Young Dracula Season 5: Outtakes
So I'm going to work on something here that was barely addressed this series even though it was obvious it was there. I'm not going to say what because I want this outtake to be a bit of a surprise. I think you will like it given I have had so many nice comments about one of the characters in this – thank you all for that and the rest of the reviews
I don't own YD!
Unusual – based between episodes 6 and 7 of season 5
George was sat in the throne room, on her own. What was surprising wasn't that she was in the throne room, but there alone.
Asan frowned as her watched her read through a book, he noticed the writing inside wasn't English or Romanian. It was Latin. He had heard she was studying it, but why was she reading a book that was in Latin on her own without Vlad or her mother here?
"Hey," Asan said slightly nervously.
George looked up and gave him a smile. "Hi," she shut her book, it seemed to be some study book of some sort with a bright red cover and a statue head picture on the cover. She put the book into her bag which was right by her feet.
"You're Georgina aren't you?" Asan walked forward.
She looked up and nodded. "I go by George."
"But that's a boy's name," Asan pointed out.
George shrugged. "Makes no difference to me. Girls can do everything boys can, so why can't we mix up our names too… Asan is a strange name as well you know."
Asan shrugged. "Not where I come from."
"You must be from far away," George guessed.
Asan sat next to her and shifted his chair so he was facing her. "Yes," he admitted, not wanting to go into details. "Very far away."
George smiled. "Seems like not all vampires are from Transylvania after all then."
"No, not really," Asan paused. "What are you doing here on your own anyway? Won't your mum be worried?"
George shrugged. "Mum's sleeping, and Vlad is studying for his exams. I think Ingrid is in her room… Malik is downstairs somewhere and the Count has disappeared. Last I saw him, he was with Renfield and they both looked a little panicked. Goodness knows why. So I decided to come in here and do some studying myself."
"I'd have thought you'd be helping Vlad seeing as he's your mum's student," Asan said, not believing what was coming out of his own mouth. He knew there was something between Vlad and Sally, and Vlad and George. They were too close for them to be just helping him with his studies. Plus, his studies were vampire studies, and breathers knew next to nothing about vampires.
"Latin isn't in Vlad's exam," George shrugged. "Vlad isn't doing history or science at the moment either. So I can't help him. I think he's doing about blood types, and I don't know anything about them."
She pulled a disgusted face.
"You like history?"
"And science," George added. "I want to be an archaeologist when I grow up. I don't know if I'll focus on the history side of science side yet. What do you want to be when you're an adult?"
Asan frowned. "I don't get much of a choice in what I become," he said, being honest for once. "I will be a vampire. I have no problem with it, but I probably will have to take my father's throne… that is if my brother is dead. He may not be, and if he isn't then I might be able to do what I want. But until then I don't know."
George shook her head. "It's so unfair that you don't get to even get a chance to do what you like. You are just forced into it. All of you. The Count was forced onto the throne because of an accident. Vlad was forced into being heir and the Chosen One. Malik had no choice about his life and Ingrid has been segregated her whole life. Ingrid's the only one who has had opportunities but even then it sounds like she's still limited in what she can do."
Asan nodded. "But you can't go wherever you want when you want. You have to have money to survive. We don't."
"True," She agreed and sighed. "I'd go travelling now if I could. I'd just leave. I wish I could go travelling with Vlad, but he says he can't because I'm too young and his travelling companion may not like it."
Asan raised his eyebrows. "You'd go travelling with Vlad?"
"If he let me, of course I would," George rolled her eyes.
"But for all you know he might bite you or kill you, after all he's the Chosen One." He pointed out. "Aren't you scared of him?"
George laughed. "Of Vlad? Of course not, he's harmless. At least to the people he likes. He'd never hurt me," she said confidently.
"I wish I felt that confident about him," Asan muttered.
"You can trust him. I trust him," George shrugged. "Anyway, have you played any computer games? Or apps?"
Asan frowned. "Apps?"
She gasped. "You don't play games."
"Not ones on computers," Asan said, confused.
George rummaged through her bag and found her phone. "Come over here." She gestured for him to move next to her rather than be opposite to her.
The chair squealed against the floor as Asan moved next to her.
George began going through her phone, using her finger to scroll through the different apps on her phone.
"See? Apps are applications, they come in different forms. Some are games, some are for education use, some are for communication et cetera." George explained. "I mostly play games. At home I do too, but mum has limited the amount of time I can play on the computer."
"You're using your finger to move things," Asan looked amazed.
"It's a touch screen," George shrugged. "So you can use your fingers to click and move and stuff. Do you want to try?"
"Okay," She passed over her phone to Asan. Asan slowly ran his finger down the screen seeing the light move showing different small icons. "The highest tech use vampires use normally is UV cages," he informed her. "Because vampires are harmed by UV light."
"That's still impressive," George said.
"We usually steal the generators from the slayers," Asan admitted.
"Vlad can make some good vampire traps," George pointed out. "He made one for that bat that you caught."
"He did," he frowned, worried.
"Yeah, it was brilliant. But you got the bat first." George shrugged. "It would have been good to see, because there was meant to be an explosion and everything!"
Asan paled at the thought. If Vladimir Dracula had the ability to make traps and use technology, then it was possible the plan might not work… It was possible he could figure out how to turn off the UV cages.
Asan put that thought aside for later, he'd have to tell his brother to make sure the UV cages were designed not to be tampered with because if he didn't tell that to Shango then the Chosen One would slaughter the remainders of the Ramanga's.
"Hey Asan!?" George's voice made him jump. "Wake up dolly daydream!"
"Sorry," Asan apologised. "I was just thinking of my family."
George nodded understandingly. "I get it. You have lost them and it takes time to recover. It took me a while to get over my dad."
Asan sighed. "I barely remember my mum, but now my dad is gone…" he trailed off and shook his head. "Forget it, I am best thinking of something else. Do you know much about this house? Like hiding places and secret tunnels?"
I really liked Asan and George's relationship in the season. I really wanted to explore what started it off because it seemed to happen between episodes 6 and 7. I could have gone on longer with this, but then it would have gone on too long.
Asan after all did say George was nice to him (watch episode 12 if you don't know what I'm talking about!), but didn't specify how. So I decided they got along because first, they are similar ages and second they both seem to have lost their fathers. They can understand each other because of that even though Asan is a double crossing untransformed vampire and George is a sweet, innocent and caring breather making them almost opposites. Even Asan actually cares, which is why I have had him questioning whether to kill the Dracula's in these outtakes. He does seem kind of reluctant to actually kill. Just like Vlad actually, which is why I had the Count compare him to Vlad.
Thank you for reading and please review!
