A young girl fell into the frozen pond an accidental occurrence which led her there in the first place as she pleaded for her life fighting the bitter coldness of the frozen pond keeping herself a float by swimming and swimming no one was there, a young guy seemed little older than the young girl was passing along and he noticed her he was hesitant at first but then he held out his hand to her and saved her, she was so ice cold and shivering the guy gave her his jacket and lifted her up. The young girl knew the boy from school. He is older than her by a few years. She began to secretly have a crush on this guy after this very encounter. But her savior was very strange and very aloof towards anyone, he was an orphan he grew up in the nearby orphanage by her home.The town they lived in only had a population of 100. So for the most part everyone in town knew one another very closely by their first names.

Many years have passed and the young girl was no longer a young girl anymore but a young woman now. She had moved away from the small town when she started school at a big university and then continued with her career after she graduated and never looked back. Her parents remained in the small town because it was all they knew and they did not like change. The now beautiful young woman decided to take a much needed vacation because she had worked so hard at being successful for so many years that she was finally set with her life. She decided for her vacation she went back home to spend time with her parents, you see she never spent the time at parties, her family no one she kept to herself because she was determined. It was more like a reunion to see her parents because she hadn’t seen them since the day she left for college.

They were so overjoyed to see their only child. After she visited with her parents and settled in, she decided to go out on a night stroll walk through the forest nearby. It was a very cold night and she felt the urge to get out for some fresh air, she was unable to do so in the big city where she resided for over 5 years. Her night walk led her to the very same pond where she almost lost her life and she noticed a guy there who looked familiar to her. She approached him and said “Hello” to him, he looked at her and both of their eyes locked. She had a sudden flashback of when she fell into the frozen pond all those years ago, as a young girl. Then she opened her eyes and yelled “It’s you, it’s you!” over and over again. He didn’t say anything but then storms off as fast as possible, when she realizes that her hero has not aged since they last saw each other his appearance and clothing of course changed but he still looks the same as he did back then. She was saddened because she wanted to talk to him. She had so many questions but when she went after him, he disappeared into the darkness. She searched and searched but there was no sign of him.

The next day she spent the whole day with her parents tending to the chores helping with taking care of her parents farm animals there: pigs, chickens, horses, etc. She also tended to the garden. This was her parents' business raising farm animals and growing fruits and vegetables in their garden. After an eventful productive day, this helped her take her mind off the guy who once saved her.

Back at home her mom was in the kitchen cooking dinner while her and her dad were setting up the table.They set up an extra plate set for a guest. She became curious as to who was joining them for dinner but she just went along with it. And the next thing you know the doorbell is ringing her parents asked her to open the door.

Low and behold there he was her hero. Both of them said their hello’s very shyly. Her mom and dad had addressed him as Octavio, they told him to come on in, it seemed her parents were very acquainted with him so she began to become even more curious. They all sat down and had dinner. Her parents Rob and Ang introduced her to Octavio, they said “Octav this is our daughter, Corlina.” They both shook hands and said to each other it’s very nice to meet one another. After dinner Octavio decides to stay over for a little while longer. So they both met each other outside to talk. Corlina of course starts with all of her questions. Octavio is not answering her, he stares off into the distance like he is in a trance. He is very mysterious. He always wears an all black hoodie and black jeans like he’s gothic but something more sinister than this. When Corlina notices him stuck she walks closer and touches him, to her he feels ice cold he jumps up and flinches and startles her. He is so strange he instantly changes and becomes more distant and says “Corlina, all I will say is this, you do not want to get into my world for if you did, you will surely perish.” He then walks away into the darkness disappearing into the night. Corlina becomes more upset and curious. If you don’t want me in your world then why become close to my parents and stop at the one place we met so long ago. She obsessively thought about what he said over and over again,”surely perish.” She doesn't understand why. She tries to put all the pieces together. This just did not in fact turn her down, it actually turned her on wanting to know more about him. She goes to her parents asking them more about him they mention that he lives in town and has been working for them only at night time because he is busy during the day. Then she asked them where he lives. Her parents asked her if she remembered the orphanage, she then pictured in her mind the huge building that looked like a creepy old mansion that was on a high hill by itself. Rob and Ang said that he resides there; he bought the old orphanage and turned it into his home. He kept the old fashion style.

