DRACULA’S SONS
APRIL YOUNG, 18, an intelligent
young girl with crystal blue eyes and freckles around her slender nose rents a
room at the DARKE Brothers house when she moves to MALVILLE, a small town in
Atlanta to start University. At the start of the pilot episode April is in her
car driving up Malville, after a few seconds she gets close to the sign that
says ‘Welcome to Malville’ and she notices a small splatter of blood across the
letters ‘M-A-L’. She shudders as she has a flashback to her parents being
covered with blood after they were murdered when she was 10 years old, April
pulls up to a mediaeval looking building with mould growing on the walls and
huge dark trees surrounding it.
She walks in through the
already open doors and collects her entrance and admission forms from a woman
with a tight bun and grey suit. In front of the vending machine she spots a
young girl around her age with wild ginger hair down past her shoulders and
deep emerald green eyes, the young girl was struggling with a hell of a lot of
text books that soon landed all over the floor. April, feeling sorry for her
and needing a friend helps her pick up the books, after some discussion between
them she finds out the girls name is MARIA LEONARDS (who will be a main
character and a good friend to April throughout the season) and that they are
both studying the same course. Maria asks April where she is staying and April
responds, telling her that she will be staying with the DARKE Brothers, Maria
automatically freaks out mentioning all the ‘rumours’ spread about how strange
one of the brothers are, as well as the never reported ‘missing students’ after
each semester.
A few hours later April looks
around the college to see if she can find her classes however when walking down
the corridor she somehow gets distracted and results in bumping into a group of
people. She watches as the impact causes one of the boy’s coffee to spill however
he moves almost majestically the brown liquid avoiding his skin. The boy very
rudely ridicules and laughs at April however flirts with her at the same time.
April feeling very embarrassed walks past the group of people. There is a
flashback to when her mum and dad were at the dinner table talking about their
dreams for April to go to Malville university just like her grandparents did
and make the most of herself, the flashback takes a sharp turn and there is the
image of her parents bodies covered with blood.
An hour, or so after April
finishes looking for her classes she heads over to the ‘DARKE House’ to see
what all the fuss is about. As she follows the route given by the GPS she
notices a significant change in the skies, less sun. She pulls up at a house
that looks fairly modern however is far larger than she expected. April steps
out of the car, pulling her large suitcase to the overly large front door. She
rings the doorbell and a young man answers, his eyes a mixture of greens and
browns and his dimples deepening when he smiled. He introduced himself as
‘ALEC’ and welcomes her into the house, helping her with her luggage. Alec
shows her around the house avoiding one room which he says ‘is never really in
use’ and ignores the questions that April brings up about the room. Finally
April goes into her room, quickly falling asleep as soon as she lies down.
ALEC DARKE sighs putting on his
gloves ready for his shift at the local hospital, his eyes flash black as he
remembers his lack of blood from throughout the day and his fangs quickly peak
through he shakes his head and walks outside to start his car. There is a
flashback to a house with wooden floorboards and blood splattered across them
and then a pair of feet strolling around the puddles of crimson blood. After a
while Alec walks into the hospital smiling at the patients and other doctors,
one doctor approaches Alec whispering that there is a patient waiting for him
in Ward B. Alec nods and heads up there, as soon as the door opens his eyes
flash black again but he does not stop his fangs from being released, he grins
a sinister smile and walks up to the patient who screams in fear. There is a
flashback again and this time the blood on the floorboards leads up to two
bodies: April’s parents. The footsteps continue walking around the bodies
however slowly the camera moves upwards until the mixture of green and hazel
eyes become familiar: it was Alec. The flashback ends and Alec slowly brings
his teeth down to pierce the patient’s neck and the scene cuts.
April wakes up feeling
uncomfortable and heads downstairs in search of some food, she walks downstairs
and enters the kitchen picking up and taking a bite out of an apple. A voice
from behind her speaks ‘I’ve never seen biting an apple look so… interesting’.
April drops the apple in fear and sees the boy who ridiculed her through the
corridor. He asks whether she is a residence here and she nodded. ‘My name is
DRACO DARKE’ he smiles looking very narcissistic and hands over the apple she
dropped even though she never saw him pick it up.
The pilot ends with April
taking the apple and staring at Draco in shock.
