Okay I tried to be all halloweeny but it didn't work. Ended up behind a sofa when trying to watch a murder film and throwing the remote at my mom to turn it off. Then tried a vampire film which I'm normally ok with but it started to get like true blood with all the dirty stuff if you know what I mean. I ended up watching 'tricked' a new magician show. Just finished watching celebrity juice Halloween special so that something right? Right?
Anyone else find gerren howell (Vlad) is really hot In young dracula (spoiler for some of the episodes of the third series episode 8 and onwards) especially when he was evil and in the promo pics I've seen for series 5 he looks even better! I know it's like totally impossible.
Anyway sorry for the Drabble hope you like this chapter.
Disclaimer: cbbc's not mine. Only the plot and any of my own characters you've never seen before.
(Vlad's P.O.V)
I sit up in my coffin, too happy and giddy for a morning so it looks like the beers worked.
I quickly dress and today I decide I want to try more leather. I really do like wearing it now so today the bottom half of me is clad in leather and I simply wear a tight short sleeved red top.
I'm not stupid though, I know as soon as I walk downstairs and dad sees me looking relatively happy he will know. It's not that he will be angry - well maybe about the alcohol thing - he will be the opposite of it. There will be a party and everything. He won't get the fact that I'm still not going to kill breathers. I need to stop myself and last night was a last resort.
No matter how much drink I have it's not going to cloud over the fact that I've killed many people now. Every single one of them is a stranger to me too. I have no idea who they are, not even there names and it can't bear the thought of what there parents are feeling. What their hole family is feeling and all because of me.
I walk down to the blood cellar and see Ingrid already here her legs crossed over the knee. She smiles as she sees me but it's more of a smirk.
"They drank a lot last night didn't they?" She hold the bridge of her nose, an obvious sign that she has a headache. It makes me chuckle as I'm still not getting the after math effects.
"So your down here for the same reason I am then?" I question.
"What? Trying to wash out some of the alcohol from your system too?"
I nod and she offers me a bottle of O that's in front of her but I decline and find a Dutchess, AB and sit down beside her.
She offers me a glass and I take it this time. It feels much more natural like I'm only drinking some wine or milk that I'd used to ask dad to put in a wine glass for me so i could act like him.
"Do you know this is the first time I've actually used a glass?"
"Uhh Vlad! Your such a pig!"
I laugh when i see her lips twitch wanting to break out into a smile. It doesn't take me long to finish a glass and I pour another one. Slowly as I go through the bottle I feel it replacing the blood from last night. It makes me feel worse about myself. I hate myself for hurting people and the darkness hates me for not wanting it.
"Ingrid I've killed people before last night." I admit to her.
"I know you have we killed the slayers."
I shake my head. "No when I first changed I went flying and caught on to a mans scent. I couldn't help myself. I killed him and left him there."
"It was your fault the slayers came wasn't it?"
"I think so. I can't be sure. I was out of control, it's why I didn't want to go last night."
She stares at me and nods like she knows something I don't. "I'm not going to judge you or tell you it's wrong because it's exactly what I do but I do get that you needed to say it Vlad. I'm not going to start making decisions for you." She stands up pulling me with her. "We have school."
I roll my eyes. "God. I'm so bored of it already."
English is first today and I'm annoyed to hear that we are reading and doing an essay on Romeo and Juliet, a book I haven't read yet and I never intended to either. As a class we read it and every thing the characters do get on my nerves and i contradict them at the end of every paragraph. Of course I do this in my head.
The rest of my class would just find me abnormal if I said anything. They think it's a beautiful love story and they do so much for love that it ends in death. That Romeo and Juliet were so in love they would die for each other.
It's stupid though. They didn't love each other enough to trust the other not to cheat. They were petty people that didn't think of the consequences. No one can fall in love as quickly as they supposedly did. Infatuation and youth are a pretty lethal combination.
I walk out as soon as the bell rings not waiting to be dismissed and I leave the teacher with a flustered look on her face.
When I get half way down the corridor though a voice comes out of the speakers over my head.
"Vlad and Ingrid count could you please report to my office now. Thank you."
I sigh and meet Ingrid at the door, she knocks not so timidly and miss McCauley motions for us to come in.
We sit on some comfy chairs facing the head mistress who sits behind her desk.
"Ok so first your here because I've had reports that you, Vlad started a fight with Jamie.."
Great already she makes me angry.
"No he threw the first punch I didn't even hit him, I defended my self by putting his arm around his back and his feet secure. I assure you that's a simple procedure police use to stop people attacking them. Surely you didn't want me to just take the punch?" I say this because I know she can't really defend her self anything she says agains me will make it sound like she permits people hitting others.
"Fine. That does not mean Ingrid can threaten him though..."
"I stopped Vlad didn't I? I was protecting my little brother I'm not just going to let him get hurt am I? Any ways it's not my fault that there wasn't any teachers around looking out for students who could sort Jamie out their selves." She tilts her head to the side looking innocent. I hide my smile behind the same expression she puts on.
