Season 1 Episode 3: Mummy Returns
Young Andy Biersack as Zack Gilmore
Lee's POV:
My Uncles have finally moved down so now in the living room: Uncle Stefan was teaching my Biology while Uncle Damon, Uncle Ben, Count, Dad, Mum and Ingrid were in chairs as Zack and Hayley were doing their homework next to me and Vlad was on the table with his cape on looking done with his father's antics. "Ok so Biology is the study of what?" Uncle Stefan asked me "Uhhhh. Biology is the study of life and living organisms" I answered "Correct, your good in biology" Uncle Stefan said "Actually she's flying in film studies and creative writing" Uncle Damon said with a smirk. "Well actually, she's great in English, Maths and Science" Uncle Ben said smirking at his brothers "She's my daughter, of course she's acing your classes. The 3 of you" dad said.
"Sorry big brother" Ben said "Actually Damon is the big brother, I'm just the second one than Stefan" dad said with a smile "Then you" Stefan said. "Now fly into my arms. Come on. Fly, fly like a bat" Count said opening his arms. "Dad. This is stupid" Vlad said "It's not Vlad" dad said "I agree with Andy, it's not stupid buddy" Uncle Ben said and Uncle Damon and Stefan nodded in agreement. "Exactly. It's fun. Now come on, every young vampire must learn how to fly" Count said "So why haven't you taught me yet?" Ingrid asked.
"Oh Ingrid I've told you, it's because you're a girl" Count said "I'll teach you Ingrid" mum said "Thanks Natasha" Ingrid said. "I'm teaching Lee along with my brothers" dad said "When will Hayley and I learn to fly?" Zack asked in curiosity. "When it's close to your transformation but no doubt your father will give a few lessons here and there" Uncle Damon said "Look I've got to get to school" Vlad said jumping from the table to the ground.
"You did it. You flew" Count said in amazement. "Oh Lee, your mother and I are having a meeting with the school" dad said walking over to me "Why?" I asked putting my pen down looking at my uncles and dad confused. "We're thinking of getting you in a class room, just you so we can teach you in an educated environment" Uncle Stefan said "We know about all the stuff that's happened to you but we all think that it's best if we teach you in a classroom, you can still be with Ingrid, Vlad and your siblings and we can see how you do so maybe we can teach you there in a nice and bright room instead of a dark, scary castle" Uncle Ben said as he and Uncle Damon walked over to me.
So now I was looking up at my uncles and dad "Ok" I said "It's just for a little while. Ben, Stefan and I are still going to stay and be with you but it's just to see how you go and if you don't like it, we'll keep teaching you here" Uncle Damon said. I sighed and looked at my book with all my biology notes in it. "I'll be away from everyone right?" I asked looking at Uncle Stefan than to Uncle Ben and Uncle Damon, scared of what could happen "Yes. Your mum and dad are going to have a meeting with the school. But if it goes well, you will be by yourself with us, one of us will take you to lunch to get food or we'll go get some for you if you don't feel safe" Uncle Stefan said.
"Ooh speaking of which, we should go now" mum said "Alright, good luck" Ben said as mum and dad kissed my head and left the castle. "Now Vlad let's see you flying from up there" Count said pointing from the roof to the ground. We all looked up "Good luck Vlad" Hayley said grabbing her things and putting them in her school bag. "Yeah see you at school" Zack said as he adjusted his bag on his back and left the castle with Hayley. "What? Uh" Vlad said stuttering "Yeah, come on. Let's see you in action" Ingrid said "It's easy Vlad" Uncle Ben said as he and Uncle Damon walked back to their thrones.
"I'd love to but I better not be late for school" Vlad said taking his cape off, muttered a bye, grabbing his stuff, kissing my cheek than leaving. "I wouldn't be treated like this if mum was here" Ingrid said. "Yeah you would" Uncle Damon said flipping through the paper. He looked up and received a cold glare from Ingrid to which he smirked at. "Well she isn't, is she? So tough peasants" Count said turning away with a flip of his cape and headed towards his throne.
Mum and dad came back a half hour later and said that the principal is letting my uncles teach me in a classroom and I am aloud to wear my normal clothes seeing as I'm not enrolled at the school, I am aloud to see Vlad, Ingrid and my siblings etc. and my uncles and even my parents are allowed to be with me all day in case of emergencies.
