I did some writing

Daray was a nurse. The world had fallen into dark times, the ancients ruled the world and that drove people to madness. Daray tried to help them as much as she could, but sometimes there simply wasn't much she could do.
It seemed like any regular day at the asylum when a new patient came in. He didn't seem special, but somehow he seemed different from the others. Not only was he one of the worst cases she'd ever seen, but he seemed rather familiar.
The doctors said that they'd found him on the street. Once he was stable and had started talking about people chasing him they had taking him to the asylum. They had said his name was Rendor
Daray was sitting next to his bed, watching him sleep. When he started moving around and mumbling about Quirinus, Chang Quin, and Atli - the three vampire leaders - she knew something was wrong and took hold of his hand.
He opened his eyes wide as soon as she took his hand. He looked up at her and whispered something. She leaned her head towards him and he said it again.
"Angel...save me." A shock ran up her arm and through her body.
The next thing she knew, she was opening her eyes to plain blue walls and medical equipment. Someone had moved her to one of the beds at the asylum. She listened and heard voices outside her door.
"What happened to her?"
"We're not sure. She seems perfectly healthy! Really, the only weird thing is taht it seems as though she fainted just a few seconds before that mad died..." the voices faded away as the men walked away.
Had Rendor died? Why had he seemed so familiar, and why had she fainted? She thought all these thoughts as she sat up and looked at the mirror next to her bed.
As soon as she saw her reflection she froze. What had happened to her? Her eyes had been blue, but now they were a sparkly purple. It was almost as if she were a .... no...she opened her mouth and almost fainted again at what she saw. She had to pairs of fangs. Daray had turned into a vampire

Romulus (also known as Quirinus) snapped his head up to look at Leonardo Da Vinci. "What did you say?" he asked menacingly.
"I said" snapped back Leonardo "that out scientists may have found another way to create vampires. Unfortunately, there are a few problems with it."
"What are the problems?"
"Well, it needs a relatively powerful vampire-"
"That shouldn't be a problem for us" Quirinus cut him off.
"-it also kills the vampire that does it."
Quirinus cringed inwardly when he heard that "...Well, that's a bit more problamatic. How does it work?"
Leonardo read off of a medical paper "The vampire has to be dying, and have eye contact with a human. Then, as a dying effort to continue living, they push there vampire enitity into the human. It's only a theory though."
"Not one that that I believe we have to test" he said after a moments thought. "What would the point be in killing one vampire only to create another, probably weaker one?"
The conversation was over and Quirinus dismissed Leonardo after whispering one more thing into his ear "Let's not tell anyone about this little theory, shall we?"
~~
Daray was panicking. How could she possibly have become a vampire? She hadn't had any dreams for months! That was the only way vampires were created!
Another excellent question was why she had purple eyes. She knew that humans eyes changed when they became vampires but she'd never seen a vampire with purple eyes. She'd only ever heard of one, in whispers and rumors.
She thought back to one of the rumours she'd heard...
"Ever heard about that true ancient?" asked the bartender.
"The true ancient?" she had asked.
"They say even the ancients are afraid of her! Imagine it! The only female vampire! I've heard she has purple eyes and is stronger than Atilla the Hun, smarter than Romulus, and more calculating than Sun Tzu! The most powerful vampire in the world!" claimed the bartender in reverance.
"I thought the ancients didn't make female vampires?" She asked, confused.
"Oh aye, they don't. But she was she's the true ancient! The first vampire!"
"That's not what I heard!" yelled out another customer "I heard that she was actually a time traveller and went back in time to create Romulus becuase she knew that if she didn't, she would never exist! I heard that the ancients don't make female vampires becuase they're afraid that if they do they'll create her and she'll kill them!"
Daray left then, thinking rather skeptical thoughts, as the bartender and customer got into a heated argument.
Suddenly she remembered where she had met Randor before. He had been the customer that knew about the true ancient. She thought back to the moment before she had passed out and realized something. When Randor had opened his eyes, they had been sparkly and surreal, and when he had opened his mouth he had to sets of fangs.
Rendor had been a vampire. Was it possible that there was another way to create vampires? Had Randor been the one that had turned her into a vampire? She didn't know, but she knew that she needed to find out.
