Disclaimer: I do not own the time travelling coffin or the idea of it. I do not own the world war two ideas. I do not own Young Dracula or its characters. I do not own the German, English or other armies. I do not own anything! I only own my dear Gwynnovere, Sarah and Gregg.

Chapter 9: To escape or not to escape.
Gwynn, Vlad, Jeremy, George, Carl, Gregg and Sarah were looking at the fire, panic obvious in their eyes.
Gwynn: What are we gonna do now?
George: Can't you use your vampire powers to break free?
Gregg and Sarah's eyes widened as they heard them.
Sarah: They know?
Gregg: You told them?
Vlad: Yeah, they know.
Gwynn: We've been sharing a tent with them. It would be kind of hard to keep it a secret.
Vlad ignored that comment as did the soldiers and Gregg and Sarah.
Jeremy: So these two know your secret as well?
Vlad: Yeah. They're our neighbours. I've known them longer than I've known Gwynn.
Gwynn, Gregg and Sarah nodded in agreement to that statement.
Vlad: And no, we can't break free. It's Argentillium. It weakens vampires.
Gwynn: Everybody stop chatting! This is not the time, nor the place!
Although the vampires had taken their guns, they had missed one. Jeremy's wasn't too far from his feet. He stamped on one end, making it stand up straight. He quickly pulled the trigger shooting a bullet into the air. He turned his chair around as the bullet came down and it broke his chains. Everyone looked really impressed at this. Jeremy stood up and picked up his gun. He shot Gwynn's; Vlad's, George's and Carl's chains off and then went over to Gregg and Sarah to untie them. Gregg and Sarah were coughing now, along with the other humans, except for Jeremy. Gwynn and Vlad were very burnt as they were vampires and fire was a weakness for them. The soldiers grabbed their guns from the table in the room and then they all got out of the cave as fast as they could, all collapsing to the ground when they were out. Gwynn and Vlad were now unconscious. The others were worried about them and frowned as they saw the vampires' burns and states of unconsciousness. The soldiers looked at their bag of supplies and saw that it was too burnt and wasn't salvageable. Luckily, the guns were still intact. Carl shook his head sadly and threw the bag away.
Carl: We need more supplies.
Jeremy: The nearest place is German territory. We'll never survive that.
Gregg and Sarah: We'll help.
George: Thanks, but we're going to need more help.
Carl: Gwynn and Vlad are no use right now.
Jeremy: Are they ok?
Gregg: Not so much.
Carl: Strange for you to ask, Jer.
Jeremy just shrugged. The other two soldiers chuckled lightly at this.
Sarah: They need blood.
Gregg: And then they will be.
Carl: Well, I see. Any volunteers?
They all looked at Carl. He put his hands up in surrender.
Carl: I ain't doing it.
They all turned to look at Gregg and Sarah.
Gregg: Don't look at us. I mean, I love them but there are limits.
Sarah: Gregg! If they don't get blood, they'll die.
Jeremy: I'll do it.
They all looked shocked as Jeremy said this.
George: Are you sure Jer? I know you don't like 'em.
Jeremy: That's alright George. I want to. I think the leeches have kind of grown on me.
Just then, Gwynn's eyes opened and they were a shocking blood red. They all gasped as they saw this.
Sarah: Don't go near her.
George: Why? She's just Gwynn. She won't harm us.
Sarah: She's new at being a vampire. She hasn't mastered control yet. The bloodlust will be too strong and she will attack you just because you have blood running through your circulation. She won't care who you are. Not in that moment. She's hungry.
Their eyes widened as that processed through their heads. They all turned to look at Gwynn. She stood up in a blur of motion, looking ready to pounce. Her fangs were showing, and her fangs paired with her red eyes made her look menacing. All the humans began to back away. The soldiers raised their guns and aimed them at her. Gwynn lunged for Jeremy, who was closest. Carl and George shot her but to no avail. Gwynn bit into Jeremy's neck and began to drain him. Vlad woke up then. His eyes were blood red as well and he rushed towards Jeremy. The others thought he was going for Jeremy and tried to stop him, but Vlad just pried Gwynn off him and pinned her against a wall, until she calmed down and her eyes went back to normal and her fangs retracted. Vlad let go of her now, his eyes had already turned back to normal and he had not shown fangs. Vlad collapsed to his knees, still very week. Jeremy was on the ground now, unconscious. Gwynn looked over to him, horrified at what she'd done. She also sank to her knees. The others looked at her with wary eyes. The soldiers obviously didn't trust her now, and who could blame them.
Gwynn: I'm sorry.
She said softly.
Gwynn: I'm so so sorry.
She shook her head in disgust at what she'd done. No-one said anything. Carl checked on Jeremy and checked his pulse.
Carl: He's alive.
Vlad: He'll be ok. She didn't drain that much.
Carl and George just nodded.
