This is a retelling of the movie with my own Ocs in the story as well as the characters from the animated series. As a disclaimer, I don't own anything belonging to Hotel Transylvania.

Prologue

1895

It was a dark night with a thick fog covering the floor. The fog soon parted to reveal a gloomy-looking mansion surrounded by dark forest, with hooting and howling being heard in the night. The entire place had a spooky feeling in the air.

Suddenly, a back bat flew up to the mansion and up to the balcony. There it shapeshifted in a puff of mist into a humanoid shape; a tall figure dressed in a cape with a high collar. The figure opened the glass doors without even touching them and looked around the darkened room, his focus turning to the baby's crib in it.

As he crept closer, his shadow showed him reaching his arms out in a sinister pose and open his mouth to reveal two sharp, pointed fangs. This man was a vampire, and fear was in the air about what he intends to do. He was soon stepping out of the shadows ready to pounce when...

"Peek-a-boo." the figure poked his head out, revealing himself to be Count Dracula, and cooed to the baby; a cute little girl with black hair and blue eyes, which was apparently his. But his surprise only scared the baby and caused her to cry.

"No, no, no, no, no. I did not mean to startle you, my little baby." Dracula said picking her up and cradling her in his arms, calmly shushing her as the lights in the room lit up and he started softly singing to cheer her up. "Hush, little vampire, don't say a a word. Papa's gonna bite the head off a bird." The baby's crying was soon replaced with giggling.

Playful music was heard as Dracula tickled his child's tummy "Da-ba-de-bo-ba! I want to kiss your tush." he said holding up his little girl an kissing her belly. "I want to kiss your tush." He placed the giggling baby on the table and used his magic powers to help change her diaper. He first removed the diaper pins and held them in midair with one hand while using the other to dispose of the dirty diaper and replace it with a fresh new one and putting the pins back on. He then dumped the old on in a coffin-shaped diaper bin.

"I must remember to take those out and have them incinerated later." Dracula said to himself.

Dracula was seen with some Igor-like creature who was dressed like a construction worker with a yellow hard hat, while enjoying a chalice of blood substitute. They were both looking over some blueprints of what appeared to be a large castle structure, and were going through the details.

"Nice, but maybe a little more square footage." the Count suggested. "I want a lot of monsters here." The foreman turned his pencil to the eraser end to make those changes.

"Can I ask you, sir? Where did you get the idea to build this kind of place?" the deformed foreman asked the Count.

"My promise to protect Mavis. Where else?" Dracula replied waving the question off. "Ever since she was born, I've wanted to protect my little ghoul. And I wanted to be fair to all the other monsters out there. So I decided to build a place where all monsters could be safe."

Both he and the foreman were soon greeted by something clear and wet dripping down on the blueprints, and looked up to see it was Mavis sitting on the ceiling. The little vampire giggled and crawled down the wall to be at eye-level with her father. Dracula smiled lovingly while the foreman looked in confusion.

"Uh, boss? Do you think you could keep your daughter occupied?" the foreman calmly asked. "We can't risk her drool messing up the plans.

"Yes, yes, I'll take care of it." Dracula calmly replied as he picked Mavis off the wall. "Come on, my little Mavey-Wavey. Let's go play in the nursery." he said sweetly to Mavis, who giggled happily.

Time passed and Mavis soon turned four or five, at that point growing her vampire fangs and learning how to walk. The little vampire was soon hopping around with a zombie hobbyhorse, giggling as she tried to ride away from her father.

"I'm going to get you, little Mavis! I'm going to get you!" Dracula said playfully before stopping to take a break and lean against the wall to massage his sore back.

Mavis soon stopped her horsing around when she noticed the front door open. Curiosity soon came to the little vampire's mind. "What out there?" she asked before going to check it out herself.

Fearful of what may happen, Dracula quickly ran over and scooped his daughter up. "Oh, we never go out there... ever." he said and glided away and telekinetically shut the door behind him while Mavis peered over his shoulder. "You see, Mavis, out there is crawling with humans." he explained.

But this only made Mavis' curiosity cling to her mind. "What are humans?"

"Well, simply put, humans are aggressive and dangerous creatures that live for the complete destruction of all monsters." her father described.

"That sounds mean." Mavis said, feeling scared as she sank a little in his arms.

"Oh, I know, Sweet Fangs. It does." Dracula said calmly. He then looked at the bookshelf and saw a book titled "Tales of Humans" and pulled it off the shelf, deciding to read some of it to her. "Maybe a story will help you better understand." he said smiling as he glided away.

