"I swear, politics make every species stupid." Vanessa Yale, a human girl adopted and raised by vampires when she was a baby. She still went to bed at 12am, and woke up at 7am for school and a normal life. But back home, things were anything but normal. The current vampire ruler was stepping down, and to succeed him, he demanded the freshest blood from a respectable household. Not that Vanessa thought her family was interested. Not that that stopped other vampires from coming after her. Now she couldn't enjoy night shopping without her adoptive parents sending their kids to babysit her. Life sucked. Then even that, as she knew it, decided to drive her off the cliff.