So right now Uncle Damon were teaching me on Film Studies. We were studying the film Psycho "I used to love this movie. I went and saw it when it first came out" Uncle Ben said putting his feet up on the table. "Feet off the table, Ben" Uncle Damon said walking up and down at the front of the empty classroom with a whiteboard marker in hand, pointing at his younger brother. Uncle Ben put his feet back on the ground and leaned in his chair with arms crossed while I sat in between him and Uncle Stefan. "We are studying the film Psycho and we're studying the themes. So is it about mother-son relationships or is it nature vs nurture of a psycho" Uncle Damon said and I immediately started writing notes.
Now we were at home and my first day was great, i think I'm starting to like having my uncles teach me at a proper school where I'm away from everyone without having the feeling like if I even breathe I'll get either called names, paper thrown at me etc. I was with Vlad, Chloe and Robin as Vlad did his homework with Chloe and I helping him. "So I carry the one, and add up the columns which makes… 3,921" Vlad said writing his answer "Correct" Chloe said "Good job Vlad" I said kissing his cheek "Wow. I never realise doing homework could be so much fun" Vlad said.
"You're joking? I'd rather have my tongue pulled out" Robin said walking over to us when Ingrid and my Uncle Ben walked in "Ooh don't say that when mum gets here Robin" Ingrid said "Best not to give her ideas if she comes over. She won't show up" Uncle Ben said taking a seat next to me and then the rest of my family walked in. "You really believe she's going to turn up? Ben doesn't think so and he's got a point" Vlad said "Well unfortunately Ingrid, we're not going to be here to see her cause we're all going bowling" mum said making pretty much everyone else in my family cheer.
"Your mum has started to want family time every week" dad said with mum on his lap as he sat next to Uncle Ben. Uncle Stefan and Uncle Damon were behind me and Vlad leaning on our chairs. "After all your mum has done to you guys by letting you down. You think she's gonna turn up?" I asked Ingrid. "Mum doesn't care about us. She ran off with a werewolf, get over it" Vlad said looking sadly at his homework. I put my hand on his shoulder "Werewolf? This gets better and better. Is he coming too?" Robin asked "If any werewolf is coming here, it'd only be my old high school mate Derek" dad said. "At least he won't make any mother run off on their husband and family" Uncle Stefan said.
"Great bloke though unlike- what's his face" Uncle Damon said. "Ignore her" Zack said to Robin, meaning Ingrid. "My mum is not coming to stay" Vlad said as a door opened and smoke appeared with Magda walking in. The milk Vlad and Chloe had turned black "Hello darlings" Magda said. She actually showed up. "Alright kids lets go" dad said pushing us all out of the house and saying a 'hello' to Magda without looking at her "Bye Vlad, good luck" I said kissing his cheek and leaving with my family.
We reached the bowling alley, paid and got our bowling balls and shoes. We were at our lane all putting on shoes when dad spoke up "Alright how about your mother and I versus you guys and your favourite uncle?" dad said with a smirk. "That's not fair to the other 2 uncles. If Lee picks Stefan than Damon and Ben would be hurt. Or if Hayley picks Damon or Zack picks Ben" mum said tying her shoes. "Alright: Andy and Nat, Lee and Stefan, Hayley with Ben and me with Zack" Uncle Damon said picking the teams "Cool, lets kick their ass Hay. I mean let's play" Uncle Ben said standing up with Hayley and high fiving each other "Well we got to put the names in" Zack said. "Alright since I'm the oldest I go first" Uncle Damon said moving over to the score board and writing 'Damn-mon' "Really? Damn-mon?" I asked my uncle "What? I'm cool like that" Uncle Damon said as Zack sat down 'Zack Attack'.
"Nice, Zack" I said and my brother just looked at me with the 'Andy' smirk. It was a smirk my dad made a lot whether he was smiling or just being stupid or sarcastic and given my brother looks like a younger version of my dad just suits him better than anyone else in the family. "Alright Lee, sweetie your turn" mum said "Yeah come on Lee Uncle Stefan said as I sat down and wrote 'Har-Lee' on the scoreboard and it came up under Zack's. "Ok" Uncle Stefan said sitting in the seat after I got out and wrote 'Stefan' "Just Stefan? Really Baby Bro?" Uncle Damon said with arms crossed as Uncle Stefan got off the seat and dad sat down writing his and mums 'Andy' and 'Nat'.
