Ophelia Murdock has a normal life. Living in a quiet small town, she spends her days wandering the woods with her close-knit group of friends, embracing her whimsical outlook on life. But after a party is crashed by the town's jocks, everything changes. She wakes the next morning covered in dirt with no memory of how she got home. Soon after, the boy she fought with that night begins acting strangely, insisting something happened that no one else can remember. Then the story shifts to his perspective. As he pieces together the events of that night, he realizes he and the mysterious girl are the only people who remember the party ever happened. Even more disturbing, he remembers that the house she lives in sat abandoned for years-until only a few months ago. Yet everyone else insists she's lived there since the day she was born. The deeper he investigates, the more reality begins to unravel, especially when he starts seeing her everywhere... in places she couldn't possibly be. Some memories refuse to stay buried. And some people were never supposed to exist.

The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race. In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made a consecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive just as they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional blood collections, or so they thought In reality, we were all under their control. Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Each castle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carried a Lord. The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked it or not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyone was in order and no one stepped out of line. If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor. The poorest lives held a much worse fate. The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets. Pets were the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collars around their necks. They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for the dreadful day that they'll be bought. They were treated like animals, trained into what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady. I was born into this world. Born into this world full of blood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones. Was. It all ended for me when I was 12, when I was taken away from the last bit of hope and family that I had left. Ever since then, I've lived in a cage, just rotting away, waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his. This is my life. I am a pet. ~~~ Cover by: @mshacake
