(Story contains blood, violence and, Trama)

There once was a girl named Hannah, she was just a normal girl. Most people love to take advantage of her. She was so gullible but had the biggest heart. Everyone found her gullible because she would get scared out of nowhere or would just do other kids' schoolwork. But little did she know her luck was going to change. Because a new boy came to school and girls were wanting him badly. Hannah was seeing everyone gather around in one area crowding to see the new guy. Hannah tried her best to get through but there were too many people. So, she gave in and ignored it as always having to be left out. That is until she was sitting at lunch one day and saw the guy she was amazed of how beautiful and handsome he was. She wanted his number but was scared because she had been in previous relationships. So, she tried to ignore the feelings she was having and went with her day. She constantly walked back and forth trying to get him off her mind. But she just couldn’t so there was only one thing to do. It was to go up to him and tell him the truth. Even tho it might hurt when she gets rejected, she Know's she had her tried best. Hey, I'm Hannah and I think you're really cute Hannah said in a very blushing manner. Oh, thanks for the compliment and um I don’t know you, but we can start off as friends if you want, the boy told her. I would really like to actually thank you Hannah thanked him for not thinking she was weird. So, the two went off as friends and actually pulled it off. Hannah found out that his name was Zak and that he really wasn’t really that social. He wasn’t a big people person. Which Hannah was alright with, she had wondered if she had finally found someone that loved her. But she looked at Zak and realized that fangs when he smiled but it didn’t scare her, she didn’t mind. She wondered if he was a vampire tho because just recently, she was warned that someone at her school was not human. She would promise to keep it a secret for Christ's sake she wouldn’t mind if he turned her into a vampire. It would probley hurt at first, but she would brush it off. Why do you have such sharp K-9 teeth that look like vampire fangs Hannah asked. She thought she was going to lose a friend after that question, but Zak came clean and told her the truth. I’m a vampire as you can probley tell, Zak replied. Zak goes on to explain how he ended up like this and how he wishes he was just normal. Wow I I'm sorry I asked I will never or at least try to never say something that will make you uncomfortable again Hannah promised. Zak laughed. Most people say that and then it’s back to hiding alone in the dark foggy woods, Zak told her. Hannah thought of something, but she was scared to ask the question. Well, you're not going to be alone, you can bite me, and we can run off to the foggy woods together, Hannah recommended. Zak looked at her like she was crazy, there was no way he was going to bite his best friend. Hannah didn’t want to go back to being alone and shoved around like she used to be. I’m not doing that to you Hannah you mean way too much to me and I don’t want people thinking I'm a horrible person Zak told her. Hannah realized he had a good point plus there would be bruising from the bite. I’ll put makeup on the bruise then no one will notice that you bit me Hannah said desperately. Zak did see that she was desperate, and he could use someone of his own kind, so he agreed. But they couldn’t do it at the location they were at, they had to go somewhere private. So how bad is this going to hurt Hannah asked. Think about it as two thick needles going through your neck. Hannah didn’t find that helpful. Now after this you are going to feel dizzy so make sure to put pressure on your neck until the bleeding stops, Zak told her. They did it on the count of 3 and it was misery for her, but she told herself it would be worth it in the end. And it was but she did get extremely dizzy which Zak did warn her about. But obviously, like always, Hannah is not the kind of person who likes to listen. The next day Hannah was feeling a bit better even tho she just got bit on the neck by her boyfriend. Hey Zak, where are you Hannah asked out loud. Zak appears out of nowhere. AHH, you scared me Hannah yelped. Sorry honey Zak replied. It’s alright, I know you didn’t mean it Hannah said in a joyful voice. Let’s go out for breakfast, that would be a nice outing, don’t you think Zak mentioned. Hannah agreed and they went out to grab something to eat. Zak wanted to teach Hannah how to turn into a bat that night. So he asked her she was a little worried at first but then she tried it. She was having the time of her life flying around with Zak, she never thought this could be fun, but it was a little scary too. When they got home, she asked her husband what if they tried to start a family. Zak found that not a bad idea considering they have been together for a while. So, they tried for a whole week and finally Hannah was pregnant. The only problem was they didn’t know if the baby was going to come out as a vampire or a human. But there was only one way to find out. And that was to have a baby. When Hannah remembered she had to wait 9 months she was upset but she should have seen this coming. (9 months later) Hannah finally had the baby and if was a beautiful baby girl and she definitely came out as a vampire. Zak and Hannah were in love with her.
