It's been a long time since Sang has thought about that old creaky house on Sunnyvale court. Three years to be exact. At 14 years old it took all of her strength to withstand the torturous ways of her family. With a drunk father, a demented excuse of a mother, and a sister who tortured her, Sang had been living in a house of horrors. The only light in her life were the boys who showed her kindness and compassion- but one day even they left. She was alone. All that changed when Adelaide walked in- a vampire with good intentions and bad habits. Why would Sang think of that house, when she's got a vampire to protect her now? Oh right. The Blackbourne Hunters are in town, the finest Hunters known to the Supernatural world, and they're sniffing out a vampire.

This story is the fanfiction version of In The Shadows written by the amazing Katydids. It is now an original, with a completed first book and the beginning of a second.

When Sang's father dies, she and her mother move away to her grandparents. There she meets a group of guys that live down the road who are so much more than they seem. Soon, Sang's world is rocked with a revelation that changes all she's every known about herself and her family. And with this revelation comes a danger that she may not be equipped to deal with.

A whole year; they'd been beyond my reach for an entire year and the days just seemed to be getting longer and harder to handle. I visited them every day and watched over them as they rested but how much longer can I continue to endure this? For so many months they were all that I'd had and now I felt like my whole universe had imploded. My true family; the one I'd chosen, my boys. They weren't down the street anymore. I couldn't send them a message and ask them to come and visit. Slowly, as the days turned to weeks and then months, my pain had numbed along with every other emotion and I could function on some level but I hadn't smiled since the day that Dr Roberts had knocked on Nathan's door and informed me that somehow Volto had won.
