Stupid of me to not say anything about the story :P Here's a bit 'bout what I do have for the 1st and plot for the 2nd.

First book: The "I" character is Sarah Margreth (in norwegian, meaning princess pearl). She is vain, popular and seems to be a "classical" beauty. The story begins when she's forced to sit beside someone she has never noticed before, Alina. They become friends - which her other friends doesn't like - and she uses their assignment (which ofcourse is about old mythical creatures, like vampires) as an excuse to hang out with Alina. At the same time, she feels like something's watching her, and she has scary dreams.

It ends with her getting a bit too... excited at a party, and Alina leaves her alone. Everything that happens between is fuzzy, therefore the help discussion.

Second book starts when she turns, lying the in grass alone - and feeling her senses sharpen. She tries to go home, but when she sees how she looks like, she runs away.
She learns about her thirst, apperance, strength, etc. Then she meets Leonora, who teaches her the basics, and seems to know everything. (but the truth is that she's only around a year old, and was left to die when vampires raided a house full of crackheads - she was one of them).

And I haven't gotten longer because of the big hole in the first book :P

well you'r character could maybe have someone watching her because of the assingment and her teacher could be a vampire,that want'd to change her,therefore assingment was given.She could link together what was happening, after some substial clues(everyone she meets is different,vampires,including Alina)She freaks tires to run,possibley succeeds for awile and then is caught by random and changed or is captured by who is chasing her.
That's my idea, use it if you want to or not.

with the teacher being a vamp bit it could be like shes doing the assignment on vamps and he doesnt want her to find any clues that might lead to her finding out about him.
he has to change her bacause she finds out what he is

Are you using the word "book" to describe "chapters?" Cause it sounds like to me you don't have two books (75,000+ words), but two chapters.

Hehe, no. I do mean book. I've written 7 chapters, that's around 5 000 words each, in the first book.
The second book is only a few drafts, and no finished chapters.

U said she felt like something was watching her, it could be someone. maybe a group of vampires are secretly watching her and 1 of them could be a guy who has secretly fallen for her and his group of friends doesnt kno about it. and now she suddenly notices him and his friends who she never really noticed b4. this is starting to cause problems 4 him because they like to keep a low profile.He now has to find a way to warn her that they're after her without them finding out. he had no choice but to change her or they would have killed her

Annie; thanks for sharing that! Now my mind is starting to work a bit; I'm thinking of making her a bit too nosy about the assignment, getting nightmares about the vampires who turn her, and getting a bit paranoid about it.

Katherine; I like the idea of a group watching her, but that they remain anonymous. The love story-thing is too cliché for me:P

But thanks for your help so far! :D
