Ever since Basia lost her mother at the age of 5, her father and brother became her abusers. She made a vow never to talk to a man after that. They weren't trust worthy. After twelve years of putting up with that, she manages to escape and runs away to California. Where everything is different. She goes into her senior year, and is captivated by a group of students, more specifically, Callum; her tattooed Vampire. Will he make her talk for the first time in years? Or will his secret ruin everything?

He had spent centuries with only himself for company, he fed, tortured and killed that was his life and he liked it that way, until she came along and stirred something in him, something he couldn't and wouldn't accept. “If I were you I’d keep that stake sharp. Don’t expect anymore visits like this, next time I come I expect you to use that thing,” he told her pointing to the stake on the bed, and then he was gone.

A man once said; 'You can have anything in life, if you sacrifice everything else for it' Meaning; everything comes with a price. So before you go into battle, you better decide how much you're willing to lose. Too often, going after something that actually feels good, means letting go of what you know is right. And letting someone in, means abandoning the walls you've spent a lifetime building. Of course, the toughest sacrifices are the ones we don't see coming. When we don't have time to come up with a strategy, to pick a side, or to measure the potential loss. When that happens, when the battle chooses us, and not the other way around, that's when the sacrifice can turn out to be more than we can bear. ------------------------------------ The outside world isn't what we think it is. It's dark, it's cold, it's dangerous and it isn't the right place for a simple human to live. Life isn't always a love story like those cheesy fictions make it seem like. Bad things happen, things you cannot control, people you cannot control. And once they got their eyes on you... Let's just say you won't get rid of them that easy. Fighting won't solve it, you will be pulled back no matter what. Once they got their eyes on you, you'll be stuck. And that's exactly what Ella Parker is. Stuck. Stuck in a place she never thought excisted. Stuck with people she only read about in books. She's stuck with a bunch of vampires, and that only means trouble is on its way.
