Young Dracula Season 5: Outtakes

I'm sorry if the last one was too long or anything. But… I kind of went OTT with writing and spent two hours on it so I don't want to change and it and put those two hours to waste.

Thank you all for the lovely reviews! I don't think I have ever got so many! And thank you to so many of you for reading this – I keep track of if my fics are being read – it's nice to know that people are taking the time to read more than just the first outtake.

Malik and Asan in this one, hurray! This will make a nice change for me to write.

I don't own Young Dracula.

Traitors – based between episodes 4 and 5 of season 5

Malik looked out of the window of the desolate building towards the direction he knew his father and siblings were living. Someone else was also there, trapped, unable to get out.

Malik's mother, Elizabeta.

Asan and Malik were being followed by the Shadow Warriors. They both knew it, and knew they would never be able to destroy them on their own.

So Malik suggested going to see his family.

Malik laughed humourlessly, almost manically, to himself. His family, his family which would dust him on sight when he arrived. No, it wouldn't be his family that would dust him. It would be his brother, the grand and mighty Chosen One.

Would it be as painful as in his dreams? Malik wondered. He had constantly been dreaming about his mother being thrown into the river, then Vlad snarling at him fangs bared, then laughing manically as Malik burned turning into ash.

Malik cringed at the thought of his nightmares. But they probably would come true if he didn't get inside.

It was either death by the Shadow Warriors or death at the hands of Vladimir Dracula. Not much of a choice, both would be painful. However the Dracula's could be reasoned with, or tricked.

If Malik got in and convinced them that the Shadow Warriors were coming, then together they might be able to defeat them. Then Malik could achieve his goal and get out his mother from the Blood Mirror.

Of course, Asan didn't know that. Then again, Malik didn't know what Asan was up to either. They were both working by the same rulebook.

"Asan," Malik called the boy. Asan walked over.

"Yes?"

"It's almost nightfall, we better get going to Garside," Malik said.

Asan frowned. "Okay, but how will I get you in. They will dust you the moment they see you."

Malik went into the bag in Asan's backpack and pulled out a tin box. He then passed it the Asan.

"I'll hide in there," Malik leaned down looking at Asan and putting a hand on his shoulder. "You saved my life, and I trust you. The Dracula's will help us. Play it like it's a great honour, the Count will fall for it right away."

Asan nodded thinking of his brother, Shango and how similar Malik was to him. The boy opened the tin and Malik turned into a bat flying into it.

Asan shut the tin and put it in his backpack. He put his hand in his pocket at pulled out his hat the put it in his head.

Normally a thirteen year old walking around at night in Liverpool would not be a sensible idea, and would look highly suspicious. But Asan was a vampire, he may not have transformed but he did have limited control over his powers. That meant that he could hypnotise people not to stand in his way.

Asan also stuck to the shadows as well, where he was easily camouflaged and get around quickly.

The young boy pondered things as he walked toward Garside Grange, the former private school. Hwe thought about Malik and how kind he was to him. Asan preyed the other Dracula's were not like that because he felt guilty as it was that Malik was going to have to be slain. If it turned out the others were similar, then Asan would feel so guilty that he might not have to get involved in the destruction of the Dracula's.

Asan hadn't seen his father for a while now, but knew he was not in good shape. The defanging had affected him badly, but it also made him dangerous because he wanted revenge so badly.

Worse, the Dracula's were not just responsible for Ramanga's defanging, but Adze's death as well. Adze wasn't much of a sister to Shango and Asan, in fact all she cared about was herself and gaining power by making out she would do anything her father said. Still she was their sister, at least in Asan's eyes.

Shango didn't see it that way. He only wanted revenge for their father. He considered Adze a traitor to the clan because she took the Ramanga Council seat which Shango should have had. Then because she took it and got killed, Ingrid Dracula now sat on the High Council.

Asan shook his head. Another reason to hate them, not only did Ingrid Dracula hold the seat that was rightfully theirs on the High Council. But she refused to marry Asan's father, which brought shame on them. Asan could not fathom why she refused him, it didn't make sense and that made him angry but also glad he didn't have such an evil vampiress a stepmother.

Asan tried to calm himself, but it wasn't easier for a child that was a teenager and growing so fast. He approached the gates of the house the Dracula's owned and knew this was it.

There was no turning back now… wither the Dracula's would be dust or the Ramanga's would. Asan could see no other result.

As I thought, this isn't all that long. But I am happy with it. I would have put more Malik and Asan interaction but I can do that in another episode when Malik and Asan can be more honest with each other rather than lying.

It made a great change doing about Asan. Which is why the next outtake will be about Asan and the Count. I feel I have focussed too much on Vlad, Sally and George recently so I am making up for that now I am further into the season.

Thank you for reading and please review!
