It was the twin's third day living with the Dracula's and Vlad had three presents for them. He walked into their room.

"Hey y-"Vlad began to say before he was interrupted by his little siblings.

"GET OUT! How many times do we have to tell you to knock!" Amelia and Daniel shouted at the same time. Vlad sighed he was already tried of his four-teen-year-old brother and sister telling him to knock every time he went in their room. It was mostly his house after all, but he knew all they wanted was a bit of privacy in their own room, so he went back into the corridor and knocked on the door. "Come in!" Amelia sighed as Vlad walked into the room for a second time. This time when he walked in he saw that the twins were drawing on a piece of A3 paper, from what he could see they had finished drawing Ingrid and had started drawing Vlad's body, from the other things he could see it looked like Vlad was going to be standing next to Ingrid and the backgrounds looked a lot like the airport where he and the twins first met.

"Hey you guys" Vlad started to say as the twins exchanged looks. "I've got you some welcome-to-your-new-home-presents." Vlad told the twins as he put down the three cuboid boxes on the floor in front of Daniel and Amelia's drawing. The presents were wrapped in red and black stripped paper (no ribbon) and of course Vlad would have chosen a different colour if there were any other colour wrapping paper in the house. "Open them then!" Vlad ordered his twin siblings as politely as he could. The twins took the present from the top of the pile, which on the top it said 'To Amelia and Daniel' so they placed it between them and began to tear the paper. They saw that inside was a brand-new set of paints!

"Brill-mazing!" Amelia yelled excitedly.

"This is the best present EVER!" Daniel told Vlad.

"Thank you!" the twins said at the same time then going to the other two presents thinking that they were going to be as good as the first one (they really weren't). The second gift said 'To Amelia' so Daniel looked at the third gift which said 'To Daniel' so the twins opened the second and third gift at the same time. The twins found that their boxes had the exact same things inside. There was plain white shirt, a plain grey jumper, and plain black trousers and plain dark grey shoes. The twins definitely did not like this gift at all.

"Is this what I think is?!" Amelia asked Vlad.

"If you're thinking that it's a school uniform then the answer is yes." replied Vlad.

"And you think you're so funny putting them into present boxes!" commented Daniel sarcastically.

"I thought that you two would love to go school!" Vlad replied. "You did go to school in Transylvania, didn't you?" He asked.

"Yes we did. BUT in Transylvania we weren't the only Vampires in the school!" Amelia shot back.

"And these clothes are so ugly!" Daniel commented again, holding the jumper at arm's length and pulled a disgusted face as Amelia copied her brother.

"Me and Ingrid both had to wear that uniform." Vlad began to say. "That one used to mine (pointed at Daniel's uniform) and that one used to be Ingrid's (pointed at Amelia's uniform)." He told the twins.

"Ew!" the twins yelled as they threw the jumpers back into the box like they had just found that the jumpers was full germs that could kill!

"Oh for bat sake!" snapped Vlad at his sibling's immaturity. "Unless..." Vlad started to say as he slowly calmed down. "...you can find a sensible reason not to start school next Monday in the next 5 seconds then you will start school Monday at the beginning of the new term! Which is a week away!" Vlad informed the twins, then there was silence for 5 seconds which Vlad used to walk to the door. "Right then, school on Monday it is." Vlad told his siblings as he left the room.

"Brill-mazing." Amelia said sarcastically.

"This is the worst present EVER!" Daniel snapped, looking down at his uniform in disgust. "Why didn't you tell him?!" asked Daniel, who was angered by his twin sister, because if she did tell Vlad then he wouldn't allow her to go school then he could of played along and say he had that problem too then neither of the twins would have to go school on Monday, wearing second-hand school uniform.

"I don't know what you mean, brother." Amelia lied, she knew what Daniel was talking about all right, but in the U.K. it was embarrassing they hardly knew Vlad anyway, surely Daniel understood that. "Fill this with water." Amelia told her brother giving him a pot from the paint set, trying to change the subject but Daniel wasn't fooled.

