Zoey is nothing like she used to be before the attack on her and her parents. She is now pretty closed off, mostly sticking to hanging out by herself so she doesn’t hurt anyone. Though, there are times where the old Zoey comes through and she will want to join more after school things or talk to people — and she does, making her feel happy for a bit until reality sets in and she crawls back into her hole and she leaves the clubs or committees. Or she snaps and loses the hold that she has on her other emotions — either causing her to have an anger problem for no reason or she just breaks down in tears, it’s pretty awful and only makes her want to crawl deeper into her loner hole. There was a deep craving for a real friend — like the ones she used to have — but the craving to keep people safe from her was much stronger. So becoming a quiet loner was her best choice until she learned to control it all. All around, Zoey has become a much darker version of her once light, carefree self — at least around other people.
When Zoey was younger, she was a very happy child. Always active, playful and friendly. Doing well in school, participating in after school activities and ending up being quite popular by the time she hit her teens — even with the fact that she was a comic book/superhero/supernatural freak. One thing most people liked about her was the fact she never let it go to her head or change her. Her relationship with her parents only grew as she did. Everything was pretty amazing in her opinion.
Until the night of her sixteenth birthday. Her parents had taken her out to dinner, they talked and had fun and planned her party for that weekend — and her father thought he was sneaky by bringing up Zoey’s boyfriend. There was even talk on university trips and plans for scholarships to help get her tuition paid. A simple, nice, family dinner that was ruined as soon as they walked out of the restaurant and headed towards their car.
They came out of nowhere and went for Zoey first, but her father got in the way and all she could remember seeing was red. Blood pouring from her fathers throat as the thing bit into it, her mother screaming in fear and then in pain. There was a pain in her head and then suddenly everything went dark.
Zoey had woken up in the backyard of her home a little before sunrise, her neck was a bit stiff but she felt amazing — though terribly hungry. The memories of what happened to her parents, or even herself, hadn’t come back to her yet until the sun started to come up as she was walking towards the back door of her home. The sun burned her skin and she ran inside, fast. That was when it all started clicking together. After spending the day trashing her house in anger that was so extreme, the newly turned vampire sped out into the night and fed for the first time — leaving the body of some homeless man in some alley next to a random bar. No remorse until she went home to no one and broke down.
She lived with her aunt for that summer, her aunt found out about her niece being a vampire almost as soon as she arrived — probably because she couldn’t get inside her aunt’s house without being invited. It was her aunt that found Walton and instantly enrolled Zoey.
Even though she hadn’t mastered all of her skills, having only been a vampire for a short time, Zoey had an okay control over her hunger around humans since her first night as a vampire — the only reason her aunt had kept her around was this one. But it was still hard to keep it at bay, especially if she didn’t have enough blood in take for the day. Controlling her emotions was also straining but Zoey did the best she could so she could get into Walton and not be completely alone anymore.
Though she feels, in her now long and immortal life, that the loneliness was never going to go away. Not until someone can break through the barrier she had built up around herself.
