Falling to Ash

Shelter Island

Hannah, a fifteen year old, has been living along with her mother on Shelter Island for the past three year, ever since her parents separated. Her life seems pretty simple until she encounters a young boy around her age in her room, who calls himself a vampire. He however seems harmless enough, and looks rather pensive and pained. She later finds out that he's been hiding in her room from another kind of vampire, one that feeds on other vampires instead of animals and humans, and needs her blood so that he can gain strength to escape it in order to survive. The reason he could hide in her particular house is because it was earlier a foster home which he was a part of. Will she help him escape? The last part of this short story lets us know that his name is Dylan Ward, a character from the Blue Blood series.
