Amelia and Daniel were sitting there detention. They were so bored they had both got a book from the shelf. Amelia was struggling though the final chapter of the short book When Miss Grey said.

"Amelia, Daniel you can go now. BUT. I don't want either of you two fighting again, especially not each other! I thin you're bright kids. Go." Miss Grey told the twins.

"Sometimes you have to speak with your fists" Amelia muttered under her breath. The Twins were walking up the final flight of stairs when Vlad whooshed in front of them.

"Cleaning the kitchen! REMEMBER!" Vlad said.

"At least let get through the front door!" Daniel commented.

"Um. How about at least letting us have dinner first." Amelia commented.

"Well because of your little garlic prank. Renfield has to make dinner in the school kitchen! So he has probility manged to only just start. And then he has to bring him all the way up here so there is plenty of time for both of you to do your punishment." Vlad told them, as he walked them up the final fight of stairs.

"Haven't we been punished enough?" Amelia asked Vlad, as she and both her brothers walked though the front door.

"Nice try." Vlad said sarcastically.

When Vlad called the twins down for dinner they were tried and could barely move. They saw there food when they sat down. It was crunchy mice in cream(mice in blood for the Vampires) and a pile of vegetables next to the bowl (only the twins had vegetables). The twins hated crunchy mice in cream and wished Renfield would 'cook' something else. The twins ate the vegetables and some of the crunchy mice in cream, which tasted disgusting, so every time they had a small mouthful of their food they had to have a sip of water. When everyone had finish their food (the twins hadn't exactly 'finish' theirs) their was a knock on the door. Vlad went to answer it. He opened the door and the woman Vlad saw said

"Hello Darlings!" she said. It was Magda. The mother of Vlad, Ingrid and the twins. I sudden rush of anger went thought Amelia's dead veins. She felt hot with anger.

"Mum? Why are you here?" Vlad asked.

"To see my four children ofcorse, Vladdy." Magda told her eldest son. Either of the twins could help but snigger at the word 'Vladdy', even Amelia who was still tempting to control her anger.

"Fine you can come in. BUT you are NOT staying." said Vlad making it clear to his mother that he wasn't going to fall for of her skims again.

"No! Don't let her in!" Amelia muttered quietly to herself, but Daniel heard and put his hand on his twin's shoulder.

"Hello Amelia. Hello Daniel. How are you?" Magda asked.

"Why are you here?" Amelia asked, irritated, trying not to shout or cry.

"To see you and Daniel and Vlad and Ingrid." Magda answered trying to put her hand on Amelia's shoulder put she pulled away. Amelia could control her anger any longer.

"Well I don't want to see you! I HATE you!" Amelia yelled, as she quickly stood up glaring at her mother not taking her eyes off her. Amelia was staring Magda and Vlad was staring at Amelia. Vlad thought Amelia was mad. No matter how much he tried to hind it a small part of him was always desperate to see Magda. Especially when he was Amelia's age. Amelia broke eye contact with her mother, picked up her glass of water and thew it at Magda. She gasped and Ingrid, Vlad and even Daniel gasped at what I just did. The Count just laughed in Magda's face.

"Good one Amelia. Pity it wasn't garlic water!" The Count said laughing all the way though his sentence.

"Yeah pity." Amelia said, then ran out the room down the corridor turned right and ran all the way to room, then she jumped on her bed with her head in her pillow. Amelia cried pretty quietly considering she hardly ever cried. Vlad didn't even hear her crying until he was outside Amelia's bedroom door. Vlad was angry at Amelia, but hearing his little sister cry told him not be so harsh on her. Vlad slowly opened the door. Amelia heard this looked up to see who it was. When she saw that it was Vlad she picked up on of her cushions and threw it at him. Vlad caught it at arms length and threw it on Daniel's bed and walked over to Amelia.

"Amelia. Look at me. We need to talk." Vlad said as nicely as he could. Amelia mumbled something though her pillow. It sounded like she was saying 'F**k off'. 'Honestly! The language you lean from breathers' Vlad thought to himself. "Amelia! I can't pretend that you didn't throw water over mum." Vlad told Amelia.

"Why f**king not!" Amelia said as she got up and looked at Vlad so he could see the redness around her eyes.

"Quit swearing!" Vlad said crossly.

"F**k you!" Amelia replied.

"I should wash your mouth out with soap! Were did you learn that word?" Vlad asked.

"What word? 'F**k'?" Amelia asked and Vlad gave her a Don't-act-stupid look. "I heard Carly say it to this Year 7 boy." Amelia told him.

"Do you even know what it means?" Vlad asked. Amelia saw her brother's point and tried to think of a cleaver response.

"Is..it in the..dictionary?" Amelia asked.

"Nope." said Vlad. Then their was a 60 second pause then Vlad said. "Why were you angry when I let mum inside?" Amelia did not replies. "Why did you throw water over mum?" Amelia stayed quite. "Wow. This is the longest time ever you've stayed quite for!" Vlad teased trying to get a response - even if it was swearing.

"I've been quite for longer than this before!" Amelia told her older brother.

"What does that mean?" Vlad asked his little sister.

"Nothing!" Amelia said quickly. "Just pis off." she added. Vlad gave her a were-did-you-learn-that-one look. "I heard Alex say it to David." she said and Vlad rolled his eyes and whooshed out of the room shutting the door behind him and leaned on the door and thought about what Amelia had said. What did she mean by 'I've been quite for longer than this before!'? He thought about going in there again. Then heard Amelia crying again and whooshed off, to the front room. Vlad saw his mother dappling her front with a tissue to make dry quicker.

"Oh Vlad. Why did Amelia throw that water over me. This cape cost a fortune!" Magda told her son.

"I don't know she wouldn't tell me. I thought you might know." Vlad told his mother trying to be tactful.

"How would I know! I've always tried to be a good mother to the twins. I was devastated when they were taken from me." Magda told him as she sat down were Amelia was sitting. Vlad doubted what she said when Daniel walked out in disgust, but sat next to his mother in simplify all the same. "All I want to know is why she hates me." Magda said, as Vlad sat next to her. Vlad weakened.

"Fine you can stay. But only until we find out why Amelia threw the water over you. She doesn't hate you. Amelia just ...over reacted about something." Vlad said regretting what he had just done, because he knew it would upset Amelia even more. But he wanted to know why Amelia so upset. The water being thrown over Magda was sort of funny now Vlad was thinking about it. He didn't really care about his mother after all the times she let him down. His dad often got on his nerves, the same about Ingrid.

All Vlad truly cared about was peace between Vampires and Breathers and the twins.