Gregg: You look weak, man.
He commented at Vlad. Vlad nodded, specks of red in his eyes.
Vlad: I am. I need blood.
George and Carl raised their guns at him.
George: You're not gonna go all beasty on us, are ya?
Vlad shook his head.
Vlad: No.
They just nodded and lowered their guns.
Vlad: But I need blood.
They all looked at each other. They were all reluctant to give blood having seen Gwynn with Jeremy. Sarah rolled her eyes.
Sarah: Oh for goodness sake, I'll do it.
She went up to Vlad and offered him her wrist. He pushed it away and shook his head.
Vlad: No. I can't drink human blood. Not now.
Sarah: Vlad. You need it.
He shook his head again.
Vlad: No!
He looked down at the floor.
Vlad: You don't know what I could become.
Gregg: Vlad, mate, you won't become anything.
Vlad met their eyes and looked into them.
Vlad: But-
Sarah: Vlad, you'll die.
Vlad nodded, accepting that and hesitantly bit into Sarah's wrist, really afraid that his evil self would take over if he drank human blood. As soon as Vlad was finished, he let go of her wrist and his eyes turned blood red. He fell to the ground, looking like he was struggling. It appeared as if he was fighting with himself. Suddenly, it was obvious that one side had won , and, he stood up in a blur of motion. His fangs extended and he laughed evilly. Sarah instantly backed away from him, knowing what was happening as he had told Gregg, Sarah and Gwynn about the times he had turned bad. Gregg also realised what was happening. The soldiers hadn't. Gwynn looked up at him, not realising what was going on either. Vlad tilted his head to the side.
Gwynn: Vlad?
He turned to face her.
Vlad: Vlad's not here right now.
With that he grinned and flashed off. They all just looked at each other in shock. Gwynn slowly stood up.
Gwynn: He's gone bad again, hasn't he?
She asked Gregg and Sarah, her eyes beginning to water. Gregg and Sarah just nodded solemnly.
Carl: What does that mean.
Sarah: It means he's not going to help us.
The soldiers still look confused, but just nodded, accepting this. Just then, Jeremy woke up. He slowly sat up, rubbing at his neck. He glared at Gwynn. She winced and bit her lip as she saw the bite mark. Jeremy then looked at all of them, noticing Vlad was missing.
Jeremy: What did I miss?
Carl: Well Vlad's gone bad on us and we need to go get supplies.
George: And it's German territory. So we'd probably need a vampire.
Gregg: What about Gwynn.
They all looked at Gregg, then looked at Gwynn, and then went back to discussing what they should do.
Jeremy: Well that's out of the question. We'll have to go in ourselves.
The soldiers all nodded in agreement. They then grabbed their guns and started to head off together. They looked back at Gregg and Sarah who were just standing there.
Carl: Well? You coming?
Gregg and Sarah looked from the soldiers to Gwynn.
Sarah: But-
Jeremy: But what?
Sarah shook her head.
Sarah: Never mind.
She and Gregg then followed the soldiers out, sending back a look that said 'sorry. What can you do?'. Gwynn just nodded in understanding as she watched the five of them leave. After they had left, she sank down against the wall, feeling alone and disgusted at herself. She was worried about the soldiers and Gregg and Sarah. She was also worried about Vlad. She wondered what was going to happen now. Her burns had all healed by now. She sat there, alone, and feeling sorry for herself.

Meanwhile, Gregg, Sarah, Jeremy, George and Carl were going it alone. They were outside the gates of the German safe haven where they needed to go to get supplies. There were two guards at the gate. The five of them were hiding behind a bush a few metres away from the gate, trying to come up with a plan to get into the place without the three British soldiers being recognised as British soldiers.
George: So? What do we do now?
Carl: We need to figure out a way to get in there without being recognised.
Jeremy: But how?
Sarah: We could steal their disguises.
Carl: Great idea!
George: But how are we going to get them?
They all frowned, deep in thought about that. Jeremy rolled his eyes, and, whilst the others were chatting, he just walked straight up to the guards. They all stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Jeremy in shock. They put their guns up when they saw the British authenticity of his uniform, but, before they could do anything, Jeremy conked their heads together and they fell to the floor unconscious. Another soldier was exiting the gate and his eyes widened as he saw Jeremy and the soldiers on the floor. He went to shoot Jeremy, but, like the other, Jeremy punched him and knocked him unconscious before he could do anything. Jeremy then dragged the three unconscious German soldiers behind the bush to where the others were. They were all looking at him in shock.
Carl: You could just do that.
Carl commented. They all laughed at this and then the three soldiers got changed into German uniforms, leaving their uniforms behind the bush. Gregg and Sarah didn't need to get changed as they were civilians and were dressed as such. Gregg looked at his and Sarah's clothes.
Gregg: I think we're good. Innocent civilians and all that.