Miss McCauley blinks a few times then shakes her head. "Well alright then I suppose that that's sorted. There is too more things I need to cover. I'm not so sure about what you call your school clothes. I mean it's not the proper attire for school and puts a bad image to our good name."
She sounds just like dad when I've done something that no Dracula should do blah blah blah. Which is nearly every week.
We both call no at the same time instantly decided that this will never happen. She sees our expressions that say 'don't mess with us' and 'we don't negotiate with you.' She knows not to push it.
"Is there anything else?" Ingrid is instantly polite.
"Just on last thing. Vlad I'm not as stupid as you think I am do know your cutting class." She looks proud of herself.
"I never thought you were stupid miss. Any one should have realised by now that I haven't actually been in some classes."
"Don't be cheeky with me Vlad I'll just call your dad down."
"Don't bother I'm not one of those kids who can be threatened by their parents I'm not one to listen to them either. I know how to handle my dad and I will carry on even if he tells me not too. Maybe if I was being taught something I didn't already know I might be more punctual." I stand up and Ingrid follows. I'm mildly amused at the way miss McCauley's mouth has nearly dropped to the ground. "Is there any thing else?"
"No just get out of my office!" She grinds the words between her teeth and Ingrid and I make a quick exit.
"I'll see you later Ingrid, maybe for a drink in the cellar?" I ask.
"No way. I'm going for a real meal." She scoffs and the darkness that I'd describe as a wolf if vampires didn't hate wear wolves and I'd feel quite ashamed of my self if one of them was dominating me from my insides. I think I'm going to keep with calling it 'darkness'. It growls and churns in my stomach wanting the 'real meal' that Ingrid suggests.
"I'll see you when I see you then I guess." I tell her Ignoring what's now turning into pain in my stomach.
I walk in to class and want to walk back out again. Not because I remember I have art but because I remember I have it with Jessica. It's not like i can go out now though is it?
"Hey Vlad, come here!" Jessica calls from across the room and waves her hand in the air like I can't already hear her annoying voice.
I go over there any way as it is my seat but I don't sit down yet. She stands with me like I hoped she wouldn't and reaches her hand up. I wonder what she's doing as I feel her hand run through my hair. I hear girls around us suck in their breaths as if they want to kill Jess.
"How is your hair so soft Vlad? But it still stays up like this?" I gently tug her hand away from my hair and smile at her event though I hate her laying a finger on me even if it is my hair. Instantly I feel my fingers tingling wanting to make my hair right again and I obey them.
Ignoring me she places her hands on my waste and leans up on her tip toes waiting for me to kiss her. Again I push her away but I know my eyes are getting darker which I hope she can't see.
This times she looks at me, hurt.
"What are you doing Jessica?"
"Well you seemed to be mad I had a boyfriend yesterday."
"So you though that breaking up with him would automatically make me your boyfriend?" She nods. "I was only angry because that idiot tried to punch me. I really have no interest in you. I'm sorry."
Jessica's eyes start to water and Jamie pops out of no where. He doesn't attract any more attention though. They were all already watching the break up scene.
"Dump the girls as soon as they take interest then Vlad. Is that the strategy? I bet all the rumours are true that we thought the girls made up. You've nearly kissed every girl in this school right? What a man whore!" Jamie makes sure every one can hear.
"Actually no. Your wrong Jamie. I haven't kissed a single girl at this school."
Jamie looks confused then annoyed at his failed attempt. His face then turns In to one of humour which makes me the one who's confused. "Aww vladdy's never kissed a girl then?"
I smirk and his smile starts to fade. "Oh no don't get me wrong I've kissed a few girls in my time. For example I kissed a woman about 21 the other night and after a few drinks at the bar I left. Great night that was." It's not like its a lie I just leave out the part about the blood.
Every one stares dumbfounded at me Jamie regains his senses first and tries another stab at me. "God stop acting like your such a big man. I'm not scared of you Vlad?"
"Oh really? Your not? Then why are you standing far another away from me that I can't get quickly to you?" He doesn't know that I'm always going to be faster than him though.
"I just..."
"Or how about why do you keep moving away from me every time I move an inch closer?"
"I didn't..."
"And why if your not scared, are you trembling?"
"I'm not...
"Oh I definitely think you'll find you did all those things." I look around the room at the students blank faces and smile. "Well I think I've had enough drama today i think it's time for me to go."
I walk out the class but I don't leave. I stand by the door wanting to listen to the whispers they all think I can't hear. I wouldn't have told them about the woman I just though it would get them away from me. Apparently It hasn't worked though as all I hear from the girls is about 'who will I decide is the best out of them.' And 'who will I pick to me my girlfriend.'
There is also a lot of 'did you see how his muscles were so tight under that top while talking to Jamie?' And 'so I guess he's looking for older women. That means me!' There's also one that must be from the same girl who sits to the left of me again 'I told you he was a bad boy. Out drinking at his age.'
I shake my head at their stupidity and how little any of them appeal to me. Their all to bland and the same as each other. What's the point if all I will get is a clone girl.
I stay by my word and leave school deciding to stay in my coffin instead for the rest of the time. Dad doesn't know so i will just fake coming back.
