Blood Loyalties Young Dracula

'Dear Vlad. It was all an act.

'Mina and Jonno know what you are.

'The mind-wipe was never in place.

'They plan to attack with the Slayers' Guild.

'You may not believe me, but I'll prove it to you.

'Please, watch out for Ingrid. She's converting girls into vampires.

'They already tried to kill you. Don't trust her.'

ZOLTAN SIGHS

More lies from your breather,

slayer girlfriend.

Some of it could be true.

-You mean the bit about Ingrid being a devious traitor?

-She's delusional.

Look, I know you've changed,

but if the slayers are planning an attack, we need to be ready.

I knew it was a mistake to let the slayer girl live.

Don't blame yourself.

I don't, I blame him.

Me? What did I do?

My orders were quite clear. You were supposed to...

..not...do anything. Right!

Who's for a glass of vintage blood? My treat.

You ordered Bertrand to get rid of Erin?

It was you. You locked her on the balcony!

We were trying to protect you.

-By eradicating my girlfriend?

-The past...

..is...is past.

What's important is the family stays together.

Is there no-one I can trust?

Well, I definitely wouldn't trust Erin.

He really likes her.

Maybe he even thinks he's in love.

Vlad needs closure.

Yes, closure.

You think it would help if Vlad had a good long talk with Erin?

No.

I think it would help if we hunt her down and drain her.

Master.

Miss McCauley wants to see you.

Really?

Tell her I'll be half an hour, then help me prepare.

Prepare for what?

You call yourself a slayer.

Have you actually killed a vampire?

-Yes.

-'True.'

But you switched sides!

You lived with the Draculas. You were Vlad's girlfriend!

I never meant that to happen. I wanted to slay the Draculas.

'True.'

-I was just trying to save my brother.

-'True.'

All right.

But to prove yourself to us, you have to pass one more test.

I should warn you, I'm dyslexic.

'True.'

It's not a written test.

You have to slay a vampire.

How do you want me to do it?

Semi-automatic garlic guns,

garlic grenades,

super-strong UV torches, argentalium spears...

What are those?

Trophies.

Funny-looking trophies.

They're filled with the dust of slain vampires.

"Count Lecushka."

My very first slay.

So you've killed people, too?

Not people. Vampires.

You must keep the difference clear in your mind.

Or you can go a bit...strange.

Anyway.

Check this out. Garlic gas.

One whiff of that, knock a vamp out cold,

all ready for staking.

Sounds perfect.

So is this what you're going to use?

How do you mean?

For your attack on the Draculas, you said you had a special weapon?

-No. The new weapon's better. Wait till you see...

-After the test.

Jonno.

Let her choose her weapons in peace.

Good luck.

Get out.

Vlad, listen to me.

You tried to dust my sister AND my girlfriend.

-Any other attempted murders?

-I acted on your father's orders.

I expect this sort of thing from Dad. But you!

You're supposed to be on my side.

Can't you see the slayer girl has made a fool of you?

She's weakened you.

We must find her and destroy her.

If it wasn't for her,

you wouldn't have any words in your precious book.

What do you mean by that?

Nothing. Just leave her alone.

If you won't consider your own safety,

think of your people.

The slayers grow stronger every day.

Vampires wait for you to lead them to glory.

Then they'll wait a long time. I'm not leading an army.

Are we clear?

-Sis?

-Ryan.

Can you get me out of here?

They told me I had to slay a vampire.

Then only one of us gets out alive.

HE HISSES

CHAMBER MUSIC

How do I look?

Magnificent.

So, today is the big day?

Look at you all dressed up.

Where are you going?

Just down to the school.

Master wants to look his best for Miss McCauley.

Why bother?

If you want her to like you, just hypnotise her.

Oh, I see.

No, you don't.

You don't see anything, because there's nothing to see.

You can't hypnotise her, because you're in love with her.

The Prince of Darkness, in love with a breather.

Not for long, though.

I'm going to bite her and be done with it.

-You'll take that risk?

-What risk?

Do you want Miss McCauley to end up like Mum?

That wouldn't happen.

I'm just trying to help, Dad.

Mm.

That should stop him recruiting Miss McCauley.

Why do you care who the Master bites?

When you turn someone into a vampire,

that person is loyal to you.

I don't want Dad's posse to be bigger than mine.

What posse?

There's a vampire war coming, Renfield.

Which side will you be on?

My place is with the Master.

