I haven't posted another chapter on this for ages, this is the incomplete final chapter, review if you want me write out the end...
10 minutes later:
Vlad sat at a black table, seated across from Robin, they were alone in the dinning room and away from distraction.
"Okay Robin", Vlad said, urging the goth boy to look up at him, "Now focus, look deep into my eyes and look no where else", Robin took on a froze, hypnotized stance and Vlad continued, "You will remember everything, every memory I have caused you to supress will be undone, you WILL remember everything".
Vlad snapped his fingers and Robin snapped out of his stupor.
Vlad watched the quiet goth and asked anxiously, "Robin?".
Robin's downcast eyes slowly gazed up towards Vlad, a small smile broke out across Robin's previously down cast face, "Vlad? ...What are we doing here? ...This isn't Stokely, is it?".
Vlad grinned back, "No Robin, no it isn't, are you okay?".
Robin shrugged, "Sure why wouldn't I be?".
Vlad frowned slightly, wondering whether somehow giving back Robin's memories had caused him to lose other, more recent ones, "I dunno just asking".
Robin seemed unconcerned by Vlad's question and glanced around himself, "What time is it anyway, it seems dark".
Confused, Vlad shrugged, "Nah, we're in a windowless room, it's about 1:30 in the afternoon".
"Huh, is Ingrid here?", Robin asked, grinning slightly.
"Yeah", Vlad replied, forcing on a smile (just happy to see his best friend happy), "I'll bring her to see you if you want?".
"What? Now?", Robin replied, giving the kind of eager grin he used to give when he thought he had a chance with the Dracula vampiress.
"Sure!", Replied Vlad, eager to keep Robin happy, "Just wait here a minute I'll come back".
"Cool", answered Robin, grinning as Vlad left to go and find Ingrid.
Wanting to get there and back as quickly as possible, Vlad sped up his movements, moving as a blur until he got to his sister's room. Hastily he knocked on the closed door, and was met with Ingrid's moody responce, "Go away, this is a Vlad free zone!".
Vlad pulled a face, "How did you know... Ingrid, I've got someone who really like to meet you".
"Let me guess, your pet breather? ...Dad told me he tried to attack you earlier, maybe you should try for a pet dog in the future instead, less chance of it turning and trying to 'slay' you!".
Vlad sighed, this wasn't going to be easy, "Come on Ingrid, he's alright now".
Ingrid laughed from inside her room, "Yeah, right! You want me to come out so I can get attacked too? Fat chance!".
"No Ingrid, really, it's different... I gave him his memories back".
The bedroom door immediately opened and Ingrid's worried face appeared around the side of it, "You did what? You've just given a vampire hating breather all of his old memories back, memories about vampires, our weaknesses, about how to destroy our kind".
Vlad shrugged, "Yeah, but, Ingrid, it's Robin, he wouldn't hurt a...".
"Where is he?!", Ingrid frantically asked.
Vlad sighed and shot off as a blur, Ingrid followed.
Vlad stopped at the door of the room where he'd left Robin, he turned to Ingrid, "Alright, he's in here, just be nice ok?".
Ingrid nodded, "Yeah, whatever, just open the door!".
"Okay...", shrugged Vlad, confused by his sister's sudden interest in his best friend he opened the closed door, "Hey Robin, guess who's here to see you... Robin?". Vlad opened the door fully and glanced around the room, Robin was gone.
Vlad glanced worriedly back towards Ingrid, "H-He probably just went to have a walk around the castle...". Ingrid rolled her eyes,,"You dumb-bat, he's run off! Look, let's just find him before dad decides to make him lunch, you take the groundfloor and the cellars, I'll take all the upstairs rooms, let's go".
Ingrid sped off, Vlad sighed and then sped off too, wondering why Ingrid was suddenly so concerned about Robin's livelihood.
10 minutes later:
Vlad slowed down and stopped in a hallway of his dad's half of the school castle, it was hopeless, Robin was nowhere to be seen, Vlad couldn't figure out how Robin could have hidden in his Dad's castle so easily... Until a worrying thought occured to him. Vlad quickly ran to the top spire of the castle, he looked through the dimmed glass of the windows which overlooked everything within the grounds.
It was there that Vlad saw exactly what he hadn't wanted to see- Robin stood in the middle of the grass lawn, basking in the sun- and knowing that the Vampires had no chance of getting to him anytime soon.
Biting his lip, Vlad sped back downstairs to try and convince Robin to come back.
