Thank you.

How pathetic.

Playing at being a helpless little breather. Well, yeah.

Need to fit in.

Being a vampire does have its advantages, you know.

Makes packing a doddle.

Well, looks like you're all ready for your new life in Breatherville.

Mummy tucking you into your coffin at dusk. Late night snacks that don't fight

back. Are you sure you're going to be alright here without me?

You may be the chosen one, Vlad, but I can take care of myself.

What about Malik?

I can certainly take care of him.

But you've got that thing under control here.

Not exactly, Master.

I thought I had pinpointed a weakness which I'm endeavouring to exploit.

So you failed miserably.

Completely and utterly, Master.

What's happening to me?

My vampire sense has seemed incredibly acute. My ears, my... My eyes, my

eyes.

It's our malevolent friend, Master, inducing sensory overload.

And that... and that smell!

That smell is quite the most disgusting thing ever to assault my olfactory

orifices. Really, Master?

I think it's rather exquisitely okay. Yeah, it's a mixture of a dung beetle

with a rock magic sauce.

It makes me feel quite peckish.

Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

If you're so ravenous, eat that!

Or start a cage, build a box, just do anything you can to contain it!

So

what

have you got for me?

If I knew more about the particular thing... Just trying to keep my big

out of the basement.

Knew how to.

So what does it do?

Low -volt UV beams kick in for a motion sensor. It won't kill a vamp, but it'll

deliver a lot more than a tickle.

How deliciously sneaky.

You must be the most useful breather I know.

Other than the ones you use as drink dispensers.

Open vortex.

I command the vortex to open.

Not long enough. It's really cool here.

And how long has Sally been your mum?

Duh, since I was born.

Do you have to ask questions all the time?

Sorry, it's just I miss having my family to talk to.

What are you doing down here? We're collecting stuff for Mum's sculpture.

You're not allowed in the basement.

They're not the only ones.

I heard them messing around.

Lucky I did.

Vlad wouldn't be very happy if anything nasty happened to his breather -half

-sister.

Just as well you were here then.

Bye then.

Catch you later.

Harry, you haven't got long.

What's the deal with your brother in the mirror?

Beyond the mirror, there's the lake.

His mother's in a crystal at the bottom of it.

This just gets cooler and cooler.

And last but not least, this represents my personal philosophy, which is that

life is like a great big bowl of ice cream.

Grab a spoon and get your share.

What do you think?

Yeah.

You all right, Vlad?

Is that your exam?

Don't worry. I'm sure someone with your talents will pass with flying colours.

My talents?

Flying, right.

Actually, there is something.

Okay.

Well, let's sit down with a cup of tea, yeah?

I'm actually rather pleased with that.

Right, it's showtime.

Pass your hand through the motion sensor.

This had better be good. It's one of mine. It will be.

Oh, nice!

The CCTV will beam up all the action to the control room.

Oh, come on, follow me.

And as I have rigged the whole corridor,

you won't miss a thing.

Impressive. Are you sure you're not part vampire?

Are you worried about coming to live with George and me?

No, it's not that.

Really.

It's just things have been changing a lot recently.

Well, you're growing up, lad.

Change is nothing to be frightened of. Maybe.

But sometimes it feels like... Like I'm not exactly sure who I am anymore.

So let me help.

I know it's selfish of me.

You're just about ready to leave home.

It's just I've missed out on so much.

I just want to be there for you.

Whatever you need.

Ah, you've got a mysterious parcel.

I saw that terrible parcel.

That awful music.

What music? What, what, what?

No, no, no.

Nothing, nothing, nothing.

It's from Bali. See the postmark.

Well, I hope you're not collecting the vampire aid. We've already given.

You did say if I was ever in the neighborhood.

Talitha. In the flesh.

Don't speak.

Oh,

uh, this is Talitha.

We did a lot of traveling together.

Yes, well, perhaps you'd like to keep on traveling. Full house, I'm afraid.

Every coffin.

Spook and form.

Dad, what happened to the famous Dracula hospitality?

It left long ago, along with the famous Dracula fortune.

Yes, you three.

Hi.

I'm Talitha. Sally.

Vlad's tutor.

Interesting.

I'm Vlad's sister.

Ingrid Dracula.

The first female on the Vampire High Council.

More power to you.

Yes, yes.

Head of catering. Buffet, the vampire waitress.

Ooh, terrifying.

Not quite there yet.

Some fine -tuning required, perhaps.

So, staying long?

I was hoping to hang out for the big party for Vlad's 18th.

Party? Who mentioned a party?

You did. Did I?

Oh, yes, yes, yes. A small affair, the smallest.

Close friends and family only, I'm afraid.

