"I thought about it and came to the conclusion that you need my help." 

"I need nothing from you," she said through clenched teeth, and pushed him out of the way. 

Ariana Mann, a part Vampire, born into a powerful Vampire-Otsukii family, struggles with her power and bloodlust, a side effect of having an alternate personality. As a means to subdue her powers so as not to cause harm to anyone, she willingly lets herself be bullied. Well, not until her Knight in shining armor comes along; or so, she thought. 

Brandon Daniels has never in his life met someone as spineless and weak as Ariana. Her inability to stand up for herself baffles him, but that isn't the only thing about her that does. He isn't sure what draws him to her: her stupidity, timidity or the unknown power she thinks she hides so well. 

She seems hopeless, but giving up on her is out of the question until he finds out why he is so drawn to her. With anger and despair, a dark flame is born within her that only he can tame, but can he save someone who doesn't want to be saved?

Taming The Ruthless Hybrid

Ariana's lungs almost gave out. 'It's been a long time since I had cause to run,' she thought to herself. She enjoyed the feeling it gave her. She felt…free. 


Her track was right beside Meredith's…and Brandon's. She was between the two of them. To her utmost happiness, Brandon was paying no attention to her. He was completely focused on his task. The same couldn't be said for Meredith. She constantly tried to shove the other girl out of the game. "Oh no you don't," Ariana said as she dodged another one of Meredith's shoves. 


There it is, the finish line is just before you, she heard Elsy say. 


For some reason unknown to her, hearing her alternate's voice was like a fuel to her. Her legs picked up speed leaving the other four athletes in the dust. She raised her arms when she arrived at the finish line.