"What?" Uncle Stefan said from next to me crossing his arms like his brother. "Supposed to be a fun activity and with fun nicknames on the scoreboard" Uncle Damon said unwrapping his arms and pointing to the screen with our names then crossing his arms again. "Ok then, Hayley: what name?" Uncle Ben said sitting in the seat and wrote 'Ben-dover "Um Hail. H-A-I-L" Hayley said and Uncle Ben wrote 'Hail'. "Let's get started" dad said and everyone sat down "Damon, you're up mate" Uncle Stefan said sitting next to me. We all kinda sat in out teams with dad and mum next to each other (dad's arm around mum), Uncle Stefan and me, Zack and Uncle Damon and lastly Hayley and Uncle Ben. Uncle Damon knocked over 8 then got the spare. "Zack Attack. You're up. Make me proud" Uncle Damon said sitting down in his seat as Zack got up and they high fived.
After a fun night bowling and I and Uncle Stefan winning, we all pretty much crashed. The next morning I was with Vlad, Chloe, Robin, Zack and Hayley having some fresh air. I throwing a football with Zack and Hayley kind of going around form one to the other while still being able to join in the conversation at hand with Vlad. "Right that's it. I've got to get rid of her" Vlad said "You're serious?" Zack and Robin asked Vlad "Yeah she'll ruin everything. Dad's already thrown me out of my room" Vlad said. "Your dad really wants to make her happy" Zack said throwing the ball to Hayley. "It's like the reverse of the influence of males on females" Hayley said throwing the ball to me. "Yeah instead of Magda changing because she's around the Count, Count has changed because of Magda" I said throwing the ball back to my brother.
"There are worse things that could happen" Chloe said "Have you met Vlad's mum?" Zack said as we continued throwing the ball. "It's not just that. She's done it ever since we were little" Vlad said "Shows up" Zack said "Promises the world" Hayley continued "Than leaves" I finished. "I can't go through it again" Vlad said "Hey Chloe what did you say that Count said to Magda?" Hayley asked Chloe. "If he finds hide or hair of the werewolf, she's out the door" Chloe said. "Vlad, don't you get it?" I asked stopping throwing the ball and walked closer to him and he shook his head. "If only you had werewolf hair to plant somewhere in the castle to show the Count" I said trailing off and Hayley and Chloe finished for me.
"And your mum would be gone" they said. We all looked at Zoltan who began stuttering and wheeling off when Vlad ran up to him, caught him and took some hair of Zoltan causing him to howl. I went with Vlad to his parent's room "Werewolf hair? All over the upstairs bathroom" Vlad said holding Zoltan's fur in between is fingers "What?" Count said angrily, glaring at Magda "I'm sorry you had to find this baby" I said with a sad smile on my face as I looked at Vlad "I mean, I don't mind you sneaking your boyfriend in mum but tell him to keep it out of the plughole, yeah?" Vlad said. Magda looked at the Count and shrugged her shoulders.
Vlad and I left with Magda and the Count as Magda kept saying 'but bun-buns' and Count yelled saying to not come back. He threw her suitcase outside then Ingrid and my family came into the room. "Dad, please just give her one more chance" Ingrid said begged and Count stood behind Vlad "And you can give that room back to Vlad" Count said making Vlad smile quickly "What? Just because mum-" Ingrid said. "Betrayed you all again?" I said. "Yeah, I did try and tell you this would happen Ingrid" Vlad said then Magda let out a scream and walked back in with smoke following her and a suitcase in her hand. "Bun-Buns, it's still daylight out there. I mean, where am I supposed to go?" Magda asked.
It was dark out and I was with Hayley helping with her nails, though I'm not very good at it myself but when I went downstairs to get a drink for us both, I saw Vlad looking at the portrait of him and his mum, cleaning it from cobwebs as he did so. "Hey what's wrong?" I asked standing next to him with two water bottles in my hand "Just thinking if I did the right thing" Vlad said "Look if I say so myself, you did the right thing. I mean she's hurt you guys every other time and you've been left with the sadness of what she's caused" I said. When the Count came in and made us jump "So Vlad, now we know the truth. Hello Harley" Count said "Hi Count" I said "Truth? What truth?" Vlad asked "About the werewolf hair. I'm sorry you had to find out about your mother that way" Count said.
