Answer and Explanation:
You can use some of the following ideas:
- Plot: The story is set in the future. Vampires are now being hunted down by a special army created solely to kill them. Humans have developed weapons capable of easily murdering vampires. One soldier falls into a trap but one vampire finds and rescues him before the others can kill him. The vampire takes care of him, the two end up falling in love, and now they are both hunted by not only the army but also by the other vampires.
- Characters:
- Chris, the soldier. Brave and a bit reckless. His mother was killed by a vampire when he was a child, which is why he now hunts them. Alana's kindness toward him deeply confuses him.
- Alana, the vampire, Chris's love interest. Used to be a human but was turned when the vampires tried to increase their numbers to fight against the humans. Kind-hearted, clever, courageous.
- Todd, Eric, Lena, and Sylvia, Chris's friends who join the mission to rescue him. Have to make the difficult decision of either letting their friend go or killing him. Some are more determined to do what is right for the human species, others are more likely to follow their hearts.
- Vania, leader of the group of vampires to which Alana belongs. Strong and fierce, tries to kill Alana once she finds out she has rescued a human.
