Prologue
There I stood, outside a beautiful old castle with a huge wooden front door and windows with brass shutters to match. My castle. The intricate brickwork was eye catching but the area surrounding the castle was amazing, the lush green grass, the tall oak trees and the rising and falling of the hills. This, well it is every girls dream. To have a place like this, a castle built for them. Of course I'm not included in that stereotype.
How did I come to own a castle. Well when you've lived for three hundred years it just sort of happens. I'm Astrid, a half human half vampire hybrid. I'm nineteen, when I was fully changed I was sixteen the aging process for a hybrid is, slowed down to say the least. There are many good things about being a hybrid but also bad things. One of the latter, well were being hunted, night and day. By were I mean me and the four others like me. The only people I have. To me there family, although none of us are blood related.
Each of us me, the two other girls Aurelia and Alexia and the two boys Conan and Cyrus were each taken from our families when we were born and experimented on. Its weird but we were all born on the same day at exactly the same time. Some of you may say it was fate. Us, well we believe it to be something different. But that was a long time ago and we've been on the run since.
Being a hybrid does have its uses. We get all the good human and vampire parts. So in laymen's terms were "perfect". Were strong, fast and have supersensitive eyesight, hearing and smell and that's just naming a few. All of these don't seem to help us when it comes to Hunters. They are hybrids too, the only difference between them and us is we know what kind of hybrid we are, they don't.
Please review, tell me what i need to improve any ideas etc.
