21 (looks about the age of 5) year old Max POV:
"Hey Daddy?" I asked my dad "Where's mummy? I haven't seen her in a long time!"
"Well...you see, um...er...she..." my dad stuttered with a sad look.
"She what daddy? She on vacation?" I asked
"No sweetie" my dad said, picking me up in his arms, cradling me "she...she, *sigh* your mother died, humans killed her."
Just then, my world came crashing down. I cried and cried for days, flashbacks and memories filled my mind of my mum singing to me, caring for me, doing my hair, forcing me into a little gown, chasing me around the palace trying to put a little bit of make up on me.
From then on, I swore that I would never trust or go anywhere near a human!

5 year old Fang POV
"Mummy, daddy, I'm back from school! I'm ready for training!" I yelled running into the house after saying thank you to my uncle for dropping me off.
Oh, by the way, my dad is a Vampire hunter and tells me stories about how real and bad they are. He trains me to protect myself and kill them but I don't want to kill anybody.
"Mum? Dad?" I slowly stopped and looked around the living room where they would usually wait for me and tell me another story before training.
"Honey," my mum said walking through the door, picking me up and sitting down, placing me on her lap. "You see, um...er, your father...he was...he was killed by Vampires" my mother burst into tears and so did I.
So many happy memories filled my mind and my world felt like it came to an end.
From then on, I swore to become the best Vampire hunter and kill every last one.

Now to the present 112 (17) year old Max POV
"What?!" I screamed at my dad "go to school with humans?! But dad I despise them, hate them! Ugh! There, there isn't a word out there that can describe how much I despise them!" I yelled
"But sweetie, pretending to be a human and learning all about them and their weaknesses would be excellent and a big advantage for us. Please honey, if not for me, then for your kingdom?" My dad smiled knowing how much I love our kingdom and knowing by saying that, that he won the argument.
"Ugh, fine!" I said and stormed off for a bite, don't worry, I hate human blood, yuck! I am more of an animal blood sucking girl (like that sounds better). I guess I'll go pack now. *sigh*
A day later,
Max POV:
"Max, wake up" my dad called. *groan* "Max! Get up!" my dad called again.
I heard footsteps and my door opening and then the curtain opening,
"Ahh! My eyes! It's blinding! Close it, close it, I'm dying!" I rolled out of my bed.
Okay, so, I'm being dramatic, I'm not actually dying because of the sun, I don't burn or sparkle like in most human books, movies or TV shows, but then again, 98.8% of the human population doesn't know we exist so we ignore the rumours. Us, real vampires, our eyes just burn in the sun and we could go blind so we wear specially designed sunglasses but at night we are stronger and faster compared to the day.
We also can eat food, like normal food, but we don't get full on that, you need at least a bag of blood a day. As for garlic, we can eat it and touch it, I think that is just one silly rumour and as for holy water, it does burn us but only a burn not a kill. The only way to kill us is a pointy, wooden stake through the heart and then fire to burn us afterwards, no fire, we can survive.
"Then get up and come down" my dad said walking out the door after closing the curtain.
I got changed into a black blouse, black jeans and... you guessed it, a pair of black converses. I don't care that I am a princess, everybody needs to wear casual. In case if you were wondering, I have brown eyes and dirty blond hair with sun streaks. My mum was a human turned vampire so that's where I got my light hair from.
Wait, oops, forgot to say but my name is Maximum Ride but call me Max, call me anything else and you will have a family reunion, in the hospital. Anyway...
I went down the elevator to the bottom floor.
"Hey dad" I called as I walked past him in the dinning room and sat across from him. "Deer, chicken, lamb or human blood, your highness?" Jeff the waiter asked me.
"First off, Jeff, you know I hate human blood, so you don't need to ask that. Secondly, please call me Max, not your highness or my lady or princess Max or anything like that, just Max. Lamb please." I told Jeff.
"Yes, ma'm-Max, Max" he stuttered and I just nodded.
"Here is all you need to know about...well, you" my dad said handing me pieces of paper.

"So I have to act like this?" I asked my dad
"You don't need to act, you are already like that." My dad said not looking up from the newspaper
"And Maxine, really? Really dad?"
"I figured that you wanted to keep the name Max but I could change it, how does Lissa sound?"
"I'm fine, very fine." I said quickly, hating the name (AN: no offence if your name is Lissa).
"Your Lamb Blood, Max" Jeff said, placing a tall cup with a straw in front of me. "Thank you Jeff" I said and started drinking. "See you in a couple of full moons, your-uh-Max"
That's how we vampires count months, full moons, and days are just moons. Since we usually stay in our homes at sun time (day time) because we aren't that strong during day, we don't count days, we just speak of the day as sun, sun time. The rest are just like how you would normally do it - years are just years, decades are just decades and so on.
"Bye, see you then" I said finishing my meal and saying goodbye to my father and the staff. After all the farewells, I hopped in the car and put the blinds on the windows. *sigh* I put my headphones on, prepared for the long drive.
So, you might be wondering where we live, but of course I won't say our exact location if there are any humans reading. You might think we live in Transylvania in Romania, but no, though we use to. A century ago, we were living in Transylvania as happy as we could be but then, those stupid werewolves, had to go out and accidentally get us exposed! Now we are living in the USA - not telling where.
4 hours later
"Thank you" I said to the driver putting on my sunglasses and stepping outside, looking at the 2 storey house that stood before me. It was a modern house with a fountain at the front and a pebble path leading to the front door.
*sigh* "Let's get this over, and done with" I said picking up my luggage and walking to the front door, pressing the door bell *ding dong*

Fang (Present, 17 year old) POV
"Okay, you have completed your combat training. You are ready to become a Vampire Hunter/Slayer, whatever you prefer." I said
"Yay! 4 years of combat training paid off! Watch out vampires, the Ig-master is coming for you! You know, the only time you say more than 5 words a day is when you talk about killing vampires." Iggy cheerfully happy danced.
I rolled my eyes.
That's James but he prefers Iggy, he is my best friend. I trained him to be a Vampire Hunter. He's never seen a vampire but I have killed hundreds.
"Okay, time to show you your weapons. This is a-"
"Is that a nerf gun super soaker painted black?" Iggy interrupted
"Well...yeah, but instead of water we put holy water in it. The holy water doesn't kill them but it burns them and makes them weaker, not weak but weaker. The time they stay back to recover - the very few seconds that they step back, you lunge at them - time is precious." I stated
"Okay, super soaker, soak, lunge, time is precious. Now what's next? A nerf bow and arrow? A nerf crossbow painted black? Ooh, a nerf-"
*ding dong*
"Quick, hide the weapons" I ordered Iggy.
Thank you so much for reading, hoped you liked it! I'll try and post often!
