Lovely.

Look, Mum and Dad.

Their first photo together.

Lucky Mum was wearing that neck brace!

Imagine if she hadn't been wearing it!

- Yikes. - Dad would have fed on her.

And we wouldn’t exist.

How beautiful Mum looks. I want to get married one day.

That’s lovely!

- The knife? - No.

That Dad undertook the blood ceremony out of love.

Just imagine, he waived eternal life for her sake.

I’d so never do that.

Dad didn’t know which vampire power he’d lose.

Only his sensitivity to light and his super powers were weakened.

He could also have lost his ability to fly.

Imagine that!

What a nightmare.

I would do anything for a great love.

Why wasn’t there a digital camera for the wedding photos?

- To see the groom. - It’s obvious.

They didn’t have them then.

At that time they had only cameras with mirrors.

You don’t see vampires in mirrors.

- Everything ok back there? - Yeah, yeah.

182.4.

times 25.

- 4 560. - Silvania, super.

Come here, Silvania, Daka.

- Karlheinz! - Exactly!.

Karlheinz, the leech, that you brought up

by hand as our teaching animal.

He has grown into a fine specimen.

Take him to Germany and take good care of him.

He will always remember us.

Quickly, class photo!

So..please smile and show your vampire teeth!

-You can see everyone. -Digital camera.

I miss them all already.

We’ll find new friends. Human friends.

Humans…

It’s light already.

I feel tired too.

Good night my sister-heart.

God, how I’ve missed this!

- How beautiful it is here. - As beautiful as you.

Wake up little bats! We’re here.

- My hat. you’re lying on my hat. - What?

- Don’t be so stressed. - But we’re here.

Careful and..

Daka, come out. It’s really great here.

Really beautiful.

I love Germany.

Woah... sun.

Poldi... what’s going on?

A wonderful day, Mr.. -van Kombast.

- Dirk van Kombast. - Ah, Mr Kombat.

Good morning. Greetings!

We’re the Tepes family from the beautifully dark and creepy Transylvania.

Yes, other countries, other customs.

- Elvira Tepes. It’s a pleasure. - Van Kombast.

A good neighbour. A little attention.

Handmade. I’m a designer.

The best in the whole of Transylvania.

- Adorable. - I want to open a shop here.

- You know what.. - Yes, I..

And these are our wonderful daughters- Dakaria and Silvania.

Hello.

Perfect.

- Daka, what are you doing there? - Distributing native soil.

Mihai and Daka, the coffin is not to go in the living room under any circumstances.

And pick up that dirt right away!

I put down a litter box for it.

You can put it back there

and stand in the box.

Surely this is a joke.

I’m of the old vampire clan. I need the earth and the coffin.

and no litterbox.

- Don’t laugh. - If you’re playing the perfect housewife,

Then I have to laugh. This is.. so German.

Okay, as you wish.

If you’re going to fly around, throw the earth around you,

and bite a few people.

You’ll see what’ll happen then. In Germany there are vampire hunters.

Vampire hunters! What nonsense!

Not really Mihai.

The houses here have windows. You can see inside.

Everything has to look German here.

Or we could’t even invite Grandpa Gustav.

What?

Your father still doesn’t know?

No, only Grandma Rose.

But..that was agreed.

You’re acting like we have to hide. Why?

In Bistrien we lived normally. And you as a human.

Firstly: Bistrien is an underground vampire city.

They live in caves, sleep in coffins. I don’t think that’s normal.

Secondly, Mihai always protected me.

- Looked out for me. - And now?

Shall we hide in the basement?

No, you’ll feel comfortable here.

Germany is our new home. But you have to take care of yourselves.

And what do we do with Grandpa Gustav?

He must know, of course.

I wanted to tell him, but it wasn’t the right time.

Of course you’re right.

We’ll tell him, okay? When both of them come over.

What do we do with the coffin in the living room?

Grandma! Grandpa!

My God, you’ve gotten big. Let’s look at you.

Well! Proper young ladies.

Ah, Dirk. Hello.

- Hello, Mr Wagenzink. - How’s your mother?

- Unfortunately, no change. - The worst thing, that.

- Nevertheless, a speedy recovery. - Thanks.

That was Dirk van Kombast. His mother was the most beautiful woman in Bindburg.

She was found one day, sitting on the altar of the old church, in her nightgown.

Totally confused, dishevelled and with a ghastly blank stare.

Yes and then?

She claimed she hunted vampires.

They were flying around her

and were impaled on the church steeple.

