So.. I decided, since it's been a whole year since I updated anything, I'm going to rewrite this story. Really it's to correct grammar and spelling mistakes and to make it and over all better story for you all to enjoy. It will have the same plot and pace. The first four updated chapters are going up tonight Central Time. I'm a lot more dedicated now so I will do my best to get this story finished. No more leaving for 5 months to a year leaving you all guessing.

So, like I said before, this is is set right after the events in season two. I will put none of the new characters from the new seasons in here because I don't want to change what I have already planned. Please review. :) And thank you all to have been so patient with me.


Vlad's POV

I fell to the floor, but the pain from it was too much so I just laid there. For a moment I had fallen asleep, but when I woke up I could hear my dad and my sister arguing. I started to get up but decided to stay still and listen to what they were arguing about.

"You will pay for this betrayal Ingrid!"

"Silence!" Ingrid demanded. "From now on you will call me, Countess Dracula. Watch me as I avenge Will's death, and make the streets of Stokely run red with blood."

She ended with a shrill laugh and disappeared. I waited a moment to see if she would return. After about five minutes I opened my eyes and stood up. My dad looked over at me and was overjoyed.

"Vladdy! Are you all right?"

I thought about his question for a moment while I looked over the room and myself. Dad was still in the cage, and everything was a mess from the fight.

"Yeah," I replied. " I think so. What just happened exactly?"

"Well after you put on the Crown of Power and made all those breathers forget everything, you passed out. And now Ingrid has taken my throne and plans on taking over Stokely"

I stood there in shock with what my sister plans to do… well maybe I shouldn't be that shocked. But I had to stop her, but how can I? I may have been able to erase everyone's memory but I still wasn't a full vampire yet so I couldn't fight her.

"We have to get out of here," I couldn't think of anything else at the moment. "Just hold on while I try to figure out how to get you out of that cage."

"No," Dad said. "There's no time. You must escape before Ingrid gets back. If she finds you she will kill you."

I couldn't believe it. Dad wanted me to leave him behind. "I can't. If I go she'll just kill you."

"We have no choice!" He was beginning to lose his temper. "You are the Chosen One. You have to get out of here and find a place to hide until it's safe to come back. I will face Ingrid."

I wanted to argue, but if I did I would just be wasting time.

"Ok," I finally agreed. "I'll go. Just don't let her hurt you."

He laughed, "I wont. Now go up to your room and slide the gargoyles head back. A secret passage will open. Follow it out."

I repeated all of that in my head. I then looked did in the eyes, "I'll be back soon."

He smiled and with that I ran up to my room.

There I found Zoltan hiding. "Oh, master Vlad. You're awake."

"Yeah," I replied thankful he was safe. "Zoltan, I'm leaving. I need you to stay here and keep an eye on things." Zoltan didn't seem to like that idea, but I needed someone to do it.

"Master Vlad, where are you going exactly?"

I honestly haven't really thought of that. Where would I go? "I'm not sure," I admitted. "I'll figure something out. Don't worry, I'll be careful."

As I was changing into some more comfortable clothes, I heard Ingrid return and she didn't sound happy.

I quickly grabbed my backpack, and threw my secret stash of snacks and some money in. I ran over to the gargoyle and slid the head back. Sure enough a door open in the middle of the floor.

"I'll be back as soon as I can Zoltan," I promised.

"Be safe master."

I sighed, unsure about what will happen in the near future, "I will be."

I ran down the passage and the door closed behind me.
