"OK. Let's get the awkward part over with. I'm a vampire. Now, before you go all "Oh my gosh! Lucky!" I just want to say…No. I am not lucky! I'm a dead, creature of the night that people either find funny or attractive. So when vampires fang-up, people don't run. They get eaten. Fun, right?"
Alexander "Alex" VonBlutsauger is a vampire, but with a soul. He's constantly torn between his two halves: the undead and the living. But that's not enough. His soul has a soulmate named Riley. His condition makes it even harder for him. For most teens, it's a problem with asking their crush out. For Alex, that's not an option. What if he bites her? He won't condemn her to the torture he goes through every day. But love doesn't listen to reason.

This story was inspired by "Angel" and exists in that universe, along with "Buffy the Vampire Slayer". I make references to that world because it exists in that universe. Other than that, all the characters and the plot is mine. I wrote this story a while ago (at least a year's time) as an essay for school and added the dialogue on to make it a story. This is kinda cheesy because I wrote it so long ago, my writing is better now. I hope you like it!
Ari and Soren's adventures continue as Soren struggles with his new vampiric urges and a coven of witches attempts to recruit Ari for their own ends.
*****
As dark dreams plague Soren, Ari finds his new abilities difficult to control. Something is awakening within him, and as his power grows, he attracts the attention of a group of witches who call themselves the Hecataeon. They believe Ari is an emanation of the goddess Hecate - a physical manifestation of her power - and they want that power for themselves. With their relationship facing challenges from within, Ari and Soren must find a way to unite their strengths before external forces tear them apart.