"Don't try and change the subject! And you know what I am talking about!" Daniel insisted loudly as he took the pot and got up to do what his sister said and left the room. While he was gone Amelia thought to herself. 'Me and Daniel only found out that Vlad existed a week ago and five days ago found out that he was the Chosen One. We hardly know Vlad and surly Daniel knows that I'll find it humiliating now we have moved to England and should understand why I don't want to tell Vlad!' As Amelia thought this of her mean, horrible and non-understanding of her twin. Also as she thought this she was laying out old newspapers so that they wouldn't get paint on the floor. Then Daniel walked in, with the pot filled with water and spoke as soon as he entered the room.

"So are you going to tell Vlad or not." Daniel asked, as he sat down and started to paint. His question made his sister's stop mid air as she going to get a pain-brush and making Amelia's pale face go pink in rage. Suddenly, Amelia yelled at her brother:

"NO DANIEL, I'M NOT, GOING TO TELL VLAD!" luckily Amelia's yelling was not loud enough for anyone downstairs to hear (which was all of the Dracula's). "You know that I have never told anyone who I didn't already know!" Amelia told Daniel calming down but still angered by her brother who was younger than Amelia by two hours. "Why can't you understand that I find it embarrassing now that we are in England!" she said trying to get her brother to understand her.

"Amelia, you telling Vlad your secret isn't just so we get out of school it is so you don't get teased when people finally find out." Said Daniel reacting as calm as he could.

"It isn't that bad. I could still manage at school." Amelia said almost like she was guessing her own future.

"Oh for bat sake!" Daniel snapped. "Can you hear yourself Amelia!" He commented rudely. "Do I need to say it out loud so you understand?" Daniel asked rudely saying his next sentence with waiting for an answer. "You cannot read or write in English! Simple as." he said as Amelia hoped no-one heard Daniel say her secret and a flow of anger went through her dead veins, but she didn't yell at her brother. Amelia didn't see the point in yelling about this subject anymore.

"That...is a total over reaction to the truth and you know it is...I can read and write in English it is just the really hard words I can't write and the really complex sentences I cannot read in English. Okay!" Amelia calmly told her brother.

"Seriously Amelia, you can't go to school!" Amelia's brother snapped.

"Well that is just your opinion!" Amelia shot back.

The Next Day which was a Saturday...

"What the bats do you mean me and Amelia have to take a test?" Daniel asked Vlad angrily, as he walked out his bedroom, with Vlad.

"The school needs to see how good you are in Maths English and Science." answered Vlad.

"All you said was that we were starting school this Monday! You said nothing about a THREE hour long test!" Amelia told her eldest brother as she followed both of her brothers as they walked to the dining room.

"It is the headmaster's new rules. If you don't start the school at the beginning of year 7 then you have to do a test for hour each of English, Maths and Science." Vlad told this sister and brother as they entered the dining room.

"Well it is a stupid rule!" the twins shouted together.

"Just sit down, and eat your breakfast!" Vlad told his half siblings, as he sat down.

"Whatever!" the twins said as they sat down themselves and saw their breakfast. It was cockroaches and magnets in cream-again!

"On second thoughts . . . I think I would rather eat mud!" said Daniel.

"Me too!" Amelia copied.

"Trying to eat here, you little brats!" said the Count, who was going off his food.

"Get a hair-cut!" shouted the twins, as they got up to go to the kitchen to make some proper food. And left the count feeling his hair and asked Vlad over and over about his hair.

Just before The Test...

"Hello I'm the Headmaster." Mr. Friday told the twins.

"We figured!" the twins said rudely.

"And you two must be Daniel and Amy. Sit down please." told the twins.

"I don't like being called Amy!" Amelia said angrily at the headmaster, Amelia always got angry when people called her Amy. The twins sat down anyway.

"Sorry . . . Amelia." he said as he placed a year nine English test paper on the table. "You have one hour to complete the test starting . . . know!" Mr. Friday told the twins.