"Oh yeah" Vlad said "You defended the family honour and do you know what this family means to me?" Count said as Ingrid showed up with a suitcase in her hand. "Dad, I'm leaving" Ingrid said "Alright cheerio" Count said not taking his eyes off his son to even look at his own daughter "Don't leave Ingrid" I said "I'm not joking either you let mum back or I'm walking" Ingrid said "Ok, oh and Ingrid; close the door when you leave" Count said. "Right you've asked for it, I'm going to the Branaughs at least I'll get some attention there" Ingrid said giving me a quick hug then leaving the castle.
Vlad and I feel asleep in his bed again watching a movie and it was peaceful and quiet with me cuddling Vlad but I felt like there was something or someone in the room. So I woke up and nudged Vlad "Vlad?" I whispered sitting up "What's up Lee?" Vlad asked sitting up next to me and rubbing his eyes "I feel like there's someone or something in here. And it's not Zoltan" I whispered. Vlad turned his light on and we saw his dad standing at the window, looking out but turned his head to us. "Dad? It's the middle of the night" Vlad said "Exactly time for your next flying lesson" Count said than adding a 'come on' as he walked over to Vlad's side of the bed and just looked over us.
"Fly, fly like the wind" Count begged "But dad I can't fly" Vlad said "But I gave you 10 pounds" Count said. "Alright; I lied" Vlad said bracing himself for yelling. "Oh, oh well nevermind. Night Vladdy and Lee" Count said standing up a little. That's strange. "Is that it? Aren't you at least going to say your disappointed?" Vlad asked. It was strange that Count didn't yell or say he's disappointed in Vlad for not being able to fly. "Well how could I? I mean if it wasn't for you finding that werewolf hair, that cheating mother of yours would still be here now. Running her ice cold fingers through my hair like I've seen Lee do when your head's on her lap" Count said. "You really love her, hey Mr Count?" I asked "Love her? Whatever gave you that idea?" Count said. He leaned over to Vlad and kissed his head and then mine "Night Vlad, Harley" Count said then leaving Vlad's room. Vlad looked at me than Zoltan and then his lap before we fell back asleep.
The next day, my uncles and I were walking through the school on the way to my classroom when we saw Ingrid lose her mind and took it out by slamming the lockers shut and yelling. "You alright Ingrid?" Vlad asked as my uncles and I stopped next to her. "Yes!" she yelled "How's mum?" Vlad asked "What do you care?" Ingrid asked "Hey, calm down" Uncle Damon said "Well I just hope she wasn't feeling too guilty, you know? About the werewolf hair and so on" Vlad said. "Mum's fine. Sends her love" Ingrid said with gritted teeth. "Really?" Vlad asked "What do you think?" Ingrid said again with gritted teeth. "See you at lunch Vlad" I said hugging Ingrid quickly "See you at your classroom" he said as we quickly hugged and I left for my classroom.
After class, Vlad met me at my class room a couple of minutes after Uncle Klaus left so he and I could get some lunch which my Uncle Ben said he was picking up McDonalds for us all. And on our way to help Uncle Ben with lunch we stopped past Ingrid drawing on framed photos of the twins with a marker. "So the twins aren't falling at your feet anymore?" I asked "I thought they liked the whole vampire look" Vlad said "They do" Ingrid answered as she continued drawing on the photos without looking at us. "So what's the problem then?" Vlad asked "Your mum?" I asked "Mum is the problem. Wish I never asked her to stay" Ingrid said. "Yeah well I did try and warn you she might be trouble" Vlad said. That statement made Ingrid look at us "Trouble? She's a selfish, heartless old witch. You know what? I'm glad dad chucked her out" Ingrid said looking back at her little masterpieces of the twins photos.
"Really?" Vlad asked "Yeah she deserves everything she gets" Ingrid said and Vlad looked sad again. "So, if for example it turned out I hadn't actually found werewolf hair in the plughole" Vlad trailed off "Vlad? Did you or did you not find werewolf hair in the plughole?" Ingrid asked as she threw the marker over her shoulder and getting up in her brother's face. "Not as such" Vlad said chuckling a little then noticed no one was laughing "No" he said and Ingrid grabbing his shirt and pulled him closer to her so she was more up in his face. "You little maggot" Ingrid said "Put him down Ingrid" I said.
"Well no. It's like you said, it's a good thing it happened. She was bound to leave us sooner or later" Vlad said and Ingrid put him down back on the ground. "But what if it had worked out this time? We could have been happy together, like Lee's family" Ingrid said and Vlad just looked at the ground then me looking sad. "I know. I messed up. I'm sorry" Vlad apologised. "Maybe there's a way we could fix it" Ingrid said smirking "Alright we'll I'm going to get lunch and I'll meet you back in my classroom" I said to Vlad and kissing his cheek before leaving.
