Young Dracula Season 5: Outtakes

Family moments, hurray. I have been looking forward to doing these.

Thank you all so much for the reviews! It's made me so determined to write these that I'm over halfway through now writing them, so you will be getting daily outtakes for quite some time as a reward.

I don't own YD.

Sister – based during episode 3 of season 5

Vlad knocked on the door to the room that had been done for George and Sally.

"Yes," Vlad heard his mother say. Once again Vlad felt the nervousness he had when he first met her, it was why he couldn't speak right away.

He opened the door.

"Renfield told me there's a problem with the room,"

Sally looked relieved. "Yes, George is a little fussy and doesn't like sharing with me."

"Mum," George complained.

Vlad smiled slightly. "That's alright," he had been worried the room was too scary. He looked at his younger sister. "How about I give you a tour and you can choose a room?"

George grinned at him. "That sounds great."

"Don't get yourself lost George," her mother warned. "This is a pretty big house and you might lose your way."

"Don't worry," Vlad assured her. "I'll protect her." He said honestly. "I now this place like the back of my hand, she'll be safe with me."

Vlad turned to the door. "You coming?"

George nodded and started walking next to him.

"So, Vlad," George paused. "Where are you from?"

Vlad looked down. "I was born here in Britain," Vlad admitted, he knew that much now because his father had told him. "But I was raised in Romania until I was twelve."

"Oh," George realised. "That's why you have gone for a vampire hotel. Because you come from an area associated with it."

Vlad nodded. "Pretty much,"

"What about after that?" George asked cocking her head to the side. "Your English is so good that you must have lived here since then."

"No actually, we moved to a town called Stokely in North Wales," Vlad admitted. "I already knew English though, my…" Vlad paused not wanting to say parents. "Dad insisted me and my sister learn it from a young age. We moved here a year after… when we had a family problem."

Vlad frowned and George looked at him sympathetically. "You got a troublesome family?"

"To put it mildly." Vlad agreed. "I have an older sister, she's always causing problems and I have other half siblings too. I don't even know them well though. I was raised with my sister."

"So this is your Dad's place?"

Vlad nodded. "Yep. What about you George, do you just live with your mum?"

"Yes ever since Dad died," George looked down.

"I'm sorry," Vlad sighed understandingly.

George decided to change the subject as they entered his room. "I'm sorry about all this, but I can't sleep with Mum."

"Right then," George and Vlad had just left Vlad's room. "Let's check the other rooms."

Vlad peered into Erin's old room at the end of the corridor to find nothing was in it.

George looked under Vlad's arm. "The room's kind of barren," she noticed.

"Yeah," Vlad paused. "This used be my ex-girlfriend's room. Dad probably got rid of everything in here because he hates her so much."

"Why does he hate her?"

"She ran off with my half-brother," Vlad shrugged trying not to think about it.

"Eww," George complained disgusted at the thought and realising Vlad was right about his family being troublesome. "That's like something from TV."

Vlad laughed at the comparison knowing she was right, their lives were like something from TV at times. "I know, imagine how I felt."

"Angry," George guessed and frowned. "Why would anyone want to leave you? You're lovely."

Vlad smiled. "Thanks, but Erin… well she had a change of heart after a near-death experience. It messed with her head."

George nodded realising Vlad probably still cared for his ex, and so would make out it wasn't her fault she ran off with someone else. That just told George more firmly that Vlad was a good person. "Well I can't use that room."

Vlad shut the door and headed for another room near to his and saw it too was empty. "Bats," he muttered to himself, he had forgotten Ingrid had moved rooms.

"What?" George frowned, confused as to why he said 'bats'.

"Sorry, it's a habit I've got into. Being a vampire," Vlad winked at her. "Means I can't use normal curse words. I have to stay in act."

"Oh, don't do that in front of Mum," George told him smiling slightly, she was glad Vlad was so kind and comfortable around her. It was like he wasn't acting at all, which he wasn't but she didn't know that. "She tells anyone off when she thinks they are doing wrong."

