Me: Vlad's back!

Vlad: Yep, I am.

Me: Ohhh...

Ingrid: What's got your fangs in a knot?

Me: I forgot to add lines to my latest outtake... I'll fix that in the morning. *shakes head* Anyway I've got the two Dracula's with me... yeeck! It's like back in seasons 2 and 1 again!

Vlad: *teasingly* Please don't remind me!

Ingrid: Yeah, we were stuck with you for ages!

Me: It's not my fault it took so long... okay it is but I had exams cut me a break... season 2 didn't take as long, oh and FYI this should be done in a week now I have eight left after this one!

Vlad: Then onto season 4.

Me: Yep, and then I'll add extra's whenever I can but then it will be done and I'll focus on the Eternal Immortality series and the second part of my Love duo. So... disclaimer please.

Ingrid: C doesn't own me!

Vlad: Or me! Or Young Dracula!

Replacement – based between episodes 9 and 10 of Season 3

Vlad glanced at Garside Grange School; he was stood on a tree having just taken human form. He looked at the distinct but distant image of the school feeling a faint twitch of nervousness.

Vlad knew he was not the same Vladimir Dracula he had been before he went through the Blood Mirror, but he also knew he was not the same Vlad's that had emerged from the Blood Mirror and took him over. He was different, he wasn't evil but he knew he wasn't the incarnation of goodness he had hoped to be, part of him would always be dark, he'd just have to control it and use it for his own gain.

A gain that would lead to peaceful co-existence between vampires and breathers... oh so Vlad hoped.

He knew well the slayers were a threat and if necessary they needed to be eliminated, after all they had spent the last week hunting him, catching traces of him here or there; it was only in the past two days when he'd fully merged that he'd managed to throw them off completely... either that or they'd given up... or found out where he lived.

Vlad shook his head, he couldn't think negatively, he was going to be a leader, he had to stand his ground, not run away, no matter what the Dracula tradition was.

Vlad easily jumped down from the tree landing softly on the ground hearing the crunch of leaves beneath his feet. He didn't let that disturb him and walked through the forest, completely at ease. Even if there were werewolves in this forest Vlad wouldn't have been too bothered. He was not going to be taken by some hungry wolf.

Vlad didn't rush to the school, he took his time, partly due to nerves and partly because he wanted to sneak in unannounced. The last thing Vlad needed right now was for his father to see him coming and throw a party as he came in.

He had timed his entrance perfectly, the Count was out hunting, Ingrid was sleeping as was Erin and Wolfie, Bertrand was training and Renfield was around cleaning.

Vlad easily snuck in, and went straight to his room. He looked around the room, it looked exactly the same; obviously it had been kept clean, there was no dust, everything was almost exactly how he left it, except there was no chairs to fang cuff anyone to.

Smiling fleetingly; his eyes flickered briefly to his wardrobe, glad that his fashion taste had stayed for the most part, exactly the same.

Vlad stepped forward running his fingers along the metal lid of his coffin; he was sorely tempted to get in and sleep his own room, in his own coffin, where he belonged; he couldn't, not quite yet.

Yawning, he left his room smiling slightly and shut the door silently behind him with a snap of his fingers. He took a right and peered into Erin's room.

She was curled up tightly considering she was laid on her back; her hair was for the most part still neat, but she was otherwise fine. Vlad could see that, he hadn't wanted to leave her given that she was a breather but it was the fact she was a breather was why he couldn't let her come. If she had been a half fang then he might have, but being a breather made all the difference in his mind. He'd just hoped she'd be smart enough to keep the secret and be able to keep herself safe without his protection; it seemed she could handle himself.

Vlad grinned to himself knowing the telling off he was going to get for not waking her, but he couldn't do that to her, he loved her and he cared too much to interrupt what precious sleep she got.

Yeah, love... Vlad realised he was in love with Erin, not that he'd say anything, for some reason he couldn't help but feel he was best to keep his feelings quiet especially seeing as people had tried to get her killed on multiple occasions.

He shut her door just as silently and peeked quickly into Ingrid's room to see that her lid was shut and she was sleeping, Vlad couldn't help but let a frown spread across his face, he knew the sunlight had adversely affected her, but he didn't know how because he hadn't been here. Even he couldn;t be in two places at once.

Letting out a fake sigh he carefully trod on the dark floorboards avoiding the spots that croaked and snuck past Renfield unsurprised to see him cleaning the Count's throne with exaggerated care and slowness.

Vlad almost laughed at that and sped down the stairs watching Bertrand out of eyesight, noticing his hits were slightly either too high, or too low.

He sped silently making Bertrand speed round and then so he was behind him in eyesight, Bertrand span round seeing Vlad, his eyes looking briefly like they may pop out of their sockets.

"You're getting sloppy," Vlad informed him, referring to how he easily distracted him and his off hits.

"Vlad?" Bertrand said and allowed himself a slight smile, now he was really going to get plunged into the deep end.

Me: Two outtakes in one night, so proud of myself!

Vlad: You exaggerate, you know that.

Me: Yep.

Ingrid: You know, I don't like people watching me while I'm sleeping!

Vlad: *wincing* I was just checking to see if you were okay and I couldn't see you, just your coffin.

Ingrid: *scowling* I still don't like it, I'm not having to being protective of me like your girlfriend.

Vlad: Ex girlfriend.

Me: Will you two give it a rest. Thank you for reading and please review! Next update will be tomorrow. I'll have written it tomorrow so I'll be writing out of context.
