Vampires, and hell-hounds, and misfits, oh my! Isis is a typical teenager...until she's not. When her boyfriend turns out to be a vampire, and an ill-attempted bite on the neck turns her only mostly dead, Isis must navigate a world she never imagined existed...one chock full of supernatural creatures, a gargoyle priest, and a half-fairy who hates her on sight. Add to that a hell-hound whose grasp of the English language is greater than any schoolteacher, and she's got her undead hands full. Determined to hunt down her now ex-boyfriend, and turn human again, Isis ultimately has to decide if  being fully alive really is all that and a bag of chips.

"Before Dawn" by WriteOne71
34 parts Complete
Sixteen-year-old Dawn Morningside isn't quite ready to hunt just yet according to her overprotective father. Dawn aims to prove him wrong and make her long-dead mother proud in the process. Unbeknownst to her father, Dawn gears up with her two Sig Sauer .45s and her blessed twin short-swords. A maniacal half-human half-imp was her father's next target which she decides to take on in secret. She had expected it to be easy work for her but she was super-wrong! To her embarrassment, her father finds her out and manages to rescue her from the imp-man's pummeling. She gets the proverbial butt-chewing and thinks her failure is over until the imp-man kidnaps her boyfriend and uses him as bait to lure her in--but why? Dawn learns that the imp-man serves a powerful demon who wants to take her soul, and that her father is a direct link to it all. Her father is very elusive about his involvement, and Dawn is unsure if she can rescue her boyfriend let alone save herself. To make matters worse, a relentless faction of ghouls known as The Brood are in cahoots with the imp-man and demon. As prideful as ever, Dawn refuses to ask her father for help because she can no longer trust him. Instead, she summons a pesky hellhound and strikes a dangerous deal with the malevolent beast in which she could end up as dog-chow if she's unable to uphold her end of the bargain. As Dawn takes matters into her own hands, she eventually unveils her father's alignment with the imp-man and the demon. She's in for a shock when she discovers the mystery behind her father's pact with them that had ultimately led to her mother's death--and how it all happened before Dawn.

A monster hides in plain sight, feeding off of humanity while yearning to return to it. He was to have been an immortal undead, to have power and strength like he'd never known in mortal life. The Vampyrs lied. They took his life, but when he awoke he was not a Vampyr. He was something else, a creature so foul they abandoned him to die alone in a crypt deep underground. Kaleb survived by skulking in the shadows and preying on the dregs of society. Until now. In one moment of carelessness, a young woman witnesses Kaleb's atrocities. Unable to kill her, Kaleb takes the girl hostage, and that's when his life begins to crumble around him. When the local ruling Vampyr clan realizes what is living in their midst, they come in force to destroy Kaleb and wipe every last trace of his existence from the face of the earth.
