This girl had everything she wanted in life; a good school, great friends she could count on to help her out and a loving family. That is until one day, the very day that changed everything for her, she found herself at the wrong place at the wrong time and ever since that day nothing has ever been the same since.

One night Elizabeth Smith (Played by Natalie Mulligan), who was once an ordinary 16 year old girl, had to stay at her school (St Mary’s High School) late one night. As she was walking along the empty school corridor, she hears something that startles her, as she opens a nearby classroom door she sees Timothy Edwards (Played by Bradley T), who was a boy she is in love with and she eventually gets the biggest shock of her life!

What Elizabeth saw in that classroom that day changes her entire life and it effects everyone around her and those who care for her which makes her the only one that can save them.

When Elizabeth runs out of the classroom she tries to find the safest place in the whole school which was up in the loft of the other side of the school building.

While she is in there she finds herself trying to keep alive by finding objects in the loft which would help her go to the underground library where no student should ever go unless there was a serious emergency. However if a student goes there they must give up something valuable.

As Elizabeth looks for objects she has flashbacks of when she thought the school was normal and how there were no secretes. During the flashbacks Elizabeth thought of Timothy a lot and how they were madly in love with each other and how they used to go on dates often. Then suddenly she thinks of the classroom and realises that Timothy is a vampire.

Then she finds all the objects she needs as well as a map of the school ventilation system.

Elizabeth goes through the ventilation system and starts making her journey towards the underground library.

While Elizabeth is on her journey Timothy has sent all his followers to find her at the same time we have a flashback of his past which shows he is the crown prince of the vampires.

Elizabeth eventually makes her way down to the underground library finding what she gives away was very unexpected.  This was because to find out how to get her life back to normal and to save everyone, she had to give up her life force.   However, it was a tough decision for her because if she wanted everything to be normal, Timothy would have lose out being the prince of vampires and remember who he used to be. 

In the end she decides to turn into a vampire herself because her love for Timothy was too great; she didn’t want him to lose his titled position as a prince.  Her love was strong enough (or so she thought) to get her through this and she could be with her love.
