Please help get my story more followers if you can don't really know how though.
Disclaimer: only plot and things you've never seen before that is mine the rest is cbbc's.
(Vlad's P.O.V)
Ouch. I bang my head on my coffin... Again. Probably the blood making me a bit woozy. I've never had so much in one sitting never mind the alcohol. We probably drank to much but it was a lot of fun.
I'm finally going to start my GCSE's. They've been settling Ingrid and I in and now they want to sort it out. I've just been set random classes so far.
I don't actually need to do it though as over the years I didn't go to school I taught my self. I learnt as much as I could thinking that I wouldn't be back at school to learn it there.
That was before I became a vampire and the slayers came.
I already know what I want to do and I'm going to make it happen.
I walk downstairs with a headache that this time I have no idea how to cure.
I walk down stairs wearing black jeans and polo neck with black army boots. Miss McCauley has requested that we dress more causal today as apparently someone's coming to see how Ingrid and I are doing and go over our choices. So I have to lose my leather jacket today.
Dad motions for me to come towards him from his place in his throne.
"Dad what do you want." We haven't actually discussed what I did to him or him letting me have Bertrand here. I'm not really sure where we stand with each other.
"After your training tonight I want to talk to you ok?"
I look at him questioningly wondering what it could be but I give up when I get no answer and nod instead. He starts to read a newspaper so I zoom in the vampire way down to school.
I wait outside the class where miss McCauley told me the visitor will be for the day.
"Next." A thin blonde woman in a suit and has glasses with her hair tight and in a bun pokes her head around the door and shouts as Ingrid walks out the door and rolls her eyes at me. Obviously she did not have fun in there.
She ushers me in and shakes my hand before directing me to sit down and does the same.
"Hello Vladimir.."
"Call me Vlad." I correct only other vampires can and do call me Vladimir.
"Vlad then. What are your choices? You should know already that you have to take English, maths, science and ICT. We would also like you to do at least one humanity." She clasps her hands on the table trying to look superior.
"Of course I'm going to take the ones you said are needed. I'm also going to be taking geography as my humanity."
I'm only agreeing to this as I know I'm going to need to know the world. I need it for strategies and plans.
"I will take all the languages you do here; German, French and Spanish."
She nods at me and starts to pick files up but I carry on.
"Then there is P.E meaning, I want to do that."
I haven't actually done P.E here as well as most of the other lessons I've picked and I won't be able to do it when it means contact. My vampire strength means I will definitely hurt the person I'm playing with or against in any sport. This though is one of the things Bertrand and I talked about last night and he's asked me to do the parts of P.E I can. He has said that P.E will help with co - ordination, reflexes and make me persistent. He has also asked me to go to the gym for at least an hour and try for two after school each day before I come to him for training. We also agreed on me going for a run in the morning before school. I won't have time for really anything else but I under stand my time here is needed to be used mainly for training no matter how different I was thinking a few weeks ago about living normally for a while. I also wanted to be trained and that's exactly what I'm getting.
I'm doing the languages because vampires are from every where and I will be able to converse and discuss things with others from different countries when I need to.
Obviously I know English but then I have the advantage of knowing welsh from Stokely. Then I speak my homeland tongue that every true vampire should know and speak fluently. Transylvanian.
She's looking at me and her stare looks confused but I ignore it.
"And finally I'm going to take art."
That one is plainly for me but it's basically my way of getting through all the other things I now have to do. No one is going to stop me doing this.
The woman who's name I still don't know and don't really care enough to ask moves her glasses on her nose and fidgets in her chair. I already know what she's going to say to me and I won't like it.
"Well you see Vlad you can not do that, you have named to many subjects..."
She cuts off and her mouth hangs lose as she stares into the pits of my now turning yellow eyes.
"Your going to let me. You are going to sort it all out no questions asked."
She nods slowly as I click my fingers and then she sits up. I lie back in my chair.
"You can do the subjects but it will be hard and you will probably quit in time." She sounds too sure of her self.
I won't quit I never quit any more. I shrug instead of saying what I want to and she continues.
"Ok then. I'll send you your time table in the morning, you might as well go back home now."
I nod at her liking that idea but I think I have a better one.
I stand up and shake her hand that she holds out again. As soon as I let go she wipes her hand on her sweating brow and I can tell she's intimidated by me. I walk out the door and chuckle. Maybe that was a little fun.
I lie on a weightlifting bench and pull the heaviest weight they offer up and down. I've been doing this for a straight three quarters of an hour already.
This is my other idea and so far I've made quite a crowd as no one seems to believe that I've been here for so long with out breaking a sweat or having un steady breathing.
I'm not stupid so I know that they are going to know something's up and that this is not normal so I get up planning to move on to something else when my sister pops up in front of me.