You're already as loyal as a dog. Dad will never bite you,

no matter how much you beg.

Master will make me immortal.

When?

-One day.

-I could do it today,

if you join us.

Come and meet the girls.

Well?

What do you think?

-Do

-I

-get a uniform?

MUSIC STARTS

# Oh, baby, baby How was I supposed to know

# That something wasn't right here?

# Oh, baby, baby I shouldn't have let you go... #

Renfield.

Renfield.

MUSIC STOPS

Get me the keys to Dad's blood cellar. My girls need feeding.

Hello.

Have you read my new proposal for the science block?

Yes.

It's absolutely fascinating.

Excellent.

Hello, Bun-Buns!

HE GULPS

Mr Count? Are you all right?

I don't know.

What are you waiting for, Bun-Buns?

Bite me!

So, you're happy with the proposal, then?

Yes, yes.

You're fine, just as you are.

Carry on, then.

Do you think she's OK?

Erin.

You did well.

Did I?

Yes. And remember, he wasn't your brother any more.

He wouldn't have wanted to live the life that awaited him,

to be one of them.

I need some fresh air.

Take as long as you like.

Er, can I keep these? The Draculas will be looking for me.

Of course. You must protect yourself.

Erin?

Good work, slayer.

Ryan. It's OK. I'm here.

HE GROANS

-There was still some garlic gas in there.

-Sorry.

-It was the only way to get you out.

-They bought it?

Even the fake dust-pile?

Yep. Count Lecushka, we owe you big time.

-Great plan.

-Now I need you to do something for ME.

When it gets dark, go to Garside and warn Vlad about the Guild attack.

I'll go to Garside, but only so I can be with Ingrid.

-Please warn Vlad!

-I'll tell Ingrid about the slayers' plans

and if she wants to share the information with Vlad, then she can.

She won't "share the information" with him - she wants to slay him.

I guess he won't get the news, then.

Vlad?

Vlad, I know you can hear me.

Meet me in the archway.

I'm not going away until you do.

Did you get my letter?

You say they're going to attack us.

They're going to do a lot worse - they're going to annihilate you.

-They have a weapon.

-What kind of weapon?

I don't know. But I'm going to find out.

Tell me why I should believe you.

Because I care for you.

If I didn't, why would I be here?

Oh, I don't know - to slay me and my family(?)

You should go.

Here's the address of the Slayers' Guild,

if you want to do something about it.

It's a trap. Trust me, Vladdy - you go near that place

and she'll be lying in wait with a stake and an angry mob.

You're probably right.

Which is why I need you to come with me.

COUNT LAUGHS

No way.

Please, Dad. I can't do this on my own.

-I need to find out if Erin's telling the truth.

-And if she is?

We destroy the slayers' weapon and get her out of there.

This is no game, Vladdy.

Your obsession with that slayer girl will get us all destroyed.

I know it sounds crazy.

We come from different worlds and I don't know whether to trust her,

but I have to take the risk,

because if there's even the smallest chance that me and Erin can get...

Well, I just have to try.

That's all.

All right.

What?

I'll meet you here at nightfall.

OK.

'Get me the keys to Dad's blood cellar.

'Do you want immortality or not?'

BUGS HISS

Renfield! Get me my stealth cape.

Vladdy and I are doing a raid on the Slayers' Guild.

-Sounds dangerous, Master.

-Yes, it is.

Please don't go! You're too beautiful to die.

True.

But it's a father's duty to stand by his son,

even if I have to pay the ultimate price.

Um...

Well, if anything should happen to you,

-isn't there something you should do first?

-Hm? What?

Sorry, I'm just not getting it.

-Bitey, bitey?

-Oh!

Good garlic, no! Never in a month of eternities.

-But, Master - you promised me immortality.

-Did I?

Sometimes the darkness of my soul

surprises even me.

HE LAUGHS

SHE BURPS

THEY LAUGH

I'm... I'm ready, Mistress Ingrid.

I'm NOT sticking my fangs in that.

-No, go on, please.

-Get lost, Renfield.

But Master will throw me in the slime pit

when he finds out what I've done.

This day gets better and better.

Oh!

Ingrid.

Finally.

You know, gatecrashers are expected to bring a bottle.

Do I know you?

You should do. You made me.

And YOU gave me blood poisoning! Girls!

Tear him apart.

THEY HISS I'm here to help you.

I want to join you, to fight against the slayer attack.

What slayer attack?

A UV generator.

The biggest one ever built, using the best Guild technology.

