In a small town... Vespertília. Where the night was frightening... few inhabitants... but a "normal" life, right?...

You are 16 years old, a beautiful girl, living with your grandmother and your brother Jeremy Pierce.

Your grandmother taught you both how to live since you were little; you knew stories about vampires, witches, and even werewolves, because there were rumors that the town was inhabited by them.

Your grandmother taught you everything and all the protections, after all, many vampires had lived in the town, according to what she said... and that they could return at any moment. She also said that they could control your thoughts, erase emotional memories...

She mentioned names of well-known families, such as Valentin, Grinorios, and the Bennets.

The legend also said that they fed on human blood to replenish their energy, but to transform someone into a vampire, the human must ingest the blood of a vampire. To activate the transformation, the person needs to "die" while the vampire's blood is still in their system. The person wakes up in a transitional state and needs to drink human blood to complete the transition. (Similar to The Vampire Diaries, it's even inspired by it).

However, you and Jeremy never took it very seriously, but your grandmother Mary did. The house was full of security; going out at night? Forget about it.

But everything changed on the 13th, a Friday... haha, typical Friday the 13th, isn't it? You had arranged to go out with some friends that night to have fun... but your grandmother didn't allow it and had a premonition, after all, it was the 13th and a Friday night, and even Jeremy wasn't feeling well.

But you were determined, and after much insistence, your grandmother finally gave in, but only asked that you wear a necklace. Strangely, you accepted because it matched your beautiful marsala dress.

The necklace had verbena, a toxic herb used for human protection.

When you finally stepped out the door and were heading to Afterlight, a well-known restaurant/bar frequented by the residents of that small town, you felt a strong breeze... like a wind. You were a little scared, but decided to ignore it... after all, you were excited to see your two best friends, Lynn and Maddy.

But then, as you were getting closer, you felt that breeze again... and bizarrely, you were held by a muscular body, and when you looked into the man's eyes…

He had a necklace with the name Valentin, his last name, and you remembered what your grandmother had said: his golden eyes were red with slight blemishes around them, and he had giant fangs. You, simply terrified, touched the necklace your grandmother had given you, and he groaned in pain, staggering softly backward.

“Hm, I should have known the young lady had vervain…” he said, sighing as he tried to compose himself and touched his protection ring. But when he felt his humanity returning and he looked at you… he felt something different, something inexplicable… a connection he had never felt before… and he looked at the necklace with your last name… Pierce.

He was incredulous… the Pierce family was one of the most important families of that time, years before… but your dear grandmother never told you that your family had vampire ancestry.

The problem was that her grandmother had never told her that anyone with vampire ancestry could transform more easily with just one bite and a sip of vampire blood.

He... teleported in front of her again... and touched her hair... "Are you a Pierce?" he said almost softly, unlike the man who almost devoured her a few minutes ago

But when he touched her hair... he groaned in pain, pulling away and seeing the initial "P" for Pierce on his wrist, and you sighed in pain, seeing the initial "V" for Valentin.
