The story of Lexi

I fell in love with the name Lexi 3 years ago and if I thought of this name when my daughter was born, well I would have named her Lexi :-)

One day while I was hanging out with my daughter, she told me that she wanted me to write a story about a Vampire and a Witch falling in love. 

Weird right?

So, I decided to humor her.  The name for the Witch had to be Lexi and my daughter came up with the last name--Reed.  As I started to plot out my story, I found that I didn't know as much about Vampires and Witches as I thought I did, but it's fiction, write it any way you want, let your imagination take over.  But, it does help to read up on your mythology.

I started visualizing my characters, Lexi, Sebastian, and Leticia.  The next thing I knew, I had my outline done.  Even when creating my outline I felt like I was there in the story, that I was Lexi!  I can see everything that is happening as well as everything that is going to happen so vividly.

Lexi Reed comes from a line of powerful witches and on her 16th birthday, she discovers just how powerful she is.  She lives with her Coven in a small town in Oregon and all of her life was told she was the chosen one.  Lexi didn't quite understand what that meant until she received her amulet and discovers all to quickly what it is she must do--destroy the most powerful vampire, Leticia.

Leticia is a very powerful vampire, she got her power by absorbing the magic from every powerful witch.  It just so happens that every powerful witch is related to Lexi.  The only way to absorb their magic is to kill them.  Leticia's power is almost complete, there is just one more witch's magic she needs to absorb, Lexi's.  Once she has succeeded, she will be powerful enough to give herself immortality.

Sebastian didn't want the vampire life and refuses to hunt humans for food and feeds off of animals.  Leticia came and destroyed his entire town and killed his true love, Josephine, and turned him into a vampire sensing that he will be useful in helping her achieve total power.   80 years later, when Lexi has turned 16, Josephine came to Sebastian begging him to help Lexi.

  Together Sebastian and Lexi plot how they will destroy Leticia, and throughout this process, fall for each other as well.

There, that is a brief little synopsis of my story.  If I went into more detail, I would ruin it for you and you would never read it ;-)  I still need a name.  Something catchy.  Hmmmm...perhaps the more I write it will come to me.

 If you have an idea I would love to hear it!!