- Really? Vampires? Here in Bindburg? - Yeah, right. Vampires.

Vampires in Bindburg!

Only a woman could come up with such things.

- Now. - No.

She ended up in the madhouse and never came back out.

Gustav, leave the old horror stories.

I’m so looking forward to you being here.

Let’s go inside. I’m very curious.

I’m almost finished unpacking. And you?

Not in the mood.

Oh, wow!

What do you think?

Totally embarrassing.

Are you crazy? Get down here immediately.

What if someone sees? - What are humans supposed to see?

- That we can fly. - Don’t be an imbecile.

Whatever. I can float about as much as I want.

I just mustn’t get caught.

Watch it. I still need that.

Right, Karlheinz?

You understand me.

I have to train and train again for the Trans-Europe flight.

If I manage 2000km at at stretch I can fly back to Bistrien.

I’m not staying here a day longer than I have to.

Don’t be so negative Daka. It’s so beautiful in Germany.

We’re only half vampire. Half human, half vampire.

We can finally live out the human side.

I don’t want to be human. Humans are disabled.

I think it’s great. We can be proper girls.

We can wear makeup, find human friends

and get to know some sweet guys. That’s great.

Boyfriends? That doesn’t interest me.

The only man that interests me is Murdo, who’s in Bistrien.

Murdo Darko is an adult and a rock star.

Who doesn’t know you exist.

Let them go, otherwise we can’t let in any new friends.

I don’t want new friends.

How sweet!

Yuck!

First golden rule for life here: No flying in daylight.

All right.

Second golden rule: No live meals.

Also, no snacks.

Mihai...

Third rule: No supernatural powers: hypnosis, floating

and no super powers.

Fourth, fifth and sixth:

No direct sunlight, no crosses and..

no garlic.

Definitely not.

Golden rule number seven: Regular teeth.

- You have sharp teeth. - Yeah and?

Ok models. Night flight.

- Is this necessary? In Germany too? - But really!

That’s fun!

Huh I hate it!

Stupid flying.

Great, night flights are the best.

No..

Everything okay with you honey?

All okay?

Listen little bats. Germany is very important to your mother.

That’s why we’re here. Tomorrow..

you begin an exciting life in a world full of humans.

Take note: humans are nice, but also very timid creatures.

If they feel threatened, they can be very aggressive.

What I want to say is..

Be mindful. You girls are something special.

Some people can’t handle it.

Never forget who you are. And keep it inside.

Daka, hurry up or we’ll be late for school.

Stupid trudging.

This is so boring, exhausting, totally pointless.

Flying is much quicker.

Mum would say “I’m not discussing this anymore”

Man, Daka.

How does it look here? It’s so disgustingly tidy.

I think it’s beautiful.

Quiet! Quiet please.

This is Dakaria and Silvania Tepes.

They come from Bistrien. That’s in Transylvania.

Oooh, Transylvania.

- Dracula. - Are you vampires or what?

Watch yourself Benny.

Transylania is located in Romania, which is in the EU

and has more to offer than horror stories.

The Carpathians go through Transylvania.

Along with the Alps, they’re the tallest mountains in Central Europe.

A third of all the wild big game animals in Europe

live in the Carpathians.

I expect that you’ll help Dakaria and Silvania settle in.

Good, have a seat.

Who was that?

So?

Just one more thing, and there’s detention for everyone.

Get your homework out now.

Page 14, calculating interest.

What did you get for Question 1?

Benny?!

So, continue with homework.

Hi, I’m Helene.

Daka. Cool tattoo.

Thanks.

- What.. - They do this where I come from.

- A greeting knock. - Okay.

- Cool. - Is it real?

Nah, pen. I can’t get a real tattoo yet.

Hey, pig face, don’t stand in the way.

Don’t worry about it. Benny always behaves like that.

Benny, Missy Master and Killa K. Stressing you out is their hobby.

Benny is called Bra by everyone.

What hobbies do you have?

I like swimming. And you?

I go to the outdoor pool in the afternoon. Do you want to come with me?

Yeah, great. Yes of course. Really great.

At 3 o’clock on the lawn by the kiosk. Agreed!

Hey, garlic alert.

He stinks like hell. How do you stand it?

That’s so sweet. I’ll meet you at the pool after.

In the sun? You’ll explode.

I almost didn’t recognise you under all the sun cream.

I..have sensitive skin.

Anyway, nice to see you.

Do you come from Transylvania too?

Cool.

What do you speak there?

- In Bistrien Vampire is spoken. - Uhh.. Vampire?

