About me!

Scarlet longed to be loved by her dad. After all, even though she was a vampire she was still his daughter. Hugo and Victoria’s marriage broke down. By scarlet's 14th birthday her dad had already filed for divorce and moved out of the family home. Poor Scarlet was broken. Left to pick up the pieces of her mothers failed marriage, she constantly blamed herself. 

By the time Scarlet was 16 her mother had taken ill. She had a lot of growing up to do and quickly. Victoria was diagnosed with a rare disease. There was no cure. Day by day Scarlet cared for her mother. Throwing what was left of her teenage years away, she stayed by her mothers bedside attending to her every need. 

The illness took charge very quickly. Within 6 months Scarlet barley recognised her own mother, She was frail and lifeless as she laid in bed. Her Skin was like tissue paper and her eyes withdrawn and heavy. That night Scarlet laid besides her mother. Holding her tight, she talked about all the beautiful happy memories she had growing up. Picnics in the park, walks along the beach, hiking holidays in the mountains. As tears filled her eyes she kissed her mother on the head. “sweet dreams mum” she said as she tucked her in for the night. She knew the inevitable was coming, and it was coming quick. 

The next morning Scarlet walked into her mothers room but something just didn't seem right. A lump suddenly stuck in her throat. Tears fell down her cheeks like a cascading waterfall, dripping silently from her face. Victoria had gone. The body of what once was her mother was still laid there, tucked up in the exact same position she left her in the night before. The only person that loved her enough to stick around was gone. 

Scarlet felt sick. She knew she could have changed her. she longed for her mother to be able to live the eternal life that she deserved. Now i hear you asking. “Well why didn’t she turn her?”  So let me explain. 

Victoria was ill a long time before her diagnosis. She went to many medical professions but know one could figure it out. By the time they had a diagnosis and a plan in place it was too late. Scarlet spent many hours looking for a way to save her mum. Grasping at any little thing that could have helped. She wanted to change her, wanted to make her better.

Unfortunately that’s not how it works. When you are bitten you become immortal but you are still the same person. Her illness wouldn't have been cured and she would have been living forever in the pain that she was in when turned. Scarlet had to be cruel to be kind. 

Why is Scarlet going it alone? What happened to make her leave her loving family behind. Well that’s just it. Scarlet’s dad Hugo was not the maternal type. She woke up every morning. Scared, upset and confused. Wondering what it was that made her own father, the man who should protect you. The man who should guide you into adult hood, hate her so much. 

Well the truth is Scarlet isn’t like any other girl or child for that matter. Scarlet was born a Vampire. If her dad married a vampire then obviously a child they conceived together had the ability to be a vampire too right? 

Scarlet’s father belonged to a secret cult. A cult who’s main purpose in life was to eliminate the vampire race. Now you may think this is a beautiful Romeo and Juliet style story but it is far from.  When her parents met, Scarlet’s mother Victoria believed she was just like any other human. She had no reason to think any different. Her parents were Human, Her grandparents were human. She didn’t have fangs and the thought of blood turned her stomach. How could she possibly be anything other than human. 

Everything was perfect at first. Scarlet was born and was loved and adored by everyone. She was a perfectly healthy normal baby girl. or so it seemed. 

As the years went by scarlet matured from a baby to a toddler to a child. In a beautiful home showered by love. Then came her 13th Birthday. What should have been an amazing day turned out to be a day she would never forget. 

She awoke to a burning sensation in her throat. She tried a glass of water, milk, juice but nothing would take the sensation away. She went to brush her teeth and as she smiled at herself in the mirror she noticed something different. Fangs! 

She rushed down stairs sobbing while trying to catch her breath. She showed her mother who was shell shocked. She didn’t know what to say. But she knew that Hugo could not find out. Not yet. 

That night Victoria sat down at her computer and spent hours scouring the internet for some answers. How could Scarlet be a vampire? She was born into a family from 2 humans. Surly its impossible. After hours of research she stumbled across something life changing. Victoria was the great grand daughter of the Vampire lord. It seemed through out many generations of human and vampire breeding, the vampire gene was near on non existent. It had skipped many generations of the family. Scarlet was the only vampire born in over 100 years.