Let me have a word.

So, Talitha, you said you met Vlad when you were travelling.

This is too much.

First it's your family, then Malik and the boy, and now this

I mean, why don't you invite the whole Vampire High Council to stay? The sooner

they find out you're a half -breather, the sooner we're all doused. Now, I want

that transcendental weirdo out of here now.

Dad, let me handle it.

I know Talitha. I can trust her. All right, all right. There's no need to

Vladimir. What?

What, what, what? No, nothing, nothing.

I suppose because you and Talitha went moonbathing together, and she's a free

spirit man.

There's more to it than that news.

Anyway, according to Sally, you were a bit of a free spirit yourself back in

day. Well, I... My exams are almost over.

I've got a lot of time for Talitha. So a reason to stay on, perhaps.

Well, I didn't say that.

Drinks for our guest.

Where's Renfield?

Oh, no, no, he's otherwise engaged.

Ingrid, perhaps you could do the honours.

Do I look like the maid?

Just soy for me.

Oh, not another one.

You know, I remember a time when being a blood -sucking fiend was all the rage.

I mean, what is wrong with people?

If you're looking for drinks, the good stuff is in the blood cellar, not the

basement. That's right.

I forgot.

So, what do you think of Talitha?

She's a bit of an old bull, but seems okay.

She's obviously got pretty close to Vlad on his travels.

But very close.

What do you mean?

Well, having the Chosen One on your side could give someone a lot of power.

Maybe even get them on the Vampire High Council. Of course, now you've opened

the door for females.

What? You think that's the way of slurping, coughing, serving little...

that's what she seems.

But who is she really?

We've no idea.

Maybe you could crack her out in the vampire way.

Let's do it that way, yeah?

She seems like a very special person.

She is.

You can talk about stuff.

Vampire stuff.

It's okay.

I get it.

Good friends are hard to find, especially ones that you can talk to.

Listen, guys, Vlad and Talitha have a lot of catching up to do, so let's leave

them to it, yeah?

Who fancies a game of vampire hide -and -seek?

Yeah! No, hang on.

I'm sure it'll be fine.

Won't it, Malik?

I need you to hack into the VHC records for me again.

Bring up everything you can get on a Talitha. You really can't live without

can you? Don't put it or I might do something you'll regret.

Now get a move on before I turn you into a human haggis.

Nice.

Okay, you guys hide, but remember, the basement is off limits.

What's so good about vampire hide -and -seek?

This.

Why do we go?

Well, that'll keep them busy.

I thought you could crash here.

This is Ingrid's old room.

Ah!

Must have been. And, uh, unknown.

Fragrant friend.

I'm afraid this room is closed at present due to a little spot of re

-engineering. I mean, remodeling. I mean, redecorating.

Redecorating. Yeah, that's it. Have a good evening. Goodbye.

My chakras just went way out of whack.

I can see your aura, Vlad.

There's something wrong.

What?

Everything's fine.

I didn't travel with you all that time without getting to know you.

What is going on? Nothing, Talitha. Everything's good.

Why are Sally and George hanging out here?

I mean, it's cool, but... They are... Breathers.

You know you can talk to me.

Aren't you rightly predicted, Master?

Plan A? Didn't exactly go to Plan A, though. Well, then maybe it's time for

F! F for flea. But where to, Renfield?

Well, I've got another idea.

All right, all right. Just get on with it. Get on with it.

Ren.

Ah,

Italy. The blood.

Molto bene.

The garlic.

Not so.

We have a problem.

Problem? Problem? What problem?

Have you been speaking to Renfield?

No, why would I want to speak to that imbecile?

Oh, absolutely, absolutely.

Please, you are ranting.

I've checked the vampire records far back at the Doomsday Register and

no entry for a Talitha anywhere.

I think she's a fraud.

We need to tell Vlad to get rid of her.

No, no, no, you may have a point, but let's not be hasty.

If this new chum...

Curbsflat's enthusiasm for leaving. I think it's best she stays.

But what if she... Ingrid, please!

I have more pressing matters to attend to. Believe me.

Ah, the Scottish Highlands. I think not.

The midgey bites are even worse than ours.

Yes.

You want to play games, do you?

Manic.

Manic.

Come to me.

Who the fuck?

Who the fuck?

Who the fuck?

Malik hasn't found us yet.

Yeah. I wonder where he is.

Open the vortex.

Open the vortex now!

What have you done?

Why can't I go through the mirror?

I remember when I got these.

That night market in Marrakesh.

Vlad, I can't help you unless you talk to me.

But no big deal.

I'm just going travelling again.

You travel light. You're packing up your whole life here.

I'm just... Tidying up. Well, so you're not running away then?