The bell chimes for the end of the day so it's my que to flit to our front door that cuts off the school to our place.
Ingrid's already here before me.
We walk through the door together and i see dad looking somber as always sitting in his throne.
"Hey dad!" He just ignores me though which is something he never does. Even Ingrid looks surprised and a bit worried even though I doubt she would admit that. "Dad? What's wrong?" I try again. He looks at me pointedly like I should already know.
"What's wrong? Well I had a talk with the head mistress and you two are playing her up! Vlad remember where your place is in this family!" He warns me.
"Who do you want me to be dad? I'm not going to take everyone's crap like I used to. All they did was push me around! I'm a vampire now. The chosen one. You should respect that." I don't let my self succumb to his warning.
He comes towards me and slaps me around the face. It's the first time he's ever hit me seriously and I even see Ingrid cover her mouth in surprise.
"You will do as I say boy. You need to learn discipline. Rage over flows me and the darkness roars inside of me then happily pushes up in my stomach as I don't have the strength to push it down in my already angry state. I don't even mind. I welcome it for once.
With out even thinking about it I feel my hand shoot out and I see my father who's always managed to scare me growing up fly backwards into the wall and collapse on to the stone ground. It's my doing.
I walk over to him feeling like the darkness raps around me making shadows pulse as I walk. I lift him up so he's on his knees. "This is how you should always be in front of me. How everyone should be. I am your leader it's something you should remember. I'm not unaware your already getting weaker as with your title. No one finds you scary any more father, your not the Prince of darkness any more and soon I will be. You can live your shallow life with the breather woman. Miss McCauley."
His eyes widen at my comments and he tries to get up but I push him down again with one finger.
"Don't test me father you have only seen a small ounce of my power. Now i think I'm going to drain two of my pesky class mates."
I turn to Ingrid. "Would you like to come sister? The girl is O and the boy is AB we can share if you'd like?"
She nods at me but I can see she's scared and we go leaving dad behind us to pick himself up and fix his pride. I search my self but I'm to absorbed by darkness to feel the guilt. Yet.
I point to them as they walk through an alley holding hands seemingly made up and looking like nothing ever happened.
Ingrid and me already making our plans before this means I know precisely where to go.
I fly over to the end of the alley where they're slowly walking towards as Jamie tells rubbish jokes and Jessica laughs at them any way like what she is, a silly little girl.
They see me after a few seconds.
Even after today Jessica grins at me so apparently I'm forgiven. Jamie on the other hand, scowls.
"Hey Vlad! Are you ok?" Jessica asks flaunting her eyelashes at me that aren't very impressive.
"Oh I'm fine Jessica thanks." I let my eyes go black. "You two won't be though." My fangs descend.
They run foolishly screaming back down the alley the way they came but Ingrid walks out of the shadows stopping them in their tracks.
"Oh no. I don't think so. Your our dinner." She hisses at them and she turns Jamie as I turn Jess so they are looking at us and our eyes turn yellow.
(Jessica's P.O.V)
I'm so scared. They're vampires! I can't believe it, it's not right, there's no such thing. So what happening? God I'm so scared!
My eyes catch Vlad's though and there so bright and yellow that it calms me then his beautiful voice seeps into me making me want him to speak more and more and never stop.
"Be calm, you both want this. We are not trying to hurt you, why would we?"
I nod and see a pair of frighteningly beautiful teeth and start to feel jerky again.
I feel his whisper on my ear. "You want me Jess you know you do. You can have me now. I promise."
Of course nothing is wrong. It's Vlad he would never hurt me and I do want him more than I've wanted another guy. There's nothing wrong with him he's not a vampire. It's just me being silly.
I nod again this time vigorously wanting him to just kiss me already which is definitely what he wants to do. Not bite me. He's letting me have him.
Pain blasts through me but it must be something else. It will go in a minute of course it will because Vlad will protect me.
It does go and I start to smile before more pain comes and I wonder where Vlad is. He's probably just trying to fight it off, he'll be back in a minute.
I sigh as Vlad gets whatever it is off me and all the pain goes. I start to sink though instead, into what feels like inky black ness. And I can't feel a thing...
(Vlad's P.O.V)
The first bite is ok and it seems that way to Ingrid as well. Jess to me is just plain which if I'm honest is just like her personality.
The second is much more to my tastes and i don't see why Ingrid had a problem with it. When we swap there is a burst of taste. Arrogance and cocky ness seems to make a great meal.
I'm sorry if you don't like this chapter because there is a lot of bad Vlad In it and I may have scared my self a little bit. Also I know the last bit may not be to your taste but who said that thing about if you write what everyone wants then no one likes it but if you right what you want then a lot more do. I don't know who said that and I half believe it because as you should know I do like taking suggestions.
I've got to ask. Who's excited for young Dracula 5 and has any one seen the two promo pics Clare (Ingrid) put up on Instagram? *waves hand in the air 'me, me!' *
Ok thanks for reading, mention to friends nod get them to read it of you like it and of course if don't mind suggest it to them, that would be very helpful.
