Well, here goes nothing... Are you ready to dive into a sapphic, urban fantasy with hot, badass women hunters and even hotter vampires? There's only one true answer here: yes.

This story actually originated on ONC 2024, but has been transformed into a completely different version. I've been working on it during the Bootcamp Mentorship program on Wattpad earlier this summer. Unfortunately, I'll most likely put it on hold after just a few chapters, but the main thing for me is to have it out there finally. And see if people will like it, as this is my first main fantasy story.

Of course, this story has been inspired mainly by First Kill, the canceled vampire series on Netflix. I'm going to do what they failed to do: actually finish the story, hehe. Other movies I've been inspired by include the Underworld and Blade film series.

Tropes include enemies-to-lovers, forbidden romance, forced proximity, rivals-to-lovers, and love triangle.

Trigger Warnings include: gore, violence, mentions of attempted suicide, explicit sexual scenes, mentions of parental abuse(this story does not contain romanticization of abuse or anything of the sort. Please do not assume that. Thanks.)

As always, every triggering warning will be placed in their respective chapters.

And last but not least, I'd like to thank a few people who helped with this story behind the scenes :')

First and foremost, thank you ainsleyjames for being my mentor for 6 weeks during the BCM and continuing to help me out since then time to time. I've learned so much about how to write an immediate first chapter, use worksheets to create outlines for not just one season, but three seasons, etc., and I'll forever be grateful that you chose me to be your mentee.

And I want to thank both -DeeIsDead-and kae-ruby for reading and providing feedback behind the scenes. Spending your time on my little story means the world to me, and you're both awesome, incredible friends that I'm glad to have met. Love you.

Naomi Rayne
(no, I have not watched Vampire Diaries yet but Nina Dobrev is just perfect for Naomi)

Thana Blade

Blurb

After her brother's death, Naomi Rayne's one goal in life is to become the next worthy heir of a long legacy of vampire hunters. But when she crosses paths with her first Elite vampire, Morana, her years of hate begin to waver when the vampire doesn't ruthlessly kill her as they're supposed to.

Naomi has been taught that ALL vampires, including the Elites, are no more than emotionless bloodsuckers. So why did this vamp just let her go? Armed with questions and rising suspicions about everything she's been taught, she's desperate enough to work with Morana to find out the truth.

But things become complicated when Naomi begins to develop feelings for Morana, a bloodsucker she's been raised to hunt down. As they protect each other from both vampire hunters and vampires alike, their forbidden love soon forces them to make difficult choices, especially when Thana, Naomi's ex-best-friend turned rival, discovers their relationship.

Can two sworn enemies put aside their differences despite their hate for the other's kind? Or will one of them betray the other as the stakes rise higher every day?
