Alisa...

..what is that?

Alisa?

What's wrong, Master?

It's been...

..hundreds of years since I spilled my last tear.

Are we close to the Beloff grave yet?

Master? Four moons.

Three, if we hurry.

Alisa, wait.

Wait, please.

She has the spark.

Elisabetha's blood and Dracula's tears

created 13 rubies with special powers.

During the clan wars, most rubies were lost.

Only a few clans survived...

..the Dracas...

..the Lycana...

..the Nosferas...

..the Pyras...

..the Vyrad...

..and the Vamalia.

Alisa von Vamalia...

..take my hand.

You're next.

Next?

Go to class.

Come closer.

Show me your fangs.

She has a small bite.

Very elegant.

2.1.

She's not the one we're looking for.

Thank you, Alisa.

You may return to class.

Next.

Open your mouth.

Alisa...

..we saw you crying.

Crying, that's not supposed to be possible.

I won't tell anyone.

I promise.

We promise.

But we have to know what's going on.

I can't tell you.

I don't understand a thing that's happening to me.

You have the spark.

I can't believe that it actually exists.

What is "it"?

I've never heard of it before.

It's been kept out of our history books.

Hindrik knows.

He won't tell me. He's afraid of it for some reason.

Everybody's afraid of it...

..all the shadows, all the elders.

My father used to tell me

horror stories about the curse of the spark

and its power to...

..end all vampires.

Everyone can relax now.

Although I'm quite the catch, I'm not the biter.

None of you are, for that matter,

neither are your shadow vampires.

Everyone has been cleared.

That means...

..that we have an unidentified vampire

running around biting humans.

If you hear or see anything...

Ratty!..suspicious, let me know.

Aw, I've missed you.

Despite the fuss this night,

we are sticking to our schedule.

And today, we will be learning something about

communicating with animals,

a very helpful power given to the Pyras clan of France.

Joanne, would you please step forward?

Just breathe.

Stand up straight.

I will teach you this.

Before we can learn to speak to animals,

you must learn how to listen to them.

We vampires do have perfect hearing.

We need to channel that.

Use it as a filter.

To filter out the... I'd rather filter this out.

Malcolm of Vyrad... But Contessa, the sun is already up.

Can't we just get a good day's sleep

and do something more useful tomorrow?

Like, I don't care what those little bugs have to say,

and I can't imagine why I'd want to talk to them either.

Communicating with animals seems like a useless power.

I mean, they'd do anything for a bit of food.

That's not power.

Joanne...

..are you ready?

You think so?

The Pyras have a useless power?

Yeah.

You watch and learn like a good schoolboy, or I'll...

What you doing?!

It burns, the sun, it burns!

What have you learned, Malcolm?

Something as small as a simple moth

yields as much power as something loud and big, like you.

Joanne, the class is all yours.

As I was saying...

..you need to listen to the animals before you learn to speak to them.

So, my first lesson...

..I'll teach you...

..to really hear what they have to say.

Why is he a wolf?

He was in wolf form when the Upiry stole our ruby.

He's stuck until I find Tonka and take it back.

Can you understand him?

No.

I speak to him and hope that he can understand me, but...

..I'm not sure.

You saw Dracula give her the ruby?

Seymour and I searched the world for our clan's ruby,

to take it back.

Since the Upiry fought on Dracula's side, we went to his castle.

When we finally found it, we saw Dracula...

..awake.

Come now, the sun is almost up.

Thank you, Master.

You never got the Dracas' call.

You followed Tonka to the Elisabetha and found us here.

We only realised that this was a school

after watching the boat for a few days.

Why not just tell Conte Claudio how you found the ship?

He never asked.

And we didn't know who we could trust.

The Nosferas were so cruel to the Lycanas during the clan wars.

So were the Dracas.

Our plan was to get the ruby and leave you all to your fate.

Everything else didn't matter.

We wanted the ruby...

..get away and begin our new life.

Well, what changed your mind?

You did.

Me?

You were kind... to me, to both of us.

And you seem to trust us.

So, maybe, old times were changing...

..for good.

You helped me see that.

So let us help you.

What's the plan?

Well, if Tonka's after Conte Claudio's rubies,

there's someone we need to warn.

Hindrik?

Are you there?

I need to talk to you.

Hindrik!

What's going on?

I think someone's out to get the Nosferas rubies.

Could you go check on Conte Claudio and Contessa Viola?

Alisa thinks someone's out to steal their rubies.

Fine.

But you're not trying to get rid of me, are you?

I-I'm happy you found love, Hindrik, I really am, but...

