There once was a happy family that lived in the distant country, far off from most people. There were four members; a mother, a father, a sister, and a brother. The father was a great inventor and studied many unusual subjects such as the un-dead and life after death, bringing back the dead, and communicating with them. Of the few people that knew him thought he was crazy and believed his studies to be a waste of time. The father's name was Rodger and his family always supported him and showed him much respect.
The mother was a writer, as she had been for many years. The mother's name was Helen. The two children were Alex and Caleb. Alex and Caleb loved their parents and their professions, especially Rodger's studies. One of his main subjects were vampires; his studies talked about hunting them, killing them, and even transforming them back to human with some strange kind of "cure". Many had rumored about the "cure of a vampire" but none had ever succeeded in creating it until Rodger came along. Alex and Caleb, when not in school, loved to train to protect themselves from the supernatural and hunt them too. Though many of the other kids tried to avoid them, Alex and Caleb still had each other and each defended the other when needed. Alex was sixteen at the time and Caleb was twelve.
One rainy and miserable day when Helen was driving home from the grocery store, her car slid off the road and crashed in a nearby tree. Unfortunately, she did not survive, and that was the beginning of the end of the happy family.
After Helen's death, Rodger put all his other studies behind and focused on bringing back the dead. He spent most of his time locked up in his laboratory/study. Sometimes he would go through an entire day only in that room, and only come out to go to the bathroom and get food to bring back in there. Caleb and Alex became grew more and more distant from their father with every passing day.
One dark, lonely night, an unexpected guest came in the house, or in other words an intruder. It was a beautiful man, with huge muscles and sinister red eyes that grew blacker every second. He was a vampire, and he was thirsty. The vampire had been traveling many miles when he had heard the sound of glass breaking and headed for that direction. Rodger had been the one who had broken the glass, while experimenting. The vampire came to him and drained the blood from his body before Rodger could do anything. Though the vampire had eaten (or drank) he was still not satisfied. So he searched the house for his next victim.
Alex and Caleb had opened the door to the study to find out what the crash had been from when they saw their father die. They quickly gathered their vampire hunting gear and ran outside. Once the vampire realized where they were, he followed them. The vampire grabbed Alex and bit her before she could react, but then Caleb used a special elixir to ward off the vampire for a couple of hours, though it helped greatly, it was too late. Alex was on her way to becoming a vampire. Caleb grabbed a bag of supplies and his father's vampire research fled with his sister.
As for Alex's transformation, something unexplainable happened. Right in the middle it stopped. I guess in a way she was a half-vampire. Half as strong, half as fast, half as beautiful, etc. Also her eyes became forever purple, in between her original blue and the blood red of an evil vampire. She had fangs. In the first half of a vampire transformation fangs start to grow, then in the second half they grow back in, but Alex never experienced the second half. Once the transformation ended she ran away from Caleb afraid she might try to hurt him and distanced herself from him but always protected him like the old days.
Caleb ran for two years, and on his journey he searched for the cure. His father had discovered it, but neither Caleb nor Alex could find the ingredients or where to find it. All that they knew was there was one. After two years the vampire that had killed Rodger hunted Caleb, never stopping. For Caleb was an eye-witness of a vampire and that just could not be. There was also the matter of revenge; Caleb had lost the vampire his dessert. Finally, one quiet night, in a dark alley, the vampire got Caleb. Alex tried to stop him but she was not fast or strong enough to take him, but she did stop the vampire from killing her brother. Now they shared the same fate.
