Vampires exist. And they live amongst us, hidden within the shadows and right under our noses. They are beautiful, forbidden beasts; everything I've been trained to hate and reject.. Yet, what is this that I feel?
Lust? Desire? Love..?
His crimson eyes pierce through my soul, holding me captive in his gaze. I cannot move, nor do I want to. I want him, even if it means to commit the most sinful act in humanity. 
All for..Hardin Romano. 

Anastasia Cross. Orphan. Cold. Numb. Emotionless. All of the great aspects for a Vampire Hunter. 
When she was 9 she was found abandoned under a tunnel. Blood soaked clothes and tear stained cheeks, with no memory other than a tall dark figure walking away from her. She was scared. But now she wants revenge.. from the very thing that erased all that she has known before the age of 9. 
Vampires.

The deep by DecayingGodess
12 parts Ongoing Mature
A young woman, her past shrouded in shadows, teeters on the brink of oblivion, by her own hand. Captivating but challenging, she draws others in with an irresistible pull. Unafraid to unleash her sharp tongue like a deadly blade or use her claws, honed to perfection. She emanates a chilling aura that could freeze one's very soul, her eyes infused with the cunning of a fox. Though she has many twisted secrets and desires, she can not face them alone, in order to rise from the ashes, she must let go of any inhibitions, give herself completely to the temptations, and accept what fate has bestowed upon her. Especially if fate is wrapped up in such a sinful devastatingly gorgeous package. He is a wealthy surgeon concealing a darkness beneath his unearthly beauty. He exudes both rugged strength and gentle kindness, yet what he hides behind that meticulously constructed mask, is the inner demon, a beast that has an insatiable lust for desire and pleasure, and to claim what he perceives to belong to him. He is a downright psychopath underneath his carefully curated facade of caring protector. His protection is obsessive in its truest form, and he must embrace it no matter the cost. It's as if she had been plucked from the depths of hell to test him, unraveling the intricately woven veil he uses to shield himself. And perhaps he is exactly what she needs to bury her tumultuous past, and step in to her own era of psychotic dark goddess energy, even if only for a fleeting moment. Both carry unsettling truths within them and as they are thrust together in unavoidable proximity amidst spicy themes of seduction, their facades will begin to crumble. The outcome hangs precariously between mutual destruction or obliterating anyone who dares come between their enigmatic bond.

Finally, when she is of age to go on assignments alone, she takes her first big assignment. It has the ability to change every aspect of her life and even makes her question her beliefs: one of which being that love does not exist. Not only does this assignment make her re-evaluate everything she's ever known, the vampires her family has taught her to avoid at all costs somehow manage to become her biggest threat. Their only two purposes are to find the right time to strike and kill the very thing that threatens their way of life: her. All the while battling real-life demons... she struggles with her own.