Vlad. Okay.

Okay.

You asked about the breathers.

Sally.

Sally's my mother.

I'm half breather.

That can't be true.

I only came back here for one reason. To release your mother. Yes.

The safe -sifting psycho.

She nearly destroyed us the last time she was loose. Exactly.

Only Elisabetta has that kind of power. The one who can control her can control

everything. Control her?

You really have lost it, Malik. How long do you think it will be before the

Vampire High Council finds out about Vlad's little secret?

What, a month?

A year?

We can't just sit back and wait for that to happen.

What are you saying?

Elizabeth can't be controlled.

But we use her as a weapon.

Keep her in the crystal. Just the threat of unleashing her will make us

invincible.

Like the Draculas used to be.

And will be again.

If you help me.

Just imagine the power.

I'm losing my powers, Tal.

They're all but gone.

I feel so human, so weak.

You'll get a research on your birth date. It happens to all vampires. I'm

like all vampires.

If I don't know what's going to happen to me, or what's going to happen next,

how can I move in with Sally?

I don't want to be a burden.

And if you stay?

It'd be open season on the Draculas.

If the vampire high council discover the truth, they'll wipe out the entire

tram.

Then you should go.

What?

Really? You think it'll be okay?

What's the worst that can happen?

This Talitha, or whoever she is, you really think she's a danger? Assume she

I'm more worried about what we do with your mother once we judge her from the

lake.

How to get her out is another problem.

We can't cross running water.

If I may, it is specially constructed of the rarest metals, with an inner casing

of lead and pure silver. Not only that, it's held together with diamond screws,

very difficult to get hold of. That's been a feast of resistance.

Oh, my favourite bit, it's a little invention I made myself, no need to

me, called Renfield.

I knew I could get the better of this if I just put my mind to it. Oh, yeah, of

course.

Sadly,

I put your mind to it. Subsequently, it's a complete disaster.

Yes, Master. Still, all good things must come to an end. We need to leave.

The room?

Oh, no.

The house, the country, the continent.

Imbecile.

So, are we ready for our little fishing trip?

Mm -hmm.

This is going to be a surprise for Vlad, right?

It certainly is.

What happens now?

Hold my hands and take a deep breath.

Malik, make sure you follow right after.

Open the vortex.

Where is he?

I knew I shouldn't have trusted him.

So much for us all working together.

But you're going to be a great help.

Ingrid, I'm scared.

What is this place?

Why is it daytime and why aren't you burning?

There's nothing to be frightened of.

Just do exactly as I tell you.

Fine, just don't put your hands in the water.

Now get in the boat. Keep still, no sudden movement.

Um, I don't think I want to do this anymore.

Do as you're told, or I'll leave you here.

Get in.

Ready or not, here I come.

Oh, that reminds me, have you seen George?

She must have found a good hiding place.

Let's go and flush her out.

We can be home in time for breakfast.

I told you not to put your hands in the water. Now come on.

Where is Malik?

Where is my son?

That's what I'd like to know.

Get in.

Open the vortex.

Thanks for your help, Malik. We make our first move and you've already let me

down. I tried. I still couldn't get through.

You're right. I don't understand. I've been through there before. You were

there. Maybe I should have dragged you with me like I did back then.

What?

I think you need to have a word with Mummy Dearest.

Open the vortex.

It's all true.

Promise.

Jumping through a mirror.

A lake.

A talking rock.

And slime.

I don't understand.

I do.

You're both leaving right now.

I was wrong.

Garthside is more dangerous than ever.

Come on, Heather.

What happened?

Vlad?

You're not coming with us, are you? I can't right now.

I'm sorry.

I understand.

But, Mum, wait.

What about the birthday?

She's been really excited, planning this whole big surprise.

Shh, George.

All Vlad needs to know is that we'll be there for him.

Whatever he needs.

So now you know the truth.

There's only one reason for your entry to be barred.

So this is the secret.

The final betrayal. How could you?

Listen to me, Malik. Listen to me. I did this for you.

No! No!

The world will come to dread

what you have made me.

We'd better get back.

Take my hand, and we'll stick together.

I suspected Malik might betray me, Ingrid. Or I didn't suspect

it was you being part of that.

We were just checking to see if Elizabeth is still zoned.

So where's the crystal?

Beyond the mirror.

See for yourself if you don't believe me. Why should I?

All you've ever done is lie to me. I trusted you. Oh, it sounds more like a

breather every day.

Well, I'm not. I'm a Dracula. And it looks like I'll be staying at Gaslight

keep an eye on the pair of you.

You couldn't even wait till I was gone, could you?

You had to ruin my one chance of happiness.