The three soldiers just nodded in agreement. They all then came out from behind the bush and walked into the German refuge. None of the soldiers spoke to them, or questioned their appearance, which was good. Though they did give odd looks to Sarah and Gregg who were dressed in normal civilian, if futuristic attire. Gregg was wearing a powder blue t-shirt with the word 'chillax' on it written in big, bold black letters. He paired it with grey faded distressed jeans and black skater trainers. His blonde hair fell loosely around his face and he had a glint in his blue eyes. Sarah was wearing a form fitting dark green tank top paired with a striped blue and white cardigan. She also wore a white tutu with black leggings underneath. Her shoes were flat white sandals. Her blonde hair came down just past her shoulders and her brown eyes shone in the moonlight. They came to a building that said 'Nahrungszufuhren (rationiert)' . Carl pointed to the sign and whispered to the rest of them.
Carl: What do you suppose that means?
The other soldiers and Gregg looked at him and shrugged. Sarah examined the sign and then spoke in a tone that sounded like she was impressed with herself.
Sarah: It means Food Supplies, rationed.
They all looked at her and blinked in shock. Except for Gregg, who knew what a know it all his sister could be sometimes. He just rolled his eyes and crossed his arms casually.
George: Then that's where we need to go.
They all nodded and stopped whispering, heading towards the building. They stopped in front of the two guards there. The guards looked them up and down, looked oddly at Gregg and Sarah, but then stood aside to let them through anyway. The five of them let out a breath they didn't know they were holding and went into the building. Inside, they found lots of fruit and vegetables and salad ingredients and any foods that could be found from nature. There were also bottles of water. It didn't look too appetising to Gregg and Sarah. To them the food looked mouldy and old and trodden on. And the water was murky and brown. The soldiers looked very excited by all the food and drink there. But the two from the future guessed that this was probably because things were hard in times of war. They all took a sack and started filling it to the brim with supplies. There was also ammo and guns there, which was strange to store with food. They shrugged it off and also filled their sacks with ammo and Gregg and Sarah grabbed a gun each. A soldier was eyeing them curiously. Unlike other soldiers they'd seen here, this one had a Japanese military uniform on. He had short black hair, tanned skin and dark narrowed brown eyes. Once they had filled their bags, the Japanese soldier shouted at them.
Japanese soldier: 停止! これは配給されています! が多すぎています! に戻します!
(Translation: Stop! It is rations! You are taking too much! Put it back!)
The others looked at each other in total confusion.
Gregg: Sarah? You have any idea what he's saying?
He whispered to Sarah. She shook her head.
Sarah: No. I only speak German not Japanese.
She whispered back. He smirked.
Gregg: Not such a know it all then are you?
He whispered. Sarah gave him a harsh glare.
Sarah: This is not the time or the place!
She whispered back harshly. When they didn't do what the soldier asked of them, he cocked his gun and aimed it at them. Their eyes widened.
Jeremy: What do we do?
He whispered.
Sarah: Run.
Shouted Sarah and they picked up their sacks and ran out the building. The Japanese soldier followed them out of the building, firing at them as he went.
Japanese soldier: それらを停止! が多すぎる供給しています! と私はそれらをませんの一つにと考えています。 Go! それらをカットオフにしてください! すぐに!
(Translation: Stop them! They are taking too many supplies! And I believe them not to be one of us! Go! Cut them off! Quickly!)
He then repeated in German for the benefit of the German soldiers there. As there were only Japanese and German soldiers there, he didn't need to repeat it in any other language but those two.
Japanese soldier: Stoppen Sie sie! Sie nehmen zu viel Versorgungen! Und ich glaube ihnen, um einer von uns nicht zu sein! Gehen Sie! Schneiden Sie sie ab! Schnell!
(Translation: Stop them! They are taking too many supplies! And I believe them not to be one of us! Go! Cut them off! Quickly!)
The German and Japanese soldiers quickly cut off all the exits, running towards the intruders. The soldiers were firing at them. The team of five got out their guns and aimed them but their guns were quickly shot out of their hands, away from reach, one by one. They were surrounded. They were trapped.

Dun dun dun! Another cliff-hanger! I know, I know. I'm addicted to them. I was debating to do this cliff-hanger for this chapter or a later one I had planned, but I think that will now happen next chapter. Sorry for any inaccuracies. Ya know it's funny. When I first started writing this series it was pretty bad. It was very short, not very detailed and not all that emotional to start with. I think I've come a very long way since this. You just have to compare the first in this series to this one and you can see that. What do you guys think? Also, I had an idea for this story but after that was written down I was just winging it and just typing whatever came to mind. I don't really have a set goal for the end of this story, except for whether or not they get back home. What? I/'m not telling yet. You have to read to find out. Ok, so I was winging it, but now, I actually know what's happening next chapter before I write it! Whoo! So. Please read, review, and tune in next chapter to find out what happens. Love you x
