Zoe is a troubled girl, who has been through several foster homes, but has not been able to adapt to any of them, nor does she herself understand why. Nearing eighteen, she has her last chance to get her bearings in life. She is taken to the home of Louise, a teacher, who has decided to adopt her before she is no longer a government responsibility. Upon arriving at her new home, the girl feels she has finally found her place in the world, when she begins to have strange dreams. In them, a man visits her every night. The girl falls in love, but knows he is not real. Is it? A story of sacrifice and love. Can love break a curse?

Predestined At Vampire Chapter 1 AT Home (ZOE)

I woke up to the screams, I wasn't surprised. I knew perfectly well why.

I had pulled another stunt. It seemed involuntary. It just happened, and before I knew it, I was back at the orphanage.

The door opened with a thud. I covered my head with the blanket.

"Enough Zoe! I can't take it anymore! You're going back to the orphanage today! I tried. I swear I tried." She shouted.

"I know..." I whispered.

"You know, then why do you act like this?" She asked exasperated.

"I don't even know. I must be an imbecile."

"Or crazy! How could you? Look at me, Zoe. Look at me, damn it!" She said nervously.

I pulled the blanket off my head and slowly turned toward her. The woman was wrapped in the towel, and her skin was completely purple. I had put violet in her cream. Since she was blonde, her tinting cream already had that coloration, and she probably didn't notice the trap until she was all purple.

"How do you imagine I'm going to work? "I kept quiet.

"I'll let you know at work that I won't be attending....and I'll take you back." The woman was pissed off and left slamming the door.

I started to pack my things. This time there was no turning back. Her mind was made up.

This was a nice home, but I didn't feel at home here. It was as if this was not my place in the world. And the worst thing is that I felt this way at the orphanage too.

(...)

"Again Zoe?" The teacher said.

"I don't know what's gotten into me Professor Louise..."

"You need to change. You're almost eighteen now. You won't be able to stay here when you're of age." She sighed.

"I know." I muttered.

"You don't have a job, how are you going to live? For God's sake Zoe!" She squinted.

I kept quiet.

"You can go. I'll try a new family and let you know. Try not to destroy your chances again." She said stunned.

"Yes, ma'am." I spoke and got up to leave.

"Zoe?" She called out.

"Yes?" I spoke still on my back with my hand on the doorknob.

She sighed.

"Do you like me?" She asked.

"I do." I answered the obvious.

"Would you like to do an experiment in my house?"

I turned to her.

"Are you serious?" I asked in surprise.

"I am. I'm sure there is no other family for you. But soon you will no longer be a government responsibility and you will be on the street. I worry." I said fondly.

"Then I do. I'll try to behave. I promise." I perked up, hoping I wouldn't screw up again.

"You can go now. I'll get everything ready and by the end of the day you'll go with me." She said and I smiled.

"Yes, ma'am." I spoke and opened the door.

I went back to the bedroom and sat on my bed. It was a bunk bed, actually. The girl who slept on top of it had left. She had gone to live with one of the couples who had returned me. It had been almost a year. I didn't spend even a week in their house.

I didn't really know what was wrong with me. Things just happened. One moment I was determined to stay in that home, the next I would do something wrong and get kicked out. I really hoped that Louise's home would be different. She was special, she loved taking care of us. And she knew how troublesome I was. It would be easier. At least I hoped it would be. Or else my next address would be the Viaduto do Chá.

There was nothing to clean up, I had just arrived, so when Louise left the office, I was already standing in the doorway waiting. I was afraid she would change her mind.

She closed the door with the key and looked at me with a suspicious smile.

"Shall we go?" She asked.

"Let's go." I replied sheepishly.

She walked in front of me and when we got to the car, she opened the trunk for me to put my things (which came down to what could fit in a backpack).

She opened the driver's door and got in, opening the passenger door for me from the inside. I sat on the seat and smelled jasmine. Her perfume. It permeated every part of the car.

She started the engine and drove away in silence. It was not a bad silence. She was giving me space.

The car drove through a gate and into a gated community with several townhouses. It was beautiful.

She stopped at house number 62 and we got out.