Getting out of the castle door, Vlad sped through the shadows the castle possesed, trying desperatly to find - "Robin!", Vlad called, seeing his 'friend' mere meters away from the shadows, standing with his arms stretched out, like he couldn't believe sunlight still existed.
"Robin!", Vlad called again trying and suceeding in getting's his friend's attention the second time around.
Robin opened one eye to see Vlad, he jumped in suprise and worry at seeing a vampire so close, only to start smirking when he realised the vampire couldn't possibly touch him from where he was.
Robin turned around to face Vlad and gave him a disturbed 'try-it-if-you-can' type of smile before speaking, "Oh hi, mate! What are you doing here? Have you come to bask in the sun too? ...Oh no, I forgot... You can't!". Robin broke off to laugh hysterically, and Vlad gave a concerned frown, "Robin, would you just come over here...". "Oh no, I'm enjoying this far too much! ...Kinda like how your people enjoyed my sister".
Vlad's face was blank, he didn't know what to say, "I-I thought you'd forgotten that".
Robin smirked, his face remaining that of an eternal smile despite the anger slowly eminating through his deadly quiet voice, "You thought I'd forgotten about that? Who the pissing hell could? I held her in my arms as she died, she was crying, she just kept saying that she loved me and that she wanted to see our parents... AND YOU KNOW WHAT I DID? ...Nothing... Absolutely nothing... Cuz I was stuck in that room with her, I couldn't stop her bleeding and I couldn't convince those apathetic bastards to help her. Do you have any idea what it's like to lose a sibling? Do you?".
Vlad bit his lip, "Robin... Why don't you just come back and we can-".
"And you can what? Torture me to death like you did my sister?".
Vlad sighed despairingly, knowing there was no way he'd be able to chase after him in the daylight, "Robin".
Robin stared directly at Vlad and gave a smaller smile, "Goodbye Vlad!", Robin turned and ran, speeding across the stone courtyard and past the castle buildings, quickly disappearing out of sight.
Vlad yelled after him, "No, Robin, where are you going? Robin, come back!".
8:30 pm, an hour before sunset:
Vlad, Ingrid and the Count sat quietly in their highly furbished 'living room', Vlad and Ingrid sitting on the red leather sofa while the Count lounged on an luxurious red armchair. Ingrid was first to break the silence, "This is all your fault you know, Vlad!". Vlad stared, suprised how she could possibly come to that conclusion, "What, how is it my fault?!".
Ingrid rolled her eyes, "You gave him his memories back, 'you' let him remember everything and 'now' we have a disturbed vampire hater out there, with knowledge of how to destroy every one of us!".
"Now, now children...", the Count interrupted, adjusting in his chair and glancing to both of them, "Let's not point fangs-".
"You'd point one at me if it was my fault", Ingrid snapped back. The Count grinned in a slightly agreeing way, "Yes, well even so...".
Vlad gave an irritated sigh, "Even so, Robin's still missing and we still don't have a plan". Ingrid smirked, "What's the point, were're in the middle of the countryside Vlad (in this story the school is a boarding school placed in the middle of nowhere), your precious little breather's probably lost and it's not like we can go searching for him while the sun's still up!".
Vlad stared incrediously at her, "What? Ingrid!"
The count stopped him, "No, Ingrid's right Vladdy... For once, we'll just have to wait until nightfall and then we can all-".
"Er, Master?", Reinfield stood behind the Count, who turned to face him in an irritated fashion.
"It's for you Master", Reinfield continued, holding out a cordless home phone.
"Well why didn't you say, you simpering fool!", the count snatched the phone and held it upside down to the side of his head, "Hello, hello... There's no one there...".
Ingrid put her head in her hands, laughing.
"Er Dad?", Vlad called, the Count looked to him and Vlad mimed moving the around the other way in his hands. Feeling a bit idiotic, the Count copied, "Hello? Oh, hello! Yes? ...'Really'? ...Of course, I'll be there right away!". He gave the phone back to Reinfield, an irritated look pasted on his features.
Vlad was the first to break the silence, "Dad what is it?".
Still looking quite infuriated, the Count quietly answered, "That was Mrs, apparently she was driving back here from her two week holiday and get who ran right infront of her car?".
Vlad panicked, "Robin? Is he alright?"
"Yes...", the Count answered, in his still brooding mood, "For now, let's just get him before Mrs gets the police involved and they start looking for his... Parents".
