When Vlad and Daniel got home with The Count and Ingrid were dragging them by their arms and The High Council right behind and Vlad and Daniel wasn't happy about leaving Amelia.

"We can't just leave Amelia there!" Vlad yelled.

"Exactly! We have to go back!" Daniel shouted agreeing with his half brother as he tried to go to the door, The High Council whooshed to the door.

"If you back YOU will get captured! Is THAT what you want?" said Morgan asking a rhetorical question. Vlad decided to change the subject.

"RENFIELD!" Vlad yelled. The Vampires waited for about 30 seconds then they heard Renfield running from upstairs trying to get to Vlad as quickly as he could.

"Yes Master Vlad?" Renfield asked Vlad.

"Amelia's reflection is coming to merge with her early we need to know why, so run a test on this piece of Amelia's hair. . . " Vlad told Renfield as he handed him the plastic wallet with the bit of hair and the hair pin. ". . . also Amelia's reflection touched my jacket run some test on that as well." Vlad added as he took of his sun proof jacket and held it front of Renfield while he waited for him to put his rubber gloves on so his DNA wouldn't go on the jacket then Renfield took the jacket of Vlad.

"Vlad! We can't just leave Amelia were she is!" Daniel told Vlad bringing up the subject that Vlad wanted put aside, so he could think about the situation in peace. Vlad was silent thinking for a few minutes then said.

"I can use my powers to get a connection with Amelia so we can hear and see everything she does, and after a while the connection will be strong enough for us to talk to her." Vlad explained.

"We don't care about Amelia!" Morgan told Vlad and the rest of The High Council and the Count agreed with him.

"When did I involve any of you in my idea?" Vlad shot back as he grabbed Daniel's hand and whooshed to his bedroom. When Vlad and Daniel was in Vlad's room Vlad picked Daniel up and put Daniel so he was sitting on Vlad's closed coffin.

"So can you really get that sort of connection with Amelia?" Daniel asked Vlad, unsure of his brother's power.

"Yes I can." Vlad reassured him, as he sat crossed legged next to his coffin facing the bedroom door. Vlad clicked his fingers to stop anyone interrupting. Daniel heard Vlad mumble something in Transylvania-ion as he slowly rose in the air until he was at the level as Daniel, still mumbling, then Vlad looked up. Daniel looked in the same direction the brothers saw a cell that looked a lot like Vlad's.

"Were is that?" Daniel asked.

"It's what can be seen from Amelia's perceptive." Vlad explained. The brothers heard crying and Amelia blinked and then what could be seen was blurry from tears which were obviously Amelia's. Amelia had long-ish nails which she was using to unlock the hand cuffs but this was clearly taking a longer time then it normally did for Amelia to pick a lock. After about 3 minutes their was a click of the cuffs unlocking, and that's when the brothers heard clapping. But Amelia was alone - wasn't she? Amelia turned around to see her reflection and gasped. The reflection stopped clapping and clicked her fingers and the ropes around Amelia's legs untied themselves and fell to the ground.

"Well done! Now things can get interesting!" Amelia's reflection told Amelia, Amelia was scared and like any scared 13-year-old girl would do she quickly and frantically looked around the room as if there was a secret exit some where and she was sure she saw a man looking at her through the window when she looked at the window but Amelia though nothing of it other than the idea that it was her imagination.

"Beep! Beep!" went Amelia's watch. It was 3:00am.

"NO! Leave me alone! I don't want to merge, with you!" Amelia yelled, as she slowly backed away.

"Don't you want to know the Dracula secrets?" Amelia's reflection asked, which confused Amelia.

"What secrets?" Amelia asked. The reflection laughed.

"You're the Heir Of The Chosen One, Amelia. He can keep secrets from you now, but when you merge . . . all will be known." The reflection informed. Amelia stood there in confusion.

"I don't want to know any secrets and I don't want to merge with you!" Amelia yelled and her reflection laughed at her again.

"You don't get a choice." Amelia reflection told her evilly. And she whooshed up to Amelia and grabbed her hands. Amelia screamed in pain. Then the man she thought was her imagination whooshed up to the scene and used blue lighting to push the reflection away.