-You're going to attack Garside Grange?

-Too right.

Once we activate this baby, the whole nest of biters will be ashed.

So, um, how does it work?

All right.

Let's do this.

Girls.

And boy.

This is our chance,

the day we've been waiting for.

We let the Guild destroy my father and brother, and then WE...

get rid of the slayers.

Bring on the slayer attack!

THEY CHEER

WOLFIE YAWNS

What slayer attack?

Who are these guys?

Nobody. This is all just a dream.

Go back to sleep.

If it's a dream, aren't I already asleep?

Er... Where are you going?

-I've got to warn the Count about the slayer attack.

-Wolfie, no!

Get him back, but don't hurt him.

It's all controlled from here.

Solar panels on the roof collect the sunlight,

which we store here, and here.

That's a lot of sunlight.

We've been building our supplies for months.

We'll send the UV to receptors planted in the Draculas' residence.

Then they'll be powerless and we'll finish them.

So, er...

when do we activate?

-Tonight.

-Tonight?

That's a brilliant plan.

So, you coming with us?

Be right with you.

Face it, Vladdy. She's one of them.

Ssh!

Going to invite us in?

Us?

All right.

Vlad,

Count Dracula,

please...come in.

Now do you trust me?

I saw you hugging Jonno.

Oh, that.

Yes, that.

I only did THAT so I could get THIS.

To destroy the machine, you'll need it.

-Come on, Erin.

-What's keeping her?

I think it's going to explode.

ARGH!

You just saved Dad.

Now do you believe I'm on your side?

Yeah.

-I'm sorry.

-It's OK.

You're working with him!

But you ashed your brother?

I faked it.

Whoa, whoa. Leave her alone.

Well, I hope you don't mind me sharing your snack.

There'll be no biting today.

I'll handle this. Go.

Go!

We won't hurt you. Just pass on the message on to the Guild -

I want peace between vampires and breathers.

YOU want peace?!

Yeah. It's all I've ever wanted.

My dad's dead and it's all because of you.

You said it was an accident.

A bunch of vampires attacked him and because of your mind-wipe,

he never stood a chance.

Jonno, I'm... I'm so sorry.

You will be.

I meant what I said.

I wish I'd never put the mind-wipe on your dad.

-I never meant him to get hurt!

-Vlad. Don't. Let's go.

I'm truly sorry.

-What happened?

-She's working with the vamps.

They've wrecked the generator. What do we do?

What your father would have done - we fight back hard

and we fight back NOW.

WHIMPERING

Master.

Terrible news.

Ingrid has an army of vampire girls and they're trying to take over.

They raided your blood cellar.

I tried to stop them but they overpowered me.

With what? The chance to dress up as a schoolgir...?

I'll deal with you later.

OK, we've trashed the slayers' weapon to stall the attack,

-but it won't hold them off for long.

-Don't worry, Vladdy.

We shall behave in accordance with the noble tradition of the Draculas.

Run away!

He's right. We should get out.

What do you mean, "we"?! Slayer!

Right, I'm off to pack. Meet you in ten. And ditch the girl.

He knows I just saved his unlife, right?

Yeah, he knows. He just doesn't care.

It's a vampire thing.

What do we do now?

For a start, we'd better find Ingrid.

-There you are. You're coming with me.

-Get off me!

I'm going to kick you!

No!

Help!

Come on.

I told you not to run off.

Don't you EVER do that again.

She's going to bite him!

Ingrid!

You said the school was clear of other vampires.

It was. They must have been recruiting.

We need to go back and wait for re-enforcements.

Next time you save my life, could you be a bit less clumsy?

Sorry.

Still, it's good to see you're ready to take one for Team Ingrid.

Next time, I might even let you die for me.

There won't be a next time.

Take your vampette army and get out of here.

Erin's told me everything.

You've been recruiting innocent breathers,

trying to kill me.

You never changed, did you?

And you never will.

Finally!

You're so easy to fool, it's almost painful.

I guess this means it's game on, little brother.

Don't try to fight me, Ingrid.

I don't want to see anyone get hurt.

And that is exactly why I'm going to win.

See you at the final battle, chosen one.

Wolfie, stay. Erin.

No way. I'm not leaving.

You have to. You heard Ingrid - It's about to kick off.

I don't want you caught in a vampire war.

Then let me help you!

Just keep yourself safe.

That's all I want.

Please?

All right.

Erin.

Seatbelt.