I mean, Romanian. Transylvania is in Romania.

Ahh, Romanian.

Interesting. Foreign languages interest me.

We speak English at home. My dad is Australian.

Really? That’s great. My father is also..

a foreigner.

Want some? Garlic roll. Delicious. I’m vegetarian.

Great.

Come on, who’s in the water first?

Beautiful isn’t it?

No.

Hold still. The home earth will help you.

Man, Mum’s going to totally freak out when she sees this.

You want to stay in bed for 3 weeks crybaby?

No, absolutely not.

I have to be fit for tomorrow.

I must see Jacob.

Then don’t wail so much. You’ve only got yourself to blame.

The outdoor pool. It’s totally dumb.

I had to go. I’m not as vampy as you.

Also I’m just as much human as vampire.

And I never liked being a vampire.

I’m too stupid to fly, find blood disgusting and floating around is exhausting.

and I think the hot look is mean. - Why?

That stupid Benny earned it.

Daka, Silvania.

Why are you locked away?

Hello? Anybody home?

Psst. We’re practising sleeping in the evening.

Silvania’s almost asleep. - Oh, good idea.

Play some nice music. That always helps.

Night, Mum.

That really is the height!

- Morning. - Morning.

What happened to your face?

It’s..makeup tips from the girls..

- no. - I just want..

This is too much. It has to look more natural.

Well I think it’s nice this way.

Morning, ladies.

Morning.

Makeup tips from the girls.

Something different eh?

Indeed.

Well..

How was your first night?

Very good.

The Institute of Forensic Medicine here is perfectly equipped.

A dream laboratory. All the finest devices and instruments.

The work is fun. And right next door

is the blood bank. A whole coolroom full of blood donations.

All blood groups.

Here..

A rare drop: AB negative.

A female '54er.

A dream. - How beautiful.

So...

I’m turning in.

Have a nice day, ladies. - You did well.

I love Germany.

Hold on. Don’t forget the native soil. You know how important that is.

Helene! Hello.

- Helene! - Here, Missy.

Hey, Helene, catch!

Helene, watch out!

- Totally mad! - Here catch, Missy mouse!

What was that?

A melon.

A cannon?

No, a melon.

Ah, a cannon.

Helene...

what’s with you?

Do you have a problem?

Do you have a problem?

Me? A problem? No.

Yeah, what’s going on?

Maybe she’s in shock.

Stop it! What’s this?

It helps. The..

is..

Never mind.

But tell me, what’s wrong with you?

- Nothing. - Sure.

- Nup. - Should we take you to the doctor?

No, not at all.

Okay...

But just because it’s you.

It’s my secret.

Besides the teachers, no one else at the school knows.

- Can you eat it? - This is a hearing aid.

I’m hard of hearing since a car accident.

But my sense of smell is now perfect.

- I can smell like a hound. - Why is it a secret?

Because.. it’s just embarrassing.

No one must know.

Okay.

Word of honour. We’ll say nothing more.

Okay.

You know my secret, so you have to tell me yours.

It’s quite clear that you’re not normal.

Friends have no secrets.

No!

Remember what Dad said.

Honestly, we’d like to tell you.

But..unfortunately we can’t.

Ms Renneberg! Look out!

I thought you wanted to be my friends.

Brats.

Ms Renneberg.

- What’s he looking at? - Ludo? He always looks like that.

A freak like you.

Helene, I.. we..

Oh, leave it.

Homework.

Chapter 4, Distributive Applications

Page 86, Exercise 3.

99 minus 61.

- 23. - 38, 38.

- 57 minus 19 is 38.

38 divided by 2.5…

For your melon action, Benny, Saskia and Kai, there is an extra task.

Detention. And tasks 5,

- 6 and 7. - It wasn’t us. They did it.

38 divided by

2.5 ist 15.2.

15.2 times 12 is

182.4..

Vloz 7, schlitz 8, kotz 9.

Your Translyvanian maths. Get out!

So, Benny, you will also do exercises 8 and 9.

If I hear just one peep,

You’re all staying back. Enough is enough!

Hey, you got us all punished us as well!

You want friends like these idiots?

No, humans are the last people I want..

Daka...

Everything ok?

Yeah, super. Everything’s super.

Do you want to come with me to the pool?

Nah, I can’t today.

Oh well, that’s a shame.

This is so delicious, Mihai.

- Your chilli is excellent. - Thank you my love.

And what do you say?

This is Grandma Zezci’s secret recipe. At least 3000 years old.

- Silvania, try it. - Thanks.

I’m vegetarian now.