Louise opened the gate and we went inside. It was a symbolic gate. The fence was low and there was a small garden. It looked like the houses in the USA.

We came into the small living room, it was cozy and elegant. Louise's face.

"Here we are. Did you like it?" She asked watching me scan the room.

"Very much." I smiled.

I'll show you around, then you can settle into the guest room.

A man came in carrying my suitcases and climbed up the stairs with them.

Louise showed me all eight rooms of the house and the pool in the back, the more she showed me, the more a feeling came over me. The feeling that I was finally home. The place I had been looking for all these years.

She left me at the door of her room and I went in, after saying goodbye and thank you.

The room was large and seemed to have been decorated for me. Which was impossible, since until that morning we didn't know I was coming. And a decoration like this would take at least fifteen days to be done.

I took my things out of my suitcase and put them in the closet.

I sat on the edge of the examination table, the crinkle of the sanitary paper sounding like thunder in the sterile room. The doctor didn't even look at me as he confirmed the news: the pregnancy was over. My husband, Keyon, didn't answer my call. He just sent an automated text: "In a meeting." When I returned to our cold mansion, I found his iPad glowing with a message from his "muse," Katina. He was throwing her a secret gala tonight-on our third wedding anniversary. He told her he couldn't wait to escape the "boring" and "draining" atmosphere I created at home. Keyon didn't stumble in until 3 AM, smelling of Katina's perfume with a smear of red on his collar. When I handed him the divorce papers, he laughed in my face. He called me a "glorified housekeeper" with no skills and no future, promising I'd be back in three days begging for a subway ticket. He even bet his friends ten thousand dollars that I wouldn't survive a week without his name. He had his assistant cancel my credit cards and block my gate access before I even reached the end of the driveway. He wanted me to starve. He wanted me to crawl. He sat in his office, mocking the "desperate" woman who pawned her three-million-dollar wedding ring for scrap metal just to pay for a meal. I stood on the rainy curb, watching the man I had protected for three years treat my life like trash. He didn't know about the ultrasound I just threw in the bin. He didn't know that while he was calling me "dull," I was the one secretly writing the code that kept his billion-dollar empire from collapsing. As I slid into a cheap Uber, I opened a hidden, encrypted app on my phone. The screen refreshed to a dashboard for an account Keyon didn't know existed. The balance was ten figures long-the accumulated wealth of "Solaris," the world's most elusive tech genius. Keyon thinks he just evicted a parasite, but he's about to find out he just declared war on the only person who can hit "delete" on his entire life.

The heavy iron gates of the Wilderness Correction Camp groaned as they released me after three years of state-sponsored hell. I stood on the dirt road, clutching a plastic bag that held my entire life, waiting for the family that claimed they sent me there for "rehab." My brother, Brady, picked me up in a luxury SUV only to throw me out onto a deserted highway in the middle of a brewing storm. He told me I was a "public relations nightmare" and that the rain might finally wash the "stink" of the camp off me. He drove away, leaving me to limp miles through the mud on a snapped ankle. When I finally dragged myself to our family estate, my mother didn't offer a hug; she gasped in horror because my muddy clothes were ruining her Italian marble. They didn't give me my old room back. Instead, they banished me to a moldy gardener’s shack and hired a "babysitter" to make sure I didn't embarrass them further. My sister, Kaleigh, stood there in white cashmere, pretending to cry while clinging to her fiancé, Ambrose—the man who had once been mine. They all treated me like a volatile junkie, refusing to acknowledge that Kaleigh was the one who planted the drugs in my bag three years ago. They wanted to believe I was broken so they wouldn't have to feel guilty about the "wellness retreat" that was actually a torture chamber. I sat in the dark of that shed, feeling the cooling gel on the cigarette burns that covered my arms, and realized they had made a fatal mistake. They thought they had erased me, but I had returned with a roadmap of scars and a hidden satellite phone. At dinner, I didn't beg for their love. I simply rolled up my sleeves and showed them the price of their silence. As the wine spilled and the lies crumbled, I sent a single text to the only person I trusted: "I'm in. Let them simmer." The hunt was finally on.
