`Present Day: I woke up in a new place, I had no idea where i was there was no one in the room it was empty. I could feel were Vlad fangs had been but i felt dead inside but outside human i didn't feel like i did when i was captured by Van-Helsing i felt weak,limbless i didn't have the energy to move. But then Vlad came in and sat down on the floor next to me his head in his hands and his face paler than it normally was.
"Layla,I'm sorry to say this...were not in Stockly anymore..."He started
Back to the story;
I woke up back in the cellar were i first was,but this time i was not alone,Vlad,Ingrid and Dad was with me. There was a wall of bars and candles scatted around everyone else was unconscious,i was probably awake since I'm half breather and I'm not effected at this age by garlic gas but it seemed my vampire self was knocked out still.I closed my eyes and concentrated, i focused everything to re awake the vampire me since she was more powerful and i needed her at this moment.
"Finally awake are we breather?" A voice came from the corner...It was the Vampire me
"Ugh?! how are you doing this?" I asked irritated
"Im in your mind Layla,Im you! but you know not now cos well I'm here standing in front of you! time to merge early!" She laughed
"What?! NO! I don't want to! why are you doing this! please its only 12 days! Cant you wait!"I screamed. Out of no were Ingrid appeared infant of me, fangs out and fists clenched.
"Leave her alone! She's not ready get back to your mirror" Ingrid said hissing. She fled imminently. "Thanks" I said breathing slowly "Its fine,Ive delt with these Reflections at least twice vlads was the worst, we just can't let it take over you if you are the 'Osirian" Ingrid said whispering. She smiled and brought me into a hug "We've got to find a way out of here before sunrise or were toast"She said pointing at the Window and the back of the room that was wide and filled most of that wall no curtains just bars. "Better wake these to then" I laughed and then ingrid went over and flicked Vlad who ended up jumping up with a fire ball in his hands,He'd clearly remember what he needed to do.
"Sorry...thought you was a slayer" he said in a weak voice. Dad jumped up moving his hair out of his face stretched and said "Right were are we then?" "Honestly you don't remember anything that happened do you?" Vlad said."Not at all my boy" Dad said and then looked over at me "Layla My girl how are you doing?"
"Im good dad now how are we getting out of here?" I asked
Everyone but me turned around and Hissed, the vampire who knocked us out was back but this time he had a key and some fang cuffs. he sniffed the air and said "Human...half vampire" Then sped over and fang cuffed me and the room began to spin and change. I droped to the floor disorinentted and Dizzy. I tried to stand up and defend myself but the dizziness was so bad it was un bearable. The Vampire began to endure my sent and walked around the room in circules his fangs sharpening until eventually he flashed infront of me kneled down grabbed my head and began to sink his fangs into my neck. I thought this was it, i thought i was going to be a vampire early, that i was never going to see mum,Todd,Liam or Sydney again. But then out of no were
"LEAVE HER ALONE"Someone shouted. it took a few seconds to realise who it was and when i knew i shouted "VLAD HELP ME!"
He sped over to me while the other vampire shot back in pain.
"Whats? whats wrong with him?" I croak struggling for breath "You have vampire vemum in you. Vampires cant rake the pain,Your a strong one though,yours like mine is harmful for others to suck out it can kill the biter instantly"Vlad explained
"Am i going to turn into a Vampire early?" I asked Vlad struggling for breath..."No...No not if i suck the venim out" Vlad said.
"Ok" I said holding his hand Staring into his eyes that could possibly be the last time. As he tilted my head to the side i saw Ingrid and Dad interrogating the other Vampire. Just as i thought i was drifting into a memory i saw Todd storming into the room with a stake in his hand pointing to the boy with dad and Ingrid.