"Leave my sister alone!" The man yelled, at the reflection, as he struck a blue lighting at it. Amelia stared at this strange man in raggedy old clothes like a homeless person and had a large beard, why was he saving her from her reflection? They didn't know each other. Did they? There was something strange about this man that reminded Amelia of her farther. And was Amelia hearing things or did he call Amelia his sister? Amelia decided to tell this man her confusion in 5 words.

"Who the bats are you!" Amelia commented rudely, the man gave Amelia a do-you-really-want-to-get-rude-to-me? look, which strangely reminded Amelia of her father's glares before he hit Amelia and Daniel.

"I'm Raymond Southerner. I'm am the eldest son of Clark Southerner. Me and our sisters have been trying to track thou and thine twin Daniel since we discovered thine existence in 2011. When it was told in the 'Vampire Times' that thou two lived with The Chosen One, about 4 weeks ago, finding thou both became easy." Raymond explained. (A/N: I decided to make Raymond speak a few words in old English to emphasize the point that most of the male vampires on this show are stuck in the past. Thou=You. Thine=Your)

"Yeah thanks for trailer to . . . 'Raymond's life history'!" Amelia said sarcastically. Raymond gave her the same look as before and Amelia suddenly wondered how much her newly found brother Raymond was like their father.

"Don't think thou can get rude with me! Now come on! We need to leave!" Raymond said and without warning grabbed Amelia's hand and whooshed himself and Amelia to the woods were Amelia had made her first encounter with her reflection. Amelia stumble as she did not have super speed for a power herself yet and wasn't warned about being whooshed outside unlike Vlad would of done in some way. 'Raymond clearly hasn't had a child in his care for long time!' Amelia thought as she grabbed onto her brother's filthily jacket to keep herself upright. Then after a few seconds when Amelia could balance herself she pushed away.

"Were are we going?! Earlier you mentioned sisters, what sisters?! And I know nothing about you other than your name and that you are my weird half-brother, that says half his words in old English, who are you?!" Amelia shouted getting her face as red as her own bright red hair.

"Thou art a rude girl!" Raymond commented.(A/N: Art=Are. So what he said was 'You are a rude girl!') "We art going to my house were me and our sisters can keep thou safe. Thou won't be safe from thine reflection until thou art 14, going back with The Chosen One will be the first place thine reflection will look. We have two sisters, my female twin, Emmanuel Southerner, although she prefers to be called Emma and our other sister, Rebecca Southerner, although she prefers to be called Becca."Raymond told Amelia.

"And the answers to my other questions!"Amelia asked folding her arms. Raymond sighed.

"I was born 25 December 1593, when the way I talked was normal to the day, breathers have involved to speak the way thou do now and so have most vampires over time of creating new generations, however I am one of the very few who have manged to keep to the the old ways." Raymond informed then he hesitated as if what he was going to say next made him uncomfortable. Amelia then felt guilty for throwing so many Questions at her brother.

"Are you okay Raymond?" Amelia asked.

"I'm fine. If you want to know who I am, then I'll tell you . . . When me and Emma turned 16 dad tried to stake us, after we went through the blood mirror. We weren't harmed . . . physically anyway. 105 years later on the 28th June 1714 (A/N: This date is exactly 200 years before the start of WW1)we met our younger brother and sister who were twins called Juliet Southerner and Owen Southerner. Dad was planing to kill them in 1720 28th June, which was their 16th, so me and Emma planned to save them. But on their 16th by the time me and Emma got their we were too late." Raymond hesitated again and gave Amelia look which was clearly saying is-all-this-satisfying-you-because-there-is-more-for-me-to-tell.

"If you don't want to you don't have to go on." Amelia told Raymond.

"I can see it in your eyes that you want to know more." Raymond informed showing that he knew a bit about children, at least. "Follow me or we won't get to my house before dawn." Raymond ordered, Amelia did as she was told and followed her 419 year-old brother through the woods. They weren't so scary with Raymond with her."40 years after Juliet and Owen's death we found out about Becca, who was 5 and her older twin brother and sister called Saxon Southerner and Sliver Southerner." Raymond informed "Sliver had bright red hair . . . just like thines." Raymond said slowly as he ran his fingers though Amelia hair, Amelia wanted to dodge away and shake her head as Raymond's hands were light brown from dirt, but she held in her temper as she saw Raymond holding back tears in memory of Saxon and Sliver- had dad killed them too?

