Erm...

It's me. Alisa, not right now.

I kissed...

Y-Your hair.

It's... it's back.

Yes.

How?

It can't be.

You're not an Heir.

I'm a Shadow.

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.

And Seymour?

Is he a Shadow, too?

No. He's an Heir.

The last of his kind.

His whole clan was wiped away.

His parents,

his brothers,

his sisters,

everyone.

He wandered the Earth alone.

Seymour found me one day while I was playing with my younger sisters.

He bit me -

twice -

to turn me into a Shadow.

Just to escape his loneliness.

But he regretted the life he chose for me,

realising I couldn't remember my own family after I turned.

He understood that he took everything from me.

Just like everything was taken from him.

He let me go.

I was free to go where I wanted,

but then his ruby was stolen...

..when he was out hunting for food

as a wolf.

Seymour, don't be scared.

I couldn't let him go through it alone.

I wanted to help him

get his ruby back,

and free him from his animal prison.

I would've listened.

I wanted to tell you, I really did.

But you can't imagine the freedom I felt when you thought I was an Heir.

I could learn,

I could... feel love.

I could be me.

I didn't think we'd stay.

Way too dangerous if the Elders ever found out.

We just wanted to track down the Upiry,

get Seymour's ruby back,

and leave.

We can't any more.

We can't leave you.

I didn't mean to lie to you.

Boy, do I know that feeling.

Wh-what?

Where are we?

I didn't know I could bring a guest this way.

I don't understand.

We're just observers.

To what?

Whatever the Spark wants me to see.

Look after them. I will return with the other rubies.

Alisa von Vamalia, I know you are watching me.

And you've brought a friend.

You must be Ivy. Tonka has told me so much about you.

Lars not joining us today?

How about Elisabetha?

Still stuck in the hell you put her in?

That's nothing compared to the hell

I'm going to put your friends in when I come to get my last rubies.

We'll be waiting.

Alisa, I want to go!

We need to go, please!

He's coming, Alisa. What do we do?

He can't hurt us here, don't worry.

We find the Knot and beat him to it.

If I untie it first, he'll become a human like before.

He'll be so old, I... think he'll turn to dust instantly.

How do we find the Knot? It wasn't in the book that we found.

What's going on?

I'll tell you when the time is right.

I know someone who knows more than he's telling us.

And where's Lars?

I don't know.

Well, we need to find him.

Wait, what did you want to tell me earlier?

You sure you want to ask me now?

You kissed Lars?

You kissed Lars!

He's a good kisser, right?

Nobody trusts me.

Nobody likes me.

No-one.

Nobody

but you.

Malcolm.

What are you doing here?

Nothing.

I found this rat,

thought I'd release it out here before it eats through a coffin.

Well, forget the rat, man, you're teaching us tomorrow -

you've got to be fit.

What do you care?

I just thought you were looking forward to teaching us.

I'll give you a lesson for sure.

What's going on?

Nothing, man.

All right? I'm joking.

OK, I'm actually preparing for it in here,

so go back to the dorm and I'll be right there.

OK.

Good to see you again, sweetie.

Do you have a girlfriend?

No.

No?

But you want one.

I can smell it.

This Lars is getting all the lady action around here, isn't he?

And Alisa, two boys wrapped around her finger.

Don't you want something?

Yeah.

Did you bring it?

Yes, of course.

I've got all the human red you want.

Lars, Alisa needs you.

Really?

What?

What?

Really?

I know you kissed her.

Hurry.

I need to speak to you.

Are you all right?

I'm OK, I'm fine, don't worry.

All I do is worry about you.

If Dame Elina knew what was going on...

She'll have me bricked up in a house forever. I know.

But...

Why did you want me to lie to the Contessa?

Why can't she know about the spell?

No-one can.

Especially not the elders, so stop asking questions.

If you tell me the truth.

It's dangerous. Yeah, you've told me.

But why?!

Quiet!

You're not going to stop, are you?

Never ever.

Ha!

You see? That's what I'm telling you about.

Come on!

Ha! Ya!

Wah!

That's it, I'm dead.

I'm going to the well. No, young man!

Why do you wait at that well every day anyway?

For Alisa?

She didn't show up, did she?

Well, maybe she doesn't like weak boys.

Come on, then.

Yes! OK, now you're fighting for something.

That girl is a good influence on you.

Can I go now?

Almost. Erm...

I-I want you to do something for me.

I want you to join me tonight...

..and after that you can choose however you want to live.

With training or without it, whatever you choose.

I promise...

..I'll let you go out at night and I won't stop you.

Never?

No Redmask history lessons, no sword fighting, no bow and arrows?

None of it?

I just need you to step into my world once. I...

I need you to understand me.

I'll think about it.

Say hi to Alisa for me.

I will, I will.

It's in code.

I haven't been able to crack it, but I'm not the one who should.

Well, whose is it?

It's your mother's.

What?