"Todd...p..Please dont hurt them...i...its not..not their fault." I said slurring my words
"I'm not going to hurt your family Layla. Just this revolting creature here"Todd explained putting the stake up to the Vampires chest. "if Vlad saves you I'll leave the Dracula's alone and help when you call. If he fails I will hunt you all down. Even if your my step daughter,the Vamp you won't be" Todd Continued
Dad and Ingrid left Todd to handle the struggling Vampire. They came and gathered round me and Vlad. "Ready?" Vlad said shaking "Just do it" I told him. Dad took my other and and kissed it gently and began to whisper silently to himself. Ingrid on the other Hand sat their worried. My vision began to blur,my neck becoming number by the minute until I saw nothing. I heard Ingrid Say to Vlad "Have you cured her?" "yes Ingrid. Venim is all gone. She decides if she stays or if she goes" Vlad replied with. I let go of both Vlad and Dad's hands and became numb all over. I felt the last breath leave my lungs and a cold presence came over me. A cold dead feeling numbed me to the bone. I felt scared,Lost,Alone,Angry. But there was nothing I could do. Nothing at all my thoughts became silent. I heard my heart beat suddenly. Slowing down until nothing...
Vlads POV
"Not now Dad" I moaned
"Why not my boy,Just let me see her" Dad complained
"She's not come round yet. I'm still figuring out how she got her powers" I grunted walking over to the book shelf. I looked down and remembered the first day here,when Robin hid behind it while I was stuck improvising.
"I told you Vladdy. she's the osarian. Same powers as you,only weaker" Dad said snapping the book shut on my hands.
"It doesn't make sense though. She can't have her powers early.I got them by wearing the crown of the grand high vampire . As I am after all the chosen one" I explained.
Just as dad was about to talk,Ingrid burst in.
"Amanda,Sydney And Liam are coming up to the castle!" she shouted
"Todd! Get up here. Leave Layla as she is." I shout speeding around closing books and putting goblets away.
The doors burst open and Amanda came storming into the throne room. "It's been 4 days! I haven't seen my daughter in 4 days and she's 16 in 8 days! Sydney and Liam miss her! Todd keeps disappearing in the day. Comes back in the afternoon and the disappears again at night! tell me what is going on!" She shouted. att the completely long time Todd walkes in and stops dead in his tracks as Amanda stares at him.
"darling...erm...hi there." Todd said in comfortably
"Would you like to explain what you are doing up here. And the where a bouts of your step-daughter." Amanda said in fury
"Well..the thing is dear. She was taken I'll a while back. You see Vlad is very good with medicines so he's been treating her. She's not up to visitors.,and she doesn't really want to see any one. Especially you and the kids." Todd explained
"But...why? WHY WONT YOU LET ME SEE MY DAUGHTER" She shouted storming over to Vlad and grabbing his wrists.
"Now now Amanda. You leave my son alone. He's doing a grand job treating Layla. Once she's concious I'm sure Todd will let you know" Dad snapped marching over to me and releasing the grip of Amanda's arms.
"now darling. I think it's best we leave. When she wants to see you she'll call. Don't worry" Todd said ushering them all away. Once backs were turned Todd gave a little nod signalling he'll be back up later
"I'm going to check on Layla" I moaned to dad
"Not without me" Dad said happily
"No. not yet" I replied and sped off to where Layla lay peacefully. She looked so sweet. So calm. Happy. At rest. For moments I stared at her. Having a feeling of great sadness sweep over me I thought she left us. That she chose the other path. Gone to the other side. But then I saw her stir and a feeling of relief lifted the sadness from my chest. Ingrid came busting in seconds later with a huge book in her hand. "In here it says 'Wether a pre-teen vampire had special ability or not he/she is capable of summoning the power from instinct in a time of danger or threat to the family blood line or species. More commonly known to the vampire destined to be the chosen one and or osarian' " Ingrid read aloud. "So any young Vampire can show power. If in danger that is" I summarized "it still doesn't explain why she threw me too a wall and shot a fire ball at me...There was no danger around" I explained
"ugh Vlad. Don't you understand. A breather is a danger to our species. It wasn't her. It was instinct. Amanda was obviously ease dropping your conversation. It makes perfect sense. Now do you realise she's the osarian." Ingrid moaned in a rather impressive way
"Well when you put it that way Ingrid it sounds true. Normal i mean. I guess we'll have to deal with what Amanda saw that night soon" I moan
"in the mean time, how's she doing? Any signs of waking up?" Ingrid asked. "None at all,she's alive though, she was moving a minute ago,if she is the osarian she'll probably be In the dream world, let's hope she survives in there." I reply back
"How many times! She's the osarian! We know it, stop denying it, you can't do this alone, she'll be great help when you come in to power..along with me and dad of course" Ingrid said In annoyance. " oh Ingrid, if only I was to let pure evil, soul stealing vampires help me out, I'll do just fine on my own" I laugh to Ingrid. She bared her fangs, eyes turning black and said "thanks for the compliment" and sped out of the room.