- Oh. - What?

And Daka?

Sure, serve it up.

We have something to celebrate.

I’ve found a shop. Small and in a great location.

Just as I wanted.

Congratulations!

Madness, right?

May I have some too?

Of course.

I’m having an exhibition opening and we’re inviting everyone.

Including Mr van Kombast.

Post!

Hello hello, come over here.

Well, you little one.

Thank you.

Bon Voyage!

Listen up. We’ve got Bat-post! Vampirolska flight committee!

Vampirolska flight committee?

I’m going to be flight champion!

Read it first.

“Dear Tepes family, it is with eerie joy that I share with you,

that Dakaria

has qualifies to participate in the 21735th Flight Festival.

The competition is held on

the National Vampire night.

Please come after sunset on November 4

to the Bram Stoker stadium in North Bistrien."

yes, yes, yes!

Dakaria Tepes starts with the flight number 452.

With bloody regards, Igor Graf Trenschewitz."

What? 452? Why do I have such a poor starting number?

That’s for absolutely lame ducks.

It’s not bad, little bat. This is very good.

Don’t forget:

Half vampires have only got 50% power of flight and 50% flight volume.

The fact that you can participate at all, is really great.

You’ll never be able to fly long distances but have options

that full blood vampires will never have.

The experience of the beautiful sun.

- What? - Or...

And my Trans-Europe flight? I wanted to fly to Bistrien.

Such a bummer. Why do I have to be human?

Now we’re finally in Germany

and I can’t.. - Stop with the eternal whining.

Do you think I like being half vampire?

I can never fly properly. Never.

If I could, I’d exchange my human half immediately.

Then I would be 100% vampire, with 100% air volume and 100% air force.

- He? - Oh yeah, it’s good.

Oh, my God,

that’s unbelievable! Vampires!

I knew it.

Ah, interesting.

I’ll get these creatures Mummy, I swear to you.

Then I’ll prove to the world that you’re not crazy.

I’ll take this.

That there. And that there.

“You have a wish?

“I’ll fulfil it.”

Ali bin Schick. Magician.

"Prophecies and wishes of all kinds "

- That’s it. Wishes of all kinds. - Huh?

It’s fate, you know?

I wouldn’t go in there.

- What are you doing here? - I live here.

I’d stay away from the wizard over there.

Why? Do you know him?

I just know.

All right. You just know.

We’ve got to go. Bye.

I don’t care what Ludo says about the magician.

Ali bin Schick is our man.

I have a wish. A heart’s desire.

What? Express yourself more clearly.

I want to be human. Completely human.

A real human girl.

With Jacob and the pool.

You mean..

..I can wish to be a vampire? Fully vampire?

We have nothing to lose, right?

Wow, look.

The ice cream parlour is next door.

We don’t want ice cream.

Good day, Mr Schick.

We have our heart’s desires.

Both of us. And.. please fulfill them for us.

- We’re going. - Wait.

We only want to know..

Heart’s desires are not to be trifled with.

Once transformed, you can never change back.

Or something like that.

In any case, forever.

Once you have fulfilled the heart’s desire,

you must remain as that for eternity.

She needs to be serious.

Of course, otherwise we wouldn’t be here.

- Can she be a little friendlier? - But of course.

Hello?

Mr Schick?

- Going to the loo? - How would I know?

Is it polite for us to leave?

Heart’s desire

A moment.

Come closer. Come.

Heart’s desire, heart pure

let me be the fulfiller.

Whisper, whisper, softly, softly

Heart’s desire in flowers.

Wish in the flowers.

Whisper your heart’s desire in the flower blossoms.

Now I need a hair of each of you.

Wish fulfillment will happen, you need only go over the threshold.

Consider it good, consider it fine it will honestly be on the threshold’s side.

Not the brightest are you.

In the moment in which you transgress over the threshold of the store,

the wish fulfillment will begin.

- Thank you. Thank you very much Mr Schick. - Bye then.

Hey, wait on.

What about payment?

Sorry.

I’ll keep the change.

It must be right.

- That went well. - I think I can feel something.

It’s really easy to float.

I’m coming, sun!

Hello, Mr van Kombast.

What’s his problem?

You’re eating meat again.

Being a vegetarian doesn’t really work with half-vampires.

Aren’t you well? You have such rosy cheeks.

Rubbish. I’m going great.

Everything’s super.

Have you got enough fresh air?

Exactly, I’m lacking fresh night air.

I need flight training. A lot of training.

Great. How about a night flight?

- I don’t know - Yeah. Great.