"And then the monsters ran away and were forced into hiding." Dracula read from the book while smiling at his little girl, who was hiding behind her blanket, feeling frightened from the story. "But Harry the Human found them and jumped out from under their bed!"

"I'm scared!"

"And burned their cloths." Dracula said and made Mavis hide under the covers. "And bit their toes." He grabbed her toes and gently pinched them as she squirmed. "And took their candy!" Dracula pulled the covers and found Mavis somehow disappeared. He looked around before checking under the table next to the bed. There he found her, cowering underneath and clinging tightly to a red skull-shaped lollipop.

"Don't take my candy!"

"Baby Claws, you don't need to be frightened." Dracula attempted to reassure her. "I promised your mommy I would protect you forever." he said before getting back up. Lovely ukulele music was heard and coaxed Mavis to crawl out and look up to see her daddy playing a ukulele.

"My beautiful Mavey, let me wipe all your poop away. Those humans are nastey, so with daddy you will stay." He possessed his ukulele to play on its own so he could pick Mavis up and put her on the desk before grabbing it again. "And if a human tries to harm you, I'll simply say..." His face instantly turned red and his pupils became slits as he let out ferocious and bloodcurdling roars. "...RRROOOAAARRR! ROAR!" As quick as it happened, his face instantly went back to normal with a calm and loving smile. "Because you're Daddy's girl, Daddy's girl." Mavis gave a little smile, which showed her cute little vampire fangs. "I'm your Vlady-Daddy and you're my ghoul..."

Eventually it came for Mavis to lean how to use her vampire powers, starting with changing into a bat and flying. For such an occasion, Dracula gave her a pink bicycle helmet so she'd have some protection in case her first try didn't work. Mavis was standing on the end of her bed, ready to take off, and her father was crouched in front, ready to catch her just in case.

"Just bend the legs and push off. Trust me, mouse." he said scooching back a little to give her some more space. Mavis soon did and, in an instant, changed into a bat between her dad's hands before she could touch the floor, fluttering her little bat wings with all she could. Both her and her father expressed joy with this.

"I can fly! I can fly!" Mavis cheered as she flew around the room.

"Look at you!" Dracula exclaimed with joy. "Faster, baby, faster!" he said jumping with excitement and flapping his hands at his sides. "You got it, my little voodoo doll!" Dracula soon changed into a bat with blood-red eyes and joined Mavis in the air, the both of them laughing as they flew around the candlelit chandelier.

It was at this moment when the Igor foreman came into the room to talk to Dracula. "Excuse me, sir."

"What? What?" Dracula asked annoyed, not liking being interrupted. His attention briefly turned to Mavis when he heard her hit the wall. "Ow! I'm okay." she brushed off.

"It's ready."

Both the Count and the foreman walked out on the balcony to see the work, the deformed man smiling for being happy with how it turned out.

"Looks good. Only monsters can get in?" Dracula asked calmly.

"Oh, absolutely. It's hidden real nicely." the foreman answered and listed the details while the Count used his super-vision to take a closer look. You got four-hundred acres of haunted forest in front of you." A pair of ghosts glided across a forest that had a spooky vibe to it. "You got the Land of the Undead on the perimeters." A cemetery had zombies rising out of their graves. "Any humans daring to even look over there will run away real quick." His point was proven when Dracula watched a human villager try to enter the forest, only for a zombie to pop out of the ground and scare him off. He then panned upward to see the magnificent castle they worked so hard to build. Finally, he zoomed in on the zombie construction workers who were most likely putting the finishing touches on it, only for them to stop when they noticed a zombie woman pass by and swoon over her.

The Count could only frown at this when the foreman warned him, "But of course, be smart. No bonfires. No firework shows."

"Yeah, yeah, no. N-no fire. I get it, I get it." Dracula replied, brushing off the warning.

With everything set and done, the Count turned to a small picture on the table and glided to it. The picture was of Dracula and Mavis with his wife, who was a beautiful woman with long black hair and lipstick. She was dressed in a black dress and neck choker.

"It's time, my darling Martha. The place we always talked about for Mavis." he said holding the picture and stroking it lovingly. "No one will ever harm her here."

The Count is seen walking his beloved daughter into what was to be her new home and eventually the most safest of havens for all monsters to go to... Hotel Transylvania.
