Humans have been enslaved by vampires for centuries,where every Nation has a vampire bloodline ruling over it.
America is being ruled by the strongest vampire bloodline,the "cross". We humans are treated as slaves or pets to the vampires,as the vampires say it's the only way we can show our appreciation because they "saved" us from ourselves according to them. Humans are not given the luxury of using electronic gadgets but the vampires are exemptions.
The Cross built their castle in Washington D.C , the cross is a powerful bloodline that everyone shivers at the mention of the name not only are they powerful but also scary with the strictest rules that humans  must follow ,humans are taken to the castle to serve as servants, blood slaves or pets,this is usually done once or twice a month this is known as the selection because it's only those who are fit that are taken,once taken you never return and if you are lucky to return you never remain the same but due to some unknown reasons the selection is done every two weeks which is keeping humans at edge.

Lily's POV:

    I was rushing home with my younger sibling,Clair as we had such little time before curfew if we are caught by the vampire guards we are so dead,I checked my watch and it remained few minutes before it was eight. Our feet's could be heard pounding heavily on the streets,my little sister seemed to be getting tired of running.
"Clair please run faster we are almost home,don't give up yet" I tried to encourage her to run faster as I was also getting tired, soon we reached our home and rushed in without stopping to great Miss Poppins,an old lady who is just like a mother figure to not only clair and I but to every one living in the apartment. We raced up the stairs and rushed into the house locking our door shut. "I have never raced like that in my entire life" clair panted in between her sentence,I chuckled and headed to the kitchen, its not a modern one because we are denied of gadgets,so its a very simple one with a small stove for us to cook our meals and a small pantry,the apartment is small and cozy,just enough for clair and I. "Clair,come and assist me in preparing dinner,tomorrow is a busy day"," okay I'm coming",she started to the kitchen to help me. Clair is my 10years old sister, our parents are gone,they were part of the selected ever since it has just been clair and I, I love her and would do anything to keep her safe.
   We were eating dinner when we heard noises and screams,then we figured it has was the vampire guards here for the selection. Clair and I left our food and hugged ourselves not making any noise,the noise got closer then,the guards started knocking on the door "open this door in the name of the king",I scrambled up and opened the door,then clair and I bowed that's what is expected of us humans.
" Raise your heads,let's get this over with" one of the guards said,I looked up and I saw two guards,which I differentiated as scrawny and handsome, don't blame me even though I hate vampires I still find some of them attractive. Handsome walked over to my sister and gave her an accessing look then he gave an approving nod to scrawny,I quickly figured out that they were taking my sister away from me,before she was shoved out the door I spoke up.
"Wait,please don't take her take me instead", I pleaded with them,then scrawny slapped me and my sister screamed " you have no right to interfere with the selection " he barked at me,handsome shut him up then looked at me "why do you say so?", " my sister is so young and still has a lot to learn about serving vampires besides it would be an honor to serve our saviours who saved us from ourselves " I said trying to reason with him,he looked pleased then he told scrawny to let go of my sister and take me instead,my sister burst into tears and I smile at her before I'm shoved out the door and into the streets to join the others.
