I went online to a plot generator and made a random plot. I then changed a little bit, what do you think?
Tristan Jones suspected something was a little off when a vampire tried to bite him when he was just ten years old. Nevertheless, he lived a relatively normal life among other humans.
It wasn't until years later when he he bumped into the devilishly adorable vampire, Lucy Roth, that his life finally began to make sense.
However, Lucy proved to be kind and seemed to have an unhealthy obsession with writing. Tristan soon learnt that Lucy had taken an oath never to take pleasure from a human being.
When Tristan's old friend is injured in a polo accident, Tristan realises his own life is at risk.
Despite Lucy's bloody wounds and long claws, Tristan finds himself falling for the vampire. Only fate will decided whether he kills or protects her.
One night, a gremlin appears before Tristan and warns him of a darkness within Lucy. The gremlin gives Tristan the ripped candlestick - the only weapon that can defeat a adorable vampire.
Will Tristan find it in himself to kill the only creature who has ever made him feel truly uneasy?
Thanks
p.s. Please: do yourself a favour. If you "Google" The Wife's Story, do NOT read a precis, do NOT read a synopsis. Read the story itself... and prepare to be blown away by the final paragraph.
p.p.s. That trembling I mentioned (NOT caused by the named story) was pretty violent. The "half an hour" I cited is an understatement. I believe that I fell asleep while still shivering, and woke up the next morning feeling uneasy, to say the least.
And she's VERY far removed from being a writer of terror fiction. The short story that had me trembling WASN'T a terror story. It was a Sci-Fi short story. I don't think that it was meant to scare anybody. It was the implication / POSSIBILITY contained in it that terrified me.
Sorry, this thread is supposed to be about your idea, not about the brilliance of Ms. Le Guin.
... Unless you are talented enough to do something REALLY original with a hackneyed genre. Read ''The Wife's Story'' by Ursula K. Le Guin (in her 1982 collection The Compass Rose). It SCARES me how brilliant this is!
But then just about NOBODY is as talented as Ursula K. Le Guin. She is the only writer who has ever had me shivering with paranoia (after reading [another] of her short stories). I was trembling for over half an hour.
Question: Do you write for your own pleasure? Or are you hoping to get your story published?
If the former, go for it.
If the latter, I would seriously recommend you to stay as far away from "loveable vampire and the human who loves him/her, but can't decide whether to surrender to his/her charms or drive a wooden stake through his/her heart" plots as you possibly can.
It's been done before.

Try something a teeny bit more original, is my advice.