"Whose room is that anyway?" George nodded to the empty room.

"My older sister's, Ingrid," Vlad shut the door. "I think she's moved to the attic in the east wing because it's bigger, about my room's size actually."

George couldn't help but notice he kept referring to the room they had seen as his room, not to mention he seemed offended when she said that the room wasn't one for a proper vampire. Strange, she thought, but maybe he's just practicing.

"Will I get to meet her?"

Vlad stiffened and shook his head rapidly. "Trust me, you don't want to meet her."

"I'm guessing she's not as nice as you," George guessed.

"She's plain evil," Vlad admitted.

"She plays the part of a vampire well then," George added.

Vlad nodded honestly, he wasn't lying, Ingrid loved being a vampire. "She loves it," he sighed.

"Sounds like she's trouble," she said.

"She's the reason we had to leave Stokely. She causes havoc wherever we go. We've got lucky she hasn't caused us so much trouble that we haven't had to leave here yet. But then again I haven't been here much recently." Vlad turned to take George to his father's room.

"You haven't been here much?" George asked frowning.

"I went travelling with a friend for two months," Vlad sighed happily thinking of Talitha and realised he missed her. Then he hoped she would come by soon to make his life a little more bearable, especially given George and Sally would be leaving soon and Vlad knew when that happened he would have a void in his life that would never be filled again. "We travelled the world together."

"Sounds nice," George said almost dreamily. "Will you be going again?"

Vlad nodded. "Once I'm eighteen, because Dad won't let me go again until then."

"You're seventeen?" George asked.

Vlad nodded. "Surprised?" He smiled and raised his eyebrows.

"Kind of," she admitted. "You look your age but you act older."

Vlad shrugged. "It's a result of five years of keeping my family and myself out of trouble," he didn't tell her the real reason because Vlad knew he couldn't, it would scare her to death. "How old are you George?"

"Thirteen," she shrugged.

Vlad smiled faintly. "Same age I was when all the trouble hit me," he muttered to himself.

George didn't hear that and changed back to their original subject. "I wish you could take me on your travels with you." She sighed longingly. "I really want to travel the world."

Vlad smiled. "I'd love to take you," he admitted and then looked to the ground sadly. "But I doubt Talitha would be happy about it and it might look a bit weird given how young you are. Maybe when you're my age." Vlad knew that would never happen but he could dream.

George nodded knowing it wouldn't happen either but she had her own plans to try anyway. "I plan on becoming an archaeologist." She told him. "And moving to South America."

"Wow," Vlad was impressed. "You have big things in mind."

George nodded. "I need to do well in Latin first, and do well in my GCSEs. Then my A levels and then I'll do my BA or BSc in Archaeology at university here in Britain with some study time abroad, and a MA or MSc possibly abroad. I may try to do a PhD if I can once I'm a professional archaeologist."

Vlad thought about that, George had her whole life planned out ahead of her. Vlad wished he could do that, but he couldn't because he was a vampire.

"I wish I had plans like that, all I plan on doing is travelling." He sighed.

"Sometimes it's best not to plan so you don't get disappointed," George said. "That's what Mum said, because she never planned her life and it's ended out well. I'm sure it will for you too Vlad."

Vlad looked at his sister with a smile. "Thanks George."

I think the length of this one makes up for the lack in the last one. I really wanted Vlad and George to get to know each other, especially given Ingrid and Vlad don't get along and George must be lonely with no siblings around.

I also wanted to go into the whole travelling thing and archaeology thing. I did it because I am the exact same, I want to travel the world too and become an archaeologist just like George. I'm doing my BA on it at the moment, so that's how I managed to get George to talk about the degrees and going abroad etc. I imagine she'd do that because she's so adventurous. Which is where we differ because I do not plan on going to work in South America and I'm staying in Britain for m degree. But still I have a pretty good grasp on what it is like so I applied it here to make it seem more real.

Thank you for reading and please review!
