A ghost story to a town, one told of three brothers who lost their lives... Nothing more, forgotten and lost, defined by their last name,

Burden.

Elijah, Sage and Julian.

Elijah, the oldest brother, Lonely.
Sage, the middle brother, Tired.
Julian, the youngest brother, Afraid.

But when a childish group of teenagers decides it's a good idea to sleep over at the house, they see they've bitten off a lot more then they can chew...

Blake Marrok 
-
Defined mostly by his inability to speak seaks to be wanted and never wanting to be left alone, catching the eye of the eldest brother Elijah, but doesn't believe in the supernatural

Pluto Xander
-
With a personality seeming almost out if the roof, he calms down in the way of what the house, knowing something's off when they get there, he's cheerful and always seems happy, attracting Sage, the middle child's attention for how happy and up about everything he was, never seeming tired.

Stephan Cecil
-
Sitting in-between Pluto and Blake for how he prooved as calm, tending to try and think more logically, though his mind liked to lead him astray, he seems a little jumpy, gaining Julian's attention for his fearless nature, or act.

The group together goes to this house not expecting much but silly stories, but walk away learning much more about what happened there, what horrors.

59 parts Complete Mature
A girl, a boy and a set of sharp canines-how do you survive in a world where humans and vampires live together? Nineteen-year-old Maya has too much on her plate. Trying to protect her younger sister. Struggling with crushes on unsuitable guys. Justin is a newly converted vampire, battling to resist the urge to kill and desperately worried about his brother, converted at the same time but AWOL ever since. If the authorities find him first, he's toast. When the two of them meet through the vampire Maya earmarks to help her with an exciting project aimed at making money, both are taken aback by the mutual attraction. First rule of vampire-human integration though...? You don't go that far. And while living in this bleak world poses its own hazards, not least because those in charge are too ready to ride rough shod over vampires and happy to accept backhanders, Maya and Justin still need to cope with the day to day stuff. Going to college, fighting with your mum, obsessing over the food you can't eat, dealing with unpopularity and online trolls.
