the two of them sat down on what seemed to be a chair or a wooden desk.
"I can't kill them. It would set back monsters hundred of years" Dracula turned away as he muttered to himself as Johnny continued to yap about his roommate incidents. He was tempted to give them both to Alucard and let him deal with them but that would undo a lot of progress in the monster community. He continued to ignore the two of them, still in deep thoughts until Johnny and Jade pointed out the costumes. "Costumes?" Dracula said, lighting up as he got an idea. He smirked widely before turning to face them as he removed their bags and placed them next to himself. "What's this? Sorry man. I just can't be without my backpack, all of my stuff is there including some of Jade's stuff that she couldn't fit in hers" Johnny said getting defensive and panicky about this. Jade was also pissed, rightfully so. "Hey what the hell are you doing dude?! It's our stuff!"
"It stays here!" Dracula said, ignoring the two of them pleading to get their stuff back. He put them in their costumes, using clothes, paint, makeup and some random hair products. He turned Johnny into a homemade Frankenstein whilst Jade into a homemade vampire one so that they both would fit into the hotel and not attract unwanted attention whilst he figured out a way for them to get out. He did a pretty decent job at it too, they did look very convincing and no one battered an eye even as Johnny started bragging about the costume as they walked out of the closet.