When you were little, we found it hidden under your bed.

Dame Elina wanted it destroyed.

Your mother, she was afraid of the Elders finding out

she had the Spark.

But I kept it.

Here.

Read the first page.

You'll understand.

I tried to protect you, Alisa,

so please be careful.

Your mother died because of what's in this book.

And?

Hindrik's mind is telling half truths.

It's harder for me to crack than a simple lie

cos I don't know which half is telling the truth.

But... he thinks it's your mother's.

Did my grandmother want to destroy it?

Yes.

After that, it gets murkier.

He's worried sick about you, though.

That's real.

He's trying to protect you the only way he can.

Let's hope there's some real truth in that book.

"My sweet Alisa...

"if you're reading this, something has gone terribly wrong..."

Trust no-one, especially not the Elders.

They can't see the future in the right light any more.

Their motives darkened, selfish.

I love you so much, my little one.

I will miss you forever, but it's a sacrifice I'll have to make.

"You will inherit the burden of the Spark one day.

"It's in our blood.

"It's our destiny."

When the time comes, you'll need my notes.

I almost found the location of the Knot.

"But no-one must know.

"Especially not..."

Especially not the Dracas.

"Especially not...

"the Dracas."

The Dracas can't be trusted.

"They want the Knot for the worst reasons.

"Don't let the Dracas get too close to you."

They all want to stop you - Heirs, Shadows, Redmasks alike.

The code...

"The code I used is masked in illusions only you can decipher."

I can't tell you what to do when the time comes, but you'll know.

You'll do what's right.

I love you so much...

..my little one.

Watching over you till the end of time, love...

"Mum."

I don't understand.

What are these symbols?

It doesn't make sense.

I don't get it.

What is it?

You need to decipher the code.

What code?

How am I supposed to do this?

You're too late, little girl.

I don't understand!

You need to decipher the code.

Alisa! Shh.

We can't alarm the Elders.

We have to keep this a secret until we figure it out.

OK?

Lars! Give her time.

OK?

OK.

We have to hide this.

WOLF HOWLS IN DISTANCE

Claudio, why are we here?

What is so urgent we all travelled oceans to meet here?

We're in danger.

Our forefather has awoken.

Dracula?! It can't be.

Alisa has seen him in her mind, in dreams.

No.

Please.

Alisa, not you, too.

Alisa's going to be all right, Elina.

We will protect her.

We will.

I wish I could believe that.

I believe he is coming for us.

Once and for all.

What'd you wish for?

To be normal.

Like everybody else.

What's the fun in that?

Besides, I...

I like you just the way you are.

What's wrong?

I'm not the best company right now.

And I have to go soon. Please stay.

I've been coming here every day, and now you're finally here.

I'm going to cheer you up.

Please.

Just let me try.

Alisa von Vamalia.

Alisa?

Where is she?

Alisa wasn't feeling so well, so she'll be in a little later.

Nothing serious?

No, no. Just... girl stuff.

What's on your mind?

Just friends.

I'm not supposed to trust one of my best friends.

Well, you can't be friends if you can't trust.

OK, so, no talk -

I-I can do that.

I just want to... do something to get my mind off it.

So, what do you want to do?

We can go on a walk, we can go to a library.

Yeah, sounds great.

Alisa!

Lovely to see you again.

Yes, really nice.

You know, you are a really good influence on my son.

Wasn't I saying that earlier today?

Yeah, I was.

So, erm, did Nicu tell you that we're about to go

and see some friends?

They are not my friends, I've never even met them before.

You promised. I said I would think about it.

And Alisa and I are going somewhere.

We'll come.

Let's go.

Yeah, we'll come with you.

Great. More the merrier.

Come on, this way.OK.

Malcolm is going to teach us today how to control the weather.

Malcolm.

Malcolm?

We won't stay long.

I'll let them know we have new blood joining.

New blood?

Don't mind her, and don't mind her crazy friends.

They're all weirdos, but we'll have a laugh.

Malcolm of Vyrad!

Good of you to join us.

Everyone inside - now.

You're going to teach your fellow classmates the Vyrads' power today.

Are you not?

Yes.

Indeed, my fair lady.

These are the new bloods.

I'm not really feeling a lot of love from the class

to learn a lesson without our sweet Alisa present.

Our hearts, so cold without her.

Freeze.

We know there is more than one vampire in the area.

Rumours have spotted young ones, possibly blood-borns.

Your dear Alisa, do you miss her already?

Can't live without her?

What's gotten into you?

Sit down!

What are your orders, Calvina?

We continue training.

Stop!

We continue planning.

Be very careful, don't get near him.

I think he's drunk on red.

Let me handle this.

We wait for the perfect moment.

Lightning doesn't hurt us, you fool!

And then...

It wasn't meant to hurt you!

..we attack.

It was meant to distract you!

Let her go, you witch!

Yeah! Kill the vampires! Kill them all!
