Basically, i'm writing a book based on--wait for it--vampires.
But not fully. I'm getting a little tired of this 'Vampire mainia' thats sweeping everywhere at the moment.
And so i decided to create a whole new concept around it. I'm planning a series of books, probably three. It will be set in the present, and the past info below is only going to be referenced.
This first book will be called "Implode".

My story is basically about Parallel worlds; Earth being the weaker, the light element, whereas Ferctus (the parallel Earth) is full of strong beings, and society is stricter. Religion has been banned, and even though there are equal rights for everybody, the ruling class dominate.
Basically a portal opened between the worlds by an influx of energy, creating a gateway. Problem is, when the ferctonians explore, they discover the humans and become obsessed with them, because of our simple features and our vulnerability. A lot of ferctonians differ in looks.
But they (humans) are used for the wrong purposes--to feed on, as role models on how you should look (which elevates the more human looking individuals to a higher rank) and also to breed with, because they create 'pure' looking children that retain the stronger parents power.
But that is just the background, basically, seventy-six years ago, a woman called Kelsey Aldridge found a locket in her garden and when she opened it, took her to Ferctus. She was found by three ferctonians--Eran Durance, part vampire, part draconus. Augustus, a werewolf, and Vivienne, an estanthi. In order for Kelsey to get home, she has to find something that is lost inside of her. For her, it was love, and she falls in love with Augustus. But they are hunted down by a power hungry half vampire and half reality jumper called Victor, who wants the locket because the powers it contains fit into the chronicles of his underground reigion called the Indra Un; something similar to alchemy, where he belives that he can become a god through it.She has to go back to Earth as Augustus fights Victor, leaving him devastated.
In the present time, Kelsey had died and her great-niece Evelyn Parsons, who has just turned 18, has inherited everything.One week after moving into Kelsey's house, bored and confused by nightmares of a woman being hunted in a forest, she gets new neighbours to a derelict house opposite her--Eran, Augustus and Vivienne. They lie and say they are siblings, to fit in, but they do not look the same. Evelyn eventually finds out who they are after figuring out some clues Kelsey left, and confronts Eran. He tells her who they are, where they come from and the connection to her great aunt.
He tells her that the locket was originally supposed to ldestroy the portal, so they threw it in there, hoping to cancel the connection. But it did nothing, and when Kelsey came through, had to make a new one. They are made by Sydney, a rare type of ferctonian called a mimicker who can manipulate energy. She copied the energy of the portal and inflicted it onto the locket, along with a few more elements so it would close. When Kelsey left, they went after her and the locket she now wears, but Eran carried the other locket and the portal is closing. Victor and his wife, Lenore, part vampre and part courtan, followed on, but the stress it puts on the portal strips them of some of their energy, just so the portal will have enough power to put them through.
Now on Earth, they want the locket to go back to Ferctus, recharge, and then come back to Earth--because they have dicovered Alchemy, which fits into their religion Indra Un. And they are after hunting Evelyn for what they want, putting them all in a bad situation.

Eran, one month after Evelyn found out and completely infatuated with her, confirms their presence, and when they come for her, the only way to save her from torture is to open up the locket and go to Ferctus. Evelyn is outraged, and when she finds out that he did it for her, she feels sad. Eran is immortal and they shouldnt be together. She rejects his love unwillingly.
Which is a problem for Eran, as he needs to find himself. And in order to find himself, Evelyn must take down her guard. So they need to find sydney to see if she can take them back.
The rest of this story i will not delve into, but they eventually get back home--but with one major problem that i hope will string on into another couple of stories.
Basically, i have used the vampires as one of many breeds of ferctonians, the ruling class because they have the most simplistic features and power, but i have a few more--
* Draconus--a being that is very strong, but not as fast as a vampire. They have golden skin, and can create blue fire from their hands because their skin pores are specially adapted. The fire is created from a liquid that runs in their blood stream from an organ called a Payr, and one it connects with the air, it ignites.They are known as the protectors.
*Crau--beings that ca