I kinda stayed out of everything with Vlad and his mum but now we were all getting ready for a vampire wedding! Count and Magda I mean. "I can't believe this. Mum's going to stay forever. It's like a fantastic dream" Vlad said as all us kids got ready in front of a mirror including Robin. While Chloe helped Hayley as Chloe was in normal clothes. "A nightmare more like. Vlad wake up, your mum's up to something. I'm sure of it" Chloe said. "Chloe don't interfere. It's my big day" Robin said making us all look at him "I mean Vlad's big day" Robin corrected as mum and Magda walked in. "Now, how do we look?" Magda asked pointing to her and mum before putting her hands on her hips "Cool" Robin said while Vlad and Ingrid smiled and my siblings and I said they looked great.
I could tell mum was faking it cause she doesn't really like Magda for many reasons that she'd rather not get into. Count came in with my dad and uncles with a ringing phone and he said it was for Magda and it was someone called 'Vermin Busters' which Magda claimed was the DJ. When Magda left the males of the house walked over to us and mum adjusted dad's cape. "My handsome husband" mum said smiling up at dad as she continued fixing the cape. "My beautiful wife" dad said looking at mum with a smile and then wrapping an arm around her, he gave her a kiss. "Are we lady killers?" Uncle Damon said to all of us pointing to him, Uncle Stefan and Uncle Ben. "Yes and not just by the outfit" Zack said Uncle Stefan chuckled and the Ben and Damon looked at each other, offended.
We were just about to start the wedding. The music was playing, Reinfield was going to marry the couple so he was out the front, dad and my uncles were standing beside Count along with Vlad and mum, Ingrid, Hayley and I were at the back waiting for Magda while the direwolves were with Zoltan being adorably perfect and still and lastly Rose playing the 'here comes the bride' tune on the piano. Then after a minute or 2 Magda arrived and Ingrid handed her the flowers and then walked over to mum, Hayley and I and helped us lift the back of her dress so she doesn't trip. And we began to walk down with Magda down the aisle. When Magda reached the Count we all stood on either side of the couple as Reinfield began the ceremony.
"You're faking the smile aren't you mum?" I asked whispering to my mum "Yep, just smile" mum whispered back. I tuned out the whole thing by just thinking about random crap but I broke out of that when Vlad ran back into the room. I didn't know he was gone if I'm honest. He said to stop the wedding. "Stop the wedding. She doesn't love you" Vlad said "Nonsense Vlad of course she loves me. She sent that ghastly animal to prove it" Count said. "No she didn't. It was me and Ingrid" Vlad said. Wait, what 'ghastly animal'? I must have missed the memo. "Shut it Vlad" Ingrid hissed at her brother. "So the kids got us back together. Who cares? I still love you darling" Magda said and the Count just sighed "That's good enough for me. Reinfield; carry on" Count demanded.
"My wayward son" I mumbled earning a little laugh from dad, Uncle Stefan and Uncle Damon while Uncle Ben didn't know what I meant. "Alright. Fine. But if she loves you, how come she's still getting calls from Patrick?" Vlad asked. We were all curious and then Vlad played one. "Hey princess, Wolfie here. Just wanted to say good luck with getting your hands on the castle. Anyway I'm just having my back waxed. Ow! I'll see you tonight for a celebration. Awoo" Patrick said then he howled over the phone and everyone looked at Magda "What?" she said as if she didn't know why we were looking at her as she looked at us then the Count who was death glaring her. "Some people have no sense of humour" she said walking away and stopped in front of Vlad, grabbing her phone while she was there. Yeah cause that's hilarious, getting caught by your own son in your plan to take the castle for you and your bloody hairy boyfriend.
"Come on Ingrid. Let's go to Monte Carlo. Natasha, Harley, Hayley your welcome to" Magda said and my sister, mum and I shook our heads. "What to live with you and Patrick? No way. I mean, dad's a pain in the neck but at least he doesn't molt" Ingrid said. Rose and Reinfield grabbed Magda's stuff and handed it to her. "Bye mum" Vlad said. "Bye darlings. I'll see you soon" Magda said blowing a kiss than leaving us standing in the centre of the aisle. "Oh god I hope not" Uncle Stefan said earning small smile from Ingrid and laughter from my family, Vlad, Robin and Chloe and an actual laugh from Count.
