Young Dracula Season 3: Outtakes

I'll be bringing back dialogue soon after during episode 7 is done. I'm going to enjoy writing episodes 7 to 8 outtakes. *laughs evilly*

I now have figured how to split things into parts properly! Hurray!

Anyway this is just off the top of my head, though they usually are but anyhow... onwards.

I don't own Young Dracula

Condemnation – based between episodes 5 and 6 of season 3

Ingrid was sat in the corner watching her brother struggle with the Praedictum Impaver. She didn't watch because she wanted to see he brother become all powerful, quite the contrary, she liked to sit in the corner with a cup of Earl of Wessex 1842 just so she watch her brother struggle.

Vlad never seemed to get it just right, he would get close then, puff, the book would seal again. Ingrid could see her brother get more and more frustrated, at one point he looked at the book with so much loathing that Ingrid wondered if he was just going to destroy it. That would be good for her, then Vlad wouldn't become an all powerful untouchable vampire rather than the powerful vampire he was at the moment.

Ingrid knew what the problem was. Erin, that sneaky little half fang had her fangs so deep into Vlad that, he was losing his focus, not that Ingrid was complaining, she knew she could use this, though she had tried and failed already, but she had learnt a lesson from this, Vlad didn't trust her completely despite everything and she couldn't manipulate him like she used to.

The strain on Vlad was affecting everyone, everyone except Erin, who had noticed Vlad's shorter temper but otherwise Vlad was fine with her. With the rest of his family that was another matter. Vlad had a short fuse, and wouldn't stand for any problems.

Bertrand could tell Vlad was in a bad mood with him, he was working hard only in practical lessons that was it. It was why Bertrand thought at first that Vlad wasn't able to open the book, but when he saw how obsessive Vlad was about Erin, he knew that Erin was stopping him. But there was nothing he could do against her, not unless he wanted a one way ticket to Ashville.

Vlad slumped into his coffin letting out all his emotions with a big sigh, he lay down and thought through the day, no matter what he did, no matter how hard he tried he couldn't open that book. He was the Chosen One, he knew that no matter how much he wanted otherwise, it had been his destiny to be in this position, whether it was his destiny to open the book was another matter.

Vlad could almost feel the weight of everything on his shoulders, the disappointments, the book, his destiny; all of it. It was like a weight on his chest, on his whole body that he just couldn't get off; he could ignore it, think about something else, and distract himself. But the opportunities to do that were few and far between, at school he couldn't get away, in lesson he was too busy thinking about new ways of doing this, planning his way through his destiny so he could have peace and rule without getting slain.

Vlad glanced at the peeling wallpaper on the ceiling, it was the one part of his room he didn't bother to decorate, he had been tempted to create hangings for his room but decided against it, after all when his coffin was closed he wouldn't be able to see them...

That was something that hadn't changed in Vlad, Vlad began to realise as he glanced at his collage covered wall, at the sides of his bed back at Stokely where he had, had small collages around his bed of random breather articles or advertisements. No one could see why they had been there, but Vlad felt that they were decorate, they brought a breather look to his room that had not been there when he'd been to Transylvania. The one here in his coffinroom was much larger than his bedroom, mostly due to four years of building up his room changing it slight as his likes changed; eventually leading to room he had now.

Vlad shook his head thinking of his younger self, he really missed those days, life was so much simpler, back then he thought he had it hard, he didn't know a thing. Had he known this was going to happen he'd either ensure he found a cure - which Vlad knew for sure didn't exist - or make a run for it.

Vlad had considered running away so many times since he had discovered he was the Chosen One he had lost count. Sometimes the burden of all this was too much to bare. Mostly Vlad would stare out of the window and think of leaving, sometimes Vlad would be packed then unpack, and once or twice Vlad would stand at the gate packed and ready to leave and then look back thinking of his family and turn round and go back to his room.

Of course, Vlad did leave the school, he couldn't stand being there all the time, he just would have preferred to be able to go during the day rather being stuck in the dark all day with everyone pestering him.

When it got too much with the pestering Vlad would get into a mood and in a sense sulk in his coffin. Thinking, that was mostly what he did, after all he didn't come up with plans just because he was a natural at it. Vlad used to spend a lot of time thinking, he would ethically debate things with himself and decide what was right and what was wrong, it resulted in Vlad deciding to go blood-free.

It was a never ending cycle, Vlad would think things through after trying to open the book, then try again and get annoyed again, then Bertrand would 'help' and Ingrid would tease, then Vlad would sulk and so on. Vlad was condemned to this cycle until he could break it, the question was, how to break it.

This Vlad couldn't figure out, but he knew this, the sooner he opened that book the better, then he might not feel as bad as he did, he might actually get to be normal for a while and maybe, just maybe spend some time with Erin and finally ask her out.

This one was heavily inspired by season 4, I have to say, it seems very ironic. Especially the whole Erin situation, I'm not going to say what because I don't want to spoil the season for those who haven't seen it yet.

I really wanted to touch on that thing with Vlad's rooms, it struck me when I was watching season 1 that Vlad has a small collage in his room and then a larger one at Garside, I decided to explain that and get Vlad thinking.

I'm going to try and update again today, but no guarantees!

Thank you for reading and please review!
