Ok absolutely loving writing this story and I feel bad that I haven't really written anything on my other story for a while. I have corrected any mistakes I can find in my last chapters but I will tell you I do not have a beta and I keep forgetting to check and proof read my self.
Disclaimer: this is cbbc's except for the plot :)
(Ingrid's P.O.V)
I walk around the room fixing my hair getting ready for my first day of this stupid school. Yay! The joys!
"Ingrid can I come in?" So for once I'm not the one to go to him. It's not like I was going to see him in a minute or anything.
I open the door wide, welcoming him in and I can't help but notice seeing him has lifted my dreary mood. I've gotten to know a new side of my brother and I'm starting to quite like it.
He looks me up and down.
"I see your not going with the dress code either. It's one thing having to actually do school work I already know today. I'm not going to walk around all stiff and pressed.
"I thought you liked learning?" I question a little surprised at him.
"Exactly. I liked it but the thought of it now is kind of annoying. I think the only reason I liked it before was because of Chloe and Robin."
I nod my head and look at him properly for the first time. At what he's wearing.
Black covers him from head to toe. His short cropped hair is wisped back naturally. A leather jacket, different from any I've ever seen so it must be one that dad has given him hangs lose over a raven coloured tight top which I'm not sure has either long or short sleeves. He wears jeans to make it look more casual, and trainers. My eyes can't help going back to the jacket though it is quite indescribable.
"You liking the jacket?" I only nod. "Yeah me too." He boasts.
(Vlad's P.O.V)
Ingrid carries on looking at my jacket so I survey her,
She's put her hair in pigtails, which on any other girl would make her look little and cute and weak which is everything Ingrid doesn't stand for. On her it some how makes her look more dangerous with what she wears.
A school shirt probably found in her old cupboard from when we last when to school is dyed black and illuminates her pale body. A studded belt, something to kill with I realise starts off her floor length skirt. Pointed boots protrude from under it and finishing my examination I look back up and see her checking her red perfect, pointed, painted nails.
We walk downstairs where dad gives us the timetables, he frowns at us not going anywhere near the school uniform, who the hell is he trying to impress?
Miss McCauley is the first name that pops into my head but could dad really care about a breather? So many times he's cursed and shouted at me about associating with breathers which is pretty hypocritical if you think about it.
I want to interview him so much but Ingrid pull me down the stairs and as soon as we are down there and around the breathers my mouth starts to water again. I haven't been around breathers and I've had no practise with them in years. So many of them and so close to me makes me want to bite them. I make my fangs stay up and retracted but I have to concentrate hard.
I look at my sister and she looks as cool as a daisy.
"Ingrid there is so many breathers. How do you do it?"
"Don't breath Vlad, vampires don't need to remember?"
I realise my mistake. I had been breathing, inhaling the scent because I wanted to taste it. Now I need to stop.
As soon as I cut my breathing off it gets a lot easier, all I have to do now is try not to look at anyone's neck or listen to much in case I catch there heartbeats.
Everyone stares at us and Im not oblivious as to why they do. We look so different from them with our snowy pale skin and dress nothing like them. I know from experience that people don't except changes in things.
I see Ingrid smiling at them and i try to adjust my face in to some sort of a smile but I know I come off more snide and rude than anything.
My first class is art and even though I've already decided I might not go to a lot of my classes that I see as unimportant I like art so I'm going to go. I found out in my old that I'm not so bad at it either.
I'm not with Ingrid so in this class I'm the only new person and all eyes are on me.
The teacher is short but excitable and bounces around the class. I don't really like him maybe because vampires aren't really the happy, jolly types. His hair is a mix of grey and white but he has no wrinkles that I can see.
He tells me his name is mr Joan and then turns me so I'm looking at the class. I move away from him and the hand he puts on my shoulder to reassure me drops to his side. I don't allow anyone to touch me unless I want them to. Not vampires and definitely not breathers. I sigh annoyed at how much I've changed and not being able to help it.
The teacher looks confused but when I look again at him he smiles.
"Well what's your name young man?" Young man? I find it disrespectful.
He expects me to be timid but I let my voice boom around the room.
"Vlad, Vladimir Count. Now, where am I sitting?" I announce. I talk but as soon as I finish the sentence I stop breathing again. It's not long enough for the darkness to pounce on me.
"U... Um, over there by Jessica."
I walk over and the girl called Jessica is beaming, I throw back that is, from what I've seen from other guys, a charming grin. She catches her breath and then smiles again, even wider now. She was obviously looking at my shining teeth.
Jessica has brown hair and eyes. She uses way to much make up I notice. She's quite pretty but she thinks she's gorgeous.
When I sit down she won't stop talking and laughing at things I haven't even said. She won't stop looking at me and it's weird as at my old school girls never used to act like this with me before so what's changed? A memory of dad talking about him self comes to mind and I remember the Dracula charm. Dad used to tell me about it all the time.
