Young Dracula season 2: Outtakes

Okay I'm finally on the double numbered Outtakes. I'm going to try and write as much as I can but I do have a lot of homework - naturally - so I may fall even further behind but that shouldn't affect you... hopefully.

Sorry this has been so long. I've fallen ill so I'm lagging in outtakes, hopefully I will be better by tomorroe so I can start writing again.

What do you think of the book cover?
I don't own Young Dracula.

Sudden death - based between episodes 5 and 6

It was late Wednesday afternoon in Stokely, the streets were quiet and shops were preparing to close after quickly shifting through the last minute shoppers who had forgotten things when going on their big shop.
The only area of Stokely that didn't seem silent was the rugby ground where the rugby team for Stokely Grammar school trained.
The boys weren't playing just training lightly in preparation for a match the following week. As it got darker the stands of students watching left leaving only one dedicated young man cheering on his best friend.
Robin Branagh may not love playing rugby or even watching it at the best of times. But never his best friend was training or playing he went out of his way to ensure he could watch.
Luckily for Robin as the team mascot - a mascot who refused to wear the stupid costume - could go with the team to their away games meaning a day free of lessons and just watching people train and play all day. The Welsh took their rugby very seriously.
Robin smiled leaning over the barrier covering the stands eagerly watching as Vlad his best mate scored his first ever try.
Robin cheered happily seeing the broad grin on Vlad's face which happened to be covered in filth.

The training ended on that happy note which allowed Robin to spirit down from the stands and run straight to the field to congratulate his best friend.
Vlad was still grinning like an idiot when Robin ran up to him and said.
"Nice one mate."
"Thanks," Vlad responded smiling on the outside but dreading going home on the inside.
Once Vlad was back in his uniform the two started the long walk to the castle at the top of the uppermost hill of Stokely.
The boys spent about ten minutes of their walk talking about the match, Robin gave Vlad advice on what he was doing incorrectly and Vlad told Robin about the other mostly older members of the team and what they were good at.
Vlad was one of the youngest members of the team, he had got in not through skill that had been passed down like some of the others but through determination to get where he wanted and in this case it worked. It showed how people got what they deserved when they worked hard. Although luck does have an element in it too because so far for Vlad despite his hardest efforts he still didn't manage to get out of being a vampire.
Vlad knew well that if the opposing team knew he was. Vampire they would back off immediately and they would win. But that was technically cheating and Vlad despised cheating.
Robin looked at his best friend. In the past few months he had gotten taller, stronger looking and more mature not to mention acting more mature. Robin just couldn't figure out how Vlad could have changed so fast.
"Vlad, can I ask you something?" Robin asked hesitantly worried about offending his only friend.
Vlad nodded. "Sure,"
"How come in the past few months you've changed so much and I don't mean just physically but the way you act is slightly different you're like more independent." Robin pointed out.
Vlad laughed at his friend quietly not wanting to offend him either.
"I forget you don't know as much about us as you make out." Vlad sighed. "The physical change that seems to have happened overnight is normal, we don't progress like you do, we go in stages sometimes changing practically overnight without even noticing, usually something happens beforehand like growing pains to give warning, problem was I've had it three times and I didn't notice it the most recent time till I looked in the mirror you know the day after the hint ball. I guess I was too busy planning and stuff." Vlad shrugged. Robin remembered that day, he had almost thought Vlad was someone else he looked so different. (Every time a new season has started I haven't recognised Vlad until they say his name, hopefully I won't have that problem for season 4!)
"I almost thought you were someone else," Robin shook his head. "Chloe was not impressed to see how much you had grown."
"I'm guessing it scared her." Vlad said.
Robin nodded. "Damn straight. It was bad enough us all being killed but seeing you come closer to them overnight like that terrified her. Thing is she knows well that you are you, physically you may be more mature and you may act more mature but you are still the same Vladimir Dracula who I met when I got into your bedroom by climbing through the window."
Vlad laughed remembering. "I can't say I blame Chloe; it is strange how one minute you are one way then," Vlad clicked his fingers in a non hypnotic gesture. "Suddenly you hardly recognise the person in the mirror. As for the attitude changes that's just maturity I guess I have no other explanation for it."
Robin nodded understandingly. "So has Ingrid been through the same."
Vlad nodded. "It happens when a vampire is eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen. It can hit any time the pain of growing is the only warning. The changes are more prominent in the first three changes."
"So you're really through the worst of it." Robin realised.
"Exactly," Vlad said. "Which I have to say is a total relayed although I think I will change a bit because I'm a lot more active than the average vampire so that will have an effect too."
Robin shook his head. "Vampire changes are so complicated."
Vlad then burst out laughing. "You're telling me! I'm the one who has to go through with them every year until I go through the transformation."
Robin smiled at that glad that even though he believed Vlad would at least be partly evil that he had to opportunity to meet him and learn about real vampires.

I think this one is long I can't tell because I am not writing this on my laptop.
I got the ideas from this by remembering about the massive change in Vlad between season 1 and 2, of course we know it's because Gerran is a year older but I thought maybe there could be a vampiric explanation and with me being me and loving the episode of vampire rugby (episode 10 of Season 1 to you) I decided to intermingle that in too and made it a Wednesday because those kind of events for me are always done on Wednesdays.
Anyhow enough blabbering, thank you to Muse and Depeche Mode for inspiring this because those two bands are awesome!
Thank you for reading and please review.
