Vlad flew into the Garside courtyard, closely followed by his father and sister. They all made contact with the ground and walked towards the large doors. Before they reached the door, Renfield had opened it for them. He was panting, and looked really flustered.They assumed that he'd seen them flying in, and came rushing down the stairs to open the door.
Renfield had been a vampire for years now, but he still hadn't mastered super speed, which explained the whole panting thing. This was strange, because he could smoke fairly well, which was quite a hard skill to master compared to the super speed.
Vlad had positioned himself on his father's throne. He knew his father would kill him if he did find him sitting on his throne. It wouldn't be an easy task though. Luckily, Ingrid and the Count had gone off to the blood cellar to argue over a bottle of vintage blood. Vlad could hear them yelling at each other. "I'm starving! I've only had half a breather tonight!" Ingrid screamed. "This is my house, so I decide who gets what Ingrid. I say, I drink this vintage!" defended the Count.
Although the arguments between his sister and father were annoying, Vlad was glad things were finally back to normal. Ingrid had actually argued with him on the way home. They were irritating as hell, but they were still his family. He loved them, and they loved him. In a weird vampiric way that is.
He decided to finish up eavesdropping on their argument. By eavesdropping, he meant more of actually choosing to listen to what was going on. Their nonstop yelling made it quite hard to ignore. He was distracted by a vibration and ping coming from his back pocket. It was a text from Robin.
They texted back and forth for about an hour. They mentioned anything and everything they hadn't managed to talk about in the Reunion. It was then that Renfield walked in, with Ingrid and the Count in pursuit. Vlad still hadn't looked up from his phone, regrettably. He only did so when his father's voice penetrated Ingrid's giggles. They were most certainly 'Ha! You're in trouble instead of me for once!' giggles.
"Vladimir, do get out of my throne." Said the count as if he were bored. This made Ingrid glare at Vlad. He merely shot her a defiant smirk. Vlad stuffed the phone in his back pocket as quickly as he could, and sat down to eat his lunch.
"What's that Vladdy?" asked his father. "Oh, nothing." Replied Vlad quite confidently. The Count shrugged it off, but Ingrid obviously had to butt in. "Vlad has a mobile phone Dad." She said rather casually, but her eyes were full of glee. 'Oh this'll be fun' she thought. "Let me see Vladdy." Ordered the Count. Vlad handed the phone to his father, and gave Ingrid a dirty look. The Count examined the phone, then burst out in a fit of rage "Vladimir, I told you! No mobile phones!" This caused multiple books to fall from their designated shelves and lightning to strike outside. Surprisingly, Vlad seemed bored. He must be used to the High Council having temper tantrums 24/7, so this wasn't anything new. "Yeah, yeah, now I'd appreciate if I could eat my food in peace." The Count was lost for words.
Vlad wore a self-satisfied smile across his face as he sat down, much to the dismay of Ingrid. How she'd looked forward to a good row that didn't include her. They sat down, and soon forgot about the whole phone thing when their father said "So, how much destruction did you two cause?" Both Vlad and Ingrid glanced at each other, in pure excitement to tell what antics they'd gotten up to.
Well that's the real end of this fic! This chapter was a little short, but ah well. Hope you enjoyed the read!!
I will be starting on my other fic Not Quite Soulmates. It's gonna be a ship, but with a character from a different YD fic which I thought was perfect for the storyline. Her name is Scathach (Scatty for short) Grim. I got the OC from BrennaThomas' How Having An Old Friend Around Can Change So Much. She has recently changed the story to feature a girl called Lilith instead of Scatty but it's still the same storyline (I think, I just skimmed through it quickly to check). It's definitely worth the read though! I enjoyed it, although it isn't finished.
It's not gonna be frisky, more fluffy (ish) i guess. I'm not gonna say more than that. I'd appreciate it if you check it out once I start writing it :D
Thanks for reading my fic, and for the final time, please review if you can ~ Minty :)
