Dashed and Divided
The year is unknown. A few years back, a nuclear war went wrong and sent the world into an apocalypse. Those exposed to radiation from the nuclear waste were mutated, turned into melting zombies that made it a few steps before they died instantly. Some lived, though, and became killing machines that infected many. Slowly, the population of these horrid, grotesque creatures grew. A coven of vampires, creatures completely immune to any effects of the radiation remained unharmed, and took refuge in a summer home out in the woods. The summer home is a large, modern style cabin, untouched since the discovery of it. The vampires soon came to the realization that they would die without blood, and how unfortunate for them that there seems to be no human survivors. Until they discovered otherwise.
A group of few human survivors banded together as an attempt to survive and barely manage to keep their lives. Unfortunately for them, the coven was made aware of their existence. Or, well, they'd soon come to discover that it was fortunate for them. The vampires take the group hostage, and take them back to their hideout. The vampires treat the humans like royalty and protect them with their lives, knowing they'd die if the humans died. The humans are treated like gods. Everything is good and well until the mutant monsters breach the forest and swarm the home, overpowering both humans and vampires. What happens next? Do they all manage to flee and keep their lives, or die trying?
Vampire Info
The coven is led by one vampire. The second in command has the same authorities and such as the leader, and is the first in the succession line if something happens to the leader. These two are generally the strongest and oldest, and have the best control over their abilities. Vampires have a number of abilities, and the longer they go without blood, the weaker they get. They have the ability to transform into a bat. This is extremely difficult to do, and the more control they have over their powers, the longer they are able to stay transformed. They have enhanced hearing and eyesight.
Vampires can put someone under their spell, and basically have them do their bidding. This happens whenever someone drinks the blood of the vampire. They are entirely devoted to the vampire, and the known cure for this has been destroyed. There are a number of other abilities, but the vampires must discover them on their own. They have golden eyes, and occasionally may have pointed ears. They have long, sharp fangs and sharp claws that they can control as they please.