No reckless actions.

- Stay away from the settlement. - We have it fully under control.

Here we go.

Are you ready?

Yes. One, two, three.

Hello!

Silvania, honey, that’s great.

Crap!

Why isn’t it working?

Papa, here I am.

Super Mega-madness enormously excellent sensational-amazing! That was superb!

My girl. That’s my girl.

What’s wrong with Daka? Did she get into the Karpovka schnapps?

Help!

Thanks little bat. That went just fine.

What was going on?

Why weren’t you hanging in the tree?

No I just couldn’t. I can’t fly another metre.

What’s wrong?

No idea.

I was.. I felt totally drawn to the ground.

Totally scary.

- Have you ever felt too heavy? - No.

It was ... as if I had forgotten how to fly.

It’s surely being in this stupid Germany. I’m crap again.

Rubbish. You haven’t forgotten how to fly.

It’s like breathing, biting, feeding.

You just have a small dip in form.

Come on, we’ll go home. On foot.

A rat?

Those are bites.

Flying was so much fun.

- It was so... wow. - You’ve never flown like that before.

- I know. - I thought it was crap.

I used to fly much better.

That was really fantastic!

I’ve got to get ready for work. Okay?

- Yeah. - Okay, good.

I need something to drink first.

I don’t understand it.

I flew better as a baby.

It’ll be all right. I found today totally cool.

- Flying is totally cool. - Great, I’m happy for you.

Now come on. Don’t be so upset.

These raw meat skewers are delicious.

Mr van Kombast... what are you doing here?

- I, oh... - Are you robbing us?

Nonsense!

I don’t want to steal anything.

I want to find out what you’re doing here.

I observe things. Scrupulously.

You’re all suspicious.

Very suspicious. - Oh yeah?

You come across rather suspicious.

Don’t be so cheeky, yeah?

I’m serious. I’ve got proof.

Aha, what evidence may I ask?

Ah... here. The rat has bite marks.

Clearly. I have studied it.

Here, look. This rat was sucked dry.

How do you explain that, Mrs Tepes?

That’s Rattatoi.

Our beloved, sweet Rattatoi. Our little pet.

What have you done to her, you monster!

Well, aren’t you ashamed of yourself?

What did you do to our rat?

Rattatoi! My beloved Rattatoi!

He killed her!

What’s this? You have our Rattatoi on your conscience?

- Murderer! - Shame on you.

I’m onto you!

We’re going to have to be careful in front of him.

615

South Bindburg Police. Chief Inspector Huber.

Van Kombast here, 25 Linden Way. Send a SWAT team.

Terrible things are going on here. A dead rat with bite marks.

- What, a rat? - Yes. My neighbours are vampires.

A family of vampires has settled here.

Come quick!

Mr van Kombast, are you bored?

Ah... yeah, sometimes.

Mihai?

Damn!

what’s the matter?

- Oh... - All the meat is gone. Everything.

My blood supply..gone. Gone! Someone’s robbed me!

Quiet, Mihai. Who’s stealing? That’s nonsense.

Who? Our neighbour of course!

Distracted us with a dead rat. I’ll show him!

Please calm down!

Good morning.

- What is it? - Did you eat all the meat?

I was just hungry.

For 10 blood sausages, 5 pounds of cold cuts and 3 pounds of mince?

Hunger pangs, sure. Normal vampiric hunger pangs.

Our girl’s growing up! How beautiful!

Beautiful? What if our neighbour starts snooping?

It’s oh God oh God!!

So, we’ll slowly pack up together.

This is not a self-portrait.

Yeah it is, I’m in my favourite place.

- At the cemetery? - Yes, it’s wonderful there.

- And so quiet. - Aha.

How’s it looking for the pool today?

Not today unfortunately. But quite soon.

Shame.

But, what if I asked you a question…

Do you tutor English?

Because your father’s from Australia, so

Yeah, I will.

Can you tutor me? I’m rotten.

Sure, happy to. When?

This afternoon? At my place?

- 23 Linden Way. - Sure. You got it.

- Cool. - See you then.

I’ll get there a bit before, okay? I have to prepare.

Are you sure that’s a good idea? At our place?

Yes. Why?

I just mean, I guess you know yourself.

Well? All alone here?

Where did your twin go so fast?

drooling over Jacob?

What is it? A giant snail!

Karlheinz!

Give him back! He’s mine!

- Here, Missy. - Give him back!

Hold her tight.

- Damn, what the? - Revenge.

- Ow! - We’ll chop it up!

