Young Dracula Season 3: Outtakes

I remember when I first did this outtake, I had to rewatch the episode. At the time it seemed a big deal, now its not so much because I am always rewatching the episodes to make up for the fact there is no season 6

I actually like this outtake so it may not change all that much.

I don't own YD.

Changes – based during episode 1 of season 3

Erin pulled over at the nearest petrol station.

"Why are you stopping?" Ingrid asked, sounding irritated, between coughs.

"Because I don't know where Garside Grange is and we need fuel." Erin then jumped out of the car opening the boot silently passing her brother a vial of serum, saw him fall asleep and shut the boot.

Then she felt someone next to her.

She looked next to her to see Vladimir Dracula, or the Chosen One as she knew him.

"You don't know where the school is don't you?" Vlad said knowingly, a slight smile on his face.

Erin shook her head trying not to let her fear show, part of her was screaming that this was wrong and part of her felt comfortable around him, he seemed to have a soothing presence - for a vampire.

Vlad smiled kindly. "I forgot to introduce myself..." Vlad looked around to see she had stopped at a fuel station that was closed. "I'm Vlad Dracula, the woman you have in their is my sister Ingrid Dracula. You are?"

"Erin," Erin replied quietly. "Erin Noble."

Vlad continued smiling. "Nice to meet you Erin," Erin could see Vlad genuinely meant it... he seemed different... "Thank you."

"For what?" Erin asked turning to him as she headed to the driver's side door.

"Saving my sister," Vlad said gravely. "I was going to get her but with the sunlight... I'm guessing you're a half fang."

Erin nodded and pulled down the scarf around her neck and showed Vlad her "bite" marks. "I haven't fully changed yet, but I managed to get my car to have UV filtered windows to protect me."

Vlad nodded. "Well thank you, you've saved my sister's life and seeing as she'll never say thank you. I will for her."

Erin looked at Vlad more carefully noting his casual but slightly defensive posture, he was handsome too, and Erin couldn't help but notice that. She had been told vampires were attractive but the image of monsters ruined the image in her mind, so she was not expecting this.

Erin then looked into the car and saw Ingrid unconscious inside.

"Oh no!" Erin said actually feeling a slight concern for Ingrid.

Erin opened the door and scrambled to get in. Vlad peered in wondering what had distressed Erin and cursed.

"Ingrid!" Vlad said to his sister and placed a hand on her. "Garlic." Vlad cursed and turned to Erin, Erin was surprised by his closeness. "We need to get here home, NOW!"

Erin nodded fearfully watching as Vlad slammed her door and sped round picked up Ingrid and placed her in a lying position the back and took the passenger seat next to Erin and shut the door.

As soon as the door was shut Erin headed off, she followed Vlad's careful instructions of which way to go to the letter. As she saw the lights of Liverpool, which she had to get through to get to the school, she decided that she should try and talk to Vlad; after all he could hold invaluable information... information that could help her brother and possibly even the slayers.

"So," Erin started feeling nerves churning in her stomach, she always did give into emotion easily and gripped the steering wheel tighter as a result. "Did you get rid of the slayers?"

Vlad nodded gravely. "I didn't harm them, but I think I trashed their van. They'll see me as an even bigger threat now."

Erin looked over to Vlad briefly. "You're the Chosen One, how could they fear you more than that?"

Vlad looked over to her suspiciously. "How did you know that?" He demanded.

"I heard the slayers talking," Erin lied trying not to let her voice break. "It's how I found your sister and discovered they were after you and her... I didn't realise they were tracking her though."

Vlad nodded accepting this explanation. "I'm sorry,"

Erin blinked in shock resisting the urge to look at Vlad again. "What for?"

"You're becoming one of us," Vlad muttered guilt evident in his voice. "And it's going to get worse..."

"It's not your fault," Erin sighed, knowing it wasn't his fault that she was in this situation.

Vlad looked at Erin and saw her change gears, he was tempted to take her hand and comfort her. She was the first girl in half a decade... no the first girl ever, he felt he could confide in completely. "Still, I feel somewhat responsible; after all I am the future leader of my kind..."

Vlad then heard a cough from his sister and turned around. "Ingrid?" Vlad unclipped his seatbelt and leaned back to his sister.

"I told you I can handle myself." Ingrid said weakly.

Vlad rolled his eyes. "Typical Ingrid, you don't seem too pleased to see me."

"How am I meant to, you've stuck your nose in MY business!" Ingrid snapped beginning to get up. "And you threatened me."

Vlad winced remembering how he lost his temper. "I didn't threaten you; Iwas just proving a point."

"Yeah, by showing off. You don't need to show me your the Chosen One Vladimir Dracula, I was there when you put that blasted crown on remember?" Ingrid sneered jealousy plain on her face.

Vlad turned around ignoring her.

"Is she always like this?" Erin asked.

Vlad nodded. "She hasn't changed a bit."

"Unlike you, breather boy," Ingrid added. "What happened to that innocent, breather loving wimpire I knew?"

Vlad hissed, still not looking at her. "I never have been a wimpire Ingrid, so don't you dare insult me." At that thunder and lightning rocked the clouds.

"Temper, temper," Ingrid muttered teasing her brother. "So where are you taking me? Your highness."

Vlad winced again thinking of his father, and how much trouble he would be in when he got ho,e. "Don't call me that Ingrid, I get enough of that off Dad."

"Oh, so you still live with him then?" Ingrid said amused and then become serious. "We are not going to see him are we?"

"Yep," Vlad said lightly.

"This is a bad idea," Ingrid muttered suddenly sounding fearful. "You might as well stake me now and get it over with."

Vlad looked over his shoulder and fiercely snarled. "You are NOT going to die! You are just sick."

"I'm not referring to my illness," Ingrid snorted weakly. "I mean you and Dad, you're bound to stake me eventually, the moment Dad sees me he'll grab the nearest stake and dust me."

Vlad sighed resigned. "Ingrid, you really think I would go through all this if I knew Dad would stake you in the end."

Ingrid shrugged dismissively. "For all I know, you're just trying to get revenge on me for all the times I made fun of you."

"I don't want revenge," He muttered.

Ingrid's eyes widened at that, and crowed in delight. "Oh! So breather boy is still in there!"

Vlad turned again. "For your information Ingrid, I haven't been taken over by some evil reflection; I just have a short fuse."

Ingrid then laughed. "You won?"

Vlad didn't comment at that, but Ingrid took it as a yes and felt slight proud of her brother... only for a moment.

After ten minutes Vlad then began explaining about Garside Grange so Erin and Ingrid knew what to expect.

"A school..." Ingrid mused and snorted. "What a place to hide out!"

Vlad shrugged. "It's better than living in a castle which would give us away in a second, especially given Dad's thirst nowadays."

"Thirst?" Ingrid said surprised. "Dad's back on human blood?"

Vlad nodded. "Ever since we moved here he has been, he hunts almost every night." Even Erin could hear Vlad's disapproval. "He could give us away if he keeps it up."

Ingrid snorted. "Well, everything really has changed hasn't it?"

At this Vlad had no response and didn't speak again until they got inside...

When I first did this I thought it was important to have a proper meeting between Vlad and Erin. I mean she never says 'Hi, I'm Erin' we just had to learn for ourselves her name which for me given I started watching the season when it was already a month in made an already complicated season seem even more complex.

Thank you for reading and please review!