"Vlad what are you doing?"
"I feel like your always asking me that question."
"Yes well your always doing something weird or strange."
"How is going to the gym weird?" I question. We walk to one of the chin up bars in the gym and I place my hands on it getting ready.
"It's just your my little brother your not aloud to look bigger than me."
I sigh and put my arm around her and she tries to squeeze out of my arm but I stay put. "Ingrid I've been bigger than you since I was changed. I'm just improving."
"Garlic. This is so Bertrand's fault."
I put my hand back on the bar but smile at her. "I would think you would like to have him around."
She widens her eyes at me. "And what is that supposed to mean?" I pull up on the bar for the first time and easily pull my self up and then add something extra, I turn myself over the bar and do a flip over the top and stay dangling from the bar after before doing another chin up and going down on to my feet again to talk to Ingrid.
I stop as I'm about to say something to her though because she's staring ahead of us her mouth open in surprise and her eyebrows raised in anger. It's quite an amusing expression so I turn my head to see what it's about.
She stares at a long blonde haired girl who stares at me and smiles when she sees me looking. Instantly Ingrid goes even higher on the crazy sister level. "Are you seriously staring at my brother right now?" She basically screams at the girl. "He's not a piece of meat."
The girl runs off looking terrified and Ingrid grabs me by the arm and chucks me in the changing room. I jump in the shower even though i don't really need it and just get back in my un sweaty black shorts and vest top which I wore in the gym. I just add a huddie over the top.
Ingrid's still waiting for me as I come out. We walk back up to our 'house' slowly not really wanting to rush.
"What was that all about anyway?" I question.
"I don't know just stressed I guess and missing my old little brother. The one that had no idea what he was doing. Your so old now and I miss it I guess. You have everything handled."
I scoff. "If you think I have it all sorted Ingrid then your crazy. I'm completely scared every day. I have no idea how you miss me though. You used to hate me."
"Don't be silly Vlad. I still hate you." She giggles which is a sound I'm not sure I've heard ever come out of her mouth. Her giggle stops abruptly as she realises what the sound she made actually was and I see her groping for a change of conversation. "What were you going to say before about Bertrand?" She finally lands on a topic and looks relieved.
"Well you asked what I meant." I remind ear and she nods for me to continue. "And I mean why don't you ask Bertrand out? I think he has a thing for you and I haven't seen you go out with anyone since we got here and that's kind of a record. There's nothing stopping you."
As soon as I say it her eyes widen and she wraps her arms around her self. "I can't Vlad. I mean... You know... Will."
Were at the door and I smile at her putting my arms around her and for once I'm surprised she doesn't move out of them. "I wasn't really friends with Will and I didn't really know him but I do think that he wouldn't have wanted you to be like this Ingrid and frankly you know he would be disgusted in the way you are acting."
"Any how am I acting Vlad?" She doesn't ask it like she's mad and she snuggles even further into my chest. Like she really wants to know and she has no idea herself.
"We've both changed and I'm not sure if mine is good or bad but yours is definitely not good. You don't know who you are any more. You need to move on and I'm pretty sure the first step is Bertrand." She nods and I open my arms so she can get out.
"I'll try." She tells me "Your a great brother Vlad. Thank you." She seems so vulnerable and I smile down at her. "Do you want to go get a bottle of blood?" She questions.
I start to say yes but remember something and shake my head instead. "I can't I'm sorry. Dad wants to talk to me about something and then I've got my first lesson with Bertrand."
She rolls her eyes then shrugs. "It's fine is not like I actually need you." And the strong Ingrid's back. She turns away from me before running up stairs. I open the door and dad's waiting for me in his throne. I walk towards him and he sits there with his arms crossed and a heard Stoney look on his face.
"What did you want dad?" I ask.
"I want fifty fifty Vlad." He tells me bluntly.
"What?" My brow furrows having no idea what he's talking about.
"When you become the high vampire I want to share the power with you which means I want us to have fifty fifty."
"Oh really?" I raise an eyebrow and mimic how his arms are crossed. "And what am I going to get out of this?"
He stands up quickly making me take a step back. "If you agree with this Vlad I will support you in the things you want to do and won't be so hard on you. I will also relax the regent things as long as you don't pass to far over my breaking point. What do you say Vlad? Freedom or confinement?"
I sigh and throw my hands in the air. "What have I got to lose really?"
I know this is short for how long you've waited for it but I've got other projects at the moment and other ideas I want to try and to be honest I'm not really getting enough responses or follows to want to carry on with this. I am going to try and do it though because some of you are giving me really positive responses. If you do actually want me to carry in then send a review or something so I know your actually reading.
