Young Dracula Season 5: Outtakes

Right, I'm going to try from here on in not focus on Vlad or Ingrid too much. Given they are my favourite characters, it's going to be difficult. But, I know I need the change otherwise I'll get a writer's block.

I can't believe I have got this far! Episode 5 already! Wow! Only 8 episodes left, and then that's it. That's sad actually, it's bad enough YD finishing but this too is horrible.

Thank you for all the reviews, it's so nice waking up and seeing them there. It brightens my day massively.

I don't own YD.

Memory – based during episode 5 of season 5

"Why did Vladdy have to split us up like this?" The Count complained as him, Asan and Renfield headed through the dark partly redone – from the vampire hotel phase – corridors to the kitchen. "We'd be much better off if Sally and George stayed in the circle of light, and I went with Vlad."

"Does he need to be protected Lord Count?" Asan asked, trying to get information to see how easy it would be to kill Vlad. Asan knew Vlad was the Chosen One and so might not be so easy to kill.

"Quite the contrary my dear boy," the Count chimed. "Vladdy never needs protecting but I'd feel better is I were with him. We make a good team."

Renfield in from snorted but pretended to turn it into a sneeze. He knew the Count really wanted to be with Vlad because he felt that Vlad could protect him, not the other way round.

"What I do not understand," the Count said looking around wearily. "Is why Ramanga hasn't come after us himself? Surely he wants to see us tortured and ashed with his own eyes. It's not Ramanga's style to let someone else do all the dirty work. He tricks and deceives, yes. But he likes to admire the results."

Asan shrugged. "Maybe defanging changed his mind."

"Hmm," the Count agreed. "He lost his fangs and his pride. It made him a fangless wimp." The Count cackled at his own joke. "Ramanga dare not come out himself because he knows he would lose!"

If only you knew, Asan thought viciously. Then you wouldn't laugh.

"Well from what my father told me, you may be correct Lord Count," Asan pretended to agree. "Facing down as many vampires as Ramanga wanted to… Ramanga could have by no means done it on his own. Especially without his fangs intact."

The Count put Asan down when they were back in the ring of light. It was clear to Asan that what his father had told him was true, the Count was a coward mostly but also could be brave when need be. The Count relied on his children to do his dirty work because he was getting too old to fight himself.

And he accused my father of leaving others to do all the dirty work, Asan thought to himself shaking his head as he watched the Count look around for the Shadow Warriors.

"So what now?" Asan asked.

The Count turned to him. "We wait for Renfield to make this solution, and we ash them."

Asan nodded trying to look fearful but didn't succeed because he wasn't afraid. He knew the Shadow Warriors were under instructions not to hurt him.

The Count abruptly smiled. "Your remind me of Vladdy when he was your age."

Asan raised his eyebrows. "I do?" He was surprised, Asan knew very little of the Chosen One and his life. In fact Asan knew nothing about him other than he was the heir to the Dracula throne, the Chosen One and partly responsible for what had happened to Asan's family.

"Indeed," the Count admitted. "Vlad was very brave at your age – he still is. It's made him a better vampire, but don't tell him I said that." He paused. "Vladimir had a rough childhood like you are having now ASAN, but I am sure you will grow up to be a great vampire like Vlad because you are similar."

Asan blinked, surprised at the compliment. Well, kind of compliment. Asan wasn't sure how to take what he had said. Being compared to Vladimir Dracula wasn't a pleasant thing in Asan's head… but if you crossed out the Dracula and changed it to Asan Ramanga being compared to the Chosen One, then it could be seen as a great kindness.

Asan again began to doubt whether the Dracula's should be dusted. They had let him in… Malik had been kind to him, as had the Count and Vlad hadn't bothered him either. Ingrid had been hostile, but Asan had been warned by both his father and Malik that would happen.

Overall, the Dracula's weren't too dissimilar to the Ramangas. A family of four, a father, an eldest son, a girl and a younger son. A clan the same size, with its secrets like any clan.

No wonder the Ramangas and Draculas never got on, they were too similar to get on.

The Count had turned away again having decided he would protect Asan, he was too much like Vlad for him not to protect him. He wouldn't let this lonely orphaned child to be scared and killed by something as merely insignificant as shadows.

I could have done a Sally, George and Vlad moment, or a Malik and Ingrid one. But I haven't. I will do Malik and Ingrid next though because I was asked to do it.

Thank you for reading and please review!