"Raymond, your upsetting yourself please stop." Amelia said, caring for brother who she had only know10 minutes, although Amelia wanted to know as much as he could tell her about her family.

"They are your family you have a right to know what happened to them. Anyways we spent a year looking for Saxon and Sliver. And found 6 year-old Becca and 16-year-old Saxon and Sliver on the twin's birthday, which was the same day as Halloween." Raymond said, he was about to continue, but then someone interrupted him.

"That's when mine and Daniel's birthday is!" Amelia told Raymond interrupting him, as they walked.

"That is interesting but I'll thank thou not to interrupt." Raymond said sharply reminding Amelia a lot of her farther. "Now where was I?" Raymond muttered loudly to himself. "Oh yes. Again being the terrible farther he is dad was planning to kill Saxon and Sliver, however this time time me and Emma were successful in saving them and we took Becca with us because we knew she would go through the same thing in 10 years time if we didn't take her. We had a great final two years with Saxon and Sliver." Raymond told his little half sister.

"What happened?" Amelia asked trying to sound sympathetic rather than pushy.

"We were packing our bags because slayers were coming to slay us and we were going to move to England. We were waiting for sunset so we could leave. In the last 10 minutes of sunlight the slayers pushed Saxon and Sliver into the sun and block all their ways of getting into shade or out direct sunlight. Just as it was starting to get dark . . . They turned to ash. We didn't even have time to grieve over their ashes we had to go." Raymond explained. "Becca was mortified, at the sight of her full blood siblings turning to dust. She was only 8 as well." Raymond informed. "I still have two brothers and two sisters to tell you about although you can probability guess what happened to them." Raymond added.

"Dad killed them?" Amelia asked, although she knew the answer.

"Yes, it was dad. Thou might be rude at times but thou art certainly also smart." Raymond praised which Amelia was unused to having. "Our Sisters names were Grace Southerner and Faith Southerner and our brother were Fabian Southerner and Damien Southerner." Amelia was told by her older half brother Raymond. Amelia felt so guiltily as she saw silent tears come from her newly found brother.

"I'm sorry, that I forced you to me. I didn't know. Dad always told me and Daniel that he staked all our older brothers and sisters as soon as they turned 16." Amelia explained.

"I forgive thou. Thou art a child, it's natural for thou to be curious, especially about thine family, knew them or not." Raymond told Amelia. Maybe Raymond knew a lot about children after all, only with a different way of showing it. There was a couple minutes of silence before Raymond spoke again. "Did thou believe dad?" He asked, Amelia thought about her brother's question for a minute then said.

"No, dad never told the truth and if he did tell the truth it was always for the worst. I always had a feeling that one day I would meet these brothers and sisters, but I never thought I'd be so young if it never happened." Amelia said, Raymond gave a nod as if to say 'Well done, you're aspected as a sister by me' "Where is your house?" Amelia asked.

"At the end of the road we turn right." Raymond informed. And Raymond knew what Amelia was going to say and she said it.

"But that's were all the old abandoned Victorian buildings are." Amelia complained.

"I know." Raymond said awkwardly. Amelia wasn't exactly shocked. Amelia wasn't a posh girl used to big, massive, nice places, such as were the Dracula's live. With her mother the twins lived in a old cheap flat were it was practically falling in on itself. With there dad the twins lived in several 'houses' because they farther was on the run from the high council for mass murder, anyway they had lived in abandoned buildings some clean - for a abandoned building - and others were too dirty and disgusting to describe. And dad had told the twins that even as a child he didn't have enough money for a house and been living in abandoned buildings all his life, so Amelia was used to the dirty homes, the falling apart homes, the 'bad' homes. It didn't bother Amelia that Raymond live in one those homes, but Amelia would of thought that Raymond would of tried harder to live a different life from dad. Amelia and Raymond had turned the corner and went half way down the street. They stopped at a faded red building with broken and boarded up windows in fact the worse looking building in the street. Amelia hoped that it was better on the inside. Raymond didn't even have a lock on the door he opened the door and held in open for Amelia. "Home sweet home." Raymond said awkwardly, as Amelia walked in. She looked around the room she was now standing in.
