CHOCK FULL O' NUTRIENTS
|
My vampire novel idea is pretty turny.
It's about this guy (whose parents died in a fire, he escaped with his brother when he was a kid but his brother disappeared during the hubbub.) who after having phone sex with his fiance hears her scream and the line dies. Her parents turn up dead and he finds out that his parents and her parents owned some joint property in the form of a mountain cabin in the Alps, so he leaves his town (some weird people are trying to kill him) and heads to the cabin. While he's there, he's attacked by a monster and runs into his brother who he instantly recognizes due to a scar on his cheek, and the cabin is destroyed. He's taken back to a hospice in a town not too far away before being attacked again by another monster. He rallies a search party to try and destroy the monster and locate Sarah, his fiance, but when they go out, they're all destroyed, including a nurse that's taken an affinity to him. Finally, he wakes up and the town is empty. He heads to the hospice and finds that the basement door is open and heads down, and follows a tunnel that leads him to an underground lake which houses the entrance to a castle. He finds the nurse again, and they make their way into the castle, dodging traps and things. Finally, after the nurse is ACTUALLY killed instead of just imprisoned, he finds out the people pulling the strings are actually his parents, a set of immortals who kidnapped his wife to draw him to the Alps and had to do it that way because a group of anti-immortals were onto him. His parents were almost killed in the fire, set by his brother, who works for the anti-immortals, and the father has to either reign for another 600 years or die, but the only way is to have someone in his bloodline take over willingly, so the father kills Sarah and tells the main character that he can help her if he takes his power, which he does. Then the brother comes in as the father is dying and tries to kill his brother, but fails and dies. The end! (There's also more - The entire opening town is filled with 'immortals' and if the king and queen died without a successor, so would they all, the father was actually part of the plot to assasinate Lincoln, etc etc, more intrigue in the mountain, that's just the bare bones version.)