Are you crazy?

- Hey you’re bending him like a hair!! - And how we’ll bend it.

You can count on it.

Come on!

Nice capture, Killa.

Exactly, Missy.

- Karlheinz! - Let’s see if it burns.

Let me out you idiots!

- Or I.. - Or what??

You again, you brat!

Crap!

Get out of here!

What’s going on here?

Karlheinz!

My poor little Karlie. Thanks!

Many thanks to you, master. We’ll never forget you.

Karlheinz, yes?

He’s all right.

It’s a difficult age..

I was no different at that age.

Who knows how puberty will impact on our girls?

Anything can happen.

- I don’t think about it. - It’s here already.

You worry too much.

At this age the brain forms completely new synapses.

So maybe that’s what’s with Daka’s flying.

You don’t forget how to fly.

Silvania had never flown like that before and had fun doing it.

That was really great.

Silvania is developing into a real vampire.

What?

Jacob!

Jacob.

Hello. Is Silvania there?

No, she must be out.

- Sorry. - Hey, Jacob.

I’ve been waiting for you. come on in!

- Silvania, wait a minute. - Not now, Daka. I have tutoring.

That’s art. My mum is a famous designer.

Toilet seats are her newest thing. She’s having a preview tonight.

Blast.

And now?

- Cool. Is this in Romania? - That?

Ummm..yes..at Halloween.

You can see it.

Okay, there you go.

Garlic bread is called Knoblauchbrot.

Hungry?

Do you have something on your tooth?

That looks so funny

I... No.

Ach so.

Silvania...

What’s wrong?

Let me out, you cave newt.

or I.. - Help me, quick.

I’m warning you. Open the door or I’ll do something!

Ist das Silvania?

- I don’t even know her. - So long as you don’t know her yet.

What’s going on up there?

That’s enough. Let me out!

Hello, who do we have here?

Hello.

Aha...

B negative, year '98. That’s right?

- Yeah. I gotta go.

Daka open the door immediately or watch what happens!!

- Please, Daka. - What’s going on, Silvania?

- How can you? - Daka, Silvania, listen up.

This is the very last time. Now leave me alone.

Silvania, wait!

What have you done?

You don’t want to me to hang out with Jacob?

- you’re my sister. - It’s not what you think.

- I just wanted to.. - You’re jealous.

Because I have friends and you’re an outcast.

You want to destroy me. I’m not going to let you.

I don’t want to destroy you. I wanted to help you and save Jacob.

Silvania, I know what’s going on with us.

You.. want..

You want to bite me?

I..

What..what..

That’s what I mean. You’re more of a vampire than me.

Rubbish, yeah, but.. Why?

- Why? - There’s only one explanation.

- Ali must have swapped the wishes. - What?

No..I don’t believe this.

This can’t be true.

I look like a human girl.

- I can’t fly, can’t float. - Oh God, I’m a monster.

Anyway, I’m done.

Daka!

Mr van Kombast?

Nice suit.

Back to pet hunting, yeah?

Yeah, yeah.

Hello? Mr Schick?

We have a problem.

- I know the tone. - We want to complain.

Something’s gone wrong with our heart’s desires.

So I need to say everything three times?

I even told you three times.

You can’t complain about heart’s desires. What is desired is desired.

That’s it. End of story.

It’s your fault. You reversed our wishes.

You total idiot.

Please, Mr Ali...

We’re in massive trouble.

I will not let you call me idiot.

- Grandpa you haven’t seen this. - Ludo?

Huh?

Ludo, what are you doing here?

Here. Heart’s desire. The counter-spell.

This is your Grandpa?

Nobody move!

- Calm down! - But I’ve go to..

Someone always wants something.

Wait outside until I’m done.

The Spirulentia dawantio gloris

is a cemetery plant. It’s your only chance.

Then you can have another heart’s desire.

Then go forth to the Spirulus dotchus.

Spirulentia dawantio gloris.

The problem with the Spirulentia is,

they can only be recognised during a full moon.

Now you’re ready, Vampire Pack!

Now that’s it!

Are you crazy or something? My fries!

What the?

Wow, Grandpa?

Just you wait. You can’t do that.

Not with me!

Well, where were we?

- Cemetery. - Exactly, Cemetery.

Full moon.

On a full moon the plant releases a special odour.

A mixture of butter cream cake, old socks and liquorice.

Liquorice?

- What’s that? - They are

really black things. You can eat it and you smell so special.

- Just after liquorice. - Yes. After liquorice.

Doesn’t matter. What does the spirit plant look like?

