Sucks to Be Me by Kimberly Pauley

ok, so I'm reading a new vampire book called "Sucks to be me" by Kimberly Pauley. It's about a teenage girl (of course -_-) both of whom's parents are vampires. She needs to decide whether or not she wants to be a vampire, and to do that the vampire counsel is sending her to a month of lessons about vampires (more on this later). 
At one lesson, the teacher starts telling them more about how vampires can catch human diseases (more on this later), and how they should be careful with where the blood they drink comes from (more on this later). At one point she says "And I don't want to hear about any Elizabeth Bathory copy-cats. Let me just say, once and for al, that bathing in blood has no effect whatsoever (more on this later) and will not sate your hunger (more on this later AGAIN ;-.-)." The main character then turns to the boy sitting next to her and asks who Elizabeth Bathory is. He says "Romanian Countess from the 1500s. She like to kill her chambermaids and bathe in their blood. Thought it made her look younger."
I found this very interesting, so I looked her up. Once again, I'll write more on her later, but for now, just quickly:
The main charecter of my "story," the true ancient, is the decent of Elizabeth Bathory (as I said, more on this later).

Night World by L.J. Smith

So I'm reading a new book (Night world), and the first (of three) stories is called Secret vampire, and is, obviously, about vampires.
At one point they kind of explain why vampires need to drink human blood to survive, and I thought that it made a lot of sense, so I'm going to use it for my vampires.
"Vampire blood destroy hemoglobin-the red cells-in human blood. Once it destroys enough of the red cells, you stop getting the oxygen you need to live"..."We take a little and that carries oxygen through our system until our own blood destroys it."
Doesn't that make a lot of sense?
So that and for other mystical reasons is why my vampires need human blood to survive.

A quote from bloodline

The vampire in Bloodline said this:
"One should never shield children from darkness. For the darkness will find them anyway. And all the more easily if they are not prepared."

"Angel...save me"

okay, so once again, I was reading bloodline, and on the ninth page this is basiclly what happened:
There was a wounded man who had been fighting in a war. He was in a hospital (a sanitorium actually) and a nurse there knew him. He isn't responding so she starts reading his journal to him. He says stop and she takes his hand. He finally opens his eyes, looks at her, and says "angel...save me" then he falls asleep.
This gave me an idea. 
A man (a vampire) is checked into an insane asylum. His nurse was a great freind of his before he had become a vampire (she doesn't know that he is a vampire yet) and she had a huge crush on him when they were little. He looks at her and seeing her beauty says "angel...save me." She takes his hand and recognizes him. He turns her into a vampire

Bloodline=main plot?

So last night I started reading this new book, bloodline (it's about a descendant of Dracula). After I read 9 pages I came up with six great ideas, including what would be the main plot of this story I would never write! Now the question is, which one should I post first?