I might enjoy this.
"Ok kids. Time to draw we haven't got a lot of time today with introductions and all so draw what you would like to today and I'll give you a level for them."
"What are you going to draw Jessica?" I choose to be polite.
She looks in my eyes and doesn't say anything so I roll them and look the other way.
"Do you mind if I draw your hair?" She finally replies and I raise my eyebrows wanting to chuckle. "Well not your hair but the colour." She gasps at her words and how stupid she sounds. "I mean I'm going to draw a raven."
I nod and let out my chuckle I am holding in. I start my work, deciding to draw an oak tree making it drawn where it's dark and shadowed, disguised by night.
I've got a chance to listen around the class while Jessica is concentrating and I take it. I let my self listen further but not far enough that it's dangerous.
Instantly I hear whispers, everyone seems to be gossiping about me which I'm not surprised about.
I focus on the two girls that sit on the table to the left of ours.
"I can't believe how hot the new guy is. Totally a bad boy. Jessica's already got her claws in him." I shake my head and smirk. Jessica will never have her claws I me. She's too dramatic and obnoxious.
Thinking of Jessica, she tries getting my attention by coughing.
"Vlad? You have a very different last name, I'm not sure weather I have heard it before." She averts her eyes.
"Oh yes, family name." I lie.
Of course my real last name is Dracula but we have gone back to count to be less obvious as we did in Stokely.
I go back to listening and catch on to a heated conversation between two boys at the back. About me.
"Look at him all over Jessica! Who does he think he is? He struts in here and tries to take my woman. He's going to hear about this. He won't get away with it."
I smile under my hand as mr Joan shouts.
"Ok so who wants to show their art? How about you Vlad? Do you want to take on the challenge."
Yes I will take on the challenge, any challenge they all give me even the jerk at the back. They all treat me like a little boy when they should be on their knees begging at me.
As soon as I have the thought I feel annoyed at myself. Who am I to be all high and mighty, I'm not even... Oh forget it I tell my self feeling the darkness disagreeing with everything i say.
I hold my new art book given to me at the start of the start of the class out to him and he takes it from me. I watch him as he looks over every line of my drawing with a sharp eye.
"Wow, your very talented Vlad." He complements then holds it up to the class who is unison make a chorus of "ooohs and aahhs."
(Vlad's P.O.V)
School has gone ok. I have cut most of the classes though so that may be why. I would have been in art, English, design, German and ict but I only went to my last lesson which is English after art.
Now I walk down the corridor dodging the breathers waiting for Ingrid to get out of her class so we can go upstairs. I hear someone approach from behind me as I decide to lean agains a wall.
It's not just me who avoid the breathers but they leave me alone too and stare instead to scared to approach so I'm intrigued as to who it is.
The un known person taps me on the back and I know it's a girl from the soft touch.
I'm not happy with the contact however small the amount but i turn slowly keeping a thinly vailed temper. There stands Jessica.
"Vlad I'm glad I caught you do we have any art homework?"
I have a feeling she already knows we don't. She has a boyfriend doesn't she? Garlic she makes me confused and angry.
I simply shake my head concluding the homework issue. She looks downhearted at my vague response but twirls her hair around her fingers anyway. Garlic! Leave me alone!
A boy comes round the corner as a flirtatious giggle comes out of Jessica's mouth. I can't help but sigh knowing a problems going to come when I realise who it is.
"Are you kidding me man? That's my girlfriend your flirting with!"
Anger boils at his words. Can he not see his girlfriend is drooling over me and I would be more than happy if he took her away from me? Are all breathers blind?
"Dude I'm not the one flirting." The 'dude' bit feels a bit abnormal and weird coming out of my mouth.
"That is it! Jess would never do anything like that! Do not accuse her of your mistakes!"
He pulls up his arm and closes his fist into a ball and starts to move it forward. Lazily and bored I casually, swiftly and simply put up my hand meeting his hand and It collides with my hard skin, causing him pain instead. I quickly close my hand around his and twist his arm behind his back.
He tries to trip me but I push him against the wall where he can't move himself unless he wants to cause himself pain.
I lean down to the side of his head and see his eyes wide full of fear as he cowers. He does it even though he can't see me properly, he can only feel my presence so close to him.
"Who do you think you are?" I question making the syllables drawn out.
It's a mistake, letting myself breath air. This close to him I can smell the perspiration he lets out as I scare him and I can smell his blood, so near to me. I hear his heartbeat and I can even feel his pulse where my hand holds his wrist.
I turn my head down trying to get away from it as I'm to far out of the world to be able to move myself any further away from him. My fangs descend even though I will them to stay hidden. I close my mouth and my fangs pierce my skin and I taste my own blood but it's not the one I want.
I'm trying so hard not to just bite him. I'm trying. So. Damn. Hard.
(Ingrid's P.O.V)
I step out of class feeling boys watching me as I go and girls envying me. I don't really blame them.
