Vladdy P.O.V
After the alchemy drama, the house was a bit more peaceful. Dad & Ingrid went back to bickering like usual. Mum did her best to be a referee but I noticed she got tired easier. Dad noticed too & started to let Ingrid get away with more stuff. The sudden behaviour change was enough to worry me. For right now, I focused on helping mum pack.
"Do you really have to go?" I asked
"I'm sorry sweetie but your cousin Integra said it was urgent. She wouldn't use such grand words if it wasn't very serious." Mum answered before zooming around the bedroom again
"Yeah but you're the foundation of the family. It's so nice to not lie to a constable about the noise." I complained
"I'll be back before you know it. It's literally only for a night. I thought you were my fearless boy." Mum semi-joked before snapping her fingers for Renfield
"I guess." I mumbled
"Hey, things shouldn't be too crazy around here. If it does, you can always give me a ring." Mum assured me with a cute head bop
"Alright. Love you mum." I smiled as I held her tight
"Love you too." Mum reminded me, "See me off?"
"Of course." I answered before walking with her to the door. Dad & Ingrid joined us to see her get loaded into the car.
"Kids be good like always. I won't be too far. Darling, try not to get into much trouble & listen to the kids when you're angry." Mum warned us all
"My sweet, you doubt me so much. I swear to behave & have a peaceful family waiting for you." Dad promised as they held hands
"Yeah but I know you too well. I'll be back before you know it. Love you all." Mum joked before sending us kisses
"Ready ma'am?" The driver asked
"Yes." Mum quickly answered before stepping into the back. We all watched her being driven away & turned in when she wasn't visible.
The next day was the start of a full day without Mum. I was nervous since it meant that Dad was free to be full on vampy. The cruelty to Renfield was definitely amplified. However, Dad was sticking to his peasant free diet. Mum was extremely strict about that so we wouldn't draw attention. The sheep were a decent meal for him but he had to be mindful of the herders. He had a bit of attention as the notorious sheep nibbler. Tonight, Dad decided to send me off to bed but in his own way.
"Dad, I'm too old for bedtime stories & I'm too young to be sleeping in a coffin!" I objected
"You're never too young to learn good habits." Dad justified before explains the coffin, "Now it may seem a bit dark & scary at first but don't worry. Daddy's here to nail you in."
"But, I won't be able to breathe!" I screamed as the lid shut
"Breathe?! You're a vampire Vladdy." Dad reminded me
"Not yet I'm not." I yelled back but it mainly echoed. I got my hopes up when the lid slowly opened.
"Ooh, it's best to keep your mouth shut. Otherwise, you might get worms crawling in." Dad advised me
"Worms?!" I screamed as I shot straight up
"What's going on? Sounds like you're in pain. Can I watch?" Ingrid feigned concern as she walked in
"Yeah, come in the more the merrier. Dad's just nailing me into a coffin." I explained
"Ugh, typical. I'm nearly 16, why don't i get my own coffin?" She complained
