Who Else is FURIOUS with today's episode? Or is it just me? Bertrand is my favourite character and now stupid shapeshifter made stupid Vlad go and stupidly kill him! Stupid!
They better find a way to bring him back, or else.
Anyway, moving on this is a super short one shot for Hya Hya's LIGHTENING CHALLENGE. Enjoy :)
"-and the blood really is spectacular Vlad" His father moaned, trying to persuade him to go to Italy. "And the girls are rather pretty"
"Look, in all honesty dad, I have not got the time for this!" Vlad sighed impatiently "I need to meet with Jonno"
His fathers face fell and rearranged itself into an expression of impatience
"look, Vladdy, my boy" He started uneasily "I thought we'd been over this, I thought you'd grown out of this silly coexistence phase"
Vlad sighed again, a nasty habit, sometimes he wondered why he even bothered trying to bring peace to either kind. Nobody made it easy for him…
"We have been over this dad. While I now drink blood, I still don't see why we should bite breathers when we can get it from a blood bank-"
Just then Vlad was cut off by a noise outside the door
"Woah" came the all too familiar voice "This is awesome!"
Sure enough as the door opened, a tuft of black hair poked round, followed by a pale face with huge awestruck eyes. What on earth was he doing here?
"Much better than that boring old school you had before" Robin, Vlad's vampire-mad but-supposedly-mindwiped old friend said thoughtfully as he entered the room.
"I know" Vlad agreed thoughtlessly before stopping in his tracks "Wait, how do you know about the school? How do you even know about me?"
Robin glanced up at Vlad for the first time in years, noticing at once how vampiric he looked dressed from head to toe in leather. He had changed, but for the better. In robin's opinion Vlad looked awesome as a vampire, he definitely looked like a vampire king, which robbing supposed he was now.
The count was sat on his throne, his long red cape floating around his ankles while Ingrid, looking sexy as always robin noted, was stood just behind Vlad. For once in his measly breather life Robin finally saw why the Dracula clan were so feared; just once glance at this dysfunctional family unit would send any normal vampire running, let alone a normal breather. Yeah, but robin isn't normal…
"Oh, Garside?" robin said nonchalantly "I came across it while looking for you"
"Looking for me?" Vlad said, stunned; robin wasn't even meant to know they existed! "What about the mindwipe?"
Robin laughed "You never were very clever Vlad, the mindwipe worked for a couple of weeks, then I just remembered everything. Our friendship was too strong Vlad" Robin gave a shaky smile "I've been looking for you ever since"
An awkward silence settled upon the room as everything robin said sank in, until suddenly robin couldn't take it anymore, he hated silence
"But what's this about you drinking blood? What happened to 'I'm never drinking blood'?" robin burst out and carried on without so much as a breath "I mean, don't get me wrong, I think it's awesome you've become a proper vampire, but you seemed dead set against it"
"I changed" Was all Vlad said, ignoring the gleeful look of his sister; funnily enough, they had actually become closer as a family once Vlad showed he could be as evil as the rest of them.
"Okay" Robin said emotionlessly, and sensing that Vlad wouldn't say anything more he asked another question "So" he started with a childish glee in his eyes "What does it taste like?"
With that, even Ingrid laughed.
Not my best, I know, but I liked the challenge so I wrote it. Review!
