Y/N POV:

-And that's the last time I had an accident, I say to my therapist and wring my hands. She nods and write it down, before calmly placing her own and notebook down on the table in front of us.

-Ok... I see that there's a repetitive pattern here, a negative pattern, she says and takes of her glasses and puts them on the notebook. I nod expectantly.

-And... I think you need monster therapy, she says, and I panic.

-Monster th..... no! No, no, please no, I- I Can't handle another accident, I say panicked. She sighs and grabs my hands.

-You will be alright... I'll contact one of my friends down in Transylvania. There's a hotel for monsters and humans, and I can talk to the owner and book a room for you and my friend, she explains. I think the plan over.

-Is... your friend human? I ask. She smiles and nods.

-She is, she says. I take a deep breath.

-Ok... ok, I'll do it, I nod.

-Great! I'll e-mail you the details and your bill later, she smiles and and I smile nervously back.

Oh dear.... what did I get myself into...?

Two weeks later:

I've gotten off the plane to Transylvania's airport and I'm going to stay 2 weeks in the monster hotel. I'm walking out to the arrivals hall and I'm greeted with a sign with my name on it. The girls holding it is excitedly waving me over. I muster up my best smile and walk over to her.

-Hi! You're Y/N, right? She asks and shakes my hand violently.

-Yep! I say

-I'm Linda, nice to meet you! She says.

-Nice to meet you Linda! I say and we walk out to take a taxi.

-Are you excited? She asks. I shake my head to the sides.

-I'm more scared than anything, I say as we get into the car.

-No, don't worry, Count Dracula is the nicest vampire around! She says and the car starts moving.

Wait.......

A VAMPIRE!?!?

Flashback:

Im looking around my neighborhood for my dog, Lassy.

-Lassy? Lassy? Where are you boy? I say as I go around shaking a bag of dog candy. I hear a little whimper in a open backyard.

-Lassy? I ask as I walk into the backyard. There sits a boy, licking blood from my dog. I turn pale and drop the candy. The boy smiles sheepishly up at me and hold my dogs corpse up.

-I'm sorry... is this yours? He asks. I scream and run home. When I get home, I tell mom and dad what happened and then I fainted.

End of flashback

That's what I call an accident. Every time I see a monster, especially one with fangs or sharp teeth, ESPECIALLY vampires... I mumble incoherent words and then I just faint.

I wring my hands in my lap as a big fancy hotel rises before me. I start sweating a bit as the car stops and Linda takes my suitcase from the trunk. I get out and almost faint right then and there. Don't get me wrong, I am so happy that monsters are able to walk freely and live normal lives.... I'm just terrified of them?

-Linda... I say quietly, shaking a bit.

-Yeah? She asks.

-I can't do this.... I squeak.

-Oh, of course you can! C'mon! She says and drags me into the lobby of the hotel. Inside the hotel are humans and monsters alike. I try to not seem rude, at the same time that I'm trying to hold myself together and not have a panic attack.

-Drac! Oh Drac! Linda says loudly and waves her hand in the air. Oh no, oh please no no no!

A man comes to us and smiles.

-Linda, I'm so happy you and your guest are here! He says and smiles, showing off his fangs. I gulp as he looks down on me.

-My name is Count Dracula. And you are? He asks nicely and holds out her his hand. I only squeal in fear. He looks confused at me.

-Oh this one here is absolutely terrified, Linda says and grabs me around my shoulder.

-She's here in monster therapy, you see, she "whispers".

-Aahhh, I see! Well, I hope that my friends or me are able to give some help? Drac says and Linda laughs.

-Oh absolutely! Linda says. I wanna run from my skin and just.... not be here....

-Here is your key, if you want to get set up early, we can- thank you! I quickly grab the key and run towards the elevator and get to the floor on the key.

Third person POV:

Drac looks confused after the woman that just ran away. Linda laughs.

-Yeah, we have some work to do, she says and Drac faces her again.

Y/N POV

I pack up some stuff from my suitcase as Linda enters.

-I wasn't being too rude... was I? I ask nervously.

-No... it was good for a first try, Linda says happily. I smile and nod.

Ok... not so bad, not so bad.

The 1:st day:

Linda and I was going to spend the day with a monster called "Blobby".... which I quickly figured out why. He was nice, didn't talk clean English, but luckily, I could just about understand him. He was nice, nothing major.

The 2:nd day:

I think Linda jumped very deep into the water with this one... we were going to have dinner with the invisible man. He was basically just a pair of floating glasses. He was very nice, but the magician on stage made me almost throw up my dinner on the invisible man... embarrassing.

The 3:rd day:

Ok, too deep down, to deep down! Pull me back up! I was standing I front of big foot. He motioned with his toes as he spoke and I felt so sweaty and nervous that I just kinda walked away... not that he'd notice....

-Y/N, what was that? We were in the middle of a conversation! Linda walks after me.

-I'm sorry, I needed some air... I say and walk outside, Linda staying inside. I sigh as I look into the night sky.

-How am I ever going to do this? I ask myself.

The 4th day:

So because of yesterday's fiasco, we try again with the invisible man. I almost helped when we met again. We decided to have lunch outside instead... so we could avoid that magician.... it's me... I wanted to avoid the magician.

In the middle of the conversation, I stop him.

-I'm sorry, can you just... I say and bring out two glow stick bracelets. One red and one green.

-Could you put the red one on your right wrist and the green one on the other? I find it calming when I know what people are doing, I sigh.

-Oh, yeah, for sure, he says happily and puts them on and begins talking again. I calm down a bit when I see the bracelets.

-How do you know which hand and foot is which? I ask him when the conversation was over.

-Oh, Uhm.... lots of training? I mean, I've never really seen myself, so it's mostly just feeling and stuff. But I do know that I'm rocking a curly red head! He says and I laugh.

In the evening, me and Linda are going back to our room when I bump into someone. I stop and look up.... Dracula...

I freeze again, as he smiles.

-Hello Y/N and Linda! How're things going? He asks.

-Oh well, Y/N managed to make friends with the invisible man! It's off to a great start! Linda says. Dracula turns to me and my blood freezes cold.

-Is that so? He asks.

-Blublakukulolo, I say and black out.

Dracula's POV:

My eyes widen immensely as she falls into the floor.

-Oh, she said this might happen! Linda gushes and checks her breathing and her pulse.

-What... was that? I ask.

-She's terrified around monsters, and she doesn't want to come off as rude or unwelcoming, so she's on monster therapy... I guess you triggered her? Linda says and tries to lift her. I lift her easily.

-It was my wrong doing. I can carry her back for you, I say. Linda smiles and claps her hands and we walk back to their room.

I put Y/N down on her bed. She looks scared of me, even in her sleep. I sigh and remove some strand of hair from her mouth.

-Drac? Are you alright? Linda asks.

-Hmmm? Oh yeah, I'm fine, it's just... when do you think she won't be afraid of me? I ask sadly.

-You didn't do anything wrong... it's a traumatic experience that triggers it off... not you specifically, Linda reassures.

-I will leave you two for the evening. Good night Linda and Y/N, I smile as I walk out of the room and sigh as I continue my round.

Third person POV:

With just 10 days left, will Y/N be able to get over her fear and have an actual conversation with Dracula himself? And will Dracula muster up enough courage to tell Y/N that she doesn't need to feel ashamed, and maybe ask her why this was happening from the start?

We'll see in part 2!
