Both Robin and Vlad were now sitting in silence. Vlad was confused as hell, trying his best to figure out why the hypnosis hadn't worked on his best mate. Robin on the other hand was trying to think of how to tell Vlad that his eyes were black, clearly with thought, without him possibly lashing out at him. Looking on the plus side, he now knew that Vlad hadn't found a cure for vampirism. It was awesome! His best mate was a vampire. Not just any vampire eithe, but the Chosen One aswell. Vlad's eyes had returned to their normal shade of blue and was now looking at Robin, intrigued.
"So you remember absolutely everything?" He asked calmly. Robin nodded his head, indicating that Vlad's query was in fact correct. "But how.. How do you remember?" He pleaded. "When you hypnotised everyone, Jonno and I became friends," Started Robin. Vlad was now staring at him with great interest. Robin continued "Well, I was over at his and we heard a knock on the door. His dad went to check it out, thinking it was the pizza we ordered." Robin had barely started, but Vlad had an extremely guilty and pained look on his face. He saw where this was headed. "Go on.." Vlad said his voice sounding slightly off. "He was- uh, dragged from the door screaming. I turned around and so did Jonno and saw him gone. We bolted to the door and saw him sprawled on the floor, blood everywhere, his whole body limp." Robin said trying to hold back as much emotion as he could. It was an extremely hard subject to talk about. He continued "His mum came rushing from the sitting area panicking. The vampire who'd done it to him had flown off into the night. We all rushed towards him, but he was definitely dead. All of a sudden my head felt like it was exploding. All the memories I had of us two in the castle, your dad and his pals hissing at us in out veg outfits the last time we saw you, everything. Every memory I ever had came back to me! Jonno and his mum went off to find you, try to kill you. I tried to stop them, but they didn't listen.." By now Robin had finally caved in and a tear rolled down bis cheek. The whole experience must've been traumatising for him.
"Im so, so sorry Robin, I thought only the Van Helsings got their memories back!" Said Vlad in a remorseful voice. Robin accepted his apology, but then realised, how did Vlad know about the Van Helsings? "How'd you know that they'd got their memories wiped back aswell?" He asked. "Oh, yeah, that. They turned up one day at the school I was living in at the time. Well I still live there, just it's not a school anymore. They tried to slay us countless times. Mina was so distraught over Eric's death. Jonathan and I became friends believe it or not" Vlad explained. Robin looked at him in confusion after Vlad's supposed explanation.
Vlad went on to explain how they'd fled fron Stokely after Ingrid went wild. How they'd arrived at Garside. Then about the ceasefire between vampires and slayers. It had been working for awhile, but rouge vampires put so much pressure on the slayers, they cracked. They began to bite back, causing a riff between the Grand High Vampire and the head of the Slayers Guild, which happened to be Vlad and Jonathan. They were now on very bad terms. In the middle of this mess, Jonathan and his mother had tried to slay the Count. Outraged, Vlad had attacked Mina a week later. He didn't intend on killing her, merely nipping her throat to give her a scare. However his plan hadn't gone to plan. Slayers blood was just so delicious, he drained her dry within seconds. This left the ceasefire in complete and utter shambles. The word spread and attacks were rising. They had been on verge of war, but luckily, things had calmed down recently. Vlad began to wonder why.
Robin's eyes were in awe. He couldn't believe the life, well unlife Vlad was leading was so much cooler than his. Vlad looked at Robin in a disappointed fashion. He'd never understand Robin's capability to enjoy hearing about such things. He was a breather, and usually breathers hated that type of stuff. Although Robin had always been different from other breathers.
They ended up talking about Vlad's life, being Grand High Vampire. Getting to tell everyone what to do and what not. They had just got to the 'how much power does the Chosen One have' part when Ingrid came up to Vlad with a panic stricken face. "Can you smell that?" she asked Vlad hurriedly. "Smell what?" Vlad asked her back, slightly disoriented by her sudden appearance. "Slayer you bat brain!" She said quietly, but not quiet enough that Robin didn't hear. Before Vlad could answer, Robin said "Even if they are here, doubt they'd find you in this crowd." and gestured at the surrounding people. "Oh righ- Hold on! How the hell do you remember Branagh?!" Ingrid spat at Robin. "I'll tell you later." replied Robin. His attention had shifted towards Vlad, whose eyes were black again and were staring at a familiar figure in the door way. "Slayer." He growled, as his fangs lowered. Ingrid's head then snapped towards the door "Van Helsing!" she hissed, clearly angry at this sudden asset to the event. "Wicked fangs mate" added Robin, in attempt to lighten the mood, which only won him a glare from the equally agitated Draculas.
