Prologue

His name is Jake English. He has lived on an island for most of his life, and was adopted by his grandmother and became part of the famous Harley family. However, for some unknown his last name was never changed to hers. It wasn't until he had met the rest of her family, that he had found out the reason why. The family was split into three groups. The Harley's, the Crockers, and The Egbert families. They were all respected families and wealthy. Harley's were well known for their weapons, creating and distributing them. Crockers, were as one would know the franchise that worked constantly with baking products. And the Egbert's were of more of a humorous route, they ran pranking shops all over the country. Jake was the only English to be placed among these groups of famous people. However, behind what appears to be their normal lives there was a secret hidden within them all. They were hunters. Vampire and demon hunters. Jake had never seen a vampire before, until his grandmother had caught one one day during one of their trips to London. He thought it looked like any other person, until he saw its fangs. That changed everything. His grandmother now very old and I'll can no longer hold onto the power of the family. Now it was Jake's turn. But he needed to be trained, which was why he stayed on an island where beasts would roam about carelessly. There he survived on his own for years and he was all a lone. But not truly. He always was accompanied by a certain small set of friends. Roxy Lalonde. Jane Crocker, of course. And the one and only Dirk Strider. And today he had an announcement to make to them all. It's time. He's leaving the island and will be heading to America. Where many things will cross his path and new feelings and views will be born.
