In the sunny west coast of Staybrook, California, Sasha Jocklin was enjoying her time the way she does best; watching TV at home cuddled up with her beloved Whampire, eating chocolates together, just letting the day go by. And that was just fine with them.

"Another sweet, my sweet?" Whampire offered.

"Yes, please." Sasha opened her mouth and the Vladat placed it gently on her tongue. "And I have something else for you too." Whampire puckered his lips. Sasha knew this all too well. Their lips touched and shared a lovely kiss.

Sasha sighed and slumped deeper in Whampire's arms. "Ahhhh, this is the life. Everything is so simple and quiet and peaceful..." Indeed it was. Sasha certainly enjoyed it when things are peaceful.

SLAM!

Whampire yelped and Sasha jumped right off the couch when she heard the door slam and saw her sister Rachel come running in. "Sasha! You're not gonna believe this! We won! We won!"

"What?! Won what?!" Sasha sputtered.

"A contest! I entered in this contest and I won us a free vacation!" Rachel pulled out a piece of paper. "It says so right here and we actually won!"

"Wow! Congratulations!" Whampire said.

"A free vacation?! Really?! To where?!" Sasha was just as excited as her sister.

Rachel unfolded the piece of paper. "It says here we have an all expense free trip to beautiful...!" When her eyes read the location on paper, her eyes grew and her heart plopped in her stomach. "Transylvania?"

The room went quiet. Sasha was still as a statue as the word echoed through her mind.

"Transylvania...?" Sasha murmured, her face getting pale.

"Whoa, whoa! It's okay, Sasha!" Rachel tried to calm her sister down. "I know it's not Hawaii or Paris, but Transylvania is just as, uh, charming!"

But then Whampire grabbed Sasha's shoulders. "Yes it is," he hissed in her ear. "Transylvania; home of the most fearsome monsters in the world! Frankenstein, the Mummy, the Wolfman!" He squeezed her shoulders tighter. "And...Count Dracula!" He let out the perfect Dracula laugh that made Sasha's blood run cold.

Sasha felt faint, the room spun a little. Visions of ghosts and monsters haunted her head. She and her sister were going to the vacation of their nightmares!

"Whampire!" Rachel said, shoving him aside. "Listen, Sasha, those kind of monsters aren't real! Monsters like Frankenstein and Count Dracula are only movie make-believe." She smiled. "I promise we won't be seeing anything scary on this vacation."

Sasha blinked her frightened eyes at Rachel. "Promise?"

"Promise." The two sisters hugged each other tightly.

"Y'know, I speak a little Transylvanian myself." Whampire mentioned. He swept his arm flap over his lower face. "I vant to bite your neck..." he bellowed beautifully.

Sasha shivered and instinctively rubbed her own neck. "That's understandable, Honey." Even when she's madly in love with him, Whampire never fails to give Sasha the chills.

Rachel took Sasha 's hand and headed up the stairs. "Come on, let's go pack our bags. We leave first thing in the morning!"

"Hey, if you see the invisible man, get me his autograph!" Whampire laughed.

"Goodnight, Whampire." Rachel called from upstairs.

The next morning, the girls were all packed up and ready to go. Rook and Whampire were giving the girls their goodbyes.

Rook sadly dipped his head. "I cannot believe we will be apart for a whole week..."

But Rachel smiled and pulled his head up. "Don't worry, Baby. The week will fly by before you know it. We'll be home real soon."

Whampire was just as bummed as Rook. "I'm going to miss you, my darling. I'll miss your glowing smile, your radiant beauty, your lovely lips touching mine." He gave her lips a kiss. "So delicious..." he purred.

His words set Sasha's heart aflutter. "Oh, Whammy pie. I'll miss you too." They enjoyed one last kiss before they loaded on the bus and waved goodbye.

The boys kept waving goodbye until their bus drove completely out of sight. "I am sure the girls will enjoy their vacation in Transylvania." Rook said before heading inside.

But Whampire just looked on. "Yeah, maybe..."

After the long plane ride, Rachel and Sasha finally arrived at Transylvania at the European International airport. They got their luggage and looked outside the huge window. "See, Sasha? Just look at the beautiful scenery! Transylvania is a perfectly normal place!"

And for the first time since they left America, Sasha smiled. "Yeah! It is beautiful! I can't wait to see more!"

Once they stepped outside and hailed a cab, Rachel and Sasha spent the whole day exploring the Romanian countryside. The village was so picturesque and the people were very friendly. It was so far the best vacation ever.

After a little while later, the sisters decided to eat at the local pub. Once dinner was done, the girls decided to head over to the mountainside for some nightly sightseeing and mountain climbing. They decided to get there the old fashioned way; by horse carriage. Despite it being rather slow, the girls enjoyed it.

