actually.

Drinking the blood of humans

is such a messy affair...

...and considered quite common

these days.

Not to mention the matter of

disposing of the leftovers.

Leftovers?

- Come with me.

Come with you?

- To where you belong.

To my castle.

- But... but I, I...

I can't leave my

family behind.

Would you rather stay and drain these

people of their life-force...

...in order to quench your

insatiable thirst?

No.

I'll come with you.

- I hoped you might.

This place is not being Londra either.

Disappear, pronto!

Forgive the mask, I'm not overly

fond of the sun.

I know, how about

a parachute?

Parachutes

are for wimps.

Just out of interest,

where are we flying?

Towards our future together.

Call me pampered but...

...I like to travel in style.

Memma?

She was right here.

- Where's she gone?

Hey, give me that.

Come on. Jump.

You can do it if you try.

That's gonna be handy.

A little jest.

Only I can do that.

This is a bit sudden, don't you think?

Your lunch.

What on earth is this?

I want blood, not a pill.

Trust me, Emma.

- But how can I trust you? You're Dracula.

That's why only I know what you need.

Yes, it's an acquired taste.

It's working.

I'm changing back.

Why are you helping me?

You're the first person

in a thousand years...

...who has lifted my melancholy.

- That's so sad.

No, because you have

been worth the wait.

Finally there's someone who can

understand me and share my life.

Romantically.

A vampire wife.

Wait, did you send that

witch after us?

Witch? No, I don't know any witches.

Do they even really exist?

I want to get back

to my family.

Do they really make you happy?

Well... sometimes.

"Sometimes" is nowhere near enough

for you, my darling.

You deserve to be happy "always".

I will devote myself to...

...showing you a life beyond

your wildest dreams.

Our home would be

my castle.

But we will travel...

...to the most romantic places.

I will give you this world...

...and worlds beyond.

It could be wonderful.

Can your husband offer you anything

like that?

We did play Scrabble on a Tuesday night

last May for no particular reason.

Then what are you waiting for,

my love? Follow your heart to me.

Oh. I...

...I have to get back to my family.

You would choose

to be unhappy?

No. But when you're a mother,

you have to take the good with the bad.

Well if you're that sure,

don't let me keep you.

You could have just called me a cab!

If mum doesn't show up here...

- ...we might never see her again.

Emma will be fine, guys.

Relax.

Tai chi with me. I call this one...

'Chicken Flies Into The Soup'

Mum?

Memma.

Coming!

Mummy!

I really need to practise that.

You're back!
