"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 sighed when she got to the gym. Meredith and some others were already there. She made it a point of duty to not only avoid them, but also someone else. Coach Hammond hadn't arrived yet. She dropped her bag and sat down at another side of the bleachers. She made sure to keep her distance from the others, then plugged in her ear buds and scrolled through her phone looking for a suitable song. 


"Hey, Ariana." The girl looked up with a frown which faded when she noticed that it was Carrie. 


"Hey…" Ariana replied dryly wondering why the girl was there in the first place. 


"Sorry if I'm intruding on your personal space, but I just couldn't help but notice that you were all by yourself," Carrie said. She sounded somewhat concerned. 


Ariana shrugged. "Yeah, I just want to be left alone for now. But thank you for asking," she said. 


Carrie nodded. "See you on the pitch then," she said and left.
