Lucien quickly drinks the elixir, he begins his transformation back to the older, more powerful Lucien....

Just as he completes his transition, Vlad awakens, now old, weak and mortal....

VINCENT / VLAD- “So you think that you have stopped me? You know that I can return to Europe, and there are vampires there that can change me back, and when they do I will come for you Aron Goth....I will come for all of you!”

LUCIEN- “I don’t think so, Vlad. We knew this would be your plan, and we are not going to allow you to remain on this earth.”

VINCENT / VLAD- “HA!!  I know as well as you do, that the only one that has the power to destroy me and not be held accountable for my demise, is the realm master...which right now, is still you, Lucien.  You know you can not do it...”

LUCIEN- “I can!  And I WILL!  You played me the fool, posing as Vincent Strahan, using my powers, and my compassion against me. No more Vlad. You have destroyed countless witches, and vampires.  Your entire family has brought a curse over this entire Hallow, and your evil is going to stop NOW!”

VINCENT / VLAD - “And just how do you propose to do that, Lucien?”

LUCIEN- “Just as you controlled me, with a kiss....

With the abilities combined of Lucien, Aron, Ronan and Bella, Aron blasts Vlad with such force that he falls to the ground.  As he tries to get up, Arom blasts him again....

ARON- “Quick, Ronan, get the serum ready...

Aron grabs him from the floor and takes him into a hold. Vlad is weakened by the magical forces of the witches and even though he struggles he is unable to free himself from Aron’s hold.

RONAN- “Now, Aron?”

Vlad/Vincent took him down to his room, which was the cellar. However, Michael’s abilities were working to fight Vlad’s spell, and he began to recast, even more powerful this time....

VLAD- “And just to make sure you are weakened so that the spell takes hold, I need to eat....

With that Vlad bit into Michael’s flesh, and not only was he drinking his blood, he was also taking in his powers through the spell he cast.

VINCENT- “What do you think you are doing, Lucien!?”

LUCIEN- “What are you talking about, what I am doing. Is something wrong?”

VINCENT- “Is SOMETHING wrong? Are you kidding me? You invited that witch into this house!  He is up to something and you are just sharing information with him, like he is part of our plan!”

LUCIEN- “I shared nothing with him!”

VINCENT- “You told him about the elixir, and the transfer ceremony...”

LUCIEN- “Vincent, his father is a coven master, he knows who I am, and he knows I am almost 80 years old. I had to explain to him why I only look 35. And you were the one talking about the ceremony, I don’t know what the big deal is. “

VINCENT- “He was READING our minds...I know it!”

LUCIEN- “So what if he was, we are not doing anything wrong...right?”

VINCENT- “Of course not, but someone may get the wrong idea, someone like a coven master’s son, who apparently is a very powerful witch himself. I do not trust him.”

LUCIEN- “The why would you invite him back for dinner?”

VINCENT- “To take care of him, so that he keeps his mouth shut.”

LUCIEN- “Vincent, you are confusing me, there is nothing for him to keep his mouth shut about. We are doing nothing here except having a ceremony naming Ronan as the new Realm Master.”

VINCENT- “Yes... you are right.  I am just being overly cautious.  I suppose with the whole other thing.  I mean that could be construed as dark magics.”

The next morning, Ronan was up early and found the library upstairs, down the hall from his room.  He was overwhelmed by the books that were here.  Most of them relating to Witch history and more Vampire history.

LUCIEN- “Good morning, Ronan, I am glad to see that you have found the library and are studying.  The more you learn of our history, the more this will help you.”

RONAN- “The books I found in my room were regarding Vampires, and their history.  I didn’t think that vampires really---

LUCIEN- “Oh, yes, they are real, Ronan. Your great Great grandfather, Akira Kibo was a vampire that found a cure and was able to live out his life with Cruz as human. Cruz’ daughter Eva was involved with a vampire that almost destroyed her and her family.  They are real.  And even further back the Goth’s and the Straud’s were, well let’s say they were like family.”

RONAN- “But when Vlad Straud’s grandson vanquished him and then vanished, the curse was lifted upon this town, and no one has heard of any vampiric activity since. I suppose the realm felt it wasn’t necessary any longer to study them?”

LUCIEN- “We have, yes, but not within the witch covens, only here at the realm.

RONAN- “So are they a threat?”

LUCIEN- “No, they are not, but it is always good to keep our eyes open, so to speak.”

RONAN- “Yes, I suppose.  Is Michael joining us for breakfast?”

LUCIEN- “Michael was called back to Oasis Springs early this morning, coven business there. So for now, it’s just us here.”

Vincent/Vlad had entered the room, Ronan and Lucien were unaware of his presence.

VINCENT- “Okay gentleman, I know what is happening here tonight---

LUCIEN- “What do you mean, Vincent?”

VINCENT- “We have a room for you set up as well, Master Michael.”

MICHAEL- “I am not ready to rest, as Lucian referred to it.  I want to discuss some things with you.”

VINCENT- “Very well, but you must know, I know nothing of Lucian’s plan, or the reasoning behind all of it.”

MICHAEL- “Really?  I doubt that, but no that isn’t what I want to discuss....Just who are you!?”

VINCENT- “I am Vincent Edward Strahan, I was born in London to my parents and have traveled all of the world. I recently lost my parents, and decided to move here and start fresh...with Lucien.”

MICHAEL- “But why here?  Why in Forgotten Hollow and why in the Straud Family Estate.  Do you know who owned this estate for centuries?”

VINCENT- “I do, Master Michael. I am a student of history, especially history of the supernatural. I know all about the Strauds, and their tactics...and their abilities.

MICHAEL- “And their evil atrocities!!”
