Yes, vampires are real. Yes, we always have been. No, I am not going to bite you and turn you into one of us. My best friends and I just finished our required training to become the next group of elite warriors and assassins for our clans. Amara and I are heading back home to Boston with our families where we will get assigned our 'jobs.' Our main job is controlling the population of infected vampires in and around our territory, but we will also have a 'day job' to keep our businesses legitimate and our clans running smoothly. My clan runs pharmaceutical companies and I am not a scientist. I am a martial arts expert, so I don't know what my parents will do with me. I am their only living child, so the stakes are higher for me to make sure that I don't bring shame to them and our clan. Will they let me live in Boston? What will my life be like now that I am on my own? Can I handle the responsibilities thrust at me?