..you have to be more careful.

What if I was an elder?

If they find you with Raphaella, you'll be punished,

you and Raphaella!

We don't agree with Shadow Law any more.

We need love to endure eternity.

To endure it?

How to explain forever to someone as young as you.

When the past outweighs the present

and still there is no end to what's going to come.

But what about Tammo and me?

You and Tammo will grow up.

You will have children of your own, your lives will deepen.

I see no reason why we shadows should lead a shallow existence.

Raphaella and I have decided,

we want to bring it up with the council of clans.

No.

Don't go to the council.

I think you should be able to love, I really do, but...

..what if...

..what if they convict you?

If you want the world to ever change, someone has to speak up.

What about Tammo and me?

You'll be gone for forever!

Who's going to take care of us?

Did you think about that?!

Do you have any idea how selfish you are?!

Alisa!

Wait! I'll talk to her.

I don't want your stupid tears!

I'm really sorry.

You and Tammo, you mean the world to me.

It's just...

You know how much your father and mother loved each other, right?

And just... just a little bit of that...

..it would...

Mean the world to you.

Yeah.

I...

I think Raphaella's really nice.

I really love her,

from the depths of my soul.

Raphaella!

No!

My love...

No, stop!

Hindrik.

What have you done?

I love you. I love you.

Hindrik. It's all right. Shadows should never love.

Your love must have driven you insane.

We have no choice but to accuse you of murder.

Take him away!

Hindrik. No! No!

No! Hindrik, please... No! ..you need to come with us. No!

Hindrik. No!

Hindrik! Don't struggle. Let me go!

Hindrik! Hindrik, please, stop. No!

Hindrik! No!

Hindrik! No!

He would never hurt her! - Tammo, we know. We know. No!

No! Tammo. No, no! Tammo, we know! Hindrik!

We know. Hindrik!

Where are you?

Two of these, please, as well.

Catch.

Alisa!

Nicu, What are you doing here?

Are you OK?

What are you looking for?

So is this the friend you've been telling me about?

Yeah.

This is Alisa.

Alisa, hi! I'm Calvina, Nicu's mother.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

I love your style.

Love it.

Nicu, um, why don't you

invite your friend around to our house for dinner tonight?

Dinner?

You're going to cook?

Well, yeah, I could try. I mean...

..it'd be nice!

Get to know Alisa a bit better and...

And anyway you two shouldn't be out at night

with vampires running around town anyway, so...

Right, let's go and find something.

Let's go and get something from the market.

Are you sure about this, Hindrik?

Once you sign, there's no turning back.

Nicu, go and light some candles. OK?

Yeah. We don't want our guest sitting in the dark, do we?

Do you especially like garlic?

No, um, but it serves a purpose.

Told you, Mum, it makes the place stink.

Welcome...

..to our very temporary, very humble...

..also stinking home.

You OK?

Yeah. It's just...

..your mum scares me a bit.

Sorry, where is it?

Come on, come on.

Here it is.

You are so sweet and innocent.

Here.

For you, for your protection.

Mum, I need to talk to you now, please.

Quit acting crazy! What are you doing? Don't mess this up for me.

I really like her!

I'm trying to protect you.

You're trying to test her to see if she's a vampire.

No, I wasn't testing her...

Can you just be a mum for once and not a crazed Redmask?

Nicu, I'm just... Just stop. She's a person, she's not a vampire.

Will you stop? Thank you!

It's really nice.

See?

Good to know that my son has the chance to get a heart like yours.

And to be honest, no idea how to cook, so,

you two are just going to have to go out for dinner.

But it's dark out.

Well, you're not a child any more, right?

Let me see...

What have we got here? OK, there you go, that should be enough.

Off you pop. Go on.

Thank you.

Have fun, OK?

Have fun.

Be safe!

She's, a lot, I know.

She's just trying to protect you.

I can't keep this.

Yeah, that's fine.

Um, your parents the same?

My parents are dead.

I'm sorry. They've been gone a long time.

My brother and I have lived with our grandmother and our sha... uncle

for as long as I can remember.

Do you miss them?

Yes.

Lately... I've been dreaming about them.

Alisa, you need to come back with me, now!

And you are? A classmate.

Yeah. Alisa, we need to get back... OK.

..to class. I have to go. I'm sorry.

Wait!

Wait.

How did you find me?

Lycanas are good trackers.

We're the best.

Alisa, there's something I have to tell you.

Claudio, he, um...

..he gave Hindrik his punishment for killing Raphaella.

What? When?

He has to walk the sun at sunrise.

I'm so sorry.
