~The Counts Children~

Chapter 3-Memory Loss

It was midday in stokely Castle and a adverage day for the Dracula's, Renfield was doing a chore that involved moving furniture from the Hurst to the Castle, Vlad was in his room deep in discussion with zoltan, the Count was pondering and Ingrid was bored so decided to go visit the Branners as she walked towards the gate, her and Renfield clashed next thing Renfield knew was Ingrid was knocked out.


Renfields P.O.V

I stood in silence for a moment befor ekneeling beside the child "Mistree Ingrid!" I demanded her to wake up, one thing for sure was The Count would kill me if he knew his daughter was unconsious, so I ran up to Vlad's room once I got there Vlad gave me a disgusted look before asking "Renfield,what?" my answer was fast and slurred but I attempted to explain "Mistress Ingrid needs your urgent attention, she is unconsoius" Vlad jumped down from his bed demanding me to lead him to his sister so i did, only hoping he wasn't so strict as his father?


Vladimir's P.O.V

When me and renfield reached the archway, I glanced over at Ingrid who lied motionless in the rain without a second thought I ran over to my sister,kneeling beside her in the mud "Ingrid!, oh no...Renfield!" I shouted the slave slowly approched me awaiting his punishment "yes master Vlad?" he asked nervously, i gave him a dark look before asking "what did you knock my sister out with,exactly?" he thought for a second before replying with satisfaction "the blood mirror master" I look back down at Ingrid before shouting "with the mirror!" i desperately need her to wake up before Dad found out, so i told Renfield to continue his duties but not to tell our father about to Ingrid incident, while I demanded her to wake up finally she opened her eyes, i let out a sigh of relief while she studied me for a moment then asking "who are you?" my sigh of relief was replaced with a frown.


Ingrid's P.O.V

I peered up at the younger boy, who was he? and where was I? He looked round before replying "I'm your brother,Vlad?" but I couldn't place him in my mind "I am sorry kid, but i don't have a brother or a family" the boy was in a panic but truth be told I had never seen him before in my life...then he replied "yes you do have a family!, with me and Dad" I think i would remember a younger brother like him and a father.


Vladimir's P.O.V

Oh my god, she doesn't remember a thing right there was only one thing for it,carefully i helped her stand "you good to walk?" i asked concerned, Ingrid stumbled into my arms I sighed before muttering "take that as a no"as she leaned against my frame, she must have noticed my clothes because she asked "what are you wearing?, wasn't halloween last month?" i laughed silently before supporting her as she limbed towards the archway how it is possibly to hurt your leg or foot by simply being knocked out with a mirror was beyond me my first thought was to take her to Dad he would surely come up with something to help her memory come back but i could picture his reaction being something like this "how dare this happen!, I am the prince of darkness i will not stand for my daughter forgeting her life, and how can she forget me I am Count Dracula and very rememberable!" so for the time being i just think some drawings would bring back some memories, while Ingrid leaned against the spiral staircase i searched every draw i saw, then i found what i was looking for a book containing all drawings and photographs of the count with his children some more recent, others from a while back i handed her the album she studied each picture for a long tim,possibly too long


Ingrid's P.O.V

Looking at these picture brought back something but it was rooted at the back of my mind something i find really hard to connect too, as i studied each image it brought back a few memories in each picture we were all wearing black and red giving us each a gothic yet unique look about us i would never describe myself as happy or cheerful but in each pictue i was smiling (it was most likely false,though) casually i looked over to the young boy who claimed to be my brother he was watching me from a distance seeing his face now and in the picture brought everything back the time mum returned and wolfie was born leaving him in our care the evil witch, the time the slayers kidnapped us,the time i stopped him from drinking blood on his thirteen birthday and become someone he didn't want to it all came back the life i had forgotten. Suddenly he was striding over to me,and place a firm yet friendly hand on my shoulder he kneeled down and asked "do you remember?" I attempted a small smile and replied "yes i do...vlad" he chuckled for a moment i had the sudden urge to hug him evil or not,oh heck i did it anyway he was clearly suprised by the embrace. Yet whispered in my ear "good to have you back sis" i could only smile as words seemed to fail me.