Spirulentia dawantio gloris.

You won’t recognise it. It looks like a weed.

What?

How will we find it?

By the smell. You have to smell it.

It’s simple.

It’s a full moon tonight.

Holy Dracula! Tonight!

Ok let’s go. Quickly!

Halt. Moment. Just a moment.

When the bells ring twelve times, you have to chew the flower

and with all your concentration think

of your new heart’s desire.

This is important.

After the twelfth stroke it will no longer be effective

and if even a tiny piece of the leaves gets left behind, you get

the infamous Three Day Diarrhoea.

And that’s not nice.

- Wait on!

What about payment?

- Grandpa.. - What it is?

It’s on the house.

- Van Kombast is totally crazy. - Oh God, what do we do now?

We don’t even know what liquorice looks like.

We just need to smell the stuff.

Hang on, do you know what it smells like?

Have I checked already? Of course, I don’t know.

Oh man, that’s bad.

Very bad for us.

Liquorice, oh man!

- once more, crap. - It’s not only bad.

- It’s the end of us. - End of us?

I think it’s good..

Helene! We need Helene.

That time with the melon and the hearing aid?

Helene’s secret.

She has the sense of smell like a hound.

Yes! And Helene is often at the cemetery.

It’s her favourite place.

She’s a cemetery expert.

Helene is our only chance. Let’s go!

Deaf nut, deaf nut, Helene is a deaf nut.

Well you cripple. Can you hear us at all?

- Show us your hearing aid. - And your disability card.

Too bad that I don’t have a melon with me. Otherwise I would..

- Who told you that? - Who?

From the monster twins of course.

Helene is as deaf as a coconut.

A bomb could even explode.

And she stinks like a dog.

Blegh!

Boo!

Oh, look, our little Helene is howling.

A deaf crybaby.

Wicked.

Helene, here you are at last.

We’ve been waiting forever.

We need your help.

We need a cemetery expert with an A1 sense of smell. At midnight.

No way you traitors. I’m not helping you.

I don’t want to talk to you anymore.

I’m deaf and dumb. A cripple. Ask your new friends for help.

Missy, Benny and Killa. At least they hear.

Helene... We didn’t betray you.

- Why would we? - How should I know?

You’re just as stupid as everyone else. Go away!

Leave me alone! I wish I was blind too.

Then I would never see you again.

Well? How’s our deaf Fifi?

What?

We’re not doing that again. Never again.

- I’m sorry. - That was totally stupid of us.

- Peace, okay? - Man, help!

You see, we didn’t betray you.

- They overheard us. - It hurts.

Unlike us, you’re not so inclined.

So you don’t hear so well. So what?

We really need you. You’re our only hope.

We need your sense of smell and your knowledge as a cemetery expert.

Under the tonight’s full moon at midnight.

Okay.

I will help you. But only on one condition.

- Which is? - Tell me your secret.

Okay.

Cool.

Come on!

Hey, let us down.

- Don’t leave us hanging like this! - What do we do now?

Crap. No idea.

Little bats we’ve got to go to the preview. Don’t get up to anything, ok?

- Yeah, have fun. - Bye.

Yeah, good.

So then..

Silvania and I, we.. are different from other people.

Unlike all people.

We…

- Man, I can’t do it. - I won’t tell anyone.

Promise. Word of honour.

Just say it.

Mum is a human and Dad is a vampire. We’re half-vampires.

We were, until Ludo’s Grandpa enchanted us.

We need to find this liquorice plant, at midnight. In the cemetery.

At full moon. You have to help us.

Are you totally crazy? Half vampire?

Either you tell me straight or I’m gone.

And forget our friendship.

No! Helene we’re not kidding with you!

Come on, show her.

Look at me.

Look carefully.

This is floating.

It’s exhausting and we can’t go through walls.

Helene?

Maybe she jumped out of the window.

No, I didn’t.

- She’s alive. - And you..

you’re really actual vampires? - No, only half-vampires.

Don’t panic. Rather, Silvania is..

Daka!

- We’re also half human. - What can you do, other than..

- Float? - Hot look. Hypnosis. Fly.

Fly? Really? You can fly?

That’s madness. My absolute mega dream.

I want to too!

Wicked!

That’s super!

Golly, we’re high up!

Super, yeah?

- Daka! - Crap!

Please!

That was insane!

Really amazing! So cool! We were flying!!

Really flying!

I’ve always wanted to fly. Did you know that?

We really need to go now.

Quick smart.

Vampire pack!

I’m taking you down.

