Young Dracula Season 5: Outtakes
I have two choices – Vlad and Talitha or Ingrid and Piers - of outtake for this one. I cannot decide which one! I'm going to have to rewatch the episode again to help me decide. Bats.
Whatever decision I make, I hope it's the one you wanted. I'm sorry if it isn't. But if not I promise the other one will be in the extra outtakes that I will be doing.
(Your present – 17/04/2014)
I've just finished writing outtakes – it was not easy I'll tell you, I'm a bit of a wreak because my writing is a lifeline for me – so you will be getting daily outtakes here on in until I'm finished. As for other stories I might do… well, you just have to wait until what I say in acknowledgments.
I don't own Young Dracula.
Mistaken – based during episode 7 of season 5
Ingrid logged into her computer scowling.
"Hurry up," she told it, even though it was no use because computers don't listen. Ingrid had seen Piers talking to him laptop in the past, usually when he was angry at it. It was a habit she had picked up from him, not that Ingrid would ever admit it.
Once it had loaded and tested Ingrid's patience to the limit, she hit the program to video call Piers.
Ingrid shook head in frustration, usually Piers answered right away. It would be today that he wouldn't.
"Hello?" Pier's voice made Ingrid jump.
"Piers, I need you to come here to do some work for me," Ingrid said. "And as soon as possible."
Piers frowned. "I can't do it, unless you tell me what you want doing."
"I need a way to keep vampires out of the basement," Ingrid said carefully. "But also a way so I can still get in."
Piers nodded. "No problem, I have been looking into the Slayer's weaponry designs. There is some interesting stuff there that we can use."
Ingrid flinched at the word 'we'. "Fine," she snapped. "Just get here as fast as possible. I need it doing as soon your your stupid breather body can do it."
Ingrid shook her head at the breather as he began fitting the motion sensors. "Why the bats is all this cool?" She demanded. "You sound like a pathetic breather I knew when I was younger and happened to be best friends with my baby brother."
She frowned at the thought of the comparison between Piers and Robin, both were attracted to her. But Piers was far more sensible, devious and useful. It made Ingrid wonder if this was what Robin was now. Still an individual obsessed with vampires, but had actually managed to do something useful with himself.
"Should I take that as a compliment?" Piers asked, his eyes fixed on the motion sensor.
"No," Ingrid replied coldly. "You take my insults as compliments far too often.
Piers stood up and gave her a smug grin. "Well, for all I know insulting in the vampire world is a compliment."
Ingrid frowned, that was almost true. Things that would be counted as insulting to breathers were seen as compliments to vampires.
Piers laughed quietly at her not replying and went over to one of the walls to fit CCTV.
"I'm surprised you didn't learn of our existence earlier given you already knew so much about us, before you met me that is," Ingrid said. "Of course, meeting me has fixed some of your petty breather flaws…"
"Like what. Not including vampiresses in to my game," Piers teased as he fiddled with a cable.
"That's one of them," she admitted.
"Well," Piers told her. "My game is almost finished now. I'll be releasing it in the next few days."
Ingrid raised her eyebrows. "Then what are you going to do with yourself?"
Piers turned around and winked. "Whatever you need me to do."
She stepped back feeling a little disconcerted by what he said. As far as Ingrid was concerned, Piers was working for her because he had no choice… she didn't think for a second that he actually wanted to help her.
Then again Piers was a weak breather, he had got what he wanted out of her – her help making his game more realistic. So he had no reason to help her anymore, which meant he was voluntary helping her…
But why, Ingrid thought to herself. She knew well Piers was attracted to her, but it must have been something more than lust that was making him stay in touch with a 'sophisticated and deadly biter'. Not to mention come to a house that had not only Ingrid in it, but Count Dracula and the Chosen One too. Piers was risking his life just by knowing Ingrid, never mind coming here.
Ingrid blinked realising she had been stood still for at least ten minutes trying to work Piers out.
"I'm almost done," Piers said from down the corridor.
"Good," Ingrid responded. "My brother may be back here any minute now."
"What's so bad about his mother anyway?" Piers asked. "Isn't she your mother too?"
"No," Ingrid said. "Vlad and Malik are both only related to me through my father. We all have different mothers."
"Sounds complicated," Piers said sympathetically.
Ingrid didn't want sympathy, but this was Piers. Ingrid, even though she would never admit it, trusted Piers.
"Vlad's mother is a breather," she said knowing Piers couldn't tell anyone about it and probably wouldn't either. "Malik's mother is called Elizabeta. She's a psychopathic murderer."
"Isn't that a good thing for a vampire?" Piers asked as he come down the corridor.
"Normally," Ingrid agreed. "But she murdered my uncle who had the Dracula throne at the time. She did it because she was married to him and wanted to marry my father…" she paused. "Dad didn't go through with it so she and her son wanted revenge. They almost succeed, but Vlad and I overpowered her. Vlad turned her into a crystal and dumped her in the lake in the blood mirror."
"Sounds like you get in trouble a lot," Piers smirked. "No wonder you need me."
Ingrid's eyes narrowed. "I don't need you, you are just useful."
"You mean when you are done with me, you'll drain me dry like any other human," Piers corrected and Ingrid almost felt guilty.
"I won't do that," she told him.
Piers raised his eyebrows surprised. "Why?"
Ingrid didn't reply and she didn't need to. Piers still had that threat hanging over her, but he'd never use it. She didn't know that though, but she did know that it was a little more than his usefulness that kept her from killing him.
I chose to do Piers and Ingrid because in episode 8 there is a serious lack of Vlad in the episode. So I'm going to do Vlad and Talitha in my outtake for that instead.
Thank you for reading and please review!
