well behaved women

The vampire crouched on the edge of the railing, gaunt gray face sharply delineated by shadow, the expression in those glassy black eyes lapsing from that eerie focus to uneasiness. "You are not afraid of me?"

"No," Isabella said, biting off her thread and tying it into a messy knot. "Does that hurt your feelings? I am very sorry." He stared at her. She tried again. "I'm sure if I couldn't kill you I would be very very afraid." The stuffed rabbit gave her a deeply reproachful stare for her substandard sewing skills and lack of manners; she kissed it on the nose. "Would you like a grilled cheese sandwich?"

This series would be all about...the adventures of an actually creepy, back-to-origins vampire and a girl who can bring these stuffed animals to life to DO HER BIDDING and she is named Isabella because Bella is actually a really pretty name--I like it alot--and I want to reclaim it from the land of FAIL. And she carries this, like, ridiculous stuffed unicorn with shiny stuffed wings, all white and fluffy and fake looking, and when she brings it to life it GROWS and gets RED EYES and FANGS and likes to TRAMPLE VAMPIRES. And the vampire is so confused by how cheerfully SCARY this human girl is that he, like, starts following her everywhere.

And this is my version of the vampire romance.

(Yay!)