Sasha beamed as she took in the scenery. "Y'know, Rachel. I'm glad we came to Transylvania. I feel so silly about getting all scared."

Rachel nodded. "I told ya, there's absolutely nothing to fear in Transylvania."

The coach driver smiled as he drove with ease. But he noticed something that broke his moment of peace. He noticed the setting sun and dusk was arising. He paled as he realized he was in front of an old forest of dead, gnarly trees. He snapped the reigns and stopped the coach.

Rachel stuck her head out the window. "Is something wrong, sir?"

"I'm afraid you'll have to walk here, kid." the man said, his voice shaking. "This is as far as I go."

Confused, but the girls got out anyway with their bags. Their faces filled with shock and fear when they saw the spookiest forest they had ever seen.

"Wait a minute!" Sasha called out to the driver, but he was already a mile away, driving at full speed and out of sight.

Rachel was miffed as she was confused. "What the heck was that all about?"

Sasha nervously looked around. "I don't know, but we better get out of here! Where's the nearest hotel?!"

Rachel pulled out her phone for directions. "Hmm, it says here that the nearest one is all the way on the other side of the mountainside!"

"But that could take us all night!" Sasha wailed. "We're doomed!"

"Well, we could take a shortcut through the woods..." Rachel suggested, a little nervous.

Sasha whimpered and hid behind her sister, holding her tight. Rachel put her arms around her. "Don't worry, we'll get through this together."

As they walked into the woods, the sisters grew more scared and paranoid. The woods became more dark and scarier than it ever did before. And the worst part was, it felt like they were walking for hours. They shivered from the cold and grew tired from their trek.

Just then, Sasha spotted something. "Look!"

The girls saw some sort of vehicle drive through the forest. And to their amazement, a trap door of some kind opened up and the car drove right through it. Then the door slammed shut.

"Whoa! Did you see that?!" Rachel exclaimed.

"Well, it was pretty hard to miss!" Sasha replied. They walked over to where the door was. Rachel kneeled down and saw the door wasn't shut all the way. "Help me open this." With a few good, hard stomps, Rachel and Sasha managed to open the door and stumble upon an underground tunnel. "I bet if we follow this tunnel, we'll get back to civilization."

Sasha rubbed her goose bumps. "Anything to get out of this creepy forest!"

And so, the girls went through the tunnel and when they reached the end, they beheld the most amazing sight of all.

It was a huge stone castle that stood tall and massive, it was truly the most breathtaking building the girls have ever seen in Transylvania.

"What is this place?" Sasha breathed awe.

"Look there." Rachel pointed to a wooden sign written in gold letters; Hotel Transylvania.

"This is a hotel?!" Sasha nearly shouted. "It looks more like a palace!"

"Palace or not, we need a place to stay for the night. Come on!" The girls walked down the driveway and went through the revolving door. They gasped in fear and wonder!

The lobby was something out of King Arthur's court. Glorious red drapes and golden décor was around the place, the only problem was; it was dark as a dungeon. But what bothered Sasha the most were the suits of armor placed around the room.

Rachel swallowed hard. "W-Well, we better check in." She and Sasha went to the counter and rang the bell. Sasha looked over her shoulder and whimpered, she felt like those suits of armor were watching her. "Rachel! Let's get out of here! I don't like this place!" she hissed under her breath.

Rachel was struggling to keep her cool. "Sasha, this is no time to be a scaredy cat. It's just a nice, normal hotel. There's nothing to be afraid of..."

Then Sasha yelped again when she saw someone atop the stairs. "RACHEL!" Sasha screamed.

The lobby's lights suddenly turned on and standing on the stairway was a teenage girl with short black hair and bright blue eyes. She appeared to be the most surprised of all when she saw the two tourists. "Hello? Who are you?"

Once the girls collected their wits, Rachel spoke first. "I-I'm Rachel and this is my sister, Sasha. We didn't mean to bother you, but we were on our way to the mountaintop until the carriage driver flipped out all of a sudden and just abandoned us in the middle of nowhere! We've been lost for a while and we really need a room for the night."

The girl appeared hesitant, but understanding. "Okay." she finally answered. "I'll show to your room. Oh! My name's Mavis, by the way."

"Nice to meet you, Mavis." Rachel said politely. "Are you sure about us just walking in like this?"

"Oh, don't worry. My dad runs the hotel. You just leave everything to me." Mavis showed the girls to their room. It was perfect, with a queen sized Victorian bed and had a master bathroom as well.

"Thanks, Mavis." Sasha thanked. Mavis smiled and shut the door behind her.

As the girls were tucked in and ready for bed, Sasha sighed in relief. "Phew, I thought for sure we'd be monster chow back there!"

"Relax, sis. There's nothing here but a nice girl named Mavis and her dad. Now, let's get some sleep." Rachel turned off the light and the girls fell fast asleep.
