I'm choosing the book called "The vampire's assistant" since I want to write about vampires. It's a story about a boy named Darren who really wants to be someone else in his life. Everything bores him to death in his life, he needs something new and exciting. So, he and his friend Steve went to a freak show, where they saw Mr. Crepsley, who is real vampire. After the show, Steve goes to him and asks him to turn him into a vampire. Mr. Crepsley tells Steve that his blood is evil and he cannot become a vampire. Steve leaves, feeling angry. Darren, who was hearing the entire conversation in a closet, gets out of it and steals Mr. Crepsley's spider and keeps her with him. Later on, Darren bumps into Mr. Crepsley and he gives Darren an offer to become a vampire. Darren eventually agrees and becomes a half-vampire. Next day, Darren goes to school with the spider and Steve gets accidently bitten by it and gets himself into a hospital. Darren asks Mr. Crepsley to save Steve. Mr C makes a bargain with Darren in order to save Steve, he has to become a leave this world and follow Mr. C as his assistant and half-vampire.
Darren agrees, since Steve is his best friend and he doesn't want to lose him. When Darren gets home from the hospital, he goes past his sister's room and suddenly feels the urge to drink someone's blood. He hardly stops in his tracks since it was hard for him to do that, and races to his room. Mr C is already there, waiting for him. He tells Darren that he has to forget that he has a family and he has to die in order to disappear. Darren takes it seriously and says goodbye to his family one more time. He doesn't tell them anything, goes back to his room and out the window to get some fresh air. Mr. C then gives Darren a potion that would symbolize death and then waits for the potion to work. It is just like the potion used in the William Shakespears' Romeo and Juliet, when she drinks the potion to be symbolically dead. When it did, Mr.C snaps Darren's neck in process. That wasn't harmful; instead, it made believe, and would look like real death. After the funeral and the burial, Mr.C digs Darren's grave and gets him out from there. Now everyone thinks that he's dead and no one would look for him. After Darren is out, Mr. C is attacked by a vampaneze and Darren gets almost kidnapped, but Mr. C rescues him in time. He then takes Darren in light speed to the camp where the people with special abilities stay.
Then, Mr. C tells Darren that since everyone knows that he's dead, and staying in this camp would be a safe place for him to stay and adapt. Also, in his new life, he can't live without drinking blood from another human but tries to avoid it and live without it. But that hurts him physically. Vampires, as told by Mr. C, need that liquid in order to live on; without it, a vampire will grow weak and wouldn't be able to defend himself when needed to. Later on, Darren finds out that Steve is the vampeneze, a violent type of a vampire.
