Chapter Text
Sarrow eyes watched Mavis go to her dads side who leaned down in the rumble of his once beautiful hotel.
This was all his fault. If he hadn't tried so hard in getting Dracula's acceptance and love. If he would have tried less and been less Johnny. What did he expect that Dracula would do? Even after all these years welcome him with open arms? After all his beloved wife Martha had been killed by humans.
Rubbing his arm the male stormed away from the scene. Unable to continue watching. A whole a 125 years of this beloved hotel and he ruined it with just one selfish decision.
"Johnny". Erica reached out to Johnny only for him to pull away quickly. Her heart clenching at the tears the tears that were at the corner of Johnny's eyes.
"Don't". A edge to his voice Johnny stormed past her into the forest which didn't go unnoticed by Mavis.
"Johnny wait!". Mavis started to go after her husband.
"Let him go". Erica reached out touching her step daughters shoulder. "He needs to blow off some steam".

Johnny could see The hotel even at the distance that he had gotten away from the group. The ruins of the group. The ruins of the once beautiful hotel clenched at his heart. Knowing full well that this was his fault.
"What have I done?". Johnny whispered leaning against a tree sliding until he reached the ground. "I ruined everything!".
"Now he's never gonna like me".
Sniffling Johnny rested his head on his arms staring at the darkening sky.
It was only moments when something caught his attention. Raising a eyebrow in confusion Johnny slowly stood inching towards the item.
It was some sort of glowing stone.
"What…is that?". Johnny
"So you found A nasally voice drifted through the air prompting Johnny to let out a shriek dropping the stone.
"Calm down". Amusement crossed the monsters features as she came from behind the tree. "I am not going to hurt you".
"Who..who are you?".
"My name is Nadine". She gestured to the stone in his hand. "And what you hold in your hands young man is a time stone".
"Time stone?". Johnny frowned.
"It gives the person who holds it abilities to go change a event, of any different time".
" A event…you mean..I could change myself from taking van halzings ray?".
"Yes". Nadine tone soft. "But there is no garentee that Dracula and you would ever have a relationship quite like you did in this time".
"I know". Johnny closed his eyes wearily. His words drifting into his head.
The hug the acceptance.
"But…he shouldn't have to lose the hotel. Not because of my jealousy and family issues. I want to do this. I NEED to do this".
Nadine reached out touching Johnnys shoulder.
"Your a good human. Even turning back time Dracula will see that give it time. There is just one thing. Given the ray never hit you. It still needs somewhere to go in this universe. It won't kill you. But it will be inside you. Making you sick and weak. A couple times a month. You will experience raging emotions. And pain".
"But it won't kill me".
"No". The woman drawed out. "But..".
That's all I need to hear". Throwing the stone at the ground Johnny
"You might not survive if your body gives up". Nadine facepalmed with a irritated sigh. "Why don't they ever stay for the warnings?!?".
