Details about my character:Ok, Im 19 and my name is Ophelia Ann James. My mother had been obsessed with Shakespeare, so when my mother died during child birth, my father thought that it would be best to name you after a character from one of Shakespeare's plays. However, because of my long, bright red hair, everyone always called me Red, including my father. I have dark emerald green eyes. I am also very bright and intelligent. I go to a small, but respected college in the middle of America. I hope one day to be a writer.

"Come on Red. I need to get out of this dorm room for awhile, and so do you, you've been studying too hard," My roommate Alice begs.
"I don't know Alice. You know I have an exam tomorrow morning," I try to protest as I continue to read from a text book.
"Aw...come on," she says pulling me out of my computer chair, "You haven't left the campus in ages," she drags me to her closet and starts going through her things, testing them up to me, "and I haven't been out sense I broke up with Adam. We can go to a night club, just for a few hours. Here this will look good on you."
Alice tosses me a short, black jean skirt and a black halter top.
"You can wear my double hoop earrings...and let me see if I can get that hair of your's into a fancy bun. And you just have to put on some red lipstick and dark brown eye shadow."
When i was dressed and all dazzled up the way Alice wanted me to look, she drag me down to the night club.
I dance awhile, and i was actually have a little fun despite all the school work i still had to do. However after awhile I start to feel sick because of all the smoke and sweat.
"Alice, I think I'm going to walk home," I told her when i found her.
"I can drive you home if you want, Red," Alice offers.
"No, I think the walk will do me some good."
"Alight, I'll see you when I get back...if I get back," she gestures at the guy that she has been dancing with and winks at me, i couldn't help but laugh a little.
I started to walk slowly home, enjoying in the cool night air. Before long, I felt chilled because of My clothing. I start to rub my arms to keep warm. I spot an ally way that i have taken a billion times to get back to campus. It seemed different in the dark, almost frightening.
Suddenly I saw a man hunched over by a dumpster. I thought that he maybe sick or something.
"Hello?...Are you alright?" I yell a fare distance way from him.
He turns to face me. I saw a stream of blood slide out the corner of his mouth and slide down past his chin. At first I think it is his own blood, but then I see a bloody body lying on the ally floor.
I was stunned. Something inside me tells me to run, but i can't get that message down to My feet.
I look back at the man and I saw two pearly white fangs covered in blood. I started to scream, as he licks the blood off his fangs. But then he says, "Shhh...you'll be alright, I won't hurt you," then his eyes meet mine's. I can't seem to break away from those sea-storm gray eyes. I couldn't understand why i won't run. He approaches me and gently strokes my cheek. "Sleep now, sleep," he whispers. I try to keep my eyes open, but everything filters to darkness as i fall into his arms.
When I finally open my eyes, I find yourself in a strange room. I can't remember how I got there at first, and then it all floods back to me. The body in the ally and the guy with the sea-storm gray eyes.
I Was lying on a beautiful oaken canopy with deep blue, almost black curtains. The blankets match the curtains.

I uncover Myself and find that I was still wearing the clothes that I worn to the night club, however, My hair has also been undone and drapes over My shoulders in a matted mess. Alice's double hoop earrings have also been removed, as well as the high hilled sandals.
I push back the bed curtains and place My bare feet on the cold stone floor.
There is a lit candle beside the bed that gave me just enough light to see the outline of the room. There is a desk with an old computer on it that is beside a closed door. Across form that is a dresser that has a mirror above it that a black cloth draped over it. 'Weird' I thought.
Suddenly the door besides the desk opens. The guy from the ally enters the room, a tray of food in one hand and a glass of water in the other. Tucked under his arm is a book of some kind. When he sees me standing by the dresser instead of lying in bed, he drops the book onto the hard stone floor. I jump at the sound.
"Good, youre awake. I brought you some food incase you were hungry," he says, placing the tray and the glass of water on the desk before picking up the book off of the floor.
He has dark brown hair that hangs just below his ears and he seems built. His skin is very pale, as if it hasn't seen the sunlight in years. And those eyes....those enchanting, sea-gray eyes. I can't help but think hes hot.
"If you want a shower," he opens a door that is beside the bed and turns on a light, "you should find everything you need in there." He walks past me and over to the door beside the dresser, "In here are some clothes. Pick anything you'd like."
"Thank you," I manage to mutter, but I didn't move from my spot.
"Where am I?" I ask, "and who are you?"
"You are in my castle, and I am Robin Goodfellow Jakson" he says, leaning against the dresser.
"Robin Goodfellow? As in Puck?" I ask.
"Yes, exactly like Puck. You know Shakespeare?" he asks some what excitedly, coming closer to me so that he just inches way from me.
"Yeah, my given name is Ophelia Ann James. But most people call me Red."
He laughs with a cute devilish grin and runs his fingers through my hair, "I can see why."
I was once again reminded of this pearly white fangs as he smiles at me. Fear rises in me as I sense that he is fighting a blood lust.
He senses me fear (lovely) , "Don't worry Red. I won't hurt you," he says stroking my cheek.
"Does sucking my blood count as not hurting me?" I snap, surprising Robin as well as myself.
"Oh...that.." he says sitting down on the bed. "That's kind of a long story...you see, I'm a vampire...but I assume you guessed that part already....anyway, you don't have to worry about that, I won't suck your blood."
Suddenly a guy with black hair, almost black eyes, and some what more built then Robin barges into the room.
"How dare you bring a human here Robin! Don't you know better then to bring your food home with you!"
"I don't plan on feeding off her, Thomas," Robin yells back.
"Oh...I didn't realize you were looking for a pet," Thomas glances at me and grunts, "I could have hooked you up with something better then that."
Robin stands between me and Thomas. "Well it's not up to you who I pick as a pet," Robin says sternly.
"Ok. Ok. I'll take the hint. You should be more careful with her though, Robin. I could smell her sent from the entrance hall. Youre lucky that I have no interest in her, but the other's might," Thomas says as he exits the room.
"Sorry about that Red...Thomas can be a little heartless."
"Am I really your pet?" you ask.
