Get back the zing (Drac x reader)

22. Painful truth

Mavis couldn't get it out of her head, while Jonny just complained about the room service.

"Norris is up to something, I know it."

"Honey, they don't serve pizza in this place!"

She just ignores it, "I need to know the truth."

"Hey, not even nachos can you order, not even refreshments from a mini bar. What do you way honey, should we go out?"

Slam!

"Honey?...Mavis!"

The young Dracula couldn't rest until she finds out what Norris is up to. One her way to his office, her grandfather Vlad left one of the hotel rooms...one that he didn't book into.

"Grandpa? What are you doing here?"

The old Vampire was startled at first, but returned to his casual self soon after, "Ah Mavis, I just kept a lonely lady company." Mavis heard a woman shout over for him to return soon. Vlad grinned, "As you can hear, a gentleman shouldn't keep a lady waiting." A shudder went down her spine, not trying to think about hits, she had other thinks to take care of. And this will be very soon. At the main entrance of the hotel, Mavis found her father with Norris. The count raised his hands up in defense, while Norris was shouting like him like there is no tomorrow. The young Dracula couldn't take it anymore, "What is the meaning of this?!"

Norris looked at Mavis, "Wonderful, your daughter is already here. The only once left are your father and that human boy."

"What are you talking about?"

"Simple young lady, you will all leave this hotel at once!"

Drac looked at him with wide eyes, "What?"

Norris came closer, pushing the count into the closest corner, "You ruined the first ball, you almost killed my daughter and above all, you didn't take my warning seriously. Shall I add more?"

The count was defeated, nodding at this. Mavis however, tried to defend him, even the last part. Norris raised a brow, "My warning wasn't about food..."

Drac wanted to interrupt this conversation, as Norris gave him a right glare to shut him up, "...I told him to keep his hands off my daughter. Obviously, he didn't get the hint on the second ball. Your family is a disgrace for this hotel. If I ever see anyone of you here, I will personally...."

"Norris old man!"

Drac and Mavis never expected to see Norris getting smaller in front of his new customers. Although, it didn't surprise them when they seen them for themselves. All of them were ancient vampires, who don't look like you should mess with them...not even a joke. Norris welcomed the group with a deep bow, offering them the best rooms in the hotel. One of the ancient vampires had something else in mind, "I hope that this is one of the old traditional hunt balls Norris."

"Sure is Sir Camellay."

"And...that human of yours?" Drac and Mavis watched from the distance, as Norris assured that everything is in order. Instead of talking in the lobby, he gestured the vampire to join him in his office. Mavis told her father to get the others, while she used this opportunity to listen to Norris conversation. As a bat, she hid at the top of the door, placing her ear onto the gap.

Sir Camellay spoke first, "we have an agreement, I hope you remembered that Norris."

"Don't worry, it is all planned. I chose a young vampire for her, someone she knows well. One the last day, he will not only marry her, but also transform her into a vampire, as you wished."

"And who is this vampire?"

"Laurence, the son of Count Mortimer"

The ancient vampire was pleased with that choice, "Very well, if everything goes fine, we won't have to take drastic actions like the last time, you understand?"

Norris hesitated before answering, "Yes Sir."

The minute the vampire left, Mavis flew into the office, transforming back, "You can't do this to N/A!" Norris didn't look surprised to see the young Dracula, but that she told him what he cannot do, was unacceptable. Mavis didn't see it coming, as his hand held her neck, pinning her to the wall, "You have no idea what I can do."

"She has the right to chose for herself."

Norris face got closer, "Do you think I have fun hurting my daughter?!"

Mavis didn't speak, as Norris voice began to crack, "You have no idea how painful this is. As a father I am willing to do whatever it takes to keep her safe...even if I have to break her heart."

"Why can't my father be that person?"

"Sir Camellay wants a pure blooded vampire family as her husband, get the picture?"

Mavis didn't know what to do, as Norris grip tightened, "As for you and your family, you will leave this instant. If I find out you talked to N/A, I will hunt down your family and make sure that the Dracula blood line ends that day." A very clear warning in the young Dracula's ears. As he released her, she ran back into her room. Jonny, who was still complaining of the service, stopped all of a sudden, seeing his wife dropping to the floor, pulling her legs closer. "Honey, are you alright? What happened?"

"We are not welcome here anymore. Norris told us to leave at once."

Jonny shrugged, "Fine, you get Drac and Vlad and I get N/A."

"No Jonny..." she held his shirt, pulling him closer to her, "...she has to stay."

"Why?"

"Because this is her home"

Her husband laughed it off, "Nonsense, this isn't her home Mavis. Her home is with Anastasia and Franky, a live of a human."

"But she won't stay one for long" her body was trembling.

"Woah Mavis, why are you saying this?"

Her voice got weaker, "It was all a trap. He sends her here, only to force her into something she doesn't know of."

"What do you mean? Who is forcing her?"

She bit her lip, "Her own father"
