Chapter 1
Arriving back at Garside Grange made Vlad feel as if no time had passed at all. He squeezed Talitha's hand and opened the large, looming door. The place was deserted having not been inhabited since the Dracula clan had left the house two years prior. Memories lingered of Erin, Malik, Sally, George and many other things that were his life when he was at the residence. Ingrid and Piers had moved out a little after the rest of the family, them finding they did not need such a large property. However, they would be back, the whole family was reuniting.
Piers and Ingrid had made it official. Piers was no longer a breather and was a vampire instead. Their romance blossomed and were proud to be evil together. Piers had created a softer side of Ingrid though, she was now less evil to her family and more evil to her actual enemies. Luckily Vlad was not one of her enemies nowadays. She had a seat on the high council and was revelling in her position of power. The Vampires were finally being more equal and taking on board women's rights. Ingrid was at the forefront for many of the campaigns.
The Count and Renfield after exploring Australia went back to Transylvania. They found there was much too much sun in Australia and The Count had decided to return to Garside as an angry mob had positioned themselves outside his castle in Transylvania. The Count was much hated in Transylvania and had many less enemies in England. They had packed up and left in the night, just how they had many years previously.
No one, not even Vlad had anticipated being back in Garside with his whole family so soon. He had suspected it would be at least 10 years before he would even encounter one of them again. Vlad was now taking his role as The Chosen One very seriously and was trying harder than ever to create peace between Vampires and Breathers.
Maybe seeing his family again would help with the plan for peace.