Corlina went on an investigation of her own because there were too many suspicions about Octavio that she wanted to know more of. She even went into his home directly, the old orphanage she had never stepped foot into, it was so creepy an old dark mansion on this high hill. I swear the thunder and lightning hits only this mansion at night time just like in the old classic horror movies it looks so crazy even during the day. Corlina walked up the stairs to the front doors knocked but there was no answer, she went to try one more time then the doors suddenly creaked open on their own as if it was alive. She proceeded and called out for Octavio but all she can hear was the echo of her own voice when she approached the foyer where it was the center staircase with 2 double doors in the middle and 2 entries of stairs leading up to different directions of the house as Corlina kept trying to find Octavio but found no trace of him so she walked along one of the stairwells and wound up with nothing because each door was locked so she walked down some other set of stairs leading down to the basement it was the most creepiest room in the whole house the stairs were leading down, she noticed a light and it drew her closer to the bottom there is a very dim light and when she finally became close enough she can see a huge display of candles, it seemed like a twist of a mausoleum and wine cellar and brick walls surrounding the front center wall and dark burgundy paint covering the rest of the walls, the style of the furniture was old victorian goth, then she saw a huge portrait paintings of Octavio and others who seemed as if they are related to him because they have a similar facial resemblance. Then when turning to the furthest wall behind a gigantic blood red thick drape Corlina saw a partial piece of something big because it was kept away from everything else so she pulled back the drape.

To Corlina’s shocking surprise was a huge portrait and tombstone of Octavio’s…all memories from her first encounter till now, and it all makes sense that he is a paranormal creature or zombie. The room starts to spin and she becomes in a daze. She is about to faint and collapse he appears in front of her, her eyes begin to close.

She wakes up in her bedroom the next day wearing her nightgown. She does not remember ever going home, only walking in Octavio’s home searching for him then she remembers the truth about him. Corlina gets up but she cannot stand. She falls back down onto her bed then she feels a horrible headache like she was struck upside her head. Her mother walks into her room checking on her and asks her how she is feeling. Corlina asks her mom what happened and she tells her that Octavio saw her outside his home on the floor so he picked her up and brought her home right away. Corlina asks her mom if he went home or is he still there. Ang tells her that he is waiting outside with her dad, because he is so worried about you that he wants to make sure that you wake up and you are okay. With that said, Ang runs out to both her husband and Octav and tells them that Corlina is awake; they both praise her and are thankful that she is ok.

Octav walks into Corlina’s room shutting the door slowly behind him, he is so concerned he then admits everything to her, by starting with the portrait and tombstone you have seen of me is true. He tells her that he is a vampire. He has been transformed back in the 1800s he watched all of his family and friends die off from a distance, he had to fake his own death back then when he realized that he would not be able to live amongst them when he was transformed all those years ago. At first he went after criminals and fed off them because he thought he was helping society by getting rid of them. Then he decided to feed off the blood of animals rather than humans. Octav says “I vowed to live in the shadows until I met you, I cannot bear to part from you Corlina, you are the one that I am destined to be with. I have tried to keep my distance from you but I cannot fight my feelings for you any longer, do you feel the same way?”She replies “After all my suspicions I am so happy to finally understand you Octavio. I have been longing to be with you and no one else all these years from the very first time you had saved my life. I cannot get you out of my head.” So there you have it another teen love story. The young girl now turned young woman falls for the mysterious vampire who was already secretly in love with her but tried to protect her from himself. None of them knew that this young woman, his now soulmate, lover is in fact a hybrid of vampire and human.