People around me gasp and run down the hall, wanting to know what's going on I follow and what I see around the corner is my own little piece of hell.
Vlad leans into a boy who's pushed against the wall and I can tell he's ready to bite him. I need to stop it before he exposes us.
"Vlad! Vlad, come on. Not here, not now." I run towards the middle of the corridor where the two boys and a girl stand and the students watching me let me pass easily. Un sure about me I suppose.
He doesn't even move an inch as I shout at him so I carry on towards him and push him off the boy using all my vampire force but it still only knocks him to the side. At least it did that i think to myself.
I look him in the eye and pull him so no one around us can see his face. His mouth bulges out as his fangs try to protrude from them. Not only that but his eyes match the colour of his hair. I leave him facing the wall so I can sort out the other boy.
"What ever you did, don't do it again. He's not going to lie down and take what ever you give him, he can look after himself and sure as hell knows how to handle you. Face it you know he's scary and I may not be here to stop it or not even try to next time."
He nods vigorously eyes wide and petrified. I pull Vlad out the side door where he takes a breath of the out door air. We can be out here because it's quite cloudy today but we need to move upstairs.
As we start to move I hear something in the corridor.
"For god sake Jamie! We are done!" I smirk and Vlad chuckles a tiny bit and I look at him and I'm surprised to now see he still has his fangs out which he lets show themselves out of his mouth.
"Vlad come on you need to get control. Calm down."
"Can't. Need blood. Lots. Now. Blood cellar." He gasps out.
"We can't. You need a lot and he'll notice. He loves that blood cellar and you don't want him to find out. We've got to go hunting."
He opens his mouth to speak but I cut him off not giving him a choice. "Vlad if you don't do it you will end up exposing us all." I look him in the eyes and put my hand out to him. "Come on Vlad I know what will make you feel better."
He closes his eyes and takes my hand and I can tell he feels sick in him self and that he's in pain. I don't waste a second, turning into a bat and going into the sky keeping where the clouds are.
We go for a long fly until it's dark and end up in Ireland. Vlad's ok when he's flying as long as we stay high in the sky. We had to wait for it to get dark as Breathers are more aware of what goes on in the day.
We drop down and Vlad looks angrily at me. "Ingrid where are we going. Don't waste any more time."
I roll my eyes at him even though I am slightly scared. "You see that pub Vlad?" I point to an old wooden bar that from where we stand on the pavement opposite you can hear the people laughing from inside.
"Yeah what about it?" He questions.
"I want you to go get any girl you'd like and I'll get a guy. Bring them to the back of the pub and meet up. That way it will be seen as they killed each other."
"Why are we choosing a pub?"
"You've never been drunk before have you?" I watch as he shakes his head. "Well then all I'm going to tell you Is that you'll enjoy it believe me."
I take him into the bar and as we walk in I watch amused as every eye falls on us and every girl orbits around him. He's definitely not going to have a problem.
He chooses a brunette who looks ecstatic and clings to him. He seems to be containing him self well as he knows he will get to bite her soon.
Not worrying about him I choose a blonde boy who's friends whistle at us as I take him out the back. Vlad's already there and the girl kisses him. Wow, he works fast is all I think not liking how grown up he is now.
She thinks he's about to kiss her neck and she moves her head back making it even easier for him. His fangs come instead as I knew they would and I'm surprised at how quick they fall.
I quickly hypnotise my guy so he doesn't see or remember any of it. Vlad's quite fascinating when he drinks. He's very elegant and clean and royal. I chuckle at how that all kind of adds up to a leader.
The drunken spark recedes from her eyes and slowly she closes them. As she falls he holds her in his arms and then lies her on the floor carefully. He looks at me confused as to why I'm watching and stands waiting for me to actually start my meal.
I make it quick for Vlad and finish him in record time. I leave him beside the girl to make it more believable.
Vlad grabs my arm and I turn to look at him with an eyebrow raised. "I feel funny."
"Good funny?"
"Yeah."
I chuckle the alcohol has obviously effected him more than it has me because it's his first time, either that or the girl had more drinks than others.
"We need to go Vlad you need to get some sleep."
"Aww but I like it here!" He moans and actually pouts out his bottom lip.
"Vlad." I warn treating him like a child. That's always the best way to talk to people who are drunk off their asses.
"Fine." He crosses his arms."but, um Ingrid?"
"Yeah?"
"Why is there two of you?"
I sigh trying to hide a grin that wants to form on my lips.
"We're going home Vlad."
As soon as we are in the sky he flies off fast leaving me to try and catch up. He's the happiest I've seen him since even before the change.
His bat self does little twirls then falls a bit when he forgets to move his wings.
I've always wanted a good relationship between Ingrid and Vlad so I've added it. Hope fully you've liked this chapter and the next one will be up just as quickly.
R&R, they always make me happy and help a lot.