We’re looking for liquorice, Butter cream pie and old socks.

Moment.

- What is it? - It smells like old socks.

Those are Daka’s.

- Guys, I’ve got the flower.. - Don’t be scared.

Helene?

Did you hear that?

Holy Dracula, what’s wrong here.

Where’s Helene?

All is well. You’re safe.

- This is for your own good. - Let me go. I don’t want this!

Look, this is Helene’s torch.

At last I’ve got you, you miserable vampire pack!

Say goodbye to eternal life. I’m going to crush you!

You’ll suffer,

for what you did to Mum.

Ridiculous!

Oh yes?

- Here! - And what’s this?

Don’t you have anything else to offer? Your weapons belong in a museum.

You’ll be laughing on the other side..

A water pistol. Who’re you trying to scare with that?

That’s not ordinary water.

That’s holy water!

Holy water? That’s so sweet.

Really. Ever..heard of new technologies?

Globalisation? Gentrification? New Market?

Hey, Ludo? What’re you doing here?

What is it you idiot? Leave my hair alone.

Silvania, no!

Silvania, wake up. Please.

- Obsolete weapons.. - Silvania.

Come on.

Silvania, please. I need you.

I warned you.

So, I’m going to finish you off now.

Crap, she’s not responding.

What should I do?

Smelling salts!

Smelling salts helps with fainting.

Daka, you’ve got to get out of here.

Thank Dracula, you’re alive.

And now you, you little brats!

Let go of me you creep!

Quick! We need your help!

Say Ludo..

what are you doing here?

Well, umm..

What can I say? I can sense things sometimes.

Somehow I knew this would happen and you’d need my help.

I get a feeling, then it happens.

We need the flower. The magic plant, but quickly.

Stop. Look what I have here..

Helene!

I knew it, Helene, you’re super vampire mega monster cool!

We’ll never forget you!

Girls..

Human at last.

Vampire at last.

Stop!

- What’s this? Are you crazy? - One minute..

Think carefully about what you desire.

- I have already. - Have you?

You’ll never be able to fly again.

Think about it. Be wild. Be free.

Feel the wind in your hair. That was so fun for you.

Say, how many times have the bells rung?

And you? As a vampire you’ll always be an outsider.

No sun. You have to be careful not to bite.

And the worst of all: You’ll always stay 12. Or how 12 looks like.

I’ll be 18, going to clubs with Helene, living with Ludo in a shared flat.

And going to marry Jacob.

And Murdo, the singer from Krypton Krax,

won’t notice you. Ever.

It’s okay.

We need to look out for each other.

Okay, half vampire?

Half vampire.

Ok come on, chew. The bells are going to stop ringing.

Now everything will be fine.

Yes, it will.

This was here. Who does it belong to?

Dirk van Kombast.

Three Day Diarrhoea.

So, then we have that now.

Thanks for everything.

Without you we would have been stuck.

- It’s okay. - It was nothing.

Do you see? Everything’s good..

It’s great. The girls

have adjusted so quickly without any problems. Remarkable!

They have friends. They’re fine.

They’ve made it.

I think it’s the right time to tell Grandpa Gustav.

I can tell him.

Good, I’ll do it then.

You should let Jacob believe that you’re a normal girl.

That the chaos of the tutoring was just an exception.

- You have to make it clear to him. - Equal is best.

Jacob, come over here.

Silvania wants to talk with you.

Are you crazy? I have to plan it. I can’t do it spontaneously.

Sure you can.

- Good luck.

Umm.. I’ve got to explain to you..

I want to apologise for the chaos the other day.

I’m.. just a normal girl.

Aha!

The other day was..

I’m over it. I think it’s good that you’re not like everyone else.

We’ll make the next tutoring lesson easy.

I’m actually quite good at English.

Then something else.

We can go for a walk in the cemetery at night and get bitten.

Joke!

- Hello, Grandma! - Grandpa!

How lovely! Come over here.

Well, was the first week nice?

- Already settled?

Did you read that?

The article about your toilet seat exhibition was great.

Hi Mum

- Hi Dad. - Hello.

We want to tell you something. So..

What’s going on over there?

Vampire alarm or what?

This is really sad..

The madness probably runs in the family.

You wanted to say something?

So, I, ahem...

So, I wanted..um..

I wanted..

Oh, you know what ... how about a Karpovka?

Yes, always.

Great idea.

So, I wanted to tell you..

I’m just so happy that you live here now.

A little bit of normality does this area a lot of good.

That’s downright scary, over there.

Crappy vampires.
