Agness always felt like something wasn’t right with her life. Everything seemed normal on the outside—she went to school, had friends, and lived with her parents, who were both scientists. But deep down, she felt different, like she didn’t belong. Then, things started to change in ways she couldn’t explain. It began with strange dreams. Every night, she saw a man with glowing eyes standing in the shadows, watching her. The dreams felt so real that they scared her. Soon, her body began to change too. Agness noticed her senses were sharper than before. She could hear things from far away, smell things no one else noticed, and see details others missed. She even felt stronger and faster, like her body was becoming something else. At first, she thought it was just stress or being tired, but the changes didn’t stop. It wasn’t normal, and it made her feel even more out of place. Her parents started acting weird, too. They became more protective and secretive, whispering about things when they thought she couldn’t hear. One night, Agness overheard her dad talking to her mom about her DNA. He sounded nervous and mentioned something about it being “different.” That was when Agness decided she had to know the truth. Late at night, she sneaked into her dad’s lab to see what they were hiding. What she found shocked her. Her dad had research papers and files about her DNA. Her blood wasn’t normal—it was special. It was connected to something ancient. Agness learned that her DNA carried the gene of the first vampire. Her parents had been studying her for years without telling her. Her bloodline wasn’t like anyone else’s, and now, something inside her had “awakened.” Confused and scared, Agness needed to clear her head. She got in her car and drove, but it was storming, and the roads were wet. Her car slid off the road and crashed into a tree. When she opened her eyes, she was lying on the ground. Then, she saw him—the man from her dreams. He was standing in the rain, watching her with those glowing eyes. She wanted to speak, but before she could, he disappeared into the darkness. When Agness woke up, she was back in her dad’s lab. She had so many questions, and this time, her parents finally told her the truth. Her DNA was unique, connected to vampires through her ancestors. The gene had been dormant for generations, but now it had activated in her. That was why her senses were changing, why she felt different, and why strange things were happening. Her awakening wasn’t just random. It had drawn the attention of others—dangerous people who wanted her blood for their own reasons. Her parents warned her that she was in danger now. The man from her dreams wasn’t just her imagination. He was real, and he had been watching her for a long time. He said he wanted to help, but Agness didn’t trust him. He seemed cold, and she didn’t know if he was an ally or a threat. The man wasn’t the only one watching her. There was an even older, more powerful vampire who had plans for her blood. Her awakening had started something big, and she was at the center of it. Agness didn’t want any part of this vampire world, but she couldn’t avoid it anymore. Her powers were growing stronger, and so was the danger around her. Agness had to decide who to trust. Could she trust her parents, even though they lied to her for years? Could she trust the man with glowing eyes, or was he only using her? Most of all, could she trust herself as her powers kept growing? She didn’t know what to do, but she had to make a choice. Agness knew her life would never go back to normal. The world of vampires was real, and it was coming for her. She had to decide if she would fight, run, or embrace the darkness inside her. Whatever she chose, her life was forever changed.
