Young Dracula Season 1 – Outtakes

I don't own Young Dracula.

Home – based between episodes 2 and 3 of season 1

The Count was perched on his throne talking quietly with his son who was sat on the armrest of the Count's throne.

That was when Vlad's friends the siblings Chloe and Robin came in.

"Hey Vlad," they both chimed.

"We let ourselves in hope you don't mind," Robin said.

"Of course not," Both Vlad and the Count said.

"I don't mind dinner coming to me," the Count said leaning forward hunger in his eyes.

"Dad!" Vlad snapped. "Friends aren't food." He reminded his father the words he'd said a million times over the past fortnight like a mantra.

"I was joking Vladdy," the Count said smirking as he saw Chloe cower slightly and slide slightly behind her brother for protection.

"Of course you were," Vlad muttered sarcastically. Vlad got off his Dad's throne's armrest and approached his friend's. "Come on, let's go to my room."
When they finally got to Vlad's room, they scattered round, sitting where they could.

Vlad sat cross-legged on his bed, Chloe on a chest by Vlad's mirror and Robin on a stool by the door.

"So…" Robin tried to break the tension. What's wrong with your Dad today? He seems a little…"

"Thirsty," Vlad suggested.

"Irritated." Chloe corrected Vlad. Vlad shrugged.

"When he's hungry he's like that, he gets really bad tempered with anyone, well, anyone except but me." Vlad shook his head remembering the number his father had put up when he hadn't had any blood over a period of time. "That's not the real problem though."

"What is then?" The siblings asked.

"Dad's a little homesick; he's never been away from Transylvania for so long in over a century. He misses it and he says 'the peasants here aren't the same'." Vlad rolled his eyes at his father's obvious statement.

"You don't think you'll be going back, will you?" Robin asked worried that he would lose his first and best friend.

"Nah," Vlad said seeming relaxed. "He's too scared of facing an angry peasant mob again."

"You're Dad is scared?" Robin burst out laughing, Chloe smiled and Vlad smiled slightly.

"Careful, I wouldn't say that too loud or Dad will have your throats," Vlad told them half joking half serious, the siblings immediately looked worried and sighed with relief when they saw the amused look on Vlad's face. "I wouldn't let him do that."

"Why did they chase you out other than you being vampires?" Chloe asked curiously. Vlad hadn't had the chance to tell either of them yet why they had left fully.

"Basically because Dad went off on a killing spree; he drained all the village elders, which the local people didn't really appreciate," Vlad admitted. "Dad calls it a 'misunderstanding' I call it the screw up of the century." Vlad shook his head at his father's stupidity. "I think really it was Mum's fault, she had just left us, again and Dad was bad tempered so when the elders insulted Dad he went barmy."

"Ouch," Robin said sympathetically, Chloe just looked astonished.

"Yeah so we moved here," Vlad shrugged.

"Do you miss it?" Robin wondered.

"Transylvania?" Vlad asked, and Robin nodded. "No way! I love it here. I think really we all do. It's more like home than our old castle and we lived there longer. Transylvania never felt right to me."

"Maybe you were destined to come here," Robin suggested jokingly. (I added this because in the last episode of season 2 the Grand High Vampire he seems to suggest that Vlad was destined from the start to go to Stokely and then make the sacrifice he did to show he was the Chosen One)

"Maybe," Vlad agreed smiling.

I would like to show my appreciation again to the band Depeche Mode. This time for their song called Home. It inspired me to talk a little about Transylvania from Vlad's perspective and make the Count look more breather like than he lets on along with by talking about first friends in the song giving me the opportunity to explore Vlad's friendship with Chloe and Robin.