I knelt down next to Layla,Watching her like i usually did,after what felt like hours i saw something unusual. Her eyes were flickering. "Dad!DAD!" I shouted upwards. He came rushing in. "What is it m'boy?" he asked."Its Layla! Shes waking up! Shes becoming conscious!" i shout in glee. Ingrid wondered into the room, with a cheerful looking Todd. I stood back joining the others. We all watched in suspense, to see how she was. To speak to her for the first time in 4 days.
"Where...Where am i?" She stuttered, struggling to open her eyes. "Where's Vlad?" She asked afterwards. "Im here. Im here Lay" i said kneeling down beside her once again squeezing her hand to signal my presence. "What...What happened?"she asked after a few minutes of struggling to open her eyes fully."You was bitten!By that son-of-a-bitch Vampire who killed you. I saved you from early transformation, i took the Venom out, You might be in pain for a few days and you'll have your fangs early,You'll still be eating normal food, your not a fully fledged vampire yet, dont worry were here to look after you. all of us"I explained while she searched the room looking at each and every face, finally mine, with tears in her eyes, s e eventually said "Im so sorry, i shouldn't have let you do it! Your my brother! the Chosen one. Im supposed to be protecting you not the other way round. You could have been killed by the venom." "Its Okay. Im older by 4 days. We can look after each other" I reassured her. "Thank you. Now all of you, even you Todd, I need a promise ,that you wont start a Vampire fued and i Cant see my hum-Sorry Breather Family. AND you wont go and put yourselves in danger for me. Im not important, Vlad is." Layla Proposed. Every one looked at each other with determination on each face and said in unison "We Promise" Dad gave her a little wink, Ingrid smiled, Todd looked Proud and i was over the moon at seeing my sister looking healthy and happier than shed ever been in weeks.
We stayed up all night, Laughing talking, being like a normal family, something i loathed for so was 2am by the time Todd left us. Dad and Ingrid went out hunting while i stayed in talking to Layla for much longer. She had come up with an Idea, Knowing that in 8 days she would be becoming a Vampire, and there was no chance that she'd be strong enough to see or even speak to Amanda without question. She wrote a letter, Explaining why she had to leave the house addressed to 'Mum and Todd" and another one to Sydney and Liam, not mentioning anything about Vampires.
It was 4am. There was a chime from the old grandfather clock downstairs, and a big thud on the floor. Layla had was home. He came rushing into the room. Picking her up and placing her into her bed. "Her body's reacting to the second bite. Your bite Vladdy." He said. But she should be fine, no early transformation!" I said in panic. "No no. not that. she should have been awoke a day before her transformation. Her mum,Sydeny and Liam being here, pulled her through. This close to the transformation and can be dangerous for her to be awake. Her Vampire instinct is protecting her. We should leave her be. Check on her in the morning Vladdy." He explained steering me out of the room.
Counts POV
I stood and watched over Layla, waiting for a remedy from reinfield.
"Master! Master! I have it." He came bustling in, smelling like dead rats and mice droppings. "Good." I said while briefly whacking him on the head with the bottle.
"Now, since all the secrets of your children are coming out, when are you telling master Vlad and Mistriss Layla that they are twins born on different days?. "When the time is right Reinfield. When the time is right." I said strolling out of the room flicking my hair over my shoulder.
