Young Dracula

Ingrid finds herself on the run from slayers.

Powerful vampire Ramanga arrives, expecting the Praedictum Impaver to be opened and demanding to see the Chosen One. But Vlad has been summoned by the Blood Mirror and must face not just one but a thousand evil reflections.

Vlad and his gang have 48 hours to ensure that all Vampires are off the street and are prepared to abide by peaceful co-existence between the Vampires and the Slayers. There are plenty of people who are hoping and plotting for Vlad’s initiative to fail. Not least the Count who is secretively in cahoots with Vampire High Council Member, Ramanga and High Council wannabe Ingrid, to bring the peaceful co-existence to it’s knees, that when he’s not fantasizing about his beloved Miss McCauley. In a last ditch attempt to prove his plan can succeed, Vlad and Jonno arrange a Vampires Vs Slayers football tournament. What can possibly go wrong?

Vlad’s peace initiative hangs in the balance but with a lot of help from Jonno, Bertrand and Erin they manage to persuade all the lawless ferals, including the charismatic new boy Malik, and bad ass Ryan to turn up to SCRAP school at Garside. The school will help them wean off biting and onto a breather friendly alternative – soya blood. A victory as far as Vlad is concerned until the Count bowls a googly: To win favour with the High Council and the ancient vampire clans, Vlad must marry Adze Ramanga’s daughter.

Adze arrives at Garside and much to Erin's chagrin, she is beautiful. Vlad doesn't appear to notice, as he's too busy scheming on how he can get out of the arrangement. However, Ramanga and Adze are plotting to get rid of the only person who might put a spoke in the wheel - Erin. A direct assault would be too provocative so they plan a smear campaign centring on Ryan. It backfires and opportunes Vlad with a moment of reprise.

Malik is secretly meeting with a mystery being and his loyalty to the Dracula’s is not so clear cut. Ingrid strikes a deal with Ramanga. She will give spy on Vlad and Erin in return for Ramanga’s support in her bid to be the first woman on the High Council. Vlad is under duress not just because he has to find a way out of his forthcoming marriage to Adze but also because finding enough blood to supply his SCRAP vampires is not as easy he and Jonno initially thought. And as if Vlad didn’t have enough to worry about the Count has agreed to Ms McCauley’s suggestion that they elect a member of the SCRAPs onto Garside school’s senate. When the reluctant Ryan wins, instead of Malik it begins to look like it was a fit up – this escalates to down right suspicion when Ryan collapses and dies after being crowned with Mortar board.
